TunStall Sustained in His Contest For
 Solicitor. NEW CONSTRUCTION
 OF CONSTITUTION UniOntOWn and FaunSdale DispensarieS Upheld. Court Outlines Principles as tc Manage ment of Rural Schools and sus- tGinx Validity of the Geneva
 Inferior Court.

Before adjourning yesterday until the November term, the Supreme Court or Alabama handed down eighty-eight opinions and ruled on seventy-four az plications, the most important Of the opinions being an affirmance or the Hanna -Tunstall case from the Circuit Court of Calhoun County. by which Wiley C. Tunstall. Jr., holds the office of Solicitor of the City Court of An niston, from which E. H. Hanna sought 10 oust him.
 This case was important, because 1t involved practically the same legal questions as those involved in the con test of the Jefferson County consoli- dated court act and the Lusk act re- districting the judicial circuits of Ala bama. In affirming the Calhoun Coun.y case the court merely gave more lib eral construction to Section 106 of the new Constitution. which requires that certain acts shall be advertised befor" presentation to the Legislature for pas- sage.
 Busy Day of Court.
 Justices of tho Supreme Court, the Clerk and other attaches were Kept husy yesterday. It was the last day of the term and the Justices came near breaking all previous records in the number of decisions handed out.

TRACTION LINE WINS|
YELLOW CARS WILL BE LIN INTO
 ELECTRIC PARK.
Supreme Court Renders Decree Dis- solving Injunction Granted by Chancellor Parks to Mont
 romery Street Railway.

The Supreme Court of Alabama yes- terday settled for all time the contro- versy between the Montgomery Trac- tion Company and the Montgomery Street Railway as to the control of Electric Park when it made an order. the effect of which is to allow the Traction Company to lay It's trl;ks and operate cars into the disputed terri tory.
 The Montgomery Street Railway. when tho Traction Company began to build tracks into Electric Park, se- cured an injunction from Chancellor w. L. Parks. restraining the Trac- tion Company from entering the park. The Traction Company then moved to dissolve the injunction setting out that the lease of the park to tho Street Railway contained Q reservation that other car line were not to be excluded from the park. Chancellor Parks overruled this motion and an appeal was taken to the Supreme Court. Early in this week counsel for the Traction Company made a motion be- fore the Supreme Court to advance the case on tho docket so that a decision could be had at the present term. The motion was granted and the appeal was submitted Wednesday.
 The higher court yesterday reversed the decree of Chancellor Parks over ruling the motion to dissolve the in- Junction and rendered . decree dis solving the injunction.
 Justices Tyson and Dowdell dis sented from the views of majority of the court.
 No opinion was written in the case but 1t is understood that an opinion is to be written at some future time by Chief Justice Mcclellan.
 An official of the Tractioon Company said yesterday that yellow cars of his company would be running into Eiec- tric Park early in next week.

W. c. Sanford. the aged white man. who shot and killed James A. Achors' locomotive engineer, in North Mont gomery on May 24, 1904. and was con- victed and sentenced to ten years In the penitentiary. was yesterday grant, | ed a new trial by the Supreme Court of Alabama.
 The opinion reversing and remand ing the Sanford case was written by MT. Justice Simpson, who held that Judge William H. Thomas of the City Court of Montgomery. before whom Sanford was tried. erred in excluding certain testimony and in refusing to quested by defendants counsel. On these two errors of the lower court the case was reversed and remanded. Sanford, who has been in the Mont gomery County jail since he was con- victed on December IS, may be re- leased on bond today. He will prob ably be tried the second time at the July term of the City Court which will begin next Monday.
 The news of the reversal of his case
 was taken to Sanford in his cell at the
 County jail by his counsel yesterday
 afternoon. The old man was over ,oyed. ss Ss8e40

Advantages of a Small Farm.

FL Paso Herald.
1t is classic among farmers, the
story of the man who inherited
500 acres and a mortgage. Day
and night, winter and summer, he
! toiled, and managed to pay the
interest on his debts. Himself
and family, unable to buy what
they needed to maintain the place
or keep up a comfortable standard
of living, became almost discourag
ed. Along came a good angel, to
whom the farmer told his story.
Sell all but ten acres for what it
will bring, pay your debts. and
farm the ten acres for all they are
worth, - said the mentor. The
farmer took the advice, planted
rhubarb on his ten acres, and al
most before he realized it he was
free from the load of debt, had
money in the bank and happiness
in his heart for his fanily"s sake.
The ten-acre farm in the old
country may not be all that it is
cracked up to be in the story.
But i'll the irrigated west ten acres
are enough to support a family and
accumulate a surplus for luXuries
or savings. Under the reclama-
ton act individual holdings are
limited to 100 acres, and some land
interests at the Portland congress
had the shamelessness to condemn
the law because Of this limitation.
Yet the whole purpose of the law
would be defeated if instead of
home on the land" for the great
est possible number of freeholders,
great tracts should be owned and
operated by nonresident pro-
prietoIs. The man who buys a
small farm under the reclamation
project will IN most cases go on
the land and farm it himself. He
will not let it lie idle, nor will he
block progress by using it uE-
economically. The small farm is
the key to the success of the
national reclamation movement.

morning

Ny profession IS supreme in
the sick room, said a practicing
physician of this city, but often
it has to put up with a great deal
of badgering in the courtroom.
One day friend of mine was
called as a witness in a case in
which one man had hit another
over the head with an iron bar with
disastrous results. Counsel for the
defense nagged and BARRED the
doctor, finally saying: Doctor, did
I understand you to say that when
you reached the plaintiff his brains
were escaping through the fracture
in his skull?'
Yes, sir.
And do you mean to tell me
doctor, that a man can continue to
live after he has lost part of his
brains?'
"Oh, yes, certainly, said the
doctor; I've known men to live
and practice law without any brains
at all'"-New York Press.
