Montgomery Visitors Talk of the City's
 New Fame.

Montgomery does not grow weary :r vell-doing. Contributions continue tc come in and evidences of Montgomery increasing fame continue to pile up.
 No contributions to the 1910 fund were solicited. yesterday. The Cam paign Committee will do it's work Mon day So nobody was asked for money yesterday But it came in just the same N J. Bell a prominent Mont gomerian. yesterday sent from Calhoun his check for sz5 to go to the fund for a Greater Montgomery. George E. Lum. President of the Lum Machinery Company sent in a s10 check and the same amount was contributed by Dr. ]. N. Scott.
 These are indications that Montgcm- cry is now periodically and industrially awake as she has never been before. They show that the field for subscrip- tions has not been completely worked. They with other incidents which have come to the notice of the Campaign Committee have convinced the members of the committee that the people Of Montgomery were readier. were more eager for a united movement in behalf of the city than it was at first thought The field was riper for work than they conceived, when the big movement was planned.
 Gaining Fame.
 In the meanwhile. and already, Mont Eomery Is getting the best sort Of an advertisement for her enterprise, and aggressiveness. W. L. Henderson. Land and Industrial Agent of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. who was in Montgomery yesterday. had a word or two to say on the attention which Montgomery is att frncting.

 The Mobile and Ohio and largely through its land and industrial depart ment, is playing an important part in the Remarkable development of South Alabama The road is bringing in scores of settlers from the North and west The tide of immigration which has turned southward from the North and west has before this been the sub Ject of much newspaper notice and comment More than any other single agency the Alabama railroads are re- sponsible for bringing in these thrifty and industrious settlers. who. in their way. are building for the progress and development of the South. MT. Hen derson. like others. who are charged with this important work for the rail- road, keeps his hand upon the pulse of all industrial development throughout the State
 Mir. Henderson yesterday expressed unfeigned admiration for the way in which Montgomery is organizing and conserving her forces for advancement and development.

 The Right Thing.
 This movement of Montgomery for a city of 100000 in 1910 is attracting general attention from the Northern people, who are Investigating Southern industrial conditions. The efforts that Montgomery is making are known to them, and they have a good deal to say of a Southern city which shows such energy and aggressiveness.
