DECATUR,s ORIGINAL REQUEST

A number of years ago, Decatur asked the government to build 1t postoffice commensurate with it's size and importance. The government, after rubbing it's chin and knitting it's brows, finally--after some months of deliberation-decided to grant the city 5 request.
 But when the public building bill reached the Senate, the government again hesitated. However. when an amendment offered by Senator Johnston was adopted the government signed the bill.
 But that amendment proved a bone of contention. For it provided that the site selected for the postoffice should be as nearly equi-distant between the two cities as human ingenuity could nrOYide

1N ECATUR's government building II U is in course of construction. T. S NJ Jones, prominent cotton mer- chant of that city, brought the good news to Birmingham yesterday.
 And thus ends long, long story in volving bitter controversies between Decatur and its sister city, Albany-a story which drew out it's weary length in oft-repeated changes between the Alabama cities and Washington.
 And now it is said that as differ ences between the two cities played its part in their separation, the final set clement may, in the end, result in their reunion.

ALBANY MAKES PROTEST


 Soon thereafter the government sent an agent to Decatur to select the site. The citizens of Decatur had previously selected the site they thought the most serviceable. The agents views coincided with those of the citizens. And then Albany entered protest AL bany pointed out that the site was not equi distant between the two cities, and that, therefore, the provisions of the law had not been put into effect And the government sent another man to Decatur. This second man, after looking the field over, reached the con- clusion that while the site chosen was not equi- distant between the cities, it offered the finest opportunity for good service.
 Decatur. very much elated, ran to Washington urging the immediate be- ginning of construction. For Decatur was fearful that Albany might hurl another monkeywrench into the works. But arriving in Washington. Decatur found the people so greatly engrossed in the European war that no one would pay attention to it's re- quests.
 Secretary McAdoo issued his famous order shutting off all construction on the part of the government. Decatur appealed to the Secretary direct. But the Secretary no more careful in selecting his language han Uncle" Joe Cannon, exclaimed:
 "GentIemen, all I'm interested in now

 HOPE WITH WARS END
 We'll, to all practical purposes tn e'1 war came to an end last November. Inn mediately thereafter, Decatur came to Washington again pressing it's suit. De- catur wanted that building, and was determined that no lack of effort should contribute to its disappointment.
 But the way was not clear. The com mittee returned home believing every thing all right. It no sooner landed in it's own backyard. however, before the old trouble broke loose' again. AL bany had followed Decatur to Wash ington. and had renewed its former plaint that the provision of the law had not been carried out-that the letter and spirit of the law were about to be violated.
 Albany made out a good case ap- parently. for the postoffice department ordered another inspection of the De-
