BEGIN ON DEPOT
MR. HOFFMAN OF MOBILE SECURES
 AN ORDER.
Railroad Commission Requires SOuth- ern Railway to Begin Building Station fn Gulf City Within
 Forty Days.

An order to the Southern Railway was yesterday made by the Alabama Railroad Commission to begin the con- struction of the new passenger depot in Mobile within the next forty days.
 This was in the nature of a supple mentary order to that some time ago issued by the Commission that the work on the depot should begin within eight months after the passage of the act of the Legislature of 1905 which authorized the structure.
 Hon. F. O. Hoffman of Mobile, rep resentative in the Legislature, who in- troduced the bill authorizing the new depot, appeared before the Commission yesterday and in lengthy address charged the Southern Railway with dilatory tactics in proceeding with the building of the depot and said that If the railway officials were allowed by the Commission to continue these methods the Improvements would nev- CT be secured.
 Associate Commissioner W. T. Sam ders at first made a motion to refer the matter to Attorney General Mas sey Wilson for action, as he said he believed the power of the Commission had been exhausted in the original or- der.
 There was some objection to the mo-
  Hoffman who expressed a preference for the supplementary order. The mo- ton was therefore withdrawn by Com- missioner Sanders and the order to be- gin the work of constructing the de- pot within forty days was made by unanimous vote of the Commission.
 Failing to comply with the order of the Commission, the Southern Railway is liable to be indicted by a Mobile fHz. oRaI to may institute mandamus proceedings to compel compliance with It's order.
 While the matter was before the Commission a telegram was received from J. s.. B. Thompson, General Su- perintendent of the Southern Railway stating that his own indisposition and serious illness in his family prevented him from responding to the citation of the Commission to appear yesterday and make reply as to delay In build ing the Mobile depot. MT, Thompson said, however that he would be pres- ent without fail if the Commission should fix a date at the end of this week or during next week. He said further that the delay had been due to unsettled features of lighting and heating the depot. MT. Hoffman insisted that the mat ter should not be postponed and sharp " criticised the couISe oh MI AhO1P- son and his associates in delaying matter of so much importance to the welfare of the Mobile public. The Commission after listening to the address of Mir. Hoffman voted to make the order hurrying forward the depot construction.
 Plans which have been already sub mitted to, and approved by the Rail- road Commission, provide for a pas senger station in Mobile to cost $25O.- 900.

"the results of operation from in- state traffic have not yielded a fair and just return, although in some of the said States the volume of through or interstate traffic. and the revenue derived therefrom. Is greater in pro- portion to the volume of intra-state traffic, and the revenue derived there- from than is the case in the State of Alabama, and 1t is impossible. because of the geographical location of lines of the Southern Railway Company in Ala bama, to route via said lines a greater proportion of It's interstate traffic than Is now being so routed.

They were the subject of review by this hon. orable Commission less than two years ago. asa part of It's whole tarin, which was pronounced reasonable. The use of fertilizer along its lines has stead lily increased and there Is no general complaint on the part of shippers or consumers respecting said rates' ana we respectfully submit that there Is no justification for a reduction In the fer tiIizer rates of this company In the State of Alabama"
 MT. Green CrOss-ExamIned.
 Replying to a question Of Associate Commissioner Sanders. MT Green salo that inc capital stock of the Southern Railway consisted of s12O,OOo,00O of nreferred and $6O,OOO.O00 of common stock. There has never been any earnings on the common stock not even sufficient gross earnings to pay interest on the bonds.
 PresidentComer reminded the witness that the Southern railway stock was placed on the market at seven and was seen to rise to thirty-six, according to the best of his information. He was also informed that the total capi- talization of the system is s32o.OOO.OOo: Asked by Commissioner Sanders 1T the Southern Railway asN 1t now is' could be reproduced at the rate of SSe.- 900 per mile. MT. Green said that ne did no tbeiieve 1t could.

 Mir. Green was allowed to leaye the stand here and Hon. F. O. Hoffman of Mobile was given the floor In be- half of the citizens, the Mayor and Board of Aldermen and the Commer- cial Club of Mobile, petitioning the Commission to put into effect imme- diately an order, some time ago is- sued, for the construction of a new depot In that city.
 General Superintendent J. s. B. Thompson on account of Illness in the family, according to Mir. Green of the Southern Railway, could not be pres- ent in the morning but he expected him in time for the afternoon session.
 Upon motion of Commissioner San- ders. the Commission adjourned until o'clock in the afternoon.

REPORTED SUICIDE.
Frank l.. Smith Said to Have Taken
 His Own Life.

Scale. April 3.-(Special. )-Frank l.. Smith, a well known citizen ofUchee, sixteen miles northwest of Scale, died very suddenly at his home yesterday afternoon. It Is reported that he com mitted suicide by taking poison. He had been drinking very heavily for several days prior to his death and at times complained of having pains in his heart. Some of his friends think that paralysis of the heart was the cause of his death. MT. Smith was indicted by the grand jury last week on the charge of public drunkenness and his family thinks this was the cause of his committing suicide. MT. Smith Is survived by ten children.
 The criminal week of Circuit Court opened here today with Judge s. l.. Brewer of Tuskegee on the bench. The docket Is light for this week. The murder case of William Vaughn, a ne- gro, is set for Wednesday.

New Strength
 Increased Vigor.

It is easy to get into run down state and stay that way and forget what real health is.
 We never appreciate real health when we have it.
 After feeling all run down, nervous and tired out month after month, most people simply hope against hope that they will feel better soon.
 Instead of trying to do something to help themselves feel better, they depend on hope.
 The only way to really help yourself is to get new strength and increased vigor
 Win back your right to feel strong and well every day.
 A well person ought to wake up with laugh every morning.
 Health, vigor, determination, courage-in fact, all that makes life worth living depends upon healthy supply of Nerve Force.
 Paine's Celery Compound builds tip the supply of Nerve Force it revives the old force and makes new. It not only does this, but by strengthening the nerves that control all the organs of the body it cures the real cause of headaches, neuralgia. rheumatism malaria, and the many diseases com ing from run down condition of the nerves.
 Gertrude Jenkins allowed herself to gradually sink into nervous prostration, one of the final states that tired, abused nerves reach. Her ex- perience is valuable to all those who feel run down" tired out" and are not helping them selves to get back to real health.

RAILROAD MEN
 CATECHIzED


 (COntinued from Page Seven.) suits of operation of this company, as shown above, do not justify any reduc- tion in its rates in the State of Ala | bama.
 Southern and Fertilizers.
 It may be true that the rates charg ed by the Southern Railway Company over It's lines in other States on fer tilizer are lower than its scale of fer tilizer rates within the State of Ala oama, but the rates applied in other States. under widely different commer- ciaI and transportation conditions, are not a proper criterion upon which to determine the equity of rates in Ala bama. The Commission in this State, as well as in all other States, where rates are made by or are subject to the ap- proval of Rilroad Commissions, have recognized the justice of making diff ferent rates to meet different condi- tions on the different railroads within a State. Indeed, this Is not only true as to the different roads, but, in some cases, different scales of rates have been authorized by Railroad Commis- sions over different parts of the same railroad within the same State The justice of this principle is apparent and has not been questioned. It would, therefore, be a manifest injustice to use the rates of one State to determine the reasonableness of those in another State. It would, furthermore. be ille- gal to use the rates of another State to determine the reasonableness of rates within the State of Alabama"
 In evidence of this, MT. Green quoted from a decision of the Supreme Court of the United States as to The reasonableness or unreasonableness of rates prescribed by State for the transportation of persons and property wholly within It's limits.

NEGRO BOY DROWNED.
Body of Sidney Dale Was Not RecSw-
 cred.

cred.
 Parties searched yesterday without avail for the body of Sidney Dale, a negro boy who was drowned in the Alabama River Sunday morning. The boy was a son of E. M. Dale, well known negro, and night registry clerk at the postoffice. He went to the river about o'clock, it Is said. with some of his friends to take a swim. The point along the river bank where the boys were in swimming was what is commonly called the Chimney P1ace.s Whether the unfortunate boy was seized with cramps after he got into the water or for what reason he lost control of himself will never be known. His friends tried to assist him but they were frightened and he sank before their eyes.
 They hurriedly carried the news to Dale's family. and parties at once be- gan a search for the body
 The muddy waters of the Alabama yearly claim their quota of victims in the embrace of its treacherous whirl- ing currents and young Dale is the first to be drowned this spring.
 The search for the body of the drowned boy will be continued with renewed vigor today.

Nervousness, nervous prostration," nerve decline, that rundown, worn-out feeling,- nine times in ten are simply the result of preju- dice, carelessness or ignorance
 Prof. Phelps, of Dartmouth University, was the first physician to enunciate the principle which to-day is recognized as one of the foundations of the science of medicine,-the great enlightening truth, that the nerve system rules all the body's health.
 He sought and found the food that builds up and restores the nerves-hs celery formula, which has become famous as Paine's Celery Compound --the celebrated nerve vitalizer and tonic.
 Paines Celery Compound is giving New Nerve Force to thousands every day by feeding and re- storing the nerves to their full strength. It never fails to build up the run down system to full, ruddy health.
 Two days treatment proves its marvellous power. It braces you up. You feel better at once.
 Sick headache, palpitation dizziness, and heart burn are usually relieved by single dose of Paine's Celery Compound.
 For over IS years Paine's Celery Compound has been the most universally used vitalizer and tonic in the world.
 Remember this,-Paine's Celery Compound is the prescription of one of the most famous physi- clans this country has ever known, and all repu- table Druggists sell and recommend it.
