ed by B. A Thompson and finally by Henry B. Gray who sold out yester- day
 The bank has been for only few days occupying the new home prepared by Mir Gray in the First National Bank building. The banking room was finished at a cost of about sS5,00O in Talladega marble and was admitted to be among the most elegant banking in stiutions in the city. The interior was designed by W. c. Weston, a prominent architect of this city.
 The first intimation about the sale to the American Trust was known to those well informed yesterday by the opening of the banks for business. The financial people all knew of the nego- tlations which were confirmed later by innumerable conferences of the two of ficials concerned-Mr. Crawford and Governor Gray.
 meeting of the directors of the American Trust and Savings bank was at which the sale was thoroughly threshed out and the directors agreed to the purchase.
 Took Charge Last Night
 The organization of the American Trust entered the Peoples bank at a late hour last night and assumed charge
 
 up deposits footed and all the book keeping details of the absorbed insti- tuition were thoroughly looked into.
 w. T. Latham, assistant cashier of the Peoples; Henry Chisholm, assistant cashier; ". T. Lyman, cashier, and other officials of the Peoples bank as- sisted the purchasers in every way to get correct figures on the new bank.
 The American Trust and Savings bank has made phenomenally progress sive moves in banking circles lately. It has ordered the construction of a skyscraper on the site owned by the bank at the corner of First avenue and Twentieth street Plans have been ap- proved for that structure, which will be among the handsomest banking of- flee buildings in the country.
 The bank sold few weeks later to an insurance company the old Berney Bank building on First avenue for S50,000. This building will be occu- pied by the American Trust temporarily beginning about June 1.
 The latest step is the requirement of Governor Gray's bank, one of the best known institutions in Birmingham
 The bank sale details were threshed out between Mir. Gray and President Crawford in the offices of Nat l.. Mill Ter, attorney for the deal, last night.

THE SOUTH AND
WoMAN's SUFFRAGE,

Here are two statements made re-
Gently in public addresses by distin-
guished speakers:
The first, by Governor Mann OF Vir-
ginia in welcoming the delegates to
the convention OF the Atlantic Deeper
Waterways Association at Richmond:
Il predict that within ten years wom-
en- will vote in Virginia. Evolution OF
the democratic form of government
leads irresistibly to this logical re.
suit"
The second, by DR.. Anna Howard
Shaw, president of the National Wom-
ans Suffrage Association, in an inter
view just before the meeting of the
association at Louisville, Ky: South
ern women are more ready for the bal
lot than those of any other section of
the country. They have in fact, taken
to suffrage wonderfully. Georgia,
Louisiana and Virginia have made as
tonishing records
While We can not agree with DR..
Shaw that woman's suffrage has any
immediate chance of success in the
South, we can not deny that the senti.
ment has made a Roadway here that,
considering the sections innate con-
servatism, is truly amazing.
1t IS, however, only part of the
growth of the sentiment ALE over the
nation. The movement shows no signs
of retrogression. It's path is marked
with victory after victory.
The two statements quoted should
furnish the people Of the South with
food for much earnest thought 1t Is
true that we abandon any old custom
with great reluctance, but the issue
OF woman's suffrage is destined to be
upon us at no distant date.
Just now we would do we'll to dis
card altogether any lingering attitude
of levity and ridicule we may have
toward it, and be prepared to acquaint
ourselves with the conditions and
causes that have given it momentum,
and be ready to decide it as it should
be decided-on its merits alone.-At-
lanta Georgian.

Dug-DrilIed Wells Dangerous

Almost any community in which
wells have been drilled can boast OF
a number of combination dug and
drilled wells. The owners congratulate
them selves on their wisdom in utiliz-
ing an old dug well fifteen. twenty or
thirty feet in depth, and drilling
through the bottom of this to a good
flow of deep water. The cost of drill
ing that twenty or thirty feet has
been saved, certainly an economy
worth considering. AS a matter Of
fact, this combined dug and drilled
we'll is a particularly dangerous type.
1t may readily breed malarial fever
or even typhoid fever, which is more
prevalent in the country than even in
the overcrowded cities, in spite of the
supposed pure water supply of nearly
all farming sections. Such well is
all the more dangerous because it is
fancied to be safe Although the water
encountered by the deep well may be
perfectly pure at the start, contamina-
ton may take place almost immediate
" by the entrance, especially after
rains. of seepage water into the open
well and thence into the casing of the
drilled we'll. The remedies are OBJ
vious. Either the casing should be car
ried to the surface of the outside
ground, or at least above the highest
level ever reached by the water, or
the open well should be converted into
water-tight system by applying a
thick coating of cement over both
sides and bottom.-United States Geo.
logical Survey.

wan.ed-Two Good Murderers.

Some curious letters passed between
Garrick and a man named Stone. The
latter was employed to get recruits for
the low parts of the drama, and one
night he wrote to Garrick. Sir, the
bishop of Winchester is getting drunk
at the Bear and swears he will moi
play tonight"
At first sight this seems peculiar con
duct for bishop. but 1t should be ex-
planned that the communication only
refers to the man engaged TO take that
character in the play of Henry VIII
On another occasion Garrick wrote
to Stone IF you can get me two good
murderers will pay you handsomely
particularly the spouting fellow who
keeps the apple stall on Tower hill
The cut In his face il Just the thing
Pick me up an alderman or Two fO'
Richard If you can. and have no oh
lection TO treat with you for cOmell

HARvARp.PRINcEToN GAME.

Princeton, n. j., Nov. 3,-This quiet
little village is teeming with excite
ment. for tomorrow the local grid
iron is to be the scene of the first
football game that Harvard and
Princeton universities have played in
fifteen years. The town is gaily at
tired. and the streets are thronged
with the early birds" The pennant
peddlers are already here with their
"winning colors" of either university,
Practically all the tickets for the
game are sold and record-breaking
crowd is assured,
While sentiment in favor OF the
local university runs strong, the bet
ting odds indicate that the Harvard
team will go into the fray a slight
fayorite. The Crimson has made an
excellent showing from the start OF
the season, and it is generally con-
coded that the Orange and Black Will
have the hardest kind of a fight to
gain the victory.

FIRE WIPES 0UT
 BOARDING HOUSE

The Bailey boarding house in Du- bacher canyon, a. one-st0ry house with segen rooms. was almost wholly destroyed by fire yesterday morning about one o'clock. The fire is thought to have originated from the fire in the kitchen stove. By the time the fire department had ar rived, the blaze had gained a good headway. and they were able 10 save only the shell Of the. building, the furniture of all seven rooms being total loss.
 As the fire originated in the kitchen, the sleeping occupants Of the house were aroused in time, and though the fire spread with great rapidity once it had started. all of the mem bers of the household got out in safety.
 At 931j o'clock yesterday morning. an alarm was turned in from the residence of George w. Vandewalker, in Neon canyon The fire started from the kitchen, due to a defective chimney. and burned a hole in the roof Of the kitchen. The damage vas small
