Coach Harri. Given Watch Charm

Albertville, December 17.-(Special. In double presentation today In which neither of the parties knew of the intentions of the other, Coach Har- ris of the Albertville football team was presented with a watch charm by the team, and the players were presented with watch fobs by the coach The charm given Coach Harris was a beau tful thing with the Knight Templars' emblem engraved upon it. He gave a watch fob to each of the players of the team of the Seventh District Agri- cultural school, who had gained the honors of the Athletic association. Upon the fobs presented to the players by the coach was engraved the score of the Albertville- -Blountsville game, 'S-2 Albertville," which was the last. and considered the most notable. game played by the Albertville team. Neither of the parties knew of the others in- tention of making the presentation. and Coach Harris was so affected that he could not speak for some time to thank the boys.

STOCK MARKET
 TAKES 4 REST In Anticipation of Season of
 Renewed Activity DURING COMING YEAR Railroads May Decide to Prepare for the Handling of Country's Crow
 ing Business Even Though
 Rrtsa Are Not Increased
DURING COMING YEAR
Nv W. c. NICHOLAS

New York, December 17.-(Special)- The stock market is taking nice, quiet little rest in anticipation of the season of activity which most people look for after the turn of the new year. There is nothing particularly encouraging in the general situation to induce fresh public buying and there is nothing hap pening to frighten holders into letting ro of what they -have-that is, nothing additional to the previous long cata- slogue of depressing features. The schroniclers of current market events, the commentators on the daily grist of news and the prophets are in most cases giving oark color to the pictures they draw, but there Is nothing really original or startling in what they have to say.
 The burden of the grind is merely ringing the changes on what has been said before many, many times and again. We have all heard until we are tired of the dreary repetition about the policy of non action which is to be pur- sued by the railroads until they learn definitely what the interstate commerce commission Is going to do about freight Kates.

GADSDEN HAS EXTRA
 BIG COTTON CROP
Avenue Bank of New York Files Suit Against Raflroad-Judgc A. V.
 Lee Prepares to Move

Gadsden, December 17.-(Special )--Ac- cording to the local ginners' estimates the total cotton crop of this county for the year will be between 1O.5OO and Il, bales, or about 1500 bales more than the crop or last year. The increased price re- ceived this year over last will give the farmers of the county fully s10O00O more money for the crop. And the apparent prosperity of the farmers fully bears out this claim.
 The Alabama City, Gadsden and At talla Railway company and E. T. SchuI- CT have been made the defendants in a suit to recover upward of s4ooO filed by the Avenue bank of New York. The action is based on subscription made to the fund raised by the citizens to secure the rod, wire and nall mill of the Southern Iron and Steel company, which has never been paid. There are a number of the subscribers to this fund who have never met the obligation. and 1t is probable that suits will be filed against them all with In short time if settlement is no. made.

His friends here are legion and his departure is much regretted by the good people of this city.

 The feeling is growing that railroads are very likely to change front soon. regardless of what the interstate com- merce commission may do on the rate question. It is growing upon the senct' of important interests in control of the railroads and the money bags that permission to raise rates is not vital to the progress of railroading The chief argument used in the promotion of the higher Tate scheme is that the increased revenue which will result therefrom will give the railroads en- larged credit so they can borrow more money. It would not be an unmixed curse upon stockholders of these prop critics if they were, to refrain from plunging heavily into debt. The facili- ties as now existent are sufficient to handle the business of the country in fairly satisfactory way. There is really no urgent need for nick plat Ing the railroads or gold-leafng the cars that carry passengers and freight.
 Railroads have got along for many years with only little sly increasing or freight rates here and there, and 1t is barely possible they can exist awhile longer without being permitted to im- pose heavier tax upon the public. This view seems to be taking more concrete form and to be reflected in an increas- ing disposition to be reconciled to the possible refusal of tho Washington au- thorities to grant the desired freight uplift.
 This theory is undoubtedly taking deeper root in Wall street and it would not be at all surprising to see turn down on this freight rate proposition mark the beginning of wholesale and situation. certainty one way or the other will be recognized as far better than a hope of federal permission to gouge the public s75,000,000 to s100,- 100000 year in order to build up a credit which may lead to extravagance in raAroad expenditures without com pensating increase in income or benefit to the hundreds of thousands of own CTS of the property.
