 There is not vacant store or busi- hess house in this city and I know of several new enterprises that are now anxiously waiting for the stores that prohibition will leave vacated. This condition makes 1t certain that this Is one city where property owners will not suffer on account of their saloon property being vacated.
 Then again." he continued. "tne same condition exists here as to resi- dence property. I know of business man who came here from another city recently to locate and found 1t almost impossible to buy house of any de- scription that he could get possession of before next october.
 No, sir; there is no panic or anything even related to what Is generally known as hard times in this solid, prosperous, growing and altogether in- comparable old city of Montgomery"

 ''Thls. I believe. is the only State in the South that has not suffered the loss of one or more of their financial insti- tutions. This record for Alabama Is all the more remarkable when 1t Is ta- ken Into consideration that this ia both an agricultural and manufacturing State. The three principal market commodities of the country. cotton. Iron and building material ,and the three that have suffered most from the busi- ness depression form almost entirely the basis of Alabama's natural wealth resources and this considered. 1t is strIkingiy creditabie to the general prosperous conditions of the State and the conservatism and methods of It's financial managers that 1t has pulled through the hard times without sim gle bank failure.
