Politicians AU Here
 to Honor the Veterans
Discussion Politics Was Only Secondary But It Was Whls- pered That State Campaign Is About to Open in Earn
 est Now That Birmingham Campaign Is Over

Doty, editor of the Tuscaloosa News, one of his enthusiastic supporters; John II. Wallace, Jr, state commissioner Of fish and game an announced candidate for governor: Thomas L. Bulger of Dadeville, member of the state senate and an announced candidate for lieutenant gov- ernor, and William B. Bankhead, repre- sentative in Congress of the Tenth Ala bama district, with Mrs. Bankhead.
 Each of those office holders and can didates for office throughout the day was surrounded by his friends and ad- mirers and but for the fact that tho occasion was nonpolitical, 1t is regarded as probable that they would have dis cussed politics. However, the gathering of the politicians. along with old Con- federate soldiers and thousands of state Fair attendants, was significant. it IS whispered.
 It is said that the state campaign the Birmingham municipal campaign having to all practical purposes been concluded, is about to begin. It wasf apparent last night that the pot will soon be boil ing"

JIM BROWN GIVEN
 A LIFE SENTENCE Capital Cases Are On Trial In Criminal Division
 of Court

Judge W. F. Forts division of the criminal court was occupied all of yes- terday in the trial of Lawton Powell, charged with stabbing to death Kidd Easy. The plea made by Powell is self defense, claiming that there had been hard feelings current between them for sometime and that Kidd Easy had an open knife drawn on him at the time of the killing. The jury will probably render a verdict sometime today. Jim Brown, alias Charities Thomas, was found guilty of the murder of Charles Town send and given a life sentence.
 Judge H. P. Heflin's division of the court was, at late hour last night, still engaged with the case of W. c. Aisa- brook, white, who Is charged with the murder of a man named Halcomb. The case is being argued before the jury and it is probable that verdict will be reached early this morning.

FERTILIZER SALES
 FORCES TO CONVENE
200 to 300 From Alabama and Mis- sissippi Are Coming For
 the Meeting

Two or three hundred statesmen and ex- ecutives of the fertilizer industry in Ala bama and Mississippi will convene in Bir- mingham October IS and 1s to hear lec- lures from experts on salesmanship, scientific agriculture, manufacturing, and crediting. It is to be in the nature of a school of efficiency which is being put on under the auspices of the Southern Fertilizer association through its soil inn provement committee. Meetings of this sort are also to be held at Norfolk, Charleston, Savannah and New Orleans.
 The meeting here is designed especially to reach the salesmen of Alabama and Mississippi. While the meetings are held under the auspices of the Southern Fer tilizer association, all manufacturers who are not members of the association and all mixers and acidulators have been in vited to share the benefits of these lee tures It is anticipated that there will be very large representation of all the salesmen of the south at these meetings and as result the fertilizer industry is expecting to carry on a much more successful business.
 Not only is there to be a lecture on ex- pert salesmanship from one of the lead ing authorities of the country, but there are to be lectures on modern scientific agriculture as 1t relates to plant feeding from authorities who have been identified with experiment stations and agricultural colleges of the south, Besides, there are to be representatives of the manufactur- ing end of the business who will tell how fertilizers are made and one from the office side of the business who will tell how to obtain good credits and make successful collections.

MUSICIANS
 ARE GIVEN LUNCHEON
Civic Association Is Host to Bands men From Camp Mcclellan Who
 Played In the Parade

One of the many big "hits" of the Confederate reunion which was scored by the Civic association yesterday was the special luncheon atop the Jeffer- son County bank building. given in honor of the 150 military bandsmen from Camp Mcclellan. who took part in the parade. At this luncheon pr. II. A. Elkourie, general chairman. and Secretary Harold welcomed the soi- dier boys hailing from New Jersey. Maryland and Virginia. and in the welcome they were eloquently joined by J. B. Gibson. John F. Shelby of the executive committee and Rev. Frank Willis Barnett.
 In the Civic association lounge rooms extra committees were busy giv- ing the soldiers the glad hand, show ing them the magnificent view of the city from the tallest building in the city and telling them to make a habit of visiting Birmingham.
 1T was impressed with the gracious conduct of all the Birmingham public toward the visiting soldier-musicians." said Secretary c. l.. Harold of the Civic association yesterday. 'Immedi- ately after the parade the soldiers marched under orders. Captain Rey- holds commanding. to the Jefferson County bank building. There many regular and other civilian passengers were waiting to board the elevators But instead of congesting and ham pering the movement of the soldiers up the elevators to the Civic associa- tion they generously yielded the ele- vator space So that for fully 10 min- utes the elevators were busted exclu- sively with hauling upward soldier musicians and the 150 instruments And then when the efficient manage ment with the swift waiting service had seated the band boys for the luncheon. the regular patrons Of tho cafe good naturedly stood in the cor riders and waited patiently for q chance to ait down for eats.

Ruth Law smashed to smither-
 eens her previous records of
 looping the loop yesterday when
 she Tipped over in her machine
 1G times, while making her flight
 at the fairgrounds. Her higest rec
 on all previous flights was 13
 times, yesterdays record going
 the former three better.
 Dan W. Iseminger will have to not only be able to pour the gas to the Stutz Bear Coat roadster that he will drive this afternoon, as well as keep clear of the fences, but he will have to be staked to well-sized nerve to beat out Ruth Law as she flies over his head with that bois- the air while he stays on the ground as much as possible in his automobile.
 This is really one of the great features of the big Alabama State Fair that is drawing the thousands to the grounds and increasing the patronage each day. Miss Law will race the automobile, run ming just as close to the ground as pos sible, not to clip off fall millinery or heads. She says she will beat Iseminger, focal motor racer, but Iseminger says that she won't have as easy pickings as she would have the public believe. There is a $250 purse and a loving cup at stake in this race.
 CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS
 And, too, today is Civic association day, Chamber of Commerce day and Tusca- loosa and Jasper day. That will mean that the crowd will be greatly augmented from out of town, as we'll as by the two big civic organizations that can put across 75Oo people if they get behind their crowds. This they are understood to have done yesterday and that every member has been advised that today is their very own day.
 Ruth Law continues to captiyate the crowds with her daring and pilfering or the atmosphere as mode Of transpor- tation. She looped the loop so many times yesterday that it was hard to Keep track of the number of somersaults, but it is said that she made 15. The altitude she took yesterday was a great deal higher than on any previous flights to the fair. She is undoubtedly great draw ing card, as the crowd won't break away until she has lanueu saleiy anu 'nS' have cheered her.
 FREE ACTS ATTRACTIVE
 There is no getting around the fact that Jim Dent has a great show at the fair ground, and Buster Brown admits 1t. from the midway to the free acts, through and through. and from the swine pens to the ladies fancy needle work showings The crowds are strong for the free acts, it being plain that they are the greatest hits ever shown in the fair- ground hippodrome.
 The awards were made yesterday on swine beef cattle, agricultural and wom- ans departments. These awaros VIII oe published together later.

WATER At BEACH
IS TAKEN DAILY

In order that bathers may know the
temperature Of the water before they
take their daily dip and also to obtain
scientific data, the weather bureau,
through the kindness Of Valentino Mo-
roni, manager Of the Moana Hotel, has
established there a water recording
station. The temperature of the wa
ter will be taken at a. m. and D.
m. daily
While there have been tests taken
all this week, the station was official
ly opened yesterday. When the tenn
perature was taken last Monday after.
noon it was found, much to the sur
prise Of everyone, that the water was
SO degrees. Subsequent trials have
shown that the water remains very
close to 80 degrees which is much
higher than was anticipated even by
the weather bureau officials.
A. NJ. Hamrick, meterologist, has
also established a wind recording in
8trument at the office of the Hawl
Mill and Plantation Company on Ha-
Waii similar to the one at Haiku, Maui.
1t is expected that much valuable in
formation will be obtained from the
stations in regard to the effects Of the
trade winds on crop development.
