COMMISSIONERS
DISCUSS CO.
ROADS
Gave Permission TO Driving
Association to Take Clay
From County Pit.

The regular monthly session of the
Board of County Commissioners was
held last night, with Chairman An
drews presiding and Commissioners
Roberts, Clopton, Merritt and An
drews present The early portion OF
the meeting was consumed in a dis
cussion of road matters
One of the first complaints regard
ing roads was entered by Attorney C.
NJ Jones. who appeared for T. N.
Adams. The latter owns property.
near Brent station. sik'oush which a
county road paszes e IS his desire
to erect a house where the = road
passes through. and xlIaled the, board
to change the route, he being willing
to give a portion of his land for this
purpose w, E. Kilbee objected to
the petition, saying that he travelled
the road to reach his place and did
not care to travel a crooked road.
The board declined to change the
road.
j. C. Avery, Jr, appeared before the
board relative to road which Mr..
H. Bars had petitioned the board to
huild. He stated that the petitioner
would bear a great portion of the ex-
pense should the board decide to lay
out and build the same. Mr.. Avery
requested that committee be ap-
pointed, to whom he could explain the
plans showing the location of the road
Granted Request.
A committee from the Pensacola
Driving Association appeared ard
Geo. T. Morgan and Jas. NJ. Johnson
of the committee made request of
the board that the association be al.
lowed to take clay from the county
| clay pit and place it upon the race
track. Mr. Morgan explained that the
association had leased Kupfrian' !
park for the purpose of entertaining
the public during the summer months
with races and later to give Horse
Show and possibly an agricultural
fair; that such attractions were not
given for profit and were of direct
benefit to the county as they created
an interest in stock breeding and agrf
culture. The clay pit of the county
is west of the park and as the trach
in its present condition cannot be
used, it is the desire to place clay
upon it for the races.
Upon motion the request was
granted.

| Applications from Peter Murphy
Flo MeAllister and A. H. D'Alembertt
to be transferred from precinct No
II to Precinct No. 15, and that o
Joe Jacoby to be transferred to No
ia were read and the requests grant
ed. County Attorney Reese gave it a:
his opinion that this could be done
and further more that it was no
necessary for such requests to com,
before the commissioners as the su
ipervisor of registration has the au
thority to make these transfers.

The rapidty with wich crop size of the crop when one has to be ap- proxImately correct to form an intelfi- gent idea to the future course of values. and in this connection we might state that while the crop is generally believed to be not more than l3.5oo.00o bales, the move ment to market to date would indicate to the contrary. 1t showing 11.s37.ooo bales against, only s.sso. ooe year before last an excess of i.5f3.o0O bales On the same principal of calculating. find that i'm dicated spinners takings for the season about 13.o7e, bales. providing accept ances after this date be no larger than they were during the balance of last sea- son. and. when contrasted with takings of year before last, they point to about Ia, sos,- 900 bafes Whatever be the size of the crop. that is to say. in excess of 13.0o0.o0o bales. we are not prepared to say. but as for mill takings, we do not think they will exceed iS,O00,00 Nevertheless. 1t is prob able that steady markets will prevail after the reports on ginnfngs for the season have been sheived as the supply of desirable grades are, already scarce and promise to come more decidedly, with the lapse of time. a feature of encouragement in con nection herewith being the posotion of the spinner, whereby he is prepared to pay higher prices, if compelled to do so, not to the extent of a fraction. but to the ex- tent of 3 or { cents. As yet the new crop remains secondary consideration.

FinancIer'u Review.

New York. March S.-The Financier says:
 Last weeks official statement of the New York associated banks showed greater loss of cash than was general ly estimated upon the basis of the the week. This loss of cash was, how ever. largely offset so far as its eff feet upon the surplus reserves was concerned by reduction in reserve re- auirements. chiefly through an impor- tant decrease in deposits, so that the surplus recorded was a fairly substan- tial amount The loss of cash was ed a decrease of about 1 3-4 millions; the discrepancy between the officially reported losses and that which was es- timated can be accounted for by the fact that there were large remittances to Washington during the week through the New York banks of lawful money for those of their correspondents which were retiring circulation under the new law, such retirements invoIv- ing the substitution of lawful money for the bonds that were pledged tO secure circulation and which were withdrawn from the custody of the treasurer Deposits were reduced by $1s.542.700; this amount closely agrees with the sum of the decrease in cash and of the contraction In loans, so that the statements made a good proof. Computed upon the basis of deposits less those of $14,479.600 public funds. the surplus is $5,671,625 Loans were contracted by $12,22S,700. a sum' about equal to the total reduction during the previous fortnight, reflecting stock liquidation. The daily average of the bank clearings for the week was $359.- 900 900. against $3S3,000,O00 in the week of March 2.

The points of weakness that had most effect on speculative sentiment were United States Steel and Union Paclne; 37 within tho first hour after the open ing and rumors were diligently CIT culated of cancellation, of orders Tor the These received no official confirmation and the stock rallied with the rest or the market and closed at a decline or Is. The close of the stock was sup ported with fractional gain. The spe- uted to fears of a suit by the govern ment growing out of the Interstate Commerce Commissions investigation cifc and the Southern Pacafic. The Gould stocks were unsupported and there were wide declines in some of the stocks not usually active. The Pennsylvania group, including Read ing, gave evidence of absorption and there was vigorous rebound in At chison. The bank statement was re garded as weak, but its publication did late covering operations. The outflow of cash was larger than expected but the stock market liquidation was re- fiected in the considerable loan contrac- tfon. Money and discounts rose in Lon don. but Sterling exchange continued to recede here, indicating a prospect of contest for new arrivals of gold in the London market.

 s New Orleans. March 9-On Monday next. the 11th inst. there will be issued a pre- liminary report by the National Ginners' Association on the total amount of cotton ginned during the past season, which doc ument is expected to give an idea as to what the final report of the census. due latter part of this month. will show. It is generally thought that the report of the Ginners' Association will figure about 13,00o, 900 bales. although rumor had it to- day that the bulletin will show about 12,- 700, 900 bales. since there will have been marketed about 11.7o0.0O0 bales by tho time the report is issued. A report of about 13,200. 900 would probably indicate a commercial crop of about 13.500,000 bales, which is full allowance. and were such figures realized falling off in the move ment to market of about 231.000 bales would take place between now and the end of August when compared with last year, and falling off of about 1503.000 bales would be the result when compared with arrivals after this date two years ago, the commencement of which would probably begin with the expiration of the current

York is an immense moral factor.
When the country becomes con-
vinced, about the middle of October
of Presidential year, that New York
is going for a particular party, there
is always a big movement toward
that party in other States. The
party that can convince the country
that il has New York is altogether
likely TO carry a goOdly bunch of
other doubtful electoral votes.
That is why the Empire common
wealth is so important in the 1908
fight. Mr.. Bryan might get its
thirty-six electoral votes and yet be
defeated. But the truth is that
whenever the situation in New York
and the nation develops a reason
able assurance that Mr.. Bryan or
any other man will get those three
dozen votes in the college, about a
million, more or less, uncertain
voters will start for the band wagon.
So New York continues to be the
weather vane of the nation, even
though it is not the lever that actu-
ally moves the mass.
