conference to establish a bet
ter and moro uniform means of GER
tification of delegates who wish to
take advantage of reduced railroad
rates to conventions will be held
Thursday between the Alabama pub
lie service commission and repre-
sentatives of carriers headed by w
H. Howard. chairman of the South
eastern passenger association. 1t
is stated that present requirements
necessary to be complied with by
delegates in order to take advantage
of low rates are often unsatisfactory
and cause inconvenience.
Another important conference for
wednesday is that of a special com
| mittee, headed by Commissioner
Frank P. Morgan and including rep
resentatives of the carriers and ship
pers, which was named some weeks
ago to make recommendations on the
matter of concentration privileges
| for cotton from Alabama producing
points to Alabama mills. 1t was
stated by representatives Of the Ala
bama farm bureau at an informal
hearing that while concentration and
reShipment privileges are allowed on
cotton from Alabama points to other
states such privileges are lacking
| within the state.
The commission Wednesday heard
and took under advisement the pc
tition of the Louisville & Nashville
railroad for an increase of 1924 to
IA cents per hundred pounds on creo-
sote oil from Birmingham to Mobile.
The railroad was represented by c.
D. Quinn, and Mobile interests by R.
G. Cobb. of the Mobile Chamber of
Commerce. 1t is claimed that the
raise is necessary to put Mobile on
parity with other gulf ports. The
commission continued until the July

found in compounds such as Ask
with-Ash-wood
Seemingly the name is pronounced
in one syllable when given the older
spelling and in two syllables when
spelled wyeth. The best known
member Of the family here was
George, who spelled the name
wythe. He wan born in Virginia tn
1926, was a delegate 20 the Con-
tinental Congress and speaker of

his biographical notice, that he was

Although the Wyeths were identi-
