Much interest is being aroused among our citizens in 8 movement to establish a free public library.

 borrows the money from us and makes
 us pay the interest. and even builds ware
 houses for storing the cotton after he
 has bought 1t. and makes us pay for tho
 warehouses, in fact making the farmer pay for all the charges of handling tho crop.
 Mir. Smith expressed the hope that Bir- mingham might be the headquarters of
 the Cotton association the Farmers union, the system of exchange, and in
 fact everything in connection with the
 new ideas and plans for handling the cot l ton.
 Represents Farmers Union. George McEldery of Taladega, repre- senting the Farmers union, spoke of tho
 plans of the union and thought there was
 a conflict between the plans of his organ 1 ization and the plans for cotton ex- change. He had not heard the explana- tion of MT Nesbltt in regard to the ex- | change, and 1t was stated to him by MT. l Harding and MT. Nesbitt that both or-
 ganizations were working to the sama | end, the union to warehouse and sell tho cotton and the exchange to provide a | place where the cotton could be sold on l the warrants issued by the unions ware l houses, as well as the warrants of other
 warehouses.
 J. William Hawke and John W. Wade
 spoke in favor of the plans for the ex-
 change, and following their talks MT. | Nesbltt made a further explanation of
 the plans and moved that a committee be appointed to draw up a constitution and | bylaws secure q charter from the state
 of Alabama and be ready to report what | it had done at a meeting to be aclled
 within the next sixty days
 The committee appointed consists ot | w. P. G. Harding, representing the bank | ing interests; B. D. Miller, the mills; | Charles Gay, the Cotton association; w. | M. Drennen, the merchants, and John w. | Wade, the buyer. It was also moved that
 a member of the Farmers union be on
 the committee. but at the request of the
 union delegates none of them were in-
 cluded. They were, however. requested
 to have a representative present at all i the sessions of the committee so they
 could keep in touch with the plans.
 To Be $2o,ooo Corporation. | The resolution of MT Nesbitt specified
 that the exchange should be s2O0OO cor
 poraton. composed of 100 shares, valued
 at s2C0 each and that at least fifty of
 these shares should be sold or sub
 serlbed for before the committee pro- ceeded with its work.
 | It was so late by that time that many
 of the men present had been forced to leave. Subscriptions to the stock were
 asked for and every one present, with one
 or two exceptions, subscribed as follows: | W. D. Nesbitt, one share, guaranteed six | others; w. P G. Harding. one and guar
 anteed one; and the remaining men for
 one share each: Mark Lewis, J. B. Walk CT, B. D. Miller N. II. Burt, w. M. Dren-

MEMBERSHIP RAGE
 IS STILL SPIRITED
Y. M. c. A. HAS INCREASED FROM 800 TO sao, AND HOPES TO HAVE 1000 BY MAY 1-BIG BANQUET IS PLANNED,

The membership race, instituted several months ago by the Young Mems Chris ton assocition is now entering, on the last lap, and the various teams are bending all their energies for the home stretch. For weeks they have run and worked and the results of the members efforts are now evident Notwithstanding the fact that there are always numbers leav ing town and the association losing for reasons of that kind, the membership has increased from below 800 to 930
 This is the result of individual solicita- ton. Every member has tried to carry in his friends, and if he once gets them inside the gymnasium and pool they are sure to join. The race has been hot from start to the present. Every department of the association it represented by a team, and led by their captains they are hearding in new members rapidly.
 During the last week the membership has been increased by almost thirty. Sec retary Jackson is highly pleased with the enthusiasm displayed, and is urging the members to further efforts. Here is q sample of his work:
 "Be a booster,
 Get new members,
 Eat good dinner.
 1000, 1OOO."
 The contest closes May 1, when grand final dinner will be given to all those having obtained member. It is hoped that by this time the full 1000 will be on the rolls, but it will require even more hustling than before. The teams are so close together, however, that this may easily be expected

Bonded Warehouse Company VIII Issue Certificates Good
 Al Any Bank in. South
PROMINENT COTTON MEN
 LAUNCH GREAT PROJECT
Committee Is Named to Work Out De- tails-ls Continuation of Plans Discussed By Southern
 Cotton Association.

| Last night at the Hotel Hillman plan
 was evolved of far-reachlng significance to the cotton world. It will place the
 cotton dealer upon the plane of the
 banker and contribute still further bene-
 fits to the cotton producer in addition to
 the many efforts in behalf of the latter
 by the Southern Cotton association with
 in the past two years,
 In plain words. project was formed for organizing a million dollar bonded warehouse company for the purpose of issuing bonded certificates for cotton which shall be accepted in any bank in the south as collateral and equal in face l value to a bank note.
 l The meeting was presided over by liar vie Jordan, president of the Southern Cot | ton association, and participated in bN other prominent officials of the associa- | tlon, bankers and others interested in the | subject The meeting was informal and
 lasted three hours, during which every
 phase of the subject was discussed thor
 oughy and eliminated in the appoint
 mFt of a committee which was empow-
 cred to formulate the plans, work out the details and finally to call a meeting of
 warehouse and financial interests within | the next ten days, which shall perfect the
 organization of this great corporation. Composed of Prominent Men.
 The committee is composed of the fol- | ar.rio chairman; E. D. Smith, South Carolina;
 J. P. Allison, North Carolina; John B.
 Walker, Georgia w. P. G. Harding, Bir-
 ming; G. ". Pratt. Pell City, and l Charles B. Teasley, Montgomery.
 In the formation of this bonded ware
 house company is the continuation of the
 various plans which have been submit
 ted to the Southern Cotton association ] during the past three years, notable l among which are those presented by s. I A. Witherspoon of Meridian, Miss. and
 Eugene Williams, of Waco, Tex, each of
 whose plans had good features but were | not adopted at the time because they 1 were not considered feasible The Wither- | spoon plan as presented before the meet | ing of the Southern Cotton association nearly three years ago was a tremendous project, embracing the formation of a cot | ton purchasing association with capital , of $1o0 00OO, GOO to buy up and hold enough | of the corp to enable the organization 1 to control prices. but was not adopted, l owing to the enormous capital required. 1 The Williams plan was to organize an 1 association for the purpose of building a l great chain of warehouses and issue cer- 1 tificates for the cotton stored therein on
 somewhat similar plan to the present | one, but this also lacked features of | practicability which prevented its adop- | tion.
 The promoters of the present plan be- | lieve they have at last reached a solution l of the warehouse and financial ques-

tions relating to the marketing of cotton, and in its practical workings greater benefits will be derived by the dealer and producer than by any other method.
 Take Part In Discussions.
 The discussions last night were parti- cipated in by Harvie Jordan, president of the Southern Cotton association; w. D. Nesbitt of the Warrant Warehouse com- pany of Birmingham. E. D.

 Cheatham Discusses Project.
 Richard Cheatham discussed the two meetings held here before he left for Atlanta last night and declared that the organization of the spot cotton exchange and the bonded warehouse company were the greatest accomplishments ever at tained by the cotton men of the south and that Birmingham is the proper place to launch such enterprises.
 Birmingham, with her great iron and financial interests" said he. lis the most suitable center from which to carry on on such enterprises. Here the plans can be taken up and carried out by persons unbiased by cotton speculation and sue cess Is assured by the strong financial interests associated in the working out of these plans which shall bring a rich har- vest to the cotton producer.
 Tn the spot cotton exchange there will be a radical departure from dealing in future contracts and the whole purpose is to build up the cotton trade and divorce 1t from the gambling features that tend to bring injury.
 "The bonded warehouse project will re- duce the cost of storing cotton to the farmer and make his certificate as good as the bank note which he knows is worth face value"

GUNNELLS PLEASED
 BY NEW DECISION Money for Rural Schools is
 Available This Year MANY APPLICATIONS ARE IN According to Law the State Will Give $2oo to Any District Raising the
 Same Amount for a New
 School House.
MANY APPLICATIONS ARE IN

H. C. Gunnells state superintendent of education, spent yesterday fin Birming- ham, and discussed the decision of Attor- ney General Garber to the effect that the state appropriation of $67,OC0 was available this year. MT. Gunnells was very much elated over the decision and stated that it was an advance of at least a year i'll educational lines in many parts of the state.
 ''The law provides that the state will give S20O in any rural district where an equal amount Is raised to build a rural school.' said MT. Gunnells. and l have to approve the plans for the school house. In nearly every instance the people raise more than their $20O, in many instances as much as $500 to $500, and this with the $2OO from the state makes it possible 10 build a school house costing from Sl00 to 5000 in the rural districts. This of course is distinct advantage and insures the immediate erection of large num- Der of such schools in the state. It will be a great advance, the extent of which is not appreciated by the general public, nor by anyone who has not made a care full study of the conditions.
 T have already a large number of ap- plications for the>state appropriation from different rural districts with a promise that they will raise several hundred dol lars with which to build a school house.
 'There is another thing that might be interesting to Alabamians and which has not been emphasized sufficiently. Alabama took the Southern Conference for Edu- cation by storm recently. We had a large delegation at the conference, and we have made such tremendous strides, and have done so much for education in the past year or so that the delegates to the convention were surprised and I can say without hesitation that we created the biggest impression of any state repre- sented at the conference"
