RAILROAD INCORPORATED

Montgomery, January 22.-(Special)-
The demand for lumber from the Panama
canal interests has had the effect of put
ting the business in this section of the
south in the best of shape. 1t is said that
the Alger-Sullfvan interests in Alabama
and Florida are almost If not entirely
out of the interior market because of
contracts ON the isthmus. The demand has
picked up so rapidly that there is no
lumber to be had in from forty to sixty
days in this part of the country. Several
dealers and brokers from the north and
east have been in the city lately and had
a rather hard time to get what they were
looking for.
Road is Incorporated.
The certificate of the Incorporation of
the Pensacola, Alabama and Western
Railroad company has been filed with
the Alabama Secretary of State. The
capital stock is given at $4,000, with the
headquarters at Brewton. The business
of the company, as stated by the papers.
is to build, maintain and operate a rail-
road for the transportation of freight
and passengers and the acquisition of all
property real and personal, and the do
ing of all acts which may be necessary or
convenient for the said building, MAIN
tenance or operation. 1t is also set out
that the road is to be between Pensa-
cola, Fla, and Memphis, Tenn. In the
state of Alabama from a point on the
boundary line of Alabama and Florida, in
the county of Escambia, Ala northwest
erly to point on the boundary line of
Alabama and Mississippi in Pickens
county Ala. The incorporators are j. e.
Stillman, w. S. Keyser, I. C. Watson, j.
j. Sullivan and Daniel Gillies
crenshaw County Worried.
There is much concern at Luverne, the
county seat of Crenshaw, over the report
that one of the county officers has left
and that his accounts tangled up. 1t
Is not said by any one that his books
are short with either the county or the
state, but his office is in such shape
as to make the administration of justice
difficult. The man in charge of his Of
flee has given 1t out that he will not
conduct the business longer, and this
brings the case to an issue in some way.
The attention of the capitol officials has
been called to the conditions and those
in authority have been instructed in their
duty. One hears that one of the state ex-
aminers will be sent to Crenshaw at once
to have look over the books, and after
his report the whole matter VIII be made
public.
