Thousands upon thousands of women

PROMINENT MEN TO
MAKE TRIP Up THE
WARRIOR BY BOAT
Much Attention Now Being
Given to Possibilities of
Water Transportation
From Coal Fields

Another significant step in the de-
velopment of barge lines in the War
rior river was taken yesterday when
ErslSine Ramsay, vice president of the
Pratt Consolidated Coal company.
George G. Crawford, president of the
Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad conf
pany; H. Ellis Mccormack of the Pratt
company and other industrial leaders
left for Mobile to accompany a boat
of the Pratt company up the river to
Tuscaloosa.
The officials will ride from Mobile
up the river until nightfall and will
anchor and resume the trip at daylight
so that a daylight ride will be possible
from the beginning until Tuscaloosa is
reached. The trip will be made in the
steamer lately purchased by the Pratt
Consolidated company. which will be
used as a tow boat for the barges that
are being made near Holt for the Pratt
company, and which will be used in the
coal trade between the mines and gulf
points. This is the second trip made BY
prominent operators to the river in
order to study that situation, which Is
expected to be followed by great de-
velopments in the coal business of that
section Mr. Ramsay yesterday said that
the party will start from Mobile up
the river just as soon as convenient
after reaching Mobile. He said that the
bringing of the boat up the river was
not in itself of any particular impor-
lance, but indicated that the company
was fast rounding up the details in
connection with their proposed opera
lions on the Warrior river. The COM
pany plans to build eight barges or
more, costing about $4,000 each, to be
used in the coal trade.
No statement has been made lately
from any other corporation as to any
plans on the river. The Frat company
will be the second organization to start
barging. There Is one line now in opera
tion which is being reorganized by
Warner Shook, which has boats operat-
Ing to Mobile and with considerable
success. Mr.. Ramsay. Mr.. Crawford and
the other members of the party will re-
turn in a few days.
1t is stated that Lock II will be COM
pleted this summer whereupon the
mines of the Prattscompany will be
available by boats and the barge lius
will be started. The Pratt company will
ship its first coal from the Moxine mines.
A. tram line is being built to the river
from Moxine now.

BUT TWO MORE DAYS
TO PAY POLL TAX
Today Is Last Day for C0un-
ty and State LicenseTaxes
Without Delinquency

Two more days to pay poll tax. Yes
terday there was a marked increase in
the number of persons qualifying as
voters but according to Dave vii
liams, deputy tax collector, the pay
ments are much behind those of last
year and unless there is rush today
and Monday many thousands Of cit
liens will be disqualified from voting
at any election held this year, Tax
Collector Phil Bowers urges all those
who intend paying to attend 10 the
matter at once to avoid the rush that
will probably occur on the last day.
He states that the office will be kept
open tonight provided anyone appears
to pay the poll tax.
Today Is the last day that state and
county license can be paid without tho
additional delinquent penalties. Ac-
cording to court officials many people
are under the impression that these
licenses can be paid February l like
poll tax This is erroneous, however.
for unless the licenses are paid today
a penalty will be added

OPERATIONS NEXT WEEK

to get the damage repaired. New motors
have been installed and are ready for
operation. The plant at Fairfield is now
employing something over 400 men and
with the resumption Monday about that
number of additional men will be placed
on the pay rolls. The resumption of the
plant will be learned with interest here,
for its signifies betterment in the gem
eral situation As for wire orders this
question was asked officials of the plant
yesterday and they answered that unless
orders were on hand they would scarcely
start operations again just now.
The announcement that the wire plant
would resume was the only substantial
development in local industrial circles
yesterday. There is steady operation at
the Ensley mills with no indications that
the programme that has been followed
for some weeks will be changed.
In addition to being of interest to the
employees, the resumption of the wire
mill will provide an additional outlet
for the steel made at the Ensley plant

TAKING OVER OF
JEFFERSON BANK
WITHOUT INCIDENT
Superintendent Walker Re-
turns to Montgomery and
Leaves r. l.. Wilkes in
Charge During Day

The assumption of control of the Jeffer-
son County Savings bank yesterday morn
ing by Alex f. Walker. state superin-
tendent of banks. and his assistant, r. L.
Wilkes, following the formal suspension
of the bank, was without special incident.
Assistant Superintendent Wilkes was In
charge following the, departure of Mr..
Walker for Montgomery. Mr.. Wilkes had
nothing to say for publication. The Of
ficers of the bank also thought it proper
to say nothing at this time or add to the
statement made yesterday morning,
In banking circles it was learned that
there was more real cash on hand in local
banks yesterday than for sometime. As
the situation developed yesterday every
bank in town had it's vaults crowded with
money. AS for the Jefferson County bank
It is assured that every person depositing
there. will get 100 cents for every dollar.
The best opinion is that the suspension
is only temporary, and that as matters
are adjusted there will be a resumption.

cupied banking rooms In the tallest sky

constructed by the Jefferson Realty COM
