His Name Was William

Tammany was founded by William
Mooney. an lrishman by descent. an
American by birth, an upholsterer by
trade. and an organizer. and doubtless
an agitator, by instinct! Had Mooney
been born In our day he probably
would have belonged to more secret
societies than there are days In the
week. and would have been active In
all OF them. No adequate pen portrait
or the founder of Tammany has been
handed down to us. but we have n

of Old Administration.

SAN FRANCISCO, GAL, Jan. o =
The last remnants Of the Schmitz la
Dor administration, under which this
community lived for six years. were
cleaned out of the city government
today. No vestige of Schmitz or Reuf
influence remains in the municipal ad-
ministration which began today. for
even the two officers elected on the

Schmitz standard that flew from the

Things Look Good In
Alabama.

Montgomery, Ala, November z.
There are many evidences of a
revival of business even this soon
after the election. A man of affairs,
head of a leading banking instltu'
ton, says that he has been able to
see for several days the trend up
ward of the situation, and there
other things to make the conclu-
sion reasonable that things are al
ready getting better. While cot
ton has not begun to move yet,
there has been a better show for 1T,
and cotton seed has jumped from
$I4 to almost $15 a ton in less than
a week ago.
Cotton seed has been moving at a
lively gait all the fall, farmers
selling off the seed to get money to
help pay debts, and in that way
aiding themselves to hold the cot
ton itself for higher prices. All of
the mills have been busy, and it
Hooks now as if it is going to be
a hard matter to supply the de-
mands, even at the increased rate.
ISeveral weeks ago the mill men
began a campaign to encourage the
people to use more of the cotton
oil products, and it is leaned that
lit has been so well carried out that
demands for the products have in
Icreased.
