No better location for the Birmingham Saw ings Bank could possibly have been se- lected The building having been plan ned and erected strictly for banking pur- poses Is thoroughly suited to the needs of It's present owners, as 1t Is modern in construction and almost fire-proof. It will be remembered that some months Ago when the Hewlett building was burned the strong. thick walls of this bank building stood stoutly against the flames and saved, perhaps, that entire valuable block. The strong and substantial fire-proof vault and the modern time-lock safe, as strong as any in this section. were pur- chased with the building. and are abso- lutely fire and burglar-proof.

 Thus 1t will be seen that the success of | such institutions in the South Is beyond question; that every effort along this line has been crowned with abundant and magnificent success
 Birmingham commands a position for this line of business unexcelled by any point in the South, and we predict for the Birmingham Savings Bank with it's strong and substantial financial backing, its pur- pose of permanency as demonstrated by its purchase and actual ownership of the valuable bank building; and with it's corps of popular and energetic officers a useful career and rich success

Mississippi Commercial Congress
urgently request the members of
the National Congress to provide
territorial form of government
for the Iudian Territory as early
as possible, or that 1t be admitted
as a part of the state to be created
out of Oklahoma Territory; that
some provision be made out of the
public domain of the United States
or otherwise for the establishment
aud maintainance of public free
schools 10 said territory, since
there are no public lands 10 said
territory to be utilized for the
benefit of white or colored chill
dren. Referred to Committee on
Resolutions.
The following resolution was
introduced by W. q. Winner Of
South McAlester:
Whereas, out of a population of
more than four hundred thousand
people in the Indian Territory only
about fifteen per cent are Indians
or members of the various tribes;
and
Whereas, for the sole use and
benefit Of this small number of the
inhabitants the government is aid
ing and assisting said Indians in
the collection of certain taxes on
mercantile and other business
interests including stock, for
which the eighty five per cent Of
the people receive no benefit,
neither directly or indirectly, nor
have they any voice in fixing the
rate Of such taxation; and
Whereas, there are no means of
support for schools, insane asy-
lums or other public institutions;
therefore
Be it resolved, that the Trans
Mississippi Commercial Congress
urgently requests the National
Congress to enact such laws as will
abolish such unjust and unequal
taxation for the benefit of a few
who give nothing in return, or
that it provide for such taxes to be
applied to the support and main
tenance of schools and other pub
lie institutions for the benefit of
all the people in said territory,

Ardmore is anxious about secur'

kinds of plans are suggested every
day.
AS long as conditions remain as
they are now there is no doubt but
that artesian water is the most
feasible plan. II is known that
water rises to considerable height
in ordinary wells here, Ia many
instances wells that are no deeper
than sixty feet contain fitty-hve
feet of water. This has suggested
to a number of people that series
of these wells dug about twenty
feet across would supply the city
with water. But the plan is entire
| ly to impracticable to be attempt
ed II is not a question as to what
depth the water will stand, but a
question of how quickly the wells
will refill, When the big well wa:

MIR. PEPPER's PLAN ADOPTED.
Resources of Pan-American Repub-
lies to he Made Known.

City of Mexico, Dec. 1.-The Commit
tee on Resources and Statistics of the
Pam American Conference has finished
its work by adopting the recommen-
dations of C. NJ. Pepper of the United
States delegation. In addition to his
remarks on the gathering of statistics,
Mr.. Pepper makes the following rec
concentrations:
Under the general head of resources
information might be gathered in re-
gard to irrigation, existing methods of
transportation and existing means of
communication; also the establishment
of permanent expositions of the prod
ucts of the various countries in their
own capitals and in such other coun-
tries as may be deemed advisable.
The Philadelphia Commercial Mu-
scum furnishes the best basis on
which this idea may be developed.
THE great desideratum seems to be
to secure, not only the latest, but the
fullest and most reliable data and sta
tistics of production from original
sources.
The direct and constant communi-
cation with the various governments.
through such a central agency as the
Bureau of American Republics, seems
the best way of avoiding this diff

WILL OPPOSE NEUTRAL ROAD.

pOSGus
City of Mexico, Dec. 1.-The dura-
tion of the Pan-American Congress
will depend on the opposition which
the reItOrts of the several committees
will encounter in the plenary session.
Senator Davis Pan-American rail-
way project will come up this week.
The clause declaring the neutrality of
the road will meet with sharp opposi-
tion from some of the South Ameri-
cans. One of them said to-day to the
Associated Press correspondent:
This is thing which we will never
countenance. We have an object les
son of the full import of such a decla-
ration in the predcament of Colom-
bia, who, by reason of her having sub
scribed to such an agreement with re-
spect to the Pan-American Railroad, is
inhibited from using that road for the
TRANSFORMATION of her own troops to
suppress a rebellion. Such a declara-
tion is tantamount to abdication of
national sovereignty"
The same delegate told the corre-
spondent that some of the South
Americans would decline to assent to
a proposal which it is understood will
be introduced by the United States del
egation to the effect that the nations
represented at the conference favor the
construction. operation and policing of
an inter oceanic canal under United
States control. The opposition will be
based on the ground that the countries
other than those through whose terri
tory the canal will pass have nothing
to do\ with the matter.
Minor projects in regard to literary
relations will be discussed at to-mor-
rows session.
Martin Garcia Merou, one of Argen-
tines delegates, who is also minister
of his country at Washington, has de-
parted for his post in that city.
