WHERE WILL HE
 MAKE NEXT MOVE?
Macon Paper Thinks 1t Has Joke On Man Who Left That City
 for Birmingham.

It is told of certain man who owns property on Second avenue. says the Ma con Telegraph. and who for few years past has been living in Birmingham, that when the news was read that Georgia had passed the prohibition law he came i'm medately to Macon and sold his prop erty.
 He reasoned that as this property rep resented his all on earth, the enactment Of the prohibition law would mean depreciation in real estate values to such an extent that lis property in Macon would be almost valueless.
 Having sold his property, he hurried back to Birmingham and put it in real estate there. Now that Birmingham has just gone dry, his frierds are wondering where he will next invest his money. They look at 1t as Q case of jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.

Statement Is Issued, Which Says He- ceivers Seek Cooperation of Busl- ness Community In Carry

Edgar L. Allen, J. o. Thompson and D. G Chandler. receivers of the Southern Steel company, E. K. Campbell. E. IL. Dyer and Augustus Benners, attorneys, and J. D. Lacey parties at interest re- turned yesterday morning from Hunts vile, where they appeared Friday be- fore United states Judge Oscar R. Hund- ley in chambers.

 Col. T. G. Bush, who was appointed by Judge Hundley as a fourth receiver or the Southern Steel company, qualified yesterday. A meeting of the receivers was held in the company's headquarters in the Brown-Marx building Colonel Bush was elected chairman and most Of the day was spent in organizing Tor work and in examining tn conditions of the company's affairs, with view of making necessary plans for continuing the operation of the plants under the or- ders of the court. It is said that pro- visions have been made to raise funds for the payrolls.
 The following brief statement was given out at the conclusion of the meeting; "The plants will all continue operation It appeared to be the sense of the re- ceivers that they would retain all the employees that may be .needful for car rying on the business of the company, and as soon as they can ascertain as to that matter the employees will be Sd of the needs of the different plants. The that the ore mines and the coal mines will continue in operation to the extent of the needs aof the different plants. The receivers hope soon to be able to make a statement to the court and the creditors of the liabilities and the available as sets. They seek the cooperation of the business community, especially of Bir- mingham and Gadsden. to aid them 1T carrying on this work which is so impor' tant to the interests of the district anc | to a large number of employees"

transportation companies as abso

lutely necessary"
 Those who are familiar with the con- ditions in Alabama and Georgia will readily read In the foregoing the de- mand of the right to destroy, under the guise of regulation.
 This and other assertions contained in the signed statement, taken in con nection with the laws enacted by the last legislature (which, as is well known, were prepared by skillful at torneys under the direction of the gov ernor. and which, If enforced, would render operation of railroads in Ala bama improbable so far as it can be done by the regulation of intrastate traffc) makes clear the animus, and demonstrates the insncerity of the all legations. It is known that some of the statutes enacted were so onerous and unreasonable that the patrons of railroad companies are refusing or re- Training from requiring their enforce ment. The insincerity may be tested by every one in answering the follow ing query, which describes the real question at issue
 Will the citizens of Georgia, or other states or other countries, invest their savings, on which they may desire to receive n satisfactory return, to create railroads fin Il state country where the remuneration received for the transportation of persons and property is fixed by the agents of the state, with out the state assuming my responsi- biIIty for the result, and, in addition to fixing the rates and exacting Onerous taxes, enacts laws regulating the con duet of business and the relations be- tween the carrier and it's patrons in n manner that, if enforced. will greatly embarrass, and probably financially em- barrass, the carriers.

This trick is being severely condemned by business men who know the value of the checks and who appreciate the public spirit of the banks in issuing them for the general good.

Sunshine and general good feeling over improved financial conditions made yes terday a bouyant Saturday in business circles in Birmingham. Trade was active on all the shopping avenues, and the tenn porary circulating medium, the bank cashiers check, was largely received by merchants
 On Monday the banks will begin to issue New York exchange pay checks in denominations of s1, $2. $5. $10 s20 and $50, and these checks will be accepted as equivalent to cash, not only in the Bir- mingham district, but throughout the country. In Chicago, Cincinnati, Louis- vile and St. Louis New York exchange is commanding premium of from s1 to S5 thousand; and that means it will be at premium here in Birmingham.
 The local checks drawn by bank cash iers are good, of course for their face value and are so taken by all reputable
