Moth Balls Were Shaken
 From Last Year's OUercoafs

would appear in Northern Alabama this morning. In fact it is said that the frosts will come as far south as Clanton, just missing coming to Mont gomery. It Is also predicted that Montgomery will get a temperature of about forty-two or forty-fve degrees this morning. and that fair weather will accompany the lowering of the mercury.
 The cold wave Is due to an area of high barometer central yesterday over Kansas and that part of the West. It Is moving slowly in an easterly direc- ton with the cold in it's grip. The rain of yesterday was due to the fact that the influences of this high acted upon the tailend of an area of low barometer just escaping into the ocean over the coasts of Georgia and the Carolinas. This dismal part of the cold win disappear during the early hours of the morning, if not sooner, and to- day will be bright and crisp.
 Are you going to wear your over coat2
 Storekeepers say that it Is going to snow. The weather prophet says that 1t will be clear, some say that it's going to rain. but that makes little difference. Are you going to wear your last winters overcoat?

It matters not how much he may disclaim the influence that his personality has exerted on the fortunes of the Laurel Line. there can be no doubt that his urbane manners. his general cheerfulness and disposi- tion to please. and his application to business have popularized the line with thousands of people who de- lighted in doing business with cor poration that manifested the genial and obliging spirit that was always conspicuous in the office of the Traffic Manager of the Laurel Line"

Wyly has lived for so long, as it Is an index of his character as read by men who have known, him long and intimately, and we are glad to welcome Mir Wyly to Moftgom- cry.

 Determining to take time by the forelock the committee had Mir.

 MT. Olmstead on his visit to the club grounds made some tentative sugBes- lions as to the general improvement of the beauty of the vista to the front of the club house. One suggestion is the planting of trees in the first hedge to relieve the monotony of the view.
 As soon as Mir. Olmstead returns to New York he will put his plans on paper and the committee will attempt to carry them out some time hence, probably in the early spring.

Did you wear an overcoat yesterday? If you did. why did you, and if you didn't, why didn't you?
 Funny how many sick people there are in Montgomery who appear dailq on the streets with smiling faces. Have vol noticed it7 No? Then walk down Dexter avenue during today, see a man you know coming up the street with an overcoat on buttoned up around his chin, and ask him why is wearing an overeoat.
 There's nothing to 1t. He'll tell you that he is a sick man, and that the overcoat is needed because of his run down condition: Pleasant middle aged persons will tell you that they are get ting old. and then will un-botton their oyercoats when you tell them that they don't look their statement.
 Oh yes, it's funy how many sick people there were on the streets yes- terday when the rain drixzIed, and the thermometer lowered about the sixty mark.

TREASURY DEFICIT
 THREATENING STATE

Commission has already Issued a statement showing the intangible as. sessments this year to be short of the valuations last year, and the indica. tions are that the physical valuations when aggregated will not more than offset this shortage.
 The intangible franchise tax law is calculated to be an added source of revenue, but the chances are that the attack which the railroads are making on this law will hang in the courts for more than the year coming. They are the chief taxpayers under this statute.
 With these facts known to the Gov. ernor several weeks ago, he has of late begun retrenchment policy. which. in certain particulars, is with out parallel in the States history. The accounts that he has -penciled have heretofore been deemed essential to the proper administration of the departments. from which they came. It Is said the retrenchment is pinching several in some quarters. And it is not impossible that sQueal will be, heard at no distant day.
