Half a Century and More of Character Building

EWlhdalAMl dsl,. C. .' ROBERTSON of
 has been superintendent of the Bap- tist Sunday school in that place 54 years. For more than half century this man has taught the simple les
 son of the gospel to the boys and girls of Pickens county. Who can tell the far-reaching effects of that
 service in the lives of the men and ] women who have passed under his
 kindly Sabbath tutelage?
 MT. Robertson has reached the ripe age of four-score and one. Settling in Carrollton soon after the war. he
 has been superintendent of the Bap- tist Sunday school ever since, and is
 today. There is wonderful virility in
 man who stands steadily by an up- lifting job that long without tiring and without interruption.
 Men of Mir. Robertson's type. of whom the world hears little, who do the work of the world. They are
 the quiet builders of men and women. They are the masons who lay the foundations of character that wins
 continents and rules nations. Like all service that is worth while, there is given in the name of the Creator
 and in genuine interest in their feL low.
 The south is safe because it has
 men like this all over it. Not all
 have served as long as MT. Robertson,
 but there is not hamlet in Ala
 bama without its men and women who
 have Sunday after Sunday assembled
 the boys and girls of their neighbor-
 hood and made a supreme effort to. make lpstanding American Chris tians of them. No greater service is rendered the state.

DRIFTING

 By Thomas Buchanan Read. My soul today
 Is far away, Sailing the Vesuvian Bay;
 My winged boat,
 A bird afloat, Swims round the purple peaks remote. Round purple peaks
 It sails, and seeks Blue inlets and their crystal creeks Where high rocks throw,
 Through deeps below, duplicated golden glow.
 Far, vague. and dim,
 The mountains swim; While on Vesuvius' misty brim With outstretched bands
 The gray smoke stands O'erlooking the volcanic lands.
 Here Ischia smiles
 Ger liquid miles; M sss And wonder, bluest of the isles, Calm Capri waits.
 Her sapphire gates Beguiling to her bright estates I heed not if
 My ripping skiff Float swift or slow from cliff to cliff; With dreamful eyes
 My spirit lies Under the walls cf Paradise.
 Under the walls
 Where swells and falls The bays deep breast at intervals, At peace I lie.
 Blown softly by "A cloud upon, this liquid sky. 
 The day so mild
 In Heavens own child, With earth and ocean reconciled: z. The airs I feel a.- Around me steal Are murmuring to the murmuring Keel

Bessemer City Is Next

 It is fitting that the sponsor should be the daughter of Bessemer pioneer and thatsthe ship be named Bessemer, for the Bessemer rolling mill has participated with the Fairfield mill in manufacturing plates for the vessel. Bessemer contributed the ferro- man ganese made out of the Brazilian ores that are brought here for use in the manufacture of steel. It is in the

 manager of the Alabama division oi ithe association.
 As matter of fact, the associa- ton Is doing real constructive work 1 to aid the agricultural and business interests of the state and has already accomplished results the full fruit of which will become better apparen, next season.
 Our organization is able to give the
 farmers in every state and precinct accurate information regarding agri- cultural conditions not only in the United States, but throughout the world and this knowldge will save the farmers from much trouble which they have experienced in the past. We are making plans which I s.m sure will result in real diversifica on of crops along sensible lines. The
 farmers this season will plant the |crops which will bring them the best
 results. all things considered, when the harvest is gathered. High prices

HeId-up Cotton Financed

Tt will be along between March l and 15 before the farmers now holding their cotton for higher prices, will reel like parting with it, unless a rise oc- curs,' said NJ. J. Cliett of Childers- burg. legislator, farmer and storekeep- CT. "Talladega farmers have held tightly to their cotton and have been able to do so because the merchants and the banks have financed them.
 "T believe they will commence mar keting their held back cotton at 20 cents. At 25 cents, our farmers can come clear, although not making money.
 q am going big into the Johnson grass game this year. That is cer- tain crop and has been profitable to those who have engaged in it's produc- tion. I believe all farmers will plant less cotton this year and increase di- versifcation, and that they will be in more complete control of the next cot ton yield than they have ever been.

A. H. Stevens. former prominent citizen of Birmingham, now general a gent of the Frisco system at Denver, is amazed and delighted at the growth of Birmingham.
 ''It is astonishing and revelation, even to former residents he said yes terday while here in attendance at the Frisco family gathering.
 T have been away tor 15 years coming back occa sionally fer briet visits. I did not wish to leave, but l left with love of Birmingham in my heart and confidence in her growth. My confidence is more and more jus tifed and I am especially pleased to have the other men connected with the Frisco here see and realize the big ness of the district"

 The problem of feeding the visi tors. Legion officials believe, will be satisfactorily handled. Of course they admit, soldiers are always hun gry, but street vendors of ''hot dogs" and Salvation Army lassies offering coffee, doughnuts and sal vaton free' are expected to alleviate that condition.
