 Ed S. Moore presided over the meeting in the absence of Capt Frank $. White, who was called out of the city for a few days. and he made an interesting talk
 William R. Hillard spoke. He stated that he had 1000 shares of stock in cor poration that was paying 10 per cent per annum which he was going to transfer to Howard college with the condition that he redeem them by his own efforts. At the conclusion of his talk, he was given much applause as well as several col lege yells
 Although the campaign is beginning it's second week, the workers seem to have taken on new life and a number of the committee did not need any new re- cruits.
 Dr. William H. Smith of the campaign committee stated that letters and ad- vices which he was receiving showed that tho eyes of the entire state were fast ened on this campaign. and the belief is expressed that Birmingham will give the amount asked, as it is a very small sum indeed compared with what she has done with liberty bonds, Young Mems Christian association and Red Cross campaigns. These people expressed the belief that this sum will absolutely assure the perpetuity of Howard col lege, which has been in existence for so many years and is recognized as one of the historic institutions of the state.

 Commenting on this. Crawford John- son, the state director, said:
 These applications are an index of tho widespread interest in the cam paign in Alabama. Our county direct effcrts are telling.
 By the way, Hon. John A. Rogers, director of Sumter. furnishes one of the most interesting stories which Wa have received so far. At Gainesville there is a Presbyterian church which was founded by the original New Eng land settlers of the community and Is one of the historic structures of tho state. The treasurer, Hon. Charles of the church in liberty bonds and nis action was so cordially approved he placed $20650 more of the churchs money in baby bonds,' and filed them in the strong box with their big brothers,' the liberty bonds. This is interesting not only as showing the patriotism of the people of old sum ter but as Suggestion which other churches might profitably adopt.

JOHN CROUCH BURIED AT ANNIVERSARY OF CIVIC ASSOCIATION Birthday of Civic Body Gel ebrated in Due Form
 Last Night FINE PROGRAMME
 IS MUCH ENJOYED Private Ruggles and Miss Cunning ham Score Hit With Duet--About
 Five Hundred Guests
 Present

 set at the beginning vr the race, the Civic association starts out today on her second lap.
 The celebration of the first birthday oi the association passed last night at the rooms with joy the one thought A smile was the only ticke' necessary to get in on all the high time and once, in the sky was the limit Un' one of the greatest features of the gathering was the burial Of Johf Crouch, who has been gradually crushed to death since the inception of the civic body The oration over his dead pod5 of this undesirable was delivered by pr Thomas P. Byrnes. In it he said among other things:
 BURIAL OF JOHN CROUCH
 "GentIemen; We are met here tonight to perform very satis- factory service and that is to bury, and to forever forget, Bir- mingham's most undesirable citi- zen, namely 'Old Man John Crouch, Crouch the trouble maker, Crouch, the disturber of our cities, peace, harmony and prosperity.
 John Crouch, I am sorry to say was n hard case, he caused us lots of trouble, and in days gone by he has done our fair city an in- mense amount of damage.
 "John Crouch, like most crooks and bad citizens, had in his day many names and aliases. He was sometimes known as Tom Knock CT, as George Gloom, as Bill Dis sension, as Pat Stacker. as Joe Dontdoit, and as the great Hon. RuIe-Or-ruin.
 "His religion and philosophy was don't help anybody if you can avoid It, his Golden Rule was, Do the other fellow and do him frst,' his civic service never got my farther than to Let George do it.
 "Grouch's pet slogans were, 1t can't be done,' 'This town is rot ten.' What is the matter with Birminghamr sOh. what's the use!'
 sNow my friends I know it is wise rule to say nothing but good of the dead, but from what I know and saw of John Crouch, I am compelled to say that cam not say anything good of him, and his life and character.
 'Perhaps like the old landIady who said of her reprobate bOarder with very few virtures, she said when he died, well he had a good appetite anyway
 .SO I can sny of old John Crouch, is that he had too good health, and too strong cOnstitu- tiOn for one of his kind, for it would have been better for our city if he had died long ago. Hut of late there has been something in the atmosphere of Birming ham that was poison to his constitu- tiOn. The new Booster Spirit was more than he could stand. the new spirit of harmony and c0-op- cration melted him away.
 "His old friends deserted him, so late Saturday when he heard of the birthday party of the Civic association he took one gasp md died.
 "so let us gladly bury him and forget him."
