ALABAMA'S MARBLE
MONTGOMERY COMPANY TO FIX
 PLo1T sTATE oUARRsns.
Alabama Company C Formed to De- vesep Properties h Talisaegn
 oouaty--Deposfts Be-
 lssved to ne of vafue.

'.The Alabama Marble ouarries" re- centiy incorporated under the Alabama State laws. held . meeting at s:so o'clock Tuesday night and elected of- hcers and board of dirsctors for the ensuing year. The meeting meet, was a ns,o ac Dexter Avenue. The following men were elected:
 pr. J L. Gaston, Montgomery. Pres- ident III L. McEldery. Talladega. Vice. President: Louis B. Farley Montgom- cry. Treasurer; T. J Scott. Montgom- cry. Secretary: J.. Taylor Scott. Mont gomery. General Manager.
 Directors: pr. J. L. Gaston. J. Mckinney. F. J. Parsons. G. e. Scott. all of Montgomery; E. L. More of Riv- or Falls, J. K. Dixon of TaIladeea.
 The Alabama Marble ouarries owns property near Sycamore in Talla- dega County, within one mile of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, up- on which valuable deposits of marble ar0 said to be. This property was purchased by the firm of Scott and Sons several years ago, and since then a careful investigation of the deposit has been made under the supervision of experts. Within the last few month, months : company was organised to stock of $soe.00o. divided Into s0.oe0 shares of the par value of tlo each.
 The result of the investigated has shown, so 1t is stated, that the deposit Is 300 feet wide. more than 1000 feet long. and of depth unknown. Bor- ings carried to a depth of l3s feet did not penetrate through the marble. From calculations based upon the inc vestigations made. 1t is stated that suf- ficient marble exists to keep In opera ton for ls2 years a quarry with an annual output of 250,oo0 cubic feet. Tho actual quantity of marble con- tained is said in all probability to be incaloulabie.
 The quality of this marble ts ds- clared to be much better than that of Georgia marble. and Is said to be su- perior even to the Vermont product. It takes very fine polish. being aspe- cially adapted for interior work. In fact the high quality of the samples obtained would indicate that the mar bie will never be used for exterior dec- oraticn, as it will command such a price as to prohibit it's use for this purpose. being perfectly adapted for statuary, and monumental purposes re- quiring close texture and high polish.
 It Is interesting to note in this con- neetion that the quarrying of marble Is not an industry new to Alabama. Previous to the civil war quarries were worked by hand, slaves being employed for the labor. After the war the industry was destroyed because of inability to obtain suitable and cheap labor.
 In the last several years. a quarry near Syliacauga has been operated by Chant Brothers It is stated that the demand for Alabama marble is always , in excess of the supply.

Too white for any sullying

Not fearing any bullying;
But, back of these. are some who fish
To get the laws for which they wish.

From silvery clouds out-flickering.
Hints purity beyond the wont
OF politicians dickering;
But, back of this, are thingumbobs
Who hold. or seek, the York State
jobs.

In words that speak of highest aims
And show no shameful suffering;
But, far more forcefrl. further back,
Are Aldridge, Payn, Odell and Black.

DON'T KILL THE SQUIRRELS

Written for tins CITIZEN and dedicated to

Don't kill the sQirrels.
The playful squirrels.
That skip from tree to tree:
For life to them, is just as dear
AS life TO you and me.
Don't Kill the squirrels,
The friendly squirrels,
That play about your feet.
Should you be hungry, boys please
got
Some other thing to eat.
The wise industrious little squirrels,
That seem so full of glee,
Plan out their work, and strive to
live;
And labor hard as We.
Throughout the pleasant summer
days
They seem to be at play.
But toll both hard and patiently
To store their food away.
So boys pray do not kill the squirrels,
That rove among the trees;
Our forests here would oft seem drear
II IL were not for these.

WALL STREET FOR TAFT
The rumor mentioned last week that
the Wall street crowd had decided
that Taft was going to win anyhow,
and that the best thing for them was
to get on the band wagon as soon as
possible, has been strengthened, and
there seems to be no doubt that IL is
true. If IL is, it means the last Of.
any big fight against the big man,
and settles who is to be the next
president. Wall street could not beat
Taft probably. for it has nothing
but money against the will of the
people, but with the money and the
people on the same side, there isn't
any other.

M 0NEY TALKS
Some Ways in Which the Man
With Money is Better off
Than the Man Who
Has None.

The man who has some property is
usually a better man than the man
who has nothing. The man who has
a little ahead in the world is anx-
ious to have the laws enforced, be-
cause when the laws are enforced his
property is safer.
The man who has property is more
likely to be good citizen himself, be-
cause if he does any wrong. he runs
the risk of losing some Of his pro-
perty. The man who has nothing
can get into meanness without fear
of losing anything.
The man with property has a bet
ter chance than the man with moth
ing. He does not have to work unless
the return from his labor is worth
the sweat and backache The man
with nothing must either work or
starve.
The man with property is likely
to be progressive. He can nave
better stock, better barns, better
farm machinery. He can buy better
seeds. He can live in a better
house. If he gets sick he can hire
better doctor and pay for just the
medicine he needs, and he has a bet
ter chance % get well.
The man with money is better
off in every way. One of the great
est helps any one can have in the
struggle to accumulate property is
an account with a strong. progress
sive bank.
