It strikes me that these two young
Napoleons of finance are making a mis-
take in fighting one another. I cannot see
where either will make anything by a
fight 1t appears on the surface that
they should get together and cooperate
with one another. If Mr.. Atkinson has
anything to sell watch Mr.. Williams
wants to buy, 1 can see no reason why
the two men cannot get together and eff
feet an equitable trade. This would GER
tainly be better than making costly con-
test over rights of way about Birmingham
which would certainly be extremely ex-
pensive to both sides.
The Seaboard people enjoined the Belt
people yesterday from laying further
tracks, and 1t may be that when the Sea-
board people attempt to lay tracks the
Belt Line people will enjoin them. This
of course, will create a delay which will
seem to the people of Birmingham as un-
pie of Birmingham are unanim GUS In their
desire to have the Seaboard Air Line
build into this city, and If public senti-
ment has anything to do with it, ale Sea-
board will be allowed to come as quickly
as they can build.

~ HE phenomenal growth OF Bir-
N~ mingham is manifested on the
surface more and more each
a and every day. The Seaboard
Air Line will probably spend s1.OoO,0oo in
extending its railroad into and establish
ing terminals In Birmingham. The Wood
ward office building, ten-story fire-proof
structure, is nearing completion. The
foundation of another office building on
Third avenue and Twenty-frst street Is
being builded.
The latest and most important news,
however, is in the announcement of the
fact that a 12-story office building is to
go up Immediately on the corner of Sec
ond avenue and Twentieth street on the
property known as the Mcdonald corner.
Plans for this building have been COM
pleted and financial arrangements made.
1t is said this will be one Of the hand
soonest buildings in the entire south, thor
oughly fire proof and equipped in the
most modern and up-to-date style. 1t is
to be the equal of any of the great New
York structures. Work upon 1t is to be
commenced within a few months. The
contract is almost ready to be let.
Nothing adds so much to a city as well
built and convenient office buildings. For
instance, Atlanta is the southern head
quarters of many great insurance COM
panies and of other concerns doing busi-
ness throughout the country, by virtue of
the fact that It has convenient office
Accommodations. Building after building
has been erected in Atlanta in recent
years. All of them are well filled and are
profitable to the owners and to the city
alike 1t is a known fact that Birming-
ham would have had many high-salaried
representatives of great national and In
ternational concerns to establish head
quarters here during the past two years
had we been able to offer them proper
office facilities. Now that Birmingham
is to have three modern office buildings,

seen are relics of a past that had no
respect for the trees that grew year
in and year out until they covered the
land with beauty and, 1t should be
added, with wealth. There are for.
tunes in Southern trees, and all the
world has come to know it, and the
Southern farmer knows it, and he
no longer resorts to the deadening
method in the clearing up of land.

The regular June meeting OF the
knights of Columbus will be held on the
first Tuesday-next Tuesday-instead of

The knights are preparing for an initla-

assembled in the south Delegations will
come from Memphis, Nashville, Chatta-
nooga, Atlanta and Mobile to witness the
ceremonies.

Spring CHECKERS continue to be very
scarce in this market said Morris av-

centage of the chickens that are shipped
are too small to be In demand, but well
grown poultry is sold readily at good
prices.
IT have never known such small chick
ems to be put on the market as some that
are coming here this season. l have writ
ten to shippers asking them not to send
me under size chickens. but still these
little chicks are received here every day.

Alabama's annual consumption of
fertilizers is about 100000 tons, and
the sales this year show a decrease
of about per cent when compared
with the sales of last year. Such a
decrease has been offset so far by
the favorable nature of the season.

1t is hardly time yet for the correspondence to
be received the proposition but it begins to look
as if Eastern investors going to be in a posi-
ton where they can furnish good suggestions
and ideas. Siftings wants all these. 1t believes
the people are entitled to the truth and mining
man who believes in the business principles of min
ing will object to facts.
Letters received from a majority of the men,
bers of the State Editorial association show that
they will exert the influence of their papers to have
laws protecting the investor passed at the coming
session of the legislature. The battle is well
and the right will win. Siftings believes that it is
aiding in the accomplishment of a most generous
good if it aid in placing mining upon basis
where it will command the same respect that any
other investment would. Place it in position
where the who makes trip to the East will
not be considered fakir because he is engaged in
.the mining stock business any more than he would
be considered fakir he in quest of purchasers
of bonds and stocks in any other line. This is
where mining should bet should rest upon this
basis and the sooner such condition of affairs is
brought about the better it will be for the mineral
resources of the state and for those engaged in e
gitmate mining propositions Siftings may be
wrong in this view but it believes it is right, and
believing it is will keep up the fight until some
thing is accomplished

arrived home last Saturday night from extended
visit to Scotland The party left here early in the
summer to visit the scenes of Mr.. Mclean youth,
which he left thirty-one years ago. The visit has
proved to be a most pleasant and it great
surprise for him when he gazed upon the wonderful
changes that had taken place in his old home. The
most of the time was spent in Scotland although
they visited points in England.
