RESERVE FEATURE
 OF POSTAL BANKS

N Nashinslon. February S-The reserve feature of the postal savings bank bill received especial attention when that measure was taken up by the Senate to- day. Deprecating any tendency toward reserve fund, MT Bristow said the amendment suggested by Senator Page, providing for such fund would result in the accumulation of from s4O,000, 900 to s7ojOo.00o, which he did not consider a wholesome oondition.f
 Mr. Gallinger contended for an ample provision for a reserve as necessary to protect poor depositors. He warned against a repetition of the experiences connected with the Freedman's bank ex- pertinent.
 The eighth section, regulating deposits, was the object of attack by Senator Bur ton. His objection was based on the fact that it commits the government to an ex- per.ment in banking which he could never inGorse. Hc did not believe in scattering the money in the ten thousand banks all over the country. Inevitably the bank de- posits would seek their centers in the large cities and this law of finance and Of trade should be recognized in the bill He thought there should be a reserve fund
 inc amendment was still under consid- erat.on when the Senate adjourned.

TsiIapoosa to the Front

''Tallapoosa county is rapidly coming to the front said Thomas L. Bulger of Dadeville, who was in Birmingham yes- terday.
 "The people are just now very much in terested in the building of good roads and better schools. The farmers of the coun- ty are in better fix financially than ever before, and are taking deep interest in the general improvement of their condi- tion They want better roads, better schools and better everything that goes to the making of comfortable home life and higher citizenship.
 ''The county commissioners, aided by the people of the county, are making some valuable experiments in the building of roads at Dadeville and Alexander City.
 Money and material are now in hand for the completion of the county high school building at Dadevlle, and the trustees hope to have the building ready for the commencement exercises this coming summer.
 'The school which is now being con- ducted in the city public school building, is in fourlshing condition"

Our Five Hundred Club

Even before A. II. Ford is installed as president of the Chamber of Commerce committees are hard at work to fill up the subscriptions to the 500 club, and all may be sure MT. Ford will push this im- portant matter until success is achieved.
 When Birmingham has $5OO,OOO to loan to infant industries. in. addition to it's other advantages, there will be small difficulty in locating here wilderness of varied plants. This city can no longer afford to depend upon iron and steel, which are princes or beggars by turn. We want varied industries, many of which would not be affected by panic, and the way to get them is to take stock In the 800 club
 "Thls club" says W. P. G. Harding, Twill tender it's loans on real estate se- curities, at one-third value. with terms of from one to three years, compared to the banks 90 days. It gives just the sort of help the small manufacturer needs, and generally speaking. it is a safe propo- sition. Even if the factory does not sue eeed, the loan is such a small part of the Value of the property, the club can get the money out by organizing another company. The expenses of maintaining the company would be nominal. The of ficers and directors would give their time out of civic pride, while the attorneys fees and cost of looking up the titles would be borne by the borrower In my opinion the stock would pay at least 1 or per cent on the investment and should prove attractive even to those who do not take interest on the other bene- fits
 That is the entire story, and no busi- ness man in this city can afford to refuse 10 take stock in the 800 club. It is the shortest. most practical and efficient way to double the citys population.

Birmingham'S New Directory

The first directory of the greater city has been published, and is ready for dis tribution. It is in fact the city's first census, and as such it is very satisfac- tory.
 As a rule directory censuses are not wholly trustworthy, but a directory that presents the names of 961 Smiths. 757 Will flames, 729 Joneses and 573 Browns points to a considerable total population An At lanta directory is not at hand, else a com parison of the families named with our own would be made.
 The total number of names listed in the new directory is 59O0o. No children are listed, comparatively few women and not all of the men in the greater city. The Age-Herald, has no wild desire to make an estimate of the total population in April based on a February directory. It however comments that directory to its esteemed colleagues in Nashville and At lanta, asking them to chew and inwardly digest it even if it goes against the

MARDI GRAS ENDS
 IN NEW ORLEANS

New Orleans February S.-With the Mardi Gras balls and pageants of Comus and Rex, the carnival season was brought to a close in New Orleans tonight. In conformity with an old established GUS tom the identity of Rex, the merry mon- arch, whf in mask has reigned over the city for two days, was revealed tonight. He was Hunter C. Leake, general agent of the Illinois Central railroad. The queen was Miss Amelia Baldwin.
 Ii was estimated that 50,0Jo visitors, among whom northern tourists were al- most in a majority, witnessed the merry making among the maskers on the street today. Of the several thousand maskers. who impersonated every character from George Washington to Jesse James, the most popular roles were those of "Pugilist Jack Johnson and "Dr. Cook
 Three Jack Johnsons were arrested during the day for disordery conduct, and an impersonator of exPresident Roosevelt was given a free ride in the patrol wagon when he engaged in fight with "Ex- President Zelaya.'' ''Zelaya" escaped.
 The parade tonight of the Mystic Krewe of Comus was one of the most elaborate in the history of this old carnival or ganization. 'Mohammed'' was the subject of the pageant, the traditions associated with the prophet being illustrated in a score or more of gorgeous floats.
 The estimated cost of this pageant and ball alone was S100000.

Prices In Wall Street

Although the money market remains undisturbed al low and easy rates. al- though general trade is good aud all in dustries are pushed to the utmost in the filling of orders; although the outlook of the winter wheat crop Is promising, yet prices of securities in Wall street have de- clined and are declining heavily.
 This decline is no doubt of Washing ion origin, and it is difficult to say whether Wall street fears the supreme court or Congress more. Between the two the magnates and spectators are sorely distressed. The chances are that the dread of two drastic decisions uphold ing the Sherman law in the tobacco and standard Oil cases disturbs the operators in wall street more than anything Con eress or the administration can or will attempt.

Virelnia Wine and Beer

The Anti-Saloon leagues bill, now be- fore the Virginia legislature, asks for referendum in order that the people may vote on the question of statewide prohi- bition; but there is feature in the bill allowing wine to be made and sold In Virginia in packages of not less than two gallons This Is doubtless a concession to Albemarle county. which is now famed for it's excellent claret
 If the bill is amended so as to except apple brandy, which is a large commer- cial product of Virginia and the big brew cries of Richmond and Norfolk which turn out refreshing beer, statewide pro- hibiton might stand little better chance of winning in the Old Dominion. Drastic measures have always crippled the tenn perance cause.

REPUBLIC OF PANAMA
 WANTS NEW RAILROAD

Panama, February S.-Samuel Lewis, secretary of foreign relations, will leave here tomorrow on a special mis-, sion to Washington from President Obaldia. It Is said that the secretary has been empowered to close impor- tant negotiations with the American government which have been pending for several months with particular reference to the construction of a rail- road from Panama to David, near the Costa Rican frontier. This is the Panama trunk of the proposed Pan American railroad through Central America to meet the Mexican extension of the Southern Pacific
 President Obaldia has received sev- era1 proposals from English, French and German syndicates. but he has ex- pressed the belief that Americans should be given the preference. How ever, unless satisfactory arrangements can be made before the present dry season ends, it is not improbable that the English syndicate will secure the contract, as public opinion is urging the construction of the road, which will open for development comparative rich lands.

Weather Here and Elsewhere

The effort of the weather bureau at Washington to extend the northeastern cold wave to the southeast. even to Florida. mscarried. No extreme weather has been or will be felt in the southeast this week. and the impertinence of the Washington weather clerk was properly rebuked. or at least thwarted.
 The truth is, the southeast has had all the wintry weather it desires. It is not hankering for any more, and the prob abilities are that the weather bureau will not be able during the remainder of this winter to switch it's cold waves down this way.
 The northeast has perhaps never known a colder winter than this has been, nor has any of it's cold waves equalled the one that has just passed beyond it's maxi mum. At Utica, N. Y, the mercury reg istered % degrees below zero, and in the hard coal districts of Pennsylvania it stood 10 degrees below. In New York city the temperature lowered near the zero mark, and a piercing icy blast added to the discomforts of the situation
 Altogether it was record cold wave, and the southeast is to be congratulated upon the failure of the Washington weather clerk to turn it down this way. The weather clerk does not seem to un- derstand the southeast or it's possibilities and desires.

spicuous shares is made plain in the fol- lowing table based on Mondays market:

Speculatirg capitalists in Wall street are not really scared by what the supreme court or Congress may do, for they know that neither can eonfscate any ones prop erty or stock holdings. They are in ducing others, however, to sell, it is be- leved, because they desire to load up with securities at low prices.
 Be this as it may prices in Wall street will rebound when Congress and the su- pteme court adjourn, especially if the crop outlook becomes favorable. While money remains plentiful and easy the country in general will not concern itself over Wall street prices, or Wall street fears of decisions in the tobacco and Standard Oil cases.

Mr. Taft's Federal Incorporation Bill

Judge Gary, chairman of the United States Steel corporation, sees nothing ob- iectionable in a federal incorporation law, anG he says that if the law be practicable the Steel corporation will accept it and W ork under it.
 The bill as it stands does not relate to railroads, but is intended for industrial corporations doing an interstate business. If the Steel corporation accepts it it is very. plain it will be found to fit many other industrial concerns
 The bill will, however, encounter oppo- sition from one source or another and it's massage at all is problematical The dem- ocrsts will regret it's tendencies to cen trali7ation and every representative of The Interests will find something in the bill to complain of.
 The bill does not propose to relieve any corporation from the anti-monopoly, anti restraint t-o.-trade terms of the Sherman law. If it did it could, not poll the vote of any one who desires reelection next November The country seems to be standing firmly by the sherman law. And no doubt the supreme court will continue to uphold that law broadly and firmly.
