!Doily Sees and Studies Some
“Types" at the Union Station
By DOLLY DALRYMI'LE
I f OOK!" exclaimed Susie Damn, as we
| stood In the big spacious "wait
ing room" at the Union station the j
other daV. whither we had gone to meet j
some friends who were expected on an j
early morning train. "There’s no mistak
ing the relationship but the second gen
eration has outrun the first.”
Folowing her glance 1 beheld a languid
looking blonde In the act of saluting a
plainly dressed woman whose failed eyes
brightened at the sight of her stylish
daughter. 1 forgave her everything—the
bizarre costume, the cheap willow plume,
even the chewing gum—as 1 saw the an
swering light In the eye of the home
comer.
"She's safe as long as she can look at
her mother like that," Susie Damn said,
turning to me, and I agreed with her.
The "Union station," always Interesting,
is doubly so these days, as Susie Damn
and I found out the morning we were
there, for there is such a big increase
In travel, people going away for the sum
mer, taking advantage of “cheap summer
rates." and all that sort of thing, peo
ple returning from vacation trips—nearly
every “type" in the category of curiosi
ties can be seen sooner or later, and af
body can spend a most deliciously amus
ing hour there at any time.
Families being united, porters scurry
ing ’round carrying golf sticks and suit
cases, with a benevolent air of blessing
the universe generally, children chasing;'
each other about with delightful aban- j
don, and elegant looking travelers, fitted 1
and garbed out in the latest style, all .
on exhibition.
“I think the fat gentleman in the palm '
beach suit is waiting for his wife who j
has probably been In New York spending j
his hard earned money for him," Susie j
Damn guessed, as she indicated by a nod
of the head a conspicuous old “gent"
fanning himself with his Panama hat,
and for a moment being dazzled by a pret
ty bit of feminity rushing into his arms
and kissing him loudly upon the cheek.
“I'm so glad to get home," she shrilled.
"How are the children? Are the (lowers
doing nicely? How i.s the vegetable gar
den and is the cat still fat and happy?
Verily, Susie Damn guessed right the
very first time, for it was Mrs. Wifey,
peradventure without a doubt.
It is easy to "spot" a stranger within
our gates on account of his air of inde
cision and uncertainty.
Dotted in among the vast throngs that
go in ami out the gates we see familiar
faces—people we know and like, but even
so, among the others there is such an tin- i
mistakable air of good fellowship that
pervades the place that we excused our
intellect in the different individuals that
make up the throng.
We are held spellbound by the account
of some returning traveler who is telling
about the wonderful delights of the moun
tain resort from which she has just re
turned, and our interest can hardly be
called eavesdropping.
"Relieve me, I never had such a good
time in all my life,” says the flossy figure
in navy blue. “There was something to
do every single blessed minute and the
nicest men 1 ever saw and just oddles !
of them were there. We played golf all
day. danced 'way into the middle of the
night, and we had the bestest things to
eat—fried chicken and corn on cob, hot
rolls, and all sorts of goodies. Tennis,
boating. Gee! I hated to come home.”
“Don't you wish you knew the name of
that summer resort, where all that gran
deur abounds?" Susie Damn asked seri
ously. "if there was any way of Intro
ducing myself to that enthusiastic sum
mer resorter, or even to the tanned youth
who is with her, I'd do it. Summer re
sorts ^pell eternal boredom to me and
I'd really like to get the name of one
that was worth while, all that the highly
colored folders and literature they send
out, claim that they are. Most of them

where now it receives $1. the commis
sioners feel certain that the* total sum
will be sufficient. The bill provides, too.
that the city government shall be oper
ated within its Income, and that if more
money is expended than is received, thi
officials will be subject to legal prose

The judiciary committee, before which
the municipal bill is pending, granted

relate the fact that it was advised by
the committee of 100 citizens which
carefully investigated the condition of
the city, and that the people of Birming

visions.
The meeting of the local delegation
with city authorities Friday will he ex

interested will be given the right to
appear. The city authorities are cer
tain that as soon as the legislature is
apprised of the urgent necessity of the
bill, it will be enacted into law.
TALLADEGA '
Hunk Resource* Given—Overrules mo
tion for Rehearing—>l«y Kstnhlish
Park
Talladega. July 5. — (Cpecial.)
The recently published statements of
two national banks in Talladega show
resources to the amount of $1,331,000.
This does not include the state bank
located here.
One of the last orders made by City
Judge Simms before entering on the
two months’ vacation of his court was
to overrule a motion for a rehearing in
the case of Dora Jordan vs. Western
Union Telegraph company, a damage
suit for failure to deliver a message
as to death. The telegraph company
had won the suit before ihe jury so
that Judge Simms’ action left the com
pany still a winner. The court ad
journed for two months, beginning
July 1.
There is a movement on foot to es
tablish a park at the Southern pas
senger depot for people who have to
wait for the coming of the trains. As
yet the mater is not in a condition to
definitely determine what action will
be taken, but it is quite likely that
this spot near the depot will be beau
tified and used as a park.

“I don’t believe a word that anybody

'In. Thomas Lecture* on Illiteracy.
Italian* on Way Here to F.nlNt
Sheffield, July 6.— < Special.)—Mrs. E.
D. Thomas of Greenville, who is tour
ing the state in the interest of the
illiteracy campaign, lectured at the
First Methodist church, Florence, this
afternoon. Mrs. Thomas is an unusually
interesting #speaker and Is very cn- *
thusiastic over the important subject
of illiteracy in the state. A large crowd
heard her, many from Sheffield and
Tuscumbia being present. ^
Several Italians have been in Shef
field p issing through Memphis and oth
er points, walking to Birmingham, at
which point they will sign enlistment
papers and leave thence for the Eu
ropean battlefields. One of the Italians
fought in the Italian wah of 1911 and

FARMERS’ INSTITUTE
HELD AT EUFAULA
Eufanla, July (Special.)—A largely
attended farmers’ institute was held here
today at the courthouse, being conducted
by Dr. C. C. (’ary and other educators
from Aubtirn. Farmers were present
from all parts of the county, some even
coming from neighboring Quitman county,
Georgia. The advantages of diversified
farming was the chief subject of the day’s i
discussion. Much attention was also paid *
to live stock and crops, which are little
raised in this section. It is expected that ,
next year will see an even greater diver- \
slfication of crops in Barbour county than
last year, as the boll weevil will reach
the western part of the county in num
bers at that time.
