1.-THE employees Of the factories. shops
and mines have suffered most from the
depression from which we are now
emerging. The cost of living has been
high and employment even at reduced
wages not so readily obtained. Our
mills and factories. however, are fast
resuming operations on full time. and
we shalt shortly be face to face with
the old problem of shortage Of la
Dor, which means higher wages and
steady employment.
'srhe only weak spot in the situation
today is that there may be a too rapid
expansion of credit, and 1t must be
remembered that no legislation has
been passed at Washington since the
panic of 1907 that would give effectuai
relief should condition arise similar
to the one that wrought SO much havoc
in that memorable year"

Birmingham, Dec. 25.-fSpeciaL1---
The conditions in banking circles. or
rather among the men OF finances in
and aroud Birmingham. are reflected
in the reports of the Birmingham
banks clearing house association.
Week after week an increase is be-
ing shown In the clearings. while for
the past three months large increases
have been shown in the monthly COM
PARSONS.
The action or the First National
Bank in adding quite a large sum to
its surplus few days ago and de-
ffaring large dividend shows great
stability.
Other banks in Birmingham and In
the district give out reports that
would indicate that there is at pres
emit the best of conditions and the feel
ing IL rampant that the future has In
store stiil better things for all con-
cerned.
The banks are receiving reports
from the merchants. both wholesale
and retail, indicating that their trade
is excellent and that the future pros
poets are bright.

in the best shape and In Birmingham

cheering prospect confronts Anniston-
ians, 1t seems. judging the new year in
the light of present conditions. and this
view has been expressed by men who
are intimately associated with local

All OF the Admission banks have en-

NJ. B. Wellborn. President of the

from New York that he anticipates
stil better business during the ensu-

Mr.. Wellborn sees encouragement In
the alacrity with which Calhoun COun-

creased prices which they are able to
command for their products. But An
niston is primarily an industrial city.
and 1t Is upon the general Industrial
awakening that Mr.. Wellbor bases his
optimism. for this has helped the rail-
road business, increased the demand
for rolling stock cars and equipment,
and thereby wrought resumption of
activity at Anniston's, largest plant.

100000 monthly when operating at

mir. KeIth's Opinion.
James Keith, Vice-President and act
Ing executive at the City National
Bank, endorses the sentiments of Mr..
Wellborn in regard to Anniston's pros
.Sects.
Speaking OF general conditions, he
said:
The year now closing has been quite
satisfactory as marking rapid recovery
from the effects OF the panic of 1907
throughout the length and breadth OF
our country, and the situation present
ed today. in my opinion, is financially
sound. Consequently look to the
year 1910 as giving promise OF greater
and more widely distributed prosperity.
The chief reason leading me TO TINS
conclusion is the almost universal pros
perity of our agricultural population
The farmers Of the North and the West
have marketed their corn, wheat, cattle.
and hogs at unusually good prices. In
this section, while our main crop cot
ton has fallen far below what was ex-
pected as to yield, the price received
for 1t has made up in large measure.

on as forecasting much larger things
in the future.
Reports from over the State show
that there has been a much smaller
production of cotton in 1909 than In
1908, and generally speaking, the yield
of corn and other food crops has been
much smaller than what ought to be
a normal crop. The advance in the
price of cotton. however. came early
enough to be OF practical benefit to
the cotton growers. and ought in
large measure, to compensate for the
reduced yield of the staple. 1t is pos
sibie that the effects of the boil Wee
vii will be felt in some Of the ives
tern counties next year. and probably
by 1912 or 1918 the pest will be gen.
eral over the State. Our farmers
should prepare to meet the situation
by planting early Iarieties of cotton
and by devoting as much attention as
possible to corn. alfalfa and other
food crops.
