THE AMAZING PROGRESS
 OF BANKING IN ALABAMA
There are "A NatIOnal and 1SO state Banks-Yoke. of Bondase to North ern Creditor. has Besn Removed and Farmers and wase-E"rner" Are steady Patrons.
RY ". P. G. HARDING.

The state of Alabama has today nopula.ion of more tllan 100000 ana has natural resources that are coih- TorahIe in extent and variety with tbose of any State in the Union. Tier coal fields could supply the world Wltn ,1. fuel for generations and her oesposlts t+' of iron ore are estimated to contaln on..-hslf of the known supply or the United States. ..
 within her borders are yet thous- an1s of square miles of virgin timber, yellow rine and various kinds or haru wood Her deposits of cement rock are surriftent to supply the world wlth the b,%idinR material Of the iutuIs' Her vast tees ot marble, equal lh quality to the finest Carrara are oeihs daveloped. and the gold ores Tn her eastern counties are rich enough to admit of profitable working. Her cii- mate is ideal and her soil is adapted not only to the growth of cotton ana corn. the great staples, but 10 snlall grain. fruits and garden truck. Her avcraee annual production or cotton is more than 100000 bales havlng market value of over S6O,oO0'OOO. The annual output of coal rom her m Mliios 1. is now about l3,00O. coo tons, worth at feast S1e.OOO 900, and her production oi Die iron is about 1,300.000 tons an nually. worth about $1S,000,00O. Prs
 iron is the crudest form of manufac' tured product and when worked up in to other shapes the tonnage mentioned
 would easily have value of s2OO'OOe'' O0N
 It is a maxim of political economists that a community blessed with anS two of the five "Cs;" climate, cotton corn. coal and coke, must prosper. Ala berna possess them all, and Is the only State so endowed.
 When all these facts are considered

in connection with the banking re- sources of the State 1t will be remark ed. not that these financial resources are 60 great, but the question will be asked rather why are they not greater than they are? During the first forty years of her Statehood the development of Alabama was mainly along agricul- trral lines, and little attention was peid to mining and manufacturing. Ten years of war and reconstruction found Alabama in the year 1870 with less than half her present population; with no credit and few banks, with an inn poverished people, and with total of assessabIe values hardly greater than the combined resources of her banks t.loue at the present time.
 After white supremacy had been re- stored and the State had regained her credit, mines were opened and furnaces were built, fields that had lain fallow were again placed in cultivation, rail- roads were constructed, and in short. all the factors in our present develop ment and prosperity became active.
 So that twenty years ago, in 1886,

CHRISTMAS EVEKGREEMS
 IN FOLKLORE AND SONG
BY DORA BARRON,

10! Now is come our ioyfulest feast, Let every man be jolly, Each room with ivy leaves is drest And every post with holly. Now all our neighbors' chimneys smoke, And Christmas blocks are burning Then ovens they with baked meats choke, And all their splits are turning, Without the door let sorrow lie, And if for cold it hap to die, we'll bury it in a Christmas pie. And evermore be merry"

reflects as quickly and as accurately the condition of the people.
 Banks in Alabama are owned koT the most part by citizens of Alabama; by men who are Of the people and whose fnterests are identical with the depcsi- tors and the borrowers.
 Regret has often bcen expressed enas the State in its financial transactions did not avail itself moro of the faciii- ties offered by it's banking institu- tions, and 1t is gratifying to know that there is now a widespread sentiment that legislation should be had looking to the remodeIing of the States fin- ancial system upon modern ana scientific lines There are times when more than S2,000, GOO of actual cash Is locked up in the Treasury vault at the capitol. representing money absolute ly withdrawn from the peoples cir ouiatiuR medium. In addition to this the State is put to considerable expense in the way of exchange and express charges. and It is hoped that the in- coming administration will be success fuI in carrying through some plan for fhe establishment of q State Depositary system so that the balances hitherto held in the Treasury will be distributs ed among the banks of the State ana aid in the upbuilding of the commerce and industries of her people. The State should of course, DC well secureu TOT money so deposited, and her banking institutions can easily provide the necessary security.
 Every village of 800 people in the State now enjoys banking facilities. and if prosperous times continue the next decade will witness a development and strengthening of these banks to such an extent that 1t is perhaps no exaggeratlOn to say that their re- sources will be increased five-fold. The benefits that accrue to the peo- ple from a strong banking system tn the State are incalculable; interest rates have been reduced; home money is provided for the legitimate wants

 Shopping is a form of cruelty in- dulged by married ladies toward their husbands It is incipfent in young girls, reaches an active condition in brides, and arrives at its most virulent stage between the 10th and the 25th year of married life
 A small, delicate, slight, nervous, sensitive woman, who would faint away at an empty mouse-trap, will go through the shopping district in from two to seven hours, and come out re- freshed and sustained by an unfalter- ing trust. if her husbands credit is good, while that gentleman at the end of forty-five minutes has to be carried home on . stretcher. Some women are born shoppers. others achieve 1t, but not one of them has 1t thrust upon her.
 shopping is extensively practised on week days, beginning on Monday with rush and ending on Saturday in time for the opera. It promotes industry without 1t married men would have time tO rest.

thara vvara forty banking institutions In tha state of Alabama, thirteen Of these being NationaIs Banks The com bined deposits of these thirteen Na- tionaI Banks at that time amounted 70 6,500,OO0. During the past twenty years the State has made marked pro- gress in all fines of business Her as sessable values have increased year by wear. all realty, farm lands as well as town lots, has increased in valuei her tax rate has been lowered and her income is ample for all requirements
 No state in the Union has hlgner credit than Alabama, her bonds bearing five per cent interest which sold thir ty years ago at less than forty cents or, tha dollar have recently been re- funded into four per cent bonds which are worth on the market more than nine per cent premium, and 1t IS q noteworthy fact that of the S1,0OO,OOO of bonds awarded few months ago to a syndicate making the highest and best bid. that about ons-thtrd or the amount went to Alabama banking in' stitutions.
 As compared with forty banks twen- ty years ago. there are now in Ala barna 234 banks of deposit and dis count. of which seventy four are Ma tiohaI Banks, and 160 are State Banks. The National Banks report to the Comptroller of the Currency at wash ington, and the State Banks to the State Treasurer at Montgomery. The Latest Figures.
 Figures are now available from the National Banks as of September 4th. 1 1908, and afbm Ikhe State banks of october 10, 1sV6s the date of the State i Treasurer's call On these dates the | banks reported as follows.

 The Comptroller of the Currency calls on National Banks for statements five times a year and the State Treas urer calls on the state Banks twice year; once in the fall and once in the early spring. In order to reflect ac- curately the condition of all banks in the State. would 1t not be good idea for the Treasurer to make his calls conform to the dates named by the Comptroller of the Currency?
 An Idea of the growth of banking in the entire country during the past twenty-five or thirty years can be had when it is remembered that while the city of Chicago now has one bank with over S10O, 900. 900 deposits, another with over s90.000. .000, and three others with over S50,0O0 ,O00. that thirty years ago the deposits of the three largest banks In Chicago were less than the deposits of the three largest banks in the State Of Alabama at the present time It will be admitted that the growth of banking in the State of Alabama has but fairly begun when one reflects | that the figures just given showed the combined deposits of all the 334 banks doing business in the State of Alabama are exceeded by single banks | in Boston Chicago and New York. The l resources of banks in Alabama should 1 increase much more rapidly during the l next ten years than at any previous i period as the attractive force of assets | already held by them is very great, and each additional bale of cotton raised. 1 each new factory, mine, quarry, ma chine shop or mill, increases the use- fulness of banks and adds to their re- | sources
 DepOaits are TneFeaHing.
 Many names are added each day to the list of depositors in banks who have not hitherto availed themselves oi banking facilities. The wage earner is 1 recognizing the advantages of a bank account, and the farmer who formerly buried his money or hid 1t away in the garret has already learned some | thing of the benefits of banking faciI' ities. In fact, one of the most satisfae' tory features of banking today in Ala bama is the improved financial con dftion of the farmers and their ability and disposition to carry bank account: The farmer has learned that he ne longer has to pay usurious rates of in- terest, and he has found that he car negotiate his loans on as favorable terms as the merchant can.

 The bay, or laurel. is often used as a type of the Resurrec tion, owing to the fact that after it is withered, and apparently dying, it was sometimes re- ,,ived. and seemed greener and fresher than before. This tree is celebrated in mythology for the following reason ; ;; Once when Daphne, the beautitui daughter of Peneus, was flying from Apollo, she reached the bank or her parent stream almost exhausted. In despafr she called upon the river goa for protection, and was Immediately changed into a laurel tree.
 The Greeks considered the laurel a nrotection against misfortune, and their dfviners or soothsayers, chewed inc leaves. pretending that they thus gained inspiration. From its earliest history. this tree has been an emblem Of victory, a custom which mas desceho- ed to our own day.
