owners and minera The premier
himself presided over the confer

lor Of the exchequer especially gave
color to the reports that the govern

porary financial assistance to meet
exceptional circumstances of poor

Out of town engagements during the fall have caused me to miss most of the Rotary luncheons, but if all the papers given by Rotar- ians on their business were good as the one read by Donald Conner at the last meeting, the club has had rare treat.
 Donald Conner is the incarnation of the Ro- tary spirit and when he said in his paper that Rotary ideas had been part of the policies of the cotton mills at Pell City, Sycamore, Syla- cauga, Alexander City, Eufaula and Brming- ham it meant that the golden rule was at work. It was fine tribute to him when Dr. s. W. Welch, state health officer, who was present said that Donald Conner had had much to do with the improved conditions in the cotton mills of Alabama.
 Donald was at pains to make it plain that the mills in the various towns and citiesNwere not wholly the property of the Conner family, but that much of the stock was in the hands of out siders, and that the board of directors was made up of leading business men. While this is true, yet everybody is aware that the Conner spirit dominates the splendid properties and that the success of them all from financial, social, educational and religious standpoint is due largely to the personal Conner touch.
 Birmingham has right to be proud of the "Comer Mills' It means much that the hon orable Braxton Bragg Conner came to the Magic City back in the sos and built his home on South Highlands and reared his family here. During his residence he has played a conspic- uous part in the political, financial, social and religious life, not only of the city, but the state and even the nation. The mills under his control reflect the best thought of his latter days. Donald is carrying out well his policies as are other of his competent
 It seems hard to realize but the mills directed by the Corners consume 50 ,OO0 bales of cotton annually. It takes this large amaRnt of cot ton to keep the 210,OoO spindes in the nine plants going Many have lived to revo- lution in the handling of cotton mill labor both as to pay, hours working and living conditions. Having recently had a chance to go through some of the Conner mills l can testify from what I saw that the amount of welfare work being done is really wonderful.
 Braxton Bragg Conner the upbuilder has done much to put Alabama the map as a cotton spinning state. He has done much to make it's laws the model for other states and in so doing he has brought renown to his home town. "The mills manufacture" says Donald, "chambrays, largely used for home dresses and childrens rompers, Indigo denims for over alls, sateens converted into artificial leather for auto tops, sheetings which go to New Eng land and come back to us yellow rain slckers
