MERRITT OPPOSED
 BY A. H. CARMICHAEL
Tuskegee Candidate for Speaker, However, Satis-
 fled With Chances

Montgomery April 24.-(Special.) " P Merritt of Tuskegee, who was re- gently nominated for another term in the state legislature, was among the
 visitors at the capitol today. MT Mer-
 ritt will be a candidate for speaker of
 the house in the next legislature and he expresses himself as highly satisfied with
 his chances. Mir. Merritt will be opposed by A. H. Carmichael of Colbert county who served as speaker of the house dur ing the previous administration.
 Already friends of the two candidates
 have begun to canvass Tn their behalf and indications are that the race will be rather spirited. It is pointed out that Mir Merritt has one distinct advantage in his favor, and that is the fact that
 Colbert county has furnished the speaker of the house for two successive terms, 1 thereby making an uneven disturibution of honors. Should MT. Carmichael be | elected, it will make the third time that Colbert county has furnished the speaker in the last eight years.
 Friends of MT. Merritt are sanguine | that they will be able to elect him to the speakership, and they will continue a determined and persistent fight in his behalf. MT. Merritt has been one of
 the leading members of the legislature for the past eight years, and it is be- lieved that his services will be recog-
 nized when the next legislature assemblies I by his election to the speakership
 l It is not believed that there will be other candidates for the honor, though
 there may be an attempt to elect a speak
 CT of the local option principles. How
 ever, this is exceedingly doubtful, accord ing to reports, and the contest will be | between MT. Merritt and Mir Carmichael

Secretary of State Looks Older and Responsibilities Are Having an UnfavOrable Effect on

By C. E. STEWART.

Washington April 24-(Special )-War is expensive, but Uncle Sam can finance a war with Mexico and scarcely feel it, ae- cording to officials at Washington. The governments finances are considered to be in excellent condition-so good are they that the the treasury officials who are in the closest touch with the situation have given only tentative consideration to the subject of providing a war fund.
 Current appropriations for the army and navy will take care of all the im- mediate needs of these two branches of the service, and of course Congress will appropriate the money as fast as it is needed It costs no more to maintain the where, and the navy is now doing all the work.
 In case of extraordinary expenses which will arise naturally during a state of war, money can be raised, it is pointed out, precisely as it was raised during the Spanish American war, through ex- traordinary taxes It is estimated that 8 beer and stamp tax would increase the revenues of the government at least S100,- o0o, 900 a year The imposition of such taxes would have to be made, of course by Congress but it is expected there would be no hesitancy either in the House or Senate, now that the country is com mitted to a Mexican programme, to re- enact certain revenue measures that pre- vailed during the Spanish-American war.

 Birmingham has grown in 12 years from 38,0O0 to 180,000. She is still young and still growing. I say, keep your eye on Birmingham.

 J. P. Mann
 A Chicagoian must feel at home in Birmingham. There are many points of similarity--neither city can boast of its |antiquity. but each of them are pos sessed of youth, viriiity, push, progress and enterprise. They are in no way rivals and should. therefore, be the
 best of friends. Nature has provided for Chicago a location that must even
 tually and without doubt make her the
 great central market of the United States, and to Birmingham she has
 given unlimited resources that will bring to her wealth untold from every
 quarter of the earth and better still Birmingham has not only the resources
 that mean ultimate supremacy but she
 has the right kind of men necessary
 to develop them and to build a city
 that already commands the admiration of all who have had an opportunity to judge of it in comparison with all oth- CTS commanding the attention of the business world.
 '"rhe United States is full of re- sources of wealth but of what use are they without the men to develop them and herein lies the secret of Birming- hams success. She has the resources and she has the men. Her success is not a thing of the future; 1t is al
 ready here. but the glory of her fu-
 ture no man can measure"

IRON AND STEEL
 CONTINUES DULL Leading Industries Note Lit" tie Change From Pre-
 ceding Week

New York, April 24.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 Aside from an improvement noted in retail trade west. northwest and south west, the result of warmer more springlike weather and flattering early crop prospects,, trade and industry generally has not shown any partic- ular change this week. Indeed the quiet or irregular con ditions heretofore ruling have been rather accentuated by the uncertainty even as to the outlook for war or peace and aside from slight, apparently tenn porary flip given commodity prices and some bear drives against prices of se- curities, the situation broadly speaking, shows few new developments.
 "The leading industries note little change from preceding weeks Iron and steel are dull as regards new business, as dull, in fact, as for a long time past.
 For the week: Failures, 319 against 273 last year; wheat exports. 2.764,- 91O against 3,494,924; bank clearings. s3.5S6,1e5.0oO. an increase of 14.2 per cent"
