The legislature. during it's session at Huntsville. enacted many salutary laws and judiciously arranged the distriess. Six new counties were esta ablished and were added to those already organized as follows: Jeffer- son. Greene. Perry. Henry. Wilcox and Butler.
 Never before or since has the popu- lation of any state increased as rapidly as that of Alabama from 1920 to 1880. Thousands of eager purchasers flock ed from far and near into Alabama. After all these years the one thing that bothers the natives of Imperial Jeffer- son is whether or not Birmingham, the metropolis of the south. will outgrow it's territory.
 The first formal celebration of Ala bama day was observed in Birmingham under the auspices of the depa rtment of history of the Woman's club, then in the zenith of it's glory. Mrs Idyl King Sorsby was director of this de- partment and also vice president of the historical society.

 And on those old battlefeds, how many times as a child have I stopped for those rusty canteens whose contents had revived weary or a dying soldier; how often have I played around those grass grown trenches and batteries, and rested on those rudely constructed benches under the pines And how my nervous little heart thrilled and quivered as 1 was shown the giant live oak, with it's hoary cobwebs of gray moss, that still stood sentinel over the spot where La Fitte and his pirates sunk the great chest of gold, or treasure, so long ago."

Lcng years ago a little golden haired girl whispered, This is Alabamas birth day, and she must have a cake and a party The little girl lived on the beautiful Bayou Minette, a few miles east of historic Blakely, in Baldwin county.
 She often speaks of that ''old home, and the beautiful gate arbor, fragrant with honeysuckle and multi-flora roses in their blushing lovelness-like bevy of timid children, each trying to hide her face behind that of companion"
 She was a quaint, thoughtful child. with a passion for history, especially Alabama history She never tired of the tales of DeSoto and Tuscaloosa, or the local Apache chief, Tushtigo. It was orce her pleasure to visit the burial mounds at Cedar Point, where the carved Indian head of Tashtiso had been found about 1898. In later life she fondly dwelt upon those early memories of Baldwin, and of this Cedar Point she wrote:
 Ut was lonely spot; the waves throbbed against the deserted shore; the silver tipped gulls skinned through the balny air: the forest birds, true to the memory of the primitive owners of the sacred ground, trilled plaintive notes as if grieving for the untimely fate of the forgotten braves, and the golden beds of the jessamine, swaying gently to and fro, seemed breathing requiem music To me- Lake George looked less beautiful than did our Bayou Minette that morn ing.

 When she advanced her idea about this matter on all sides she was met with the query. Who ever heard of such thing" Nevertheless, she con- tinued her preparation of patriotic. vocal and instrumental musfc by school children, appropriate decorations and the great cake with it's many candles. This first formal celebration was dis tinct success. Alabama's birthday was recognized and honored in 1897 and 1898, and formal celebrations have been held regularly every anniversary since.
 The fourteenth of December is also the anniversary of the day George Washington breathed his last, and each Alabama day his memory is honored by a special number on the programme arranged for the occasion to be used in the schools and by other organiza- ticns. The first public or formal cele- bration of Alabama day took place on December IA, 1899. the centenary of Washington's death.
 Alabama centennial birthday pro- grammes have been prepared by the centennial comm ssion in Montgomery for use in the celebrations held throughout the state on that day.
 The Alabama birthday centennial flag resembles the simple state flag enriched with the history of the state. The white star in the center is to rep resent Montgomery and the four crim- son stars on the white spaces of the field represent the former territorial and state seats of government.
