 ONE OF MANY


 This boat is only one of a large number which will be constructed for service be- tween Mobile and foreign ports. Its first trip will be with steel from the Birming- ham district and other products of Ala
 bama. It will go to Copenhagen, Den
 mark to unload it's first cargo, which
 will be taken on at Mobile and New Or leans.
 The statement that the ship will stop at
 New Orleans after leaving Mobile for
 additional cargo impressed members of
 the harbor commission with the impor-
 taIce of the port campaign. The capacity
 or the ship could not be used at Mobile
 simply because terminals and other fa- cilities have not been constructed to care for shipments, and instead of loading and leaving the shores of America at Mo- bile, destined for the foreign port, the shir will be forced to make another trip in America where it can obtain sk>in- ments sufficient to make the voyage financial success.
 Alabama will be advertised throughout the world by the ships which will be con- structed atSMobile. The plan now is to construct ten, and each will bear the name of an Alabama City. Already three have been launched, the Mobile City, Sel- ma City and Montgomery City Other names already selected include EnsIey City and Tuscaloosa City The Tusca. loosa City will be launched into Chickasa- bogue creek November 6, while the other ships will be turned off the ways as fast as they can be constructed.
 The ships will be the most modern ever constructed. The Montgomery. City is equipped with oil and coal burners, has a displacement of 13,o00 tons, the deadweight is 9,650 tons, generates 310O horse power, is AZ feet long and cost approximately $2, ,0cO 900.
 JEFFERSON AMENDMENT Since the amendment giving Jefferson and facilities on the Warrior river goes hand in hand with the port amendment it is not doubted that it, too, will receive the approval of the voters
 The third amendment gives counties the right to levy . local tax of not more than 50 cents on each s100 for the con structidh of public roads. No campaign has been made for or against this amend ment. and the matter was left entirely to the discretion of the voters of ther va- ricus counties. Before the tax can be levied in any county another election must be held and majority of those particf- pating must cast votes in favor of the levy. It must be made clear befofe the election what levy is proposed and how long it will run.
 The only political fight in Alabama has been in the Seventh district, where re- pubiicans hope to defeat the democratic nominee, Congressman L. B. Rainey. Judge L. L. Hersberg of Gadsden, mana ger of the democratic campaign com mittee, in . statement today declared that the democrats will win by a greater ma- tority than they have received in the pest. The Seventh district has always been a battle-ground for the two parties. and this time there has been more uncer- tEinty because of the registration of many women. Republicans have attempted to persuade every republican women to reg ister and cast a ballot in the election. Democrats have also urged their sup porters among the women to equip them- selves for the use of the ballot.
