 If wilson went to Hartford expect ing that he would fad the field clear with Gov. Holcomb absent he was badly fooled.
 The Governor was scheduled to come to the Union league banquet in this city but he failed +o show up.
 Where was he? Why, holding the fort at Hartford, just as he promised J. Henry Roraback before the Repub. lican chieftain left for the Chicago

Scarcity of Sand Is
Hampering Building
and Road Construction

Construction work and road building
in Birmingham has virtually been at a
standstill since early in December on ac-
count of scarcity of sand. according to
local contractors and material houses
Freight cars commonly used to haul sand
have been hauling coal under priority
orders for some time, ban against load
ing sand having been put into effect seven
weeks ago.
A few days ago. however, the restric-
tons were slightly modified, so that now
dealers may load one-fourth of the nor
NAL amount of sand shipped from their
pits. Scores of houses and several build
ings in course of construction are forced
to wait until the supply of sand is re-
plenished before they can be completed.
Just when relief will be obtained is a
matter of speculation, but right now Br-
minghams building operations are Sc
riously hampered by the scarcity of sand.

ment according to directions.

BEN WE'LL ADOPTS
PROFIT-SHARING
POLICY AND PLAN
Oldest Clothing Establish
ment in City Changes
Name and Policy.

Establishing new policy and with
new name. for the firm, N. We'll &
Bro. Clothing Company will in the
future be known as Ben We'll & Bro
Clothing Company, Inc.
The new policy was announced yes
terday when Ben We'll stated that in orr
der to give employees of the firm a
chance to share in the profits of the
business, and also to perpetuate the
name of M. We'll & Bro. incor-
poration papers had been filled, the
legal formalities to be completed in a
few days at Montgomery.
Under the new Incorporation the firm
is capitalized at 100000, the stock to
be divided into 1000 shares at 800
each. The following are the officers
of the new firm according to the in
corporation papers: Ben We'll, presl7
dent and treasurer; Mrs. Ben We'll, vice
president; Charles e. Swango, secretary
and general manager; Miss Bette
Idom. assistant secretary.
Although the papers of incorpora-
ton show Ben We'll owning 1913 shares
of stock, Mrs. We'll one share and MIR.
Swango one share, it was stated that
employees would be allowed to buy Il
limited amount of stock at the book
value of $3.50 a share, the amount to be
paid out of the dividends on the stock
Among the employees who will partici-
pate in the stocks were mentioned ID.
A. Mclean, f. II. Ensey, Emile Behrens
and J, Watson Williams.
Congratulating Mr. We'll on the incor-
poration of the company was letter
from NJ w. Cresap of Hart CHATTER g.
Mary nj ChiCap a follows.
My Dear Mr. We'll: While ! antici-
pated that you would very shortly in
corporate your business and have al
ready offered you my congratulations, L
cannot refrain from again expressing
my pleasure that the Incorporation has
at last been consummated.
you have done a very wise and
creditable thing. One of your purposes
was to perpetuate the splendid name of
M We'll e. Bros. That purpose has a
sentimental value which cannot be
measured in money. You have done a
fine thing in providing that this name,
which has been known to the people all
over the state of Alabama and beyond
for many years, should continue as 4
lasting ms titution.
another one of your purposes was
to be so organized that you could throw
responsibilities on younger men and
give yourself some leisure. This was
also important, not only because it is a
good thing for your health, but because
it insures you that thereswill always be
somebody there to take responsibility.
''The third object was to give the
younger men that are with you an OPP
portunity to become part owners of the
business and give greater value to their
holdings by the results of their own
efforts. This is going to work out splen-
didly for you, and know you will be
very happy about it,"
The firm of NJ. Well & Bro. Cloth
ing Company is one of the Oldest in
Birmingham, moving to this city from
Monroe La, in 1885. The firm was es-
tablished in Monroe in 1872.
