Bank Examiners Duties.

Arecent o urn a | has an answer to my
inquiry Of last week which confirms a
suspicion I have lately entertained con-
corning national bank examiners. zone
Who Knows says, referring to my in
quiry: I'm the first place, the national
bank examiner, under the present banking
law, beyond which he cannot go, cannot
scrutinize the value of the paper placed
before him unless he has reasons that
make him suspicious of some of the
loans.'' Since the examiner, under the
present banking law" is prevented from
using the only means by which he can
come to any accurate knowledge of the
value of the banks securities, his duties
in the premises would seem to be con-
fined to taking his fees and locking the
stable door after the horse was stolen"

LIST OF PAIROLMEN
CHIEF GERALD TALKS OF HIS AP-
 CONTINENTS.
Names of New Montgomery Policemen VIII be Sent to City Council Next week-Men are Un-
 easy.

Police Chief Gerald announced yes terday that he would positively appoint the members of the Montgomery police force at the next regular meeting or the City Council in January. rms means that the names of the members of the force will be sent into the all tIermanic body for confirmation on the night of January l, 1906.
 From the statement made by the chief, it is evident that he intends making some changes in the person mel of the force How many are not known.
 q did not want to put green men on before Christmas" said the chief, q thought I would let the entire force stay intact until after the holidays It has kept the men on their good De- havior."
 Other than this statement the chief has nothing more to say on the SUD- feet of appointments He says empha- ically that the names of his appointees will not be given out until they have reached the Council.
 There has been some discontent among the patrolmen owing to the tardiness of the chief in announcing his appointments. They have been ex- pecting the list to be given out ever since Mayor Teague went into office during the early part of October. They anticipated that the appointments would be made at the last Council meeting but the session passed with out a word from MT. Gerald.
 While the patrolmen do not know what has prompted Nthe chief in his delay, and the overwhelming majority dc not know where they are at. they feel that they should have been in- formed of their fate earlier because a number of them are men of families and have passed through the best months of the year relying on re- appointment. They say also that they have been unable to secure winter uni- forms and are now wearing their sum- mer suits owing to the delay.
 As far as can be learned the chief has not intimated to single memher IT of the force whether he will be re- tained.

value, and then the return of it. with the proper apology, from Mir. Bryan. The Orient got taste of Occidental curiosity and relic hunting, and for the moment was shocked.
 With us that sort of thing, is carried to the greatest extreme. We hardly take account of how far 1t Is carried. There is a rush for the pen with which the President. or some popular Gover- nor of a State. has signed a measure of unusual interest. A scramble gets up for a cane or a riding crop that some popular favorite has used. Prince Louis when in New York attended a show, and asked about the lighted cigar he held in his hand Smoking, he was told was against the rules. but the rules in his case were suspended. But he politely declined the compliment, put out the fire and threw the weed aside. The stump at once became precious. and one of the hosts secured 1t and has 1t among his priceless and smokeless pos- sessions. And so on.
 Another fad of ours is photography. Kodaks are thick as blackberries in season, and anybody can work one, All celebrities are made to stand and de- liver. It is case of your picture or your life. Visitlngf foreigners of dis-f tinction are caught in every attitude. Count Witte and his staff and Baron Komura and his stan met photograph CTS at every turn of the road in the Portsmouth country and sat for pie lures all over their hotel. Prince Louis, a handsome man with nothing to fear, ran the gauntlet and saw ltis face twen- ty times a day in the newspapers

Calls Bees Idle.


 There are several popular errors about the ways of bees that need recti- fying.' said Ike Hubbard, a honey hunter. The average bee, instead of being an example of industry, Is about the laziest thing that flies.
 Even in the busy season in mid summer no bee will quit its hive until after the sun Is well up and has taken off the heavier part of the dew, and so soon as the sun slants toward the hills in the afternoon every bee will come flying home and go to roost, though darkness is four hours away.
 Then there are few bees that will hunt for honey from flowers so long as they can find corn syrup or brown sugar to steal. This fact is so well known to apiarists that many bee keepers buy corn syrup for 50 cents a gallon and pass it along to the bees, which convert 1t into something that resembles honey, but is not honey, and still sells for the genuine product of the hives. When a man can buy syrup for 50 cents a gallon and then sell it back to the trader as honey for $8 a gallon he can get rich right away, pro- vided he has enough bees. 4.
 The greatest mistake that is made about bees Is the belief that they fol- low straight lines when carrying home lHeIT lOd0S or money. assure you that the bee line one reads about in the books does not exist.
 When a laden bee Is going home with a big load of honey In its stom- ach and great wads of pollen on its hind legs 1t takes the easiest course, regardless of any time. In our hilly Maine country no bee will rise in the air to surmount hill when 1t can go around the obstruction.
 When sharp rise lies between my honey box and the bee tree every bee flies away on the arc of a circle, so as to avoid exerting Itself by rising. In such cases I place my box on either side of the hill, and make my triangu- lation nearer the apex. If one were to go chasing after a bee that was flying around hill, his calculations might lead him to China,
 The bee-keepers tell us that whito clover honey is the best, but I do not agree with them. Domestic honey, such as is gathered from white clover. buckwheat and other cultivated plants, is too sweet.
 ITO my mind, wild honey that is stolen from the blossoms of dogwood and basswood and wild thyme and hints and nettles is far better than anything bought in the stores. It has gamy flavor about 1t that suggests wild woods and great trees and singing brooks and everything that lives out of doors and away from the contamin- atlng taint of mankind"

WRECK ON SOUTHERN
CAR LEFT THE TRACK NEAR HAM BURG.
Another Accident Between Selma ana Akron snd Again None Was Se- riously Hurt--s. F. Scales
 Was Injured.
Advertiser Bureau.

E Advertiser Bureau.
 Selma. Dec. 23.
 An accident on the Southern Railway happened to the early morning passen- ger train betwe en Akron and this city, The Southern Railway passenger trains on the Mobile division of the road have had several accidents of late which have proven both fortunate to the passen- gers on the trains and to the railroad. Tn all of the recent accidents that have occurred there has not been fatality happened and as most of the wrecks have proved serious to the road the absence of any one being fatally hurt has been commented on a great deal by railroad people.
 The train this morning from Akron was coming along at Is usual speed when if slowed up for the station of Hamburg. While running into the sta- ton the train struck broken rail. which threw the first-class coach off of the track. None of the coaches were turned over and although many of the passengers on the train were badly shaken up and frightened, but none of them received injuries of a serious na- ture. The only passenger that got hurt was a travelling man out of Montgom- cry. named S. F. Scales.
 Scales was painfully injured about the back and the shoulders. None of the injuries that he received will prove of serious nature. The passengers of the train were brought on to this city after the train had been put on the track and the rail repaired. Scales was taken to the Hotel Albert, where he received medical treatment and 1t is thought that he will be all right in 8 day or so.

NO MORE REBATES.
Railroads Are Snid to Have Entere
 Into nm Agreement

Railroads Are Said to Have Entered Into mn Agreement
 New York Times.
 The big railroads of the country have agreed to abolish rebates to shippers, according to reports which were circu- lated yesterday. Several conferences on the subject have been held recently.
 This action is the direct result of the many prosecutions recently undertaken by the Federal Government against railroads and railroad officials for in- fringement of the anti-rebate clauses in the Federal statutes. The action begun against the Chicago and Alton and several officials of that road, and the indictments just found at Kansas including the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul. are cases in point.
 An officer of one of the railroads, the officials of which were indicted at Kan sas City, while denying that his own road had broken the law. said that there was not the slightest doubt that the giving of rebates would come to an end as a result of the prosecutions.
 In his opinion the results of these prosecutions will be seen not only in the reluctance on the part of the rail- road officials to give rebates, but In the hesitancy of shippers to ask for special concessions.
 The information that rebates would be abolished came not only from railroad officials, but from prominent banking interests which. directly or indirectly, control many railroads.
 The agreement to do away with re- bates is intended to weaken the argu- ments advanced in favor of rate Iegis- latiob. Much of the discussion In re- gard to rate legislation resolves itself finally into an agitation against the granting of rebates, which is recog- nized by railroad officials themselves as a serious evil. The conferences which have recently been held have apparent ly resulted in the belief among rail- read presidents that, under existing conditions each road can trust its com DetitOrs

Much Money Dlatributed.

The industries in the Birmingham district today distributed more than $250, 900 in cash, with double that amount given out during the week just coming to a close. The trading in Pratt City, Ensley, Bessemer and Bir- mingham, the centers of the industrial section of Alabama was extraordinarily heavy, the merchants all expressing themselves that the holiday trade this year was the best ever experienced in the history of the city. At the steel plant at Ensley efforts will be made to resume operations Tuesday morning. The furnaces at Ensley will not shut down at all, 1t being believed that the laborers will work on and off sufficient ly to keep the iron makers going through the holidays

CARS FAILED TO RUN.
Trouble on Lines of the Power Conn pany.

On account of some trouble with the transmission line of the Montgomery Light and Water Power Company con- meeting the Tallassee plant with Mona gomery there were a few intervals yesterday afternoon in which the street cars were at a standstill.
 For a few minutes last night also arc and incandescent lights were out.
 At d late hour last night, R. !. Chambers, general manager of the Light and Power Company, Said the trouble between here and Tallassee had not been exactly located. Therefore 1t was found necessary to shoulder the whole power and lig& load on the steam plant of the company in Mont gomery
 This was done with but little delay and the cars and lights were again doing service. " #:".
 The great crowd of shoppers down town were greatly inconvenienced by the trouble. The cars failed to run from 7:45 o'clock to S:45 o'clock and during these hours the lights in the residence district were out. Thous- ands of people were compelled to grope their way to their homes.
