GOOD RESOLUTIONS.

How many new memorandum DOCKS
have been presented as an advertisement
or were purchased yesterday? In the an
nual turning over a new Leaf 1t Is
easy to resolve an expense account will
be kept, indicating the daily expenditure.
Especially is this true of the housekeeper.
Every item is recorded and it seems very
interesting an article is unnecessary.
Such means will insure a fine bank ac-
count. Just for day or perhaps week
the scheme works well, but as the month
nears its end, the pages are filled and
sadder still the cash runs low, and the
dream Is a horror.
Living expenses, no matter how simple,
require a neat salary so long as staples
are at their present value. The most
rigid economy praeticed, when itemized
and added up, are nightmare TO the
housekeeper with small income. The best
resolve is to buy for cash" If this prac-
tice is pursued 1t will give great peace of
mind and your wants soon keep within
your means. A bill tempts one to buy.

time off, and ignorance is bliss for a
while

but a great comfort afterwards, and no
where can a new years resolve be more
happily spent than the system Of paying
cash for household necessities.

PROGRESS IN TWO STATES.
Periods of Great Building Activity
Promised In Georgia and Alabama.

Columbus. Ca, January 1-(Special)-
Georgia and Alabama begin the new year
with the most promising prospects of un-
precedented industrial development and
upbulding. according to The Georgia and
Alabama Industrial Index, which in its
regular weekly issue will say tomof-
row:
1.-The recognition of the possibilities of
the vast and varied resources of the ia
vored states of Georgia and Ala bama, re-
sulting in Industrial investment and de-
velopment, has not reached its highest
tide by far. but the beginning of 1907
finds 1t stronger than ever before in the
history of the two states Large under
takings involving the outlay of great
sums and smaller enterprises are in pros
pect for the first part of the new year.
In North Georgia a water power prop
erty was sold last week to be followed
Immediately by the generation of electri-
cal energy, which will be furnished to
manufacturing plants. In Alabama Sec
ton is to be developed by the build
ing of a railroad extension, to be about
so miles in length. In Montgomery has
been furnished an example of what is
in prospect in construction progress by
the awarding of a contract for a modern
twelve-story office building and the per-
fecting of arrangements for erecting
fiVe-story business building. In Georgia
work Is soon to begin upon the erection
of buildings for eleven state agricultural
colleges In the two states about a score
of federal buildings are to be erected, the
necessary appropriations having been
made.
Among other things. the Index reports

At the Bijou.

Mr.. Barney From Ireland" the new
comedy drama in which the author,
Charles E. Blaney, presents Fiske OHara,
at the Bijou this week, is a novelty in
many ways. Mr.. O'Hara is a singing star
and plays a young 1rishman who is
graduate of Dublin college. and most of
the characters in it are either Irish or
of Irish descent, yet all the scenes of the
four acts are laid in and around New
York. Moreover, the period of the piece is
the present. This differs considerably from
the plays being presented by other Irish
actors, nasmuch as they all have to go
back to the picturesque costume period of
Ireland for their themes. Mr.. Blaney
makes it a custom, however. to get his
plays different from other playwrights.
and in that way has some plays that are
lasting successes. The usual performance
will be given tonight.

ly better than those framed for the north.
This is due to the fact that Immediately
after the great strife, southern points
revised the existing laws governing the
issuance of public securities. adopting or
dnances embracing the best laws of the
north and adding there to a separate con-
stitution for each respective state. The
laws as they now stand give better pro-
lection to the investor and the issuing
municipality.
During the last twenty years the south
has awakened to understand that the
only way 1t can progress and equal the
north is to influence capital to develop
the many resources which it possesses and
is in position to offer to the rest of the
world. The negro question is gradually
nearing a crisis, and before long a very
satisfactory arrangement will be devolved
solving the problem in a creditable man
ner. Considering, therefore, the great
amount of capital now being invested in
the south and with a satisfactory ad-
justment of the race question, southern
municipal securities should within the
course of a very few years rank In mar
ket value to those of any other commu-
nifty. In justice to the south, 1t may
be said that a southerner, a rule.
places great stress upon a debt incurred
and will use every possible effort to dis
charge 1t honestly
While the situation here analysed re-
gariing southern securities does not par
ticularly adhere to the subject in hand
still the conditions cited are always given
serious thought by the municipal bond
dealer when investigating a southern Sc
curity with the view of purchasing.

IN THE BIRMINGHAM
REAL ESTATE MARKET

The general tone of the local real es-
tate market yesterday was quiet, there
being but little trading in any section Of
the city. Inquiries continue. realty agents
state, in large numbers. but there is con-
siderable trouble In procuring satisfactory
prices, and for this reason few transact
lions are closed. This is indicative of a
strong tendency to hold property. while
the eagerness to buy is equally as live
ly. Prices are reported steady on a firm
basis.
Yesterday being New Years day, the
probate court closed at an early hour
and up to that time there was little bust
ness transacted in the way of the filing of
deeds.

There are many who have been

gradually descended the scale of honor
until they have been reduced to the
depths Of degradation, and when they
once fall utterly from their former high
positions those who knew them in their
prosperity know them no more and do
not concern themselves about their well
fare so long as their money and high
influence have vanished.
