With this week the last one of the greatest credit gaining opportunity in The Age Herald's "50, ,00O Club" campaign wherein eight handsome automobiles are given away free, Monday is expected to bring a rec ord breaking quota of new entries eager to take advantage of the op- portunity to place themselves high up among the leaders in the race for the eight automobiles which top the big "50,000 Club" offer.
 The cool weather the last few days is proving a blessing for contestants, who are getting out in a really earn est quest for subscription orders and credits with which to win their cars. Every minute will count during the coming days, for the new entrants are vigorous and enthusiastic in the race for credits and are breaking into the lead in many of the districts.
 The real value of the great awards which The Age Herald will give away on August IS becomes more ap- parent. too, with the coming of the typical motoring weather which has existed in Birmingham for the last few days. Effort which will result in the ownership of one of the splen- did automobiles becomes even easier when the enjoyment and pleas ure which one of the cars will bring become so readily apparent.
 Immediate action in the campaign is particularly fruitful in dividends

 BLOCKING TRAFFIC

Holly Mott, negro, making the run from Chattanooga to Birming- ham Sunday night on Alabama Great Southern train No. 21, was one DOT ter to whom a kick" meant some thing more than a word descriptive Cg certain Illicit beverages when he arrived in Birmingham one hour behind schedule.
 Holly, with other members of the train crew. was attempting to ex- trcate a horse from a trestle, on which 1t had fallen between Springville and Irondale, after try ing to be pace-maker for the train into Birmingham. The train had stopped to prevent injury to the horse.
 Mott bold knight errant that he was, grasped one of the animal 5 rear pedal eXtremities and yanked. The equine proved a better result getter than Holly and planted a roof alongside the negro's head. Needless to say, charitable though ss went shuffling off. Other members of the crew acted the Good Samari- tan to the horse, the train proceeded and Holly eventually received med ical treatment at St. Vincnets hos pital and was sent home.
 He will probably tell the curious ones Monday that Shelby county has rival in that St. Clair county horse.
