political grafter pulled it's leg" upon the slightest opportunity.
 Now it is all different. The Louisville and Nashville is out of politics. It neither subscribes to the politician nor to the corrupt newspaper. It attends to its busi- ness in hauling passengers and freight and puts it's political fund of the past into better service and plain clements , to the people of what 1t is doing and can, do to build up this state.
 As a consequence, you seldom hear a man abusing the Louisville and Nashville railroad now. On the other hand. you hear praise of its service and enterprise in every direction. It is asking forr na< favors or short cuts, no 'jokers' in aleg- islative bills, and it no longer has al lot of whisky drinking. money spennng loud talking lobbyists infesting Mont gomery. It is a business enterprise now, respected and applauded. Only fsw dis appointed soreheads of the past nrw bark at 1t.

 The lesson of experience of bthe Ten nessee company and the LouAville and Nashville railroad could be taken advan- tage of by some of the new corporations and cotton mill people who< have been spraying the legislative halls at Mont gomery recently with a mixture of mr lasses and hot air.

THE real pay rolls of the past week in industrial Birmingham were as re-
 freshing as would be fall of hail in this intensely hot weather.
 For the first time since July a year ago. real money is today handled and dis tributed by all the people of this section. This time next month the cash pay rolls in the Birmingham district will be the largest in it's history.
 The steel mill. the wire mill and all the furnaces at Ensley are running on full time, and selling the products at almost fancy prices Everything except steel rails is selling like hot cakes, and the demand for steel rails is already sufficient to keep the rail mill going.

 But for the hot weather there would be almost boom talk in this section. Even cotton is in good demand and the price is not bad by any means. I do not believe that the farmer need fear about good prices for the ripening crop. While Eng land is preventing shipments to Germany. she is manifesting a desire to take care of the cotton that would go to Germany in normal times and to pay reasonable price for the same.
 England will not pay thirty cents a pound for our cotton, but The Spectator and The London Times are urging that the British government bux the American cot ton which would go to Germany and Aus tra in normal times and pay us ten cents a pound for it. It strikes me that this would be a good trade for our cotton producers.

Result of Business Improvement

For the last month we have been delivering cars as fast as we could get them in,' said Bun Roberts, secretary of one of the best known automobile concerns in the city. When man tells another that business is not i'm proving every minute and you happen to hear him. it Is up to you to set the knocker right I don't believe there is a business in town that has not noticed an appreciable increase during the past few months.
 When a man Is selling a luxury and hard times come along he is sure to be among the first to know that con ditions are depressed. But when this same man commences to sell his lux ury he is the first to know that good times are here. We are giving more demonstrations and are having more inquiries today than we have had in the past 12 months. For my part. expect my firm to do the greatest Eol' ume of business it has enjoyed any time in the last two years. 1t is safe prediction to say that this year will be a banner one for all the automobile concerns who have real machine foi sale.
