WITH THE RAILROADS.

The Alabama coal and iron regions are to be more thoroughly developed, and the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham railroad will do much in that direction. Concerning the proposed purchase of the Little Rock and Memphis by the Kansaa City, Fort Scott and Memphis the Daily Indicator says:
 The Kansas City, Fort Scott and Mem- phis railroad, owners of the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham, will, on April IT, buy the Little Rock and Memphis rail- road, to be sold by the decree of the court Texas by the southeast corner Of Indian territory. The Gould system will be the only other bidder, and will not stand stiff price, which the road mentioned above will give. The proposed purchase and ex- tension means much for the development of the Alabama coal region.
 LOOKING AFTER THE BOYS.
 Col. B. ". Wrenn is doing the nice thing for some of the boys who were under of general passenger agent of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia.
 After going with the Plant system as general passenger traffic manager the first move was to appoint MT. J. J. Farms worth division passenger agent, with head quarters in Savannah, Ga., and later on made him general eastern agent.
 Then MT. L. A. Bell was made division passenger agent at Montgomery, and only yesterday was 1t known here that he had appointed MT. w. V. Lifsey as district passenger agent at Savannah.
 MT. Lifsey has been city passenger agent of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor- gia for some time.
 The boys now wonder who the genial colonel will take next.

BRITISH vs. ALABAMA IRON.

It will be remember that last fall the British iron masters sent MT. Jeremiah Head to Birmingham to find out positively the cost of making iron in this district. Mir. Head is a well-known authority on subjects concerning the iron trade. When MT. Head returned to England it leaked out that his report was very favorable to this district, but nothing official was given out. In the last few days, however, MT. Jeremiah Head has given out the figures in full which he gathered while here. In the light of these figures it seems very appro- priate that the British iron men should send man here banned Jeremiah, for his report is prophecy of the complete failure

TEE Montgomery Advertiser varies it's eucidation of political and nduetria1 prob- lens by giving some advice on etiquette. It says a gentleman should follow a lady coming down the steps, and precede her going up. This may be the accepted rule in society. but it is poor rule. A gentle man is expected to be of assistance to a lady, and, therefore, he should place him self in that position in which he can render the greatest assistance. If he follows lady down the steps, especially if she weare A train, he must follow several steps distant, and can be of no assistance in case she trips and falls. If he precedes her, and holds her hand lightly iu his, he secures her safe descent. As long as the laws of gravitation draw downward aud not upward, gentle man should precede a lady coming down the steps.

THE LAST PROCES s
In the Printing of the Bonds Now Undergoing-Treasury Reserve ,.
 Climbing Upward.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.--The last process in the printing of the new bonds, that of numbering them, was begun today at the bureau of engraving and printing, and the first batch will be ready for delivery to the treasurer tomorrow or Thursday. Under the terms of the contract the treasury bears the expense of their delivery to all points within the United States, but not beyond the limits of the United States. So far the syndicate has not indicated when they de- sire the bonds delivered or where, aud they will be retained in the Urea sury un til such instruc tions are received.
 Whenever the syndicate indicate their desire, accompanying their instr uctons with the certificates of the gold they have deposited, bonds-registered or coupon of the denomination asked for will be forwarded where they desire. New York will probably receive the first batch of the new bonds this week. It is probable also the foreign allotment of the new bonds, transmitting the bonds direct from Wash iDgton to London, the syndicate paying the expense of their ocean transit.
 The treasury gold reserve has reached S76, IT., ,313 by reason of the gold received from the recent bond sale being taken up in the treasury cash accounts. The reserve is thus $35, 900, GOO greater today than it was on February 12, the date on which it reached the lowest point d since specie pay ments were resumed in 1879.
 So far the treasury has reaped from the Belmont Morgan syndicate $26, 1908, 124 in gold and issued to 1t certificates to the amount of S35, 139, 191. The amount actually carried to the treasury gold reserve fund was paid in as follows: Baltimore, $l04 494; New York, s19, ,566 ,s72; Philadel- phia, $104 ,494; Boston, $6l5, ,73I; San Fran cisco, q 1886, 229; banks, SIP, ,849 .5S0.

of Great Britain in competing with Bir- mingham iron.
 MT. Head made his report to the Middlese borough Chamber of Commerce. He started out by saying that he went to Birmingham, Ala, for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not the assertions so often made regarding the production of cheap iron there were founded on fact. and that he was fully satisfied on that score. He says pig iron is being made in Birmingham, ex- cluding debenture interest, for 24 shillings, 2 pence per ton, and sold at 26 shillings to 20 shillings f. O. b. at works, and in autumn No. 3 iron was selling at 26 shil- lngs, peuce, as against 34 5hillings, 3 peoce, the price of an equivalent iron in Mlddles borough, England, a difference of 8 shiIlings, pence in favor of Birming- nam, Ala. Iu forge irons the price at Bir- mingham was shilIings, 10 pence below the Cleveland, England, prices. Regard ing the quality of the Birmingham iron MT. Head says it is as good as the Middes- borough brands, and somewhat similar to Scotch. Referring to iron manufactures he says pipe foundry in the Birmingham district is producing pipes up to inches in diameter at f3 per ton of 2240 pounds, and shipping this product throughout the United states, Mexico, Canada and as far as Japan. The London Coal and Iron Trades Review, in editorial upon Mir. Heads report, makes the following fiatter- ing concession to Great Britain's American rival
 '' It is some considerable time since we pointed out that the threat of successful com petition in neutral markets on the part of the United States was not mere "bogey, but was likely in course of time to become stern realhy. We have good reason to know that the reality now comes nearer every day The paper which was read few days ago before the Middlesborough Chamber of Commerce by MT. Jeremiah H cad pointed in unmstaka- ble terms to the coming supremacy of the United States iu the manufacture of pig iron. It is true that we have not yet been flooded markets, but it is not at ali improbable that this event will happen by and by. The draw back to the success of the Alabama pig iron makers at the present time is the compara- lively high cost of transport. Whether land and ocean transport will in the future be re- duced sufficiently to enable a change to be made from this point of view is, of course, unsolyed problem, but the margin of shillings now in favor of Alabama pig must be increased considerably before we need fear the advent of that product on British soil to any extent worth speaking of

THE movement to induce farmers to cur tail their cotton crop may have the reverse effect from that intended. It may induce them to plant more cotton than they other- wise would. Each farmer thinks, "Well, if all the farmers planted as much cotton as they did last year it would only bring or cents pound, and I'll plant only half a crop; but now they have agreed to plant less and cotton will be sure to advance and now's the time for me to plant big crop.'

THE Coroner of Jefferson county ought to investigate the Pratt Mines horror of Sunday morning last. The lives of two human beings, helpless prisoners, were taken away. If the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway Company or its employees are blameless in the matter, justice to them de- mands that jury of inquest should SO de- clare. If any oue is to blame he or they should be held accou n table for it. If there ever was work for coroner this seems to be proper case for investigation. The public is mortified at an occurrence like this, and should be relieved of the impress sion that somebody is to blame.
