Give Warrior a Chance

Warrior" said Murray Brown, former There has always been opposition to the Warrior plans and always will be. Now, however, that the government has committed itself to giving the War rior a fair chance. I cannot conceive withdrawal of federal hand in the scheme until the chance has been af- forded.
 The Warrior canont be said to have been given the promised test until all the terminal facilities on the river and at Mobile that have been scheduled and for which contracts have been let have been completed and are in use. Only half of our self-propelle- fleet is on the river and still we showed a profit of $5o,O0O in April.
 Meanwhile, shippers in the 20 per cent differential territory should pat ronize the barge line to the best of their ability, so as to make good showing in case serious attempt at withdrawal of federal aid is attempted"
 Tells Joke on " ebb Crawford
 "The Kentucky derby at Louisville Saturday was one of the greatest events I have ever seen" said Hugh Morrow, and the sight was wei worth the trip to the large number of Alabama men and women who attended.
 Tn connection with the race, there is an excellent joke on our good friend, Webb Crawford. Like every one else who attended he thought he would make little bet to add to the interest in the race. He knew very little about the different horses, but heard that a good many people were betting on Le- a Leonardo II ticket. Putting it in his pocket, he didn't pay any more atten- tion to it until just before the derby. When he looked at his ticket and con- suited his programme, he found that the seller had given him a Bradley stable bet. His friends were indignant that he should have been treated so, and urged him to go down and demand his Leonardo II ticket. But he decided to let it go and take his medicine. "When Behave Yourself of the Brad ley stables came in first and Black Servant of the same stable came sec ond. I think MT. Crawford was the only man from Alabama who had won. and he had done it accidentally" Learning Habits of Bees q am learning a whole lot about bees these days" said Dr. Felix I. Tar rant. Some time ago 1 got hold of four stands and put them in my garden on Nineteenth street south. For several days now I have been expecting my first swan, and I know that when it comes it is going to mean good deal of excitement. but l am fixed for it and have my extra hive already for the family.
 AS a matter of fact, there is nothing more fascinating than bees. Their methods of living and the way they work are never ending sources of won- der and amusement. Furthermore, they are mighty good to have around. l nave one hive from which expect to get 40 pounds of honey this season. In bring ing in their honey I have noticed that my bees seem to get it somewhere on Red mountain as that is the general di- rection they usually take.
 "The time is coming when the bee in- dustry is going to be a great thing in the south because the land of flowers is the natural place for them if they. are given proper care and encoura agement. Within the next 10 years look to see a great change in the south's attitude toward the profits of bee keeping" Wanted Bottle of "Pep"
 "Woco Peps fame is spreading, said J. Gregory Johnston of the Wofford oil company, yesterday. We received through the mails today letter from lady in Rome, Ga, enclosing s1 and asking us to send her one bottle of 'Woco tonic.
 Our reply was that we would have to return her dollar, for while our prep aration was a great tonic for automo- piles, it was hardly suitable for human beings"
 shows spirit
 q always like to visit Birmingham" " said Gen. ". L. Sibert. major general, U. S. A., retired, now living at Gads- l den. T used to think about 1t often when stationed in France in some of I the villages where a new house would scarcely be erected in half century. for it had sprung up in miraculous fashion, and well deserves the name of Magic City.
 | T am greatly interested in i:s semi centennial. It shows the American spirit at it's best. for it shows forth what can be done in the way of mak- ing great metropolis in this country in 50 years
