rUBLIC SCHOOL FOR PALIsADE.

There is an Importance to pubic
school for Palisade second to nothing
that can be named. About the first
thing family man wants to know
in settling in any community is, How
about schoolS?" In nearly all of the
suburban developments around New
York there are ample school facilities.
Palisade, while having schools of first
quality within easy reach, neverthe-
less has none at all directly within the
village. How to get a school is
question of vital moment. 1t is worth
everything that can be mentioned
among the necessities of the times.
We are nestled here in a most advan-
tageous location, scarcely equalled on
the continent, yet are without what
would give us prestige beyond any
other one thing.
There isn't any doubt about our
needing the school. How shall we get
it? Settle the borough question.
That's it. How can this be done? In
no other way but by waking up and
going at it with a determination to
have the school, True enough we
haven't enough children here at pres
ent to fill any kind of school, but build
one and the children will come in

far into the future. As accumulated stocks are reduced there is a dosposition to enlarge output, making it probable that the active capacity on June 1 will show a substantial increase over the low point touched on May l.
 The textile markets show distinct inn provements, buyers exhibiting interest, especially some cotton goods are higher. Sales for the week were larger than ut any recent date, and the auction brought better figures than expected. In some cases the upward tendency checked con- tracts for future delivery, but this busi- Less is merely deferred as stocks will soon need replenishing. Exports to China have been resumed, although not on a large scale Many duplicate orders are reported for wool goods, a much healthier sit uation existing than for many weeks Both fancy and staple worsteds sell free ly, some mills running overtime on Ire sst' fabrics, but clothiers discriminate against wool goods, except the finer grades.
 Footwear salesmen in the western ter ritory have secured fair contracts, but New England manufacturers report that the business compares very unfavoraoly with previous years. A better feeling is apparent in the leather market.

GOVERNOR C0MER
 VISITS TUSKEGEE

Tuskegee, May 22.-(S Special. )-Gov-
 to the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute here today. Because of the governors inability to be present dur
 ing the commencement exercises of the school next week, he decided to inspect the work of the school at this time. On arrival at the depot MT. Conner was greeted by an enthusiastic gathering of leading white citizens and accompanied by them to the grounds of the inst ute, where the governor was met in the office of the principal by the of | fcers of the sch ool and by them es- corted through the academic classes and through the various shops. and
 other industries of the school.
 The governor spent the whole day
 in inspecting the 37 industries of the
 school, going into nearly every shop
 and industry for boys and girls. He
 expressed himself as being particular
 ly interested in the farm department
 of the school He was driven over the
 schools considerable acreage and saw
 the many crops being cultivated At 
 o'clock the entire student body of
 1900 students, the 150 officers and
 teachers of the school, and many white
 and colored citizens from the town of
 Tuskegee and the surrounding terri
 tory gathered in the chapel at which
 time Governor Conner spoke. He was in good voice and admonished the pu-
 pills of the school as to the responsi bility which rests upon them to each give the best account of themselves after going out from school. He also spoke of the peculiar relations which exist between white and colored people in the state of Alabama, and congrat- ulated the officers of the school upon the work which is being accomplished 1 here.
 Governor Conner was accompanied 70 the school grounds by the following leading white citizens of the town of Tusk egee, and was entertained at i luncheon at 12:30 o'clock at the home of AJ. P.

 In conclusion l desire to suggest that our club, as an organization, and our members as Individuals, bend their ener- gies to the establishment of small and diversified industries Birmingham, with her railroad facilities, cheap fuel, excel lent climate, advantage as living place, central geographical location should be the seat of manufacturing in the south. would suggest that 100 men of Bir- mingham agree to secure one manufac- I turing plant, regardless of size, during the next year. Those who succeed in fulfilling their promise should have their names placed upon a roll of honor to be permanently exhibited upon the walls of the association.
 l desire to express the sense of oblga- ton l am under to the retiring president, whose cooperation, sympathy and active assistance have been extended in all the work of the club, whose counsel has been wise and whose support has been stead fast
 To the newspapers of Birmingham l am especially under obligations Not only for reports of the routine matters of the club, but for vigorous and active cooperation in the many campaigns that have been waged. The press of Birmingham de- serves the gratitude of the community for the persistent consistent and unselfish att titude toward community affairs
 To the many members of the club who have given me advice. cheer, counsel and assistance I desire to express my pro- foundest appreciation.
 The past year has been momentous one. A year that has tried men and communities; a year of extremes, sudden and startling changes, of stress and strain. Like a good, stout boat, with honest keel, Birmingham weathered the storm.
 It is time for cheer and buoyancy. It is time for a new resolve to build Bir- mingham better and bigger and more beautiful as the years go by

DUN 6 CO.'S REVIEW.
Indications of Improvement Are We'll
 Distributed.

New York, May 22.-R. G. Dun & Co.,, weekly review of trade tomorrow will say
 Encouraging reports predominate and for the first time in six months the indi- cations of improvement are well distribut- ed. throughout all departments. Gains are small in many cases and unfavorable weather has retarded retail trade at some points, while comparisons with last year still show decreases, but as compared with preceding months satisfactory exhibits are found everywhere. In all the leading manufacturing industries orders increased and output was large.
 Lower prices for pig iron brought out a large tonnage of new business and furnace operators did not find it neces- sary to make further concessions, all though several prominent consumers are waiting for still better terms
 Buying was most liberal in foundry iron and several contracts covered deliveries

BETTER TONE IN
 WHOLESALE TRADE Business Is Still Quiet and Not
 Up to Normal DRY GOODS TRADE HOLDS UP The Pig Iron Market Is Little More Active Under Belief That Prices Have Reached the Bottom and Will Advance.
DRY GOODS TRADE HOLDS UP
New York, May 2s.-Bradstreets tomor-

New York, May 2s-Bradstreet's tomor- row will say:
 Mixed conditions prevailing in the crop, trade and industrial situation prevent generalization, except to say that crops as a whole are in rather better shape than week ago; there is a better tone in some lines of wholesale trade and re- tail business has been benefited in some sections by better weather. Still as whole, business is quiet beyond the nor nal and industry is still slack. Best reports as to retail trade come from the southwest and northwest, where weather conditions favored southern trade, is still dull. and collections are backward and eastern trade still reflects the efforts of lessened earnings due to slackness in in- dustry.
 Wholesale trade in a few lines, notably dry goods, has a better tone, cotton goods are firmer, there is some trading in fall lines ~and large special sales at auction or at cut prices, notably at New York, Chicago and St. Louis. have distributed large quantities of goods and brought buyers more in evidence than for months past. There is a better call for sole leather and the shoe trade in the west is reported active in fashionable lines, but eastern shipments are the smallest for F years.
 So far as can be seen the most ac- tive branch of the dry goods trade in all positions is that dealing with womens wear fabrics. There is more doing in pig iron as the growth of the belief that crude iron prices are near the bottom. and their claims of more doing in in- ished lines. but trading interests have refused prices of lines hitherto neglected, claiming no expansion of business can be induced by such action. Production in cotton goods lines is at low ebb, 100000 spindles being reported idle at the south, and the largest cut in wages ever re- corded is noted at Fall River. On the other hand some textile lines prices are increased at some centers.
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending May 21 number 2s4, against 2S1 last week and 165 in the like week of 1907. Business failures in Can ada for the week number 30, against P last week and 19 in this week of 1907.

] MAKES HARD FIGHT AGAINST HOUStFLY Dr. Wyman Again Points Out
 the Dangers MAYOR STILL AGGRESSIVE Wants Something Done to Prevent Ex- posture ef Food, Including Meat
 and Milk, to Dust
 and Flies.
MAYOR STILL AGGRESSIVE

Mayor Ward is energetic in furthering the movement towards better health con- ditions in Birmingham. The city authori- ties are determined that the fly must be eradicated, that another epidemic of ty- phoid fever must be prevented and that the general health conditions of the city must be bettered.
 At the meeting of the council last We'd nesday night an ordinance was passed which requires that all dairymen and other distributors of milk and butter must provide themselves with utensils that are fly and dust proof, and several similar ordinances dealing with other propositions will follow.
 The question the Mayor now has under consideration is the matter of cheap lunch Stands which have their counters abut- ting the sidewalks. It is set forth that the food offered at these places is exposed night and day. and necessarily absorbs noxous matters raised by the street
