the terms of the franchise of the Bir-
mingham Railway, Light and Power
company to operate in this city that
company cannot use the current of
the Alabama Interstate Power COM
pany. City Commissioner Weatherly
stated yesterday he had been looking
into this very phase Of the proposition,
but that he so far had failed to find
any such provision.
AS a matter of fact" said Mr..
Weatherly, II can speak of the matter
only offhand, for l have not had time
to examine it carefully As far as
Know, however. there is no provision
prohibiting the Birmingham Railway.
Light and Power company from usins
the current of the Alabama Interstate
POWER company. and in turn selling
this same current to the ultimate con-
suiner Tor power and light purposes
some people are prophesying that the
FRANCHISE being asked for by Mr.. Dew
berry OF the Tidewater company, is
for the Alabama Interstate Power COM
pany. There Is no basis of fact about
the prophesy, however Things have
been very duh about the city hall the
last rev days and people have tC
prophesy something.

fire have not been determined, II origi-
mated in the sales stables OF the Dothan

of hay and other feed stuffs.
The principal losses are as follows:

Patroilnan Reeves discovered the DlaAe

TALKS ON THRIFT
AMBITIOUS YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN

and each day wdens tie gulf between
him and incompetenee and its invariable
companion. nprovidence. This is the real
framework of the structure of success
Eacn of It's supports, IL will invariably
be found. rests upon a foundation stone
of an early dollar saved"
There is a distinct moral and mental
value in the practice of sensible economy.
college president puts it this way:
There is no greater ateadying infu-
ence for young men than a growing ac-
count in some good bank. There is a
sense of proprietorship and responsibility
in buying certificate of deposit, while
a savings pass book is an anchor to hold
a boy steady in the shoal waters
The same idea is expressed in the Man
ual of the Boy Scouts of America, in this
way:
"A scout is thrifty. He does not wan
tonly destroy property. lie works faith
fully. wastes nothing. and makes the best
use of his opportunities. He saves his
money so that he may pay his own way,
be generous to those in need, and helpful
to worthy objects"
One of the most important things young
people can learn is the value of money,
and one of the best ways to do 1t is to
save money Systematically and to deposit
1t regularly in a strong, Interest paying
bank.
It is a splendid preparation for business,
too. The boy who early becomes familiar
with banks and the earning power oi
money will have a distinct advantage
when he starts on his business career.
The viewpoint of the employer on this
subject is illustrated by these words OF
a prominent manufacturer:
sThe best men working in our shops
today are the men. who are saving money
regularly. The steadiness of purpose and
ambition thus displayed is apparent in
their work. They are the men TO whom
adyancements and promotions most ire
quently come and they are the
last to be laid off when times are dull
