The Tracy City Branch.

The Tracy Oity Branch of the
Nashville, Chattanooga & St.
Louis Railway begins at Cowan,
ascends the second step up the
Cumberland Mountains and ends
at Coalmont, n distance of TWEEN
ty-seven miles. Cowan has a
population of 544 Census 1900,)
and an altitude of 973 feet above
sea level. The little town was
made famous by Mr.. and Mrs.
w. NJ. Boucher, who for score
OF years conducted at that point
an ideal hostelry which became
known all over this country. Mr..
Boucher died some years since
and the business-like aud kind :
hearted hostess who had won the
love of all the travelling public
has since retired, leaving the ho-
tel still in good hands.
Two miles from Cowan the
road begins a steep ascent of the
mountain, over a track with such
short curves that a freight train
is formed into the letters. Not
withstandIng this steep, winding
grade the management of the
road is so perfect that an acct
dent is almost unknown. The
scenery from several views near
the summit looking over the
rich valleys and villages below is
most charming. The first stop
and near the top is at Sewanee,
with population of 40; alti-
tude, 1864 feet, and here is To-
Gated the University of the South,
the great school of the Episco-
paiians. The building and resi-
dences of the institution are
about half a mile from the sta
ton and present q scene we'll
worth a visit to behold. The
business part of the town is near
the station, and except during
the winter months, when the va
cation of the school occurs, Sc
vance is a very live town.
Six miles further up the road
IS charming Monteagle. OF
course everybody knows that
Monteagle, as she is to-day, is
due to the will and heart of that
great man who last year went to
his reward, and while nothing
would be said to lessen the credit
of this distinguished friend of
Monteagle, in his zeal and gem
crosby TO this now famous South
ern resort, yet it is apparent that
but for the liberal spirit of the
company over which he presided,
Mai. Thomas would have been
poWerless. And while publicity
is not often given to the subject,
it is a patent fact that the Nash
vile, Chattanooga Il st. Louis
Railway Co. has always shown
public spirited generosity to
every enterprise on its system
which bore promise Of future de-
yelopmeBt or usefulness, thereby
materially advancing the com
mercinl importance Of Nashville.
During the winter months the
merchants Of Monteagle feel that
they are doing well to pay CLERK
hire, but when the assembly
opens it presents the busy APP
pearance of metropolis. The
census gives population of $3.50,

course of justice is obstructed or thwarted by those who tamper with courts and juries to serve their own ends Are such things unknown in Alabama? Well, we think careful and intelligent investigation would not in- frequently uncover the tracks of the moies whose principal occupation con sists in tampering with jurors and thus defeating justice.
 And thus. while the vote-fixer is an enemy to our institutions the jury -fxer is the deadly enemy of law and justice. And this brings us back to our first contention that one of the solemn duties of the good citizen is to assist in enforcing the laws and nowhere can he do this 70 we'll as in the jury-box. If the honest. intelligent and upright citizens of every community will cease to dodge and evade this responsibility the pestilent and dangerous jury-fixer will find his occupation gone and will be forced to seek new pastures. He will find so much less material to ope- rate on, and so many obstacles in his way that his business will cease to be profitable.
 And so. MT. Good Citizzen. when you come to reflect on the duties you owe to your country and your fellow -creat- ures, remember that place on the jury is one of the most important.

WEDNESDAY,, MAY 10, lees.
IS THERE NO LIMrTs

In the Proverbs of Solomon we are told that "the horse leech hath two daughters, crying. give, give.! and we are inclined to place the labor unions in the same category with the daugh- ters of the horse-1eech. In Brooklyn. as we learn from The Eagle. fully half the Journeymen carpenters have gone on a strike for higher wages. They are now getting fifty cents an hour, but are not satisfied with it. In Kan sas City The Journal says the plaster CTS threaten to go on a Genetal strike on June 1. They now work eight hours a day five days in the week and four on Saturdays and get five dollars for each of the six days, but they demand three dollars a week more. That will bring their--pay up to 75 cents per hour
 Now, any well informed person must know that these prices are already exceedingly liberal, if not unreasonably so. The union bosses point out that prices of living have increased and wages must increase also, but this is largely an unfair presentation. Ex- penses have increased, but not nearly in proportion to the increase in pay of workingmen. The unions use this as all argument, but that is not what they predicate their threats on. When there is much building going on and the contractors have large contracts on hand, with forfeiture if they fail to finish the work in time, then is the time the unions choose to strike, know ing that In many. if not most cases the employers will yield to the unjust de- mands rather than risk losing their contracts. The threat of a strike is a hold-up under another name. Can they not realize that they may at least kill the goose that lays golden eggs?

It gave what MT. Conner twenty years afterwards began to elamor for. a commission which un- der the terms of the lw could do some thing.
 That till passed the House and went to the Senate. After that body wan through with it. there was only advi- sory power given and it was distasteful to those who desired commission which could do something more than advise.
 This bill was so repugnant to many members of the House thnt they voted against 1t and some spread a protest upon the Journal against it. The pro- Thomas H. Price, of Mobile. Charles E. Waller of Hale. and W. E. skeggs. o. Morgan. The protest was in these words:
 We protest against adopting the re- port of the committee of conference, and against the passage of the bill recommended by the committed. for the reason that we regard the, fifth and sixth sections of the bill, which are hereto attached wholly In the interest and for the benefit of the railroads and against the right and interest of the people.
 Dr. Cunningham has more than once announced his reason for voting against the emasculated bill. His latest ut terance at Gadsden last Mondayi was in these words:

E. G. Fowler Says Care of uigestiOs
 Solves Problem of Long Life.
 No one in Montgomery has a bet ter chance than the druggist to llow the condition of the city's health, ana what diseases are the most common.
 E. c. Fowler believes that the prob lem of long life Is solved by proper care of the digestive organs Let the stomach get out of condition and soon there will be nervousness. irritation. furred tongue, specks before the eyes weakness. debility, indigestion, and other physical and mental troubles that directly result from a weakened stom- ach.
 Is the most frequently abused. and hence, the one which most frequently fails, and so with the discovery of g remedy like Mi-o-na stomach tablets, which is sold on an absolute guaran- tee to strengthen the digestive sys- tenn, aid in assimilation of food. and cure all troubles caused by indiges- ton. an important step has been taken towards solving the question of good health and long life.
 Take one of the little Mi-o-na tab lets before each meal, with the fixed determination that you are going to set well, and it will not be many days before you can eat anything without fear of indigestion.
 E. c. Fowler sells Mi-o-na on an ab- solute guarantee to refund the money if 1t does not cure. A large box of the tablets costs but 50 cents, if 1t helps you; nothing if it fails.
 If not convenient to obtain Mi-o-na of MT. Fowler or some other retailer it will be sent by mail postage prepaid on receipt of price. .5s4
