FUTURE OF B., s. & N. 0.
EXTENSION OF THE ROAD TO
 MERIDIAN SUGGESTED.
Will Be Thirty Miles Shorter Than the Southern's Line-A Railroad Man Talks of the Sys-
 tem's Possibilities.
Advertiser Bureau.

Selma, NOV. z, l5Vi'
 Mir. c. E. Woolf of Bevill, Choctaw County, was a visitor to Selma touay. The little place at which he lives is just ,,ine miles beyond the Bigbee River ana is on a direct line with Myrtlewood and Meridian. Myrtlewood is the present terminus of the Birmingham, Selma ana New Orleans Railroad and Is only TOUT miles this side of the Tom Blgpee. MT. Noolf informs your correspondent that if is only forty-five or fifty miles rom the river to Meridian, and as the country. is practically a piney woods sectloh' the road can be run through there at com naratively small cost for grading and trestling For a long distance after leaving the Bigbee the route would De m a creek, where the grading would be practically nothing, in comparison 10 a billy section. MT. Woolf says that the neople of his section of Choctaw are very hopeful that the road will be constructed and that at an early day.
 In connection with the extension of the birmingham, Selma and New Orleans RaiIroad from Myrtlewod to Meridian, . well informed Jfaflroad man said:"
 .It is only a question of time when the line is extended on through to Meri- dian. It will be at least thirty miles near Meridian by the Birmingham, Selma and New Orleans route than by the Southern, which has to make tremend- ous elbow and go up toward York. before if starts into Meridian. The -Birming- ham. Selma and New Orleans from here to Meridian is practically an air line. and that will give 1t a great advantage, for thirty miles in the hauling of freights and passengers is no little saving. For in stance, it will make the fare from here to Meridian 90 cents less, to say nothing Of tbe hour or hour and quarter saved Tn running that extra thirty miles, ana In this day of push and rush thirty miles make big difference.
 ..Then again it is well known iact that inc Louisville and Nashville owns a large slice of the stock of the western of Alabama. The extension of the Blrm- ineham. Selma and New Orleans means thousands of dollars annually in trelghts to he hauled over that line. The hItie birmingham, Selma and New orleans IS going to be a paying line from the very start, but when the fifty mile gap oe- tween Myrtlewood and Meridian IS filled in and it gets it's part of the sugar and molasses traffic from New Orleans, the oat hauling from Texas the corn ana meat business from the west, ana the i've stock trade from St. Louis. ,.,,.,.
 There Is no telling what possloliitleS there are in store for the little Blrming- ham. Selma and New Orleans peheVe that in less than couple of years Selma will be on a through line of railway con meeting the great southwest with the At lantic coast, through New Orleans.

Must be Supplemented by Feed
Rich in Protein.
j g Haney of the Kansas ex-
pertinent station in answer to an
inquiry as to the value of sorghum
as food for COWS says in the
Breeders Gazette:
The sweet varieties of sorghum,
which I presume are meant, con-
stitute some of the principal feeds
for milk COWS. So far as I am in
formed and from a long expert
ence in feeding sorghum to all
kinds of stock I know of nothing
harmful in the result. 1t is very
starchy, contains a very small
amount of protein-the part of the
faed that is essential to the cow
in producing either milk or a
good. strong calf-and 80 needs to
be fed with some rich food like
bran, ollmeal or soy beans. If
alfalfa is fed as part of the rough
ness, much better results are OBJ
tanned.
The bad effects of feeding cane
or sorghum to milk COWS are caus-
ed by what it lacks rather than
what it contains. Good, bright
cane bay that was cut when the
seed was in the soft dough stage
is an excellent feed for dairy COWS.
1t has a laxative tendency, is easi-
ly digested and cooling in it's eff.
fects but it must be supplemented
by some feed rich in protein
Sorghum hay contains only "a
per cent of digestible protein in
each 100 pounds and has a
nutritive ratio of 1.1S, while
alfalfa contains 106 per cent of
digestlble protein in each 100
pounds and has nutritive ratio
of 1.3S. Some have held that it
is only the seed that caused trou-

I was first advised by our
family physician in Charleston to
use TEETL1NA with our baby when
she was but very young infant,
as q preventive of collie and to
warm AMI to sweeten the stomach.
Later it was useful in teething
troubles, and it's effect has been
found to be 30 very beneficial and
80 free from ths dangers that are
consequent upon the use of drugs
and soothing syrups that we have
come to regard it, afteruse with
three children, as one of the ne.
cessities when there is a new baby
in the house and until the teething
troubles are, and we take pleasure
in recommending it to our friends
instead of the horrid stuff that 30
many people use to keep their
babies quiet.

THE AMERICAN SOLDIER.
What Gen Wilson, who was with
him in China, Says About his
Qualities.

New York, May 1.-Gen James
II. Wilson addressed the Loyal
Legion tonight, devoting his time
to anecdotes and recollections OF
the Pekin campaign. He pald1a
high tribute to the United States
troods.
"We were not very large con-
.tingent," he said, "but we we're
easily in the front rank among
the allies. The Russian COM
mander of artillery told Gen
Chaffee that he took off his hat to
our artillery. AS for our infantry
we'll, let me recall, the.
story of the storming of the walls
of Pekin, when the 18th infatry,
commanded by old Daggett, found
itself under the shadow of the
wall. A private went to the
colonel and said as he looked
critically at the batt.ements above
him, 1T can scale that wall, Colo
nell"
Gall right said Daggett, go
ahead
"He went around and scaled the
wall. Then he hauled the colonel
up and soon had the two compa-
MES on the wall. They found
there number of Russians who
had got to the top during the
night, but we're afraid to go out to
a sally port in the immediate vi
cinity and cloar it. Daggett and
his men went through the sally
port and let it Riley and his guns.
Then it was all over.
"We must not be vain glorious
about the American soldier. He
isn't a great disciplinarian. His
collar does not always fit just
right and his Logging may lack
a few loops of being fastened. But.
when it comes to fighting he gets
there. It's my private opinion,
that the American soldier is the
best killer Oh the top of the earth."
