OVER THE STATE
Clipped From Exchanges)

Montgomery.-Mr. l. Pollak and asso-
ciates have purchased the Capital Street
Railroad lines, and just as soon as posi-
ble the lines will be improved and ex>
tended. As soon as these improvements
are completed dummy engines will be
purchased in a number sufficient to at
once put on a schedule which will give a
service of not more than than ten min
utes between cars, and as the extensions
are completed, additional dummy en-.
gines will be bought and placed in sere
vice. The overhead wires, put up for
the electric street car system will be ta-
ken down, which work it is thought will
be taken down, which work it is thought
will be commenced within week or ten
days.
Mr.. Pollak, who is at the head OF this
movement, is one of the most enterpris-
ing and public spirited citizens Of Mont
gon.er, and man who has been uni
formly successful in the pnblic works
which he has undertaken. That he will
enter heart and soul into the new enter
prise is an assurance of its unqualified
success.
A movement was inaugurated here to-
day to establish 1925, 900 cotton factory.
The movement is set on foot by some of
Montgomery most enterprising citizens.
and there is little doubt but that they
will succeed in the undertaking. The
plan is to take subscriptions from men OF
small means, allowing each to pay SO
much per week on the stock for which
they subscribe. Say, man OF limited
means wishes to take 1000 worth of
stock, he can pay $5, $40, SIS or $40 per
week till it has been entirely paid
for. 1t is said this plan has worked well
in number Of instances in other cities,
and the prime movers in the proposed
enterprise anticipate but little trouble in
raising the $l25.0O0.
Tuscumb bia.-Mr. Fulton, proprietor of
the Alexander House, got himself into
quite predicament last Monday. AS is
customary with all hotel men he had
written to the gentlemen composing the
juries requesting them to stop at his
house while in the city. Cn the grand
Jury was negro by the name OF Jacob
Greenhill, his color being omitted when
the jury was published. Mr.. Fulton
wrote to him as to the others, and yes
terday the son of fam applied for board
and lodging. OF course he was refused
The negro thinks he was badly treated,
but Mr.. Fulton doesn't think so, neither
do the white Jurors.
Montgomery-Since the legislature
adjourned the auditor has received many
letters from all parts of the state seeking
information about the act making an
appropriation for manned and disabled
confederate soldiers and widows of con~
federate soldiers who have not since re-
married. In view of this fact the follow
ing is given out for publication from this
department. "Blank applications for
the relief of manned confederate soldiers
and the widows of confederate soldiers,
are in the hands of the public printer
and will be forwarded to the several
probate Judges of the state in few
days."
Alexander-The gold fever is now at
its zenith, and several of our citizens
seem to have symptoms of the disease.
A syndicate of northern and southern
capitalists, with capital stock OF ST.
900, 900, has been recently organized
here. and they propose in the near fu-
ture to develop our hidden wealth. Col.
Moore's mines, only few miles from
town, have proved to be very rich.
