RECENT PURCHASES To IMPROVE
ITS SERVICE.


President Garrett, Of the seaboard
Air Line. has written an open latter
In which he enumerates the many re-
cent purchases the railroad has made
to improve it's service and in which
he dwells at some length upon the at
titude of the Air Line towards the pub
lie.
Fifty engines, to be delivered during
July and August have been ordered by
the seaboard, and 1909 box cars, 1000
gondoIas and fifty ballast cars, which
will be delivered in the fall. To expe-
dite construction and wrecking work
steam shovel, q pile driver. q wreck-
ing outfit and a ballast unloader have
been ordered.
within the past two weeks the Sea-
board has placed in service five new
express cars and one postal car. Ship
ments of parts OF the order of $4,000
tons of rail for the company are be-
ing received and the rails are being
laid on the line between Richmond,
Portsmouth ana orn~a.
President CARROTS letter Is preface
with the statement that the Seaboard
is Southern property, managed en-
tirely In the South and by Southern
men. He expresses a desire of the

rons in upbuilding the southeastern

pus proceedings were introduced by
its mother. to gain possession Of the
child. I gave her the custody of the
child. but since then. the mother has
been arrested and Is now in the GUS
tody OF the law.
Under these conditions, I thought 1t
best to take the child out of her care
and place 1t with some one who will
attend to 1t, as 1t Is now a waif.
That Is the reason made use of the
bill passed by the Legislature.
Commenting on the measure. Judge
Sayre said: "At the next meeting Of
the Legislature this bill will prob
ably be greatly modified. A Juvenile
Court is a good idea, but conditions
are such in Montgomery that 1t does
not apply here as In other cities. Some
of the worst criminals we have are
under the age Of IA years and accord
ing 10 this bill, the officers OF the law
cannot handle them. They must be
sent to a reformatory But we have
none. Having no reformatory, they
must be cared for by the county and
we are now caring for enough of
them. This bill was evidently drafted
from one in use in some other state,
but conditions are different here and 1t
does not apply. think 1t will surely
be amended at the July session"

Huntsville. April 24.-(SpeciaL)--
Lawrence Cooper. Jr., son of Joe r..
Cooper. a well known insurance agent,
and Miss Bessie Powell, very popular
young woman of this city, eloped to
Fayetteville yesterday afternoon and
were married by Esquire C. C. McKin-

Huntsville couples than any man liv-
ing.
The marriage was surprise to rel
atives and friends. The bride and
groom are both IS years old. Mr..
Cooper is assistant paymaster of the
railroad construction camp at Lineville
Ala, and he and his bride left for that
town today.
Several Huntsville people with un-
paid bills would like to see H. E. Du.
puy, trick skater, who blew into this
city a few days ago for an engage
ment at looking the loop at the Hip
podrome rink. Dupuy gave rather a
poor performance and his crowds were
small and expenses correspondence
large. 1t appears that he took flight
as the easiest means of getting out OF
his financial difficulties.

Moreover. 1t is caused not by the at.
traction Of the sun but by its heat. A

low the sun from east to west, caused
by the extraction Of moisture from the
