Norment. D. M. Osler and Tyler Mangum, will meet with the county agent at o'clock Thursday. More than 75 poultry fanciers made application for mem bership in the proposed association. Light and Power company. 'I am positive that 1t represented the attt- tude of every friend of Auburn who has given serious thought to the sub ject. I heartily approve of what MT DeBardelehen said"
 Delegation Goes Back
 The Montgomery delegation, con- posed of Judge Leon McGord, Moses Kahn, Jesse Hearin and MT. Sheehan, returned to the capital Wednesday morning.
 The Alabama Cotton Manufacturers have indorsed establishment of chair of textile engineering at Au- burn, according to Charles F. De- Bardeleben, who presented the mat ter to them. The association will probably provide for such a depart ment, MT. DeBardeleben said Wednes- day, providing full equipment for it's operation.
 "There are more cotton mill spin dies within a 40-mile radius of Au- burn than any other location in the south" MT. DeBardeleben said in commenting on the proposition. One can see what a blow the present ags- tation can have on the support tha' has just been enlisted for this new department Now an Alabama man, to learn textile engineering, must leave the state. Such department would be a valuable asset, not only to Auburn, but to the state at large.
 "If Montgomery is serious enough to discuss such an important and vital subject. let them talk seriously and produce definite legal documents. The names of people on the dotted line have not been shown. All they DflnG are i4oi oA 'S'''' 'iA definite"
 Economic Objections
 Mir. DeBardeleben pointed out that replacement of the present equipment would cost practically double the original outlay and that dorfnitories would have to be provided for every student. He said that the present situation at Auburn provides fot housing in the homes of citizens.
 "There can be no sane reason why Auburn should be moved to any city and those who propose 1t must be actuated by purely selfish motives of personal gain and have not the good of the institution at heart" Henry T. DeBardeleben telegraphed Dr. C. $. Yarbrough, mayor of Au- burn. when the original meeting re- garding the removal was held in Montgomery early this month.
 "A move. of this kind is certain 10 create a division of the alumni, which will be most hurtful. We must present a solid front to the egisla- ture if we are to be successful in obtaining the much needed appre- pIiation in Januafy.
 Thomas Bragg, former president of the alumni association, and pro lessor of chemistry at Auburn Tor years. backed MT. DeBardeleben in  his views.
 The propaganda concerning the moving of the great scnool of Au- burn to Montgomery is all bosh, said MT. Bragg. There is not one ! chance in a billion that the citizens of this state will agree to the con templated move of few Montgomery citizens. In common with all true | sons of Auburn. l shall oppose this movement to the bitter end. The proposition is so foolish that 1t is really laughable."
 The Montgomery removal proposal will be definitely presented to tic board of trustees of the school at it's meeting in Montgomery December 2t. Contract for erection of two dormi- tory buildings will be awarded at this meeting, called for that purpose. The meeting, originally set for De- cember 19, was postponed because Governor kilby could not be in the capital before December q.
