 I've have found in recent work that we are effecting a saving of at least 2b per cent" said Hugh Martin of Miller & Mar tin, architects. I've know also that very large part of the material that goes into a house Is being bought at very con- siderable discount over last years prices. Labor has been secured at a reduction of from 25 to 40 per cent under the regular prices. There is no question in my mind but what this saving is actual and real not merely theoretical. We find that saving is not only made in the lower cost of materials and labor, but the contractor. and consequently the owner. effects con siderable saving in time Work is being done more quickly and material is more promptly delivered than in ordinary times. Better material is secured as the builder Is in position to demand more strict grad ing than usually is the case. In other words, the builder Is in position to ask for and receive the highest possible class of service from both his labor and the peo- pie who are furnishing his material

At the last quarter there were about % warrants returned. Quite number of ex-slaves have called on Judge Stiles under the impression that pensions had been awarded them.

ID NAME MEMBERS . OF CONVICT BUREAU Henderson Expected to Act on Matter During the
 Week

That the governor will name this week new members of the state convict bureau and that one of the members will be a resident of this county. was the subject of a report brought yester- day by generally we'll informed people from Montgomery.
 It was said some weeks ago that Governor Henderson would not make any appointments save those absolute ly necessary until after the final ad- journment of the legislature. If the above report is true, however, he will depart from his original intention as far as the convict department is con- cerned.
 It Is learned that the members of the recess committee on investigation will not endeavor to deprive the gov ernor of his right to make appoint ments, but will be content with the adoption of the recommendation that it will. make to the effect that the members be named for two, four and six years, respectively, so that always one experienced man will be a mem- Der. It is understood that Governor Henderson concurs in the opinion Of tho committee that that plan Is wise
 Regarding the personnel of the members of the new bureau there iv more or less secrecy. George O. Waite of Andalusia, originally slated for pres ident of the 'board, and who In the beginning of this administration agreed to accept the post. has announced thas he will be unable to do so. It is said that a citizen of Montgomery will be named as president and that the in- spector will be resident of Jefferson. None of the present members will be reappointed. 1t is said. Nothing re- garding the probable appointee as con vict physician has leaked out.
