Prominent among them is case brought before if by J, T. Slater, as manager, against the Southern Rail way, and the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Companies to decide upon the rate which shall be permitted on wheels. axles, and trucks between Biz nlingham and Selma,

The celebration of the "galorious IA" at Imperial took on rather stren- uous features before the day was done. The literary and musical program seemed not to attract as much atten- ton or receive as much notice as the personal struggle with thirst in which many of the celebrants joined.
 Relief stations had been provided at frequent intervals by the thoughtful people of Imperial and ample facilities were afforded the thirst sufferers so "first aid to the injured" was never far away The little city was fairly well crowded with people. the day was hot and dusty, the crowds orderly and good natured with the exception of those whose thirst overcame their discretion.
