 All of us must forget that we arc from Montgomery, Birmingham, Mo bile and other cities and boost the state as whole,' said Mir.

That's why we called this meeting. to find out if you county chairmen were going to support us In every way possible. We want you county as possible. Your quota will be told you, and we will get what we can from the large industries ant railroads in the state. What comes from the county will be used in ad- Vertising that county after Alabama has been advertised on the money raised at large in the state."
