LETTER FROM DR.. HOYLE.
DEAR JOURNAL:

This has been a week of war
in the House, and the sanguina-
ry battlefield is strewn with car
casses of the dead and dying
victims. The triumphant flag of
low pressure crowd floats aloft,
proclaiming their victories. The
National Guard bill was the first
to be attacked, and nothing now
remains of it butt an indistinguish-
able remnant of it's former self,
to tell the tale of it's once exist
ence. This scent of blood so in
furiated the committee on appro-
priations that they attacked the
two colleges and the university
with such vigor that all fell be-
fore them before they reached
the House, and Notwithstanding
the generals on the other side
hoisted their flags of truce, and
plead for an armistice, the COM
mittee would not regard them,
but both sides are now resting
on their arms, hourly expecting
q renewal of the conflict. The
smoke Of battle being somewhat
cleared away, we find the lost to
be about one-half the estimates
for the next two years, or about
three or four hundred thousand
dollars for the two colleges and
one university. It was the opin-
ion of the committee, and will be
sustained by the legislature, that
they could get on without the
new buildings, but let them be
given an ample support fund,
and the repairs absolutely nec-
essary, until the State can see
her way clear for other pressing
Indebtedness. | learn that the
Senate yesterday demolished the
chapter Of the dummy code on
banks and banking. and / pre-
sumo there will be no legislation
on the subject as there was a del
egation of about thirty bankers
before the committee opposing it.
1t is to be regretted that we
could not get some laws on this
subject, as there are indications
of some reckless banking in this
State now, there having been
six bank failures within the last
year. / think the people Of tie
State should have some protection
against such hazardous business.
We yet have some bills ard
amendments on that subject that
we will try to perfect. A bill
much like the Alabama banking
law is pending in the House, hav-
ing been introduced by Mr.. Stur-
devant Of Lowndes county, one
of our very best members. !
learn that both people and banks
are pleased with this, in that
State, and there has been only
two failures since its passage.
Good banks, like good people,
can get on without laws, but all
are not good from such we need
protection.
The Agricultural and Immi-
grafton bill was voted down in
the House because Of its many

Closing of the Mills.

Some of the difference between the
years 1900 and 1905 can be accounted
for by the closing of the rolling mills
here, which were then operated by the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company. The
mills had closed but a few months b.
fore the taking Of the census of maui
features, and they were reopened by the
railroad company several months after.
The figures for today would be greater
than they We're at the time the census
was taken, not only in that one estab-
lishment, but in others as well, making
the apparent difference much less for
the two years and in many instances
greater for the later year.
