MONTGOMERY CITIZENS ARE SLOW
 IN PAYING FEE.
February 1st, is Last Day on Which Electors May Qualify for City ElectiOn--Only 576 Have
 Settled.

Five hundred and seventy-six cjti- zens of Montgomery County have paid their poll taxes for 1905.
 Less than a month remains for these taxes to be paid In order to partici- pate in the city primary of April
 February l. is the last day under the law. on which poll taxes may be paid for the year 1905. and those who fail to pay by that time will have no vote when the mayoralty of Montgom- cry is balloted for in April.

Dun,m Trade Review

New York, Jan. 6.-R. G. Dun & Com pany's weekly review of trade tomor- row will say:
 Aside from some hesitation at the South owing to the recent fall in price of cotton. business conditions are favorable and optimistic sentiments are evidenced by extensive preparations for active trade. As annual reports ap- pear it is found that the closing months of 1904 made a much better exhibit than the first half. which starts the new year with smaller stocks of goods in the hands of dealers. assuring liberal contracts in the near future for re- plenishing supplies. A few minor labor controversies have arisen but the Fall River mills are more active and in most branches of manufacture there is a steady decrease in the proportion nf idle machinery one prominent pro- ducer of woolen goods reporting 95 per per cent of all plants in operation. Storms have again caused temporary delay in traffic. but the ample water supply is a benehcient influence more than ofsetting any injury to the ag- gregate. Gross earnings of the rail- ways in December were 6.4 per cent. larger than In the same month of 1908. Winter wheat conditions have improve

APPLIES FOR RECEIVER.
E. M. Swearingen Complains Against a Cwnnaw-- Eavwn

Es M" SWe0Ffngen Complains Against q
 Grocery Firm.
 A bill praying for the appointment of a receiver for the grocery firm of Kent X Jones was filed yesterday in the City Court of Montgomery in Equity by E. M Swearingen.
 The petitioner in his bill ayers that in March. 1904. he paid to J. Warren Jones of the firm of Kent & Jones, $500 for a one-third interest in the grocery business. He sets out that he is a rail- road employe and could not give the business his personal attention, but al- leges that a verbal contract was ent- cred into that he should receive one third of the profits or sustain one third of the losses of the firm. The peti- tioner ayers that he has never received a cent in money or goods from his in- vestment.
 Several weeks ago, he alleges, s. B. Kent, the third partner in the firm. sold out his interest, to J. Warren Jones without the knowledge or consent of the petitioner and a few days ago a one-third interest was sold to John NJ Burch without the knowledge or con- sent of the petitioner. The petitioner further ayers that he has repeatedly of- ftled to sell his stock for a ridicu- lously low figure, but that J. Warren Jones has refused, saying he would not give him 25 cents for his interest.
 The petitoine- charges that he Is be- ing discriminated against and that the firm Is insoivert. He pravs for the ep- rcintment of a receiver.
 The case was set for a hearing at 1 o'clock yesterday afterrno by Judge Sayre, but at that time it was passed by consent until Mor day.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
REASONABLE QUIET RULES DISTRI.
 BUTTON AT PRESENT.
Fair Volume of Orders Coming i'm fin Expectation of Good Bushes i'm The Spring-IrOn and Steel
 Active,

New York. Jan. 6.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say: Reasonable quiet rules distribution at present Consid- eration of part of the favorable results and preparations for what is conf" dently hoped to be prosperous year s trade congresses wholesalers and job bers. Cold weather, however. makes fair retail trade in winter goods and this, with necessary replenishment Of broken stocks induces a fair reassort- ing demand at leading centres. But tressing the expectations of satis- factory spring trade to come are the fair volume of orders already booked in leading lines of dry goods, shoes. clothing and kindred articles and the generally small stocks reported car ried in final distributors hands. Western jobbers stocks are reported 10 to 30 per cent smaller than a year ago at this date and this fact, coupled with the knowledge that the coming three and six months business will compare with a reduced volume a year ago, leads to the belief that comparisons from now on will favor the present year.
 Other features coming to hand sug- gestive of favorable interpretation are the activity in many lines of industrial effort, notably iron and steel and its many side lines. A clou1d of the in dustrial activity in New England is, however, the stagnation in the bitumi-
 nous coal trade growing out of the car shortage in that section. Th4 coal, coke, lumber, ore and grain trades note the presence of this as a disturb
 ing element in the central west, south
 west and northwest December gross
 railway earnings promise to show a
 gain of at least eight per cent and to
 close the year 1904. a sight gain over l 1903 hitherto the best recorded.

SANFORD SENTENCED
SLAYER OF J. A. ACTORS HEARS
 FORMAL WORDS.
Was Taken Before Judge Thomas of City COurt-Execution of Pen. alty Suspended Pending
 an AuDeal.

W. c. Sanford, the aged white mer- chant of Vesuvius, who killed James A. Achor, a railroad engineer, of Bir- mingham, last May. and who was con- victed of manslaughter in the criminal division of the City Court of Montgom- cry several weeks ago, was sentenced to ten years Imprisonment by Judge William H. Thomas yesterday morn ing.
 Only few of sanford's most inti- mate friends. his counsel, and court of- ficials, were present when Judge Thom- as pronounced \ the words that will cause Sanford to spend ten years be- hind prison bars unless the Supreme Court of Alabama interferes.
 Sanford was clad in the same suit of clothes he wore during his trial and carried in his hand the old pith hel- met which sheltered his grey head on his trip around the world on a bicycle. He appeared to have felt his imprison- ment keenly
 In response to the formal questions of the court. he said that his health was not good, but specified no partic- ular ailment. He gave his age as .55 years, and said that previous to his coming to Montgomery he had been the foreman of a gang of native work men in the Philippines. He originally lived in Battle Creek, Mich. '
 Judge Thomas then pronounced the sentence of the court It was imme- diately suspended, an appeal to the Su- preme Court having been announced by Sanford's counsel. The prisoner will remain in the Montgomery County jail until the Supreme Court acts on his appeal
 Sanford returned to jail. where all of his belongings. including his much rid den wheel are stored.
 It will be remembered that after a desperate fight on the afternoon of May 24 in the store and saloon of Sanford In Vesuvius, he shot and killed James A. Achor. a railroad engineer. Jeal- ousy over a woman, Maggie Hickman who lived in the house with Sanford is alleged to have been the cause oi the homicide. After a long and sen sational trial, Sanford was convicted by jury in the City Court of Mont gomery.

 As inventories and repairs are com pleted the various departments of the iron and steel industry steadily extend operations. and the sentiment Is in that prevailed a year ago.
 New business Is gradually coming forward. while production Is no longer retarded by adverse weather. Ample water has restored full output at coke ovens, removing the fuel difficulty and also facilitating transportation.
 The market shows little evidence of imitation or artificial conditions, a more wholesome tone pervading the industry than at any recent date. Minor metals developed some irregularity owing to annual statistics of supply, but the consumption of coal Is very heavy, necessitating full operation of practi- calIy all collieries.
 decided change in the tone of country hides lifted the price of buns to ten cents or better and offerings were limited. Other grades of domes- tic hides are quiet. Leather is quiet though steady. Foot wear factories are busy on orders for early spring delivery. Prices are firmly held. Az prices of cotton goods has not declin cd in proportion to the fall in raw ma terial. buyers are not increasing pur- chases in the primary markets for cot ton goods. Low stocks explain the steadiness and the position of the mills was strengthened by the partial recove- ry in the cotton market. Worsteds lead in the opening sales of heavy weights. but all divisions of woolen goods are strong.

The report was adopted.
 The contract for groceries for Jan nary was awarded to W. B. Jones & Ray.
