CAPT, SHEPHERD MAY
 JOIN BRITISH ARMY
Montgomery Will Probably Furnish at Least One Recruit in Event
 England Goes to War

Montgomery, August g.-(Speciai )-ln the event England engages in the general European war, the arms of the United kinsrom will have at least one recruit from Montgomery. He is Capt. Ernest G. Shepherd, formerly a sergeant insti'uc- tor in the United States army, but now an officer of the Alabama National Guard.
 Captain Shepherd is an Englishman by birth, and has the distinction of having fought for his native country in the South African wars.
 Leaving England shortly after the Boer war he enlisted in the United States army and served in Cuba and the Philip pines.
 Several years ago he was detailed by the war department as sergeant instructor of the Alabama National Guard. When his term of enlistment expired some months ago, Sergeant Shepherd resigned from the army and accepted a commission as captain in the state militia.
 Since coming to America Captain Shep- herd has taken out naturalization papers and is now citizen of the United States However, he will go to England to help his native country in the event she en- gages in war, and, in anticipation of the call for recruits, has already tentatively resigned his present position.

DALLAS PLANTERS
 HOLDING COTTON FireprOOf Warehouses Built to Hold Staple for an In-
 definite Period

Selma, August 3.-(Special.) With the cotton market down to a low ehb and with no prospects of the price for the staple going up again for weeks and per haps months several large Dallas county farmers are making preparations for the holding of their crop indefinitely. Every indication points that a bumper cotton crop will be gathered In ths section this fall and the farmers are decidedly blue over the prospects of getting the small est price for several years past
 In view of the low price which cotton will bring several well known Dallas county farmers have begun arrangements by which they will be able to kep their crop for an indefinite period. They have started and are building on their planta- tions fireproof warehouses in which they will.store their cotton until the market goes up again. Several farmers have all ready had such warehouses already built necessary arrangements for their erec- tion.
 A negro giving his name as Tom Jones and who is believed to be wanted by the Perry county authorities, was shot and painfully injured Sunday night by Polio, Officer Sheppard. while trying to make his escape.
 Little apprehension is felt here for the several Selmians who are abroad at tho present time Among the Selmians abroad are: MT. and Mrs Crotch, Mir and Mrs. J. l.. Schweizer, Dr. and Mrs J. N. Furniss. Dr. James Kenan and Miss Annelu Burns

BALDWIN HAS GOOD
 TURPENTINE SEASON
Excellent Prices Have Prevailed for Rosin-Teachers for County
 About All Secured

Bay Minette. August 3.-(Special )-The turpentine men over this county report that the summer which Is now nearing it's close has been one with an exceeding lyq good run of sap and with medium to good returns for the products. The orch ards over the county are not nearly so large as in past years, but there are perhaps. more men and companies in the turpentne business than previously.
 The long dry spell through the early part of the summer when the weather was exceedingly warm, aided greatly in forcing out the sap. and all the opera tors report unusually good runs during that time At the present time. however, the sap Is beginning to slack up and from this time on. the run will not be so heavy.
 The excellent price which has been re- ceiyed for the rosin from the various stills Is also a source of an increased income.
 The Rev. J. s. Lambert. county superin- tendent of education, reports that up to the present time. he has completed ar engagements for teachers for practically all of the schools in this county with the exception of about 20 first and second grade teachers

Venturesome Capital

Venturesome Capital
 Fora long time we have heard much of the timidity of capital of the disposition to secrete it or to let it lie idle, gath ering such trifling interest in many cases as the banks are willing to allow Those who operate in the securities mar ket have wondered when the tide would turn and gpeat volumes of capital or cash be invested in securities. or in other words when there would. be large buying market It was said one day last week that the brokers for the first time in over a year had found abundant busi- ness for the market dealings represented approximately million shares. It was customary to say that many shares as this were sold. but if there was sale of shares there was also buying. The of fering of securities did not go begging, Capital found Itself. Thousands of shares of stock were purchased and paid for in cash. possibly to be stored away in strong boxes until more active times come. This great movement of heretofore idle funds checked whatever disposition there was to panic. and the extraordinary fea- ture of this is that this should have happened when the peril of general Flu | ropean war was known to be great and when certain conditions in the United States, at least business conditions, were | not entirely favorable.
 Another phenomenon is regarded as a l good demonstration of underlying con ,, fidence throughout the United States in I the value of American properties which are represented by securities listed in the exchanges. There appears to have ben not a general movement by those who l have small holdings of stock to part with l them If confidence were entirely lost, presumably the great part of these stocks would be- offered for sale so that the | owners of them could realize as much cash as possible It was observed in the l Wall street district that some faces once l familiar. but for long time not seen | in the Wall street district. were again 1 upon the thoroughfares. These were faces | of men who in times of considerable de- l pression appear in the market abundant ly supplied with cash seeking good bar l gains Undoubtedly some of these men i found bargains of that kind.
 True Cooperation
 Still another feature of the phenomenal transactions of last week was the dem- | onstration made by the bankers. some of whom have been. thought to be in al
 liance with the mystic money power, that 1 1t is possible to have perfect co-opera- l tion without in any way violating the moral or the statutory law. The bankers
 were not only willing but anxious tc give such aid as was possible in sup pressing panicky tendencies or ruinous
 decentralization of prices They gave | abundant support to those who were

that all of the large banks were assist ing in this way. All this demonstrated that notwithstanding depression and a sort of superficial lack of confidence there is really perfect confidence throughout the United States in the healthfulness of American finapcial and industrial or ganizations and in the values which are in the great American properties.

Europe. Presumably hoardng will be- gin In Europe it will be impossible to estimate the extent of the commercial demoraizaton and stagnation which will be sure to be observed for some months.
 Many persons attribute, in part, the so-ealled rich men's'' or silent panic of 1902 to the waste and destruction, and demoralization as well. which were oc. casioned by Great Britain's war with the Boers of South Africa. Not until Great
 Britain had permanently financed her large war debt did financial and com
 mereial conditions become normal, or apparently normal.
 In the financial district preparations
 were already under way for meeting imperative needs of large financing for
 some of the railroad corporations and for some of the industrial corpora tions.
 Reference was recently publicly made
 to the demands for fresh capital which
 will within the next year or a year and
 a half bemade by railroad companies
 and by several of the large ndustrials.
 It may be that the demoralization already
 oceasoned, even if it be not increased
 by general eonflagraton of war in Flu
 rope will compel a postponement of some
 of the financing and it is certain to
 make any that is imperative and in
 large amount more difficult to compass.
 There have come within a day or two intinations that Great Britain and France. as we'll as Germany. have been
 profoundly impressed by the. revelation
 of substantial strength and fundamental soundness which the United States has made since the rupture between Austria and Servia began. Some of these inti- nations were contained in published dis patches from Europe which hinted at a
 more hopeful outlook. Some of then were private intimations. confidential 1T their nature, contained in correspondence by cable which our international bank CTS had with our representatives in Lon don and France.
 That the American market withstooc steadily the attacks which were made upon securities was quickly observed 1T London, an observation which may lead British capital to invest again in Ameri can securities.
 Europe Takes Heed
 There were certain phenomena of ths market conditions last week which vii become traditional As a whole, thes, have attracted attention to the fact tha the financial district in this city is no | local but national. Many of the deal | ings carried on in the exchanges repre- scented transactions which originated il | many other parts of the country. No even in 1907 was there better proof 0 | the fact that as Washington Is the DO | litical capital of the nation, being there | by national in character, so the financia | district of New York is the financia capital and is for that reason far mor' | national in its character than it is To cal.
 Another phenomenon which has beei | much discussed and is sure to become 1 historic was the curious unexpected un

skating on thin ice'' In his speech
yesterday. which broadly intimated
that the president had not decided to
read q message to congress on the
Panama tolls question until after Sir
Lionel Garden, British minister to
Mexico, visited the White House. The
senator came to discuas with the presi-
dent certain regulations Of a pending
fisheries bill affecting the salmon in
dustry in the northwest. but Mr.. Will
son turned the conversation to the
senator's speech OF yesterday.
The president told callers afterward
that he could not get q suggestion on
the Mexico question out of Sir Lionel

ference was purely for information on
the general situation In Mexico. The
president had written his tolls message
and decided to deliver It before he saw
Sir Lionel. Officials said neither the
tolls question nor any suggestions for
future policy in the Mexican situation
came up in the talk with Sir Lionel.
