In Letters TO Relatives He
Admits Grimes Against
God and Man

Rathdrun, Idaho, NoE. q. The
most dramatic incident connected
with the trial of Steve Adams, on
trial here for the murder Of Fred
Tyler, was the Introduction of two
letters by Jas. II. HaWley, counsel
for the state, this afternoon. They
were written to an aunt and uncle
of Adams and to his brother. Their
general tenor is disclosed in the fol
lowing extract: III

WILLIAM ].
Thinks Postal Savings Banks

1 Little Use
Suggests to i. Have Uncle Sam
Guarantee National
Bank Deposits

Washington. D. c., Nov. 21---William
Jennings Bryan arrived here at Z
o'clock this morning and went immed-
lately to the residence of Cottsr T.
Bridges 3on Capitol Hill. He was a
guest this afternoon at the wedding Of
Mr.. Bridges daughter.
Mr.. Bryan gave out the following
statement in regard to the financial
situation: 81 i&.Sl $780, IL
.'I do not know what the effect of
the new bond issue will be but it
seems to me that relief ought to come
from the other direction. The plans
so far have been intended to furnish
government money to banks, whereas
this most important thing now is to
restore confidence in ba.k deposit
cries. VI ID. .
1.-THE administration is prepared, SO
we are Informed, to recommend the
postal savings bank. While this
would doubtless encourage deposits
and while these deposits could in turn
be handed over to the. banks, it does
not furnish complete relief, because
4 the plan as presented limits the de
posts and does not contemplate the
opening Of circulating accounts. The
business community, therefore, can
I not use the postal savings banks te
fany great extent.
IS believe it is possible for the gov
eminent to give Immediate relief By
an act OF congress providing for the
guarantee by the government of al
| deposits in all national banks, ths
banks thus guaranteed to agree to re
limburse the government for any losses
incurred and to- make this reimburse
ment in proportion to their deposits

shoulder in trying to reach the mouth.

who had not sat at table in years,
take up the knife and fork and use them
after a fashion which at once disclosed

Fahy In Texas.

The Houston Post recently paid a hand
some compliment to viii Fahy. a popular
advertising man, who formerly held po-
sitions In Birmingham. The Post said:
Mr.. Fahy, the genial advertising man
of Levy's mammoth dry goods establish
ment is back from a weeks visit to his
old home In Birmingham. Mr.. Fahy had
earned rest. He got it, and seems to
have used It to advantage. His smile is
broader than ordinary and at his desk he
is yearning for pencil scrapping. Mr.. Fahy
is genius in advertising. Advertising is
an accomplishment rather innate than ac-
quired, and the firm for which he works,
Levy Bros, is willing to give due credit
to Mr.. Fahy for the part he had in bring
ing on the large increase in business
this year-an increase which showed Levy
Bros. to the front, until today they are
among the foremost retail houses in the
south.

Work for The LEGISLATURE

The legislature that met yesterday Is
overloaded with work. SO numerous
are the bills that will come before it
they almost defy enumeration, espe-
cially the bills of local nature. The
attempt of the constitution makers of
1901 to eliminate local legislation has
not been successful, and from the ma
ture of the case cannot be. The wants
and desires of two million of people
cannot be met and satisfied by general
laws.
But outside of local bills important
general acts will come up to be acted
on, and among them should be noted
these that cannot be kept down even
in committee rooms, as follows:
l. A new code.
2. Railway rate reform.
3. Local option.
4. Educational promotion.
3. Schoolbook contract.
6. immigration.
Z. The fee system.
g. Good roads.
8. Constitutional amendments.
10. Convict and Jail reform.
Alabama is becoming a great state, n
rich state, and the work that springs
from growth and prosperity immeas-
urably increases the legislative task.
1t may indeed soon become a serious
question whether the states advance
ment will not soon call for biennial
sessions of the legislature. Alabama
is attempting in quadrennial sessions
something that no other state has
dared to try-not one-not even little
Rhode Island or Delaware. There
should be no hesitation in going back
to biennial sessions if 1t is found that
a session every four years operates to
check the progress of the state to the
place that Nature intended she should
hold.

We Should Stand Touefher

The Alabama alumni have decided
that the movning of the Alabama Poly
technic institute to Birmingham is i'm
practicable, and this decision may as
well be accepted as one to be acted on
in the future.
This decision simply renders Biz
mingham's task more difficult, for it
must now begin at the foot of the tech
nical ladder 1t will never do to say
beginning shall not be made To say
that would be tantamount to saying
that Birmingham Is not to become a
second Pittsburg, for without techni-
cal school we cannot reasonably hope
to go on to the limits of our resources.
We cannot have at the outset a Car
negie institute, but we can have the
beginning of one, and then we can trust
to time and the large interests in the
great companies in this district to do
the rest.
The movement should acquire new
momentum from the decision of the
Auburn alumni, and all should pull
together. Let us all get together on
this all-important matter, and all will
be surprised at the ease with which
well-equipped technical school can be
started. Not that the outlay of the
work required is light. but when all in
this district pull together victory is
assured. There is not man, woman
or child in the Birmingham district
who would not be benefited by the
establishment here of school for in
dustrial training, and this is why all
should get together in this matter. The
Commercial club should keep up the
good work, formulating the steps to be
taken, and affording means of organ
lied action in all parts of the district
1t should be made a district matter
rather than a mere local effort of cir
cumscribed Birmingham.

Cotton SpindIes in the Country

According to the census bureau there
were in the country at the end of the
fiscal year 25,811,6S1 spindles. Massa
chusetts is easily the leader, possess
ing S,904,725 spindles, followed in order
by South Carolina North Carolina,
Rhode Island, Georgia. New Hampshire
and Connecticut. Each of these states
has more than million spindles.
Maine comes next with 931,576 spin
dies, and then comes Alabama In ninth
place having all told 870,1 54 spindles.
This was the number of spindles
Alabama had on August 81 last. She
had then sixty eight cotton mills, or
just about one to a county If they were
evenly distributed. As a matter of fact
they are not evenly distributed, and
we have fully thirty counties which
have no cotton mill.
Alabama has just about 900, 900 spin
dies, for the Ide cotton mills at Jack
sonville are preparing to add $4,000
spindles to their number, and mill in
Admission is putting in place 10000
additional spindles. We may therefore
assume that Alabama has in round
numbers 100000 spindless In the course
of time she will probably Chamber into
the million spindle class, thus leaving
Maine and New Hampshire, but not
Rhode Island and Connecticut, in the
lurch.
