COTTON RATE REDUCED
RAILROADS LOWERED IT NINE
 CENTS PER 100 POUNDS.
Reduction in Freight Applies to Bales Handled from Selma and Montgomery to Alabama
 City and Gadsden.

Through the efforts of the Alabama Railroad Commission a reduction In the freight rates for cotton has been secured from Selma and Montgomery to Ala bama City and Gadsden.
 The rate has been since 1900, 34 cents per hundred pounds and the rate has now been reduced to 25 cents per hundred pounds.
 The matter was brought to the atten- tion of the Railroad Commission by President R. A. Mitchell of the Dwight mills at Alabama City. The mills had bought a thousand bales of cotton in Selma. Upon investigation the officials of the mill found that the rate on cotton was not a low one but in their opinion excessive. It did not, it IS said, com pare with the rate that was allowed ether l cities.
 | President John V. Smith of the Rail | road Commission took the matter up witt ] the railroad officials and the new rate | was granted to take effect immediately | The rate on cotton from Selma anC | Montgomery to the points named has been as low as 24 cents, but it was in creased to S5 cents in 1900.

Hip-Pocket Reform in the South.


 The long delayed crusade against the towards and desperadoes who make ar mories of their pockets appears to have broken out simultaneously all over the South. The people who stand for law and order have reason to be glad of the fact. Our civilization has been cursed altogether too long by the prevalence of the idiotic. semi-civilized custom of men going about every day loaded with con- cealed deadly weapons and ready to do murder on the simplest provocation.
 Over in Memphis the other day one of the swelest young roysterers in the vil- lage was arraigned before the police judge for being found with a pistol hid under his coat tails. All sorts of pleas were made in his behalf but without avail and the judged popped the stiffest sort of a fine on the fellow. The newspapers are authority that the case has resulted in q wholesale unloading of hip-pockets in that community.
 Out in Texas for some years past the courts have been dealing with increasing severity with the pistol-carrying crowd and the result has been a noticeable de- crease in the number of shooting affrays and street duels to the death.
 It has never been to our credit In these Southern communities that public senti- ment for so long tolerated the exaggerat- ed idea of honor that only blood and per haps the taking of a life could satisfy insult and assault The notion that a man mist be a coward because he would not get gun and go after the life of one who had called him vile name or threatened ito push in his face has dom mated our street chivalry.
 It is a sign of distinct progress when our criminal court judges from Virginia to Texas. as by common purpose carry on this fresh crusade against the pistol toters No matter who they may be- whether high in office, rich in purse. em- inent in social station, or poor and unim- 5nrtant-every man caught armed with deadly concealed weapons should be giV- en the limit of the law in such cases made and provided

that he was not in Selma. but in the North.
 The police were notified and all of Thursday night close watch was kept on the hotels. Evans did not snow up. It was found that he left the Exchange Hotel Thursday night shortly after o'clock saying he was going to Selma. The clerk says Evans arrived at the ho- tel Wednesday night and engaged board for one week. He did not pay his bill before leaving the hotel
 Police Chief Gerald said yesterday that he believed the man was professional crook A man who answered the descrip- ton of Evans was seen Thursday going over town with a proposition to put pie lures on glass. He received several sub- scriI tons.
 Evans was we'll dressed. He wore a black suit of clothes, a white vest, and patent leather, iow-cut shoes. He has dark brown hair. is about 25 years old. and about feet 10 inches tall.

 Judge Gaston has warned the public not to accept his check.

City, who holds 2s0 shares of the pre-
 ferred stock of the trust, applied for the appointment of the receivers. and in
 his petition he declares that the company Is hopelessly insolvent.
 He goes on to say that the company has more than million barrels of salt
 in storage for which 1t can find ID mar
 ket. The chancellor empowers the com pany to continue its business until the receivers have filed bond in the sum of $50,OOO.
 In addition to Mir Strickland's affidavit there are affidavits by Frank P. Slade of Westfield, Chairman of the Executive l Board of the National Salt Company, and J. Dodson Good, President of an l Auditing company. MT. Good examined | the books. covering the period from Jan-
 uary 1 to June 90 last, and he sets forth
 the assets and liabilities of this six | months alone according to MT. Good S
 affidavits. the company's loss in its trad | ing was s174,T4
 He also examined the contract of the
 trust with the Michigan alt Company | and others by which the ,ational Salt l Company was bound to bl.y upward of | two million barrels of salt per year al 1 prices so much over tho market that the | trust lost on these contracts alone, more
 than S225,00o. These contracts are to run
 until March. 1904. and at present rates ! according to Mir Good, the company
 would lose more than 8. 800 month MT. Goods affidavit goes on to say that
 he found on the company's records, ar l account of the purchase by the company | of the stock of the United States Salt | Company of Ohio. at a cost of $6S5,546
 which amount, however. is disputed by | the National Salt Company
 In concluding his aftidavits. MT. Good says:
 Tn deponents opinion, the Nationa | Salt Company Is hopelessly nsolvent, and | the larger the business is carried on un.
 der the present contracts the small vii
 be the amount of assets available for the l creditors and stockholders of the com- | pany."
 | The charges made in the bill of com | plaint are all substantially verified by the I affidavit of Frank P. Slade of the Exec. l utive Committee.
 The capital stock is s120O0.O0O, divided into S5,000,0 900 preferred stock and $7,000, 00C l common stock. The National Company
 and the United Salt Company of Ohio, il | is declared. became competitors In busi- ness, and as consequence an agreement l was made to combine the business of | each.

felt as when, after months of living in

America when one has beer in an un-
