ACTION WILL HAVE
NO LOCAL EFFECT
UTHORITATlVELY STATED YES
TERDAY THAT THE SEABOARD
is NOT INDEBTED TO ANY BIR-
MINGHAM BANK.

Other than what has been contained
in The Age Herald, local officials of the
Seaboard have received no information
relative to the action in passing into
the hands of receivers. They were,
when seen yesterday, ignorant as to
what action would be taken as to the
future policy of the road.
1t was learned authoritatively yes
terday that the Seaboard is not in
debted to any bank in Birmingham.
Neither is it indebted to any merchant.
In fact, it is hardly considered in bust
ness circles that the condition of the
road has any local significance.
1t is expected that the receivers will
visit Birmingham in the course OF time,
but, of course, no date for their COM
ing has been fixed. 1t was learned yes
terday that the condition of the Biz
mingham section of the road is good.
AS is known, the Seaboard has ac-
cepted the rulings of the legislature as
to freight and passenger rates and is
at peace with the auth critics. The road
has not, unlike the Southern, asked for
discontinuance of any passenger SER
vice.
The following facts were furnish ed
yesterday:
The total mileage of the Seaboard is
2905, including trackage rights of %
miles.
The road runs from Washington on
the north, to Palmetto. Fla, a few
miles below Tampa, on the south. On
the west, it extends to Birmingham.
From Savannah. Ca, 1t has direct
line to Montgomery. Birmingham and
Atlanta are in direct connection with
Washington by this line.
Points of Importance on the Sea-
board are Washington. Rich mond, Nor
folk, Wilmington, Charlotte, Atlanta,
Savannah, Birmingham, Montgomery,
Jacksonville and Tampa.

New York January 2.-The placing of
the Seaboard Air Line system in the
hands of receivers today follows 4 state
ment of the company earnings, showing
So. 49,. 1886 on hand with which to meet
fixed charges of $S,175,434 a deficit OF
S42 59S.
1t has been known for several days that
some steps would be necessary to pro-
tect the property, in view of its inability
to meet its fixed charges. and the re-
ceivers were agreed upon at confer
ence held in Washington yesterday, al
which there were present representatives
of both the majority and minority stock
holders.
Judge Lacombe in the federal court to-
day appointed S. Davies Warfield and R
Lancaster Williams receivers for the Sea-
board Air Line railroad in the southern
district of New York.

PRODUCTION OF
GOLD AND SILVER
GOLD HAS FALLEN DURING THE
PAST YEAR BY NEARLY $5,000,-
600, WHILE SILVER is ON THE
INCREASE.

Washington January 2.-The produc-
ton of gold in the United States fell off
81, 1853, 4O1 in 1907, as against 1906, whereas
the amount of silver produced was in
creased by over 100000 fine ounces.
Alaska's gold production fell off a little
more than 100000 according to the pre-
liminary report of the director of the
mint issued today. The total value OF
the 1907 gold output was $S9,620,SSs.
Colorado is shown to have led all of
the states in 1907 in the production of
gold as it did in 1906, the amount, how
ever, was reduced from nearly 100000 in
1906 to a little less than $21, 0,000 in 1907.
Montana leads the list in the production
of silver, with r. lis, 900 fine ounces, with
Colorado and Utah only few thousand
ounces behind.
The following table shows the value of
the production of the gold and silver
states for the year 1907:

Interests of Receivers.

Baltimore, January Pr. Lancaster
Williams and S. Davies Warfield who
were appointed receivers of the Seaboard
Air Line railroad at Richmond today, are
bankers of this city, Mr. Williams being
a member of the banking house of Nit
tendorf, Williams & Co., and Mr.. War
field president of the Continental Trust
company. Mr.. Warfield who Is direct
or of the Seaboard, was chosen to repre-
sent the majority interests in the prop
erty, while Mr.. Williams will look after
the affairs of considerable minority,
led by his brother, John Shelton VIII
liams of Richmond.
The effect of the receivership for the
Seaboard Air Line will have a far-reach-
ing effect in Baltimore, where the securi-
ties of the company are more largely
dealt in and held than in any other trad
ing center, not even excepting New York
The bond issues placed on the property

tenn aggregate s33, 1856 900. of which amount
it is estimated nearly $25000,O00 is held
here. Baltimore bankers declare that
there is no necessity for nervousness of
bondholders over the receivership. If
they will take the announcement coolly.
and await Developments. it will be more
to their ultimate advantage, than to rush
into the market now to sell.
Persons close on the inside of the prop
erty are outspoken in the opinion that
the security holders, both stocks and
bonds. will benefit. These say no hold
ers of any of the underlying bonds need
feel the least alarm over the safety OF
the security, nor have any fear of default
at any time in the interest.
One of the assets of the Seaboard is
the Baltimore Steam Packet company,
better known as the Old Bay line. The
operations of this line, it is said, will not
be affected by the receivership.
An effort is being made by local bond
holders independent of the Williams in
terest to secure representation on the
receivership and they are urging Gustave

TEXT BOOK ARRANGED.
1t VIII Be Ready for Issue About
October

Lincoln. Neb. Aug 12-After a con-
ference of several hours which con-
GUIDED at an early hour today William
J. Bryan. John w. Kern, vice presi-
Dental candidate. National Chairman
Mack, together with the campaign text
book committee, adopted final plans for
the make up of the campaign text
book. Other matters regarding the di-
rection of the coming presidential
struggle were discussed today between
Mr.. Bryan and Chairman Mack, who
was guest at Fairview last night.
Announcement was made today that
the text book would be composed of
the platform, Mr.. Bryan's letter and
speech of acceptance. with speeches on
the tariff and trusts which will be
made shortly by Mr.. Bryan and ex-
tracts and comments on the planks in
the platform from various sources. 1t
is planned to have the. text book pub
lished by the first of next month.
Josephus Daniels. head of the literary
bureau. Of the national committee and
member of the text book committee
said today:
1.-The platform is the party's char
ter, and points favorable to each of
the various planks will be developed
succinctly and clearly in the text book.
The book will not be laden with weari-
some figures and tables but each plank
will be Illuminated with favorable COM
ments not only from the Democratic
press and from Democratic statesmen,
but from Republican sources as well.
Mr.. Bryan feels that the committee
has devised an available plan for
bringing out the issues clearly and i'm
pressively so that the campaign speak
ers will not only be well fortified with
the subject matter of their speeches,
but will convey the spirit of the planks
with force to their auditors
Members of the text book commits
sion met today and apportioned the
work of assembling the contents of the
campaign book. Mr.. Daniels and John
E. Lamb. chairman of the text book
commission Will leave for the east to-
night.

Appointed by the Commercial
Club Directors Monday
GET TO WORK TODAY.
Big Demand for Space From
Pure Food Makers.
Important That Subscriptions
Be Paid at Once.

The Committee of Seven" ap-
pointed on Monday by the directors OF
the Commercial club to have Inn
mediate charge of the disbursements
of the money subscribed for the state
fair and entertainment funds met this
morning at the rooms of the Com
mercial club to get matters under way.
j. w. Robinson was elected secretary
of the committee.
Upon motion of M. A. Low the
chairman and secretary of the COM
mittee were authorized to draw
vouchers upon the treasurer of the
Commercial club for expen0o.
lures approved and authorised
by the committee.
r. T. Krfepe, secretary Of the State
Fair association, was present at the
meeting. 1t has developed that there
has been a big demand for space in
building for exhibits Of pure food.
The prospects for a display along
these lines are excellent.
Inasmuch as the interest in this
subject is very great growing out OF
the recent pure food laws passed by
congress and the activity of the state
board of health towards securing pure
and unadulterated food. the COMMITTEES
is anxious to carry out the original
plan of putting up one permanent
building to cost about $2.500 and to
be devoted to pure food exhibits. As
the exhibitors will pay for space in
this building part of the money can
be forthcoming from this source.
Today the matter turns on the col
lection of the subscriptions. Out Of
over $1,000 subscribed for the state
fair and entertainment funds only a
little more than one-half has thus far
been paid in cash. II the subscrip-
tions are paid up promptly within a
few days the committee will have
available for it's use sufficient funds to
put up this pure food building.
1t is thus very important that those
who have subscribed send checks for
the full amounts to A. B. Poole, secre-
| tary of the Commercialclub.t to be de-
posted in the state fair and entertain
| ment funds If the building is to be
erected in time for this seasons fair,
as it should be. the plans must be
| adopted within few days and con-
struction commenced.

| stituted as follows A. NJ. Patten.
