cleanest and most reliable aggrega-
ton of officers that has ever before
been enmassed in this one section
of the state" Solicitor Joseph R,
Tate said.
when an officer executes his
duty to the fullest extent, as he is
sworn to do when he takes office,
naturally he will be criticised by the
law-breaking element. Then, too,
some of the leading citizens of a
county or municipality will say
things about the officers that,
upon investigation, prove to be alb.
solutely groundless. do not mean
this as a reflection upon anyone.

He Likes Birmingham
There are three cities in the
United States that | call my own
home town. said DR.. Roy Z.
Weidler, dean of the University OF
Life, Los Angeles. "They are Les
Angeles, Birmingham, and MInnc-

that comes from harmonious vi

only regret that | cannot extend my

Birmingham Spirit
Birmingham certainly does
credit to herself as convention
city," said Westervelt Terhune, At
lanta branch manager for the Co
lumbia Graphophone company. eve
people in Atlanta pride ourselves on
the great Atlanta Spirit and
justly so. have been in Bi1rtmg-
ham many times during the past
few years, and l have observed a
great Improvement in what is truly
a Birmingham Spirit With the
U. d. c. convention in full swing,
and the Auburn Centre game bring
ing added attraction, Birmingham,

Judge Is Welcome
eve certainly do welcome the ar
rival of Judge S. F. Hobbs, Selma
who will assist Judge Fort and
Judge Heflin in the criminal divis-
ion of the circuit court" said For
ney W. Brandon, clerk of this
court. Judge Hobbs has assisted
us on several other occasions and
has done splendid. Chief Justice
Anderson has assigned him to this
bench for two weeks and during the
first week he will hear only state
cases. With the other judges hear
ing city appeal cases, / am begin

Roadway in clearing up our over
crowded docket"
Charmer, at U. D. c. Convention
ITO an old bachelor like myself,
the many beautiful women in Bir-
mingham during the u. d. c.. con-
vention were distracting," said L.
B. Musgrove. II came over from
Jasper last Monday and l had some
important business to attend to
during the week, but / was so fas-
cinated by the U. D. C.'s that
couldn't get away from the Tut
wiler, where the convention was
held. In fact, l had two notes at
the bank that were due and L didn' :
even have time to go and have them
renewed.
II hope the U. D. C.'s will come
often to Birmingham-all Of Them
Birmingham Suffers
"Birmingham's bad reputation
from criminal standpoint is partly
due to things that do not happen IN
Birmingham at ALL said f. j.
Cowart. whenever a murder oc-
ours anywhere within radius Of
20 or 25 miles around Birmingham
the state hears of it as having hap
pened in the city. That is unjust
to Birmingham, and frequently
have to refute arguments that Bir-
mingham is a criminal. lawless city,
because she has to suffer for crimes
for which she is not responsible"
