A good hotel is big asset to any
town no matter how large or how
small the town may be. When the
Newberry people travel away from
home, and while they stay at home,
they want to tell what fine new
heel the town has, and now nicely
everything about it is kept and man
aged, and it will prove the biggest
sort of an advertisement for the
town. 1t is really a nice place and
a credit to the town.
Mr.. Walton, the man who did the
pastering about the building and who
did the fancy work in the lobby with
mortar, certainly knows how and he
does it in hurry. Go in and take q

job is credit to the men who did
the work as well as to the man who
furnished the sinews Of war.

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION
tAssociated Pressl


Birmingham, Oct. S.-The chief i
feature of Birmingham's celebration
of her fiftieth birthday during the
week of October 24-29 will be the his
torical pageant depicting the half
century of development from a group
of cornfields in 1871 to the South's
leading industrial center in 1921.
Since the first house was built in
Birmingham only so years ago, the
pageant can present only half CEN
t1ry of the history of the city itself.
The early history of Alabama, colo
NAL DAYS an dthe civil war period and
reconstruction will be grouped in a
prelude. The main pageant will con-
sist of a series of separate episodes
showing the various periods in the
building of Birmingham.
Fifteen hundred persons will take
part, including a chorus of 500 spe-
cially trained voices, and several hun
died young people who viii take the
dancing parts Orchestras and bands
will provide the music.
! The pageant was prepared from a
mass of data compiled by local his
torians The episodes to be present
ed will show the discovery of coal,
iron and limestone in large quantities
in sight of the present city of Birm-
ingham, the construction of the first
small, crude iron furnaces, the open
ing of coal mines in what are now
the limits of the city, the growth of
the city from a crude, rough, lawless
mining camp, the boom period follow
ed by the financial disaster of the
SOS, the period of defation and then
the launching of Birmingham on a
firm foundation.
Then will come the experiments in
steel making, which were finally at
: tended by success, the entry Of the
United States Steel Corporation into
, Birmingham, following the acquisition
OF the properties of the Tennessee
: Coal, Iron & Railroad Company, tbs
| construction of many steel mills, the
: passing of the city from the raw ma
terial to the finished product era.
t The closing episode will deal witt
? Birmingham of today, city of 200,
: 600 people 1t will show coal, iroI
: and limestone. the three requisites TO
e steel making found side by side with
!. in sight of the many furnaces wher
n pig iron is made, at the side Of tn
d giant steel plants where finished stee
: is made and then converted into al
t kinds of steel products, where it
o loaded into steel ocean liners mad
:. of Birmingham steel by a Birming
q ham corporation and then sent to ev

!. One part of this episode will shoV
: the opening of the Warrior river t
a navigation after the government ha
constructed lock II, which has dan
J. IS feet high. and two locks with lii
% of 3115 feet each, more than thre
Il feet more than the Gatun locks on tn
+ Panama canal. This dam create
$ Lake Bankhead which backs up waite
{. more than go miles, enabling Birn
Ie ingham to tow her products to tn
d gulf ports.
, Other episodes depict the pre-
J. gress of Birmingham along educs
o tional, social and civic lines from th
early days when lawlessness wa
rampant until today when the cit
lays claims to attractions as a HON
T. citv second to none.
