MONDAY AT POLYTECHNIC

Montgomery, May 29.-(Speoial. .)-Deputy Insurance Commissioner A. c. Sexton will go to Birmingham June IT to IS, to at tend the meeting of the Alabama Fire Underwriters association, and will make an address on the importance of the rela- tion of the department to the agents and the insuring public. Major Sexton says that great good must surely come from these gatherings and he hopes to see them encouraged in every way President E. S. Moore of Birmingham has assured Major Sexton that the organization will be proud to have him talk on any day he can arrange for it.
 Incident to this question Is the fact that the. receipts of the department Of insurance continue to climb up For the month of May, just closing, the income was; Company licenses, $101; fire agents, 262.50 life agents $325.50; miscellaneous licenses, $220. 0.5O; tax from unauthorized companies $1S.15; total. 1922 65 For the same month last year the total was $5S1, ,05, an increase this year of $341. 60.

 Not Case On Docket.
 The statement that the railroad commits sion of the state and the rail lines dwell together in peace and unity is borne out by the fact that for the second time this year there Is not a case docketed for hearing. While the June meeting is over week off, being on June T. the time is past for filing causes, guaranteeing that there will be no case to be taken up The only thing pending is the application of the people of Wetumpka to have the Montgomery accommodation on the Louis ville and Nashville run from that place to Montgomery direct. and directly back not stopping for transfer at Elmore This is on the way to settlement without any trouble.
