THE HONOR OF MONT.
 GOMERY HANDICAPPED
Tne Growth of Montgomery Assured By The Confidence Created By Action of It's Council Mon-
 day NiGht.

The action of the City Council Mon day night virtually making Greenwood the official City Cemetery has back of 1t more than the minutes indicate and means more for Montgomery than appears at this time
 Whom thehpresent owners of Green wood contemplated coming to Mont romery. there were two other promi- nent cities in the South that desired the company to establish cemetery in- stead of coming to Montgomery. The Vice President of the company. MT J T. Echley, a nephew of Admiral Schiey, andl now prominent banker of Mobile, having been born and raised In Montgomery, influenced the com pany locating in Montgomery.
 Mir Schley has several relatives buried in oakwood. and being unable to satisfactorily care for their graves. he desired his Company to put In a cemetery under the well-tried per- petuaI care plan, to which he could re- move his beloved ones.
 Before locating here, committee of the present owners of Greenwood came to Montgomery and were promised by the then Aldermen that if they would put in the cemetery at Montgomery. the support Of the city would be given. On this assurance the company came here and put In large amount of money that 1t would not have con- sidered investing without this proper and honorable assurance.
 The action of the City Council iast night, although composed of different members. with but two dissenting votes, agreed to carry out the moral obligation of the outgoing Council.
 This means that when the represen- tatives of the City of Montgomery make promises to capital, that the agreements will be carried out.
 This mSAns that the City of Mont gomery is able to elect aldermen who will safeguard both the interests of the City and of capital.
 This means that Montgomery will have a beautiful Cemetery under the well-tried perpetual care plan.

 Development of dirigib1e airships into formidable implements of war:
 To Nashvillians who sutfer rom , tne railways is probably the most import ant of these seven wonders. But to the world at large the development of dan~ gerous ips for war use is prob ably the most important It promises to render all Notifications and all pres ent day warships helpless. The world defenses. and possibly this may lead to peace negotiations between nations which. wasted so much time at The Hague this past summer.
 But to. the great mass of the people in this country, Mr. Edison's invention of steel molds in which modern, we'll equipped. eight-room. cement houses may De cast at about s1. .000 each. ts of greatest moment The perfection and general use of Mir. Edlson's new house molds will bring comfortable homes within the reach of the masses. The renters of today may easily become the owners of tomorrow and the problems of the crowded tenementS of the great cities win rapidly be solved by the in- vention of the wizard who has done so much for the world.

the administration forces in this state for few weeks. Perhaps ne would not fike to give up half of 1t again and once more be affiliated with Mir. Thompson in Repuhlican affairs in Alabama.
 That this step will be taken is on- fy matter of conjecture, but it. is ev- ident that the big leaders want Ala- bama to get fixed up in better shape than has been the case for some time.
 The postmasters' convention in Bir- mingharn. as was stated In The Ad- vertiser ten days ago. might have some weight in affairs. particularly now that Mir. Hitchcock has been named as one of the managers of the Taft campaign. No better organization of the South was ever perfected than that which MT. Hitchcock has under his control and 1t is thought that his ser- vices will be used In the Southern 4eld when 1t comes to getting down to business, although at this time it Is inferred that tho South was seconda- ry consideration when he joined Taft.
 It is known that Thompson is q friend of the office holders and has stood for them for some time, ana as the office holders were waiting for NIT. Hitchcock to tell them where to jump he waited with them and did not join the Taft forces when Scott did Hence the little difference. Now that Hitch cock has gone with Taft Thompson will be for him So with Thompson and Scott both for the Secretary there is no reason why they snould be pull ling against each otf.sr right here in their own state 1t Is thought that the announcement that MT. Hitchcock would be with Taft :n the fight was what prompted thf leaders calling Thompson and scott to Washington. where some agreement might be reach ed

 '1tA seemS like the cases are devet- opingl every day. intii there are now about twenty-five families who are living entirely from charity. This will easily make 100 people who are out of work and who Nhave no means to get something to eat and a place to sleep. We have been very busy in the past week taking care of a great many of these cases, but the extra strain has been hard tc keep up with aud the drain on the financial end of the army Is telling.

German Count Says President is Re-
 spOnslbIe for the Panic.
 Berlin, Jan. 14.--In the course of an interpolation in the Reichstag today, in reference to the high rate of discount charged by the Imperial Bank. Count yon Kanitze (Conservative) suggested that President Roosevelts threats against the trusts" was responsible for the critical financial situation existing today throughout the entire world.
 Count von Kanitze pointed out the unfavorabIe commercial balance of European nations. particularly Ger many, towards the United States. He took issue with the American stock of foreign trade, declaring that in 1906. Germany had imported American goods to the value of 1.2S6. 900 marks and had exported to the United States only 636OO0 marks worth. This left a balance of soc. .O00. 900 marks in favor of the United States. but the American statistics declared that this balance amounted only to 91.000 marks.
 This balance had not been recouped by shipping profits and dividends on American stocks in German hands.
