Middendorf, Williams e. Co., well known
bankers of Baltimore, whose activity in
the south and whose preferences for
southern business are well understood
have recently, in conjunction with GER
tain interests in the Commercial and
Farmers National bank of Baltimore,
brought about a reorganization of the af-
fairs of that institution on a basis which
should make this bank a potent factor
in southern development. c. T. Williams
of Baltimore, representing, Middendorf,
Williams & Co., spent several hours in
Birmingham yesterday To represen-
tative of The Age-Herald he said:
THE reorganization of the Commercial
and Farmers National bank places this
institution in position to do more bus
mess in this section of the country than
it has ever done before. A large amount
of new capital has been supplied and
new strength added to the board by
the entrance of influential interests, whose
chief aim will be to upbuild the business
of the institution along sound and con-
servative lines. We shall certainly do
all in our power to cement the financial
relations between Baltimore and the
south All of the various enterprises in
which we are interested in the south
are succeeding, even beyond our expec-
tations.'

Bright outlook for Fair.

r. It. Kolb, who has charge of the ag-
rieultural department of the state fair
this year, returned yesterday from south
east Alabama, where he has been in the
interest of the fair.
The people over the state are very
enthusiastic this year about the fair and
l expect "a great attendance" said Mr.
Kolb. IN addition to this I believe the
exhibits this year will be far better than
ever before and this itself will bring
many to the city. The fair will be lib
eral in its entertainment. exhibits and in
every feature. So the only remaining
battle is for everyone to get busy and
boom the fair and the city as we'll as
the state to the limit. The farmers in
tend to do their share and everything
looks fine"

Running Themselves with cigarets.

That cigaret smoking in Pullman
laval cries should be stopped and that
the Eyoung men of this country were
simply running their future usefulness
by cigaret smoking, was the declara-
ton of Capt. p. Sid Jones yesterday
after his return from Louisville.
"While I was dressing this morning
on the Pullman car a young man was
in the car smoking a cigaret before
breakfast" said Captain Jones. "Thc
small room was simply clouded with
smoke and 1t was almost unbearable
l was so disguised with 1t that I told
him to take the entire room and
went out. The young men are SO
addicted to smoking that 1 noticed two
or three get up from their bertlis ia
the middle of the night to smoke Gig
ardets. While / do not believe in fore
ing men to do anything they do not
wish to do, at the same time the young
men of our country are simply running
themselves by smoking the internal Gig
arets. / for one believe the Pullman
car habit should be broken up as many
men share the same views that have
expressed against the terrible habit"

PEN-PIcrURE OF HARDY.

A correspondent who is quoted in the
Saturday Book Review of the New York
Times, describes Thomas Hardy in a way
that will appear singularly appropriate
to all who have read the Hardy novels.
It is the kind of pose in which we would
expect to find the man who wrote Tess
of the D'Urbevilles and Far From
the Madding Crowd as well as the hour
of the day best suited to his titanic spirit,
while the sombre environment fits in
with our preconceived ideas of a man
who seems able to read the immutability
of fate In the treraor of a leaf.
Il happened to be strolling out from
Dorchester to Max Gate in the early
twilight of a winter afternoon, and on
nearing the house l saw Hardy himself
standing at his own gate and looking
straight from his tree-embowered garden
out over the gray sweep of down oppo-
site Away to the right the homely
lights of Dorchester were beginning to
CLEAN cozily But above the hill oppo-
site came the night-wrack, rising vast
and mpenetrable over the unpeopled
fields. Chill though the evening was,
there stood Hardy gazing, silent and
absorbed, at the scene for fully quar-
ter of an hour. As ] watched him
seemed to understand better than ever
before the meaning of his life and work.
Has it not just the sgnih ,ance of this
scene-the jovial, social little country
town, with its gossip, it's hustle, and it's
junketings, the solid, fruitful plough
lands with their tale of honest sweat.

the immemorial, immovable hills over
