ELMORE MAY RESIGN
ooMMANDANr OF CADETS TO GO
 IN ARMY.
He Was Recently Appointed Second Lieutenant by President-Meet- ing of Board of Trustees
 of University.

A special meeting of the Board of Trus- tees of the State University will be held at Tuscaloosa this afternoon and Coy ernor Jelks, State Superintendent Of Ed location Abercrombie, Hon. Tennent Lo- max and Judge H. E. Glena, members of the Board, will leave this morning to be present at the meeting of the Board.
 While it is understood that the meeting has been called by Vice President Stan sel of the Board to consider a question the. lands of the University, it ts said there is a probability that Vincent M. Eimore, Jr., of Montgomery will tender his resignation to the Board as Com mandant of the corps of cadets. MT. Fillmore has been recently appointed a Second Lieutenant in the regular army.
 In connection with the reported resig- nation of Mir. Fillmore. the names or sev- eral persons are mentioned as prospect i've applicants for the position Of Com mandant of Cadets It was learned yes- terday that Colonel E. H. Graves of Eu- faula, who commands the End Infantry, Alabama National Guard, may be an ap- plicant for the place. Marion Mabson or Montgomery, who was an omcer m the volunteer forces during the spanish war, is also mentioned as a probable applicant for the place and 1t Is reported that Ma for w. J. Parkes of Birmingham VIII pc an applicant. Major Parkes was an om- cer in the volunteer army during the re- cent war. He served as temporary com mandant ot cadets at the University before Mir.

NEW TRUCK IN SERVICE
GOOD WORK OF LOCAL FIRE DE
 APARTMENT.
Members of Company Make Modern Truck of Old one-They De- serve Much Credit.
 Great Addition.

By the clever work of Captain Griffith
 and his men of the truck company in the local fire department. the city of
 Montgomery has been saved several hum dred dollars.
 When the alarm was turned in from the State Capitol yesterday morning, a truck glistening in the rays of the sun and as bright and neat as paint could make it, answered the call with the other machines of the department. It looked like a brand new piece of fire fighting machinery, but in reality 1t was prob ably the oldest member of the Montgom- cry fire department. The old truck that was in use in the days of the volunteer fire department has been standing in the rooms on Madison Avenue, useless all these years since the purchase of the aerial truck.
 The members of the truck company conceived the idea of rejuvenating the
 old warrior, and for the past few months
 they have been hard at work carrying out their idea While B. c. Lay, one of the members of the truck company, has done every bit of the painting, the com plete job made of it reflects great credit
 on every member of the company. Except broad running boards on each side of the truck, there is nothing new | about it, even the same wheels, axles and all, DeinS tne same tndt were OH tne truch

The equip l ment is complete, axes. hooks, etc., while | five ladders are carrisd-a 3-foot ladder. | a 33-foot ladder, a 30-foot ladder, a 25- foot ladder. and a 16-foot ladder.

 Three horses have all they can do to pull the aerial truck, while two horses can | pull the new truck over any of the hills in Montgomery with ease. The big truck will only answer calls in the downtown | district, while the new one will answer every alarm. t,- It is a great addition to the local fire department, and the city of Montgomery
 is indebted to Captain Griffith and his boys of the truck company for the pres- ent

TRADE INDICATIONS.
Business of Posto ce Shows Good
 Conditions in Montgomery.

Business of Posto ce Shows Good
 Conditions in Montgomery.
 A most reliable indication of the growth of the trade territory of Montgomery Is manifested in a statement made by Post master Buckley, which shows that the money order department Of the post off1ce has increased remarkably over last year, In fact the amount of money paid out of the money order department here is far ahead of Birmingham. This de- cided increase in the payment of orders shows that the merchants Of this city are enjoying a splendid trade among the citizens of the smaller towns and that collections are good. Postmaster Buck ley yesterday issued the following state- ment:
 ..Editor The Advertiser:
 'In publishing a few deys ago a tabu- lated statement of business transacted at the Montgomery office during the year just closed as compared with the previ- ous year, you very correctly stated the business of a postoface indicated the growth and prosperity of a city, and Montgomery, judged by this standard is rushing forward in the industrial and commercial world. wish to invite atten- ton to one feature of this increased busi- ness which is important and gratifying and is the result of the energy an den- terprise of our business and commercial men and at the same time Is a guarantee of the steady and healthy growth of our city.
 'In the money order business at this office is shown a notable indication of the growth of Montgomery's trade terri tory. The volume of business in this department during the past year shows a big increase over previous year. but it is the increase in the amount of the money orders drawn on Montgomery by the towns and counties and more distant parts of the State, that is most signi- ficant in showing how our city is reach ing out commercially and territorially. A feature of special significance in con- nection with this trade development at this point is in the increase of money orders paid at this office. There has been no falling off in the business of this city. On the contrary, 1t has maintain ed its regular and normal growth. The increase in number of orders issued was 1,115; increase in amount $11, ,814.05. But the increase in number of orders paid was 23.460 and increase in amount $49,- 681 30. Comparison with the Birmingham office only emphasizes the natural ad- vantages of Montgomery as a trade centre and superior distributing location. The increase at Birmingham in number of orders paid over previous year was 3,5S3, increase in amount $45,1S0.13 ,or $4,501. 1T less than Montgomery's increase. When we consider banks are multiplying in the State through which heavier ac- counts are lquidated, we must conclude that Montgomery. in order to add $50, 900 to her receipts in one year through the smaller transactions of the money order system, must bring within the circle of her control constantly increasing trade territory. Respectfully,
 "C. W. Buckley"

Revival of the Spelling Bee.

Chicago Chronicle.
 There was never an innocent and im- proving pastime, suitable alike to the learned and the laity to compare in genuine fun and literary profit with the spelling bee" So general has become the vice of bad orthography that signs multiply in favor of d revival of the bee" There will be a little more diff ficulty than of old in agreeing upon a standard, but the words spelled more ways than one are comparatively few and not important. Teachers of spelling. the few that remain in the schools. should be the first to encourage the jolly ''bee" and are liable not to be the last to be spelled down.
