No Check to Our Prosperity

The faliciousness of the idea that pre- vailed so generally that war with Spain would seriously interfere with the pros perity of this country is being shown in many ways daily.
 There is probably no more deservedly pop ular and consequently prosperous financial institution in Birmingham than the Ala bama Home Building and Loan association. A visit to their handsome office. In the Ala bama National bank building gives one tangible evidence of the thriftiness of the association as well as the taste and pro- gressiveness of MT. w. V. M. Robertson, it's general manager.
 He has just had the place decorated so handsomely that the patrons of the asso- citation scarcely recognize the place. The walls are hung with an exquisite blue press ed paper, the same pattern and cooring as was recently hung in one of the main rooms of the White House in Washington. The woodwork of the room has been grained in a perfect imitation of quarter-sawed oak, probably as fine job of graining as was ever done in this city. It is almost unnec- essary to add that both the decoration of the walls and the finishing of the wood- work was done by w. D. Colby's able force of decorators.

 STILL 400 SHORT Southern Portion of the State Is

 Face of Peril, When the Na-

TOO MUCH INDIFFERENCE
Special Dispatch to The Age Herald.

Special Dispatch to The Age Herald.
 Mobile, May H.-Although still lacking 400 men to fill up company quotas, Colonel Cox believes that the Second Alabama will be ready for final muster in week.
 Mobile and the southern portion of the state from which this regiment is sup posed to be made up is severely criticised for its indifference. Less than hundred Mobilians are found in the four compa- nies representing this city, and today when the Gulf City Guards, the fourth company of the second to muster in, fif- teen North Alabama men were on the rolls.
 The Birmingham district has over 700 in the First regiment.
 Two important gaps in the prompt or ganization of Alabama's quota-two regi- ments and battalion under the volunteer rcall, were decided today, though no off, cial announcement has yet been made.
 The extra battalion, composed of four companies of negroes, have been accepted by the president and they are expected to reach camp by Tuesday of next week. expected here to complete the regiment. The commissiond officers will be white men, unquestionably, and among army men 1t is believed that the colonel and staff will be appointed from the regulars.
 The other gap is filled by the acceptance of the twelfth company to complete the

in charge of an ablier, more energetic, or
 more vigorous leader. The fight will be
 forced from the outset. and there can be
 no doubt that it will be brilliant.
 MT. Lowe is the youngest man who ever
 occupied the position which the state con-
 vention conferred upon him, and he won
 1t by force of personal merit and his extra
 ordinary capacity as political organizer
 and mahageer. This is a great year for him.
 Under his management Mir. J. P. Stiles won
 the party nomination for the probate
 judgeship of Jefferson, the most lucrative
 office in the state, with the possible excep-
 ton of the shrievalty of the same county.
 He led the fight for Mcclellan delegation
 to the state convention, and so brilliant
 was his leadership that the county conven-
 tion made him chairman of the county
 committee without any opposition, alt ough
 there were 16O Coleman men on the floor. In the state convention he led the Me Ciellan forces and Judge Mcclellan was nominated for chief justice by exclamation, whereupon the convention made MT. Lowe state chairman.
 Personally. Mr. Lowe is one of the most agreeable men in all the land. He is 36 years of age, and while he has gained wisdom he has not lost the good spirit and good fellowship of youth. He is as amiabie as a child ought to be, and morally and physically no man surpasses him in cour- age. He Is strikingly handsome and ap- | pears to be quite unaware or the Idcl II he hadn't but dime In the world five | cents of that would go to a friend who needed it. and If any friend of his had a | fight of any sort Bob" Lowe would stand | by him. As political debater he probably | has no equal in this state. and intellectually | he Is the peer of the ablest among us. His | power of good-humored invective and rep l artee and ready wit Is remarkable.
 His brilliant audacity is fascinating, and | as an orator he charms all who listen. His
 devotion to his friends passes belief and l small wonder that all of them love him, as | all his opponents respect him. He is on l the threshold of a public life remarkably 1 promising, and the world applauds-cheers | a bright, strong young man, who Is without ! guile and without fear.
 | There is talk to the effect that MT. Hem ] ry B. Gray will be chosen to conduct the l paign. MT. Gray is an intimate personal | friend of MT. Lowe, and is the most prom
 ising and influential of thesyoung business | men of Birmingham. Formerly he was a | journalist of acknowledged ability but he l has learned something better. He Is a | banker now, and a very able one. and no l one stands higher in the estimation of the
 business public of Birmingham. He is an
 alderman of the city, and that Is the only i political office he ever held. He has just 1 turned thirty, but is wise in counsel and is | a power in city and county affairs. Keen i and alert in business, faithful and unwav-

THE SPANISH QUALIFICATIONS IN CUBA.

Second Alabama. It Is stated on good au- thority that this company will come from uniontown and Demopolis national guard commands, and w. J. Walden, former sec- retary to Governor Oates, will be captain.
 Under the rigid physical examination DO per cent of the applicants being rejected, the First Alabama is still short twenty five recruits to fill the last company Cap- tain Kennedy and Major Kyle are expected to arrive with the necessary number tomor- row.
 Today the First and Second infantry, Texas volunteers, arrived at General Cop pinger's camp and the United States cav airy from New Orleans is due on the trans port steamer Arizona. They will increase the forces gathered here to over eight Oneita arrived late this evening and it is reported that she will be loaded with war material, seven car loads consigned to General R. Rodriguez, in Cuba.
 For awhile it was thought by members of the First Alabama that serious devel- opments would follow yesterdays inci- dent, involving Captain Kennedy of the Jefferson Volunteers, and Smith Fuller, of the Huey Guards.
 Today it is stated however, that the matter has been dropped finally by the friends of MT. Fuller who were at first inclined to make the encounter the sub ject for courtmartial proceedings instead of an informal inquiry.
 Now that the matter has been settled. officers and men are more willing to talk than they were at first and today the con census of opinion over the affair is this: Captain Kennedy acted hastily, but with no intention tf overstepping the legal functions of an officer on duty nor of hurting any one.
 Captain Kennedy, it will be borne in mind, was officer of the day, and had in charge a squad which had been summoned to ar rest some crap shooters While marching along with sword drawn Kennedy and his squad confronted crowd of soldiecs stand ing in a company street and unintentionally blocking the street. The captain called out to them to clear the way, and as he did so waved his sword in front of him, striking MT. Fuller.
 Captain Kennedy is one of the best young officers in Alabama, and Mir. Fuller is we'll known and liked among his comrades. The friends of both officer and private regret the occurrence
