Wilcox Has D,sapDearea.

James Wilcox. an employe at the Alabama Great Southern Railroad shops in this city. whose home is in Woodlawn mysteriously disappeared January 3, and has not been heard of since.
 It Is stated that he left his home in the best of spirits on the morning of the day named to go to his work at the shops. Upon investigation. however. 1t was learned that he didn't arrive at the plae" that morning at all and his whereabouts ever since have been surrounded in mystery.
 It Is thought that he has met with foul play.
 He has wife and little girl living at Woodlawn and they are very much wrought up over the affair. It ap- pears that Wilcox was a man of very domestic habits and was very fond of his wife and little child. He was de- voted to his home in every way. He has been in the employ of the Alabama Great Southern Railroad since last September. and prior to that time was employed by the Southern Railway MT. Wilcox is well known among rail- road men in this district and he has been seen by no one since the morning he SO mysteriously disappeared. It is said that he is d man of temperate habits and good character, which makes his relatives think the more that he has been roughly dealt with The county authorities have been asked to assist in ascertaining the whereabouts of Wilcox.
 Coroner Paris will make a thorough investigation of the case.

NEW HOTEL WILL HELP
TOURISTS ARE TO RE ATTRACTED
 TO MONTGOMERY.
Suggested That Business Men Should Arrange for Stop Over Tickets Other News of the Local
 Railroads.

The completion of the New Exchange Hotel will be a great thing for Mont gomery in many ways, one of the prin- cipal ones being that this city will get its share of the tourist business that flows southward every winter.
 A large part of the Florida, New Or leans and California business passes through Montgomery. The word passes" is used in its literal sense. No inducements are made these tour ists to stop over here. their knowledge of Montgomery is confined to the ex- ercise In walking up and down the platforms at the union railway sta tion.
 With a modern hotel and the right kind of advertising a big per centage Of these tourists can be induced to stop in Montgomery Historically Montgomery Is interesting to the aver age Northerner, all of them being eager to know something of the town where the Southern Confectionery was launched. To get them to stop, how ever, there is one thing that has to ba done-the railroads must insert 8 stop over clause in their tickets read ing through Montgomery.
 If the business men of Montgomery will take the matter up and push 1t before the Southeastern and other pas senger associations, these stop over privileges can be secured, and the ben eft that will accrue financially and otherwise can be scarcely estimated.

 The warrant charges assault to mur- der. Bowman. it will be remembered, had some words with negro on the car of which he was conductor about his fare and the negro refused to pay it until he got ready.

He was brought to the city on the car and his wounds were dressed by surgeon before he was removed to his home, : Plum Street, Highland Park.
 The injury. though not considered dangerous. is extremely painful and it Is expected the young man will be confined to his home for some time as the result of it. He was reported yes tcrday as improved.

A gentleman who has just returned from Florida stated at the union rail- way station last night that he thought 1t certain that the oranges that were on the trees when the recent blizzard came were ruined. His estimate is that fully two-flfths of the orange crop was on the trees and that that much of the crop is therefore a total loss. He does not think that the trees are injured for at this season of the year they are dormant. but the veEe- table and pine apple crop Is seriously damageu.
