NEW LEADERS :. COME TO FRONT Phillips, Martin and Tay-
 Tor are Ahead. THE ADVERTISER CONTEST .o fra1-.i s s4, +es-- 1acss ps-.. s Ballots are Now Reaching

 Buffalo.

The story has been reversed. Some- body knocked tn. ball over the fence. The count this morning shows that there has been something doing'' in The Advertiser contest
 The popular teacher. clerk and po- iiceman who have been in the lead for the last two weeks have been suddenly overtaken and passed by their nearest competitors
 1t was thought the votes were com ing swift one week ago when they were brought to The Advertiser in baskets, but when she bundles of coupons began to arrive in barrels last night, the bas- ket night was put out of business. IL Is not safe to predict how they will come by next Saturday-perhaps on drays.
 Miss Kate McLemore's increase over the last published list shows a marked increase as well as that of l.. P. Sweatt, and especially MT. Harrison, who has been the leader until today. Professor Phillips. W. D. Martin and W. H. Taylor have suddenly developed a phenomenal record as coupon-chas- CTS. They not only closed a wide gap ma de by the former leaders, but made a..other much larger for their friends to gaze upon.
 The total number of votes cast to date is SS,753, something unprecedented in the South Never in the history of Southern newspaper contests of any k.nd has there been such a heavy vote boiled in such a short space of time 6s,753 votes! Think 1t over.
 The kettle of enthusiasm has begun to boil and all kinds of surprises may be looked for from now until the finish. Contestants who have things up their sleeves have begun to get nervous enough for the nervousness to shake out whatever has been concealed be- heath the cuff. A warm time is in store for the lucky three who go to Buffalo as guests of The Advertiser, as there are several popular citizens in Mont gomery who say positively they are going,
 It was stated in these columns some time ago that the popular clerk, L. P. Sweat, who Is one of the leading con- testants, was connected with Knabe's Drug Store. This Is Q mistake. MT. Sweatt is the manager of Dayiss Ba- zaar, corner Monroe and Perry Streets. Mir. l.. F. Sweatt, at Knabe's, Is Q nephew. of Mr. L. P. Sweatt and is not in the contest. az ,ce s-- a1
 Excitement has increased in The Ad- vertiser's contest, until the eagerness for news of the standing of contestants is sought for before the ballots are lication. Inquii CTS by telephone and by personal calls are frequent.
 The standing of contestants to date is har nrAsantan.

THE FUTURE NAVAL OFFICER
Great Britain Avaking To the Fact
that He Must Be n Mechanic
as Well as a Sailor.

London, Oct. 26.-The British ad-
miralty is taking the most lively i'm
terest in the working of the person
mel bill in the American navy, with
the view of the possible amalgamat ton
of the line and engineer officers OF
the British service. Arnold-Foster,
cecretary to the admiralty, recently
requested special reports on this mat
ter, and Vice-Admiral Fitzgerald
writes to the London Times upon the
same topic. The admiraPs letter is a
spirited defense of the navy agains.
many recent criticisms, but he admits
that the line officers must wake up
and become expert mechanics as well
as good seanlen in order to master
the complicated machinery Of the
fighting ships, or else the engineers
will oust them from their present
predominant position. 81 am not pre-
pared" he said, ''to advocate the
amalgamation of the engineers and
executives in imitation of the Amer
leans. We are certainly not ripe for
it yet. Moreover, it is just as well to
wait and see how it turns out with
them. But if an amalgamation is to
be eventually avoided, it can only be
by our executives becoming practical
mechanics"

DECIDED TO CLOSE UP.
The National Bank of Commerce OF
Omaha, Neb., VIII GO Out
of Business.

Omaha. Neb., Oct. 2s.-The National
Bank of Commerce has decided to
close up its affairs and has turned
over 100000 in cash to the Omaha
National bank to pay its depositors.
President j. II. Evans of the Bank
of Commerce gave out the following
statement: ''The bank is perfectly
solvent and the only reason there is
for closing is that the bank has a cap
ital of 100000, of which $150,0oo is in
real estate. This does not leave a suf-
ficient margin with which to compete
with the larger banks OF the city"
The bank was established as a pri-
vate banking institution in 1885. The
bank has successfully weathered two
financial storms. It's cashier is w. S.
Raynor and George E. Barker is vice
president.
