A TURF OUTCAST
 IS REINSTATED
DEFENSE WHICH MADE VIM. BRANNON AN OUTCAST WAS SUPPoSED BRINGING" OF THE NOTED olD HORSE TANNER.

Cincinnati, November H-William Brannon, who for nearly a decade has suffered ostracism from the American turf, has been reinstated at Latonia.
 The offense which made Brannon an outcast was the supposed ringing of the noted old horse Tanner under the name of Polk BadSet at Latonia on which he cleaned up something like sSO- GOO.
 Brannon trained the horse on the pike outside of Latonia, and nobody knew anything about him until after the coup had been made. Polk Badget opened at 40 to l and was backed down to to 5. Jockey Keith had the mount and tried to make a close finish, but the horse got his head and finished away out in front.
 Brannon never claimed the purse. They cashed the tickets and walked the horse to stable in this city and that night he was hidden behind some freight in a baggage car, painted to prevent rec ognition by the officials and shipped di- rect to Jersey City. The trail grew so hot that he had scarcely reached the stable there when he was taken out and shipped to Hopkinsville. Tenn.
 The horse is dead also the jockey who rode him. Judge Perkins said he thought Brannon had suffered punishment enough and gave him reinstatement in the na- ture of a pardon.

SHEFFIELD LEADS
 IN GAR TRAFFIC
DURING OCTOBER THE SOUTHERN RAILWAY HANDLED MORE CARS AT SHEFFIELD THAN AT BiR- MlNGHAM

Sheffield, November 17.-(Specfal) 1.-The official report of loaded cars handled by the Southern Railway during the month of October makes most fiattering show ing for Sheffield. In fact Sheffield leads all other points in Alabama.
 The following figures show the number of loaded cars handled by the Southern Railway during the month of October at the principal cities located on their line: Sheffield, 2542 cars; Birmingham, 2374 cars; Florence, 1O76 cars; Huntsville, 423 cars; Decatur, 157 cars; Tuscumbia, 8 cars. It Is believed by the citizens of this place that in view of the large amount of revenue that it derives from Sheffield, that at an early date the South ern Railway will decide to run it's through passenger trains through here, as it would necessitate detour from its pres ent main line of only about mile.
 The cotton compress firm of w. H. Nance & Co.,, has been dissolved and the entire interest in the plant has been purchased by MT. Stockton Cooke. The business will be continued by MT. Cooke, who expects to handle the usual large amount of cotton at this place.
