TENNESSEE VALLEY BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD + Decatur Ala Oct 22

The Lyons hotel. exclusive of its annex, has been sold by MT. and Mrs. w. k. McNeil to H. D. Bynum of Courtland, Ala, it was announced Monday by T. D. Pride, local realty dealer. The exact consideration was not made public but was said to be approximately $10o,o0o cash. The Lyons was erected in 1913 and at the time was considered one of the most modern hotels in the state. Its open ing brought together 6 large com pany of notables. As the business of the institution grew 1t was found necessary to erect a large annex to the original building. The annex Is the property of the Lyons Hotel Op- erating company, 1t was stated, and is not effected by the sale of the main building.
 The management of the hotel is not effected by the Bynum purchase. There is lease upon the building which has several years yet to be enforced. The sale was the largest realty transaction made here In years.

Both officially and in his own right
he is indeed one of the country's
many years since Mr.. Taft first came
to Washington. Washington watch

political career eliminated where 1t
was confidently expected it would

And then when that tour of duty
was ended-when the race had been
faithfully run against some of the
greatest obstacles ever placed in a
Presidents path-and it seemed
that Mr.. Taft was to bid Washington
goodbye. the volunteer tasks he as
sumed during the great war brought
him back.
1t was Warren Harding, however,
who assured to Washington the re-

But the counsel of Roosevelt and
of others upon whom he leaned pre-
vailed and Mr.. Taft went In course of
time to the White House. 1t seemed
then that the doors of the Supreme
Court had been closed to him. War
rem Harding opened them. And so
today Mr.. Taft bowed his head in
grateful tribute.
And Woodrow Wilson! He rode
with the wife who has scarcely left
his side in the four long years since
he was stricken-stricken as he

he thought 1t should go, as he

bitterly attacked the league of ma

never enter the league, "by side door,

DIVERSIFIED BILL. HITCHCOCK, B|JOU .AT LOENPS B|JOU.FEATU URE FORNEEk
Famous Comedian To Appear In Person At LoeW's On
 Monday

Raymond Hitchcock, world fla nous comedian, is looking forward to his visit to Birmingham when he comes to Loews Bijou for the week of Monday, July 23, with keen an ticipation. He has travelled almost all over America in the course of his 30 years before the public, yet it happened that he has never before been through this portion of the south. He has heard a great deal of southern hospitality, and it is ear nestly hoped that it will become a tangible thing when he appears at Loew's
 In the many years in which Hitch ctck has been a star the world has heard of him, yet a comparatively few cities have seen him. The great stage stars rarely appear outside of the key cities of the north, for they find it more profitable to make long runs in New York. Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia, with its attendant saving in railroad fares, than to travel south or far west. Hitch cock made his last long tour 10 years ago, when he went to the Pacific coast with The Red Widow" and since then has appeared in compara- lively few cities.
 Local Loew audiences are in for some rare gems of wit and scintillat- ing humor when Hitchcock appears here. The blonde comedian is noted for his ssllies Cf wit, and his dry style of comedy. He has developed through the years an amazing abil- ity to become intimate with his au- diences, and will be quite chummy and confidential, though always funny

Feature PhotogpIay And Vaudeville Offering For
 Last Half

For the second half of this week beginning Thursday afternoon, there is an unusually diversified vaude- vine bill announced at Loew's Bijou, including as feature extraordinary the appearance of the eminent actor and writer, Edward Clark, who will be assisted by Clarissa Rose Clark in character impressions and musical features, all said to be of high, artistic order.
 MT Clark is probably best known as the author of "De Lux Annie" Honey Girl" Grinders" Yours in LLve," and other recent hits, and will have some of his latest ready for the large audiences expected at Loew's during the second half of the week.
 Other acts on this unusual bill in clude the trio known as Howard and the Scott Sisters, in a revue of char acter dance specialties, and Wilson and Kelly, known as "The Happy Saps," in comedy chatter, with songs and fancy steps.
 By way of another musical spe- cialty act Ardelle Cleaves, late star of "Somebldy's Sweetheart" will of- fer revue of songs and violin se- lections and delightful musical mo- mentss and by way of balancing" the bill, Kafa and Stanley sensa- tionaI gymnasts, said to reach the limits of human daring and endur- auce will have some new thrills.
 What critics term an excellent story, exquisite outdoor scenes and fine acting mark The Buster,' the latest William Fox production star ring Dustin Farnum, which will be the additional screen feature offering at Loew's Bijou during the second half of this week. A melodramatic vehicle of unusual power Is here given the famous Fox star, and his work attests the suitableness of his histrtonic characteristics to comply with the demands of the role as- signed him. Farnum is called upon to be the patronizing, yet stern, tanner of & New York society belle. Doris Pawn, in the feminine lead as the girl to be shaken from her wilfulness and temperament, acquits herself creditably. Together they form team of excellent performers l in a picture of romance, action and | thrills

Smith Tells Rotary Club Some Facts Of Great Local
 Industry

Cotton Ginning Machinery: Its Manufacture and Distribution" was the subject of an address before the Birmingham Rotary club Wednesday at its regular weekly luncheon by A. F. Smith of the Continental Gin company. MT. Smith told of the or ganization of the company and the field it's sales cover.
 Birmingham has been the home of this company since it was organ ized and we regularly ship Birming- ham made machines to many foreign countries including Spain, Africa, South America, Central America, Mexico. Russia, Portugal and China.
 Our domestic trade consists of all the southern states from California to Virginia and there is not a coun- ty in these states where we are not known and have not placed ma chimes"
 Mir. Smith outlined the growth of the gin from it's invention by Eli Whitney to the present day. He paid warm tribute to the late R. S. Munger of Birmingham, one of the founders of the Continental Gin com pany and the inventor of several improvements on the gin.
 It is the intention of the Rotary club to present members engaged in different lines of business in Bir- mingham at each meeting in order to let each member know something about the. business of the other mem bers.
 W. Carson Adams, president of the club, presided over the luncheon and introduced the speaker. Miss Made liene Jacobs, daughter of MT and Mrs. Solon Jacobs, rendered two vo- cal selections at the opening of the program and won extended applause

City Proceeds To Check Signatures And Will As-

Request of the jitney operators that Judge William Walker reinstate the temporary injunction against the enforcement Of the cNy's new jitney ordinance until the ordinance has been submitted to the people for a vote was refused Wednesday after noon by Judge Walker. Accordingly the jitneys will not operate on the streets of Birmingham after July 22 unless the public votes favorably when the ordinance drafted by the iitney operators is put up for eIec- Sien
 It was stated that it might be from 30 to SO days before the cleo tion could be held.
 Attorneys W. J. Wynn and ". A. Jenkins for the city appeared before Judge Walker "Wednesday morning and argued against the reinstate- ment of the temporary injunction, while James Weath erly and J. c. Prosch, attorneys for the jitney op- orators, made the argument for its reinstatement.
 pleaded that 1t would be unjust to force the jitneys to quit operating on July 22 when there was likelihood that the people would vote favorably on the ordinance They asked that the temporary injunction be rein stated until the election had been held in order not to deprive the op- orators of their vocation until the question had been finally settled
 Judge Walker took the matter un- der consideration at noon and an nounced his decision shortly after 5 o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
 Recently Judge Walker granted the jitney operators temporary in- junction and later dissolved it after hearing the city's side of the ques- ticn.
