EVIDENCE OF BUSINESS
 TO BE SEEN ON COMMERCE

Signs of cold weather business are to be seen in all parts of town now, especially in the wholesale district. :. Goods are coming in in large quanti- ties and many of the big commercial firms are taking on extra men as ship ping and receiving clerks. besides ad- ding little to the inside office force. Wagons loaded with goods are con- tinuaIIy going to and coming from the stores and piles of goods en route to points in the State are seen on the sidewalks.
 The railway freight stations report a general increase in freight handled. mostly. though. of the bale goods va- riety, packages. goods boxes. cases Of things. etc.
 As yet, the big trafac. cotton, ium- Der, and cattle has not started for the season. but these will come on shortly. September's first week will see cars of cotton coming in and lumber is be- ginning to sit up and take notice.
 Soliciting Freight and Passenger Agent Robinson of the Atlanta ofice of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Road. was in the city a day or so ago. passing through to Atlanta on his way from tho Gulf country, where he had gone to take look at the lumber condition there and solicit business for his road. He says the conditions are favorable. that there is good sup ply of timber and of a good variety. and also reports the crops he saw as in very good condition.

VIRGINIA MINES PROFIT
 BY ALABAMA'S STRIKE

Because of the strike in Rirmingh am several Virginia mining corporations are picking up extra money. Unable to supply in Alabama the local de- mand. the Louisville and Nashville and the Coast Line have been obliged to buy their coal through the Chesapeake and Ohio system. Not all of 1t do they buy but enough to make the Vir- ginia concerns rub their hands to- gether.
 The hauling of the coal had 10 pc one of the most roundabout trips ever made. The Chesapeake and Ohio peo- pie bring it from Western Virginia all across the State to Richmond. where 1t was picked up by the A. c. L., then it was taken on down to the Southern district supply points.
 The local coal heaps are full enough to last now for some months and it is believed the supply will hold until the strike is over.

ROUND HOUSE COAST LINE Report That Such is on Tap. FALL RUSH IS ANTICIPATED Every Locomotive Is Being Over
 hauled for Rush.  Panic Interfered with Plans of Carry Ing Coast Line Resrs Hoa-e to compietion But It Is
 h sight.

All that prevented the Atlantic Coast Line Railway Company rom constructing large round house here a year ago was the panic Now that the panic is giimmertng away on tne horizon to a twilight zone. only m the minds of the timid. the road is discussing plans for the construction of the much needed repair building.
 At present the fan shaped tracks are down and have been in use for some time, as well as a turn table but over the tracks natures clouds form q shade.
 It will not be possible for the road to start building at once. The fall business season Is about to start and the employees have their hands full handling the work with the limited force left by the panic. but later in the year or possibly early in 1903 the round house will be built.
 Another Improvement at the plant contemplated, Is new turn table. The one now in use can handle the work here, but 1t Is thought before long Montgomery may become one of the roads important shop points and when this is tho case wholesale renovation will be started, accompanied by the dawn of several new buildings.
 Preparatory to the fall rush, the road is overhauling every locomotive in the yard, getting every bit of roll ing stock ready for work and work ing about two hundred men.
 One old engine in the yard that was at one time thought only fit for the scrap heap has been overhauied and made ready for a short run on one oi the spurs of the lower reaches of the system. Tn looking up the record of the machine 1t was found that 1t was one of the first locomotives of the now obsolete Plant System. absorbed some years ago by the 4 c. L. The old locomotive is a wood burner with wheels that make 1t look very much like a roller skate, but 1t can still do It's thirty miles an hour and will go back into commission by thA end of the week.
 In the repair roonls there are siz locomotives that have literally been pulled to pieces. For all the world they look like pictures of the Christo. bal Colon or the viscaya stranded on the Cuban shore. but the men work ing on them say that in q week they will be ready for work. big. black and capable.
