 Resolutions Adopted.
 The Executive Council of the Ala bama Bankers Association reported the following resolutions to the con- vention of Farmers and Bankers and they were adopted:
 ITO the Executive Council of the Ala
 bama Bankers Association:
 The undersigned beg leave to offer the following resolutions, to-wit:
 "Whereas. The cotton crop is the great money crop of Alabama, and it thus is the basis and cause of our commercial activity; and. whereas. the increase or decrease in the price of cotton of only cent per pound means an increase or decrease of $5,00O.O0O In the pockets of the people of this State, and in this way affects the well fare of every individual in the State and in this way affects the welfare of every individual in the State; and, whereas, the Farmers Union of Ala bama and the Southern Cotton Asso- citation have steadfastly held the opin- ion that 1t was unwise for the farm CTS to rush a large proportion Of their cotton upon the market soon after 1t was gathered: and. whereas. we agree with the said organization in the view that it is best for the farmers and Tor the people of the State at large that the cotton crop should be put on the market slowly and steadily; and, whereas, many farmers need assist ance in order to hold reasonable amount of their cotton and thus aid in preventing a depression in price; and, whereas the banks of Alabama have always felt a kindly interest in the men who till the soil; and. whereas, at this particular time there should be some concert of action between the farmers and bankers in this State, snd, indeed, between the farmers and bank CTS in all the cotton States; whereas, the multiplication of banks and ware- houses in Alabama affords facilities which have never heretofore existed ~-No ble price for cotton, much needed by trade, manufacturing and agricultural conditions.
 Now, therefore. be 1t resolved as follows:
 "First-The Executive Council of the Alabama Bankers Association does hereby recommend to the banks of Alabama that they extend during the next few months all reasonable &C., commodations to the farmers of this States.
 "Second--A copy of these resolutions shall be sent to the press of the State with the request that they publish the same and that copies be sent to the Bankers Associations of all the cotton States.
 (Signed) Frank s. Moody. Hugh McElderry, McLane Triton, Commit tee"
 There is no doubt that the resolu- tions will obtain the relief throughout the state.

RULING BY FEAGIN.
Liquor May Not Be Kept at Soft Drink
 Places.

Birmingh am. Sept. 15.-(Special.)-- The law adopted by the City Council prohibiting liquor being kept in soft drink stands is valid according to an opinion handed down Tuesday after noon by Judge Feagin of the police court.
 In the case of Henry French, charged with violation of the prohibition law, Attorney B. NJ. Allen contended that the city had not the authority to pass such a law. He cited Section lO4 of the constitution of the State of Ala bama. which stipulated that the Leg islature could adopt measures govern ing the traffic of liquor.
 The attorney for the defense claimed that this section did not give the Leg. islature authority to pass such law. and, therefore the city could not legally adopt such a measure.
 Judge Feagin held that while Section l04 gave the Legislature power to regulate the traffic in liquor. 1t did not prevent it from doing so. as no preventive sections were discovered. The defendant in the case was accord ingly fired.

If the directors of the National Exchange
Bank finally decide to remain in Greenville
rather than to remove the bank TO Olney-
Vile. they will as it seems to many miss a
great business opportunity. The change
can be made with comparatively no risk,
and that very large increase in business
would result there can be no doubt. The
field at Olneyville is practically an open
one, and even if the branch of the Union
Trust Company there resumes business,
there is room for a National bank. The
business for the bank here in Greenville is
limited and it is not likely to show much
growth in the future, while in Olneyville
the business with the proper management
of conservative men is sure to grow rapidly

Postmaster Knight OF So Scituate desires
to call attention to the practice of some
patrons of rural delivery Of placing loose
COINS i'll their boxes each time they desire
to dispatch letters instead Of supplying
themselves with postage IN advance of their
needs. This practice imposes undue hard
ship on rural carriers in removing 10 Sc
coins from boxes and delays them on the
service Of their routes. The postmaster,
therefore, urgently requests that patrons
of rural delivery provide themselves and
keep on hand supply Of stamps consis-
tent with and i'll advance OF their needs II
is also very desirable that rural patrons
place in their mail boxes small detachable
cups of wood or tin in which to place coins,
when necessary, in purchasing supplies OF
stamps.
