accountable for each coupon received.
When received, coupons are carefully
examined to see If they are properly
sorted as to place of payment and
maturity The correct income tax
certificate must be attached when
such restriction on payment is requir-
ed. When the various packages are
in order for payment. they are pre-
scented by messengers to the place OF
payment.
The Money Transfer Division
handles letters Of advice and tele-
graphic payments. The former is an
advice to a firm. individual or another
banking institution. acknowledging
the receipt of funds to be credited to
a despositor. Telegraphic payments
are instructions sent by wire to firms,
individuals, or institutions of any kind
for the payment of stipulated sum
to whomever designated.
Letters Of advice may be either
local or out of town. For example:
A New York house presents a certi-
fed check at the Money Transfer win
dow accompanied by a written re-
quest that funds be placed to the
credit of depositor located in a dis
tant city. A letter of advice is given
to the New York firm and an advice
Of credit is sent to the out of town
depositor. An out of town depositor
likewise may mail a letter instructing
that their account be charged and
the amount paid to New York firm.
Telegraphic payments likewise are
both received and sent. The te1e-
gram however, is used as a medium
of money transfer only in cases
where quick action is imperative.
The Transit Department handles
only one kind of an item. viz, Cash
Items Cash items represent funds
! which have already been credited to
a depositor's account. The items,
consisting of checks or demand drafts,
are received by the Transit Depart
ment from Out Of Town -depositors,
from all departments of the institu-
ton, and from it's branch Offices.
Items are disposed of through four
different channels: Clearing House,
Out of Town Division, Checks, and
Cash Routes. All checks drawn on
banks which are members of the
Clearing House are marked paid,
sorted, listed and taken to the Clear
ing House. whei e exchange of checks
between member banks takes place.
The Out of Town Division takes a
record of all checks going to out Of
town points and sees that the proper
instructions are contained in the let
tiers of transmitta1. Checks drawn on
a bank by it's depositors are sent to
the various departments and branches
where the accounts are kept.

Montgomery, May 19.-CSpeclal.)- The rebel yell resounded throughout Montgomery today as the Confederate veterns began their annual state re- union. They came here for a frolic and it has been a frolic from the time the first one arrived. It was expected about fifty would be here the first evening and preparations were made to lur nish supper for that number.
 Shortly before supper time the $. O. S: call went out for more food. Before the evening was over 2S4 veterans hao been fed and every bit Of food pur- chased for breakfast had been con sumed, and it was necessary Tor the entertainment committee to com mandeer vehicles and haul in new sup plies for the morning meal.
 Gray uniforms were predominant on the streets and in the hotel lobbies Wednesday and every veteran was at tempting to show how old in years and young in spirit he really was. One veteran from Chambers county, who will be 79 his next birthday, did a clog dance on the tile floor of the Elk change hotel. Another let forth rebel veil which resounded throughout the business section.
 The first session of the organization was held at the city auditorium at lC o'clock this morning. Brig. Gen. John K. Barton of Birmingham, commander of the Alabama division, was in com mand and the address of welcome was delivered by Mayor W. A. Gunter, Jr Mrs. J. H. Crenshaw spoke the words oi welcome for the United Daughters oi the Confederacy, while the response to both addresses was made by General Barton.
 Following the addresses of welcome General Barton delivered tribute to the Confederate dead and to the womer of the Confederacy and the meeting after the appointment of committees and the transaction of routine business ended with all veterans singing ano shouting the song of Dixie"
 Adjt Gen. D. M. Scott of Selma IS expected to. succeed General Barton as commander of the Alabama division He has received the indorsement o1 large numbers of veterans and it is improbable that he will have any op- position.
 The second day will be devoted to the annual parade and sightseeing. Col Bibb Graves has been selected as grand marshal in the absence of Gen R. E. Steiner, who was called to New York at the last moment. This parade will be reviewed by Governor Kilby and his staff. with. prominent visitors including Maj. Gen. William l.. Sibert United States army, retired, who vii be here to deliver the address at tn, laying of the cornerstone of the Sol diers Memorial Hospital.

APPEAL ID COURTS APPEARS PROBABLE
Harassing Situation About Railway Cars and Coal Is
 Injuring Business

At the annual meeting of the Na- tional Coal Association to be held in Atlantic City, May 25-27, commercial coal mine operators, whose mines are served by the Southern Railway, will
 make an earnest effort to have the
 association commit itself and "go to
 the mat" with the railway in the mat ter of assigned" cars.
 The Birmingham district delegates
 to the association go instructed in fa-
 vor of legal action to determine the
 matter once and for all.
 This question of assigning" cars will be one of the live topics at the convention. Commercial operators in other states have the same grievance, namely the alleged discrimination on the part of railroads in furnishing cars to mines producing railroad fuel to the disadvantage of the commer- 1 cial collieries. The result. it is con- tendsd. is either to pile up costs by i operation of overhead without produc-
 tion or to sell coal at lower price to | the railroads and thus secure favorit- ! ism in the distribution of coal cars. The assigning of cars was permitted | up to the World war period, when it ! was especially stopped by order of 1 the government in order to keep traf- | fife moving. The commercial operators
 contend that assigning cars was es- pecially prohibited in the railroad act
 of March, 1920, which provided for re- 1 turn of railroads to private control They are inclined to believe that the interstate commerce commission, which ! has permitted revival of the custom
 since April 22, has Overlooked this law. Forney Johnston, attorney, is on his way to Washington to again confer with the interstate commerce commits .
 sion with regard to this matter and
 again ask for relief. but the operators ] do not expect any in that quarter. l Mir. Johnston will go on to Atlantic Petty and attend the convention there
 Following that it is judged more than
 probable that legal action will at once ensue.
 | Legal action to enforce equal dis l tribution of cars was begun in Ala bama in April, but was withdrawn in prospect of arranging it without legal action, but no results have attended and legal action is again meditated
