MONTGOMERY ENTERTAINS
 BRITISH GUESTS TO-DAY

This is one of the features of the labor situation that they will look into while here. This machine has been in use Tor some time now, but has only lately been developed to the point where it is a prac- tical working proposition. It has been shown by the inventor, G. A. Lowry of Boston, for some days, and will be here two weeks longer. It has now been brought to the point where it will run along day by day, doing its work-the work of five hands-and is being put upon the market.
 Several leadnig men of the city and county were present to meet the English visitors and show them over the county. They will be taken out by Mir. Lowry and his associates and given a practical demonstration of the working of the ma chine, as is shown on the plantation of Jack Taylor, six miles from the city. After that the visitors will be shown about the city and informed on the pros poets of the cotton raising section. It is rumored that these gentlemen have in mind the purchase of cotton lands in the south with a view of making their own cotton. thereby getting in on the profit of the raising as well as the man. ufacture.

Honored Governor Jelks.

Thursday afternoon after the speaking by Governor Jelks at the fair grounds, his excellency, with the visiting officers of the Montgomery Fair association. and other distinguished citizens. were driven to the Hotel Albedt. where a delightful luncheon was served in the hotel ordi- nary.
 The luncheon was rendered by the of- ficers of the Central Alabama Fair asso- citation in honor of Governor w. D. Jelks and officers of the Montgomery Fair asso- citation. Covers were laid for twenty-one, were President J. B. Ellis, Governor Jelks at the head of the table: Vice President l. Schwarz and President w. F. Vandiver at the opposite end; then came R. R. Poole, F.. C. Melvin, w. N. Cox, W. R. Nelson. H. c. Davidson, R. H. Mangum, J. L. Clay w. F. Wilkinson, V. B. Atkins, R. E. l.. Mel. w. R. Pea cock, Miles Hardy, Barrie l.. Holt, F. B. McCarty. c. M. Haword, J. T. Stlatter. J. A. Wilkinson.
 Between the courses toasts were re- sponded to by w. F. Vandlver, R. R. Poole, Governor Jelks, R. H. Mangum, J. A. Wilkinson. R. E. l.. Mel, Barrie l.. Holt, V. B. Atkins, K. B. McCarty, w. R. Nelson and ]. Schwarz. The high com pliments paid Governor Jelks by the speakers were notable. and any reference to Governor Jelks' desire for the main- tenance of law received hearty applause. Reference was frequently made to the speech made by the governor at the fair grounds, and he was showered with praise. Among those who highly compli- mented the governor was Mayor Atkins, who declared that history would write Governor Jelks one of the greatest gov- ernors any commonwealth ever possessed. and that his administration of the affairs of the state had not been surpassed by any chief executive.
 President Vandiver and the Montgom- cry fair officers were thanked profusely for the cooperation given and the interest manifested in Selma's fair. A high tribute was paid by President Vandiver to General Manager Barrie L. Holt of him, and MT. vandiver also highly com pllmented MT. Mangum, secretary of the Selma fair, for his energetic and telling labors
 The affair was altogether delightful, the viands being served in splendid manner and thoroughly enjoyed.
 Track Record Broken.
 In the races at the Central Alabama fair this afternoon, the track record. heretofore held by Robert J." when 2:0s was made, was broken. The race was a free for all pace and three straight heats were won by Baron Grattan. driven by Ed Geers, the time being 2O61x; POT, and .07il. This is better time than was made At Montgomery, and within a fraction of the time for the best race in Birmingham. The horsemen and fair management are enthusiastic over the new record made for the Selma track as late as November.

THE LATEST MAIL ORDER DEAL
New Scheme Started BY Sears, Roe

Farmers Fat Pocket
Book.

The latest movement inaugu-
rated by Sears Roebuck & CO g,
of Chicago, to court favor with
the farming community is de-
.dedly interesting and in some
respects peculiar. The Chicago
catalogues offer to pay seven
per cent. interest on all moneys
deposited with them by the
farmers. The rates at Chicago
banks for time money, that is
thirty, sixty or ninety day loans
is 3 to 512 per cent, and this is
a decidedly high rate for; Chica-
go. Call loans, that is money
payable on demand, are very
Smuch lower. If you would go
to the banks with which Sears
Roebuck & Co. are in the habit

OF doing business in Chicago,
looking for interest on your
money you wonld probably be
able to purchase certificates of
deposit that would pay you,
say 2 per cent. interest. You
might deposit your money in

per annum, but it is very doubt
ful if YOU could get more than

Chicago banks. Chicago banks
have large cash resources and
they are lending money to their
customers on time as stated
above at ) to 512 per cent.
Sears Roebuck & Co., who are
credited as being very strong
financially, should be able to
borrow all the money they re-:
quire at 5 per cent. 1t is not

fact they usually find a way to

figures. Why, then, should they

funds. simply to establish closer
relations or to give the imp IS
sion that they buy at the high
est prices and sell at the lowest.
There is yet another possibility,
although scarcely probability,
perhaps they need the money.
This latest scheme is not at all
in the nature Of reciprocity.
Sears Roebuck & Co. will not
trust the farmer for one dollars
worth of goods but demand
that all cash be sent them be-
fore the goods are shipped and
in many cases before the goods
have been ordered from the fac
tories. They will not trust the
farmer, but they want the farm
er to trust them and for his
confidence they are willing to
pay the highest legal rate Of in
terest current in the state of II
linOis-a rate that no banker of
Chicago charges his high grade
customers even at this season

employed. 1t would seem as if
the government or the states
should take cOgniZance of this
movement on the part Of the
Chicago house. All the banks
at the present time are under
state or national supervision
and it is entirely within the
proprieties that Sears Roebuck
& Co. be placed under the same
laws and be compelled to make
statements and submit their
books for examination as other
banks do, for their proposition
to pay interest on deposits puts
them in the ranks of bankers.
1t might be well for the retail
ers of the country to keep track
of the people who send their
money to Sears Roebuck & Co.
on deposit and when they call
on you and ask for three, six
or nine months credit without
interest. common sense should
decide your answer. If the mer-
chants of the town will get to-
gether and use this little wedge
wisely and with discretion to
head off credit to people who
are in the habit of sending cash
in advance to Chicago, they
would be able to do some good
for themselves. It's a missionary
proposition. Think it over.

AN EDITORS APPEAL.
To Brother Publishers I'm Behalf
Of the Lost Child Of DIR.
Byers Of SeeIeyviIIe, Ind.

If the editor OF every paper in
the Union will republish these
lines there is no question but
what DIR. S. l.. Byers,- Of Seeley-
vile, Ind, will recover his little
sou who was stolen from his
home one year ago last May.
DR.. Byers has spent his entire
resources in search for his child
and unless the big hearted mem
bers Of the press come to his as
sistance his son will grow up
an outlaw and an outcast
among the lowest people Of the
earth. 1t is a cause that should
appeal to everyone and no faith
er reading these lines can do so
without a quickening Of the
heart and a sympathetic throb.
1t is believed that if this ar
ticle is reprinted in the news,
papers it will form an endless
chain that will uncover the lost
boys conCealment and return
him to his distracted parents.
In doing this the profession of
journalism will be fulfilling one
of it's. highest destinies. A re-
ward of $500 awaits any infor-
nation that will lead to the
boys recovery. No questions
will be asked and if the abduc.
tor himself would deliver the
boy to his parents he would
not be molested. The bereaved
parents are heart broken with
grief and want only their child.
II each journal will reprint these
lines, they will travel to every
exchange table in the United
States and bring back TO a
wretched home a child who is
now no doubt suffering with
cold, unfed and wretched to a
degree, Think Of what your
own feelings would be under
similar circumstances! This ap-
peal is indicted originally by a
publisher who saw DR.. Byers
only once, has no personal in.
terest in his quest other than
the bond of sympathy that
makes the world akin, and is in
Spired from the belief that the
lost boy can only be found
through the united efforts of
the country press Of which he
is proud to be a member. His
recovery will be a triumph in
advertising and no editor
whose heart is placed right will |
refuse this appeal. Remember it
may be your child next!
The following is the description
of the lost boy:
