On October 1, the Montgomery offce or the Postal Telegraph Company will move into inc building now occupied by the Fourth National Bank of Montgomery at 35 Commerce Street and the banking house will establish new headquarters m the building now occupied by the National Building and Loan Association at A Com meree Street.
 The banking house will have complete new outfit of fixtures, new vault ana officials of the bank say that when all of the improvements have been conn pleted. it will he one of the neatest and most convenient banking establishments in Alabama.
 W. H.

The Fourth National will secure possession of its new quarters on October i, but until the improvements are complete it is likely that the bank will occupy temporary quarters.
 The Postal Company's ofiice in the Fourth National Bank building have more roomy quarters than it now oc- cupies. The interior will be fitted up with the conveniences of 8 modern tele- graph office.

Somebody out in Iowa said that the tariff was a shelter for monopoly. That epigram put the Speaker of Congress out of politics. This year they churched the Iowa idea and put 1t out of politics. And now all the skill and all the energy of the G. O. P. is directed to keeping the Iowa idea out of the approaching session of Congress.

 In numerous restaurants where nPgr0 attendants have presided as matter ok course for years white men and young women were to be fuond today while others in large numbers waited in line for an opportunity to make application for similar positions. They are satisfac- tory and they have come to stay, the employers assert. While the leading spirits among the strikers scoff at the idea of permanent retention of the new help" q determination is apparent to force a crisis in the case of the negro waiter These developments are the re- suit of the strike fiasco begun yesterday As one employer expressed t:
