Ma, morning was the wedding day of
Miss Alice Roosevelt. Soft, balmy
sunshine poured down from a cloudless
sky and made the day like spring
time.
Although the guests within the East
Room who witnessed the beautiful
ceremony did not number beyond the
hundreds, thousands gathered about
the White House, fascinated by the
thought that they could be 40 near the
scene on which the eyes Of ths world
we're centered today. So perfect was
the weather that many OF the guests
dismissed their carriages and walked
leisuIsly down to the White House.
This made Lafayetta Park centre OF
interest between IL and u o'clock and
reminded one Of an Easter morning.
Along the front of the White House
there were many promenaoers, uho
sttoleu alouR in the sunshine, all ex-
pressing delight that Miss kooseyelt's
tupreme wish for a bright day had
been granted.
BY half-past 10 O'Clock the line Of
carriages extended from the Eastern
entrance Of the White House, past the
front OF Lafayette Square and down
Seyenteentb street nearly to the Cor
e.ran Art Gallery.
II was possible for the crowds in
Lafayette ark TO see the guests stand
ing 10 the East noon, anu as soon az
they saw them moving toward the cor
rdoT they kneW that the ceremony was
over and a I'll pie oil exoIIemant spread
through their IanEs. StraiRhtWay
there was a movement 10 the north
gate, because Of the rumor which was
current throughout the morning that
the bridal couple would leave the
White house by this entrance on theii
way TO Friendship, the home Of Mr..
aud Mrs. ohm Il. McLaan, where il
lie saIu they will spend several dayi
before leaving Washington.

NEW RAILROAD IS
 TO BE BUILT SOON
PAINT ROCK VALLEY IN JACKSON COUNTY WILL BE DEVELOPED BOTH FOR TIMBER AND MINER AIS.

Scottsboro September -(Special)-The prospects for the Paint Rock Valley rail- way is now bright indeed. The Alabama Coal, Iron and Lumber company, a cor poraton organized a few months ago by Chicago capitalists. has purchased S0,ooo acres of valuable coal mineral and tim- Der lands in Paint Rock valley. in this (Jackson) county, and will build a nine mile railroad from Gurley along the route of the old Gurley and --aint Rock Val ley railroad that has been surveyed and partly graded some time ago.
 George F, McNeil of Chicago is presi- dent of the new company. Jesse L. Austin of Chicago is secretary and treasurer and general manager. The company was or ganized under the laws of South Dakota with a capital stock of S150O0. The tract of timber lands owned by the company is located near the Alabama-Tennessee line. It is densely timbered with the finest of hard woods-oak. gum, hickory, poplar, chestnut and walnut An expert figures that 1t will yield nearly three-quarters of billion feet.
 There are three parallel veins of coal running through the property, and the coal prospect will be developed when the railroad Is built. There are outcroppings of iron ore also. The company expects to develop Paint Rock valley, and if the plans outlined in the prospectus are car ried out, the valley will soon be one of the most thriving sections of Alabama
 Traffic arrangements have already been made with the Memphis division of the Southern railway at Gurley.
 In acquiring the right of way of the Gurley and Paint Rock Valley railroad the Alabama Iron, Coal and Lumber com pany secured the charter and franchises of the road projected from Montgomery to Nashville by way of Winchester Tenn. However. for the present, the railroad plans of the company provide only for a nine-mile mineral road.

REPUBLICANS TO
 HOLD CONVENTION
NEW HAMPSHIRE WILL NAME CAN DlDATES FOR STATE OFFICES ToDAY-WINsToN CHURCHILL RUNS FOR GOVERNOR.

Concord, N. H, September H.-The most interesting republican state convention in New Hampshire in many years will be held here tomorrow. The extraordinary canvass which has preceded the eonven- tion has largely developed from the en- trance into the field of the gubernatorial nomination of Winston Churchill, the nov elist. who is representative and leader of anti-corporation movement launched by the newly formed Lincoln Republican club of New Hampshire.
 For the past six weeks MT. Churchill has toured the state making a large number of speeches in support of this platform which is aimed chiefly at the Boston and Maine railroad and which calls for the abolition of a lobby in New Hampshire politics.
 The other candidates for the nomina- ton are Charles H. Greenleaf of Fran conia member of Governor McLanes council and former state senator; Charles M. Floyd of Manchester, R. ". Pills bury of Londonderry and S. H. Gale of Exeter.
 MT. Greenleaf is known as the north country candidate, while MT Floyds strength Is in the southern section of the state. Both MT. Greenleaf and MT. Floyd are known as regulars" or republicans satisfied with the party record in the state as well as in national affairs.
 MT. Pillsbury stands upon platform which alleges extravagance in state finnaces and charges among other things the creation and maintenance of useless commissions. Gale has issued a general re- form platform. The candidacy of Green leaf and Floyd is said to have split the republican organization.
