 The cotton mill continues to run on full time day and night, and it is thought enough seed is on hand to keep it going until we'll into the summer.
 The leap year ball given by the young ladies to their male friends Dec. 3l was well attended and very en- joyable evening was spent.

CREATE NEW OFFICE
MONTGOMERY MAY HAVE INSPECT
 OR OF BUILDINGS.
Question of Providing for Municipal Scrutiny of Down Town S:ruc- lures May y Come Up at
 Council Meeting.

The creation of the office of build ing inspector of the City of Montgom- cry may be discussed at the regular semi-monthly meeting of the City Council tonight.
 Such a step has been under the con- sideration of prominent members of the aldermanic organization and 1t is not improbable that a resolution to have such an office created will be in troducd.
 Owing to the recent frequency of fires 1t is considered advisable by some of the aldermen to throw an additional safeguard around the business section of the city and by constructing build- ings on fire-proof principles to avoid all possibilities of a Jacksonville or Baltimore episode.
 At present the plan is to have only the buildings within the fire limits subject to this inspection. but later on to extend the work of the newly created official.
 Another matter of importance that will come before the Council is the or dinance creating the office of assistant fire chief.
 Alderman Sullivan, 1t IS understood will hurl another bomb in the direc- tion of the police department. It is said that the attack on Chief Gerald will be based on the removal of F. w. Jackson from his position as special officer. It will be remembered that in a raid of a poker game several weeks ago MT. Jackson was one of the arrest cd persons He was subsequently, ac- quilted of charge of gaming by Re- corder Arlington on the plea that the game was being played in a private bedroom which the poiice had no right to enter. Alderman Sullivan's point is that If the courts held MT. Jackson not guilty, he should be held not guilty by the chief of police and be placed back on the force.
 Alderman Roemer will probably make another effort to get his ordi- nance to repeal the Jackson amend ment to the gambling ordinance out of the hands of the commit tee, where it seems to be pigeon-holed. He will also bring up numerous mat ters of detail before the Streets Com mittee.
 Alderman Kohn of the Finance Com mittee will. as usual. have big budget to report and Alderman Forbes will call up several matters in refer ence to waterworks extension. The meeting will be called to order at 7:30 o'clock.

General Immigration and Industrial
 Agent. Louisville and Nashville
 Railroad in the Railway. World.
 Within the limits of a brief article, it is difficult to write upon the immi grafton to the South, especially that part of the Central Southland served by, the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. The territory so served stretches from the Ohio Valley. on the north, to the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, on the south. a thousand miles away; the sys- tenn reaches its broad arm to the west to include St. Louis and Memphis on the Mississippi, and to the east serves the famed blue grass region. and the timber and coal sections of east Tennessee. Trending South the most fertile parts of Kentucky and Tennessee are traversed while Alabama, with it's tremendous mineral deposits, is streaked with the main and branch lines of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. West Florida and south Mississippi as well as south Louisiana are tributary territory, the southern terminals including New Or leans, Mobile and Pensacola, the road thus serving a wide and fertile empire in it's mileage.
 The Louisville and Nashville Railroad finds attractions to offer immigrants, not only in the soft and pleasant cli- mate, in the mild and open winters and the attractive opportunities generally prevailing, but also specific advantages, now rapidly multiplying, to include in it's presentation; strawberry culture. de- veloped within the past two years wherein the high acre returns were at the rate of $T39.20 per acre. the average maintained being $416.95; peach grow ing. to which wide areas are now being rapidly and profitably devoted; beef cattle. examples of the established breeds of which are now in increasing evidence on every hand, and sugar cane growing on the "piney woods" land of the Gulf Coast fringe, where as high as 957 gallons have been harvested from a single acre, illustrating the possibili- ties for widening the sugar producing territory of the United States. The single Finnish colony of the South is on the line of the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad, while numerous German. Swedish and Scandinavian settlements are in prosperous development. Be- tween Mobile and New Orleans is the great oyster canning industry of the South, exceeding in volume that of Baltimore and rapidly extending. In- deed, for many years a considerable part of the Maryland brands have been drawn from this section, the oyster beds of the Gulf coast along the Mississippi and Louisiana borders affording an in exhaustible supply

THE DODGE-MORsE MIx-UP.
A Nasty Case Which Involves Many
 People,


 New York Special.
 District Attorney Jerome has dis closed the identity of the widow of the Pop Dodge case-the widow who, ac- cording to current gossip, is supposed to have put up the thousands of dol lars which first induced Dodge to swear that he had not been properly served in the divorce proceedings, and who is presumed to nave put up all the money Pop spent in his efforts to escape eXtradition from Texas and. incidentally. to drink himself to death.
 She is Mrs. William B. Gelshenen. widow of the man who was President of the Garfield National Bank, in New York. and director in the Consoli- dated Ice Company at the time of his death. Morse was an associate of his in the ice company, and succeeded him as head of the Garfield bank. Morse has managed his estate and the widow and he have been on very friendly terms.
 From the day the scandal began to be aired. the story has been current that Charles Morse has sought to free himself from his marriage with Mrs. Dodge because he wished to marry again. A divorce would not do. be- cause the Catholic church does not rec ognize divorce. and the marriage in view was with a Catholic.
 Annullment of marriage illegally contracted Is. however, quite different. If he was never legally married to Mrs. Dodge-if she had lawful hus- band living when he went through the ceremony with her, the annullment of her marriage would be no ban in the eyes of the church. This is alleged to have been the incentive of prospective matrimony with Morse that prompted Mrs. Gelshenen's interest. financial and otherwise. in proving the Dodge di- vorce invalid.
 For some time, ever since Dodge got back to New York and told his story to Jerome, the New York officials have been endeavOring to subpoena this wo- man. and make her tell the grand jury

RAILROADS ARE INVITING
 CITIZENS TO THE SOUTH

Louisville and Nashville Railroad ter ritory, and are mentioned merely to give the epitome of the resources, op- portunities and attractions included in the great empire served by this sys- tenn.
 Until about 1890. what immigration there had been from the agricultural classes of the Northern and North western States, were confined very largely to those seeking a milder eli mat on account of impaired health, and outside of the South itself, there was but slight knowledge of the many ad- vantages the South possessed over oth- CT sections. with the enjoyable condi tons of climate, seasons, crops and soils known to the temperate zone, and the attractive conditions existing for general farming, stock raising, fruit and vegetable growing. The railroads knew of the vast resources and advan- tages to the stock raiser, fruit and vegetable grower-the productiveness of the soil; and systematically began to disseminate that knowledge. until little by little. the stream of immigration southward grew; so the experimental days, if such they may be called, van ished, and year by year Is witnessing an increase and incoming of the better class of immigration.
 Numerous reasons could be given for this southward movement: the wonder fully fertile and productive soil: the abundance of fresh, pure water supply, the short and mild winters, the delight fully pleasant summers; and the great variety of crops-often following each other, on the same land. to the extent of two. three and even four in a single year.
 The trend of immigration has been now the West is largely populated, and the South is at the very threshold of an enormous immigration movement. all ready well begun; there can be no check to the tide of Southern immfgra- tion, or even computing, approximately, the proportions to which 1t shall have attained with the next half decade. Immigration Problems of Southern
 Roads.
 II is to be borne in mind, that the di- recting of immigration to new coun- try such as the West has been for tho past fifty years, is an entirely different matter from influencing and infinitely more arduous to accomplish such re- suits, with regard to a country already settled, whose advantages are not known, and about which there have for generations existed erroneous views. As a consequence, the Southern rail- roads have had to work out their prob- lens along wholly new, and entirely different lines from those used in Vest ern States.
