ADVERTISING SUCCESSFUL

AOVER SUCCESSFUL
Former Vice President Fair
banks, in the course Of an ad-
dress before the Advertising
Clubs Of America, at Omaha last
week said:
docs advertising pay? has
been the theme Of numerous and
labcred utteranees and there are,
no doubt, remote and obscure
corners Of the country where It
is still a vital, living question;
but, as rule, it has become aca-
demic, and many Of the success
es we witness In the market
place have been achieved by the
fullest recognition in practice Of
the affirmative Of the proposition.
The best advertiser and the best
merchant are synonymous, and
the poorest advertiser Is usually
the one who finds himself in a
court Of bankruptcy. OF course,
all advertisers do not succeed,
but ! think It will be generally
admitted that there are fewer
failures among them than among
those who do not possess the
faculty Of bringing their business
fairly and favorabIy before The
public"
Mr.. Fairbanks also condemned
estravauance in public and priv
ate affairs.

MOVE TRAINS ay PHONE.

Il 4 q 1. 1
On last Wednesday the Illinois Cen.
tral began the practice,r in this di-
vision Of the road, Of handling its
train service by means of the tele-
phone instead of telegraph The plan
has been in force on other divisions
for some time and has worked sue
cessfully. The train dispatcher work
will be carried on as usual except
that It will be done by phone in
stead of by means of the telegraph.
The latter will not be used at all ex-
cept when the telephone lines might
be out Of commission for some reason
Or other. 1t is expected that the plan
OF handling the trains by telephone,
Of which the company has its own
system, will be both easier and bet
ter than the old way of doing 1t.

BIG DIVIDEND
 IN COTTON MILL

Eufaula, January 14-tSpecial) )-After just one years operation under the new management the Cowikee cotton mills of this city on yesterday declared diyi- dend of $lS,777. It will be remembered that the plant was purchased by B. B. Conner and was soon afterward equipped with almost an entire new and more modern set of machinery. The mill in many other respects was also badly run down and considerable expense had to be incurred to put 1t In shape to com- pete with other plans and find a mar ket for It's products. By skillful manipu- lation no time was lost and It's products have always found ready sale In almost every market of the north and south. This splendid achievement has given re- newed hope to the industry in this city and every citizen is deeply gratifed at the splendid showing.
 The affairs of the Barbour cotton mills of this city which were closed down here about ten days ago were yesterday placed in the hands of receivers, Messrs. Robert Moulthrop, F. W. Jennings and J. T. White being named. It is thought that the trouble grew out of some mis- understanding among the stockholders and which 1t is believed can be anicably adjusted. The plant is valued at $60- oo0 with liabilities amounting to s250oo. Of this tho Bank of Eufaula holds a mortgage of $1o.cD which is indorsed by

HIGH SCHOOL STATISTICS. Professor Doster Makes Report of Secondary Institutions of Learning.

University. January 14-(Epecia1)- )-- James J. Doster, professor of secondary education in the university. who spends studying the educational conditions in the secondary schools of the state has recently compiled some very interesting statistics concerning tho high schools of Alabama. His figures show that the state now has 90 high schools in the teaching forces of which are represented 70 of the colleges of the country. The total number of teachers in these schools is 345, with only 106 who do not hold degrees from institutions of normal or higher grade. Of the latter number b5 did not attend any college. while the remainder attended for not more than two years. One hundred and ninety-four hold college degrees and 55 arc normal school graduates.
 The colleges from which these teachers were graduated are scattered throughout the breadth of the country, though about half of the number received their tui- tion in Alabama. The University of Ala bama leads in numbers with 29, and 1t is followed by Auburn. with 28. Florence Normal with 1T, Troy Normal with IA, Southern university with IS, University of Nashville with 1o Judson college with nine. Howard college with eight. Tuske- geo Female college with five and Alabama Central Female college and the Universi- ty of Tennessee with four each
 Professor Doster finds great deal of satisfaction in the showing made by these figures, and he feels that the progress of the states secondary educational in- stitutions Is assured. Think he says, "of the great scope of ideals and the experience in practice from all these in- stitutions brought to the Alabama high schools, some of which are new and all of which must be inspired by these streams from many good sourceA"

Bradstreet,s Weekly Review.

New York, January 14.-Bradstreet's tomorrow will say:
 Reports as to trade and transporta- ton reflect variations of weather ir- regularities. affecting sales and move ment of farm products and coal sup plies and of spring goods to various markets. Retail trade in winter goods has been helped by cold, stormy wealth CT and the usual January prices re- vision A very fair volume of reorders is reported by Jobbers. while the volume of orders for spring reaching wholesale houses from travellers Is fairly good.
 MTransportatoin' lines, particularly in the north and west, have been ham pered by stormy weather and the movement of crops has been inter- ferred with. Something approaching a coal famine still exists at many west ern points, Building operations have naturally been retarded by stormy weathe CT, and there is promise of some damage on western rivers from ice gorges.
 Indoor industries seem to be active ly employed. notably iron and steel ariss sh oe manufacturing. Best reports as to new business in iron and steel come from the west. while eastern markets pointment at the volume of buying of rails by eastern roads. Collections have been interfered with by interruption to crop movement and are rather irregu- lar. especially from country districts.
 The question of high costs is being considered by many manufacturers who are finding higher prices for raw ma- terials and requests for advances in wages.

THE MASQuERADERs
 TO PRESENT PLAY.

The clever body of amateur actors who dubbed themselves last winter the Mas queraders, and presented His Exoe1lency the Governor" with great credit to them selves before a large audience at the Jefferson theatre, met this week and de- cided upon plans for another play to be given before Lent. The date is February and one night performance only will be presented. The play is ''The Title Mart" drama of Winston Churchilrs. "The Masqueraders" are a coterie of young society people who give their en- tertainments for their own amusement, but very generously donate the proceeds i to some worthy charity. Last year the
 Public Library was the beneficiary. A decision has not been reached as to who 1 will reap the benefits this year. Rehearsals will be begun at once on "The Title Mart.'' and 1t is expected that this will be an artistic and finished performance such as was the last. The scenery will be very elaborate Miss De- rothy Orr, who is to be stage manager, will be assisted in creating 1t by Miss , Mary Kirkpatrick, who is another of the talented young Birmingham artists. The , cast of characters Is almost complete
 
 ful as stage manager last season, will star as Edith Blackwell. an American heiress. The leading man will be Mr. Ar thur Mohun, who was the very excellent
 butler of His Excellency, the Gover- nor" last year. His role will be the Marquis of Tredway.
 MT. Will Warren will assume the com edy role of Reginald Barking, M. F." | and Hiram Peters," the American coun- tryman. storekeeper and sherir, will be played by MT. George Clark. This will be the first time for a number of years that MT. Clark has consented to appear in amateur theatricals. though he Is regard ed as most talented. The Masqueraders are delighted that he has allowed him. , self to be persuaded to join them His part and that of Mir. J. ". Ager, who fs to present Ezra Swazey,'' will be probably the most picturesque in the cast. and will give much local color to the perform ance, the scene of which is laid in the Adirondaclxs.
 Miss Marjorie weatherly will have a character part, decided change from any taken by her before. She will be Lady Marjorie Ticknor, the granddaupbo ter of duchess.
 Mir Blackwell an American millionaire will be the role assumed by MT. Jelks Cabaniss who quite distinguished hir- self last season in the role of a tynical Briton.

The club is never more attractive than on the bleak days of winter, when the great fire of logs brightens the big comfortable living room and shows pleasing contrast to the gloom outside. This was most in- formal hospitality but made one very happy by the charm of the hostess. There were about s5 guests On the bon-bon table enchantress carnations were ef- fectively used. and pink and white hints were also daintily suggestive of the pretty color scheme. A tempting luncheon fol- lowed the games. Among the guests whom Mrs. Porter asked to meet the two love- ly visitors were Mrs. Webb Crawford, Mrs. Brokaw, Mrs. Modie Cunningham, Mrs. Carl Seals.
