sum of the increase in loans and the net gains in cash. consequently the statement did not balance. The required reserve was augmented by s1,24s, $50, through the in- crease in deposits; dedieting from this sum the net gain in cash ief Si,059.45o as the decrease in the surplus reserve to sss,i44.- 2so. Computed upon the basis of deposits surplus is s47,1s7, 425. The dull speculation on the stock exchange was reflected in the low daily average of sl64, 4,00o.000 of bank elearings, or $2.0Oo.0oo less than in the pre- t4ons week; ciearings on Saturday result ing from Fridays business were $t6s, sS5.

PRESIDENTS HEFEREEs MEET

Birmingham. April so.-(Special. l-The three referees of federal patronage. lead CTS for President Roosevelt in this State. J. o. Thompson of Birminghams c. H. Scott, of Montgomery and W. F. Aid rich, with several of their friends. are holding conference late tonight with the view of bringing about settlement of differences
 J. o. Thompson is q candidate for chairman of the State Committee which meets here May 10th. In an interview recently, Mir. Aldrich said that he was opposed to the chairman of the commit tee being elected by the convention. but wanted the committee to select its own chairman after the convention had named the committee. This meant that there was to be war in the convention. The conference tonight will bring about a set clement of differences.
 A large number of Republicans from all parts of the State were here today discussing the situation. The future policy of the party in the state was also under discussion. Among those here were T. W. Dimmick. of Montgomery, present member from this State on the national committee; Oscar W. Hundley of Huntsville and D. B. Smith, postmaster of Opelika. There are more than dozen candidates for the position of dele gate at large to the national convention. If the differences between Messrs Ald- rich and Thompson are righted tonight. it is likely that by tomorrow evening some agreement may be reached as to the four men to be named as delegates at large to the national convention from Alabama. The following are among the candidates for the four positions Will liam Vaughan, T. H. Aldrich Birming- ham; W. I. weiiman. Huntsville; John c. Hubbard, Mobile; P. D. Barker. Mobile: N. L. Steele. Huntsville; Ad wimbs. colored of Greensboro: A. N. Johnson. colored of Mobile; L. J. Bryan, Montgomery. Oscar Hundley. Huntsville: B. W. Walker, Montgomery.
 There appears to be but little doubt as to the selection of at least one of the negroes above named as one of the four delegates to be chosen by the conven- tion. The delegates from Alabama to the national convention will be instructed for Roosevelt and Fairbanks.

 Dear sirs: "T was suffering terribly with indigestion and kid- ney trouble and sent to my drug gist for something to relieve me. As he sent me a package of Dr. Thacher's Liver and Blood Syrup concluded to try it, and now ! am deeply grateful to nay drug gist as we'll as to you. I had been 6 sufferer from these things and a general run down condition for ten years, and had only received temporary relief from other medi- cines. But after using not quite two packages of your Liver and Blood Syrup I feel as stout and hearty as I ever did in my life, and I am satisfied that I am en- tirely cured. I feel no symptoms whatever of the kidney trouble, and my digestion is as good as any living mans. I can now eat whatever I choose. never had any remedy give me such quick and permanent relief, and cannot put a correct estimate on the value your medicine has been to me. T would not take any amount of money for it.
 Very gratefully yours,

 Dear sirs: q have suffered greatly with indigestion, consti- patton, also severe liver trouble, with loss of appetite. Could not rest we'll at night; in fact, had no energy to work or ever walk around. I felt like I was pack ling a heavy load, and was easily exhausted, until took .Dr. Thacher's Liver and Blood Syrup, which helped me along from the first dose. When I had taken one and one-half bottles, I felt like a different man, and knew it was due entirely to your medi- cine. I used in all three bottles, and consider myself perfectly cured. At this time my appe- tite is good, I sleep well, and feel strong and refreshed on rising in the morning.
 Very truly yours,
