James Loshe Died at Riverside Park
 Yeafep6ny.

1c0tcr00ys
 Mir. James Loshe, one of the best known horsemen of Montgomery and during his life time one of the best known horsemen of the country, died about o'clock yesterday afternoon at his home in the Riverside Park en- closure in sight of the race track and the racing stables which had been for years the objects of his love and atten- ton.
 He was 6s years old and for some years his health had been poor. His death therefore did not come as a sur. prise to his friends in Montgomery.
 At intervals during the last eighteen years he had lived in Montgomery in connection with the horse business and had made reputation for himself among local horsemen for his Judgment and training of fine animals. Born in Georgia, he had travelled all over the United States with fine strings of horses and knew horse flesh like Q book. His thrilling accounts of great races in which he took part or wit messed have given pleasure to many Montgomerians who knew him and heard him talk of himself when in the right mood for reflection. He is sur vived by his wife, who lived with him in Montgomery and two children. who live in Kentucky.
 The funeral arrangements have not been made. but they will be made to- day. The body will be inferred in Oakwood Cemetery.

Birmipsham a Money Centre.

| s"Our advices are that a third of the cotton crop of Alabama remains in the hands of the planters" said the presi- dent of one of Birmingham's great | banks this morning. They have paid off their debts with the cotton which has been sold, and the remainder Is therefore almost clear profit. Being under no stress to sell this cotton, they will hold it for the best prices obtain able. This means year of prosper ity for Alabama. I expect wonderful developments as the result In the past two years Alabama has made greater strides forward than in any i've in her previous history"
 "In view of the promise of the fu- ture," 1t was suggested, Birmingham ought to become the metropolis of the South"
 Birmingham is the financial center of Alabama today" replied the bank er There Is no doubt of that. In fact, money Is coming to Birmingham for deposit and investment from Flor ida, Georgia, Tennessee and Mississip- pi, as well as from all parts of this State And the merchants of those States have learned that money on good collateral may be obtained in Birming- ham on as favorable rates as can be had in the large cities. am entirely within the facts when I say Birming- ham is now second only to New Orleans as a financial center of the South.
 "A great many banks have been or- ganized in Alabama within the past few years, and each of these has a Bir- mingham correspondent When a new bank is organized in this section, 1t is regarded as essential to secure a Bir- mingham correspondent as 1t is to have one in New York.
 The planters and merchants of the South can do better in Birmingham when they are in need of accommoda- tions than they can in New York. Ths banks here are acquainted with condi- tions under which the planter labors and the merchant operates, and they are much more ready to extend accom- modations.
 "A great deal of Birmingham money has been used to move the cotton crop in Alabama. This bank has put out a million dollars for that purpose. We expect that million to bring back half a million with 1t in the way of de- posits and increased business. In fact, our deposits show an increase of about half a million since August.
 Tt is to the advantage of the mer- chants and planters of Alabama to have a financial center within easy reach, a city where they may secure monetary accommodations on as favorable rates as are to be had. The merchants and planters are realizing this. and money from all parts of the State will flow in 10 Birmingham in increasing volume"
