FURNITURE FOR JAIL.
COunty's Free Boarding House Beini
 Ecuipped


 When the Board of Revenue makes Thursday. the members will probably find everything in the best of order. The remodeled portion Is rapidly be- ginning to look like a full filedged modern iaii. and bv Thursday. everv- thing will be ready to receive the Board.
 Furniture men were engaged yester- day in fitting up the rooms that will be used for the sleeping apartments of the jaiiers and one of the deputies that stays at the jail at night. The furn- iture being used is not the expensive kind. but 1t sets the rooms off to 6 good advantage and will look as good as the rooms used for similar purposes in other counties.
 Just what action the board will take on the suit recently brought against the Bynum Construction Company. in which the county figures quiet proinin- ently, has not been made known. Nothing was said about 1t at the last meeting of the Board unless it was ta- ken up in the executive session.
 The members have not stated what they are going to do in the matter. but it is thought that they will pursue the methods outlined In The Advertiser a few days ago. Under the contract that the Board of Revenue has with the By mum Construction Company. 1t will hardly be possible for the controversy to in any way interfere with the time when the jail was to have been turned

MATTE BROWN, cAFFEY
 WITNESS, IS RELEASED
Last of Women in Notorious Case Out On Bond.

Last of Women in Notorious Case Out
 On Bond.
 When Hattie Brown was released from the country jail yesterday after noon, the last of those persons con- nected with the famous Caffey cases had secured their liberty. The wo- man has been held as a witness and in default of a $150 bond had to re- main in jail. Even after Caffee was acquitted of the most serious charge. this woman was made to stay in jail to appear as a witness in the other cases. which were to have come up last week. They did not come up, how ever, and she had good prospects for staying in prison until the February term of court. but her friends came to her assistance yesterday and she was released.
 Probably one of the reasons that this woman could not get bond sooner was because she took sudden leave from Montgomery last summer just before the case was called. She was one of the women who was caught in Texas after two trips to that State had been made by deputy sheriffs. She is now at liberty and will not come into the limelight again until the February term of the criminal court. when she will again appear as witness.

 Georgia.
 Columbus, Ga, Dec, 17--fSpecfaD - The Georgia and Alabama Industrial Index will say tomorrow in It's regular weekly issue:
 "During the past seven days seven teen new corporations have been or ganized in Georgia and Alabama with total minimum capital stock of Sl,- g63,5Do. This sum. large as 1t is, does not represent the whole amount of in- dustffaf and construction investment protected in the two states during the week, but 1t speaks most convincing ly of prosperity and progress. If money talks, these figures tell elo- quently and tersely that Georgia and Alabama not only are not suffering any i'll effects from the recent finan- cia1 furry, but. to the contrary, are enjoying increasing development of their rich and varied resources.
 Much of the capital which is to be employed in the new enterprises re- ported by The Index this week is money that comes to Georgia and Ala bama from other sections. showing continued and growing appreciation of the possibilities to investors which are afforded in these two states. These possibilities need but be developed to become dividend paying realities. Some of the largest investments made In Georgia and Alabama during this year have been in the extension of plants and in the establishment of more industrial plants by people who lad tested the returns from invest nents in the two states"

PARDON BOARD CONSIDERS

yeventeen of These Were Sent to the
 Governor With Recommenda-
 tions.
 A long session of the Pardon Board was held yesterday, during which twenty-eight cases were considered. all of them on petitions for executive clemency. Prisoners now confined in the State prison evidently believe this is the proper time to make appfca- ton for pardons in order to get out for Christmas.
 The Board carefully considered the cases and sent seventeen of them to the Governor with recommendations, some favorable and others otherwise. These cases will be finally passed on by the Governor when he returns from his hunting trip to Florida and the pardons wall be, issued In ample time for those benefited thereby to get to their homes and eat Christmas din- ner with the loved ones, however hum- ble the home might be.
 State prison officials and health of- ficers who make the rounds of the camps, report that they are besiegec with petitions from the prisoners for their influence in securing pardonz for tn em.
 'I know of several that are crazy to get out" sad one of these officials yesterday, "and many of them are better off in prison. Particularly per- sistent is an old one-eyed, one-legged negro. The officials over this old ne- gro declare that he could not make a living if he were released except by stealing, and 1t was predicted that when he had been out a week he would have stolen every chicken in Mont gomery."

Since 90 much talk has been heard lately about New York resuming the payment of currency local people nave been somewhat interested. owing to the fact that when the currency begins to come South the Southern banks will probably retire the clearing house cer. tificates. Rumors have been hearo from time to time that certificates are about to be retired. but they have been without foundation. as the local clear ing house, association has taken no action whatever on the matter, ..
 It is hardly possible that date Will be set when the script will start to Do called in as some of the bankers think thatft would be an unwise action. when the proper time arrives for call : ing it in nothing will be said about 1t. but the banks will quietly hold the certificates when they come in This action may be taken generally over tne South.
 The reasons for this are many. The principle one is that there will be no

special rush on the banks by persons wishing script for United states money. The people generally like the scIip. all right. but they would rather nave the standard money and tho osnkeIs think that If they designate cer!ain time when certificates will be retireo that they would be kept busy excnans- ing the two kinds of money.
 It Is thought by local men who nave studied the conditions that since the Chicago banks have started to retire the certificates that New York VIII he urged to begin the payment of cur. rency which may result in some real money coming South within short time. Montgomery bankers would ike to have the distinction of being in the first Southern City to recall the cer. tificates but they feel that they should not let sentiment get away with good business proposition so they Will pc sure that they are on the safe side be- fore they take any steps along that line.

WOULD MAKE BUREAU OF POST
 ROADS TO END AGITATION
Jehn Leary, New York Lawyer. ,Has
 . Plan.

John Leary, . we'll known New York lawyer. who is advocating the estab- lishment of . National Bureau of Post Roads. whereby railroads can be ta- ken over bv the national government. was In Montgomery yesterday, en route to Union Springs. where he will spend the holidays with relatives.
 Mir. Learv believes that the only and final culmination of the anti-railroad agitation will be the establishment of a Department of Post Roads. which, acting under constitutional authority. charge of various roads as . neces- sity for the completion of the postal service.
 He has crvstallized his ideas in a strong pamphlet which has just been laid before members of Congress. An effort Is being made to have Congress take some action. The objection to such q bureau in the South, Mir. Leary said. would come from the fear that 1t would give the negro social equality in travel and in work on the roads. He says. however. that it would be no trou- ble to embodv in the bill q provision which would make this impossible.
 MT. Learv embodies his unusual views in the following statement of his plan:
 "Let us see. in a rough, on-hand manner, without elaboration or detail. how 1t would work. You are appointed Minister of Post Roads. You have pow CT to take over such roads as In your judgment in due course of time would seem wise. You decide. say. on tho Santa Fe system. Your first act would be to ring up President Ripley and ask him to remain. then the Board of Directors, then every employe down to l the very humblest. And so you would | proceed from system to system, realfz- ing that since. in the order of our po- | litical faith, we believe q Governor and 0 Legislature is necessary to run . l State, a Mayor and Board of Alder | men necessary to run a city, d Presi. don't and a Board of Trustees to run a town. then a President and a Board of Directors would not be too much tc I help you run a great railroad system with interests far greater than many of our States.
 Now, when you recollect that in or. | der to take control of a railroad you would not have to wait till the govern. ment paid for it--that. in law, can bt done afterfard--you could go into i'm. mediate possession and control ant make your payment afterward, you set your task would not be necessarily ( very vague. tangled or complex one not one that need disturb single ''of
 fcer or employe" in the discharge o
 his present duties. It would be pre-
 eminently a 'bloodless victory" peaceful change. Your advent into tn, field would not be a signal for disorder
 or trouble, but rather an indication O
 future tranquility, security, better feel
 ing, assuming to the investor and tn, | stockholder--your advent would re
 store confidence to the financial worlt
 and put an end to business troubles"
