NEW YORK. Nov 19. Nows has
been published to ho effect that the
enormous gold figures Imported from
foreign countries lias been substanti-
ally added to. Hcldolbach Ickeluol-

Guarantee Company concluded negotla'
tlons for an additional ?l"000000 and
later for an additional GdO.ODO. 'This
brings Iho total engagements to $72-
000000 an unheard of' figure. How
much longer American Banks and
Trust Companies will continue to ne-
gotiate gold Jrom European markets is
unascertalnable. "Exoprts declare tho
$100000000 mark will be reached be-
fore the import oMorolgn gold ceases;
'Notwithstanding this additional nego-
tiation no flurry of excitement was
occasioned. The New York gold and
stock market" Is as calm as on the dul-
lest summed days. 'Indeed financiers'
seem to think tho financial situation
materially improved. As as evidence
to this fact is given the re-opening of
the Twelfth Ward bank which 'sus-
pended payment when the'trouble be-
gan. The news of the banks action
.spread quickly and in a Bhort'Whtlea

PROSPECTIVE IMPROVEMENT IN

V
Stamford ho! So thought eleven
shivering sleepy delegates with over-
coat collars pulled high up and steam
rising from their damp backs as they
waited patiently ("!) for tho early morn
lhg Abileno & Northern passenger to
pull out for points north.. This is the
party who go to make up tho Central
West Texas Federation of Commercial
ClubsJ also tho West Texas Press As-
sociation. This latter organization is
a new ono indeed one not yet form-
ed It is thought however thul news
paper men from every section of Wo.t
Texas will bo in Stamford today on
hand to assist in the organization of a
Press Association. This will bo a
great stroke for newspap'ora through-
out the section as well as for the ma-
terial progress of the country goner-
ally. s t
Among the newspaper men who 'loft
Abileno this morning were Editor' L
B. Shook and J. G. JackEon of the Abl
lene Reporter Col. Louis J. Wortham
and Amon G. Carter of the Fort "Woi th
Star C. D. Relmers and Editor A W.

CONDITIONS
An Intellgent calm and successful
citizen of Abilene takes what wo con-
sider tho most sensible view ofthe con
ditlon as they exist! and of thofinnn-
cial fright which Is gradually fading
away. The article reads as follows!
The scare is rapidly passing away.
After all it was nothing more than an
attempt to corner the currency by a
fow New1 York Wall street bankers.
Tho general prosperity of tho country
and the abundant crops of the South
and the west proved tho time unoppor-
tuno to Intimidate tho people. The
President of tho United States
and by tho way the most resourceful
chief executive onr country has ever
had has authorized tho issuance of a
States Government n6tes to be issued
and sold. He hag said that the princi-
pal portion of this will bo placed In
Southern and western hanks to aid In
the handling of tho crops. With the
zeal of a patriot President Roosevelt
advises the people not to hoard their
money but to keep it In the banks
where it will aid the business of the
country and-contrlbute to the prosper-
ity of all. Tho President In a written
statement assures the whole nation
that tho National Banks of the country
are as safe and sound as ever and ho
backs his judgment by the statement
that he had directed sixty millions to
bo placed on deposit with three bankc
and would soon put ono hundred mil-
lion moro with them. As was timely
said by the president tho people
should resume their usual pursuits
and continue to do the prosperousbus-
Incss with which they were blessed. It
this is done within forty eight hours
the boisterous storm Ihat originated
la Wall streqt wll pass down to his-
tory and be forgot.
The advise of the President reads
like the gospel to wu Here in Abileno
there are tea thowwad people. Not one
has 6t a dollar by rMaoa of the trou-
ble among the bankers oa Wall street.
Nofono need even suffer on account of
that trouble. Stop for a moment and
ask each of you of yourself what 'is
the matter. Not one will say that It
is apytning real but on the contrary
fear hysteria is what has troubled
each 'of ypu.
There is In Taylor county alone more
than a million dollars of gold woith
In cotton. This is being marketed g;ad
Ually by the farmers and in course of
a fow months will all bo sol J. The
prosperity that will come to tho farm
er to tho merchant to the laborer frpm
a million new money turned. loose In
Taylor county cab hardly be overesti-
mated. That much now money will
make this country more nroanorous
than ever before Lands that will pro
duce Buch great wealth aB that are bet
ter than gold mines Tho lands of this
section are really worth moro acre foi
acre than tho corn lands oft Illinois
for the'Ablleno country lands produce
a crop that draws tho real gold from
all parts of the civilized world while
corn is not an export crop.
The season pf preparation- for tho
coming grain crop lB close at hand
and soon the farmers of the country
will be busy at their work. In this
and in the hope of a bountiful crop for
tho coming year they will bo happy.
But a word to the towns people and w
are through.
Wasteful extravagances we do not
advocate hut false economies we warn
you against Labor Is the most valua
ble asset of the city. If unemployed
it stagnates all trade it affects the
value .pf all tho merchants wares.
There are more people to do business
In Abilene tbann. tho past greater
reasons then ever1 before why people
should be attracted to this section of
the state to grow cotton and absolute
ly Bo reason why business methods
along the old successful lines should
not be resumed by the country at
large.
MONTGOMERYAL. Nov. 19. The
senate passed the ' prohibition bill
which has been In discussion by a vote
o'f 32 to 2. The amendment will go
Into effect January 1 1909 Tho opin-
ions of members were unanimously
In favor of the bill.
The Senate chamber was n place of
life and dolor. When two carloads of
Mobile women came to the city today
to fight against the bill for prohibition
they found the lobby and galleries
packed with delegations from -Montgomery
Selma and Birmingham It
was a plan toicrowd the Mobile women
out Tho pro delegation had ribbons
pinned on its members so the scene
presented a spectacular view. Children
were kept from schools to help fill up
the lobbies and thus aid tho causo of
prohibition.
