COMPLAIN OF CROSSING
RAILROADS REQUESTED TO
PLACE FLAGMEN AT ONCE.
Board of Revenue Hears Arguments
Relative to Alleged Unsafety
of the Crossing on jack
son Ferry Road.

On petition of several prominent citi-
zens the Board of Revenue of Montgom-
cry County yesterday instructed County
Attorney John G. Finley to request the
Western Railway of Alabama to make
it's crossing on the jackson ferry road
safe to the travelling public and also to
request the Western Railway of Alabama
and the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road Company to repair the same cross
ing in such a manner as would make
traffic over the road comfortable at that
point.
Fred B. Fiske of the compress COM
pany, whose plant is located beyond the
crossing, appeared before the Board and
requested that the railroad company he
compelled TO have a gate or fiagman
at the crossing. There are nine railroad
tracks at this point besides a track of
the Montgomery Street Railway and
there is almost constant switching there.
Mr.. Fiske said that recently he had
seen accidents narrowly averted and
thought that it was the duty of the Board
of Revenue to have the trouble reme-
died.
Mayor f. B. Joseph of Montgomery,
also appeared before the Board and spoke
in behalf of Mr.. Fiske's request, as did
Campbell Jones. Superintendent of
Streets.
County Attorney Finley was consulted.
He said that he did not know that the
Board had the power to compel the road

naughty New York girl who despises him
and he has left a charming cousin at
home, but no love story is developed or
rather the love story is not brought to
the customary conclusion, for on his re-
turn to America Macklin is not the man
to settle down to the arts of peace and
domestic bliss. He is a born fighter and
the only career open to him is the thank
less one of a soldier of fortune. Mr.. Davis
has been fertile in inventing incidents
of an exciting nature, and he describes
them in a way that convinces their reader
of their actually. Evidently he has
studied the ground the atmosphere and
local color are admirable. Taken all In

authors best novel thus far, and the hero
is a distinct creation of a new type. TO

achievement. Published by Charles Scrib-

GOVERNOR RETURNS
HE HAS BEEN SPEAKING IN
SOUTHEAST ALABAMA.
Was Accompanied by Congressman
Clayton-Greeted oy Large
Audiences-Taiks OF
His Trip.

Governor Jelks returned to the Capitol
Yesterday after a short campaign tour
of the wiregrass section of the STATE
during which he made several speeches..
In his trip he vas accompanied py
Hon. H. D. Clayton, Congressman from
the Third District, all of the speaking
being in Mr.. Clayton's district.
Four meetings were held. at each OF
which the Governor and Congressman
Clayton spoke. They spoke at Newton,
Elba, Enterprise and Geneva.
The Governor said yesterday that they
were greeted by magnificent audiences
at all places with the exception of Ge-
neva, but the crowd there NUMBERED
more than a hundred.
Geneva is just now suffering from
causeless smallpox scare, which to some
extent affected the attendance upon the
meeting The Governor said that the rL-
mors of the prevalence of small poX
which had been circulated to Geneva
detriment were without cause. AmdaVlts
had been made that there was only one
case of small pox in the county, ana
the patient was now convalescent. The
Governor was of the opinion that few II
any counties In the State were without
at least one case of smallpox.
In talking of his trip the Governor said
1--WE were greeted by magnificent au-
dl4nces at nearly every point The court
houses and school houses where we spok
were crowded to their capacity. Not
withstanding the large audiences we
found that there was general apathy as
to the campaign. Whatever votes are
cast, / believe will be for the Democratic
nominees as we encountered on our tril
practically no opposition to the Demo
cratic ticket"

TO INCREASE CAPACITY.
Merrimack Company Will Build 81,

| Huntsville, Oct. Is. - (SpeciaD-The

| concentration of the directors for the es-
| tabliSh N snt of another mill to cost 81 $780,
| 900 in Huntsville.
The capacity of the new addition will
| be 5000 spir dies, making the total spin
| die capacity of the plant in this city 100-
| 900.
The report of Treasurer Lowering to the
| stockholders shows that the Huntsville
mill of the company is one of the most
profitable in the South and that its loca-
ton is ideal Mr.. Lowering also showed
that to make profit on the finishin z
plants at Lowell their output must be
materially increased This was a very eff
fectual argument for the new establish
ment here. which will, when completed,
add $1,000 to 10000 pieces per week to the
supply of cloths to be worked at lowell
The present capital employed by the
Merrimack Company here ls $4,000 and
this with the new additional investment
will bring the total working capital up to
s.. $50 600. Merrimack will then become
probably the largest cotton mill village
in the South.
Many prominent Huntsville business
men hace begun to agitate the construction

bama coal fields and would be of great
benefit to the manufactures here. The
bridging the Tennessee River is recog-
nized as the greatest barrier to the enter
