 Have you ever stopped at a coun- IT yhotel where they use acetylene gas as substitute for regular Illuminating gas?" said drummer.

 Protection of Animals.
 Montgomery is badly in need of a rigid enforcement of the city laws Tor the protection of animals" said lady of Montgomery yesterday.
 As a member of the Humane So- ciety I often notice the ill-treatment of animals committed to the care or thoughtless negroes. I saw today an instance which should have called for the interference O. the police. A Wag- on pulled by two mules. passed my house. On 1t was a heavy steel rail tor the track of some railroad The rail alone would hace been a lord for the team. But perched on that rail were nine negroes, riding comfortany ging at the wagon traces as they pull ed the heavy load through the hot sun, But the negroes from tAeir seats on the rail paid no attention to the over loaded wagon and the hot and tired mules in front Such an instance as this ought not to be permitted in Mont gomery.

For Another Great Fair.
st. Louis Republic.

st. Louis Republic.
Looking to the past, the present and
the future, no more interesting enter
prise has been recently proposed
than that of holding in New Orleans
within the next five or ten years a
worlds fair to celebrate the open
ing of the Panama Canal.
The event will be worth commemor-
ating, and there is no more appro-
pirate place than New Orleans for
the celebration. OF the great cities
of the United States, New Orleans is
nearer by far than any other to 18th
mus, through which, after four CEN
turtles of dreaming, a short passage is
to connect the worlds two great
oceans.
New Orleans is the natural gateway
through which more than half the
isthmian traffic should pass. 1t is the
gateway through which it will pass
when the central inland waterway of
the Mississippi is made an open route
of transportation. And a fair cele-
brating the opening of the canal
would, it is confidently hoped, also
celebrate the assurance that the deep
waterway from Lakes to Gulf has be-
come a thing of the near future.
One bioentenniaI and two centen-
NAL events of luomentous interest are
within the time limits of the pro-
posed fair. The first, the clearing,
by Bienville in Ills, of the site on
which New Orleans has grown was the
first definite moy for developing the
incalculable resources of the Missls-
sippi Valley, by mean of which John
Law had undertaken to finance the
debt of the French Monarchy.
Law failed and his bubble burst be-
cause the pioneers he sent could find
no gold and there was not bone and
muscle to bring to light the real
wealth of the soil, forest and mine
in which the valley abounds. But
what has been done in the valley
since makes the founding of New
Orleans the beginning of one of the
worlds great epochs.
The battle of New Orleans, in 1915,
is another event in world history
which deserves celebration, for it was
that battle which confirmed for all
time to the United States the title to
the Louisiana domain which it had
acquired twelve years before.
The admission to the Union Of the
State of Louisiana, in 1912, introduced
into the ~sisterhood of States the first
land west of the Mississippi and
marked the beginning of a growth
which has brought into existence the
mighty empire lying between the
great river and the Rocky Mountains.
A worlds fair held in New Orleans
at any time between 1912 and 1918
would fttingly celebrate all three of
these momenrous events as well as
the completion of the Panama Canal
and the coming of the inland deep
waterway. II makes no great differ
ence what. year is chosen, though it
would be well if it conceded nearly
with the opening of the canal to

MONTGOMERY HOPES FOR BETTER TIMES Banks Have More Money Than
 Ever Before Low PRICE OF COTTON This Seems To Be the Only Drawback Just Now To General Prosperity
 In the State-The Treas
 ury Is Full.
BY HERvEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery, November 2S.-(Special )- Business men and bankers are taking cheerful view of the trade and finan- cial situation today, and it looks now as if the holiday shoppers were beginning to get out and look into what they will need, not only now, but later on. The writer has talked to a number of men in all lines of business ana they all take the view that bright days are coming The outlook for resumption of cash pay ments In the east is having good effect down here.
 The fact, well known to all, that local and state banks have more money than they ever had, is strengthening in it's nature and makes every man feel that at the worst the time of depression will be short. An attache of one big office said: .'I look for more money than we need in short time. The issuance of so much new circulation, the importation of gold and the restraints being put on business will all tend to make the de- mand for money less, and 1t will there fore, become less expensive"
 The only bad thing just now is the price of cotton. Farmers are holding Tor more money as everybody feels they ought to do, but the result on the banker and merchant Is hurtful. Without the payment of the debts for which the cot ton stands the merchants can not pay the banks and jobbers; these in turn are being pressed by those over them. until it looks if the price of cotton is going to where much of it will be released, and when that is done the situation will begin to loosen up.
 Strange things happen in the conduct of a state. With the business men hunger ing and thrsting for money the treasury on the hill has over a million dollars in good cash. real cash, that is not need ed at present, and might, if there could be devised way, be let out for relief of done though. It will hardly be taken out by the banks, as they can not af- ford now to put their money in bonds for collateral. Mauy men wonder why plan can not be made to use this surplus for the relief of such situations. Many will try in future to work out A way to do it.
 Trade is getting better all the time. Stores of the city are showing a re- turn to the crowded ways and much money that was taken out of circula- ton when the first hint of trouble came is now being spent The cry is heard everywhere, Pay what thou owest; then the fellow you pay can pay the fellow he owes, and the latter liquidate his debts, until a few dollars will do won ders." It is a good. story to tell, say the business men. Keep on telling it in every city of the south.
