Mobile and New Orleans will average about s to the bale. The rail and water 20 per cent differential means a saving of 50 cents on each bale, or, if all the cotton within the territory affected by these rates going to Mobile and New Orleans should move by the Warrior, the saving on this 50000O l.ales would be SS00.o00 per annum on that one item.
 As explained by O. L. Bum. general manager of the traffic bureau and Chamber of Commerce. the tendency is stsll toward higher rail freight rates. That being the case, the higher the rail rates go the greater the saving in freight charges will be by reason of the Warrior differentials on the part of those using the river.
 General Hines says of the Warrior, a Mir. Nesbitt quoted in his address, this:
 'Of all the waterways in the
 United States the Warrior river of
 fers the best opportunity for the
 government to show the advantage
 of and profit in inland waterway
 service and more than any other stream 1t offers immediate and d.
 rect advantages to the communities
 on or adjacent to 1t.
 If the undertakings of the govern ment for successful transportation service on this stream fall it will be rot because of the lack of opportunity, but because those of us in charge and those cooperating with us fail in a business-like way to take advantage of and lack the brains to manage the op- portunity."
 After the showing made of the work done on the Warrior and what is re- quired to complete that portion of the job which depends on Birmingham and Birmignham alone, J. Frank Rushton, who presided over the meeting. called Treasurer R. A Brown to the front and the subscriptions were taken.
 PUT UP MONEY
 That the stockholders present at once and with practical unanimity doubled their stock subscriptions was taken as evidence of confidence in the enterprise as payng investment as well as one of benefit to the district
 Tn this connection it was stated with authority by ar Nesbitt that one sub soriber to the Port of Birmingham Cor poration had saved in freight charges on one upstream shipment of 1000 tons of stuff just $3,000, or 75 per cent of hls subscription to the capital stock.
 Birmingham is asked by these few men who subscribed s134,00O to the corporation which is building the river terminals and who have doubled their subscriptions to come across" with the small matter of about $50,000.
 Treasurer Brown expects to raise this [ in a matter of two hours when the com r,ittees go out on that quest.
