/ ANNIsTON, Ala, July 5.--What is said to have been the most dazzling exhibition of fire works in north Ala bama in several years was staged last night at Camp Mcclellan with 10000 civilians and soldiers in attendance. This event marked the climax sto the Fourth of July celebration at the army post and in the city.
 The display was of such size that it covered an area of more than three square miles. It could be seen from any part of the reservation. However, the majority of spectators were group ed on n large hill adjacent to the hos tess house.
 A concert by crack military band was given at the opening of the eve ming program.
 At s :50 o'clock the sharp gun shot of a lone sentinel from wooded hill- side rang out and this was the signal for the starting of the exhibition. The first number was a re-enaetment of the Panl Revere ride graphically portrayed with. the varied fire works. The attack on covered wagon convoy and the scene of the forty miners" fighting the Indians, were also pictured.
 Interest was raised to its highest pitch by the duplication of battle in France. The scene was laid Ill typical ..no mans land" The roaring tanks led the drive and the crackle of the machine guns, added to the deafen- ing artillery gave the spectators close insight into the activities on the battle fileds in the recent war. The climax came when amid thousands of rockets, flares, stars and lights the American flag rose from utter darkness and way ed yictoriously and majecticaliy5 over the scene of the battle.

M'DUFFIE JOINS TAMMANY FEAST ----~---- Takes Part In Celebration In Which Smith Is
 Praised
(By Staff CorrespOndent)

NEW YORK CITY, July 5.-In a Tamn1any hall celebration yesterday, in which the constant and continuous laudation of the wet governor of New York was the characterizing feature, John McDuffie. congressman from the first district of Alabama, was star performer.
 He spoke from the platform on which Senator T. H. Carraway of Arkansas had just previously declared Governor Smith '.'the greatest governor in all the As states" a declaration which pre- cipitated deafening demonstration.
 While the celebration was ostensibly a Fourth of July celebration, it was in fact a gathering of the wet New York machine organization for the purpose of praising their candidate, Al Smith, and expressing the bitterness of their lost hope against the dry and progressive delegations in the convention, which had made the nomination of Al Smith next to impossible.
 It is generally recognized in. New York that the growing tiger of Tam many knows it's own, and that no man is invited to appear in its den who is not believed by it to be sympathetic with the things for which Tammany stands.
 In this connection, some of the Ala bama delegates recalled today that the association against the prohibition amendment, with headquarters in Washington, about two years ago in- cluded in n published list of its de- pendable friends, the name of Con- Kressn1an McDuffie.
