MONTGOMERY IS
IN HAPPY CONDITION
Business Men Are Optimistic of
the Future
CARRIES MARK OF CAIN
Governor Conner Will Not Appoint I'M
migration Commissioner Until He
Sees Clearly as to Power
of That Official.

Montgomery, March 15-(Special.) lit is
generally agreed among the business men
of the city that conditions are wonder
fully satisfactory. So far as Montgom-
cry is concerned, there is none of the
pessmism felt in the east with regard to
the financial outlook. On the other hand
every man who says a word about it
thinks that the prospects for real and
lasting prosperity was never SO good. 1t
may take a few days for recent 1egisla-
tive enacements to get adjusted, but there
is no fear that any depression will come
as result of their passage or as a re-
suit of anything else.
A reporter found President A. N. Bald
win and Vice President M. p. LeGrand
of the First National bank cheerful pair
when he called to ask about the feeling.
II do not see any reason to fear for this
end of the country" said President Bald
win. 1--WE were never in sucn good shape
in our lives, and the outlook is that bust
ness will continue to be good and profit
able. Business men are meeting their OBJ
legations in satisfactory way, and there
is plenty of money at reasonable rates
to meet the demands"
President r. J. Reynolds Of the Fourth
National was equally optimistic. 'We
have been doing well and making good
money for our stockholders" he said.
1.-The customers of the bank are meeting
papers, and while there has not been SO
large a volume of business as last year,
there has been a highly satisfactory bust

personal friendship for the governor, and
having been closely associated with him
in business way for many years, he
says that it was one of the greatest pleas
ures of his life to have an opportunity
of supporting man of such high intel
lectual powers, and one who is so thor
oughly competent to handle the affairs of
the state, as he believes Mr.. Conner to be.
The appointee was born in Woodville,
now known as Gordon, Henry county in
1916, and at the age of u, he was left
an orphan. He enlisted in the Sixth Flor
ida regiment at the age of II, and fought
in some of the most decisive battles of
the civil war. In the famous battle of
Chickamauga, he rendered most efficient
service as courier In the battle of
Missionary Ridge, he received painful
wound in the leg, which necessitated, his
confinement in the hospital for many
days. Later in a battle near Marietta.
Ca, he was so dangerously wounded that
he was incapacitated for further service
in the army.
Returning from the war, although his
fathers estate was known to have been
large, he was informed by the admins
traitor that there were no funds with
which he could start out in life, but that
to the contrary, there was some outstand-
ing Indebtedness, and by hard work. and
strict economy, he was not satisfied I'M
til he had paid every dollar of it off.
In 1884 he became acquainted with B.
B. Conner, who at that time was said to
own the second largest plantation that
was run by any one man in the United
States, consisting of 10000 acres, and
necessitating the running of 500 plows.
He became one of Mr.. Corners man.
ayers on this plantation, and the asso-
citation during this employment was the
beginning of lasting friendship between
them.
During Clevelands administration, he
was appointed postmaster at Dothan, and
at the expiration of his term, he engaged
in the mercantile business. Mr.. Smith has
been a steward in the NJ. e. church at
every place he has resided up to his re-
cent removal to this city.
He is the organizer OF the Smith Hard
