NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT SENATOR QUAY,
 CLARK OF MONTANA AND OTHER PEOPLE

Adjacent provinces are wont to whistle in- terrogatIon notes when great Birmingham music bursts forth. But Birmingham has no time for reply. Prosperous merchants and manufacturers are too busy. Plants are becoming plentiful. New ones, seeking sites trample upon the heels of one anoth- CT to get in. The pressed steel car plant is only located and foundations begun when great new locomotive works seeks entrance and is coming; and quick upon this comes capital in abundance and a great building for office convenience is to go up imme- diately. Both are settled facts
 On the subject of improvements in Birm- ingham the trolley car company managers are deserving of congratulations. Having done our share of kicking againt the for- mer Twentieth street service, we should all make acknowledgement of the new cars and new conductors and generally better service. The street railroad people are evil dently making money, and they are wisely investing some of their surplus in comforts and conveniences for the public.
 
 The rivalry among the banking institu- tions of Birmingham is evidence of pros- perity. J. B. Cobbs goes from the vice presidency and active management of the Trust Company to assume control of the affairs of the Alabama National Bank, and a round million of deposits are promised for the near future.
 The Berney National Bank is so prosper ous and it's business in such good shape that Vice President Badham has assumed the presidency of the prosperous Bessemer Land Company in connection with his banking duties, and there are promises of humming times about Bessemer
 Henry Badham is among the ablest and most energetic young men in Alabama. His success in the business world has been ale most phenomenal Of excellent Judgment and clear business foresight he promises well to be one of the great developers of this wonderful district.
