You paid as you entered and took
your seat, while your coin ratified down
in a box; leaving no chance to cheat.
Newark had it's initial introduction to
~up-to-date pay-as-you-enter cars to-
day. In order that no hitch should oc-
cur, Public Service officials were on the
job bright and early. Some never went
to bed, not being used to early rising.
so fearful were they that something
might happen. But everything was as
lovely as the proverbial June bride,
for the public took to them like a duck
ling to water. Only the Broad street
line is equipped at present with the
new type of car. fifty being in service.
Superintendent of Transportation
Newton w. Bolen was on the first car
that left the Broad street barns at 4:45
a. IN. 1t wasn't a particularly bright
day for an opening, even of a new de-
partment in a railroad. and Mr.. Bolcn
shivered as he boarded the a and
dropped a pass into the box. He would
have separated himself from a nickel,
so II was afterward reported, but Di-
vision Superintendent W. B. Graham,
who is always to the fore, beat out his
superior in a rush for the ash box,
n deposited a coin. Under orders
from the executive offices, the cashiers
department, with General Auditor Boy
Ian as an expert. will decide whether
the nickel is "phony."
There was no difficulty experienced
in handling passengers, even at the
-Four Corners, the average being one a
second in entering the cars. Depar-
ture by the front doors was made as
rapidly.
Superintendent Bolen, Auditor Boy.
Ian, Assistant Secretary Stevenson and
other officials were at the corners for
several hours, observing conditions,
and expressed themselves as pleased.
New York was also Interested in the
innovation, as superintendent of
Transportation John Delaney and As
sistant General Manager Palmer, of
the New York City Railway, were also
at the -Four Corners to compare the
time consumed In loading and unload
ing q car with that on their lines.
Both gave the Public Service officials
credit.
Even the new rules which prohibit
smoking and the occupancy of h rear
platforms were observed without a
grumble by the male passengers today.

REPORT Is ISSUED
ANNUAL STATEMENT OF AUDITOR BRANDON vOLUMIN0Us AFFAIR.
Report Contains o19 Pages, Which shew Every Item of States Re- ceipfs and Disbursements
 for Year Ioo9-19O7.

| The annual report of State Auditor w. w.. Brandon for the fiscal year ending September 90, 1907, was yester- day turned off the press of the State printing contractors for the first time complete and makes the most volum- inous report that has ever been issued by this department
 The report contains efs pages Tn more elaborate detail than any pre- vfous year In the history of the state, the report contains all items of re- ceipts and disbursements for the en- tire year beginning October l. 1906. and ending September 30. 1907.
 As an instance of the tedious detail with which Chief Clerk Brooks Smith and the other, clerks of the State Au- ditor's offlce have prepared the annual statement there are printed the names of all the pensioners in the state os alabama. These numbered 15.475. They are classified in groups, accord ing to classes 1. 2, and {. The names are given separate under the head of each County.
 The balance in the State treasury as shown by this report. was on October l. 1907. $1.794.57S.09. This compares rather evenly with the cash balance in .ne, states strong box on the same date the year previous. when the amount was $i.s14.45s.s7. On account or the great Influx of tax moneys from the various counties. by studying the schedule of fixed receipts and dis. pursements, 1t is easy to account for the present approximate amount of cash in the tI.sasury of s2,o00, 900, in spite of the heavy expenditures incur red by large appropriations of the last Legislature.
 Praetically all the money in the treasury during the last few months mas been carried with the State dspos- itaries In accordance with the act of tne last Legislature transferring the money to designated banks. Previous. ly the balance of the treasurv was carried In the vaults of the office at the Capitol.

 From what is regarded as a reliable source, 1t was learned today .nal M Southern Railway Is contemplating put tfnr back into operation trains NOS. 2i and 2a from Birmingham to MO bile. ..
 The.e trains were annuiied and dis continued about six weeks ago when the retrenchment policy of the road was first started.
 The report Is to the effect that tnese two trains will be put back into oper- afion about the first of the coming month. A conference of some of the officials of the road is stated to have been held in Birmingham during me early part of the week, and the matter discussed at the conference was that pf putting back these through night trains from Mobile to Birmingham.
 Since train Nos. 21 and 22 were dis continued between Mobile and Birmang. nam, they have been operated as local trains between Thomasville and Mo- pile. When operated as through trains between Birmingham and Mobile, they are said to have been two of the best paying trains on the Mobile division Of inc Southern. Since they have been operated from Thomasvilie to Mobile, 1t Is said that they have not paid the expense of operation and this has been taken Into cohsluefatiOh D1 eho
 of the system.
 The two trains. proved sources or great convenience to tue peeople along the line of the Southern Railway All the way from Birmingham to Mobile, and the order which was issued few weeks ago discontinuing them was learned with great regret.
 The installing of the two trains again by the Southern, if the report heard there today proves true. will be learned with great satisfaction by the sit.zens along the line as well as the lraveiing public.
