 During his present visit, 1t was pointed out by the former citizen and prominent banker that he had availed himself of the opportunity to visit and observe closely the indus trial. business and residential sec tons of the city and of making a mental comparison with what was here eight years ago.
 "lt have been deeply and very pleas sntly impressed with the marked Inn provements I see on every hand" remarked Governor Harding. Inn provements in the business district have not been so marked except dur- Ing the past 12 months. it was shown, but within that time some very important improvements and additions have been made to the downtown district, such as the Bir- mingham Trust and Savings Bank building. new stores and new bust ness fronts all around to give Bir- mingham a much more metropolitan aspect. The street car system was also referred to as being in a much improved condition. with it's cars looking better, Other improvements of the business section. such as the Twentyfirst street viaduct and bet ter traffic rules. were also treated with great emphasis as to their value to the city.

Republicans Split Upon
 Appointment of Kennan1ar
Many Protests Heard From

 Seventh District-Long Si- lent Over Defeat
nx oseAR M. puGGER. JR.

Although news of the nomination of Thomas J. Kennamer as United States marshal for the northern dis trict of Alabama was received with sincere delight by numbers of repub- lican forces in the state, yet should his confirmation come through there will be a large percentage of repub- lican forces in the state, who reside outside the seventh district. to reg ister protests to the continued habit of all the fat and juicy political plums being distributed to aspirants from that particular section.
 With the exception of a director of the prohibition enforcement depart ment of Alabama, Charles NJ. Sartain, all the major appointments in the northern district have gone to those who hail from the Seventh congress sional district, and the only big vacancy outside the internal revenue department that remains to be filled for at least a year, is the assistant to Charles B. kennamer, district at torney and c. R, Robinson, Ashville attorney has been recommended for that post. Semi official information has eminated from Washington that his appointment has gone through.
 Long's Friends Fight
 Natural to expect. friends of Pope NJ. Long, state chairman, the defeat ed aspirant for the marshalship, will assist in fight to block kennamers s confirmation, claiming that 1t is un- precedented for two brothers to hold high offes in the same district, and that Long is not only the republican leader in the state but that he has re- ceived the indorsement of a majority of the executive committeeman and their constituency. Mir. Long was in Birmingham yesterday but reclined to make any statement rega rding the appointment, indications are that no small stir had been created in the Long faction.

and suburbs. 1t was asserted that the improvements were almost past com prehension and belief; that there vera homes here which from the stand' point of beauty and attractive sur roundings and panoramic views which they command, will compare favorably with those of any city tu the United States. Tn this counec' tion. he said Birmingham is knowa far and wide as a great industrial city but In my opinion 1t Is mat ter of only short time until 1t will be known as one of the most beauti. full residential cities in the country,
 The work done in street paving and road building was also noted, which the visitor referred to as very different to that done in earlier days an improvement which seemed to inn press him most favorably and pleas- antly
 Reflects Enterprise
 In comparing the Birmingham ot today with that of 1914, when one reflects that all these things have been. done during period when there have been greater world dis turbances than at any other period in modern history, 1t is not difficult to visualize the great city it is sure to be by the time the 1880 census is taken.
 q eame to Birmingham in 1Sse and remember very clearly the great real estate movement we had then and the rosy predictions that were made at that time by some of tho pioneers and others who were car ried away with the spirit of the great boom. These predictions have for the most part been fulfilled and some of the most extravagant dreams of those days, while they have not yet been developed into realities, are now not only possibilities but prob- abilities of the near future he de- clared.
 On Solid Foundation.
 Governor Harding pointed out that Birmingham has experienced the growing pains of youth and all the ailments of childhood and rests now on a solid,i foundation. Its growth henceforth should be- healthy and continuous and while in some years the development will be more marked than in others, looking over the ten year periods, it's past records will be repeated for many decades to come" he asserted.
 ism, Governor Harding said. There are few communities anywhere which were so little affected by the post. war, depression. but l do not know of any city where the recovery has been more rapid and complete as Birmingham.'
