1t is reported that some railroad Off
Gals passed through the county last week,
following the old survey of the Atlanta
and Alabama railroad. This road is sur
yeyed from Atlanta to Selma Ala They
said the road would be built shortly. In
{. passing through the county it will go by
or near Centralhatchee, Simpson, Ridley
and out by Roanoke. If this road is built
branch road will be built from the
nearest station to Franklin. We hope
1t will be built 1t will be good for the
county, especially for the section through
which 1T will go-Franklin News and

PREPARING FOR HEAVY TRAVEL.
All the railroads entering this city are
preparing for heavy travel on the occa-
sion of the coming Mardi Gras festivi-
ties In this city, Mobile and New Or
leans. In former years the roads learned
by experience that timely action on SINH
lar occasions was not wasted but if in
dications point right they will have to
make extraordinary arrangements in or
der to handle all the business into Biz
mngham alone. Many people, over-en-
thusiastic as to the number of people who
will visit Birmingham during the coming
carnival have estimated the attendance
from Alabama alone at $4,000, but con-
servative estimates place the figures at
two-thirds that amount But it must
not be forgotten that thpra other
states in which people reside who will
be attracted here by the promised treat,
and when the day of reckoning comes it
will be found that the State Herald is not
far wrong in saying that fully 10000 peo-
pie will enter our gates during the two
days Of rejoicing over the coming of his
majesty, Rex Vulcan H.

sixty years ago in an humble cottage in

For absolute reliability in routing out
obstinate disorders from the system there
is nothing that at all resembles or APP

Such evidences of an unhealthy condi-

IA sound mind in a sound body has
been the constant theme of this great
phlanthropist.
Because of its power of streng thening
and restoring the nerves and brain
Paine's celery compound is used today
in many such families as that of Mr..
Murphy, where no other remedy would be
thought of for moment.
Mr.. Murphy writes to the Boston Globe
"Paine's celery compound has been used
in my family with good effect 1t is a
splendid remedy"

of remedies was no mere theorist. Prof.

Women Need Looking Into.

Washington, Feb. IS. - Representative
Cummings of New York introduced res
olution today requesting the secretary of
state to give the house of representatives
any information he may have concerning
the incident of the stripping of three
ladies, passengers on board the United
States mail steamer Olivette, in the har-
Dor of Havana by Spanish soldiers and
detectives. The resolution recited that the
alleged occurrence was described in the
New York papers. The resolution was re-
ferred to the committee on foreign affairs
and report is expected next week.
Cummings said as to the resolution: IF
an English woman or an English vessel
had been stripped by Spanish officials, as
it has been alleged that an American wo-
man was stripped, within As hours Moro
| castle would come down, or some apology
would be made for it. doubt even if Jn-
pan would have stood it. Furthermore,
| If the American government stands it, In
| my opinion, 1t indicates total lack of
| manhood and the keenest sympathy with
savage inhumanity."

VIII Hold Them Responsible for the
Outcome.

Constantinople, Feb. 13-There Is dis
position in official circles here to hold the
powers responsible for anything that may
happen in Crete. The sultan has been
prevailed upon by ambassadors to re-
frain from sending reinforcements to
Crete, and has also been assured that the
powers have decided not to permit the
landing of Greek troops in Crete. A
council of ministers, 1t Is semi officially
announced, has decided that Turkey will
remain pacific, pending the efforts Of the
powers to prevent direct Greek interven-
ton in Crete, but 1t Is further stated II
the powers are unsuccessful the Turkish
government will be compelled to begin
military operations on the Thessalian
frontier, or in other words, Turkey will
declare war against Greece and prompt
.ly invade that country. The decision
of the porte has been officially commun-
icated to different embassies. There Is
no doubt that the willingness of the sui
tan to apparently bow to the will of the
powers in the present crisis was largely
due to the impoverished state of the Tur.
kish treasury.
The situation is grave, and as usual
the sultan Is calmly reckoning on coming
out ahead by trusting to the jealousie!
of the powers and advent of the unex
pected.

emotional center. These diseases can not
be reached by ordinary means, but must
be addressed through mental impressions

was the source of trouble with the social
state, and continued:
1t Is unwise to be blind to the dam
gers OF such situation. Men of steady
minds and strong hearts, must, with
temperance and charity in the exercise
OF right reason, find the true path which
leads to peace and safety. There are
real mistakes to be corrected. We have
violated natural laws which govern in
the realm of economics with the same
force and power as they do in the pbvs-
