SUPREME COURT DECISIONS

Montgomery June ESPECIAL 1.-The
Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis
railway has won an important case in
the affirmation of the refusal of the
chancery court of Marshall county to or
der the depot now maintained at wyeth
City to Guntersville. where the bulk of
the business Is done. The road has al
ways kept its depot at the former place
and there has been a fight for several
years to have it moved over nearer the
center of population.
The first case came up to the supreme
court some three years ago and 1t was
held that the chancery court had no
right under the code at that time to or
der the removal, the contention being
that that tribunal had no jurisdiction.
The legislature at it's last session, to
meet this very case, amended the law so
as to give the chancellor authority. The
act was passed in February, 1903 The
supreme court now holds that the law
was not cured in all its defects and has
not the power within itself to have the
depot moved

PEAS, CABBAGE AND POTATOES
HAVE BEEN RAISED BY FARM.
Frs THIS SEASON.

Cuba, June s.-(Special.) CUBA. Ala. Is
known all over the state as the Bean
Town." and 1t is safe to say that no

beans or other vegetables. The following

since the season opened win give some
idea of the extent of the industry:
$1,000 bushels hampers beans.
1900 bushels hampers peas.
2200 crates cabbage.
$4,000 bushels potatoes.
The total value of the crop was nearly
$751; co. Every man, woman and child has
money from picking beans and peas.
Some of the farmers have paid their ac-
counts and have money to run them the
rest of the year, Notwithstanding the
prices have been very low. The bean
and pea patches will now be turned into
corn and cotton patches and will yield a
good crop.
The crate factory here, owned by F. A.
McElroy, furnishes all the hampers and
crates used in handling the crop, and
has enough work ahead to keep busy all
the year. Last winter between forty and
FIFTY thousand peach trees were planted.
There is great scarcity of labor here.
