A Popular Bond Issue.

Since it is almost an assured fact
that Wellington will be called upon
soon to vote tOnds for the purchase
and Improvement Of the waterworks
system and the construction of an
electric lighting and power plant, the
question Of a popular loan and the
probability Of the citizens OF We'll
lington subscribing for the entire
issue, becomes one Of absorbing iE-
terest.
The popular loan idea was ad-
vanced by Councilman Pitts at the
council meeting Monday night. He
thought it would be grand thing for
the people and a big advertisement
for the city if the entire proposed
issue about $4,000 could be taken by
home capitalists. The law says the
bonds shall not be issued in denomi-
nations of less than $40 nor more than
5000, and shall run for a period OF not
to exceed twenty years, and shall
bear interest at a rate not to exceed 6
per cent per annum.
There was on deposit in the three
banks Of Wellington, according to
their last published statements, S637,-
Ol209, subject to checks. This money
is lying more or less idle in the banksS
and drawing no interest. The entire
issue could easily be taken by people
living right here at home, and the
people would receive the interest on
the money as well as the benefit aris.
ing from municipal ownership. There
is hardly person in town who could
not become the owner of a bond o.
some denomination or other. The
bonds could be readily converted into
cash At any time TIER owners desire |
to part with them.
While the condition of the money
market in the east is such that bonds
can apparently be hJated at from 1 to |
) per cent, there is some question as
tC whether 'original" municipal own
erShip bonds at less than 5 per cent
would find a ready market. There
fore, there is little likelihood, 10 the
minds OF some, that bond issue can
be successfully flOated at less THAI 5
per cent. And if the bonds are to
bear . per cent interest, there is
no reason why the entire issue cannot
be sold to Wellington people.

IT WAS A NOTABLE EVENT
In Newspaper Circles of the State Luncheons and Receptions in Honor ofDistinguished Women-To Meet
 Next At Alabama's Capital.
BY ANNIE KENpRrcK WALKER

The Woman's Club presented a brilliant scene all of yesterday, thronged as 1t was with the visiting press women and the club members. The occasion. aside from it's i'm portance in the newspaper circles of the state, was of great interest from club point of view, and also from the charming social features that characterized many no- table gatherings.
 The Press Association was called to CT der by the president. Mrs. George c. Ball. After an impressive prayer by Rev. John G. Murray of the Church of the Advent, the president gave her address of welcome. She said
 Members of the Alabama Woman's Press
 Associations:
 To extend to you a welcome, cordial and sincere to this great city of Birmingham is more than an ordinary pleasure to me It is the delightful realization of a dream which has haunted me with its possibilities for many years.
 When the association was organized q lit tie more than twelve months ago at Mont gomery, great step forward was taken by that class of women who, by reason of their professional duties, come in immediate contact with the warm, pulsating heart of humanity, and which keep in touch with tn eelectric currents that move the world. It was fitting that this forward movement should take definite shape at Montgomery where so much of the history of our state has been made, and around which cluster the traditions of a proud and brilliant past The banding together of the newspaper women of Alabama, a radical measure though 1t was, was accomplished almost un- der the shadow of the old capitol, which had been reared when the state was young. To the other beautiful traditions of Mont gomery is now added the story of Ala bama women's development as manifested in the inauguration of the Womans Press Association.
 This second convention convenes in this busy, bustling iron city of Birmingham which has begun to grant to women what sex may demand.
 The men of this section have become ac- ceptive of the progress made by their wives, daughters and sweethearts- They have em- braced the inevitable--have yielded grace fully to the inroads upon their pet prerog- atives-and no longer do battle with the windmills of prejudice Ths convention should mean very much to each one of us. Outside of the advantages to be derived from personal contact mental friction and an interchange of varying views, there should result tremendous impetus to the work of the women Journalists of the state.
 Feminine journalism is no longer an ex- pertinent It is no longer to be reckoned according to rules that apply to beginners.
