HANGS UP RECORD
 AT ANNIVERSARY SALE BY DRENNEN
tContInued from Page One

Is accounted for In the increased quality of our merchandise, suplied to fit the demand. We have made it worth while to our customers to keep their patronage in Birmingham.
 An immense number of working women, buying women we have found. read the morning paper. Right here I would like to say there Is no intention to disparage the evening publications, they are splendid med iums for reaching the public and we intend to continue to use them as we have for years, but the immediate and gratifying, not to say astounding, results fe have had since placing the bulk of our advertising in the morn ing pd2er convlnces our department heads and myself that we are using the best judgment in our present ad- vertisement placing policy.
 Another source of qualification to our firm Is the introduction of new business from distant points. To this improvement no little credit is due the automobile publicly and private lv owned. Where six or seven years ago a customer from point five miles away was unusual, 1t Is daily occurrence these days to recognize patrons who live in the far corners of the county. Here again the women buyers are In evidence. They drive their own cars into town and do their shopping"

 Appeal To Business Men.
 MT. Drennen is not only convinced of the immense advantage of morn ing newspaper advertising through his own experience but by the well known arguments which are so po- tent with other merchants all over the country at the present time. These men know and realize that morning newspapers are read by per sons whose minds after night rest are alert and responsive; that advertisers benefit by the optimtslc point of view of human minds at the beginning of the day; that large percentage of the circulation is dis tributed directly into the home ana has an all-d day value. The morning newspaper circulation is fixed quantity not affected by the enthu- sissm of the newsboy, the weather or the prevailing sensation; its con tents are prepared with the greatest care and thoroughness; 1t is a re- mort and lecord-not bulletin; its circulation is not duplicated by succeeding editions and the morning newspaper is issued not for the en- tertainment and diversion of read CTS, but to give all the news ot the q

 "The dissenting opinion declared that the trade union ethics Involved in the course thus pursued by the representatives of the employees are beyond the understanding of certain of those voting for this decision.

Headings on the part of others of the chief execu tive's personal party, including the admt nitions of Brigadier General Sawyer, the Presidents physician and friend, it was learned, had failed to convince him that he must sur render to sickness the pleasures of meeting the people along the line of travel and must let them know of his ailment
 Spokesmen of the party said the President unquestionably would have proceeded further with the trip than San Francisco, fulfilling speaking engagements and lending himself to arrangements made for him, as he did in Seattle, Wash, had 1t not been for Mrs. Harding's standpat oppt- sition. She. too, was anxious the program and, with the President, was reluctant to disapoint the thou sands of persons who had travelled far from their homes to the cities where the President was scheduled to appear.
 Did Not Think Condition Serious.
 It was Mrs Harding's argument that it would be better for the chief executivefto halt in San Francisco and cancel the advance itinerary than 1t would be to continue the journey and risk the consequenSes of continued travels under the prevail ing circumstances. The logic of this plea compelled the President to yield but only after he had steadily re- fused, in talk with Dr. Sawyer, and Secretary Work also physician. to permit the announcement to be made that the program was to be can celed.
 During the time these discussions were in progress, from Saturday to Sunday morning, none of the Pres idents party suspected his illness would be complicated or become more serious. It was generally be- lieved that the slight attack Of ptomaine poisoning would be over come by a day or two of rest in San Francisco and the President would be recovered sufficiently by Tuesday to go through with the arrangements in San Francisco that day and Wednesday.

 most threatening complication Was l the "cedematous condition of the | lungs" which made it's appearance ] during the afternoon. He announced that X-ray photographs had been taken with the aid of which he l hoped to be able to ascertain by morning or sometime tomorrow whether there might be an inflam- nation of a grave nature. | At the present time, General
 Sawyer said there is in progress a l battle the resisting forces of the l patient which he said had been weak l ened because of the trying exer- l tions attending his travels, and the

 Mr. Sollie said We have been permitted to learn of only one thing In the new code" and that the code committee proposed to permit tax officers to obtain railroad passes ' He continued:
 We have tried out the practice of allowing officers railroad passes Apart from reconstruction days, that experience brought the darkest period in our state history. during which a legislative expert, guarding the interests of railroads, constantly sat in the rotunda of the capitol dur ing legislative sessions and Wielded an inflpence akin to that of Bismark in Germany"
 He declared that if other changes made by the committee are as bad as the one already known, he will op- pose them all. He said he had read every change made in the code of 1907 in less than three hours last week and was convinced that the changes made In the draft of the code now pending for adoption could be printed and placed before the mem- bers in short time.

 Felix Drennen termed the proposed deal sacrifice, worth making only if the city hall and court house are placed in the same building.

A comprehensive building where the present court house now stands. out to the side walks, if necessary, and with enough room to transact the business of such an institution. is desirable"
 Among those who were heartily in favor of new court house building, but who did not discuss the new site to any appreciable degree, were John W. Altman, Judge Joe C. Hail. w. B.
