LABOR WAS IN VAIN.
Railroad Cannot Use Water From Bore
 Wells.

After spending considerable money, and lot of time and labor on a pro- ject 1t must be exasperating to have 1t all thrown away.
 That is exactly what has happened on the Mobile and Montgomery division of the Louisville and Nashville Rail- road, and the officials are not in the most seraphic state of mind.
 During the long drought in October, 1t will be remembered the straits of the Mobile and Montgomery officials to keep their regular engines along the line supplied with water. Temporary pumps had to be put in at the different creeks while big tank cars filled with water were put in all the freight trains just behind the engine. Finally a large well was bored at Chapman and water in abundance WIS secured. Then another well was bored at Georgiana. and the danger of a water famine was a contingency of the past.
 After securing this magnihcient sup ply of water 1t was found that it was all so thoroughly impregnated with alkali as to corrode the boilers of the engines and render the water totally unfit for use. Fortunately. however. the recent rains have enabled all of the old tanks to furnish an abundance of water and everything is all right, until the next drought.

effort and was appreciated greatly by those who were fortunate enough to hear 1t. Immediately after the close of MT. Reagor's sermon, the Presby- tery took a recess until 2 o'clock.
 Rev. w. M. Crawford. Chairman of the Committee on Theology and Liter ature, made an excellent report of this department of endeavor during the past year. Five. young ministers were re- ported to be under the care of the Committee, all save two being now in theological seminaries and making good progress. The committee also in- troduced J. s. Bridges of Birmingham, Secretary of the Young Mems Christian Association branch in that city, and commented him to preach the Gospel The Moderator. Rev. W. T. Swain, then licensed him to preach and gave him the charge.
 Each of the candidates to the min- fstry- were given a text by the Moder- ator, and instructed to write a dis course to be submitted to the Presby- cry at it's next meeting. It was or- dered by the committee that each can- didate report to the Presbytery at its | every meeting.
 The report of the Committee on Mis- sions was read by Rev. W. A. Oyer | ton, of Green Pond, and was an inc fteresting showing of this phase of church work. It contained certain re- | commentators by which the Presby- tery Is to raise $3.000 for mission work | within the next year. The money Is to
 be secured from the various churches
 composing the Presbytery. and will be
 made in the shape of contributions to
 the general fund.
 | Prof. A. W. Hayes of Green Pond,
 submitted a strong report as chairman of the Committee on Publication. He laid great stress on the thought that
 good literature is absolutely necessary
 in the homes of the members of the
 church for ideal conditions in church work.
 The report of the Committee on Min
 isterial Relief was made by Rev. L.
 A. Reagor of Ensley, the chairman. and presented a favorable condition of af-
 The Thornton Home for Aged Ministers

 | Rev. J. w. Cheshier of Helena, chair
 man of the Committee on Sabbath Ob- | servance made an encouraging report of the work of that committee during the past term and several recommen- | dations for Sabbath observance were
 adopted by the Presbytery. Brief reports were made by all the ministers present on the condition of | their charges and were as a whole en- Icouraging.
 The Committee on Pastorates and
 Supplies reported through its chair man. Prof. A. W. Acton of Rocky
 Ridge. that 1t had provided for every
 vacant congregation in the district.
 This report was, as the case of oth- | CTS, listened to with interest by the
 members of the Presbytery.
 Rev. L. A. Reagor then read a res-
 olution of thanks to the Cumberland
 Presbyterian Church, Its pastor. Rev W. M. Crawford, and to the newspapers
 of Montgomery for the courtesy and
 hospitality shown the members of the lPresbytery during their stay here. The
 session then adjourned to meet in July at Green Pond.

A NEW RAILROAD LINE
GEORGIA, FLORIDA AND ALABAMl
 TO ENTER THIS STATE.
1t Will Traverse Russell County and President Williams Seeks I'm formation from Secre-
 tary of State.

The Georgia, Florida and Alabama Railway has now in the field a corps of engineers making preliminary sur veys in Russell County which may prove that in the extensions of the road authorised in July the State of Ala bama will be traversed for ten or twelve miles.
 If this invasion of the State is made the railroad property in Alabama will be increased some $1S0,000.
 This information was brought out in a letter to Secretary of State E. R. Me-
 David received yesterday from J. P. Williams of Savannah, Ga, President of the Georgia. Florida and Alabama Railway. The letter inquires into the necessary procedure in the way of fl- ing a deed of trust and accompanying instruments in this State.
 President Williams says that it now seems, from partial reports sent in from the field. that the extension to be made from Cuthbert, Ga, to Columbus, Ga, will cut into Alabama by crossing the Chattahoochee River. The river would be crossed at some point north or west of Omaha. Ga, cutting off what is known as "Oswicha Bend" in the river. Then the road after traversins Russell County for ten or twelve miles would recross the river into Chattahoochee County, Georgia, going thence. to the terminal at Columbus. Ga. ,se This line of the erailway would be approximately fifty-five miles. long and | is most likely to be authorized by a near meeting of the directors of the company.
 TO compare this intelIigentiy with | other proposed routes, which would not cross the Chattahoochee River. Presi- | dent Williams asks a few questions
 about the laws and taxes of Alabama
 The main query is. would the railway | company have to record in Russell | County a deed of trust made, recently to the Manhattan Trust Company oi New York in the sum of $1.100,000. l This deed of trust secures a debt oi ! the railway company represented by 6 bond issue to the amount named. The purpose of the bond issue was to build line of the road from Tallahas- | see, Fla. to Cuthbert, Ga, This lin,
 is now in operation and under the
 amended charter of the company it has the privilege to extend the line to Co
 lumbus. Ga. and a provision of the
 mortgage allows this extension to bt
 made at the rate of $f5, 900 per miles. | As to whether the railway compan,
 will be compelled to record this mort
 gage with the Probate Judge and incur
 a tax of $1.650 or IS cents on ever, $100 of the indenture price the outcome of the suits of Alabama
 and Russell County just brough against the Continental Trust Com pany of Maryland will answer the ques tion. These suits. 1t will be recalled
 were filed in the Superior Court of Bal timore and the United States Circuit Court for the District of Maryland re
 spectively last week to recover s112,50' of the trustee for taxes alleged to b,
 due on a debt of $75. .0O0.o 900 fioated b, the Seaboard Air Line.
 The cases. therefore. appear to be thu
 same so far as the mortgage taxes ar' | concerned.

The second days session of the Most worshipful Grand Lodge of A. F. and A. M. of Alabama were of the usual in- terest to the craft, there being many reports of Committees and resolutions of especial value to the order, but of little interest to the public. The Committee on Work exemplihed the work of the third degree at the morning session, which was received and adopted. At the afternoon session the annual election of officers was held and as had been anticipated and heretofore pre- dicted. the only contest was over the office of Junior Grand Warden. all the other oficers being elected by unani- nous vote. the ballot of the Lodge be- ing cast in each instance by the Sec retary.
 For Junior Grand Warden there were three ballots. the candidates voted for l being Lawrence H. Lee of Gadsden. Dan. A. Greene of Birmingham, J. B. | Lyons of opelika, and E. s. Gatchell | of Selma. there being a few scattering votes. The result was very close be- | tween Messrs. Lee and Greene on each l ballot, and on the third ballot MT. Lee lacked only one vote of election, where upon MT. Greene asked that his friends | no longer vote for him and he moved | that the vote of the Lodge be cast by | the Secretary for Mir. Lee, which, with out objection. was done, and he was declared elected Junior Warden for the next Masonic year. When Deputy Grand Master, Henry H. Matthews of Montgomery was se- lected by the unanimous vote of the ment in a few feeling and appropriate remarks, assuring the brethren ot his renewed devotion and zealous work for Masonry. The following were chosen as the Grand officers for the ensuing year: Most worshipful Grand Master. Hen- ry H. Matthews Montgomery. | Deputy Grand Master. Ben M. Jacobs Birmingham.
