GOLD STUDEbAKER ON EXHIBITION HERE Large Crowds View Beauti- full Car at Local Show
 Rooms

Crowds all day yesterday swarmed into the new home of the R. D. Maxwell Au- tomobile company, dealers in Stakeholder cars, to see the $30,0OO Stakeholder Gold Baby" of the Stakeholder corporation, which was sent to Birmingham for exhl- bition from Syracuse, N. Y.
 Jack Huge from the Studebaker fac tory, is in Birmingham in charge of this wonderful car, which is solid gold, cost ing the company $30,O00 to manufacture it.. An offer of $40 600 has been refused for the car from Boston capitalist. The mechanism, and all other parts that make up the usual car, are in tact, and this car runs just the same as any other au- tomobile, only better, and is thing of beauty beyond description. Admirers by the hundred viewed the car yesterday, and they were not only charmed with the magnifcence of this automobile won der, that attracted such universal atten- ton at the New York Automobile show in Madison Square Garden, but were fair ly astonished that such a car could be made, and perfectly, too, as though made of steel.
 The car will be on exhibition here for the rest of the week at the R. D. Max well Co.'S place, Twenty third street and First avenue, and MT. Maxwell is very anxious to have everyone who appreciates beauty, novelty and mechanism com- bined, come and inspect the celebrated ''gold car" put up by the Studebaker cor poration.

Maj. Carl H. Seals of the Second Alabama infantry has written a state ment correcting some misleading as- sertions by the Montgomery Adver- tiser yesterday morning. The Adver- editorial page:
 Birmingham, which let two of it's own batteries of the Alabama Nation al Guard. after six months service for the country on the border, march down the streets of the city on it's re- turn without welcoming hand and without the slightest notice, is now coquetting and flirting with certain companies of the Second Alabama in fantry in the vain hope that they can continue to stay and draw their pay checks in Birmingham Bless Birming- hams optuse head. Does it not know that the Second is a Montgomery reg iment, with one company out of F from Birmingham and does it not know that nearly 80 per cent of the members of the Alabama National Guard came from points south of Bir- mingham?"

SUBSCRIBERS URGED ID PAY THE SECOND BOND INSTALLMENT
Garber Says Some of the Liberty Bond Sub scribers Have Been
 Negligent

Al c. Garber, secretary of the Bir- mingham liberty loan committee, yes terday issued a statement urging all those who had not already done so to pay the second installment on the bonds purchased
 "The second installment on liberty bonds amounts to IS per cent and was due June 2S." said MT. Garber T find that a few subscribers to the loan have been negligent in making the second payment upon the date pre- scribed.
 When citizens subscribed to the liberty loan they assumed a certain definite obligation to meet the pay ments as they fall due and the com mittee hopes that this obligation will be met in every case in the same spirit in which the original subscrip- ton was made.
 The importance of the liberty loan was impressed upon everyone during the campaign and it is very important at this time that the payments be met promptly as they fall due"
