For Good of the
 Community

port an obession confined to the people of Alabama and the citizens of Jeffer- son county?
 Louis Nixon, the great shipbuilder, shares our vision. His are among the eyes that are on the Warrior.
 In an address before the Atlantic Deeper Waterways Association on Oc- tober ', this big American captain of in- dustry said
 The government barge lines on the Mississippi and the Warrior river are not only giving fair service, but are beginning to pay
 They will pay still more when the new craft, now headed this way, rides the waters.
 These extracts from his address should sink deep in the minds of Alabamians when considering the state and county aid amendments to be voted in November:
 Railroads should stop antagoniz- ing such development, as it supple ments their service by taking from them much that they carry at such disadvantage as to entail loss only to be compensated for by charging higher on other freight
 The canals in carrying cheaper raw material and fuel, enable factor ies to produce outputs that will bear an adequate rail rate. The most pros porous roads are often parallel to water courses.
 What is one of the greatest handicaps to transportation in America today? Mr. Nixon says:
 Car shortage is an evil that affects
 every calling, profession and trade.
 Vast and increasing interchange of freight will quickly overtake and pass present facilities, and the more they are overtaxed, the greater the
 ultimate cost to the people.
 But the inland waterways, if they are to win approval, must be used. We cannot use our waterways unless we adequately equip them. Speaking along this line MT. Nixon says:
 The duty of business men of this
 country who believe in inland water ways is to bring about their use. Idle rails and cars did not develop the greater efficiency of our railways.
 Unused canals, or canals on paper, cannot prevail over the freight car managed by wide-awake and pro- greSSive men.
 AAAo ID uAC NOA1RAOCC RllllOSORlly Ol u1- land waterways and the ports at their terminus. That they are capable of per forming great service to the people, that they mean freight rate independence and stand for ability to move goods when rail- roads cannot handle all the traffic, is sound theory. That they must have the backing of the people in order to be prop erly equipped for their service, is sound practicality.
 The mere fact that a ma nof Lewis Nix on's national and even international prominence has taken such note of the i'm portance of inland waterway develop ment should be evidence sufficient to Ala bamians that the biggest minds of the country stand with them in their effort to make in this respect. The Warrior river presents the national test of exploitation and use of inland waterways, Eyes of the nation are on Alabama. Wherever there are thinking men, there is familiarity with the Warrior river project.
 Alabama stands before the bar of the nation. Many millions have been given it free of charge. Will it do it's small part? Yes, will be the message sent over the

The Herald made very regretable

1t was an error when it stated that

at 70 cents pound no such price on

low butter from the time the paper
apeared yesterday, but everyone
promptly accepted the explanation.

STATE LAW, F0RDIOS
ABOLITION SUNDAY
LAW ALSO REQUIRES MUNICIPAL
OFFICERS TO AID IN ENFORCE
MENT OF STATUTES.

THE attempt of the new city, admin
istration to virtually abolish Sunday
in Columbia really does not change the
situation said a well known attor-
ney of the city this morning, 1t Is
still against the state law to transact
all manner of business on Sunday and
it is also a charter requirement and
state law that the municipal officers
are required to enforce the state laws
Unless they do so they are subject t.
custer. We have seen the results o.
the officials of Memphis and Nash
vile, who SET themselves up as above
the laws of the state. Under the Gus
ter law the old Volunteer State is still
supreme in it's domain No munich
pal corporation, not even the imperial
Memphis, can set aside the laws oi
the state.'
