PLANS FOR INAUGURAL
STATE TROOPS MAY COME TO
 MONTGOMERY.
Committee of Business Men Laboring to Make Induction Into Offlce of Governor Jelks . Notable
 Occasion.

If the plans of . committee of Mont- gomery business mon do not miscarry. the ceremonies attending the Inauguration of Governor Jelks on January 10 will be on a greater scale than has been attempted in several years. .s.s.
 It is proposed to bring as many mern- bers of the Alabama National Guard to Montgomery to participate in the cere- monies ss is possible. To this end the
 committee has waited upon local railroad
 officials who have promised to cooperate
 In securing low rates for transportation.
 It is believed that some of the military
 companies may be transported free of
 charge.
 The plans for the inaugural ceremonies
 are due to the efforts of special commit
 tee daised by the Commedcial and Indus
 trial Association. It is charged with the
 duty of arranging for a fitting observation to IT ark the day on which the first Gov ernor elected under the new Constitution is inducted into ofice. The committee has been working hard and talking little. All | members of the committee are interested | in the project and each member is lending | his efforts to the accomplishment of the | task before the special committee. At a recent meeting thirteen out of the | fifteen members of the committee were present the two absent members of the 1 committeee being out of the city. Capt. A. G. Forbes Capt. E. B. Joseph,
 Jr., and MT. Leopold Strauss, forming a | b-committee. called at the Capitol yes- terday where they had a conference with Hon. J. Kirk Jackson. Private Secretary | to the Governor. and Adjutant-General W. w. Brandon of the National Guard.
 The committee and the officials met in | executive session, during which details | of the inauguration exercises were dis l cussed. The conference lasted more than | an hour.
 It was announced that officials of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad had promised to request that State troops be brought to Montgomery and returned to their home stations free of charge. | Colonel Brandon, it Is said. assured the | members of the committee that if the | other railroads entering Montgomery act cd with equal generosity. that as many | troops as the city could we'll accommodate | could be had on inaugulartion day. | It was said that no money would or could be taken from the State treasury l to pay the expenses of the Alabama Ma l tional Guard on a visit to Montgomery on inauguration day.
 l Members of the special committee from
 the Commercial and Industrial Associa- ton said yesterday that it was too early to discuss the plans for the inauguration
 day exercises. Many of the details were yet to be arranged. The members of the committee said the prospects for a no- table celebration were altogether encour- aging -t. The new Constitution names the first
 Monday after the second Tuesday in Jan- l uary following their election as inaugu- ration day for the Governor and Lieu' ltenate-Governor. The day this year falls upon January 19. The Legislature meets on the second Tuesday in the Jan uary following it's election.

EXPRESS SERVICE IN CUBA.
Southern Company Will Extend Iti
 Business to the Island.

Havana Post.
 Superintendent Hockaday of the South ern Express Company has been in Cuba looking over the field in the interest of his company. which is so much impressed with the future of the republic and the nrosuects for improved business in all lines of trade that 1t has ordered arrange ments made for the purpose or engaging in a general forwarding business to and from all cities and towns in the interior accessible by rail or water routes
 This will be welcome news for the whole of Cuba, because. with thoroughly or ganized express system, conducted under such auspices, the public will be assured of an efficient service that should prove indispensable.
 Probably no other company can give such advantages as the Southern Express Company, as it operates on 5000 miles of railroad and steamship lines, and has 4OOO offices in the United States.
 If is represented in New York City by the foreign department of Wells, Fargo S. Co.'S Express and Austin Baldwin & Co. and has traffic relations with every prominent express company in the United States. with connections for all parts Of the globe.
 It is also one of the oldest and greatest exnress companies It was founded by the late Henry B. Plant, who was its lifelong President. MT. Plant was suc- ceeded by Col N. J. oBrien. well known in Havana and prominent in railroad and express circles.
 The company has maintained an agency in the city of Havana since January, 1899. and its business has assumed pro- portions justifying the belief that the en- terprise of the management in extending the service to other parts of Cuba will meet with success.
 Tn addition to conducting a general ex- press business in the city and issuing money orders payable at any point in the United States a transfer department has been added. giving citizens of Havana the benefit of local express service. including the delivery of packages to and from rall- road stations. steamship wharves. hotels and residences
 A competent corps of custom house brokers is employed. and the company proposes to clear shipments for anyone desiring to avail of it's superior accom- modations for the dispatch of importa- tiuns.
 The expansion of the Southern Express Comnanys operations evidences faith in the progress of the country pleasing to note. and worthy of public encourage l ment.
