...post-payday drunk. George, substituting, tried to uncouple two cars of a moving train. His foot became wedged in a frog and stayed there. He wears to this day a peg leg; loses 1 in. of his 5-ft.-6-in. stature. He then tried teaching school, found it dull; managed a baseball team, found it unremunerative; worked as clerk in the Secretary of State's office in Springfield (the only political office he has ever held).

Then, full-throated, he said, "The astounding thing is that the figures of the Birmingham growth and development, of Atlanta's march ahead, of the strides in the Winston-Salem and Durham districts, check up. The claims made cannot be discounted nor the statements of the extraordinary expansion refuted. The rise in Birmingham's population from 35,000 in 1900 to 250,000 in 1926 tells...
