 up to us at home to do what we
 can"
 NJ. P. Messer made a short speech in defense of the Washington represen- tatives, declaring that the congress- men at Washington would do all they can do to promote the enterprise.
 "I believe they are ready and will ing to do everything they can,' he said. They have done everything they could in the past in the interest of this section. We cannot expect them to cooperate with us unless We have something to offer. After We have done all we can here. let us call on our representatives to help, but it is up to us to lay the foundation at home.
 Following much discussion and the making and resembling of motions President Charles F. DeBardeleben Of the Chamber of Commerce was authors ized to appoint a general committee to be in charge of the campaign for bringing the camp to Birmingham.
 This committee will cooperate with committees from other civic organlza- tions. including a site committee from tllt pllHlIlS lIiin 1lSdl Estate tAtHdISe, With Groom Bettty as chairman.
 According to Nat Barker, who has been Investigating the situation, there are several sites available in this dis trict suitable for the camp. There is one site tt Thomas. running north from the Louisville and Nashville tracks and the car line, containing about POGO to 5000 acres. MT. Barker stated that this tract which is owned by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company and the Re. public company, would be available. He referred to another site at Hawkins Springs, and another of about 1900 acres at Boyles, owned by R. H. Munger.

BRIGADE OFFICERS
 WANT ID KNOW AS
 TOSOLD|ER'S DEATH

Montgomery, April Especially Brig ade headquarters of the Alabama Ma tional Guard Friday requested headquar- ters of the First Cavalry regiment at Anniston to make an official report on the death of cavalryman supposed to be Walter Adams at Riverside. a point in the Anniston district. No information about the death has been received. It IS supposed from unofficial dispatches that Adams fell or was thrown from a bridge and received injuries which resulted in his death
 The trouble at Riverside is the first that has occurred since the Alabama brigade was dispatched to various points in the state last week to act as guards of railroad property, bridges and indus tries which may be used in the cam paign against Germany.
 Recruiting stations of the army and navy continued to do a good business Friday, while large number applied for enlistment in the Alabama National Guard under the new order of the war department for the enlistment of all Ma tonal Guard organiza tions to full peace strength. It is estimated that the Mont gomery station is receiving reports of 50 enlstments each day.

CONTROL OVER co.
FUNDS; IS PROPOSAL

Placing the control of county
finances in the hands of the board of
county commissioners instead of with
the state comptroller, an act has been
drafted by County Attorney Reese,
and an effort will be made to have it
passed at the coming session of the
legislature.
The act broadens the authority of
the boards in the matter of expanding
money, for it is pointed out, the men
most familiar with the ways in which
the money is to be expended are most
capable of spending it.

Ingrams."

"The Last of the Ingrans," which
will be seen at the Isis theatre Mon
day, is said to offer William Desmond
the greatest opportunities for varied
characterization that he has yet had.
The story of this Triangle-Kay Bee
drama deals with two tempest tossed
souls who fight their battles and tri-
umph over hearts as hard as the rock
bound coast Of their native New Eng
land. The incidents recount the re-
generation of a young ne'er-do-wen
through his meeting with the village
Magdalene and of their conquest Of
the narrow minded bigots who seek
to drive the two from their altar of
sacrifice.

tied success. He was in the support
of Miss Ethel Barrymore in "Our

Summarized.

While on his return with the
mail from Index on Tuesday, Will
lie Ross, the carrier, came very
nearly being drowned. A heavy
rain had caused the ford Of Grassy
near the home Of l.. G.. Caskey to
become very much swollen. When
be entered the ford the water was
formidable, but while crossing the
stream heavy gush of water
came down upon him and the
horse and buggy in which be was
riding. The force of the water
upturned the buggy and COM
pletely inundated the whole out
fit. He happened to catch root
Of nearby tree and saved HIM
self out. The mule which be was
driving was with some difficulty
cut loose from the buggy and got
out. On the next day the buggy
was found lodged some distance
down the creek, and the mail
pouch was found about two and a
half miles down the stream.

What's the Use?

1t is of little use for the local
editor to waste his lungs and
sprain his spiue in trying to boom
town when the citizens all star d
ar.uud with their hands in their
pockets and indifferently wait for
something TO turn up. If the cap
italists or business men do not put
their shoulders to the wheel and
do little boosting It'll useless for
the editor to try and boom things.
He can write articles till he gets
baldheaded, but if the citizens
themselves do not take hold and
push. the town will forever stick
in the mud. OF what use is it for
the local paper TO suggest improve
ments and new enterprises if the
suggestions are never acted upon?
One man cannot boom a town. 1t
requires the concerted actions of
the citizens. When one man shout
ders town and attempts to carry
it, there are always lot of cranky
kickers ready to jump on top of
the load. Unity of action is what
knocks.

A Growing Ell.

One of the many growing evils
of this country today i the city
mail order store. In BUR town,
where we have the best of stores,
the most honorable merchants, aud
whore goods are sold at margin
so small as to afford respectable
living to our business men. thous-
ands of dollars are annually sent
to the mail order honses of our
great cities. Farmers expect our
merchants to pay them a fancy
price for butter, eggs aid poultry,
for their pumpkins. potatoes, to-
matoes, beans and apples, and
then they take the money received
from our home merchant and send
it to the mail order honse in the
city. There is neiihr economy
or honor IN such manner of do
lug business Yen can write it
down in your hat that as q rule
the mail order house il sWindle.
Oar citizens who patronize them
should bs compelled o ship their
batter and eggs to them. There
is not business man Il our town
who will not duplicate their prices
for the same quality of goods, and
be who turns down bis home mer-
chants to patronize these fakirs
