LIBRARY FUND IS
 NOW AVAILABLE Each County Will Receive Fifty Dollars Additional
 for Library

Montgomery, November 3.-tSpecial.)- County superintendents of education throughout the state have been advised by the state department of education that the rural school library fund is now available, and that each county in the state, in addition to receiving the an- nual appropriation of s1O0, will receive in the neighborhood of $50 addition, appor- tioned from the fund left over from last year.
 The last legislature appropriated $s70O annually for the purpose of assisting in the establishment of rural school in dis tricts and in towns of less than 1000 in- habitants. The only condition imposed by the law is that the district applying for the fund must raise sl0, and that an ad- ditional Sl0 must be appropriated by the county board of revenue or court of com missioners, after which s1o will be given by the state. The fund Is designed to as sist 10 rural districts in each county in the state in establishing a library.
 Last year 2l counties in the state did not apply for any portion of the fund. which resulted in an equal distribution of the fund this year among the 67 coun- ties of the state. The fund is now avail able and may be received after the con- ditions of the law have been complied with in reference to securing aid from outside sources.

MARKET ID WATCH GINNING REPORT Balkan War Will Also Be a Factor in Cotton This
 Week

New Orleans, November 3.-The cotton market this week will probably be chiefly concerned with the question of bureau will come out with it's report on the quantity of cotton ginned up to oc- tober 3l and this week there will be sey- eral private forecasts of this report, which may affect the market one way or another
 This ginning report will be the most im- portant thus far this season because the season is now SO far advanced that ginning figures furnish a basis for nte ligent estimate for the total Prospects have been more or less ignored. but the pending figures cannot be passed over without comment Should they show any decided departure from what is gener- ally expected prices will be bound to move strongly one way or another, and any estimates this week of such de- partures will have their effect
 The Balkan situation will attract con siderable attention and may affect prices because the markets of the world gen orally recognize that the critical point in the situation is approaching.
 At the week end nearly all market c,r- culars spoke of the Balkan war as the one very bearish feature of the present time. Any diplomatic news that will tend to encourage belief in an early set tlement of the war will this week be re- garded as highly bullish influence and undoubtedly will cause higher prices.
 The weather will not be regarded as of much importance as it has been for several months past because the growing season is over, picking Is well on to- ward completion and the frosts at the end of last week put an end to uncertainty over temperatures.

WITHDRAWAL OF FUNDS FROM NEW YORK BANKS HURTS MARKET

New York November 3.--Withdrawai Of New York bank funds for interior needs continued last week with detri- mental effect on values of securities. The dull stock market of the past sea son has pointed to less than the usual speculative employment of the bank de- posits left temporarily idle in New York banks, yet the pull of the crop moving requirements serves. to force holdings on the stock market
 Prices tended downward, therefore, in the face of apparently assured prom ise of expanding prosperity.
 November disbursements of profits in the shape of dividends and interest showed expansion of more than s13.- GOO 900 over the same date last year This increased the demands of the money market and ran the call to rate up to per cent. the highest figure since January. 1910.

Railroad net earnings in dicated record returns, in many cases After a brief reaction the movement of grain to markets, both west and east, again expanded to nearly record fig ures Accumulations of grain have been prevented, but are feared at a later stage, when longer tie-up of loans may follow.

1 sources available for such expen- ditures. The country's bank elearings and the extent of the borrowing de- | nand and the requirements of the cir cillation witness the activity of trade This dislocation of the relief antici- l pated by recourse to foreign money markets continuedS to influence the | financial markets, with the rapid course of events in southeastern Europe. The New York markets sensitiveness to | those events testihes to the close bond ia which all the markets are affii- lated.
 The rise in all the discount rates of the Bank of France to 1 per cent after the conclusion of the settlement was an unsettling influence. This rate has not been touched since the panic of 1907 in New York. Incursions con tinue on the London markets gold supply, pointing to possible further rise in the sank of England rate. Ninety day loans in New York, in some cases, have commanded premium for the first time since early in 1908.
 Several events that are awaited help to account for the speculative hesita- tion. The Monday sessions of the su- preme court usually are followed by hardening prices, suggestive of anxiety over expected decisions. The report of the arbitrators on the demands of earnest railroad engineers are looked for soon and great importance attaches to it. The easter tone in copper and steel is not without influence. Sep tember quarter earnings of the United States Steel corporation equalled but did not exceed expectations. The ac- tion of the market following the cleo tion is bject of curiosity, but of no apparent excitement.

New York, November 3.--The cotton goods market turned strong and active last week, and some substantial sales were made at first hands. The print cloth market was very firm and ad vanced one-eighth cent yard on wide cloths. There is steady, but moder- ate, inquiry for goods for export. Heavy goods mills have been liberal sellers, and the leading duck mills are de- clared never before to have encountered so broad and persistent demand for merchandise for forward delivery. Leading southern denim mills are un- considerable tender of later business has been declined. Tickings are frmer, with tendency to higher levels.
 Some few jobbers have covered their requirements till January, but most of the smaller tobbers have lacked con- fi6ence in the market until very re- gently, when cotton began to stir up ward. It Is a seasonably quiet period for jobbers, but they have been re- ceiving more than the average num- Der of requests for prompt shipments, and they are looking forward to a very good spring distribution.
 Fall River sold about 270,000 pieces Of print cloths last week and southern mills also sold very freely Prices rule as follows:

RAGLAND WILL CET THE TRADESSCHOOL Will Be Established in Next Year or Two, Says Sen
 atOr Brown

Montgomery, November 3.-(special)-- strhe Alabama School of Trades and Indus- tries chartered under the laws of the state In 1si1, will probably be established at Ragland, in St. Clair county, within the next year or two, according to a statement made by State Senator Watt T. Brown of Ragland, the chairman Of the board of trustees.
 MT. Brown has had a recent conference with Governor ONeal with reference to securing the appropriation of sSo.o0o which the last legislature gave to the new in stitution. In addition to this appropria- ton the legislature also donated $o1oo Tor four years for maintenance purposes ana offered an additional amount Of szo,VVo as soon as an equal amount was raised from other sources. On account Of the low financial condition of the treasury Governor O'Neal has felt that the state was not able to release this amount or money at the present time, and for that reason has withheld his consent for the payment of the money.
 The Alabama School of Trades and ln- dustries is intended to be one of the great est institutions in the south, having as it's primary object the training of boys in all vocational education or callings or life. Through the efforts of Chairman Brown of the board of trustees the prom ise of several hundreds of tnousands af dollars has been secured for the sup port of the school from various philan- thropic sources as soon as the sehool is established. With this money from outside sources 1t Is proposed to make the institution one of the largest ana most useful in the south.
 Ii is understood that Governor Neal will release the appropriation made to the school by the. legislature before the end of his administration, probably re 1aas,ns one-half early in 1913 to enable the trustees to begin the erection of the a,,ildings. and the other half early in 1914 Assurances have been given, ac- cording to MT. Brown, that large treasury of the school just as soon as inc actual work of establishing the in stitution is begun.

the torpid, 1ukewarm Christian who never takes an interest in the religion of Christ In like manner, a citizen, who earnestly espouses faulty politi- cal principle, is less dangerous to the state than the supine citizen who never takes an interest in the political well fare of his country.
 Tt is my profound conviction that if ever the republic Is doomed to decay. if the future historian shall ever record the decline and fall of the American republic, it's downfall will be due. not to hostile invasion. but to the indiffer- ence, lethargy and political apostasy of her own sons
 And if all citizens are bound to take an interest in public affairs, that duty especially devolves on those who are en- dowed with superior intelligence and education and who ought to be the lead CTS and exemplars of the people. guid- ing them in the path of political recti- tude
 There are three conspicuous citize6s who are now candidates for the presi- dency. Whatever may be my private and personal preference and predilection it is not for me in tiis sacred pulpit or anywhere else publicly to dictate 0 even suggest to you the candidate of my choice.
 May God so enlighten the mind and quicken the conscience of the American people to sense of their civic duties as to arouse In them an earnest and practical interest in the coming elec- ton, and may He so guide their hearts that they will select a chief magistrate whose administration will rebound to the material prosperity and moral well fare of our beloved republic"
