Aualanche Of Shoppers SUePt
 Stores in Great Fury Saturday

and the clerks in its employ Will nave to work just as other clerks nave 70 work during Christmas, until all the
 nail has been sent from Montgomery
 The express companies have begun their rush and wagons loaded witn ex- press were lined up to the curb m IIont Of the package room before 10 oeioek Saturday morning Christmas Is the bugbear of the express company em- ploye and every one of them will have to work far overtime until some time after the new year begins. The ship ping room of the office Is stacked high
 with boxes for girls and boys at col-
 lese and with packages for, North. South, East and West bearing Christ mas greetings to thousands of people.
 Altogether from indications it Is safe
 to state that Christmas is here and the
 spirit of the time Is rampant. The
 shoppers show 1t, the clerks show it.
 the pop-popping of occasional fire
 crackers in the streets prociaims it.,
 and the wagon loads of holly and mis-
 tletoa and wreaths prove it beyond a doubt. In the night time the small boy staggering under the weight of barrels for the annual bonfire is the last and surest indication that the time is here and the belated shopper had beat ''shell out" while yet there is time. for if it keeps up all the week by Christmas eve there will be nothing in the stores to, buy and Santa Claus will be repudiated by the juvenile con- tinKent of the shoppers household. , It was announced yesterday that all the banks of Montgomery will be closed Friday and Saturday this week. They desire that this notice shall be given the public in order that disap- pointmenta may be avoided.
 The Montgomery Clearing House has notified the banks of Mobile and Bir-
 fningham of their intention to close on these two days and has asked similar
 action on their part. It is understood that the Mobile banks have agreed to close Friday and Saturday and the lo- cal clearing house expects the BiF-
 npinEham institutions to fall in line. Christmas day will be the occasion of closing down about everything in
 the shape Of commercial or industrial activity All necessities must be ob-
 talned for that day beforehand.
 The Capitol will be deserted. It Is doubtful if the big doors In the front facade will swing open on that day. The State government will still exist but 1t will be so insignificant com
 pared with the reign of Santa Claus
 that you cannot even hear tho rever-
 berations of the machine stamping the
 seals on notary appointmsntA
 The city hall will be closed. The city ofnetals want day off as we'll as
 anybody else. You can ride a street | car or catch a train but it pretty near
 ly limits your ability to spen5 money
 on that day.

FAIR PRICE
 FOR CONNECTS MontgonleryCo County Pris-
 oners Leased. GO TO HENDERsoN-BoYD co. Southeast Alabama Concern Pays
 $ll for Able Bodies. Women and ChiIdren only Bring sC.So. Proposition of sISoyooo Bond Is-
 sue ts Ise Pushed By

Upon consideration of two bids for the hire of Montgomery eounty's com victs for 1909, the Beard of Revenue Saturday morning allotted the contract to the Henderson Boyd Lumber Com pany. The concern whose bid was ac- cepted Is one of the most extensively operated Iumbers firms in the State. operating about the southern part or the State. with headauarters at Rich burg, to which the convicts wih pc sent, and about which worked.
 The Henderson Boyd lumber COm- pany offered, for the hire. of the con victs, s14 per month for the able bodied men, and $5.50 for the women and children, with the proviso that ali mon whose terms are less than ninety days win be cIassed with the s6.50 per month conyicts.
 The sole competitors of the Tender son. Boyd Company was Mcqueen, smith and Henderson, planters of Montgomery county. who conduct ag- rictuIraI exploitation on 8 high scale. The planters offered $i2,s0 for the men, and $5.50 for women and chill dren.
 The bids were opened before the Board of Revenue at It's meeting Sat- urday. and although thought to be ex- cessively low, were not rejected. as was the case with the urSL S6L OI Dlus. The price of $14 for the men is some what of an increase over tho contract for 1908, but barely half the price cf- 1ered by the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company for the 1907 convicts. It IS considered, however, that Montgomery county fares better than the majority of the counties of the State as re- gards the price obtainedv
 Little of importance was transacted at the session, the audience of the Board being exceedingly light Where the chamber is packed to its small capacity with contractors and road builders usually. there were a bare half dozen Saturday. But the Board is not letting contracts with the gen erosity of the old body. and there is little for which the road workers have to plead. And there is the stringeney of the county finances which precludes any new work being floated, fer there is really not enough cash on hand to -cover the contracts outstanding.
 Some Light Ahead.
 But with all the old cry of poverty and depleted treasury, there are bet ter times for Montgomery county well in sight. Taxes have accrued froal various sources, much of which money, besides having defrayed the running expenses in salaries, has been placed to the credit of the road and bridge fund at the county depository. and thui 2 wiped out the greater part of the ESQ., 600 overdraft which stared the new Board menacingly in the face as the
