slrmInqham's Jobbine Trade.

THE jobbing trade of Birmingham Is
steadily growing and this city will soon
be known as one of the important whole
sale centers of the South" said Mr.. c. NJ
Brown of Goodall Brown & Co.
"A few years ago there were only
few wholesale houses here. Today nearly
all lines are pretty well represented but
there is room for more firms-room for
all that will come. The more houses we
have here the better advertised will the
city be as a jobbing place. Several large
shoe concerns are especially needed now.
Trade is only fairly good in the cotton
section, but this district is in splendid
shape and our average for the state is
quite satisfactory"

held by william e. Mason, entered the

talk
In fact. Messrs. Shaw and Littlefeld
and the balance of them came here to
learn something about the progress OF
the South, and not to talk politics. Thes
learned and they went away pleased.
The settlement of the South African
war will mean much to Birmingham, as
1t will to this entire country 1t will add
new field to our export business. and,
though it may cut off our sales of horses
and mules, it will lead to a great in
crease in the export of manufactured
products.
The establishment of the Cuban repub
lie under the suzerainty of the United
States. so to speak, will likewise continue
our market in Cuba, and, indeed will
probably increase the business between
this country and the young REPUBLIC
south of us.
It is unfortunate to be forced to criti.
cize home concern. But want to again
speak about the Birmingham Baseball
Club. I love baseball game. and there
are some 10000 citizens of Birmingham
who likewise are interested But we must
have a good club and a winning club.
There are some good players on the Bir>
mingham team-some as good as there are
in America. They have shown this. But
there are weak points and these weak
points should be strengthened. We want
a winning club and we must have one.
The owners and managers should fill
the gaps at once otherwise they will lose
the support of the local enthusiasts.

Birmingham Is going up The
Seaboard Air Line will be operating trains
into Birmingham within year from this
date. The Board of Aldermen of Birming-
ham has given this great system rights
to come in on unoeeupied streets, and
the Seaboard people have bought large
blocks of property in Birmingham on
which to establish their terminals.
It will probably cost the Seaboard some
s5,0000O0 to get from Atlanta into Birming-
ham and have the proper terminals in
birmingham. Yet it is very manifest
that the Seaboard people have the money
and that they mean business. In the near
future they WI probably connect UP with
their line at lontgomery which now ex-
tends from Montgomery to Savannah.
The Seaboard will of course operate
this way control a system of great i'm
portance not only to the Birmingham
district, but to the entire south.
The Birmingham people have exhibited
great enthusiasm In getting the Seaboard
here and have given to this system the
best that the city has. The Improvements
which the Seaboard will m axe in Birming
ham will probably amount to something
like S10O0,00O thus adding much to the
present prosperity of Birmingham and
the Birmingham district
I am glad that the Seaboard has de-

be long before the Illinois Central will do

In his Pittsburg speech President
Roosevelt spoke of the reduction of
the regular army to 1000 men as a
matter already practically accomplish
ed. While this number of regulars is
amply sufficient for all purposes dur
ing peace, the fact remains that the
regular forces constitute but the skele-
ton of a military organization in view
of the worldwide interests of the Unit
ed States, and the importance OF the
national guard is therefore greater
than ever before. 1t is difficult TO ar
rive at the exact strength of the ma
tional guard of the country, but the
figures recently given out 10y Adjutant
General Corbin may be taken as fairly
accurate. General Corbin fixes the
total strength of the guard at SO,43S
enlisted men. $4,000 non-commissionet
