Competition may be the life of trade de
jure, but combination is the life of trade
de facto at the present writing. The sheet
iron and enameled ware manufacturers are
now engaged in uniting themselves into
an irresistible monopoly Nearly every
day, in fact, brings to light some great
movement of this kind.

BIRMINGHAM COTTON MILL
Mir. Trainer Says If His People Become Interested the Machinery Must Be
 the Latest Patent.

The Southern and Western Textile Elk celsior contains the following expression from President J. N. Trainer relative to the Birmingham cotton mill
 Concerning the Birmingham, Ala. tex tile mill project, in which the Trainers, of Chester. Pa. are the practical leaders. President J. N. Trainer, of the Patterson mills (Chester) writes the Textile Elk celsior to correct any impression that might exist about "in their removal there" On this point MT. Trainer says: We have no intention of moving south their present factories). If we ever be- come interested in a southern mill 1t will be new one, with all the modern ma- chinery and appliances. requisite to make that mill able to compete successfully with the very last mill that will be erect ed In other words. we never expect to become an interested party in any cot ton mill enterprise, no matter where 1t is, unless we feel sure the product can be manufactured just a little bit cheaper than the last fellow did it."

The "Prodigal Father'' furnishes an au- dience with any amount of fun and frolie. There are new pieces of the same order that are fuller of chances fora good com pany, and this production of "Prodigal Father" is in the hands of capable people. There is tramp, a policeman, a dude and a number of other people, all of whom are Indigenous to the soil of farce comedy, and. they keep at the fun-making from the beginning to the end of the performance. Of pretty girls there are five or six. Tn this beVy Miss Fair is the leader, and in d hoydenish. rollicking way she sets the pace for her lovely pIaymates. More than half the time the plot of the piece goes out of sight altogether and on it's ruins rises a host of performers with songs, dances and limitations. This part of the performance is entirely satisfac- tory. They appear at the opera house matinee and night Thursday, Jan. !.

Tn the issue of December 29, in which the reporter referred to some of the charred remains from the lamented and unfortunate wreck on Cahaba river bridge of the 27th ult., being beyond the skill of the young undertaken, he did not mean to convey the idea that Mir.

 The estimate of the joint committee of the general assembly was that the deficit on the 1st of January would be about S55S, ,06s.44 It is shown above to be S452,- 495.
 The Governor called on tax collectors of several of the largest counties to make partial remlttances of their December col lections duing the month, and also on others having state funds and the amount received under this request was about s10n, GOO. which shows that had not that amount been brought in by the Cover nor's action in advance of the regu ar days of payment the deficit would have been about $522. 495.
 The Governor arranged with the Amer ican Exchange National bank, the fiscal agent Of the state, to pay all coupon interests. about $20o,- GOO and hold the coupons until the money came into the treasury, at 3 per cent. interest, but he has shipped to Ne. York about S1350 000, SO that he will not have to borrow more than about s60, 0O0 and this for a short time.
