The Best Investment.

From the Philadelphia Record.
 There Is but one legitimate invest ment that could possibly yield such comfortable returns as were promised by the late lamented Storey Cotton company-and that is advertising. Money used for the purchase of space in a popular daily newspaper that gets into the homes anu makes itself in- dispensable to it's readers-always as suming that the space is not deilper- ately wasted after it is bough Will turn itself over with surprising rapid ity. Publicity is not get-rlcn-qulck device, but it is a means of getting rich as quickly as may be witnoh' taking risks.

 May Build Viaduct.
 The movement for a viaduct bridge over the railroad tracks that intervene be- tween the city proper and the South side has taken definite shape in the ap- pointment by the municipal boards of committee to confer with the heads of the railroads entering here with view of arranging an equitable cooperation be- tween the municipality and the railroads for the construction of an overhead bridge for vehicles, street railway and foot passage, the estimated cost of which will approximate s4O,O00 The railroad au- thorities have signifed their willingness to unite with the city in this important undertaking, and no doubt Is entertained that an arrangement can be made for division of the cost of the work accep- table to both parties The great increase in railroad traffic has made the crossing of the tracks near the union depot in- creasingly dangerous to a degree that makes this bridge necessity recognized by both railroad and city authorities.

ELIZA DISPENSARY
 UNCONSTITUTIONAL
SUPREME COURT HAS CITED JUDGE JACKSON OF BESSEMER TO APPEAR BEFORE THE TRi- BUNAL IN MONTGOMERY.

Montgomery, April 1s.-(SpeeiaL)-The supreme court has held that the dispen- sary at klba is operating on law that is unconstitutional This ruling was made in the case of NJ. J. Lee ct als. vs. the state of Alabama, eX rel A. V. Buck The higher tribunal agrees with the lower court.
 It was also held by the court that the law passed by the last legislature re- pealing the country court of Morgan county was invalid, because of lack of sufficient advertising and the legal status of the county returns to the acts of 1S9S-99.
 The supreme court has cited Judge Jack son of the Bessemer court to appear May Il, and show cause why he should not be disbarred from trying criminal cases against T. J. Cornwell, president of the Bessemer bank which went to the wall some time ago. The allegation made by Cornwell is that Jackson was depositor and is, therefore, not qualified to try the causes.
 The life sentence given Bessie Harri- son by the city court of Selma, for the murder of man, was affirmed and she will have to begin serving her sentence.
 One of the most important criminal cases acted upon was that of w. l.. Nor dan of Henry county. He had been given life sentence for the alleged murder of his wife. The supreme court quashes the indictment sagainst him and sends him back for a new trial The effect will be that he may be retried and it is within the province of the court next time to give him the death sentence.
