It is natural that should be proud of them, as I held every position in the Montgomery Greys of '61 from corporal to lieuten- ant. and was Its only commissioned of- hcer during the memorable period from the battle of Gettysburg to the surren- der at Appomattox.

Start to Work Early for

Appeals by Phone and In Person fol Order Blanks in Advance--one Man Declares He Won't sub-

 Printed in His Paper.

The announcement in Sundays Ad- vertiser of the pony and cart contest inaugurated by The Advertiser was almost the sole topic of talk yesterday among the boys and girls all over Montgomery. The boys and girls have eagerly been looking forward to this announcement for a week. The tele- phone "got busy almost before all the carriers were gotten out.
 T want to know if can't come down and get my order blanks today, said. one young miss. T want to start to work right away"
 She was told to come to The Adver' tiser office this morning, when blanks and full instructions would be given her.
 Another one, the bright son of a prominent livery and stock dealer, in- heriting his fathers love and admira- ton for beautiful horses, came direct to The Advertiser ofice.
 T want to buy that pony" he said, what will you take for him?"
 When told that the pony was not for sale, but was to be given away, he left saving that he would be the first one at The Advertiser office Monday morn ing to get the blanks.
 At 8 o'clock sedate gentleman walked into the business office. He seemed much excited. He said that he was going to Judge Jones and ap- ply for an Injunction restraining The Advertiser from printing any more coupons fin his paper.

 Compare this enormous destruction of property with the investments in new building enterprises. Tn 1905 building operations throughout the country rep resented total investment of S526,000,- 900, and that of ie06--the highwater mark in the nations history---approxi- mated $70o.o00.00o. Thus during the greatest building year of history. noted for its phenomenal prosperity in near ly every industry. we have been able to replace only a little more than what we burnt down. In 1904 our fire losses aggregated s22s.19s,05o. and this was greater than those of any previous year. not even excepting the years 1872 and 1878 when the great Chicago and Boston fires added enormously to the total In 1905 the losses from Are showed a still further increase. cuimi- hating in the greet record of 1906
 But the waste through fire consump- ton is not the only loss which the people must pay for any extended con Migration. While the fire losses of San Fransisco have been placed at $S50. 100000, is Is estimated that the loss to business in that city and throughout the country will aggregate at least $1,000, 100000. It cost about $12,000,000 to clean up the debris and put the city in shape for the new buildings. and a further $35o,00o.o0o to rebuild and make the city what 1t was before. It will take ten years to give the city its former prestige. and at least twenty years to recover all of It's lost trade and position. In return for this loss in property and business, the citizens of San Francisco received something like $135,00o,000 insurance. The amount of insurance covering property in the burned district approx imately s235.0o0.0o0. Final payments by the companies will probably be in the neighborhood of 80 per cent of the amount of insurance involved. In the great Chicago fire only so per cent of the insurance was paid, and in the Ball. timore fire--where no earthquake oc- cured to invalidate any of the insu- rance-the payments were 90 per cent of the value of insurance. The known ratio of insurance to value was about 70 per cent, and at least five per cent of the property carried no insurance whatever.

HALF FRIES ARE NOT YET TO
 BE HAD AT MONTGOMERY CAFES

Half fries'' and "stews," with the luscious bivalve as a component part. are not yet listed among the epicurean en sembleS at local cafes, the turn of the temperature to higher attitudes delaying the adveRt of the Mobile plants and Pensacola firsts into inte- rior towns.
 But the day is not far-distant, ac- cording to local restauratuers, whom ice-capped pyramids of "in the shell" and the good things that go with them. such as celery, horseradish and tobas- co, will spur the faded appetites from the desuetude of steaks and chops.
 The oyster~breeding industry in the South has grown rapidly in the last few years, until they are plentiful and of the very finest variety. Reports from Mobile, Pensacola, Savannah.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1907-09-16

Norfolk and other points, indicate that the crop will be unusually large this year. and the price will perhaps be the most reasonable of any of the good things on the market.
 The scarcity of rice birds in all the big markets. Is almost certain that few, if any, of these "butterballs' will be seen here this year. They are be- Ing served in Savannah. Norfolk and the coast towns now at Si.50 per dozen, which is little too steep when they have to be imported to the inland towns.
 The oyster season properly does not open in the South, especially in the in- land towns, until October 1, although they are being served in several cities. These, however, are the deep-water oysters. which are not fat at this sea- son of the year, and are of poor flavor.
