Hanson named as a member Of the small board which controls the affairs of the home. He is probably the youngest man who ever held the position. The results of his membership of the board have been most gratifying to those who proposed and prompted It.
 Mr. Hanson has been prominent in both the social and the business circles of Montgomery As a business man in the Capital City he has been es- teemed a man of energy, confidence and ability. He has been prominent socially, having been charter mem Der of the Country Club of that city, and a member of long standing in the Beauvoir Club, one of the oldest and best known clubs of the South.

A GROWING TRADE

One of the lines or business in which Montgomery is rapidly forging to the front, unawares to the average person. is the horse and mule trade. This trade is very important one, and brings quite lot of money into the town.
 Montgomery owes its growing irn- portance in this line to widely known, energetic and successful Abraham Brothers Company, whose large new stables are located on the corner of North Perry and Jefferson Streets. Notwithstanding the so-called dull year." their business has been pushed and extended until their selling opera tions now covef practically every Southern State. Their buyers follow the source. of supply into every part of the United States, and being highly experienced and competent men, the animals they buy never fall to find quick sale.
 The buying public will always find in the stables of Abraham Bros. fine assortment of available mules and horses. adv.

IMPORTANT WITNESSES.
Senate Committee to Resume Inquiry E of Steel Merger.

Senate Committee to Resume Inquiry of Steel Merger.
 Washington. Jan S0.-When the com mittee investigation the absorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iiron Company resumed it's inquiry Tuesday 1t is ex- pected a number of important witnesses will be examined.
 Among these may be Judge E. H. Gary and Henry c. Prick, the repre- sentative of the steel Corporation who laid the question of merging the two concerns before President Roosevelt and Lewis Cass Isedyard, who Is said to have oringinated the merger idea in order to take Tennessee Coal and Iron stock out of a number of loans which were being pressed for payment by New York banking institutions which held them.
 According ito, testimony of Geofge w. Perkins, Of the firm of J. P Nor gan and Cot given to the Scofnmittee late yesterday and made public today Mir. L.adyard appears to have been the first to suggest that Steel corporations take over the TennesSee concern.
 Mfr. L.ayard is described as the lawyer of the partnership which was In difhculty over loans 1t had secured on Tennessee Coal and Iron stock Thus far in the hearing before the special committee on judiciary, thts partnership remains nameless hut Il Is understood members of the commltte are confident they know the concern and will be able to subpoena It's mem. bers.
 At the late afternoon session of the judiciary committee yesterday. MT. Per- kins was pressed very hard for an explanation of the value of exchanging United States Steel Corporation bonds for Tennessee Coal and Iron Stock when both were quoted at about the same price on the market. He was asked to tell the difference between the two securities and how the mere substitution of one security for an other relieved the situation. He said
 There was a very great difference No one dared press any security on the market at that time that there was any question about being able tC sell. We were in panic and the worst panic that any city or country has ever known. It was not a question whether anything was intrinsically worth something or not. It was what you could do with 1t what-peopIe believed They did not believe in that security Tennessee Coal and Iron stock) and they did believe in the Steel bonds. Whether this belief wal well founded or whether 1t was mol had nothing at all to do with peoples minds at that moment"

RUSH TO PAY
 POLL TAXES Two Hundred Receipts Issued Saturday. LAST CHANGE Is MONDAY So Far 1860 Payments Have Been
 Receiptei. Tax Collector. Halls state. That There Remains a.eoo More ssontgomery
 County sfen to Call
 Upon Him.

1 For the first time during the season there was a rush of poli-tax payments fin the office of the Tax Collector of
 the county when yesterday 200 citizens hurried to grasp the opportunity
 availed by the two days remaining in
 which to pay the tax.
 Altogether, at the close of business Saturday, about 1.2e0 payments had been registered, and receipts Issued. Tomorrow, Monday, is the last chance. The last chance will be af- forded to more than 1000 Rontgom- cry County men who are liable to poll tax, and. yet who are delinquent in the paying. The doors of the office will be opened until 8 o'clock in the even ing Tax Collector Halls and Deputy Collector Teasley will be waiting with their smile of welcome, with their re- ,ceipt book opened, and with their pens wet-ready to write your receipts upon the payment of s1.50.
 And then you can vote. Then, If you are not outlawed by a former mis- demeanor or term in prison---which, of course. you are not-you are citizen. bona-fide citizen of the United States, the State of Alabama, the County of Montgomery and the Capital City. Yes. all that.
 Don't you think It's worth 1t? To be entitled to every protection of law and court, and to receive this protec- ton without compunction of conscience, isn't it worth $1.50?
 And don't forget that the Court House Is situated on Washington Avenue, corner of Lawrence Street. It's just across the street from the county jail, but you needn't shiver at the sight of the prison, for if you perform every other duty of your citi- zenship as unerringly as you do the payment of your poll-tax--that is, in case you pay it--then the jail should have no fears for you.
 You will walk up the steps to the imposing building. enter the broad doorway, turn to your right. and then turn again up the corridor. There. four doors up the long hall again to- your right, you will pause. Don't stop to knock, for they. are expecting you inside Expecting you. and with a hearty welcome for your coming.

THE NEW PARK MANAGER.
Mr.. Samuel ]. Byrne Admirably
Fitted to Garry on the Work.

The proprietors of Palisades Amuse
ment Park are to be congratulated on
securing the services of Mr. Samuel
J. Byrne, the new manager, who was
placed in charge shortly after the
regrettable death of the originator
and moving spirit of the undertaking,
Mr.. A. Fl. Dexter.
By training journalist and adver-
tising expert, Mr.. Byrne, some twen
ty-five years ago, began to be prom
inently identified with fairs, exposi-
tions and amusement enterprises.
moth undertakings as the New Eng
land Manufacturers and Mechanics
Institute, Sportsmen's Shows and the
Olympian Clubs enterprises in this
country and in Europe, succeeding
Barnum & Bailey as lessee of the
Olympia, in London, the largest
amusement structure in Great Britain,
outclassing in area the famous Crystal
Palace. Mr.. Byrne was the last
lessee of the now historic Lenox Ly-
ceum at Madison avenue and Fifty
ninth street, and enjoys the unique
distinction of being the only manager
who ever made financial success in
that place of amusement He has been
a lifelong friend of Mr.. Dexter and
his family and was formerly asso-
ciated with him in some of his en-
terprises.
Mr.. Byrne is an indefatigable work
er and an enthusiast in all that he un-
dertakes. He is, withal, an unassum-
ing, genial gentleman, and has already
made many warm friends during his
brief stay at Palisade. We are glad
to extend to him the right hand of
fellowship and to cordially wish him
and the Palisades Amusement Park
an unbounded measure of success.

A SUCCESSFUL MAN.
VIM. P. Richards, of Leonia, Who
Has Done Well at Building.

When Palisade was young, one OF
the young men employed at building
houses under Mr.. Grassman was Will
liam P. Richards, formerly of SYRIA
cuse. He settled at Leonia, where he
soon began building on his own ac
count In the last two years he has
erected a great many nice dwellings
there, on which he was able to save
the purchasers sum equal to $1,000,
because he builds his own houses and
is his own contractor. His success
has been unusual.

An Instrument Made in Fort Lee
Equal to ANY.

Not every Palisadian knows that a

excited many pleasing comments.
