agreement has occurred, not one single
misunderstanding or failure to cooperate
absolutely. in perfect unity. Then the
convention reflected the same splendid
spirit. There We're no contentious, every
one was impressed with the gravity OF
great national affairs and seemed to
feel desire to carry forward our work
with harmony of purpose.

every one who has ever been to Talladega
knows it is one OF the most beautiful
towns in Alabama. It's homes are very
handsome, it's women beautiful and it's
men most gallant, consequently it Is
needless to add that our entertainments
was royal, and that we felt very much
inclined to accept the invitation extended
to us officially the first evening by Col
onel Plowman, that we remain for the
entire period of the war. The only draw
back to this would have been that we
might have felt less inclined to work
for the end of the war;

you know when my own boy volunteered

for a reality until I asked him, Who

This is the part Of we mothers who
have boys at the front. 1t may be
hard; it is hard; but we can do it," Mrs
Rountree said. when my boy went to
France it never occurred to me that the
world would ever, could ever, turn over
again. With my boy on one side and me
on the other, I knew it would be SO
evenly balanced that it would have to
stop. But it didn't, and he and 1, just
as others, must go on in the work before
us and do our part as well and as bravely
as we can. Our boys do not need US to
help at the front in actual fighting.

TALLADEGA EAGER
FOR FURNACE START
Chamber of Commerce Urges Grant
ing Of 5O00-Ton Export
License for Company

Tallaiega, May 7.-(Special )-On ac-
count of the refusal of the United States
government, as announced in the Iron
Age, to grant an export license to the
new blast furnace management, there
was special meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce of the city of Talladega, at
which after discussing the danger OF
this blast furnace and other industries
in connection with it and being put in
operation, the following resolution was
unanimously adopted:
Be it Resolved, That the honora Bile
war trade board of the United States Is
respectfully requested and petitioned to
grant the request made by Alexander Ii
son in regard to granting an export IL
cense for 5000 tons of foundry iron to
be produced at the furnace at Talladega
per month
BE it further Resolved, That our
United States senators, the Hons John
H. Bankhead and Oscar w. Underwood,
together with our representative at Con-
gress, Hon. Fred l.. Blackmon, and the
other members from this state, be anu
are hereby requested to go before said
war trade board and any other board or
authority of the United States and place
before them the conditions and circum-
stances which exist SO that this export
license will be granted and this city will
not be refused or deprived of this in
dustry, which would be Of great benefit
to the community
In regard to this resolution and the
condition existing with regard to the
blast furnace, j. K. Dixon of Talladega
made the following statement: 81 have
been familiar with the condition of this
property, which composes the Talladega
blast furnace, for many years, including
the ore properties and coal mines out OF
wrich they expect to get their coal to
make coke, and / know that it has al
ways been impossible to get local capt.
tai to operate these properties. American
and foreign capital have twice failed in
this undertaking, and it will be discour-
aging TO this community indeed If on
the third trial in this crucial time any
obstacle shall hamper the enterprise
when success is otherwise assured

NEWS OF SOCIETY AND
ACTIVITIES. OF WOMEN

IN RIENDS of Helen Smith Woodruff
n in Admission, her childhood home,
are ever interested in everything
concerning this famous author, says the
Admission Star. Her latest book has been
received here and is being read with
eager delight. In speaking of the I'm
prisoned Freeman, Books and Authors
a New York literary magazine says:
If you like to meander through
book, browse over it, take it up only
when insomnia threatens-if you like a
story without either action, plot or sus-
pended interest-we warn you not TO
commence The Imprisoned Freeman,
for once commenced you cannot lay 1t
down.
From its opening description of the
splendid Foung Wood God Dick Denni-
son, and ms beloved outdoor haunts the
story moves quickly. The reader is
taken through the sorrowful days follow
ing his mothers death, his fathers
harsh treatment of him, his escapades,
his marriage, and finally his experience
with the terrible and utterly unjust deal
ings of the law In spite of his faults
and Weaknesses our affection goes out
to this very human young man, whose
character is developed sympatheticaly,
the storys dramatic elimination is
reached VIC lay the book down with the
sense tnat We are richer for its perusal
"Courageously exposing the real signIti-
canoe of some of our laws which admit
of the perpctration of atrocities, this
virile American novel is the author
best WORK. But aside from this it's un-
DERIVING and deeper note, this human in
terest story possesses the charm, pathos,
delicious humoI and exquisite poetic I'M
agination which has characterized Mrs.
Woodruff's earlier work. No voter man
or woman, should fail to read it for its
serious side. No lover of thrilling novel
should fail to read it, because it is the
gladness and not the sadness of the OPP
timistic author which makes the book
so doubly worth while

COTTON IN NORTH CAROLINA

Mr.. Daniels newspaper at Raleigh gave
constant heed to the development of the
cotton manufacturing industry in North
Carolina and in South Carolina. This
made it evident that Mr.. Daniels him
self was interested not merely as a
news gatherer but as citizen, eager to
advance the material prosperity of the
south in the development of the cotton
manufacturing industry which bids fair
to exceed the industry of New England
and upper New York state, and may ulti-
mately surpass in the quantity of the
product although probably not in the
quality of the goods, the cotton cloths
which are manufactured in the English
Lancashire district.
A NONPARTISAN SPEECH
1t was splendid demonstration Of the
fact that the war and all the issues which
it involves have for the time over
Swallowed partisanship which was made
when Secretary Daniels paid a compli-
ment to former President William II.
Taft. The compliment was especially
timely because on the day when Secre-
tary Daniels uttered it announcement
came from Washington that the admin
istraton and congress will take the view
heretofore expressed by Mr.. Taft that
the United states should place an army
of 100000 men. abundantly equipped
and satisfactorily furnished With sup
plies in the field against Germany.
Secretary Daniels compliment was ut
tered with tact and with fine appreciation
OF sentiment of the great body of cotton
manufacturers of the south whom he was
addressing For when the band had fin
ished playing "Dixie," the Secretary said
that he had himself heard very dis
tnguished American who had proved
himself a great American in these days,
ex-President William H. Taft say that
Dixie is SO fine a tune that it did not be-
long to any section of the country, but
was a national air The cheers We're
overwhelming when this compliment was
spoken and the secretary stood there
smiling, rejoicing that these two thou
sand men who as a whole represented
the industrial life of the south received
these tactful and gracefully spoken
words with unbounded enthusiasm.
In this place it may be worth while to
report that the two men in President Will
sons Administration Eao now stand out
conspcuously in New York for competent
service for measuring up to the great
opportunities and responsibilities in
manner which has called forth the high
est praise. are Secretary McAdoo. who as
it happened was receiving tributes from
the citizens OF New York on the day
when Secretary Daniels was here, and
Secretary Daniels himself.

American submarines. For the AL
