WANT GUARD COMPANY

Montgomery, November ESPECIALLY
Andalusia has resolved to have one
company of infantry and a troop OF
cavalry in the national guard. and q
keen rivalry has arisen between that
city and Flora1a as to which shall
first muster in it's infantry company.
Col William 2. Screws, inspector
Instructor of the national guard, re
turned this week from the southern
part of the state. where he went to
encourage organization of additional
units of the state military forces. He
reports encouraging progress in that
county, particularly, will be well rep
resented In the guard.
At Andalusia the Chamber OF Com
merce adopted resolutions declaring
that the state and national govern
ments have made suitable provisions
for a national guard; that Andalusia
has heretofore had infantry and ma
chine gun companies that reflected
credit upon that community and the
state. Therefore, it was resolved,
THAT there be a called meeting OF
the Chamber of Commerce to convene
at the courthouse on Friday, Novem-
Der Z, at s p. M, for the purpose OF
taking action for national guard or
ganization, and that every member OF
the chamber use his best efforts to bring
about a large attendance, and that
each of them come to the meeting
accompanied by at least one recruit for
the new guard organizations"
On November II. Arnstice Day, the
Andalusia Chamber of Commerce will

FULL AUTHORITY GIVEN

Montg Omery, NoNem Der 3.-(Spec1al. J
The new military law, adopted at the
last session of the legislature, in ac-
cordance with the state and federal
constitutions, gives the governor am
pie authority to call out all of the men
that may be required to preserve order
in this state.
Under the act the executive IS given
specific authority to call into the serv-
ice "unorganized militia" which Is de-
scribed in the bill as all able bodied
persons between the ages of is and
45 years, with certain exceptloning that
are mentioned therein. This can be done
at any time, prvided the organized
militia" which includes the national
guard, naval reserves and marine
corps, is not sufficiently strong to
meet the emergency.
1t is probable that in event of sit
uation which would require greater mil
itary force than is now embraced in
the organized militia, the deficiency
would be made up first with volunteers
and later by the selective draft.

RECORD SALE: QF
AUTOMOBILE TIRES
Sundays AID Brings Deluge
of Orders to Cotton States
Tire and Rubber Co.

Possibly one of the largest sale of auto
one day was witnessed in Birmingham
yesterday at the Cotton States Tire and
Rubber companys place at I'LL Second
avenue, where they are conducting a
Dollar Sale" of tires and tubes From
the time the store opened yesterday
morning until late last night the entire
force was kept busy filling call orders
and scores of mail orders from out-oe-
town. This sale was announced through
a full page ad in Sundays Age-Herald
Despite the fact that several shipments
were received in anticipat ton of the un-
usual demand that would be made during
the sale last night found several sizes
sold completely out. 1t was announced
by Manager Smith, however, that if pos
sible these sizes would be replenished
before the end of the sale
1T is surprising to me- said John o.
PEBBLES sales manager, THE number of
out-of-town orders that are being re-
ceiyed on this sale, especially in view of
the fact that even those people right
here in town hardly believe that it
is true chat we are selling actual factory
fFrsts, carrying a regular guarantee at
two for the list price of one plus one
dollar Without doubt this is too big a
surprise for Birmingham. 1t is my pre-
diction that b. Saturday night we viii
not have tire or tube of any size in
the entire building.
y little confusion on the part of sew
eral out town customers was noticed
through the day, as through some mis-
take the address of the company was
given in Sundays ad as 111 Third avenue
instead of Second avenue where the store
is located--just opposite the Jefferson
theatre

Over Private Wires
w. E. Campbell & Co.'s Cotton Letter

W. E. Campbell & Co.'S Cotton Letter
With a better Liverpool than due,
our markets opened much higher, this
morning and continued firm, making
new highs for all options.
The coal strike did not give the bulls
any concern, on the other hand, the
news from the longshoremen was of
more assuring character. both in New
York and New Orleans.
The news from the spot centers
throughout the belt were again of
a very bullish nature, and we find
spots in active demand from both sides
of the river
New Orleans spots were marked so
points advance placing middling at
39.50c with sales of 1857.
The writer just returned from New
Orleans, and he found the spot in
terests very bullish and heard of sew
eral large wagers that December OPP
lions would go as high as AZ cents in
New Orleans.
Strange to say, the market seems not
to be heavily long. and as long as
this kind of condition exists and with
contracts selling so much under spots,
there seems to be only one thing to
do, and that is to buy cotton.-W. E.

MUSGROVE FORCES
IN EAST ALABAMA
Ten Automobiles of Walker
County Men Pass Through
Birmingham

me Musgrovs volunteers continue
their activity.
Undaunted by the public interest in
the peace treaty, the league of nations
and the coal strike, they continue their
tour OF Alabama, county by county,
beat by beat and house to house.
Ten automobiles fun of Jasper and
Walker county citizens passed through
Birmingham yesterday afternoon on
their way into east Alabama. They go
to spread the uews and to disseminate
information concerning the candidacy
of L. b. Musgrove of Jasper for the
United States Senate in opposition to
Senator Underwood and Judge S. d.
Weakley.
No less than Is walker county eth
zens were here yesterday and all OF
them expressed the greatest enthusiasm
over the prospects of their candidates
success. While no predictions as to
counties at this time. contending that
Ii was too early to deal in such specific
claims, all agreed that the outlook for
Mr.. Musgrove was most favorable and
that the news from over the state was
even more encouraging than they had
anticipated.
During the past month automobiles
filled with the men from Walker have
been touring the several counties of the
state and distributing the campaign
books and other literature Of the Mus
grove forces It was announced here
last night that this work is to be con-
tinued until every beat in the state has
been covered and until almost everg
voter has been personally acquainted
with the claims Of the Jasper candi'
date
Jasper is 9 unit for MFR. Musgrove in
his race for the Senate and walker
county is nearly the same" said Judge
S. Lacy, who was with the crowd Ieav-
ing for tour of east Alabama. The
unanimity with which the candidacy Of
Mr.. Musgrove has been acclaimed by his
home people is compliment which
speaks loudly of his merit and his pub
>ljc-spirited services to the people.
\ I'VE have been greatly encouraged b.
the reception which his candidacy has
received throughout the state and we
expect to continue our activity until
the primary in May. The platform of
Mr.. Musgrove is meeting with com
mendation throughout the state and the
record which Mr.. Musgrove has made
in public affairs in Alabama is bring
ing him many warm supporters

S. R. Stewart & Co.'S Letter

New Orleans, November .S.-There
was a good weather map this morning,
although heavy rains were general on
Saturday. The outlook is for partly
cloudy and warmer conditions on
Thursday, to be followed in day or
two by another unfavorable change to
rainy, cold weather.
The market here was a one-sided af-
fair and surrounding adverse conditions
were not considered; actual cotton facts
dominating the trading throughout the
session. There was encouraging news
that the dock workers strike was
nearing a settlement. Should this
come about early, it would have a
bearish effect upon the English mar
kets. On this side the demand for cot
ton is good and prices continue to ad-
vance.
Spots are so points up; middling
80 soc; sales. $3.50 bales.
Other port and interior spot mari
kets are steady, so to 100 points up;
Galveston paid ALSO cents for $500
bales Other Texas points are near the
for the better grades with limited Of
ferings. A private estimate issued to-
day placed the probable yield at $3.50,
900 bales, which is considerably under
the general expectation of 10. 900, 900 to
1025e000 bales. The demand for cot
ton goods continues undated. with
good cotton limited and spinners must
soon turn to the lower grade. Higher
prices seem inevitable.-Johns F. Clark

Denies Prohibition
Cause of Increased
Radicalism i'm q. S.

New York, November 3.-Denial that
prohibition is largely responsible for in
crease of radicalsm in this country was
made tonight by William Fl. Anderson.
state superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League for New York. Replying to
charges made by the association opposed
to national prohibition, he said;
ut is probably true that the real lead
ers in crime, crookedness and riot are
total abstainers, but such leaders are OPP
posed to prohibition because it cuts off
the available raw material for use in the
furtherance of their plots. There have
been fewer labor disturbances in prohi
bition states than in wet states. The
main centers of anarchistic activity have
been in wet centers.'
