Messrs. Robertson and Lockwood Purchase Large Piece of
 Property.

Steps which It Is intinated may be preparatory to the erection of large hotel for winter tourists, with a possi- bility of a theatre being included, were taken yesterday. when the land lying on the northwest corner of Adams and Lawrence Street, south of the County Court building and adjoining to the Carnegie Library on the east. was purchased by Frank Lockwood, the ar chitect and w. T. Robertson, the gro- cer
 While it has not been stated posi- lively as yet the nature of the building which 1t is planned to erect, the rumor yesterday was to the effect that in short time start will be made on structure which will be one of the finest hotel buildings in the South.
 Architect Lockwood himself filed pa pers of the transfer with Probate Judge J. B. Gaston yesterday afternoon. These papers conveyed the land in question from Emma F. Winter, Edgar Winter, Jennie Vass. T. M. Vass and Lucy F.. Marks. the former owners, to the pur- chasers, the price stated having changed hands in the transaction being S15,000.
 Included in the transfer were four lots. three of them facing on Adams Street. and one on Lawrence, the entire property being 155 by 136 feet in dimen- sions.
 The land which has become the prop erty of the rumored hotel promoters is the same which several weeks ago. 1t was announced. Nose W. Stuart had secured an option. This option was purchased from MT. Stewart several days ago by the present owners.
 Regarding the proposed hotel, the new owners are for the present reti- cent.
 We are not prepared just yet" said Architect Lockwood, when approached on the subject yesterday, ito make pup lie our plans. It Is possible we we shall make a number of changes In them before we get ready to build. and we cannot give them out to tho pubic al present"
 The hotel which. it Is understood IS contemplated, will have, when com pleted, it Is said, not less than hVe stories, with possibly six. A portion of the first three floors would, Of neces- sity, be taken up by the theatre ieaV- ing the upper rooms and the remaining parts of the first three floors for guests The office of the hotel, 1t Is understood will also be on the first moor
 In design, the ediflce will have hand some front of sandstone, with huge pillars of stone forming small DOT tico on tho Adams Street side. The theatre entrance. 1t Is probable. will open on Lawrence Street. The interior of the building will be finished off with the most modern and decorative mate rials.
 Demands for increased hotel facili- ties for families and parties of tour ists who desire to spend a portion of the winter months in the South. have become increasingly great during the last few years. In Southern Alabama there are a number of localities which are known exclusively as winter colo nies for people from the North, and the vicinity around -oSQntE omsyx :bAs

all tickets that have been sold by the Street Railway or by the Traction Company, will be recognized and ac- cepted on any line of the consolidated companies.
 "ouite an army of workmen are out at Electric Park making improvements; quite a number of new buildings are being erected, and there are several gangs of trackmen on different parts of the system, overhauling the track and overhead work to put the lines In first class condition.
 "Mr. Ragland, MT. Hogshead and oth- CT officers of the company are working almost day and night to get everything in shape"
 { In reference to Jeff Davis Avenue, MT. Apperson said: Well this mat ter has been a matter of great concern to us, and we wish to assure the public that conditions on Jeff Davis Avenue for the last several months have been en tireIy beyond the control of the pres stn owners of the property. We ex- s,ect, however, at once to remove the lack from Jeff Davis Avenue, and we
 sure the residents of that street that
 st as soon as the tracks are remov-
 we will place the street In good
 dition, and after we get through with the street, we do not believe that any resident on that street will have any reason to complain as to the streets condition"
 The cars twill not run on Jeff DaVls Avenue after Saturday night.
 These gentlemen also expressed themselves as highly delighted with the improvements being made in Mont gomery, and of signs of progress, and as willing to contribute in every way possible to the much desired increase of the population to one hundred thou sand in 1910.
 They could give out nothing in refer ence to the new ball park.

 Win Be Good.
President Apperson I'm An Interesting Interview Forecasts The Improve ments That Are To Come.
 City's Terms Are Ac-
 cepted In Full.

The Montgomery Traction Company and the Montgomery Street Railway are consolidated.
 After a bitter fight in the City Coun- cil of Montgomery, the provisions or the ordinance adopted by the Councll providing the conditions for the con solidation were accepted practically by the street railway l,ople ana yes terday that acceptance was made for- nal by the paying into the city treas ury S7,500 for the privilege of allow ing the old Traction Company track to remain on Dexter avenue and Mont gomery street.
 As soon as transfers can be printed they will be issued from all lines or the consolidated company.
 The formal papers of incorporation, which consolidate the three street car companies of Montgomery with a cap itaI stock of $2,O0O,0o0. were filed yes terday with Judge of Probate Court J. B. Gaston. From the present the ex- istence of the individual traction cor porations has ceased, and the compa- nies formerly known as the Montgom- cry Traction Company. the Montsom- cry Street Railway and the Suburban Railway, will henceforth be known as the Montgomery Traction Company
 Early yesterday afternoon, the pa- pers were filed. They bore the sigma lures of President R. D. Apperson. of the old Montgomery Traction Company, and J. D. Morseley, president of the Montgomery Street Railway Company, as well as those of Ray Rushton, w. H. Ragland, J. B. McEntire, B. P. Crum and c. c. Hogshead, who, with the two presidents form the Board of Di- rectors of the new organization.
 In the articles of incorporation, 1t is stated that the charter adopted for the consolidated companies shall be that of the old Montgomery Street Railway All shares of stock of the Montgomery Street Railway and the Montgomery Suburban Street Railway Company, 1t is further stated. shall be surrendered by the stockholders, who shall be giv- en stock of equivalent value in the consolidated corporation, this stock to be fully paid and non -assessable.
 One clause Of the incorporation papers provides for a supplementary deed of trust which Is to be executed conveying all properties, rights. franchises, privi- leges, etc. the company may possess. to the Real Estate Trust Company Of Philadelphia, as trustee. to further se- cure an issue of $2,00O,000 worth of bonds under a foregoing deed of trust of April 1, 1905.

Negroes On Juries.

Mobile Register.
 Here in Mobile, 1t has been the prac- tice all along to include negroes as well as whites. In the call for iurymen but in some other parts of the state negroes are either barred out or are ignored. We do not presume to teli the white people of those parts what they ought to do They know their own situation; we do not. It seems plain, however, that when violence IS resorted to, as Is charged against par ties as yet unknown in Monroe coun- tv the law should be invoked and every effort made to put stop to it. It is reported that negro was whip ped or beaten because he consented to serve on the grand jury of the couf- ty and that he was thus forced to ask a that he be excused from further service The judge has charged that an investigation be held We hope 1t will be a rigid one. The good people of Monroe cannot afford to counte- nance Whitecapping.
