DOLLAR FOR UPPER BERTHs,
Move Which Would Be Popular
With the Travelling Public.

will ask the Pullman company for a
dollar upper berth between St. Paul
and Chicago.
The price of lower berths will be 80,
as at present. This will be the first
break in the old Pullman system.
A 81 price for upper berths would
meet the strong popular demand for
cheaper sleeping accommodations and
would fill the Pullman cars.
Local railroad officials believe that
the change will increase instead of
lessen the gross receipts of the Pullman
company.

Thomas Barnett and Lewis Barnett, negroes of Robinson's Cross Road, in the southern part of Mont gomery County. yesterday in the crim- inal division of the City Court of Mont gomery. entered pleas of guilty to Q conspiracy to kill Dr. Broach. a well known physician of that locality.
 It will be remembered that several months ago, the younger of the Bar nett boys. while carrying the mail. was said to have spoken impertinently to pr. Broach and was run out of his store, He called on his father. who went to Dr. Broach and is alleged to have made threatening remarks. pr. Breach went for shotgun. but was immediately covered by the guns of the other three Barnett boys.
 The community was aroused and for several days the negroes hid in the woods, finally coming to Montgomery and surrendering to sheriff ". F. Wal Ter.
 The negroes were fined $25 each, for which they confessed Judgment.

PRosPERrTY.

The elation of our people is not mere ly because prosperity Is in the air; a thing looked for as near at hand and sure to arrive, but Is founded on the very fact: on things done and doing; on the whirl of business now under way. Our planters tell us this and our mer- chants repeat 1t. but the condition of the banks proves 1t.
 We have not seen hard times in Ala bama for several years, but to show how good these times are, take the pulp lished statement Of the First National Bank. under the Comptroller's call for November 10th (appearing elsewhere in this issue). and compare 1t with the statement for same period last year, and note the increase in the one item that emphasizes prosperity more than any other--Deposits. On November i7th, 1903 the deposits of the First National Bank showed $1.0ss.72s.s7; the statement published today shows them to be $1.sos. s.52s.o4--a gain of $7os.7ss.67. or about 65 per cent in twelve months.
 It is not probable that any other one business institution has shown such a relative increase. but 1t cannot be doubted that its great growth reflects improved conditions which ind their nc tural advantage in using machinery that has been running without jar or jolt for now nearly thirty-five years.

"It Must Have Happened While Lodge

"It Must Have Happened While Lodge
 and Gardner Were Not LOOI<inE.D Washington Post.
 It must have happened while Eena- tor Lodge and the Hon. Augustus Gard ner were not looking. There Is no oth- CT way of accounting for the capture of Massachusetts by W. l.. Douglas of Brockton. the weli-known. enterprise ing and successful shoe manufactur- CT.
 Mir. Douglas doesn't belong to the Somerset club; he isn't in the Back Bay set: his ancestors didn't come over in the Mayfower, or subsequently, help to exterminate witches. We do not believe he is a graduate of Harvard, or that Faneuil hall has ever heard of him, or that the eye of the Sacred Goldfish would brighten at his touch Worst of all, he is q mere Democrat--a plain man of the people. without friils or fuberlows. or any proper contempt for those who labor with their hands.
 Of course, Senator Lodge and Col Augustus Gardner must have been busy with other matters when the shoe man slipped into that chair which has been graced and honored. if not warmed, by the progeny of the Pilgrim Fathers. Both have been greatly, not to say feverishiy, occupied during the past few months. as we can understand.
 It has actually been hinted that the senator felt it necessary at one time to rally all the resources of his statesman ship to meet an envious and dastard onslaught wholly personal to himself.
 Similarly, good men throughout the country were pained more than once during the campaign by rumors to the effect that the aristocracy of Essex county were training themselves to contemplate Col Gardner's return to private life without shrieks of ago- ny.
 Thus the philosophic mind may ex- plain to itself the preoccupations on the part of Messrs Lodge and Gardner which left the way open for MT Doug las. No other explanation is conceiv- able, Tn fact which makes things easy for the philosophic mind.
 Of course. the Brockton shoe man could never have succeeded in Nhis ne. farious design under normal circum- stances. One really robust blast upon the horn of Lodge. followed by the very least of toots from Gardner. would have beenworth 10000 votes.
 Surely fate was never in more impish mood. Here is a Republican landslide Tammany in wreck; Maryland gone and even Kentucky quaking in Joe BIackburn's boots--yet Massachusetts. the very shrine and citadel of the de- vout, takes up a Democratic person and seats him in the sanctuary!
 Perhaps 1t would not be altogether fair to blame these gentlemen. They may have had troubles of their own But the country has long looked to them for protection in the hour of need and the country has Its rights.
