A NEW PASSENGER DEPOT.
BOARD OF TRADE TAKES UP NATTER
WITH CENTRAL RAILROAD.
Active Efforts to Secure Better Pas
senuer Accommodations for Dawson
Have Been Begun.

The depot question has at last oeeh
raised by Dawsons board of trade
The president Of the board, Mr.. w.
n. Davis, has written to the general
SUPERINTENDENT of the road, Mr.. l. ,.
Noise. laying the matter before him
and urging that better passenger
station be given Dawson. AS yet the
railroad official has not replied to Mr..
Davis communication, but an answer
is expected in few days.
No prediction can be made as to the
tenor of the railroads letter in reply,
but it is hoped that it will be favorable
and that some promise will be held
out to give the town depot compatible
with its size aud Importance.
The need of new passenger station
in Dawson is an urgent one. The
present building is very unattractlVe
in appearance and is decidedly one OF
the poorest depots on the entire road
Dawson is admittedly one OF the best
railroad points in the state, and the
request for better station is an alto
gether reasonable one.
The board of trade will make de-
termined effort to secure be tier accom-
modations, and there is every reason
TO believe that the fair-minded officials
of the Central will see fit to comply
with the sentiment here after the mat
ter has been fully presented to tn EN-.

MALTA STORY ALL A FAKE
Report Of a Funeral With Corpse OF
Weapons Is Without Foundation.
Similar Stories Elsewhere.

Several DAYS ago The News was
informed of reported funeral in a
little town of Terrell county in which
il was stated that the corpse OF a
supposed negro had arrived there by
express, and that the weight OF the
coffin aroused suspicion in the minds
of white citizens who, on invesGlga-
ton, found that it was filled with
rifles instead of dead body. 1t ap-
peared to be an excellent story, and a
News reporter set about to run 1t
down. He did this and found it to be
fake, started by who nobody knows,
and accordingly no mention OF 1t was
made in these columns. The people OF
the little town in which the sensational
occurrence was reported to have
taken place had not even heard OF it.
On the following day a newspaper OF
q nearby town printed a sensational
article telling of similar occurrence,
and We infer that the scene OF the
fairy tale was the same as that which
had been told to The News. AT any
rate, our contemporary afterwards
failed to find anything to 81 bstantiate
it's publication.
THE paper takes no stock whatever
in these sensational black malta
stories. They are generally, we be-
lieve, the offspring OF some fertile
imagination and have no foundation OF
truth. Their circulation ia calculated
to do much towards destroying the
confidence generally existing between
the two races. and to arouse feelings
OF maglignancY and strife when there
is no ground for them.
The sooner newspapers quit publish
inc such rot the better of they and
this section will be.

SOFTCORE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.

TO PLAY AT OAK PARK
Supreme Court Dismisses Appeal of Mr.
Robertson VINO Hoped to Trnns-
fer Games TO Athletic
Park.

The Supreme Court OF Alabama yes
terday dismissed the appeals in the
baseball cases In which w. T. Robert
son was plaintiff and the Montgomery
Baseball Association and w. H Rag
land were defendants.
This action OF the Supreme Court as
sures the playing of Southern League
baseball at Highland Oval for the re-
mainder of the season. Mr.. Robertson
was stockholder in the Montgomery
Baseball Association under whose d.
rection the sport was played last sea-
SON at Athletic Park near Pickett
Springs.
In this association Mr.. Ragland
owned about three-fourths of the
stock. The association had entered
into a contract with the Montgomery
Traction Company that baseball
should be played at Athletic Park for
three years.
The entire stock Of the association
was sold last March to Mr.. Ragland
who presented certified check for
$500 for the stock to the Board of
Directors. Mr.. Robertson, as a minor
ity stockholder. attacked this sale. He
claimed in the Chancery Court of
Montgomery that the sale was merely
an effort to evade the contract which
the association had made with the
Traction Company. He claimed further
that his interests as a stakeholder had
been seriously injured by the sale. He
made the further allegation that the
proceeds of last seasons business had
been handled by Mr.. Ragland and that
the stockholders had never received a
settlement. He asked as minority
stakeholder, holding four shares of the
stock. valued at SIS a share, that the
defendants be enjoined from operating
the Southern League team and that
they be restrained from playing except
at Athletic Park.
temporary injunction was granted
by the chancellor.
The bill praying for the Injunction
was some time later so amended that
1t made several other stockholders
parties to the suit.
The chancellor held that the amend
nient of the bill after the legal time
for such amendment had expired. was
in itself dissolution OF the injunction.
Mr.. Robertson appealed the case to
the Supreme Court. In the higher court
he went further and asked for a man
damus to compel the Chancellor to re-
store the Injunction and to compel the
defendants to give an adequate super
sedeas bond. Both cases were dismiss
ed by the higher court at yesterdays
session.
In the first case. the Injunction case,
the court held that the decree of the
chancellor Diminishing the bill for want
of equity was well made and unless
amended 1t was not decree dismiss
ing bill which would support an ap-
peal. The court held further that the
order of the chancellor in reference
to the fling of and amending OF the
bill was not a decree Diminishing the
injunction. The conclusion OF the court
was that 1t had no authority to review
the action OF the chancellor and the
appeal was therefore dismissed.
The same order was taken for the
same reason in the petition by Mr..
Robertson for q mandamus.

COURTHOUSE OF JACKSON.
Supreme Court Deales Motion In the
Controversy.

Controversy.
The Court of County Commissioner
of Jackson County, yesterday failed Ia
secure a dismissal of the appeal before
the Supreme Court of the case in which
| j. w Tally and other citizens of Jack
son County are endeavoring to prevent
the Commissioners from erecting a
new court house.
The motion OF the attorneys for the
Commissioners tn dismiss the appeal
for want of equity was denied by the
Court The case is the result of a
strong local fight in Jackson County.
The County Commissioners recently
contracted with Dabson and Bynum, a
contracting firm for the erection OF a
new court house at Scottsboro. The
court house was to be built on plans
drawn and submitted by B. B. Smith
Of Montgomery. After the contract
had been entered into and arrange
ments made for the drawing of the
warrants j w. Tally and other citi-
zens contested the contract. They
claimed that $35, 900 which the Commits
sioners had agreed to pay for the new
court house, was exorbitant. excessive
and out of proportion.
The County Commissioners won a
victory In the lower court. The case
will some time in the future be decid-
ed by the Supreme Court.
