Decisive answer was made las, night at the Pratt City city hall by pr N. A. Barrett to statements by D. D. McLendon regarding his connec- ton with the Birmingham Quick Change Rim company, a concern of which MT. McLendon was formerly president, and which is now in the hands of receiver. Dr. Barrett pro- duced two notes signed by Mir. Me- lendon as president of the company, each for S1,70799, which he stated have not yet been paid They were made payable to the Southern Tire and Rubber company.
 Dr. Barrett said that McLendon was not connected with this firm to the end, because he saw bankruptcy coming and got out, leaving his as sociates with the bag to hold" He charged that McLendon shirked his responsibility.

McLendon on the same platform, Dr. Barrett declared. He said that he was strongly in favor of such ac- lions. Charges and attacks of other candidates for the presidency were also discounted at length by pr. Barrett.

YUKPA RESOLUTIONS
Club Pays Tribute to Memory of the
 Late Father Coyle

The Yukpa club of Birmingham has adopted the following resolu- tions of sympathy in connection, with the tragic death of their beloved friend, Rev. Father James E. Coyle.
 ''Whereas: Reverend Farther James D. Coyle, beloved pastor of Saint Pauls chdrch, Dean of North Ala bama, friend and ardent supporter of the Yukpa club, died on Thurs day the eleventh of August. Nine teen Hundred and Twenty one.
 "As none of us could have antic- ipated the awful tragedy the news of his death came to us as a most terrible shock.
 We cannot at this time, so soon after his death, fittingly refer to the fine and noble traits of character in Father Coyle; to his self-sacrIfice in the service of our Divine Master while laboring among us for our salvation; to his lofty patriotic American ideals and to his tender de- votion for the suffering land of his birth.
 Father Coyle was a man we can all look to for a shining example of a great Catholic and a patriotic American who left record so noble that it is seldom equalled and never exceIed.
 startling in it's suddenness as was his passing away, was IF not a blessed ending to this transitory life to step immediately from his active work in the service of Holy Mother Church on earth into the presence of our Lord and Master, whom he loved so devoutly and served so faithfully.
 Resolved therefore by the Yukpa

leaving anything undone to make a success of the affair and the cattle will be judged next Tuesday. A re- liable auctioneer has been secured and the cattle will be sold at auction Thursday to the highest bidder" said Mir. Derby.
 In speaking of the possibilities of stock raising and of the importance of purebred sires, MT. Derby stated that poor cattle bred to purebred sires produced a grade of cattle that was far above the best common stock in Alabanla and that many of the first cross ealves at the fair this year would sell for between $40 and $50.
 The l2 heifers are to be divided into three classes. with first. second third and fourth prizes in each class. The first four heifers are to be given to the boys and girls showing the best three calves, one year old or under The next class of four will be given to the dividuals showing the best three steers and the last four to individuals showing the best five steers.
 Mir, Phillips is planning to serve one of the choicest fat Shorthorn calves at a banquet to be given for the stock raisers of the state in the Tutwiler Monday night.
 The 12 heifers to be given as prizes for the exhibit of the best group of steers have been bought and given by the following firms and individ- uals to stimulate interest in cattle rasing; Jemison X Co.,, Moore & Handley Hardware company, Nouns & vann Supply company, Birn.ing ham Packing company, R. A. Brown and associates, Dr. j. D. s. Davis, Tut wiler hotel, Travelling Mems Pro tective association, Raul Lumber company, Allen. Jemison & Co, Tusca- loosa: Tennessee Coal.

The first act of the Drama league is over.
 Back behind the scenes many other thrilling episodes are to follow as the months go on. But not even the climax of the years work can equal the gayety of the first luncheon that opened it's programme yesterday al the Southern club
 Stories from far-away India-sto- ries of engroes-stories of the seas stories of Buddha worshipers and q pear shaped diamond-these all en- tertained the laughing, merry, beau tifully gowned women who crowded every table set in the grill of the l newly decorated club.
 There must have been as many as ! 300. and with the announcement that i a great many new members had 1 joined the ranks of the club, ap- tplause broke out and enthusiastic | Whispers were heard:
 ! Isn't that lovely #"
 My, we've got our thousand mem bers-and 1,500 if possible"
 Tt will just take work, that all. Well, the next two weeks will make it come true"
 And then the women leaned for ward to catch the details of the membership campaign, set forth by Mrs. Kenneth Charlton Huge numbers of letters-running up into the hundreds--have been sent out, she said, and the responses had been gratifying as so many of the | October members taken in during that month last year were renewing. And said she:
 Don't think that if your member ship is about to expire that we won't remember you with reminder that we want and need you to join and be with us again in our fight for bet ter drama in this city A great many people who have not belonged to the organization are coming in.'
 More applause here.
 We need better drama Tn Bir- mingham," she averred, even as better drama as whole is needed everywhere"
 Mrs. w. l. Grubb chairman for membership, is out of town, she an- nounced, and to her had fallen her duties. Mrs. Mitchell Williamson she related, was in active charge of the campaign for members which will last the coming two weeks, and will be city wide in its pressure.
 Mrs Williamson has already ap- pointed women in each of the main centers of Greater Birmin gham- South Highlands, Norwood Ensley, East Lake. and West End, to look after the work M
 Mrs. W. J. Yielding told of the junior work of the Drama league explained how much could be ob- tained for the $1 invested, and Mrs J. D. Frazier told of the club work.
 The meeting was presided over by Mrs. J. R. Hornady, president, and next to her sat the speaker of the day, w. Mckay Wright. No man in Birmingham probably could have spoken and held the interest of 300 people better than he did for an hour while he discussed drama in it's phases here and abroad. Most of his lecture was most serious but a DOT tion of it was quite diverting in it's contrasts of customs. For instance: ::
 We're not as dramatic here as they are overseas" he said in one il- lustration. Tt is quite natural in France for two men to see each other, and overcome with their hap piness, embrace each other and kiss upon the street.

Tn 1872 l bought a lot where the old Jefferson County Bank building now is, on Second avenue and Twenty first street for $250. I was photographer by profession and within a short time after the pur- chase of the lot. I constructed what was known in those days as a pho tograph emporium It was a one story building which faced northwest in order to get the rays of the sun more fully.
 Selma Original Home
 Selma had been my home and shortly after I had established my business I net Col J, R. Powell. the Duke of Ely and the founder of Birmingham. From time to time when he would come to my office he showed that he had taken fancy to me and, was interested in the work I was doing. Frequently he offered his advice about the business to me personally and I acted largely upon it. As a result I am living in ease in my old age on the outcome of the $250 originally invested in the lot.
 For 12 years I was in business in that simple little gallery, and in 1884 l sold the business for s6,000 cash to Christian F. Enslen, and in- vested the money in Birmingham real estate. Later MT. Enslen constructed a modest three story bank building on the lot which was subsequently enlarged. This was one of the most successful banking institutions in the south.''

 During Cholera Epidemic
 Possibly one of the most memor- able periods of General Oxford's life was the year of 1872, during the cholera epidemic here. During this epidemic General Oxford lost his wife and one daughter. He said that he himself had an attack of cholera, but recovered after a brief illness He then felt that he was immune and again took up his work, and dur ing the remainder of the epidemic was busily engaged in taking pictures of the cholera victims. Among the first pictures he made in Birmingham was a photograph of the first cholera vic time. child of John Archer.
