Railroad Buildinq This Year.

The Manufacturers Record shows that 2624 miles of railway have been laid this year in the south, together with Missouri, Indian Territory and Oklahoma. or about 200 miles more than were laid In the previous year The south now holds about 62,O00 miles of steel rails. Over one-half of this years mileage in the country was laid in the south, for the countrys total Is put 4979 miles, or about 700 miles more than was laid in 1904. North Dakota leads all the states this year, followed in order by Texas, Louisiana. Georgia. Minnesota, Illinois, West Virginia. Wisconsin. Indiana, Arkansas and Mississippi.
 It is not Alabama's best mileage, al though on ten short lines eighty-one the Illinois Central and the Atlantic and Birmingham will doubtless treble tn years mileage in this state. The Louisville and Nashville laid good share of the new mileage in this state. T he Central Of Georgia and the South ern each contributed to the years total
 The longest construction of the pres ent year was in North Dakota. where the extensions of the Soo line foot up 335 miles. To the wheat belt of the northwest Is due no inconsiderabla part of the years mileage.

Good Barometer.

"Nothing better indicates the prosperity of a country than its railway passenger traffic, and certainly Birmingham must be prosperous from the amount of bus mess we have done this week." said Chief Clerk Keller at the union passenger sta- tion yesterday. He had been asked to estimate the increase in the number of holiday passengers and he threw up his hands in despair.
 Why the rush has put us six days behind in our work and 1t would be i'm possible to give any estimate of the total" he said. With extra men in every de- partment, it has been impossible to keep up with the work The entire force is Tagged out. but I think they will be able to keep up now that the principal part of the task is over. We will doubtless be able to give figures on the holiday busi- ness in about week.
 All the clerks at the station are tired out. They show it and vet they are as courteous as ever, which is something to wonder at when one stands beside a window and listens to the questions that are asked In five minutes yesterday af- ternoon a woman wanted to know if her husband had bought tickets. although

The Retail Trade.

The retail merchants of Birmingham have shared fully in the prosperity of the year just ended. The holiday trade made a new record for this town. Every merchant reports that his busi- ness was larger than 1t had been In any previous season.
 Birmingham has a high reputation as shopping center, and every year brings an increased volume of business from the surrounding country. The merchants here are enterprislng and liberal. and they deserve success. With one or two exceptions, Birmingham surpasses all the cities of the south in the number and elegance of its retail establishments, and in point of bar gains this city is unrivaled.
 The outlook for the spring trade Is exceptionally bright and the volume of business in 1906 will exceed even that of the old year, record-breaker though 1t be.

MORGAN AND WEBSTER.

From the Selma Times.
 An old stenographer in the Senate In. ssts that John T. Morgan Is the ablesi man in the Senate since Daniel Webster. Daniel Webster was an able man, but all the problems with which he had to con- tend were mere child's play to the many and intricate matters that have been de- veloped in the history of the country dur ing the past 100 years. Morgan is today what Webster was in his day, and that means that he Is as the lightning express is to the stage coach, or the pony OK press to the telephone. It is well recog- nized fact in Washington that Alabama [ two senators are in ability the peers of any, and that as to their integrity they are without fear and without reproach.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Want Larger Eaqs.


 ''I see that the agricultural department at Washington is studying the hen with view to regulating, if possible. the size of the egg she lays" said a chicken fan eier at the Birmingham hotel yester- day.
 Tn some countries eggs are sold by the pound and not by the dozen Gener- ally in buying eggs we pay but little attention to the size, but the careful housewife knows the difference and it often cuts quite a figure in culinary econ omy.
 There is often difference of half pound in the weight of a dozen eggs, and this is quite an item. An egg of average size weighs little more than two ounces. 'lt is claimed that hen is created with about 635 eggs, all of which she will lay in two years if properly treated and fed. It is thought by officers in the az rfcultural department that the size of eggs may be made to be uniform as 1t has been clearly demonstrated that the size of the hen has nothing to do with the size of her product It is known that a hen sometimes lays a small egg and then large one.
 The department hopes to devise some plan or discover some method by which all eggs will be large and of uniform size"

Among those most conspicuous by their absence may be mentioned Judge Anthony Hamil- ton, soiourning in Paris for his health. Judge Hamilton-I do not quote the judge as some others do-says he Is i'll and of course that is so. Most of the others referred to feel i'll, but everybody knows why. In addition to the policy holders, those who profited most by the insurance lid being lifted were pert para graphers. cartoonists, public speakers in | need of subject, pulpiteers with noth- ing to talk about and the Hon. Paul Morton. who fell into a s100,000 job, with no questions asked. Times will be rather dull, now that Russia is quieting down and the insurance investigation is ended.

Handsome Brochures.

The Southern railroad has just issued two handsome pamphlets setting forth in an artistic and attractive manner the de- lights of Florida and Cuban resorts reached by the system. One of the brochures is entitled, "1'he Right Roard to Florida" and is by William E. Cur tis, the noted correspondent
 MT. Curtis seems to have absorbed some of the Florida sunshine, for his deserip- ton of the Southern Palm limited and it's trip to the south makes one want to travel. The illustrations, typographlcal work and general arrangement of this lit- tie book are most artistic.
 The second pamphlet is also by MT Curds It is entitled, The Right Road to Cuba and Nassau" This book is writ ten in a pleasing vein. and is extremely 1 handsome pictorially. Both brochures are good examples of the highly developed ad- vertisinG literature used by the railroads of today.
