sl6,OOo0oO of savings on deposit. The fa- nous sea island cotton, the highest qual- ity of cotton known. is grown in Charles tons immediate territory, The truck gar dens of the surrounding country are not excelled in the world, and they reach the markets of the great northern cities thorugh Charleston. As a matter of fact, Charleston's business life is active, and --the balance sheets show an encouraging increase from year to year.
 This commercial prosperity may not be apparent to the casual visitor, however, for Charleston Is ultra conservative and has not taken up with new methods of town booming For instance, there is not an office building in the whole city. Some banks rent out offices. but there is no building erected for that specific pur- pose such as every other town of any size now has in abundance. The apart ment house Is as yet unknown, althougn the real estate men say there Is an in- creasingly insistent demand for them It is almost impossible to rent modest house in the city, and many families are forced to live in boarding houses, or to take rooms in ancient buildings without modern convenlences In spite of this de- mand for new houses, there is but little building going on.
 The "booster'' in almost any American city will take the visitor to the top Of high building and point out a section or the> town closely built up. the while he says: Ten years ago that was corn field" The Charlestonian will display as much pride in showing the visitor that portion of his city which escaped the great fires, the cyclone and the earth quake the while he says: Look at those buildings over a hundred years old. Lo- cal pride Is largely @ matter of local possessions.
 The older portion of the city Is given over to residences, churches, grave yaras, public buildings, banks and offices. me principal retail commercial section has been built since the civil war on the ruins of the older houses burned in 1861 and 1863 New York Philadelphia, Boston. have much that is as hoary with age as the show places of Charleston, put they are lost in the hooks and crannies of modern development. In Charleston these ancient things are close together. are not hidden by the newer order or things and give the visitor the impress sion that everything here is centuries old.
 Add to this antiquity the influence of the abundance of semi-tropical trees ana fowers-the palmettos, the crape myrtles' the figs the magnolias and the azaleas- get saturated with the spirit or never hurry. never worry" and take a walk in the street at 6 o'clock when the clerks are putting up the wooden shutters over the windows.

Tuscaloosa, September Especial )- There was a large congregation out last night to hear Rev S. E. Wasson of the Methodist church, in a sermon on the prohibition question. MT. Wasson had given notice that he would preach on this bject. and many, both for and against the measure availed themselves of this opportunity of hearing the mat ter discussed from the standpoint of the Christian and the church members. Mr. Wasson Is prominent In the state AntlSaloon league, and has been a fighter of whisky for some time His argument was very logical in his dis course last night, and he had an un- usually strong and convincing way of putting his side of the issue. He stated that he was for prohibition. In a brief summary, for the three reasons that 1t was right, that 1t made for the peace and good will of the community. and that it tended to keep in the com munity money that was otherwise sent out for the purchase of drink. MT. Wasson has already come to be re- garded as speaker of great force here, nd his advocacy of the prohibit tion measure was in keeping with his other efforts and listened to with great attention and interest by the large crowd assembled
