A UNION OF FORCES
PLAN TO UNITE COLLEGES OF TWO
 CONFERENCES,
MethOdIsts of Alabama Considering Plans for Two Educational Tn-
 stItutiOns Instead of Four
 as at Present.

A movement made by the North Ala bama Conference, which has been in session at Gadsden for the past week, and which is regarded by thoughtful people as the greatest forward move ment for Methodism in Alabama, was the adoption, by unanimous vote of the Conference, the report of the joint com mittee of the two Conferences, looking to the consolidation of the educational forces in Alabama. The adoption Of this report means that there will be two Methodist colleges in Alabama. one college for men and one college for women, owned and controlled jointly by the two conferences of the State. The question will be considered by the Alabama Conference. which convenes at Eufaula today. The question is weighty one, and the future educa- tional development by the Methadist Church in the State depends largely on the action taken at the Alabama Con- ference this week.
 Quite a number of people left Mont gomery yesterday for Eufaula to att tend the meeting of the Alabama Con- ference which Is in session at that place this week When the Confer ence convenes this morning. five of the Methodist ministers of Montgomery will be present-Rev. W. M. Cox of the Dexter Avenue Church. Rev E. c. Moore of the Clayton Street Church. Rev. !. w. Reinhardt of the Fifth Ave nue Church, Rev. Henry Trawick of the South Perry Street Church, and Rev. R. R. Ellison of the Forest Avenue Church, Rev. M. H. Holt Presiding Elder of the Montgomery District will also attend the Conference. A number of laymen of the churches went to Eu- faula yesterday and others will go later in the week.
 pr. John A. Rice. pastor of the Court Street Methodist Church for the past four years left last night for Shreves- port, La, where he goes to attend the Louisiana Conference, to which he has been transferred from the Alabama Conference.
 Dr. Rice will be located at some point in the Louisiana Conference. and 1t is generally supposed that his charge will be one of the larger of the Methodist Churches at New Orleans.
 The reports made by the various committees representing the financial side of the Court Street Methodist Church. for the closing of the Confer ence year shows that. from all sources, through all channels, and methods of raising money in the church. the sum of s45,522.2S had been raised during the past year.

The negro driver was in the carriage and he was thrown violently against an electric light post but luckily escaped unin- Jured The front part of the vehicle was smashed to splinters and forced on to the sidewalk and the front seat was hurled against the side door of the dry goods store.
 The runaway team got away from the negro driven in charge, while Go- ing down Dexter Avenue The ws gon was partially loaded with lumber. which. owing to the incline of the Dex- ter Avenue hill, slid forward and touched the legs of the mule. The an imal became unmanageable and, in a moment, was runnin gat break neck speed Near the government building the driver was thrown out and was se- verely injured. 1t being reported later that his leg. was broken.

The State Insurance Department yes terday received the smallest fee in It's history. Four cents was the amount forwarded to the insurance officials, and to secure this fee, 1t was necessary for Deputy Commissioner Sexton to pay two cents In postage. Immediately upon the receipt of the sum the proper en- try was made in the bookJ of the de- partment. and the amount was turned over to the State.
 According to Section 20sS cf the laws governing insurance in Alabama, com panies in foreign States during busi- ness in this State must pay toNthe State department one-half of one per cent. ot the amount paid out by them in losses.

 whereas, There has never been a time in the history of the South when agriculture was so remunerative as at present and the conditions of farm life more attractive; and,

 On the publication of freight tarins by the express companies:
 whereas, The merchants of this country are without published informa- tion as to the correct charge for the transportation of gods by express from one point to another: and,

The Commercial Club of Montgomery has sent to the Secretary of the Ma tional Board of Trade. of which 1t IS a member. three resolutions upon mat ters which the Club wishes to be con sidered at the thirty-seventh annual meeting of the Board in Washington on Tuesday. January 15, 1907.
 The resolutions are upon the Fan anna Canal and the development Of riV- CTS and harbors upon immigration, and upon the publication of tarihs by the express companies.
 The directors of the club were unable to reach a consensus upon the subject of the parcels post. and so did not re- solve upon that question.
 The following are copies of the res- olutions adopted by the Directors and forwarded to the Secretary of the Na- tional Board of Trade:
 "Believing that the construction of the Panama Canal will materially change the present trade routes of the world and establish new commercial channels to the southward,. opening up vast opportunities for the development of natural resources by human en- deavor. and enabling the products of forest, field and mine to be transported from the interior to the coast upon rivers running directly to 1t at a mini mum cost or transpoEtaton' IheEeLoES be it
 "Resolved,. That, having thus in- duced the rivers of this country to run in the right direction by the construc- ton of this gigantic enterprise con meeting the two oceans across the ithmus, the Congress of the United States should be particularly liberal in appropriations looking to the better navigation of these rivers and the deepening of the harbors of this coun~ try.
 Resolved. further, That 1t is the sense of the National Board of Trade that an appropriation carrying at least $50,000,0O0 should be annually made for this purpose by Congress for the next Ave years"
 Upon immigration and the labor question:
