ocleVe the AUTOMOBILE sentiment
though they are not as plentiful now as
they should be-" said a "toot-toot
wagon" dealer yesterday. Just about
twice, ~ many are on the streets now
az there were a year ago AS these
machines represent the outlay OF con-
siderable money, this Is an indication OF
the prosperity of the city.
There are many people here. how
ever. who would not have an automobile
as gracious gift. This is not because
they are afraid Of them. but because
they prefer to drive a horse. I want to
see somthins moving in front of me-
explained an anti-automobile man some
days ago. These machines may be all
right after you become used to them,
hut think the love of them Is culti-
waited taste, Just like golf. / am not
an enthusiast over the game of golf.
and for the same reason continue to
chonse the horse In preference TO the
automobile
"ReEardless of this difference in
taste" continued the dealer In the 'honk
honk' machines, they are more popu-
lar In MONTGOMERY, as in other cities.
and while the Southern man will ever
see more automobiles In Montgomery
this summer than ever before"

Bonded Cotton warehouse.
The warrant warehouse planned 10
ticalIy a certainty" said Mr.. w. HI.
Seymour, president of the Alabama DIT
vision of the Cotton Growers Associa-
ton, last night. THE Association Will
not have control of 1t In any way as the
warehouse is to beowned and operated
by a stock company to which any one
may subscribe. but the establishment
of the institution is a result of the work
of the Association.
There is no cotton warehouse OF the
kind in existence. but its feasibility is
not to be doubted. 1t subserves the
interests of the farmer the buyer ana
seller and the spinner of cotton--of ev-
cry one In fact who handles cotton.
And 1t will be of advantage to the
banks.
According to it's plans the warehouse
will be bonded. and the storing of cot
ton will be done on SUCH plans as Will
in every way protect the owner or inc
buyer of the cotton stored. AS each
bale is entered II will be classed ana
weighed correctly, the receipt for 1t
will show the weight and the grade,
and this receipt will therefore serve as
col1ateral, not only at the local banks.
but at banks in any part of the coun-
try. as 1t will represent the value of the
bale Of cotton exactly. The receipt will
also show the grade in such manner as to
make releasing unnecessary when the
cotton is re-sold.
II regard the establishment Of the
warehouse as something ofNhe greatest
benefit to the handlers of cotton, ana I
firmly believe that It will be practice
