Mississippi Senator Urges
 Delegation For UnderUood
Says People Should Join With Sister State Of Alabama In Endorsing True
 Progressive

JACKSON, Miss, March 14.--(Spe- cial. )--State Senator Harden Brooks, in discussing the choice of Mississippi democracy for the presidential nomina- ton had the following to say:
 'The recent presidential preferential primary in Alabama has set at rest sAlabama's position and attitude as to Oscar Underwood. .s
 Insofar as I am concerned, have changed my mind about the attitude of the democratic convention of the state in sending an uninstructed delegation from Mississippi to the New York con- vention. It was my Idea at first that the state should select representa- tive democrat to represent democracy at the national convention. I thought that the convention should express it's confidence in Underwood and give approval to his candidacy and in the main select delegates who would be favorable to him but leave the dele gates with free hand to vote as their conscience and judgment dictated.
 T have changed my view about it. l think that on account of the geo. graphical position which Mississippi oc- cupies, related to Alabama by ties of blood and heritage and tradition, that the delegates from Mississippi should go to the convention instructed to

FAIRGROUNDS SOLD
 FOR COTTON MILL

ANDALUSIA, Ala, March 14.- Especial Leased re.)-Special sur vey will begin at once on the An dalusia fair grounds site follow ing the acceptance this morning by the board of directors of Andalusia cotton mills, of the offer for the Fair association to sell all real estate build ings, electrical and water fixtures and connections, fences and an open ac- counts payable to the Fair association of approximately $1 1,500 for the sum of $21, ,75O.
 This action at the meeting of the Cotton Mill directors this morning was taken after a revision of the original offer of the Fair association had been made and other details worked out.
 Approximately $80,000 has been in- vested in the fair grounds by stock holders since the purchase of the orig inal site.
 At the meeting today, the firm of Roberts & Go. of Atlanta was em- ployed as engineers through their rep resenta tive, Mir. Shelton, who has been in conference with members of the board this week and the work of mak- ing a survey of this land is to start at once, according to the officers, of the new cotton mill.

vote for Underwood. In addition to these reasons, there are other facts demanding the nomination of Mir. Un- derwood, which are unanswerable.
 Underwood is a true progressive. He stands every test. He meets every requirement and would be one of our great presidents. He is evenly balanced between impetuosity and stolidity be- tween stubborness and vacillation be- tween the reactionary and the radical. He has been alive to the constantly developing state of our civilization and has always been ready to adopt new methods of dealing with problems as they arose. He has never been a dema- gogue and he has never cheapened himself, his party, or his country by substituting temporarily popular re- forms for the real essence of democracy. He has a fertile brain, directed by years of study and experience in government al affairs and his heart beats true to the best interest of the public. He has courage, imagination and firmness in every sense of the word and as has been so splendidly said of him, he is democracy's greatest asset, and the nations greatest hope.
 Il sincerely hope that Mississippi will instruct her delegates to vote for him at New the York convention as long as his name is before the con- vention."

SILHOUETTES.
 OF CAPITAL
tsTATE CAPITAL BUREAU)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, March IA Of the various kinds and types of visi- tors from over the state who call at the capitol, there is one which is easily recognized, and noticeably distinct from the rest. Individuals of the type re- ferred to are of the sort who breeze, rather than drop into their converse tion which abounds with talk of sat sumas, salt, water, rich Yankees and fish; they are fond of dealing in the marvellous. in fact, it is impossible for them to talk long without referring to things strange and wonderful, to the rest of the state. They are distinguished by an unquenchable optimism, based on the possession of a heritage which is described as land possessed of those advantages claimed by California and Florida, with more added. In short, the visitors referred to are from Bald win county, which bids fair to vie with historic Barbour in the proud claim to rank as one of the grand divisions of Alabama.
 Baldwn county's sGtsuma groves are declared by her citizens to constitute a horticultural treasure surpassing the orange groves of either the land of Ponce de Leon or the forty-niners. Her eli mate is devoid of extremes of heat and cold. Her fisheries-well, a Baldwin county citizen at the capitol today told how recently a party of fishermen at Magnolia Springs, with hook and line caught over a thousand red fish and speckled trout, in single day within radius of 90 yards.
 A golf course which is heralded as the most wonderful in it's natural ad. vantages of any in America, is located within her borders, and the county is destined to become the playgrourN of Alabama, with a steadily increasing patronage of lovers of outdoor sports from northern climes.
 What do you regard as the outstand ing characteristic of citizens of Bald win county?" was asked today of a prominent capitol official, who has seer many of them, after the audience had listened to a Baldwinian enthuse over the marvels of Alabama's Riviera. "Exaggerating about satsumas and fish, was the reply of the official, the quotation being slightly altered from his exact remarks.
