It was the home of Sam Morris colored. but Sam was away at the time, no one being in charge except Sans wife The sheriff asked the woman for the keys to that outhouse. She said her hus- band had gone to the lodge and had the keys with him. Whereupon Sherif Mid dleton procured an axe and broke the door open. He did not find the man he was hunting in there, but instead he found three croker sacks full of fine cigars and two barrels of liquor, bottled in half pint bottles The sheriff did not take possession of the goods. as he had no papers authorizing 1t. When parties went down there this morning with the expectation of finding the goods yet there they were disappointed, as they had been removed Sam Morris is an ordinary negro farmer.

Sheriff Enioined.

Sheriff Thomas R. Shipp has been en- joined by the Louisville and Nashville railroad from serving papers in the first case against the railroad company that has come up in the courts here under the new railroad laws.
 Some weeks ago Robert J. Brown boarded a Louisville and Nashville train here and rendered Conductor Arnold 21s cents mile for the distance he wanted to go Conductor Arnold told MT. Brown that he would have to c,.~ect 3 cents a mile. MT. Brown insisted a'hat under the new rate law he could collect but 21s cents. Finally MT. Brown was elected from the train.
 MT. Brown then filed suit against the the Louisville and Nashville, through his attorney. John R. Sample. of Hart selle, in the law and equity court here, for the sum of $1 .999.
 Judge John C. Eyster of New Deca- tur. attorney for the Louisville and Nashville, enjoined Sheriff Shipp from serving the papers. Thus the damage case of Mir Brown cannot come to trial until the injunction Is passed upon by the courts.

Decatur, October 2.-(spec l-Foul Joe 6motives badly wrecked and a ne gro fire, man with broken leg Is tn, result of i wreck on the Southern railroad this 42ornins.
 At an early hour this morning South. ern passenger train No. f33. while run. ming at a high rate of speed, dash ed into an open switch on which were standing three locomotives The three standing on the track were steamed up and all of them were so badly damaged that they will probably have to be loaded onto cars in order that they may be taken to the shops. The locomotive which was pulling the passenger train was not as badly dam aged as were the others, but 1t was damaged to such an extent as to put 1t out of commission and a locomotive had to be brought here from Tuscum- bia to pull the train.
 Strange to say. none of the passen- ger coaches of the train left the track and none of the passengers was hurt. but they were badly shaken up and many of them were thrown out of their hunks in the sleepers by the terrific crash. It Is also strange to say that none of the train men, except the ne- gro fireman, whose leg was broken was injured in the least
 The point where the wreck occurred Is some distance from the union pas senger station and is just at the west ern extremity of the Southern railroad yards. How the switch came to be left open no one seems to know The engineer reversed his engine as quickly as possible, but the train ran a dis tance of some three hundred wards before the air brakes and the rever/ of the locomotive could bring it to d stop.
 Portions of the locomotives are strewn all along the tracks for dis tance of 200 yards, but the tracks are not torn up in the least.

Compress Charges.

Within the circle of cotton buyers in this section of the state there is much discussion on the subject. of the sud den and unexpected advance of tariff on cotton to be charged by the Gulf Compress company, which went ffNo effect October l, 1907, and which will remain as now fixed until October l, 1908.
 The Gulf Compress company has comnresses in the Decaturs and In many other towns and cities in Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi. The At lantic Compress company has com presses In Alabama Georgia, Louisiana and Florida. Thus 1t will be seen that these congresses form one great trust In these southern states.
 The tariff charges promulgated by the Gulf Compress company are In 10 counts and the same sch edule Is pro mulgated by the Atlantic Compress company. The new tariff schedule 5ts in 10 counts and in one of these counts alone at Decatur there Is an[ advance of over 800 per cent. which Is from the total of s3000 from October l, 1906, to October 1, 1902. to $2b,000 from october 1, 1907, to october 1. 1903.
 The cotton bnyers In Decatur say that if is impossible to pay the prices as set forth in the new tariff charges of the Gulf Compress company without affecting the price of cotton and the amount that the cotton buyers of the State will be forced to pay to the Gull f kCompress company will amount |, S375O. 900 a year and that this meant one-half a cent per pound reduction il cotton, or about $2.50 per bale to tn producer.
