Travel of ErnigrantM.

Notice has been taken all over the country of the large number of emt- grants from the Northern and North western States which is coming into the South and Southeast, says The Washington Banner. Sixty-three let- ters were received in one day recently by the industrial and immigration de- partment of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway from Northern farmers who wanted to know some- thing of the resources and advantages of the South. The average is about forty letters per day. The local immi- grafton office of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, in charge Of MT. J. G. Cisco, receives nearly as many. During the first week in February the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway received 2SO letters of this kind. The Tennessee Central has also recently taken up this work.
 The railroads are doing a great work in setting forth to the prospective im- migrant the cheapness of the land, la- bor and living expenses, and are doing more than possibly any other agency in bringing into Tennessee, Northern Alabama. Mississippi and other States 8 desirable class of citizens, who are as- sisting in the building up of the South in every line of industry and in the development of her resources.
 Railroad Earnings.
 Railroad earnings last year, as given in Dun's Weekly Review, showed much irregularity. In some of the early and some of the closing months of tho year there was an increase compared with the corresponding months of the preceding year, but in the intervening months considerable losses appear, which on some of the larger systems were quite heavy, showing quite a de- crease in the movement of important commodities. The losses were mainly in particular lines. largely in grain. iron and steel, coal and other such leading products. There was a very marked improvement in the closing months of the year, but preliminary reports so far received for January in- dloate that this improvement is scarce ly maintained. For December, the last month for which anything like complete returns have been received, total gross of all leading systems for which monthly statistics are published, are $126, ,007, an increase of 6.3 per cent compared with December, 1903, For November, practically the same roads reported a gain of S.8 per cent, but for October the increase was only 27 per cent. With the exception of November the report of the closing month of the year was the best of the year. All classes of roads included in the Decem- Der report show larger earnings than in December, 1903, and there were mo- table gains on the anthracite coal roads and Central Western systems, though Eastern roads reporting, Southern and Southwestern show similar increases.

SEVERAL APPLICATIONS FOR RE-
 HEARINGS WE'RE DECIDED.
Frank Adams and Taylor Smith, Jeff fersOn County Negroes, Con- vieted of Murder, VIII
 Have New Trials.

The Alabama Supreme Court yes terday morning handed down seven de- cisions and disposed of eleven appllca- tions for rehearings.
 Frank Adams, a negro, who had en- loved a reversal of the judgment or the Jefferson County Criminal court sentencing him to death by an or der of the Supreme Court yesterday, will have his appeal reheard. He had been convicted of murdering Dave Lee. a fellow convict in Pratt's mines in 1903.
 The Supreme Court set aside its judgment of reversal in this case and setting aside the submission restored the cause to the docket.
 Taylor Smith. a negro of Bessemer. has reason to be gratifed for new trial in the Jefferson County Crlminal Court which was ordered In rehear- ing of his case yesterday.

Conniff was rushing on him when he killed the alleged as" saiIant with a hatchet.
