Will Have Splendid Effect

The American Steel and Wire COM
pany's great wire plant at Fairfield
will soon present busy scene. 1t
was all but completed two years ago
when work was stopped. Was 1t poll
tics or a fear of overproduction or
both that caused the Steel corpora
ton officials in New York to put the
wire mill in the indefinite waiting
list? 1t makes no difference now; no
one is concerned about reasons that
seemed good and sufficient to the cor
poration when the halt was called.
But everyone in the Birmingham
district takes lively interest In the
present and the future and no one
thing that could happen here at this
time would have the exhilirating et-
feet on business circles that the in
stallation of machinery at the wire
mill will have. The effect will be
splendid indeed. 1t may be several
months before wire can be produced,
but the mere fact of getting ready
will add greatly to values in this city
and all the section around Fairfield.
Call this elation sentiment, if you
will. But it is sentiment that has
practical basis. 1t will be case of
applied psychology, using that term
in its modern broad sense. The an
nouncement that the wire mill is about
to be completed will have the same
effect on the public imagination as if
the new pay rolls were already put
ting. money in circulation.
The industrial situation in the Bir-
mingham district is more satisfactory
today than it is in some other manu-
featuring centers. Conditions are ex-
cellent here. Wage workers will have
plenty of employment throughout the
summer and with the wire mill in
commission added to the districts in
dustries this should be without ques-
tion our record breaking year from an
industrial point of view.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
The Presbyterian Assemblies


There will be no merging of the North
ern and Southern Presbyterian General
assemblies this year, and it may be sew
erai years yet before organic union Is
brought about said an old layman. But
the two branches of Presbyterianism are
enjoying the very closest fraternal rela-
tions. This has been SO for several years.
Vt can remember when there was any
thing but friendly feeling between the
two bodies. Long after the war section
alfsm was manifest among the Presby-
terians as much as 1t was among the
politicians. but now we are so far from
the COS that friction has entirely dsap-
peared.
Il think 1t would be we'll for the north
ern and southern assemblies to unite but
whether this is done within the next few
years makes little difference so long as
the present feeling of harmony prevails.
That organic union will take place IN
time there can be no reasonable ground
for doubt"

Old Time Peaches

Il am told that some of the peach grow
ers of Georgia are plowing up their orch-
ards in order to try crops that yield bet
ter returns than the peach said w. M
Lindsey. "There are so many peach crop
failures in these recent years that the
average production, even in the most Ia
vored Georgia peach belt, is hardly sur
ficient to be profitable. When very
large crop is in evidence the market be-
comes glutted and the price is consequent
ly low-too low to bring profit. When
the crop is short from frost the quality
of the fruit is usually poor and NOBODY
wants peaches of inferior flavor
'It is noteworthy fact that the ola
time peach orchard could be relied upon
year in and year out Orchards were
not so prolific, perhaps, but the trees
We're harder and a crop failure was
practically unknown. And those were
most luscious peaches, too. The modern
method of farming is along the intensive
line and this intensive idea has obtained
among peach growers. The peach tree
is over-cultivated and that is probably
the reason that we have so many short
crop years"

ColoradO's Patriotic Governor

The Colorado legislature passed a
graduated tax bill that applied to all
incomes exceeding $4,000 a year. If
It had become law incomes would have
been pretty severely taxed, for 1T
would practically have doubled in Col
orado the burden of the income tax
now pending in the federal Senate.
The legislature had adjourned and the
question of it's enactment into law
rested with Governor Ammons, a
democrat.
He promptly vetoed it on the ground
that one income tax at time is
enough in any state, and he preferred
to give the federal bill the right of
way. This was patriotism of a very
different order from that manifested
by Gov. Hiram Johnson of California,
who does not seem to care how much
trouble he Liaxes the federal govern
ment or the AZ other states. Gov
ernors of the Colorado sort do not ap-
pear every day in every state.
The reserved rights of the state are
one thing and federal income tax is
another. The states have just granted
to the federal government the right
to levy an income tax. The grant
came in the nick O. time, for it en-
abled Oscar Underwood and his asso-
ciates to plan the best tariff bill that
this country has known since the war,
TO say the least.

Some RaiIroad Figures

1.-The apnual record of transportation
lines of the Pennsylvania Railroad sys-
tenn has just been Issued" said a local
railroad man. 1T shows that the COM
pany now has 11,644 miles of line and
1855 miles of track. There are some
100000 shareholders interested in these
lines, or nearly four for every mile of
trackage.
"A compilation shows that the system
paid out last year S1SS, ,749,S12 in wages.
or $73I6 for every mile of track, and that
there are more than eight employees for
every mile.
THE record reflects the intensive de-
velopment of the system as demanded by
the public, in the direction of improved
terminal facilities; second, third and
fourth track, yards and sidings, in order
to handle increasing traffic economically
and promptly.
while the present mileage of the sys-
tenn is only 1888 greater than in 1902. there
has been an increase of 1896 miles in sec
ond track. 277 in third track. and 224 in
fourth track.
'Since 1902 the mileage of company sid
ings as they are called. has been in
creased from 5916 to 1865 or 3049 miles
every mile of which enables the company
to expedite the movement of trains in
congested periods"

Interest on Government Deposits

On and after June / Secretary Nc
Adoo will require all national banks
acting as government depositaries to
pay per cent interest on all deposits.
AS they stand ready to pay that much
to secure money from other sources
there seems to be no reason why they
should not deal impartially with the
government. No bank is compelled to
borrow from the government, and no
bank will borrow government money
unless it can see some advantage in
the operation.
All are willing to see local banks
seek government deposits, for the
volume of circulation in trade and
business is increased thereby. The
keeping Of vast, amounts in treasry
vaults is archaic and altogether un-
called for. Alabama is on the archaic
line in this respect, owing to the terms
Of the constitution of 1901. 1t may not
be necessary to charge interest or
state funds, but they should be
brought into the channels of trade
At present this is not a pressing issue,
for the state has precious little money
to disburse.
The federal government has large
surplus, and the Secretary of the
Treasury wisely decides that it shall
60 into general circulation under
proper safeguards.

TAKING A CHANCE

From the Washington Star.
Senator Lee S. Overman of North
Carolina, when young man, was
private secretary to Governor Vance OF
that state. The governor was candi-
date for election to the United States
Senate, and his most formidable op-
ponent was Senator Merriman, at that
time the incumbent.
In the heat of the campaign young
Overman fell in love with Merriman $
daughter, and prosecuted his suit with
all the ardor of southern wooer At
length things reached a stage where he
felt that he could no longer continue
to hold his position as SECRETARY to the
opponent of the father of his lady-love
So, in a heart-t heart talk with Gov
ernor Vance he confided the true state
of affairs. setting forth that while his
position as secretary was highly ad-
vantag geous to him from a sordid
worldly point of view, it was well sac
rificed on the altar of love, etc.
Don't be a fool, son." Interrupted the
governor. IF Merriman can stand You
for a son-in-law, l reckon I can stand
you for a secretary"
Overman held down both jobs.

Mr.. Henderson's Veto Pledge

Chairman Henderson of the railroad
commission, a successful business man
of Trov. is a candidate for governor,
and the first plank of his platform
nledpes him to veto any bill that ap-
portions money beyond the revenue of
the state. The treasury was emptled
in Governor Comer's term and it has
nracticallv been in that condition ever
since. A surplus of million and
quarter of dollars was changed into a
deficit of about three-quarters OF a
million. Much inconvenience and some
hardships have resulted, and the con-
dition of the treasury is no credit to
the state.
Mr.. Henderson pledges himself, if
elected governor, to prevent a repeti-
-tion of this trouble. The deficit will
he overcome in time and when it is no
one wants to see it repeated, and no
doubt Mr.. Henderson will gain votes
because of his pledge that he will veto
any bill that outruns the revenue OF
the state.
The other candidates for governor
have not been heard from on this sub
iect. Each and every one Of them
should state where he stands on sub
ject that pertains to the good name of
the state and to a smooth working Of
state policies.

A Popular Name

"The name Fairfield recently substi-
tuted for Corey has become very popu-
lar" said a prominent business man.
Il thought it might be some time be
fore the public got used to the new name
but I find that the citizens of that model
city and others who are interested in
its upbuilding have Fairfield pat. When
the town was about to be laid out Corey
was selected as the name in compliment
TO the then president of the Steel cor
poration, William Ellis Corey. But 1t Is
generally felt that an unindividual name
for an industrial city gives more sat
isfaction in the long run than one named
after an individual, especially If that in
dividual be living. 1t would have been
difficult to have selected finer name
than Fairfield
"As soon as the wire mill is in oper-
alton Fairfields population will increase
rapidly and it is safe to say that within
the next three years it will have pop
ulatfon of 1900 to 10000. for the wire
mill is only one of several new indus
tries that will be established in the Fair
field neighborhood.

Flying from Key West to Havana


The prize of $4,000 offered by the
city council of Havana to any Cuban
who first succeeded in flying over the
80 miles of water between Key West
and Havana has been awarded to
Senor Domingo Rosello. His task
stands without precedent. A Cana
dian attempted the feat in January,
1911, but he fell into the sea about
10 miles from the Moro, from which
he was rescued before the sharks had
discovered him. All Cubans dread
sharks, although it is said no shark
will attack a swimmer. Be that as
it may the strait had never been
crossed by an airman or a swimmer
until Rosello flew across it in an aero
plane.
This modern bridge may III the
course of time prove useful. 1t may
yet be duplicated daily. 1t is really
the only kind of bridge that can exist
between Key West and Havana. The
channel is deep and of increasing use
fulness. The gulf stream courses
through it, and a bridge for ayiators
is all the situation affords.
