He showed that at present barges on the Warrior river have a capacity equal to that of over sixteen hundred freight cars, and how. with the con- gested. freight situation on railroads,
 this would not only expedite shipments, but also mean a great saving to the people generally in freight rates. Uncle
 Sam has done much for Alabama water ways. but now, according to Mir. Hay, the people of the state must allow the
 state to use it's credit to build docking
 facilities in order that the things
 Uncle Sam have given us may be used.
 Following the address of Mir. Hay
 the Chamber of Commerce voted to
 be of all assistance possible in the campaign.

TROY

Troy, July 24.-(SpeciaL)-The fea- ture of the semi monthly luncheon at the Chamber of Commerce last night was an address by T. P. Hay of Bir- mingham, who is now making some ad dresses in the behalf of the state har- bor board at Mobile.
 His talk was in regard to the coming issue at the November 4 elections. as to whether the people of Alabama shall vote to issue bonds for the building of docking facilities at Mobile, so that the Alabama waterways may carry their amount of the congested freight and so that these freights may be properly handled to and from the ships in Mobile, or in temporarily warehous- ing there.
 MT. Hay had a number of charts with which he illustrated his address He showed that even through there are many inland towns. like Troy, which cannot get the direct benefit in rates on account of not being on a river that these towns may be benefited by a partial water shipment rate.
 Taking up New Orleans docking ia cilities, for example, MT. Hay showel where the state owned docks. ware houses, elevators, etc. there made a handsome profit for the state last year and that the bonds issued by Louisiana for the building of these docking ia elites were being rapidly paid by profits accruing from their operation while the banquet and other features will be held in the lodge rooms of the K. of P.

Tuscaloosa, July 24.-(Special)-R F. farm three miles from Tuscaloosa, is making his Ford car do double duty, thereby helping his neighbors and in- creasing his farm products. He uses the car to ride to the city, where he is busy during the day, and late in the evening on his return home, he htches up the car to his g-istniill and the motor is kept buZZing fer several hours, grinding corn for his neighbors and himself. The Ford does other duties on the farm where machinery is needed.
 The iron safe in the warehouse of Tim rnerman 6S Sons on Fourth street was robbed early this morning and SIS in money taken. The burglar made an en- trance to the building by breaking a large glass in the window. A pedestrian saw a negro leaving the place and re- ported the matter to the police. Po- licemen Carraway and Franklin were de- tailed on the case and in short time Will Kennedy, negro, under arrest. When searched, part of the money, it is alleged, was found n him. Kennedy for merly worked On the place, and it is be- ieved knew the ccpatnal,on of the safe door, which hal not been injured wher the money was missed. The safe door was found unlocked. and this leads to the belief that it lad heen opened by the combination.
 This is the time when farmers have trouble watching their watermelon patches in keeping off thieves who have been reported taking many of the lus- cious fruit from the vines. Thomas Cln- ton, farmer living two miles from the city, thought of a novel scheme in pro- tecting his melons, He placed a number of laRterns in his patches on poles and during the night they arc kept burnins They have proven effective in keeping off miscreants who heretofore have been raiding his patches and appropriating many of his very best melons.

HEFL|N WILL TAKE STUMP FOR COX IN
 DOUBTFUL STATES
Alabama SenatOr-elect Out lines Issues Which Will Be Most Prominent In the
 Campaign
By HUGH w. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age Herald
 nutl


 Washington, July 24-Senator-elect J. asked by Gov. Cox to take the stump in his behalf in many states of the Union. MT. Heflin, one of the most ap- pealing campaign orators of the coun- try, has accepted, and will get busy inn mediately after the nominee is official ly notified, Aug. T.
 In an interview today, Mir Heflin pre- dicted the success of the democratic party, chiefly because the republicans have prevented the administration "clos- ing the doorway through which the God of War approaches,' and because not only in their congressional course but even in their convention, they ignored treated with contempt-the 100000 pro- gressives of the United States.
 It was his point, however, that the democrats must take off their coats and go after their political enemies with hammer and tongs. He was emphatical- ly opposed to conducting pink tea campaign
 WHAT OF PROGRESSIVES2
 "It can be readily demonstrated he added. that the democrats have been more appreciative of the progressives of the United States than the republicans When the request came that Wilson ap- point, for the conduct of affairs dur ing time of war non-partisans, he re- sponded-and we see Victor Murdoch, Bainbridge Colby and John l..

HUNTSVILLE

Huntsville, July A,-(Special)-The final report of the Madison county Brand jury was made to Judge c. Kyle yesterday. The grand jury investigated 12S cases and returned fifty y-seven true
 bills. The grand jury recommended that the next grand jury make a full in- vestigation of the expenditure of road funds for several years back in order to quiet the public uneasiness with re- gard to the expenditure of funds which is due to the rundown condition of the roads at present Cognizance is taken of the public desire to know where the money has gone. The grand jury in- vestigated profiteering in life's neces- sities and found that although some articles have been sold at too high a price, specific instances on which in- dictments could be returned were lack ing.

1 No, indeed. They named that prince of standpatters, Henry Cabot Lodge;
 The progressives will not heartily support the republican ticket, ever if they do not support the democratic ticket. They have seen the republicans in control of the Senate because New berry bought Michigan, and by that act prevented the ratification of the treaty of peace. Corruption may win it's point for a day, but it cannot avoid the time of reckoning
 CHARGE OF CORRUPTION
 And Harding never protested against Newberry retaining / his seat, even though Newberry is staring into the doorways of the penitentiary. He toll tied thereby.
 And they said much about the Low den and Wood delegates at Chicago be- ing corrupt delegates in that these can didates spent great sums of money in procuring them. And yet the Wood and Dowden delegates made up a majority Of the republican convention. And if they were corrupt, why of course, the convention was corrupt.
 And the convention nominated liar ding. These very delegates whom John son and Borah would have scourged out of the party, these men who were amen able to big business, dominated the con vention because they were in the ma jority, and of cYarse t is to them tha Harding owes his nominati ton.
 "The people of the country won't stand for such conditions, the perpetuity of such conditions The time has gone when Penrose could name man and the peo- pie would immediately elevate him to the presidency That day has certainly passed.
 HOLE UNDER FENCE
 "The republicans are on the defensive respecting the League of Nations. They talk of Shantung and Article x and the Fiji Islands and other isloated topics and 'settlements.' But the big question they ignore.
 "Our position is simple. Governor Cox has stated it. We intend joining a We will take no action respecting war until Congress authorizes such action. That is the whole story.
 "The farmer, after driving pigs from his field does not look at the hole under come in again If he is a wise man, he are trying to do regarding the ease with which war comes into the field. We are trying to close the hole.
 "The American people who have seen the flower of the young manhood of the world shot down want no more war The profiteer does. The republicans play the game of the profteer, perhaps uncon- scously. The American people won't stand for it. And there is nothing else to be said"
