 Montgomery Today.
 Perhaps it wasn't cold wave that struck Montgomery yesterday after. noon, but 1t was decidedly a chilly wave. The atmosphere became so congealed as to become quite uncom- fortable, and the weather man began noting changes in the temperature frequently.
 The thermometer on top oe the Fed-' eral building that is the most cher ished possession of the local ofice of the United States weather bureau which officially gauges she tempera- ture that is used by all classes of people in Montgomery, registered q change of over twenty degrees In the atmosphere within a few hours yes- terday afternoon, and 1t was not q change fer the warmer, either
 While the thermometer up above the postoffice showed q temperature af seventy-four degrees. at o'clock in the afternoon, the mercury mad drop ped to fifty-four degrees at o'clock, and was still further depressed, regis tering only 51 5-S at 7:30 o'clock.
 That was about as cold as it got during the night, private thermome- ters on the street registering forty nine and fifty degrees justbefore~ mid night

 The 200, 900 automobiles now in use, Including 6c,000 motor cycles, worth not more than $200 on an average. will scarcely amount to moro than $200,- 900, 900 In value. With production increasing about twenty-five per cent. every year they represent the output of three years manufacture. The in- vested capital In automobile building may therefore be estimated at about se7, ,OOO. 900 on the assumption, which holds good approximately in similar industries, that the capital reproduces itself gross every year.

 Now that the Canueks have gone the next number on the program of hospi- talitv of the Gulf City is due and proper entertainment of the remnant or that once grand and glorious host or war riors who went forth from their homes forty years ago to light Tor what tnvS believed to be their right--their herlt- age.
 With excelIent1y placed men of af- fairs upon each and all of his commit tees General Chairman Berney has de- clarel every detail mapped out and the outlook is for brief business session of Ala bania Division, United Confederate Net erans. and then one long, continuous and unalloyed season of pleasure. All fears of necessary comforts and accom- modations for the old Guard have dis apueared. The fact was the past two days fully and satisfactorily demon strated in the caring for of the nearly 900 visiting Canadians without over taxing the several hosteiries. It IS ex- pected, Of course, that the above hg- iire so far as point of attendance al the reunion is concerned, is mere bagatelIe, but there are dozens or otn- CT places fully prepared for providing comforts to all corners to say nothing of private homes whose doors VIII pc thrown wide open to the Old Conted- crates and their families
 While the United Sons Of Confeder- Ate Veterans are due here on this oc- casion in considerable numbers 1t Is safe to say they will, upon returning to their homes, be able to say We had a good time. "'
 The local people are ready and walt ing for the invasion of General Harri- son and his soldier boys as he loves to call them.
