 They See Montgomery.
 The guests after the refreshments had been served left the club rooms and went to the car for lunch. Aiter lunch they broke up into small parn1s and began their journey over the oysi- ness sections of the city to engage ln their heart-to-heart talks, those ,alhs that carry personalities into ousfness and have the peculiar but que inhu ence on buyers and sellers. NeaIiy ui the houses found customers m Mont gomery that are, some or thefh' u'o,s years old, and the local concerns III turn soon knew that they were taikihs to their customers as well. The latter relation was, of course, in the matter of raw materials.
 Most of the party visited at diner. ent hours the Capitol and carried OH some complimentary ConIederate greenbacks that were given to them by .TJncle" Joel Barnett, the Capitol watchman. These seemed to interest the westerners greatly. At dinner on the car the delegation had a number of Montgomery citizens as guests including Rev. pr. Hodge' He was the friend of Mfr. Byrnes who alluded to him in his speech down town. The car was attached to the Western train last night about 10 f o'clock and set out for Selma From Selma the party will return to Mont | eomery this afternoon at 6 o'clock and will leave at 6:30 o'clock for Birming- ham.
 Another ex-Southerner. typical of the | business man transplanted In Cnicago with remarkable success. is A. M. Full ton, one of the owners of the M. D. Wells and Company, manufacturers or shoes and boots. He assisted mate riaIly with Mir. Jenkins In setting at l ease the other members of the dele gation while south of the Mason and | Dixon line. He is a native of North | Carolina and has been in Chicago about seventeen years. He is unusually ops | timistic about the future or the | South.
 "The visitors to the South." said he yesterday. have more than accom-. plished their purpose already. Every | thing has worked gloriously from ths | very start. The enormous volumes ot business that we have observed so far on the trip has been revelation to | us."
 l Mir. Fulton was sanguine over the fu- | ture of the South that is to result from | better cotton prices. He declared that | if the cotton growing States have i've l successive years of Decent cotton there

 Chicago Banker Talks. The statistician of the Chicago party
 is the banker R. L. Crampton of the
 National Bank of Republic. of Chicago, "One thing has been settled by our
 trip" said MT. Crampton. and that is

 examining the resources of the banks | both State and National. have com | pared the present resources, which we

 Mir. Cramptoa was in Montgomery
 four years ago when he was South re- | turning from the American Bankers | Association which held it's annual | meeting In New Orleans In this four
 years he has detected a distinct re-
 yersal of banking industries in Ala
 bama. He finds on this investigation
 that the banks four years ago had to | cudgel their brains. vaults and other
