 ment being circulated by the enemies of Camp Wilcox.
 We have copy of the same document with this endorsement at later date:
 October IT, 1921. The certificate on the reverse was an error, because this was ex- cluded from our minutes as matter for the camp and the Alabama division, and then for the commander-in-chief. A. B. Booth adjutant general and chief of staff."
 So, notwithstanding the facts in the case, the parties who are circulating this excluded and expunged resolution are doing so in at tempt to injure an organization of real Con- federate veterans-Camp Wilcox.
 If these resolutions had passed it would have been severe reflection upon Camp Will cox, U. c. V. In the first place, the assertions of the resolutions were false; one of the com mttee on resolutions enemy to Camp Wilcox, and doubtless right there is the incep- tion of the document, which failed of it's purpose and was rejected and expunged as shown by the certificate of the adjutant gen. eral at subsequent date when his attention was called to the misuse made of the certif- cate which had been inadvertently given.

BIRMINGHAM MAKING STRIDES

"The strides that Birmingham is making in the direction of cleaning up and building up the city should certainly be gratifying to the most exactng of it's citizens," stated E. J. Griggs, an Auburn graduate of this year. who was in Birmingham Saturday enroute to his home in Akron.
 "The most notable improvement is on Fifth avenue between the Terminal station and the Tutwiler, and it seems that tEe realization of Birminghams white way is not far off. Other sections are building rapidly, and in this Bir- mingham seems to be doing more each month"

STRONG FoR AupIToRIuM

"A city auditorium like the one proposed by the present bond issue, would not only be q boost to Birmingham in civic activities, but would go a longfway towards giving her rec ognition as an athletic center" says Tram Ses sions, former star center with the University of Alabama football eleven, now hustling in surance man of Birmingham.
 "A place such as the auditorium would pro- vide, has long been needed as a place to hold basketball tournaments, notably the state and southern states nterscholastic tournaments, and the southern intercollegiate tournaments which are now held in Atlanta in that city $ auditorium continued Tram, land is a great advertisement of that city, to say nothing of the other benefits that are derived therefrom. The day cannot be far distant when Birming- ham must and will have an auditorium"
