WORKING WITH OTHERS

Mobile believes that her deyelopment as seaport town has merely started She is heartily in sympathy with the work of the American congress and looks for a big trade with Central and South America after inc var. In this scheme of things the open ing of the Warrior will play a big part and this should make a direct appeal to industrial Birmingham and Anniston, as well as other places in the Birmingha m district. Walter Bellingrath, a former Anniston man, who is now president of the Mobile Chamber of Commerce. and under whose administration this re- naissance has taken place in Mobile waxes eloquent when he pictures the fu- ture of the city, and F. | Thompson pu uhGsher of the Register. who has been preaching the cause of .Alabama's Only Seaport so necessarily for the last seven years. is now wearing the contented smile of a man who is able to say, I told you so.'
 Nor do the people of Mobile put the business issue first in the gubernatorial race alone when the politicians come among them, for the development of the states seaport is made paramount in the race for Congress that is being waged by Representative Gray. Harry Hartwell. John H. McDuffis and R. P Roach. They are going to vote for the man who prom ises most for their material and moral development.

VISITS CITY WITH KILBY

lhe foregoing impressions were driven home to me by the Mobile city buildings last week, while l was in the Gulf City With Lieutenant Governor Kilby in the interest of his campaign for the office of chief executive. and, incidentally, the Anniston candidate claims a small meas ure of credit for this big industrial re- Juvenation in Mobile, for it primarily results from the ceration of the Mobile harbor commission by the last legislature or Alabama, in which he had a part.
 When George Gordon Crawford was placed on this commission there was welded the link that drew industrial Birmingham to commercial Mobile. and that link was so masnetized thai if attracted the Gary interests from the industrial east.
 kilby reached Mobile at an oppor- tune time As large manufacturer whose products are being shipped to central and South America through the port of Mobile, he was able to talk shon and prospective legislation to the peon.a down there that attracted the favorable attention of the thoughtful citizens. and was pleasantly surprised at the strcngth he has developed in that city. which has been credited with being hos tile to ary man who has espoused the cause of prohibition. His strength. how ever, is indicative of the change of sen timent, of the enthroning of Neptune and Vulcan, where John Barleycorn once hald undiSputed sway

If you happen to be in the neigh borhood pasture tomorrow afternoon YOU will more than likely hear the fla miliar crack of ash against horsehide, for the first contingent of Baronial forces will gambol on the green in their initial spring workout.
 Billy Southworth. Cecil Coombs. Ray Jansen, Homer Haworth, Danny Clark, Whitey Glazner, J. A. Henderson, Fred Bowman, and Moley himself are all ready in the city. Patterson is ex- pected today and the rest of the bunch about the middle of the week. The official date for reporting has been set at March 20, so Moley doesn't expect many of the hands" to blow in till then.
 The season opens just four weeks from Thursday, which will allow plenty of time in-which to condition the men. A light practice game will be pulled off on the 27th of this month with Howard college On the 3oth Moley will take the boys down to Tuscaloosa No, you are mistaken, they are going to play the university.
 The only game of any consequence so far is the Camp Mcclellan con- test, which comes off on Apr1 6. Here is the lineup of the soldier boys:
 Harmon, shortstop; McCarty, first base; Middleton, right field: Mitchell, center field; hvell, pitcher; Welling, second base; Waters, third base; Clay ton, left field; Burdette, catcher.

blc has found herself, regardless of the War.
 "The United States Steel corporation must be given large credit for the rev. olutionizing of Mobile Every alert man and woman in the city was electrified when it became known that 13,000 acres of land had been purchased by this great concern on the Chickasabogue creek, in the northern outskirts of the city, for the building of one of the largest shipbuild- ing plants in the country. This is more territory than is embraced in the city of Mobile and already the magic city of Chickasaw is assuming shape.
 THE IMMENSITY OF PROFIT
 "The immensity of this project is stag gering to the imagination. Already thousands of acres of land have been cleared, railway and street car tracks have been laid; scores of model cottages for negroes built on the east side of town, with many others of a larger land more substantial structure for whites on the west. Several thousand dollars has been appropriated for the Identification of the landscape, and the system that has made the Steel corpor- |ation the great institution that it is IS seen everywhere, even in the negro es that go about the grounds and pick up |every little scrap of paper that is blown from the offices. There is the hum of activity everywhere but the surface has hardly been scratched as yet, although three big buildings almost block long are crowded with draftsmen, stenogra- phers, engineers and other clerical forces who are working night and day to rush the gigantic project to completion. Al- ready city of 25,000 population seems assured, and the people of Mobile be- lieve that Chickasaw will eventually be- come second Gary, Ind, as well as one of the nations foremost shipbuilding ,centers And the beauty of this project is that it is permanent, not being di- rectly dependent on the war.
 Mobile will make more money out of this one big industry in month than she ever has attracted to the city in a |year by reason of her liquor interests, and the thinking people know 1t. Fur thermore, 1t is probable that she would not have got it had the saloons not been outlawed, for Judge E. H. Gary is a stanch prohibitionist, and one of the forces behind the constitutional amend ment.
 The average man is satisfied to let booze go. however, as long as big indus trial pay rolls remain in circulation, and the pay rolls are getting bigger every week. Not only this, Mobile is getting money from abroad I saw one draft in a local bank from the Italian government for SlO0,OO0. and I am told this is a small sample of deposits that are constantly being made there by agents of Euro pean, South and Central American na- tons. The banks as a consequence have more money than they know what to do with
