When Special Officers Payne and Gra- ham made steps to take charge of the machines and remove them to the clty as his property, so the machines were loaded in a wagon and were brought to the city without a word of protest.

 amounts up to S. that one has a chance to win if the coin is dropped into the lucky slot. Within the cabinet is music box which plays whenever q coin Is dropped into any Of the slots on top of the ca abinet.
 The police contend that the machine Is gaming device and that the music rendered by the machine does not re- move 1t from the law providing against slot machines. ...:@-
 The section of the State Code cited by the police in connection with the confiscation of the machine is 4S0S, which relates to gaming and lottery.

OBSERVED THE FOURTH
MONTGOMERY TOOK A REST FROM
 BUSINESS CARES.
Bu.iuess Houses and Public Buildings Were Closed in the Afternoon, and Thousands of People
 PatrGuized Parks.

The Fourth of July, Independence
 Day, Was observed in Montgomery more
 generally thdn in many years.
 While there was nc formal celebra-
 ton of the holiday, Montgomery closed it's business ir the afternoon and the people gave themselves over to pleas ure-seeking. The departments at the
 State Capitol were closed. Sunday hours were observed at the postofhce, the offices in the Federal building were shut few officials were about the court house or City Hall, and nearly every place of business downtown, barring sa- looms, restaurants and drug stores was closed.
 The street railways hauled full cars from the early morning hours, until long after midnight. Pickett Springs and Electric Park drew the white people | and Washington Park and Riverside Parks were filled with negroes. At Electric Park public barbecue was given in the afternoon and at night fireworks illuminated the lake. Not withstanding the litigation in which 1t is involved. the Montgomery Traction Company operated its yellow cars to Electric Park The cars did not run on the park property, but were stopped at the property line. Some effort was made by tho park people to place ob- stacles in the way of passengers hauled by the yellow cars from entering the park but when an appeal was made by the passengers to the management of the park the obstacles were removed. At Pickett Springs an orchestra dis coursed music in the pavilion through out the day and many persons went there and induIyed in dancing. large crowd patronized the Pickett Springs theatre last night.
 In Chisholms Grove, near Pickett Springs, a neighborhocd barbecue was given which was attended by about 200 persons residing In that section and by
 invited guests.
 I Altogether it was Guiet holiday, but | 1t was enjoyed nevertheless by those who took short rest from business cares.

 That the national holiday was ob- served in Selma one could tell by the deserted appearance of the streets. There was hardly any one on the streets all day long, and the few stores that |did stay open transacted no business at all Most of Selma was in the woous enjoylng the day, and tomorrow Will feel the better for the day or pleasure | The sun shone brightly in the morn ing and the day looked as If 1t would he an ideal one.

The fiction that makes the best of 1t for poor Stay-at Home has been worn to the bone, Nobody believes him when he expatiates on the pleasure it is to escape the trials of country life by remaining in the city with its bath room attachments. It's all nonsense, for even the country Is not devoid of these necessities nowadays. If Stay at-Home could he would, But, this be- ing a work-a day world. he must grub along through the summer time with beggarly two weeks vacation to sustain his courage. and if he can be the philosopher through 1t all he de- serves a brandnew halo as we'll as his degree.

TO RUN FROM ANDALuSIA TO PEN
 SACOLA, FLA.
lts Promoters are Well Known Busi- ness Men Of PensacOIa-Mny Mean Great Things for
 Deep Water City.

A numbcr of prominent citizens of Pensacola who propose to link the thriving little Alabama city of Anda- lusla with the deep water port of Florida, Pensacola, yesterday filed the papers incorporating the Pensacola and Northeastern Railroad Company. ..-
 The incorporaters of the road are F. C. Brent. c. w. Lamar, c. M. Coving- ton, John g Avery and s. B, Milligan, all of whom are well known business men of Pensacola and most of whom arc engaged In the lumber or turpen- tine business. The corporation papers are evidently those of the preliminary organization. The papers which were filed in CovinEton County places the capital stock of the company ot 5000. It is the declared purpose of the incor- porators to build the road from Pensa- cola to Andnlusia, 'crossing the Ala bama and Florida line at point in northeastern course to the town of An dalusia"
 The new road may mean great things for Pensacola. Al present the Louis roads which enter the Deep Water city. Many Of 1t spublic spirited citizens believe that it is greatly to the interest of Pensacola to have a new and com petlng road to help tho city along to the high position 1t should occupy when the Panama canal is completed.
 Several propositions for new roads for Pensacoia have been discussed and entertained At least two of these dealt with the bringing of an addi- tional road from Andalusia to Pen sacola. In addition to the proposed road which has Just been iH0rporated it hsa been believed for some e~time that the Central of Georgia has entertained line From Andalusig 10 Pensacola.
 The road incorporatel yesterday it is believed has no connection with the pro ject of the Central Ii is either an jndepcndent road or one that may or may not have some connection with the Huntsville and Nashville. The gentle men who have formed the new, company declare that they are an indepenccnt corporation and have no connection with the Louisville and Nashville.

 AnxM rn EaNn 0ur.
HOW TO FIND OUT.

It is the function of the kidneys to filter and purify the blood which is constantly passing through them.
 When the kidneys are out of order the other organs are affected immediately and you may have symptoms of heart trouble .stomach and liver trouble, and other ai.- cents, which are all owing to the kidneys being weak and out of order.
 If you are sick FO!Sy's Kidney | Cure will strengthen and build up tho worn out tissues of the kidneys so they will act properly and the symptoms of weakness, heart, stomach and liver trouble will disappear and you will be | restored to perfect health.
 How 10 Tell If You Have Kidney Trouble.
 You can easily determine if your kid. neys are out of order by setting aside for 24 hours bottle of the urine passed upon arising. If upon examination it is cloudy or milky or has brick-dust sed- iment or small particles float about in it, your kidneys are diseased and Foaey's Kidney Cure should be taken at once.
 FOley's Kidney Cure is pleasant to take and acts directly upon the parts affected and you begin to feel better at once.
 It corrects slight disorders in few days and it has cured many obstinate cases after other treatment had failed.
