The ladies of this city are anxious for
the citizens to start and carry out Il
pla9 either of putting up a gas plant in
this city or getting the Birmingham
Railway, Light and Power company to
supply it, SO they can have fuel gas for
their homes The ladies In discussing the
question, have said: I'VE have SO much
trouble with hired help; SO frequently
we have no help at ALL nor can we get
any that we hardly know what to do.
So much of the help is trifng, while
many that are good servants will not

up and push ii through and give us
relief. We will gladly do all in our power
to assist in the matter and feel sure that
the demand for fuel gas will be so great
that any company will be well paid for
their investment"
The ladies' talked very earnestly ON the
subject, and their remarks are endorsed
by many men of this city. AS "a general
thing the negro women are trifling and
cannot be depended upon and as time
rolls on they seem to get worse and worse
Good servants are almost impossible to
be found
1t is believed that a gas plant would
be a valuable industry for this city. At
any rate. it would receive the hearty
endorsement of the ladies of this city.

ultimate triumph ever since she was

belonged to Alexander Wallou, the son,
who said that he had hidden it that
morning underneath the carpet in his
own room on the third floor of the house.

BRYAN HAS PLANS

Geyernment should Guarantee. Deepest. tors in National Banks From
 All Loss and Banks Could
 ReimhHrse Government.

Washington. Nov. 21.--William Jen- nings Bryan who was here today, was asked what he regarded as the essen- tial difference between his policies and those of President Roosevelt.
 There is difference between Pres .ident Roosevelts position and the Dem 0cfatic party's position upon the trusts and their regulation and prosecution, and upon railway rate regulation" he replied. T will try to make that diff ference plain In my address next Tues day night"
 Later MT. Bryan gave out the follow ing statement In regard to the finan- cial situation.
 T do not know what the effect of the new bond issue will be, but 1t seems to me that the relief ought to come from the other direction. Plans so far have been intended to. furnishs government money to the banks whereas the most important thing now Is to restore con- fdence in bank depositors and thus not only prevent withdrawals. but secure deposits.
 'The administration is prepared, so we are informed. to recommend pos tai savings bank. While this would doubtless encourage deposits and while these deposits could in turn be handed over to the banks. 1t does not furnish complete relief because the plan as presented, limits deposits and does not contemplate the opening of circulating accounts. I believe it is possible for the government to give immediate re- lief by an act of Congress providing for the guarantee by the government of all deposits in all national banks. the banks thus guaranteedtto agree to re- tmburse the government for any losses incurred aud to make this reimburse ment in proportion to the deposits
