CLEARINGS FOR MONTH
Were the Largest Since July of u @
 Year 1891

The clearings of the Birmingham banks city has had since 1891, amounting to $3.144,941.2
 Compared with the corresponding month of last year, these clearing show an in- crease of over 100 per cent. In July, 1898, they were only S.,c34,6 ,662.41.
 Considering the number of banks. the clearings last month were the largest in the history of the city. It is true that the clearing house totals in 1890 and 1891 ex- ceeded those of last month. but then there were ten banks in the city, all of whose business went through the clearing house. But since then several of the banks have been consolidated or bought out. until now there are only seven banks. As is well much to do with the size of the clearings as the amount of business the banks do in- dividually.
 The following figures give the bank clear ings for the first seven months of this year, which show how we'll business is keeping up during the summer months.

ORATORICAL CONTEST
At Monteagle Was Won by w. L
 Noise

Last Friday at the Chautauqua in Mont eagle, Tenn, the annual intercollegiate oratorical contest between representatives of several of the southern colleges was held and was won by W. L. Noise, of Clemson college. South Carolina.
 Alabama's only representative was Thomas McAdory, of this county, who rep- resented Auburn. He Is described as mak- ing an excellent speech on "The Philip pines" Mir. McAdory won the inter-col- 1egiate oratorical contest between the col leges of Alabama at the Taliadega Chau- tauqua this summer, and is making quite a reputation for himself as speaker.
 John F. Frierson of the Southwestern Presbyterian university, at Gainesville. Tenn, spoke on Social Problems" Robin Adair. of the University of Georgia, had for his subject, "New America; Her Policy of Expansion"
 Mr. Noise, the winner, spoke on "The Scapegoat." This animal, he said, was one on which the ancient Israelites were &C., customed to blame all of their sins, and then drive it off into the woods. He com- pared the late Spanish war to this scape- goat and said that it had been the means of taking away most of the lingering an- imosities that existed between the south and north by reason of the civil war. It Is said to have been @ splendid oration and we'll received by the audience.
 MT. Noise is a young man only 1s years of age. and is of French-Jewish extraction. He is said to be not only speaker of great ability, but that he has also written sev- erai articles of great literary merit His friends have given to him the name of ''The Zangwill of America" Last Saturday MT. Noise was elected president of the Southern Intercollegiate Oratorical association.

AT EAST LAKE
Chapman-W arren Go. Made Big Hit in
 "A Kentucky Romance"

"A Kentucky Romance made hit, and no packed house ever enjoyed a. perform ance more thoroughly than the one that greeted the new Chapman-Warren con- pany at East Lake last night.
 Although a number of the performers were new to each other, and this was the initial performance, still everything went off exceedingly smooth. In fact better pleased audience never left a play house than the one that left East Lake last night when the curtain fell on the last act of "A Kentucky Romance"
 The play is an excellent one, and it was acted almost perfectly.
 Miss Warren was seen to decided advant- age and added more admirers to her al- ready large and growing list.
 MT. Chapman. MT. Gardner and the oth- CT members of the cast were all we'll placed.
 The Templetons, in illustrated songs, were good, and Miss Hart made a hit from the start In other words nothing better could be wished for.
 The performance hereafter will begin at S45 O clock, owing to the length of the pro- duction, in order to allow partons to make connection with the Il 80 o'clock crosstown cars. matinee will be given Saturday.

Advanced Again.

Another Rock Island boy who be-
gan his railroad career in Rock Island
has gone higher. George b. Simp,
son, who commenced in the c., b. &
@. office, is again heard from.
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat
brings this news of Mr. Simpson s
new advancement: George B. Simp-
son, general freight agent of the St.
Louis, Peoria q Northern, with head
quarters in this city, has been APP
pointed assistant general freight
agent of the Chicago e Alton, with
headquarters at Kansas City, succeed
ing S. II. Fulton, deceased. The APP
pointment is effective Aug. Is. Mr..
Simpson went TO the St. Louis, Peoria
q Northern three years since from the
Wabash general offices in this city,
and he is regarded as one of the best
hustlers for freight traffic in the west.
The St. Louis, Peoria & Northern was
recently absorbed by the Chicago syn
dictate, and its president and general
manager, Col. j. N. Faithorn. has
been elected vice president and gen.
eral manager of the Chicago Terminal
Transfer company. 1t is clearly the
intention of the Hartman manage
ment to take care of all the best ma
terial found in the management OF
the st. Louis, Peoria Il Northern, and
utilize the best talent and energy OF
that organization in positions on the
Alton and kindred systems"
