South Will Not Forget
 Confederate Veterans

~0AAC0GAd dtG VCkCN 6ho
 ~ oNFEDERATE VETERANS Ns are arriving in Chattanooga for their annual reunion, which begins Tuesday. This may be the last meet ing of the "heroes of the Lost Cause," whose ranks have been sad ly depleted by the flight of time. It is hardly probable that there will be another big reunion. Certainly there will be only one more gather ing, for there are comparatively few veterans left,
 Year after year cities of the south have witnessed the procession of these old soldiers through their streets, while the. bands played Dixie" and the "Stars and Stripes" were interwoven with the Stars and Bars" but each year showed de- crease in the number of veterans who were able to attend. Birming- ham, on several occasions, has been honored by their presence and strove to show them that the memory of their valor and the sacrifices they made was something that the people of the south would cherish always.
 Chattanooga should exert herself to make the reunion this week one of the greatest ever held. The young men who fought in the World war have overshadowed somewhat the men who wore the gray, and while no one would attempt to minimize the part they played in a conflict infinitely greater than the Civil war, it should not be forgotten that the Confederate veterans bore them selves with equal heroism and the south owes them a debt that can never be repaid, in spite of the fact that theirs was not the victory. The south rejoices now that a united na- ton in which there is no longer any real sectionalism was able to turn the tide of battle in the World war and defeat the armies of autocracy, an achievement in which the sons of the north and the south fought shoulder to shoulder for ono flag and one country, but the gray-haired heroes who will meet in Chattanooga this week have claim on our affec- tions that nothing should be per- n1itted to abate.
 One would like to wish them many more reunions, where old comrades meet and recall the exploits of other days, but that is impossible. Their race is almost run. It is the desire of the south that as they answer the final summons they will go, as- sured that the land for which they fought and bled will never cease to hold them in grateful remembrance.

Resort on Shades Mountain.

T am glad to see articles in The Age Herald on the subject of a hotel and all-year resort on Shades noun tain. said pr. Scale Harris. If done right and on large scale. I believe 1t would be a paying proposition. That it would rebound to the credit and prestige of Birmingham goes without saying.
 NO site Is more picturesque than Shades mountain, and 1t Is high enough to make it pleasant in warm est weather. There is the view of the mountain ranges on one side and the beautiful day and night view of .n- dustrial Birmingham and Jones val ley on the other.
 We could get many of tho tens of thousands of motorists touring the south If we had real resort on Shades mountain. and the impression produced on the visitor would make many new citizens"

Cotton Convention In
 Birmingham This Week

rff0HE American Cotton associa-
 U ton will hold its annual con- vention here this week. It will bring to this city many leading cotton handlers, mill men. statisticians, marketing authorities and federal department officials. Every phase of the cotton trade, from growing the staple to its final disposition in the markets of the world, will be dis cussed by experts.
 Cotton being one of the necessities of mankind and required by all na- tions, interest in the conference Is worldwide. Particular attention has been drawn to the importance of cotton as an index of general busi- ness conditions this fall. The added value of s5oo,oOO,oo0 to the surplus and incoming crop brought about by an increase in prices revivified the entire industrial situation.
