To the Editor of The e-Herald;
 Dear Sir-I see in the afternoon papers telegrams from the Mercantile Trust company of St. Louis, N. w. Harris & Co. of New York and N. w. Halsey x % of New York referring to my card m the papers a few days ago in Whlch | charged that the Newman interests had interfered with our financial arrange ments and in which mentioned the names of the bankers referred to above.
 Answering the Mercantile Trust com many hand you herewith statement from l. H. Morris, senior member of the bank ing house of Morris Bros, Philadelphia. .It may be that the Mercantile Trus' com pany could not locate this item of busi- ress by the name of Underwater as the company desiring the loan was the "Bir- mingham and Gulf Railway and Naviga- tlon company" which company, as the public knows, is owned and controlled by the Tidewater Development company, aud hence referred to by us as the rTide- water proposition.'
 STATEMENT OF J. H. MORRIS. .'oTo the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 ''Sir-I have been shown the telegram from MT. F. J. Wade. president Mercan- tile Trust company of St. Louis, and beg 10 advise that my house (Morris Brothers of Philadelphia) had interested bond house in St Louis in the bonds of the Tidewater company and they were ne gotiating with the Mercantile Trust com 1any and also another trust company in St Louis for loan for the purpose of constructing the Birmingham division of the Tidewater line.

presiding elder may sleep in a palace and tomorrow night fin a hut. He may preach today to the ignorant and to- Irorrow to the wise people," He said lie was going to send preachers out into tire state where many of them might not near the whistle of train until they start for conference next ear. They ttre not compelled to go but they will all go because they are 'impelled.' ''G want to tell you, broth ers," he continued, "tnat I am sending yon out among the finest laymen in the world, and I want to say to you people that I am sending you the best preachers ia the world"
 He said preachers ought not to be asked to help get up collections to build churches or pay church debts. That is the obligation of the laymen and they ought not to poster the preachers about such things. Address ing himself to any preacher who might complain of his assignment, the bishop said: "Tsll< about your hard fields to go to-th eres no place I am sending you as hard as Calvary and He went there for you. No pathway you may tread is as hard as that He trod for yoa. I am not going to send you 70 any place where Jesus himself will not go with you. Not man in this conferen Is going to be sent to any place that. if he dies and is buried be- hind the log meeting house, he canhot hear Gabriel when he calls for you. .''

1 Admission. December 6.-(SpeciaI J. T. 4. Eidwell and Jake Snider, who admitted tllat they were perjurers and Joe Logan, who confessed to conspir- acy against the United States govern ment at the last session of the United States court in Anniston, returned to the city from their homes in Chero- kee county Tuesday and went direct to tho county jail, where they will spend Christmas of their own voli- ton in cells in the federal department of that bastile.
 On pleading guilty before Judge w. I. Grubb they besought him that they be allowed to choose their time of service. He granted their request and they selected the month of December as the time for the beginning of their SGday term in jail for their ohense against the law.
 The jailer was jollied about turkey and cranberry sauce for Christmas dinner wlicn they first came to the city. Then then secured permission to
 take in" the town before beginning their solitary confin ement and after tley had done this they returned to the jail again, true to their promise. All of them have families and, despite their affected levity it was apparent that they keen felt the prospect of being absent from their loved ones at the time Of peace on earth and good will toward men.

J. II. Morris Says Dewberry Is Correct

come in personal contact with the off, cers of either one of the trust companies, having my dealings with the bond house eferred to above.
 According 10 information given me the statements in MT. Dewberry's card referring to this matter are absolutely correct Yours very truly,
 U. H. NORRIS
 Referring to the telegram of N. w. Harris x Co.. they perhaps do not recog nize the word "Tidewater' as applied to the proposition which they have so per- sstently and successfully interfered with in the New York market, and I am sur prised that Mir. N w. Halsey would have wired Mr Mcguire as he did, using the name of N. W. Harris &, Co., had he not heard from the said N. W. Harris & Co. on that subject. I am also surprised that N. W. Halsey & Co. did not ''serl- eusly'' consider the question of our bonds, for it was my information both from MT. F. z. Mcguire, No. 10 Wall street, N. Y,, and from J. G. White & Co.,, engineers and contractors of New York, that MT. Halsey's firm was really "seriously' and favorably considering the matter I re- gret to learn, therefore, that my infor- nation on this subject was erroneous.
 The public is not so much interested as to whose statements are technically ac- curate in reference to these matters as it is in the well-known and notorious fact of the active opposition of the Br- mingham Railway, Light and Power com pany to not only the Underwater enter prise," but to any and all other enter prises looking to the breaking of their monopoly. Yours very truly,
 "s" J. M. DEWBERRY.

MOBILE DOCK CASE HOTLY
 ARGUED BEFORE GOVERNOR

president of the Mobile and Ohio rail- road, who was at the hearing, is that his railroad is not discriminating against the Turner docks, but that it is only operat- ing on business basis. The vice presi- dent stated at today's meeting that Mobiles port commerce had largely been built up by the efforts of the Mobile and Ohio railroad and that in inducing many of the steamship lines to enter Mobile the railroad had to promise preferential berths at their wharves for the vessels. The vice president states that tramp yes sels are welcomed to the wharf when it is physically possible on the part of the mana cement to spare the room.
 !. Present at today's hearing were Albert F. Bush, president of the chamber of commerce of Mobile, and Vice President Cunningham. who appeared to argue with MT Turner for state intervention Those wno were present in behalf of the joint railroads were, in addition to Colonel Russell R. " Taylor, general manager: S R. Prince, assistant general counsel; Frank Yerger, counsel; J. s. Taylor joint freight agent of the Southern and of tn, Mobile and Ohio railroad, and George S.

U. S. Expert on Good Roads

Roads are physically the only per manent things about any county and the citizens of every county must needs pay for good roads or for bad oncs.' declared D. H.

 As for geod roads in their relation to trade he cited the case of Tusca- loosa and Fayette counties. Tuscaloosa has good roads. Fayette has not and as a result farmers are travelling from

BUSINESS BOOM
 STRIKES YORK

York, December 6-(Special.)-The sub- stantial business people of York are feel ing more enthused than ever now that the actual track-laying on the A., T. es N. railroad is almost in sight of this town. York already has the Alabama Great Southern railway and the Southern rail- way, giving it connection northeast and southwest and to the east, and while both of these lines are considered valu- able to the town many think that the coming of the A., T. & N. from the north- west will mean more to the community than anything that has yet happened. As consequence. things are booming around York. Chief Engineer Toxey states that he expects the rails to reach here almost in time to be Christmas presents for the town--anyway, by January 1.
 It is almost positive that an oil mill and compress will be erected here to take care of the new business that the A., T. & N. will furnish from the rich territory being developed by it. It is also currently ru- mored that bank of large capital will be organized, and the best part of the rumor is that John T. Cochrane, president of the new railroad. and who has organ ized several good banks along his line, will be asked to head the York bank, and
  as people here have unbounded confidence In anything that he lends his aid to.
 MT. Cochrane on recent trip to York stated That considering the rich terri tory around this place and the fact that it. will be the crossing point for three railroads, all leading in different direc. tions. 1 can see no reason why York will not be big town, provided it's people cooperate with each other and the rail- roads entering here. So far as am con- cerned, l am going to do my full part for this town provided receive the co-opera- ton and support of it's citizens, all of whom seem to be good men, and am sure realize the coming of the new rail- road will unite them in a determined ef- fort to make of York the distributing and jobbing center that 1t ought to be-
 The people here appreciate the wisdom of this expression by MT. Cochrane, and they are wide awake to their opportunity, so keep your eye on York"
