THE HOTEL MAN.
II. F.. AMBROSE PRESENTS A PAPER To
THE ASSOCIATION AT THE CIN-
CINNATI MEETING.

Mr.. Chairman, Gentlemen,
Members of the Association, Eel.
low Sufferers:
The subject that has been as
signed to me by the organization
for discussion is one, L presume,
that has caused enough thought
on the part of every one here to
fill Carnegie library, and has
sent many of us to bed at night
thinking, if not singing, that old
coon song, "Rufus Rastus John
sing Brown, what choo gone to do
wen de rent comes roun'.''
The problem seems to me to be
more serious than any that have
confronted us in generation of
hoteldom.
For the past six or seven, but
more particularly for the last two
or three years, there has been a
constant upward tendency in every
commodity used in our business !;
meats, produce, help, fruits, cot
tons, linens, furnishings of all
kinds, fuel; in fact, nothing has
escaped that would ease the hotel
mans burden. One year has seen
a 10 per cent advance, the next
another 10 per cent, and the next
Is per cent, until / think, or at
least i hope, that the zenith was
reached this fall, with soup beans
higher per pound than granulated
sugar, California peaches just a
trile higher per gallon than good
whisky, and linen SO high that if
Ohio's hotels had to use sheets as
long in inches as were proposed by
the member of the legislature in
Texas, they would be worn out
ahead of their earning capacity.
And unless the financial furry
that has been visiting the country
for the past few weeks decides to
spend the winter with us, the end
of prohibitive prices is not yet.
Now, in handling this subject,
if / deal with it almost entirely
from the standpoint of country
hostelries i beg to be excused by
the city representatives, for the
reason that our city hotels, for the
most part, have already gone over
to the European plan from choice,
or can d. so, if necessity dictates,
and in cases where they have not
done 80 and still adhere to the
American plan, they have a wider
scope in their sliding scale of
rates; for instance, from $3.50
per day to "a per day, or from $S
to $5 per day, so that raise from
the minimum rate is not so appar-
ent to the guest as in the case of
the smaller hotels, where our rates
run from ~ to $3.50, or from $2 so
to $3 per day.
The poor country landlord has
no option to go to the European
plan; with few exceptions he must
live or die with the American
plan, and speaking for myself, the
past year has made me feel very
much like dead one. With
record-breaking year for business,
with 25 per cent more gate re-
ceipts than ever before, my profits
are scarcely normal, and l feel
that there are many of us here to-
day who have the same sad story
to relate as to results for the past
year,
Without going into detail into
the many articles that 90 to make

Agricultural Society Meet.

Agricultural Society Meet.
A meeting of the Hooking
County Agricultural society was
held In this city on Saturday fol
the purpose of reorganization
The meeting was held at the court
house and quite an interest was
in evidence for the selection of a
president of the board, although
there was no contest in the open.
The following were the society 8
selections for official position in
that body for the ensuing year:
Charles j. Wright, of Logan,
president; Otto Shaw, Laurel
township, vice-presibent; L. d.
Trimmer, Washington township,
treasurer S. S. Ruble, Logan,
secretary. The official roster is
conceded good one and the selec-
tion of Mr., Ruble as secretary is
also a good one.
The society has at the present
time 100 members. These men,
bers met recently and selected six
directors from six different town
ships in the county. The new
directors selected are as follows /:
George Wright, Green; Charles
G. Wright, Marion Geo. Schaal,
Benton; Oscar Dawley, Ward; r..
d. Trimmer, Washington; John
Davis, Salt Creek.
Of the 12O members of the
society, 46 voted at the election to
select directors. The Hooking
County Agricultural Society is
composed of one director from
each township, one-half Of which
directors is elected annually. The
directorate comprises some of the
leading farmers of the county and
the confidence of the members has
not been misplaced In its selection
as is evidenced by the success of
the last two fairs.
No dates have yet been fixed
for the Hooking county fair and
it will not be fer some time yet
that the definite date will be
assigned Hooking county by the
State Board of Agriculture.
Frank Adcock, the retiring
president, has made one of the
best officials that Hooking county
every had as is evidenced by the
success of the last two exhibitions.
m mT' AuCOCh was an lHuoldllBdD
worker and was always busy
during and previous to fair time,
The people of Hooking county
should not let their interest lag in
these annual county exhibitions.
There is no reason why the fair
should not be bigger and better
than ever this year. The official
roster shows that officials of
energy and foresight have been
secured and that is half the battle
for the success of the annual
county exhibit of farm products.
That the grounds, fences and
buildings should be repaired and
shade trees planted is fact patent
to all the patrons of the fair, The
newly elected officials should get
busy and make the Hooking county
fair grounds one of the prottiest
in this section.

FERTILIZER SALES
FINAL TOTAL EQUALS LAST YEARS
 AMOUNT.
Financial Depression Had Kept Trans actions Down for Several Months. Spring Movement Brings
 Record Beyond Mark.

The fertilizer sales have at last won tbeir raca over the business in Ala bama last year as shown in state ment complied yesterday by Hon. J. A. Wilkerson. Commissioner of Agricuit- ure and Industries. Three months ago, in the great depression following the panic, 1t was not believed that the sales would run up to those of the sea son previous.
 Rut not only has the business rolled up the volume of last year, but excess in tags sold for the year 1907 1908 over l906-1907 up to June 16 this year was 55,476. The excess in revs- nue to the Department of Agriculture and Industries amounted this year to $1,665.0e.
 This statement shows a remarkable activity of the fertilizer houses in the closing days of the season. It was what the track-man would call garrison finish. Tied up without avail able cash in all the months up to and including February. the farmers looked not a bit in a buying mood. But they broke loose with the coin as soon as the financial situation showed signs of improvement And when they started to buy, the freight trains could hardly haul 1t fast enough.
 Following is a comparative state ment of fertilizer sales for the past eight years:
 Number of tags sold season 1soo-ol at soc. per ton: 1.35s.524, Cash value.
 Number of tage sold season 1soI-o7 at soc. per ton; 1.s42.5s7. Cash value. $92,129.Ss.

try It is supposed that the military of the city will pay tribute to his mem- ory when his remains are consigned to the grave.
 The funeral will be one of the larg- est in recent years in Montgomery. Colonel Wiley. for many years before he went to Congress. was a leading citizen of the Capital City. He was active in the professional. the social and the public life of Montgomery His friends were from all walks of life. He was a member of several fraternal orders, and these may possibly turn out for the funeral For a long term of years Colonel Wiley was a member of the City Council of Montgomery. It was regarded as probable yesterday that the city, county and other city officials would unite in tribute to his memory in body. Definite decis- ions on this and other matters were held up in the absence of any to speak with authority on the funeral arrange ments
 Colonel Wiley had many close per- sonal friends throughout the Second District and a number of them are ex- pected to come to Montgomery for the funeral.
