UNUSUAL RECORD BY GREENE COUNTY IN LIBERTY LOAN WORK
Wardlaw Gives Out Data to Show the Remarkable Achievement of Ala
 bama County

Chairman W. C. Wardlaw of the Sixtn district Liberty Loan executive commit tee has called The Age-Herald's atten- tion to the remarkable record made by Greene county in the recent loan. lie writes:
 T herewith enclose data on Liberty Loan results in Greene county. The pur- pose of the government was to distrio- ute bonds as much as possible among the masses of the people.
 The enclosed data will show that every beat in Greene county subscribed for considerably more than was allotted by the county chairman under the direc- tion of the government representative, thus relieving the banks of carrying the greater portion of the allotment, as was the case in the previous loans. The suc- cess of the campaign in Greene county Vas so marked that I think it affords a good example to be followed. The out standing features in this county were the following:
 '.The total amount subscribed was sliS,- 100. There were only two subscriptions amounting to as much as s5000; only one man in the entire county solicited by the committee refused to subscribe. The county committed, with Judge B. B. Barnes as chairman. had the hearty CO operation of the beat chairman.
 II hope you will give space in your paper for this as an example of perfect organization and 200 per cent results.
 The official data on Greene county's s recordo shows the following:
 Greene county, Alabama. population l6,- 000 of which $500 are wwhite.
 Allotment, $53, 450 B. B. Barnes, county chairman.

bishop in our church adopted this
 method of letting the members of the
 conference know it. instead of having a
 personal interview with every one Of
 them telling them over and over what
 great bishop he would make. There are
 i6 men named for the bishopric and sup
 pose each of them had 10 men working
 for them. as is the old hidebound custom,
 as they are doing now, you can easily
 see what job it would be with 300 dele
 gates to see personally and interview. My way is a short cut. If I am a sinner, think how many others sinners they are.
 for the whole crowd is doing what I am. only in a private way. George stuart didn't know a thing about this, and has got nothing to do with it. He is the man we need for bishop, and l hope he gets elected

Knickerbocker landed in the middle of the Methodist conference like a bomb shell, and calmly all delegates are await ing. watching, and wondering what is go- ing to happen when it explodes for there is absolutely no doubt but what there is going to be some voting done on George Stauart's S name for the hishopric. The campaign is unique, and made friends immediately upon its appearance, and seems to have been gaining friends daily. it is understood from leading Methodist who has just returned from the | conference.
 1 Birmingham Methodists, Baptsts, Pres | byterians, or any creed you could name, are looking upon the probability of los- | ing Dr. Stuart with something akin | to alarm, and while every member of pr. Stuart's church would be glad to see him elevated to the bishopric. they can't ex- actly see how they could get along with l out him.

New City Garage Is
 Under Construction

Masons and carpenters are busy with theaconstruction of the new city garage which is being built between the offices of the police department and the city jail. Recommendation was made by the state inspector of jails that the old gar age be abolished in order that more nat ural light might be given the prisoners.
 The new structure will have many ad- vantages over the old one, in that it is within six or eight feet of the jail en- trance; it will be larger. better accommo- dations are provided for the work on cars and it will be under watch of the war den at all times.

A crowd of pedestrians yesterday watched one of the many hundreds of boys who ride wheels, try to cross 20th Street at Second Avenue ahead of a southbound High lands car.

Dr. knickerbocker wants to see Dr. Stuart made bishop, and of his own initiative, he upset all traditions of the church by circulating a card among the delegates of the conference urging a man for the bishopric whom he believed had the necessary quali- fications, and the record behind him to make him eligible and deserving of the honor and promotion.
 The card which Dr. Knickerbocker circulated. he stated, was to save the time of getting in personal touch with every one of the 300 delegates of the conference. and to come right out in the open and work for his choice. The card reads as follows:
 Are you looking for an outsta nd- ing man for bishop? Then study these questions, and if you can answer them with the name of one man, why wouldn't he make a great bishop?
 "1 Who has won more souls for Christ than any other man in south ern Methodism?
 "2. Who has raised more money For all of the great causes of the church, than any other man in the church?
 "3 Who is the greatest platform man in the south?
 "A Who has done more for proht- bition and for moral reform than any man amongst us?
 "5 Who is now the greatest pas tor of one of the greatest churches?
 If the man whose name answers all these five questions has also great tender, benevolent. unselfish, demo- cratic heart. he must be whale. Amen"
 Dr. Knickerbocker followed this card with this statement:

John Haywood

If a vehicle h a d knocked him down, it would have been almost impos sible for some other following vehicle not to have run over him, as traffic was very congested.
 If you are an employer who have boys that use wheels in your business daily, won't you in- struct them to exercise a little more care?
 And, you might in struct them, too, to ob- serve the traffic rules which apply to them as well as to the other ve- nicles.
