1t is reported from New York that Col.
e. G. Machen of Georgia formally re-
signed from the presidency of the Bruins
wick and Birmingham on Friday and sold
out his entire interest in the line 1t has
been known for several days that he
would do So
1t is generally thought that his interest
was purchased by r. A Umstead, presi-
dent of the Mohawk Valley Steel and
Wire company. Colonel Machen Is quoted
as saying that the new owners will push
the extension of the road to birmingham.
Another extension of the Louisville and
Nashville in the vicinity of Lehigh has
been authorized 1t will leave the Lehigh
extension. going south of the property Of
the Lehigh Coal company and topping
the property which is to be developed by
Mr.. Morgan and associates. Mr.. Morgans
property lies southwest OF that of the Lee
high company.
Still another important extension in this
vicinity is said to have been approved.
The Louisville and Nashville will extend
its Lehigh branch across the Warrior
river to Coalburg and connect with the
main line at Warrior The extension
would require the building of only seven
miles of track and would be an important
one in many respects. 1t would give the
Louisville and Nashville one more loop
and would relieve the main line of the
road between Birmingham and Warrior
of much traffic that goes over 1t now.
AS. soon as the Altoona-Atlanta extern
sion is finished all freight from the north
for points in the Gadsden and Alfalfa
district could be sent via. Warrior, Lee
high, Village Springs and on up the Bir-
mingham Mineral through Altoona. This
would entirely do away with the necessity
of bringing freight from the north for
those points into Birmingham.

OFFICERS REPLY TO
MRS. ALL. CRACKER
Say Alabama National Guard
Cannot Contract a Debt
CAVALRY OWES MONEY
Officers of First Squadron Contracted
Debt and Are sponsible-lnfantry
Paid All Its Debts When
Bills Were Presented.

The letter of Mrs A. L. Craker of East
Lake to the Commercial club asking its
assistance in recovering $40 "a she claims
the Alabama National Guard owes her
caused considerable talk yesterday in
military circles.
According to officers of the Alabama
National guard, that organization does
not owe her any money. They state that
such thing as the National Guard con-
tracing a debt is impossible; that they
are made by the officers Of a regiment
and that the officers - responsible.
Officers of the Third 49, ma regiment.
National Guard. also state HNt they owe
no one, and that the money owed to
Mrs. Cral1er is by the First cavalry. which
was In encampment the latter part OF the
summer. They state that officers of the
cavalry do owe this money, and that it
will be paid this fall.
An Explanation.
The matter is explained as follows:
The quartermaster of the First cavalry
and the oommissary made the contracts
with Mrs. Craker Afterwards the APP
preparation fell short just one-half OF
what was needed and they paid 30 per
cent to all the creditors They claim
that this WAS the best they could do and
that they did 1t. When the state makes
another appropriation this fall Mrs.
Craker will be paid in full. 1t is said.
Last night Capt. Hughes b. Kennedy.
adJutant of the Third Alabama infantry.
made the following statement:
at is a reflection on Captain Walter
Gardner and myself to state that the Ala
bama National Guard owes this money.
and not specify what branch of the SER
vice contracted the debts. The Third reg
iment gave its encampment and Captain
Gardner and myself lacked s108 Of hav-
ing enough money to meet the obliga-
lions. We paid this out OF our own pock-
ct, and hold receipted bills for every
cent we spent We afterwards assessed
each of the twelve companies of the reg
iment for their portion of that amount
and received 1t.
What Caused 1t.
1.-The debt was contracted by the cav
airy. They had more men and more
horses than they expected. and their bills
were much larger than any one thought
they would be, therefore they were be-
hind in paying them. All these debts are
made personally by the officers, and the
Alabama National Guard is not respon-
sible for them, although the state appro-
priation covers them, and the state will
pay for them next fall when the appro-
priation is rnadn There Ia n hill In the
legislature at present to appropriate this
money, and it will probably be passed at
the next meeting"

GOING FOR MONEY.

Dr. Dowie makes no secret Of his ma
terialistic intentions regarding the cities
he "invades.' In an address delivered
at Zion City before starting for New
York, he said as reported by the Chi
cago News; "They say I'm going 10
New York after money You bet am.
A robber when he holds you up says,
Your money or your life.' I'm going to
say to those New Workers., i want your
money and your life I get lives for
gold and the money is Gods, therefore
they must give their money with their
lives Those members of Zion who do
not go, whether they have money or
not, will wither away and their pros
perity win cease. Their duty is TO go
to New York"
The New York papers are already
commencing to give considerable space
to the plans and schemes Of the &C.
centric preacher We believe this is a
great mistake. The free advertising
he Is given helps him. Nothing would
hurt him more than the silence OF the
press about his performances.
The following editorial utterance of
the New York World will appeal to
sensible persons as correct
"A considerable element in New York

Dowic The Grand Oyerseer will not
mind. He knows the value OF advertise
ing, Moreover, abuse affords him fresh

ROYALTY IN PARIS.

Paris has enthusiastically welcomed
Italy's King and queen to the capital of
France, Undoubtedly the French en-
terrain hopes Of some kind Of alliance
with their neighbors, as a result Of the
visit, and corresponding weakening of
the alliance between Italy, Germany,
and Austria. 1t Is known that rap
proachment between France and Great
Britain has taken place, and a similar
agreement between France and italy
would indeed be a momentous event
Statesmen speak rather unreservedly
Of such a combination. Signor Prinettl,
the former Italian minister Of foreign
affairs, has declared that, IL allied, the
two countries could exercise vast in
nuencc on the European concert. Pres
ldent Loubet is known to desire the
closest possible relations with the 9TH
er great Latin country Of Europe while
his advisers share his hopes Of bene-
hcent results to be derived from the
interchange Of royal courtesies, Conse-
quently all classes are yieing with each
other to extend a welcome OF unsur-
passed warmth TO the visitors.
Italy and France are natural allies.
The peoples are kin. Their commercial
interests are closely interviewer. Italy
owes It's emancipation and unity TO
French arms, while France Is indebted
to Italy for famous soldiers. statesmen,
and scholars.
II is not surprising, In this age OF
gathering, to note the tendencies to the
concentration of races around COM
mon centers OF interest. The slavonic,
Anglo-Saxon Latin, Greek, and other
races, all seem to be subject to force
that tends TO compactness. Gathering
has taken the place Of scattering And
this Is, after all, not very surprising.
For ultimately the human race must be
united in one brotherhood under one
divine Director The grouping in races
Is necessary preliminary to this great
union. Its all IN the program OF Prov
idence for the perfection Of the human
family.

China Is reIbrted to have appealed to

japan has It's own cause for anxiety as
20 Russian movements in Manchuria.
The possession OF that province is a
step towards the occupation Of Korea
on one pfetext or another. and that
would menace the safety Of Japan. 1t
Is asserted that Russian encroachment
on Korean territory has already begun
by the erection OF a fort on the Korean
side OF the Manchurian boundary. Ne
gotiations between Russia and japan
IN regard to Korea are In progress,
the exact nature Of which is mot known,
but one version of the Russian propo-
