But a Margin is Also to
 Be Had. THE WORK IS UNcoMPLETED Still the Sum of $lO,332.5O Has
 Been Raised. More Than 5000 Raised Yesterday. The Enthusiasm Has Been Maintain- cd Throughout the Entire Campaign--Cemmittee
 Will COntinue the
 Work.

The first battle has been fought and won!
 The sum of s10.ooo has been sub scribed for Montgomery a city of 100000 in 1910" The mark was reach- ed, the goal was won yesterday. The days work of the Campaign Committee netted the splendid total of s910. The grand total amounted to $10,332.5o.
 Montgomery has proved her mettle. She has. shown the outside world what splendid faith she has in herself. She has shown herself to the outer world the possessor of an independent, work ing, aggressive spirit. She has shown that her people have the ability to get together and work in harmony on any movement that promises results for her future good. A new and aggressive Montgomery has arisen.
 But the Campaign Committee has not fully completed it's labors. Some more subscriptions are going to be taken. Chairman F. F. Glass and his associ- ates will continue their work until some additional subscriptions are se- cured.
 The necessity for this is obvious The movement for 100000 people for Mont gomery will be based upon $10,000 in actual cash. The subscriptions which nave pCCAA ACCOEoCQ dS A6 WGAA AhOWh are made payable over a period of a year. Many things may happen to sub scribers in a year It is possible for a subscriber to die. It is possible for him to fail in business. It is possible for him to move away from Montgom- cry. It is possible that something may arise which will make it physically im- possible for him to pay the obligation of his subscription.
 A Margin Wanted.
 The total subscription fund is in all hL nan probability liable to some sort of shrinkage. To give complete assur- ance there must be a margin. The Campaign Committee will continue its labors for a day or so or at least until that margin has been assured. But the fact that the subscription has al ready overtopped the high mark of SIG, 900 is a splendid commentary upon the enterprise and public spirit of the New Montgomery. It has shown as nothing else could show that the people have come to where they are quite will ling to work together in harmony and l in accord when the work Is for the greatness of Montgomery.
 The subscription work of yesterday | turned out to be very gratifying and | satisfying. The days total was one oi | the largest of any days work so faI ! riod has been running over a period of a week. And that week has hac more bad weather crowded in 1t per l haps than any other week of the pas year. It has rained practically every | day of the canvass and on more thar one day 1t rained practically all da! long. Yesterday afforded a greater | freedom from showers than any day O | the financial campaign. The commit | tecmen therefore took a chance ant put in a day of great activity. Among the active committeeman of yesterda! were: Messrs. J. $. Pinckard, c. G. Fir kIe, F. P. Glass. J. w. Tullls. V. H Hanson. A. J. Kaufman, F. S. Ball an' A. T. Minter.
 A Field Day.
 It was all in all, field day for Twen tieth Century Montgomery. For yes
 terday was supposed to be the fag-en of the subscription-taking. Man Montgomerians thought the town ha
 already been pretty well worked fo the cause and that most of those wh were able and willing to contribute t
 the fund had already done so. Bu
 they underestimated the aroused spiri
 of the people of Montgomery. The
 underestimated the peoples enthusiasm They did not appreciate what Mont
