PREPARE MOTION
 FOR NEW TRIAL Attorneys Will Try to Se- cure New Trial for
 Saulsbery

tiadsden, November (Special)-J. B. Aird of Birmingham and P. E. Culli of this city, attorneys for Joe Saulsbery. who was convicted of murder and sen JeEced to serve for life in the peniten- tiary, stated today that they would pre- rare motion for new trial, and if this was not grantAd by the court an appeal would be taken to the supreme court with the hope of securing a reversal. The motion asking for new trial will prob ably not be made until some time next week.
 seems to be now under way. Jobbing lines report fairly good volume of or de@s, though it is still too early to expect much benefit from recent cold weather. Roads sales show little improvement, and 1t is significant that woolen goods, principally for mems wear are in much teiter request for immediate shipment ana advances are noted in several lines, but in general sense wholesale outside of holiday lines is relatively light.
 Al the same time there are enough cross currents to prevent uniformity Industry remains rather quiet, and the low price of cotton is having a depressing effect on trade and collections in the south. Of course the low price of the crop means cheap supplies for the textile mill 1 Industry, and consequently more activity later, while the size of the yield presents good export trade. Sales of cotton guods for future account are hampered by the belief of consumers that the price situation is unstable.

IMPROVEMENT IN
 GENERAL TRADE The Movement in Dry Goods
 Continue Steady PIG IRON IS WEAK With One Exception Orders for Steel Products Booked in October Is
 Largest in Any Month
 This Year

New York November S.-R. C. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomor- row will say:
 Volume of business is of fair amount and trade continues to exhibit quick ening spirit; in most lines it is still below producing capacity generally consisting of the supplying of immedi- ate necessities.
 The absence of large unsold stocks on the shelves and the presence of supplies of credit so great that this country IS now able to finance the pressing needs of Europe to an extent that has rarely if ever been equalled in the past are elements of basic strength.
 Orders for steel products booked by the leading interests during October are estimated to have been the largest with one exception in any month this year. The transporting companies also are making purchases of needed equipment, contracts for some 10000 cars having been placed in the past week, while about half that number are under nego-
 tiation. 5 In addition part of an order for 25,- | 900 tons of standard rails has been | placed, this bushes being for 1912 de- l livery A fair tonnage of structural material is called for, but plates are inactive Steel bars are quiet and quo- | tations weak There is slightly bet
 ter demand for wire following the lower quotations
 | Pig iron Is weak.
 | The movement of dry goods continues very steady. Exports to the far east are at a standstill owing to the Chinese | complications, but the miscellaneous trade is steady and shipments still show | substantial increase over year ago Woolen and worsted agencies reported
 a steady demand for nearby require
 ments with slow expansion or for ward orders on which the mills are placing more looms at work. l In mems wear novelties have beei | closely cleaned up assortments ant
 there is steadier application on staples
 while the users of goods are placing | orders further ahead and there Is a1 increase in duplicating for spring.
 As prices work lower on cotton yarns business expands, while the call 10 | worsted yarns is well maintained To- nearby use. Foot wear 5oDpers ar holding off until assured that the larg advances asked by manufacturers ar to be maintained and are not disposed to place more than supplementary con tracts for winter goods or sprint goods. Business is not in large volume Hides and skins are fairly active an' firmer. but there is less doing in De lcember. eavoI

TO A SENATOR
 MUST BE A REAL DIPLOMAT
BY WALTER HARPER

1 sents a strong political influence m Ala- l bana. but a man who had had sups.ah 1 tal training in departmental work at | Washington.
 Thomas B. Stalings was appointed 10 q
 place in the Washington navy yaro ps l Secretary Hilary A. Herbert in lS9o. ffoHi l here he was promoted to the navy ue- l rartment and held a clerkshlp here TOT l some tin,e Mr Stallngs is alert ana 1 absorbed a large and valuable 1uhd ol
 ready information not only about the 1 navy department, but most Of the others l in the government He has happy knach 1 for making friends. and soon had l large circle of acquaintances In Wash I ngton.
 1 This acduaintance and familiarity with 1 Inc departments of the government gives | him a peculiar fitness for the work or senatorial secretary. Senator Johnston intrusts some of his most important de- rartmenta1 work to the secretary lie knows the head of almost every depart ment and bureau personally, and when ne is nut onto a job he goes after 1t with
 vigor that wins if there is any chance for winning He never let's up short of an absolute failure and then he will try again just for luck.
 During recesses of Congress MT. Stas- IIngs keeps open office for the senator and never d day passes but that he Is eI gagged in some work for the senator or for some constituent of the senator. Many calls and requests reach the office in the absence of the senator. These matters are attended to if they are in his power without communicating with the senator.
 Important matters. however, are called
 to the attention of the senator by wire or
 otherwise as the case may demand, and then executed by the secretary.
 In the absence of the senator the sec retary is called upon to entertain visitors that may call. If they are constituents
 from Alabama the secretary Is supposed 10 know them and to understand their interests. He must stand in the sen atcrs shoes and exercise all the diplomacy hat the occasion demands.
 While in the navy department Mir. Stall iings took a course in law at Georgetown. After his graduation with honor in the class of 1905 he returned to Alabama, where he was admitted 10 the bar by tie state supreme court At this period his health failed, and he was forced to epend some time in the west When he returned to Alabama he was restored and was appointed secretary by Senator Johnston
 MT Stallinxs is well known in Bir- mingham, and especially in south Ala bsrna. lie was born at Greenvile 3S years ago, and is brother of Jesse Stallings and also of Jack Stallngs. sec retary to the excise board of Birming- ham.

 The man started to swim around the end of one of the piers. The dog fol-
 lowed him. When his master was in deep water, he was attacked by cramps. The dog realized he was In trouble, and grin ping the mans jersey in his teeth as a matter of course, started for shore with him. Then the master lost his head. He thought the dog was trying to drown

 naturally enough, snapped at him. There upon the life guard promptly batted the dog over ths head with an oar Both were saved. The dog refused to leave the man who didn't keep his head. who doubted the faithful animals love. | who thought he was trying to drown l the human being for whom willingly he

Washington, November 3.-(Special)-- The secretary to a senator or congress- man should not only be a passable poll tician, but he must be a diplomat. He Is expected to know as much about the constituents and their needs as the sen aior or congressman. For upon his shoul- defs fall a large amount of the duties that the legislator owes 10 his constitu- ents In personal way.
 The member of the United States Senate or House could never perform all the lit tie acts of official and semi-official duty demanded by his constituents. While lhese duties are and by right should be credited to the congressman, they must

 Therefore the secretary should be ia miliar with the various departments of the government or at least should have that knack of personality or breadth of training that will enable him to familiar ize himself with these things.
