 An addition to this department received day or two ago and now available to the public is about 100 volumes of new music and many of the classics. This brings the available compositions over the 5000 mark.
 AS soon as the order is filled, the li- brary will have the librettos and scores of the operas to be offered in Atlanta this spring, and of the Scotti Opera Com pany. which will be here in May.
 Not to leave the innovation incom- plete, the Seals Piano Company has given the library a great number of fine selec- tfons for player pianos, and these, too, are now available.
 National officials of the American Lii brary Association who have been in Bir- minghanl within the past few weeks say that the Birmingham public library is one of the most completely stocked, for cities of It's size, In the country, and has more original features and service de- partments than any library in the south
 Many of these new developments have materialized since the arrival of Lloyd w. Josselyn, the new director of the li- brary.

 T am appearing in a new role" he began. q have all of my life been a plain farmer and business man and not public man. It was not my will and not my wish that I go upon the stump and make speeches in this cam paign, but while on a sick bed l was over-persuaded last week by a bunch of lawyers. They billed me to speak
 in Coosa county l agreed to go be- cause I felt it safer to try to make a speech among the hills of Coosa than before an audience of lawyers. l told my manager I feared if tried to make a speech l would lose votes, but he told me I must go.
 'T entered this race not at my sug- gestion. not at my wish. Men who saw the situation stated that l was the man to mako the race. They over persuaded me- Now as I am in the race many of them take it AS a joke. It has been published as joke. but from the day I published by platform I was in the race, and am in to the finish. They thought I was monkeying with the proposition"
 Here he related the story of his scheme to break certain Birmingham bankers from trying to get in on every business deal in which he was inter- ested He and some friends organized a corporation to import and educate monkeys to pick cotton, promising thereby to revolutionize the cotton in- dustry of the south, the story being well known to old time Birmingham people

MUSGROVE MAKES
 FIRST APPEARANCE
 AS SPEAKER HERE
Declares He Is in Race to End and Is Proud of the Support of Union
 Labor

Declaring that he is in the race for United States senator to the finish and that he has been from the day, he wrote and published his platform, Lawrencs Breckenridge Musgrove of Jasper made his first oral appeal to the electorate of Jefferson county for their support in speech at the Jefferson theatre last night
 It was Mir Musgrove's second eitort at public speaking and while he ae- quilted himself in satisfactory man .ner he appeared to be i'll at east at first. but gradually warmed up to his subject.
 Practically every seat in the orches- tra circle was occupied and by the time MT. Musgrove began his speech a score or more men were in the pa4 cony. Scattered through the audience were several women, wno manlfested a keen interest in the speakers and the things they spoke about. occupy ing one of the boxes was Mrs. Pattie Ruffner Jacobs, president of the Ala bama Equal Suffrage Association.
 John w. Altman, county manager for MT. Musgrove, acted as chairman and concluded the sSeech-making with a long discussion of the Cummins rall- road bill for his support of which ne arragined Senator Underwood
 FIRST SPEAKER
 w. c. Davis of Jasper first to be introduced by the chairman, paid g glowing tribute to Alabama and Ala bamians. referring to a number of great men who served their state well and faithfully. declaring that whenever great issue arose in the, nation an Ala bamian sprang up to offer a solution. He closed with an appeal to the voters to elect MT. Musgrove, who would go down in history. not as great talker, but as one of the greatest constructive senators who will take f1is place along side the peerless Morgan"
 Fritz Thompson of Bibb county, fol- lowing Mir Davis, asserted that his county which has always been an On- derwood stronghold, would return a majority against Underwood in the primary election and majority for Musgrove.
 What has Senator Underwood done for the people of Alabama in the twen- ty-five years he has been in congress? was asked by each of the speakers, ex- cept MT. Musgrove, and each answered "Nothing."
 They all declared with emphasis that he had done nothing for the state and one of them added that Senator Under woods name is not attached to a sln- gle constructive measure as it's author. The Underwood tariff bill. he ascribed, was prepared by experts for the ways and means committed. of which Sena- tor Underwood, then in the House, was chairman, and that Senator Underwood was not its author
