TASK OF MAKING
 MONTGOMERY KNOWN

value of team work could be illustrated in other directions affecting almost every business side of the community.
 In the matter of the clubs power, at present largely unfelt 1t Is appropriate at this point to print the resolution passed by the convention of commer- cial Secretaries in Chattanooga
 Commercial bodies. adverse to poli- tical activity and wishing to concen- trate their efforts on matters within their particular sphere. have gone to the dangerous extreme of entirely neg lecting municipal and State affairs. for getting that their members largely de- fray the expense of government and do more than any other class to build up their respective communities. Con fronted by the great work of civic im- provement they realize that they can do little without the active aij of intelligent business-like and patriotic public servants. who are sufficiently in touch with the progressive movements Of the day to appropriate the efforts for better things. Therefore. We ear nestly commend to our commercial bodies that they keep constantly in touch with municipal and State affairs and through appropriate committees be prepared to inaugurate such enterrris- es as the situation demand, making
 
 possible impersonal. but not hesitating to use their influence against the men or the factions that make themselves obstacles to progress"
 The future Is bright before us if every man understand the true import ance of relation to every other man. The orderliness of civic life around us is ours to enjoy because there are others here beside ourselves. The op- portunity to make money through traie Is ours because of the thousands of human beings gathered In one place. In other words. the teaching of the Club is that each man attending ear nestly to his own business would req lize that it does not depend so much on his individual smartness as upon the force that brings people together in trading centers Each man there- fore, is strong only to the extent to which the community is strong and his relation to the community If once fully realized and acted upon increases his own prosperity by reason of the Increasing growth and prosperity of his ncighbor. The Club thus stands as protest against narrowness and as finger pointing onward 10 increasing altruism.

 Washington Avenue and when com pleted. the company will have store adequate for all of It's needs extending entirely through the block. Special attention has been paid to sanitation m drawing up the plans for the addi- tton. which Include the reInodelling of the existing structure. The cost Of the addition will be s1o.0o0. and 1t will Lc completed within several weeks.
 Other of the larger structures which have been completed or are m process of construction are: A two-story brick building at the corner of North Court and Jefferson Streets. owned by John A. Yung. the cost of which will be s1o.o00; brick warehouse at the corner of Jefferson and Perry Strets, owned by Mcintyre Brothers. which will cost s10,- 900; a three story brick building on North Court Street. owned by R. H. Bozeman. the cost of which will be s. 800; a two story brick building on Mon- roe Street. owned by R. S.

These structures are all business houses.
 New School Dormitory.
 To illustrate Montgomery's building progress along other lines may be men, tioned the dormitory constructed by J. M. Starke just back of his residence on Houston Street for the accommodation Of his boarding school. This structure is specious and sanitary. and Is well adapted for the purpose for which 1t Is intended. The cast of the dormitory will be sS,500.
 Among handsome residences con- structed during the eleven months past are those of ". A Johnson, South Per ry Street, the cost of which was S10,- 900: the residence of pr, J. N Scott. 135 Holcombe Street, the cost of which will be $S,000: and the residence of w. B. South Court Street, the cost of which will be s7,oo0. Many beautiful dwellings might be added 70 tho list given
 During the ensuing year 1t Is stated that the beautiful building of the hi.at Baptist Church, constructed of chIpped will be completed ana occupied. numerous delays have occurred in the process of rearing the structure and for several years only little has been done toward bringing the work of con struction to a close Arrangements have now been made. however, by which that will be accomplished in the near future The Sunday School room was completed some time ago and here the has been meeting for ser- vices, awaiting the completion of The church.
 Work on the Methodist College, which will be located on the Woodley Road, miles from the. city. has not yet been begun. It is planned to erect 3 main building which will cost sioo.- poo. It is highly probable that within the next few months the construction of the building will be undertaken.

Montgomery Handled Ten
 Million Dollars Worth of Cotton

The first bale of the crop of cotton grown in 1908 received in Montgom- cry was on the Sd dayj of August. A bale had been received prior to that at Headland. in Henry county on the slst of July which was the first Ala bama bale to reach the market. The hrst bale marketed In this city last year was on the 21st day of August. The first bale was received here in 1906 on the Sth Of August The re- ceipts for August. 1908, most of which can be taken to be new cotton totaled z,22s bales as against less than 1000 last year. It would appear from this receipt of twice as much cotton in August. 1908, as in August. 1907, that the crop is not late one. No doubt from now on for several months to come daily receipts here will be on a liberal scale. Even If cotton makers desire to hold and not sell they can store in the warehouses.
 There Is wide difference between the price which prevailed at this time last year. thirteen cents, and nine to nine and one-half this year. Whether this Is due to the idea of larger crop, or to lack of demand for cotton mill products is yet to be determined. It may be due to both causes.
 The total receipts in Montgomery for the year ending last night were very nearly equal to those of 1907. which were i7S.565.
 The following Is statement for cotton year ending August 31. 1908:

MULE MARKET IS IMPROVING It Was Injured by the
 Panic. THE REVIVAL WAS QUICK Montgomery Is Exceptional Mule
 Market. The Panic Was At Its Heishth When the Market Should Have Been At It's Best-Reaurning Pros-
 perity Has Restored
 Normal Conditions.

In comparison with the great show ing ending September 1, 1907. when Montgomery disposed of approximate ly 10000 mules and horses is the fiR- ure of 4.000. representing the business of the past year. Truly doleful com parison upon the surface. but under meath one finds that the price of mules and horses has been better than that of the year previous The mule mar ket In Montgomery more than any other business suffered from the panic.
 Not since Montgomery first received Its Impetus in the live stock market at the time when the British agents were buying mules wholesale through out the South with which to carry on the war in which England was en- gagged in the effort to subdue the Boers. has the buying been so light.
 During all of the years which fol- lowed the British agents buying Montgomery became more and more of center for the sale of the long, cared. stubborn beasts of burden. until the figures of 10000 were reached a year ago, and the best season in the history of the business recorded with a pleased smile by Montgomery deal CTS. Y"
 Preparations at that time were made for another record breaking season. but the financial depression broke over the Eastern part of the country dur Ing the time at which the farmer should have been buying live stock for the working of hts plantation the following spring. Activity almost ceased for time. and yet the price did not drop dollar. Quite the con- trary. They went up little.
 And yet the demand was slight. None could predict what end the de- pression would take, and the mule market became almost stagnant. Montgomery dealers attempted to find a market elsewhere. but in vain.
 The end of this stagnant period, however. came quicker than expected, and the mule market immediately picked up, although there was no strenuous buying. Cotton sold fairly well. and a few farmers began buying stock.
 A prominent dealer in live stock said to reporter that despite the age of the automobile the mule and horse market was on the jump this year, both as to numbers sold and the price, consequently a big season was looked for during the coming year. Prepar- ations were being made for the good season, and if conditions continued to improve as in the past, 1t would not be surprising if another record break Ing sale was recorded.
 Despite the fact that the small me- gro farmer Is beginning to see that he can improve his crop in quantity and quality by using the very best of live stock and is therefore buying free ly. the best market for the Montgom- cry dealers Is found in Georgia. And this, too, while Atlanta is acknowl- edged the second largest mule market in the United States, St. Louis being by far the first.
 There is a wide demand for the big, better grade of mule throughout Ala bama and adjoining States, and stock of such description brings prices rang
The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-09-01

ing from s20O to s250, and even higher for exceptional quality. Of course there are mules to be bought for $150. but the buying of such grades is on the decline, and only the best to be had is sought.
 Montgomery is keeping ap her repu- tation as a market for the finest of horses, and 1t seems but question of time before Montgomery will take her proper stand in thls branch, as 1t has in the mule market. It Is stated that dealers have found better pasturage for their stock in Alabama than else- where. The blue grass section of Kentucky is no finer in the results produced.
 As yet, however. fine horses are ear- ried and marketed without much profit by the wholesale dealer. While c certain trade may be advantageous, yet the keep of the animals before the trade Is effected lowers the profits to a great extent Still it is a necessity to carry fine horses. for there is a steady, though not large, demand for such.
 "It seems to me-" said a dealer last season, "only a question of a compar- atively short time before Montgomery will take her true position in the mat ter of a horse market, and be on more of an equal footing with Atlanta in this particular" and this year seem ingly has brought Montgomery & lit tie nearer.
 During the past year the demand for horses has been gradually picking up. but yet there is still a long road te travel before the city sees a market on anything like an equal footing with larger cities with an established repu- tation.
 A good cotton crop always means a good live stock market, and deal- CTS in the city, while not talking too much in the very. optimistic tone, are hopeful that the one-third fall of the past year in mules alone. and more than that percentage in the market for horses. will be recouped.

PACIFIC. CABLE
FOULED BY ANCHOR
Schooner Manila Fouls the
Cable Off the Waikiki
Station.

| For the first time since the Pacific
cable was laid, so far as Is known, a
vessel near this harbor has fouled the
cable with her anchor. The four
masted schooner Manila was foul of
the cable yesterday afternoon off the
cable station at Waikiki, where she
had drifted in during a calm and put
out an anchor to keep off the reef
So far as is known no damage to the
cable was done.
Captain Garski of the Manila,
thought he would take advantage of
the southerly wind that was Blowing
yesterday and get a good start out
through the Molokai channel for Aber-
deem. He went out of the harbor about
three o'clock. But little later, the
wind died down almost to calm and
he drifted in toward the reef at Wal
l1iki. Shortly before six o'clock he
had drifted in so close to the reef that
he was in danger, and he put out an
anchor. Later, when a breeze sprang
up and he attempted to weigh anchor,
he found that his anchor was foul Of
the Pacific Commercial Gable Com
pany's cable. He was SO close in
shore that with his anchor foul of the
cable he was in perplexing situation.
To haul up his anchor while he cleared
it of the cable was to permit his yes
sci to drift further in shore, He hoist
ed his flag to half mast and Captain
Nielsen of the Diamond Head lookout
station notified the tug Intrepid, which
started out for the vessel. In the
meantime however, Captain Garski did
haul up his anchor and with his men
lifted the cable off it and dropped the
cable back into the water. Free of
this. ENHANCEMENT and the breeze hav

The Intrepid went out toward him
but as the vessel was out of all danger,
and with a good breeze the tug did not
go close enough to speak to Captain
Garski. Apparently Captain .Garski

Intrepid reported the schooner as out

Captain Nielsen of the Diamond Head
Station was able to see clearly what
was going on by means of his glass.

anchor was foul of the cable he mott
