CARROLLTON.
Railroad Fever Running High and Wood Full of Hands-Talk of Building
 Up Towns-Stock Dying.

Carrollton, July 2.-(Special Corre- spondence.)-The contractors on the rail- road through Pickens are pushing the work and by the end of October the cars will be runninp through this county to Tuscaloosa for the purposes of the con- struction of the road and its branches on the line from that point to Montgomery, Every camp in Pickens embraces the laborers, superintendents, etc., of a cer- tain part of line of. the road, and you will never find single laborer from the farms employed at work on the railroad. consequently the crops have not suffered in this section.
 Forkville. once famous in this county as a town of considerable importance, now existing in name only, will get a depot. The old Masonic lodge and South Dr. T. J. Hancock lives near the place. The depot will be near South Carolina church, where Hernando De Soto camped for some time and left many relics of his army. He was resting his warriors at that point for an invasion of the territory of the Chickasaws. He afterwa rds had fight with them at Adabimo. then in the territory now embraced in the state of Mississippi. It Is claimed that Hernando De Soto was defeated and left for the Mississippi river after the battle. The people in the neighborhood of Forkville desire to perpctuate the name of De Sota in designating the station at that point.

 The station at Gardo appears to have been the first to take in the situation. A darkey, Rufe Lineberger who owned twenty acres of available lots stated he would be satisfied with $12.50 per acre and his bargain was taken by some par ties in Northport, who contemplate nov ing to the place.
 It lis believed that the Mobile and Ohio will build a branch to Carrollton, and the people of this place and the section most benefited will contribute literally to the enterprise.

:. EDUCATIONAL DAY
At. the. Chautauqua- Blazed With
 College Colors-Turkey and the a..s. 'Fsess Armenian Cause

Talladega, Ala, July 2-(Special Cor respondence. .)--Yesterday Educational Day''-.was observed with great eclat at the assembly hall. Large crowds were present at each entertainment; the entire city blazed with college colors; the uni form of the cadet was to be seen on every side. The citizens also turned out en masse. The fact that "Educational Day" has been the greatest day ofs the Chau- tauqua up to the present time, should be considered a fair omen for the future Of Alabama
 At 10 a. m. Grambs' orchestra gave a concert of an hours duration, playing "Krinolin Two-Step," '"rhe Alumni March, Broadway Types" Snap Shots" College Overture" and "Fascina- tion March,"
 At II a. m. the speakers of the day were introduced. The subject of the debate was, Resolved, That Christians Should Make War on Turkey in the Armenian Cause" The first gentleman introduced was MT. J. B. Tidwell, of Howard college, whose impassioned eloquence set the hearts of his hearers on fire. He argued for the affirmative of the question, be- cause he believed that the nations are responsible for the existing relations be- tween the Turks and the Armenians; for the sake of civilization and progress; for the sake of humanity; and for the sake of Christs Kingdom. 1t was evident that his conscience dictated his words and that his plea for bleeding Armenia came from his heart.
 He was followed by MT. Erie Pettus, of the State university, who made the opening speech for the negative side. The grand old institution to which every Alabamian is loyal had in MT. Pettus a
Birmingham state herald., 1897-07-03

fit representative; he seemed to bring the conservatism of the university with him. He was cool and self-pos sessei to a re- markable degree. He was of the opinion that war would accomplish exactly what It would be trying to fcresta1, viz, Che destruction of the Armentans that the in- terference of any nation in the matter would involve Europe in another eort!- mental war whose results would be dis astrous beyond description, ending in the death of more European Chr.sti3ns than thTe are Armenian Christians. The diff nculties of transportation of armies ard Turkeys ability to cope with the best army in Europe were fully cons der. d. MT Pettus was of the opinion that the only correct solution of tho eastern prob lem is to Christianize the Turks--te cen quer not by might. not by power, but by the spirit of Christianity.
 Mir. H. C. Memmnger, of Auburn, spoke nexs for the affirmative. He as- serted that it was not only wrong, but rdly for the notions of the earth to withhold their aid. He held up Greece for the worlds e~7ufs tion. Nr Memmir ger has all the CT allfcations ofithe rSad orator-wosce, manner. reasoning abili y.
Birmingham state herald., 1897-07-03

His peroratfon was exceedingly eloquent.
 The last sps aker was MT. J. A. Baxley, of the Southern university, who was on the side of the negative. He viewed the matter in a clear, common sense way. His conclusions were logical, his English good and his oratory excellent.
 At 4 p. m, Grambs' orchestra gave a very enjoyable concert.
 Much to ehe pleasure of the audience, Miss Hosmsr contributed to the pro- gramme a mandolin solo.
 The decision of the judgss was then male known and the beautiful gold med- als awarded to the gentlemen of the neg ative side by pr. Baskerville.

CANADA's NEW TARIFF.
A Resolution of FraternaI RecOg-
milton i'm Parliament.

London April 27.-In the House of Com
mons to-day, Sir Charles f. II. Vincent,
conservative and fair trader, member of
the Central division of Sheffield, announc-
ed that he would move the following reso-
luton a month hence:
''The house expresses grateful and fra
ternal recognition to the government and
people of the Dominion of Canada for the
generous fiscal changes in favor of Brit
ish trade and labor announced on Friday
by the parliament of Ottawa and already
in force. and hopes this first step towards
a commercial federation of the empire will
be followed by Australia, South Africa and
the other colonies"
The secretary of state for the colonies,
Mr.. Chamberlain, replying said the gov
ernment cordially appreciated the friend
ly spirit shown by the tariff action to Can
ada; but" he added, Il understand the
proposals do not depend upon any altera-
tion of the system of free trade establish
ed in the United Kingdom"
A. j. Balfour, the government leader in
the House and first lord of the treasury,
said il was dangerous to admit a resolu-
ton to protect manufactures without also
protecting husbandry. Besides, he added.
much could be said in favor of Great
Britain's simple fiscal system. while the
question OF pensions was premature.
The motion of Sir Charles f. Howard
Vincent was eventually negatived with

chaL NJ. D. Blackshear, B. F. Bryant
Green H Roberts and D. A. White.
DR.. Izlar of the Plant system hospital
was introduced as a witness by the state
and testified concerning an examination
that he made on the wounds on the per
son of Charles w. Wilson, deceased, dur
ing the coroner's investigation. He said
that the wound through the region of the
heart produced death. and that the other
wound in the back or shoulder did not
cause death DR.. 1. L. Dedge next tes-
titled for the prosecution. His testimony
was to the effect that Williams fired first
and Wilson fired the second. and third
shots. He did not say who fired the
fourth shot.
Arthur Miles, colored bell boy of the
Southern hotel, testified in about the same
words that he used at the coroner's in
vestigation.
Conductor w. II. Evans of the Plant
system testified for the defense. He saw
Mr.. Wilson start down the hallway to-
ward the dining room and heard Mr..
Williams say wait minute, Charlie,
l want to speak to you" Witness then
went to the water-cooler and as he was
filing glass he looked through the hall
into the dining room He saw Mr.. Will
son with a revolver in his hand. and Mr.
Williams was near him. Witness next
saw Wilson fire, and this was the first
shot he heard or saw fred. The shooting
was begun at the foot of the stairs, in the
hallway near the ladies entrance This
and the other testimony of the witness
corroborated his testimony at the inquest
Mr.. Charles E. Murphy was put on the
stand by the defense. He was shown a
diagram of the hallway and the dining
room and the office, which was being used
by the attorneys in the examination of
witnesses. Mr.. Murphy said he made the

diagram. He was a contracting architect
and understood making diagrams. His
testimony as to location and distances and
other particulars concerning the diagram
was admitted with the diagram as evil
dence. The court at D. m, took a re-
cess until $50 this morning.
The business of the Southern hotel was
looked after during the evening by Mr..
Williams as usual.
Hon. w. G. Brantley conducted the ex-
animation of witnesses for the prosecution
and Col. w. NJ. Toomer examined for
the defense.
This morning Col. j. c. Reynolds, for
the defense, testified as to distances in
dicated by the diagram, and was question:
ed concerning other matters.
Prof. +. A. Pound testified that the sun
was obscured by a cloud at the time Of
the killing, and the hallway was dark like
a tunnel Witness was in his room which
opened into the hallway, next to the din
ing-room. He distinctly heard four shots
Capt. L. Johnson, proprietor of the
Southern hotel. said if he was sitting in
the dining-rooIn in front of the hallway
and was looking for a man coming through
the hall door of the office, he might recog-
nize him.
The direct examination of Miss Hudson
A. Young, a young lady of Gainesville,
brought out the fact that she knew Mr.
and Mrs. Williams and c. w. Wilson, and
that Mrs Williams and Mr.. Wilson were
good friends.
At this juncture the jury was sent out
and the judge announced that the court
did not see proper to admit irrelevant tes-
timony. He finally ruled that the de-
fense proceed with the testimony as indi-
Gated by the last question, and that the
prosecution shall offer any and all testi-
mony on that line in rebuttal that they
might have.
Counsel for the defendant asked the
court to allow the defense TO withdraw the
proposition for the present. The final prop
ostion of the defense was that the witness
was competent to prove that Wilson had

WESTERN PASSENGER BUSINESS.
Sub-COmmittees Named by the Exec
utive Committee.

Chicago H., April H.-The executive
committee of the Western Passenger As
sociation has formed several sub-commit-
tees for the better disposition of the work
that will come before it. One of these
committees has for its province the mis-
sionary work necessary to induce those
lines which have not yet signed the agree
ment TO do so at once. 1t is especially de-
sired that all these roads shall be enrolled
before May /.
Another committee has in charge the
question of commissions and it will work
to see that the payment of all excessive
commissions is stopped and that the pay
ment of commissions of any nature be not
made to ticket broker after the first Of
next month.
The roads in the association consider the
question Of commission payments the most
important thing with which they have at
present 20 deal. for they are of the opin-
ion that as long as the commission rates
are as high as at present there is small
chance for the maintenance of regular
tariff rates.
