STATE OWES S18,O0O
NEWSPAPERS WOULD LIKE TO
 HAVE THEIR MONEY.


 Proclamation of the Governor,
 and no Arrangements Were
 Made to Pay for the Same. 1t was learned at the State capital Tuesday that the State of Alabama owed to the various papers within the State for the publication of the proc lamation of the Governor something like $1s,000. and that the Legislature had made no arrangements to pay the same
 The amount was considered impor- tant by reason of the fact that that John c. Lawrence, president of the Alabama Press Association had sent a letter to Governor Conner. requesting that he make the payment of the bills owed to the various reports, a part of the call of the extra session of the Legislature so much talked of at the present time.
 The 18,000 was incurred by the State in the publishing in one paper of ev- cry county of the State, Governor Corners proclamations concerning the proposed constitutional amendments. the bill from each paper being some- thing like $26o.

Merchants to Operate
 Fast Steamboat Line

risd out, that all boats will have equal rights at the wharf and 70 friction will bs avoided.
 The close proximity of the ware houses of the merchants to the river entirely eliminates dependence on the railroads for freight handling and the slogan of the wholesalers of the city to-day is: Montgomery. Seaport Town"
 Interest in River
 Never in the history of the city since the times before the advent of the railroads, has the capital of Ala bama shown such a Tremendous i'm tsrest in the Alabama river, say the wh olesale men From the political representatives of the State in Wash ington to the engineer of the local corner peanut stand. men with the welfare of Montgomery at heart, are busy with the plan. The merchants see In 1t their chance for a growth oi business that under previous existing conditions was impossible.
 The merchants maintain that with conservative competition among the various boat companies the freight rate situation will be reduced to con- ditions like those that have made Montgomery's other sister cities what they stand for in the commercial world of to-day They say Montgom. 9ry Is a logical distributing point and would have been indeed a queen city Of the South. but for the leech like sucking of the railroads and the ad- verse position the roads have taken to the city's best interest.
 Plans for the new boat company have often been mentioned, but never before has the contemplated movemen, taken definite shape. Tentative ar ransements have already been made Tor the forming of the company. The merchants have practically decided to have four fast steamers and one or possibly two ea-golng boats that will work the Atlantic and Gulf coasts from Maine to Texas.
 The proposition also before the Con- grets of the United States for an Inland water way from Maine to Tex as. back of the sea islands along the coast, If carried out. as 1t has been stated, will connect the Alabama river with the Appalachicola and so from a belt of .tade that. will be new to both territories. Already the inland waterway Improvements have been made along the coasts of the Carolinas and side wheel steamers are plying between Georgia and North Carolina ports. When the connection is made
 
 sippi the merchants look for a new regime In business all the way around
 Committees of the city's leading business men have waited on the rail- roads, have appeared before the Inter- state Commerce Commission, and fin Tact have appealed to every authority, but the freight rates of the railroads have remained practically unchanged. A few minor differences have been made, but where one class of freight has been helped another has been hindered and the work has gone for nothing.
 The advent of the Williamson corn method Is expected to develop, this in- dustry.
 Active work for the development of the boat lines will be commenced al a called meeting to be held In. the next few weeks and when 1t is started the score of live wires who are back Ing the enterprise say they will see 1t through.
