THE MASONIC LODGE
SELLS TO Mr.. MACK COBB
May Occupy Second Floor Hereafter
AS Tenants Instead of Owners.

The Dawson lodge of Masons have
sold to Mr.. Mack Cobb the second
story of the building on north Main
street formerly owned and used by
them as lodge room, the considera-
ton being one thousand dollars. The
building was badly damaged by fire
recently, since which time the lodge
has, by special dispensation, been US
ing the rooms of the Woodmen of
the World. 1t is probable that up
on the repairing of the damaged
building the Masons will rent the
upper floor from Mr.. Cobb, thus
continuing the use of their same hall
as tenants rather than owners.

To Hold Court Next Week.

A petition is being circulated and
numerously signed asking Judge
Worrill not to hold court next week,
in order that work on the farms,
now badly needed, may not be inter
rupted. 1t seems to be the general
sentiment that court should not be
held if the weather is good.

 The constitution makers settled down to al four year term without aSy restrictions as to future terms. MT. Jefferson, notwithstanding his opposition to second term, did not hesitate to run for reelection.
 There has been no change in the constitution, but many statesmen have held that tradition has fixed two terms as the limit. The fact that no one aspiring to third term has been nominated by his party strengthens the limitation.
 A member of the present House has introduced a bill limiting the presi- dency to one term of four years. It will come to naught.
 A possible two terms has proved satisfactory.

Mechanics Will Erect
 Monument to Burnett

THE AGE-HERALD's Washing
 4 ton correspondent states that the Junior Order of American Me cbanics will erect a monument to the late Representative Burnett Tn Gads- der. The memorial will cost twenty thousand dollars. It is planned to raise the money by popular subscrip- tion among members of the order.
 There will be no difficulty in nlak- ing this laudable project a success. MT. Burnett specialized in immigra- tion and devoted many years of his active career in Congress to provid- ing laws for the protection of the American working man from uncon- troiled European immigration. He had the satisfaction of knowing be- fore he died that his views were ac- cepted throughout the country.
 Naturally, MT. Burnett was popu- lar with the Junior Order because o1 his efforts to regulate immigration but he was held in high esteem by all who knew him. He was one of the most conscientious meE who eyer rep resented an Alabama constituency ir Congress. His patriotism and zeal were great indeed, while his personal qualities were lovable.
 A twenty thousand dollar monu' went will be an ornament to Gadsder and it will honor a public servant who deserves to be held in remem- hrance

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 l7EiHE Birmingham Age-Herald, which
 is doing very intelligent and effec-
 tive work in advancing the cause of Senator Underwood's candidacy, allows an incomplete sentence to creep into an editorial in the campaign. The failure to qualify one sentence may give some people the impression that only recently has the active organization work start ed when as matter of fact for more than two months there has been a very vigorous and capable organization en- gagged in assembling the great popular strength which Senator Underwood is nv acknowledged by all to possess.
 Tn commenting on the remarkable showing of popular strength in North Alabama The Age-Herald says: MT. Underwoods friends are just now organ zing for him and they will work earnest for him up to the date of the primary
 If The Age-Herald had qualified it by saying: "Mr. Underwood's friend in Jeff ferson county" there would be no ob- jection to the sentence, but without quail iication it fails to pay official notice to the Underwood state campaign head quarters in Montgomery, which have been established at the Exchange Hotel for over two months, and which have accumulated 8 vast mass of information, and which are in daily touch with all the Alabama counties. From these headquar- ters there radiates an organization which has county manager in each of the sixty-seven counties In most of the counties there is actually a beat repre- sentative in nearly all the beats.

Busy Shopping Days
 As Easter Approaches

THE merchants of Birmingham
 H are always busy with the ad- vent of spring, and now that Easter is close at hand, there will be great shopping rush.
 The stocks are large and excep- tionally attractive. Even if prices are high, the styles must be followed, both for women and men. Women will always dress well and now in these days of big salaries and flush money the men must be good dress CTS, too.
 It is a noteworthy fact that the farmers of Alabama are wonderfully prosperous, and that means that out of-town visitors in large numbers will be seen in Birmingham during the next few days. They will come with full pocketbooks and will buy the best, regardless of cost.
 It is safe to assume that the pre- Easter season will be the best that Birmingham has ever known.

THE WASHERWOMAl'S SONG

Of the stories that are told
 Of the miracles of old;
 But I know that her belief Is the anodyne of grief,
 And will always be a friend
 That will keep her to the end. Just trifle lonesome, she Just as poor as poor could be;
 But her spirits always rose, Like the bubbles in the clothes. And, though widowed and alona, Cheered her with the monotone. Of a Saviour and a friend
 Who would keep her to the end. have seen her rub and scrub On the washboard in the tub,
 While the baby, sopped in suda, Rolled and tumbled in the dudA, Or was padding in the pools With old scissors stuck in spooIs. She still humming of her friend Who would keep her to the end Human hopes and human creedn Have their root in human needs: And I should not wish to strip From that washerwoman's lip Any song that she can sing, Any hope that songs can bring: For the woman has a friend
 Who will keep her to the end.

 The interesting fact that coal may be, converted into alcohol is the subject of an article in The Coal Review" says ". Carson Adams.
 "Research work in certain iron and steel works in Great Britain shows a yield of IS gallons of alcohol per ton of coal carbonizsd. The method in wolves the extraction of coke oven gas and it's conversion into alcohol and it is estimtaed that if the method can be applied with success to, say, 14,6Oo,- 900 tons of coal carbonized in by-prod- uct ovens, total yield of 2S.ooO,ooO gallons of alcohol would result.
 "A further supply of 27,0OO,OOo gal Ions would likewise be forthcoming from the gas works of the country, and, as the annua yield of benzol from those sources is.S respectively, S4,000,ooo gallons and 300OO,OOO gallons, total supply of 114.000,O0O gallons of benzol and alcohol thus would become pos sible, against the present estimated de- mand for motor spirit of 1sO.oOO,ooO gallons.
