In a letter which is printed by The Advertiser this morning Milton H. x Smith. President of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company, replies to Hon. w b. Nesbitt, Associate memy Der of the Alabama Railroad Commits sion. who had made public state ment of his views of pending legisia- tion contemplating regulation or rail- roads.
 Mir. smith makes the predatory re- mark that he had been unable to ob- tain copies of all of the recent bills in troduced in the Legislature and re- ferred to the Joint Committees on Commerce and Common Carriers and Buidiciary.
 MT. Smith gives interesting statistics of the earnings and expenditures or the Louisville and Nashville, especially upon freights carried out of the min efa1 district.
 Following is copy of the full text of his letter:
 Montgomery. Ala. Nov. 10. 1907. .Editor The Advertiser:
 'In your issue of today there ap- pears a reference to statement from Associate Railroad Commissioner W. n. Nesbitt, referring to pending iegis- iation.
 @As I have not yet succeeded in ob- tainfnR copies of all bills affecting railway interests that have been intro- duced and referred to the Joint Com mittee on Common Carriers and Judi eiary Committee of the Senate--and which learn from the morning press said Committees have unanimously agreed to report favorably and have not had an opportunity to consider the bills of which I have received copies. I am not in poa!t tion to clearly conpre- hend the statements made by. Mr. Nes- bitt relative to the alleged Increases in the rates on certain classes of prop srty to be voted on by the Legisia- ture but A cursory examination of some of them shows that when the arr fieles constitute much the larger pro- portion of the tonnage carried by them, no per centage of increase is allowed.
 'Mr. Nesbitt calls attention to the fact that 76 per cent of the total ton mage moved by the Louisville and Nashville and South and North Ala bama Railroad companies consists of coke. coal. ore, pig iron and naval storea. and that the rates on none of these articles have been reduced. He does not tell you that the rates on these articles are much lower than in the State of Georgia or elsewhere in the world. If Georgia rates are de- sired, would it not have been fair for the State to have ordered an advance of these low rates? It may be inter

average cost of moving all tonnage, and 1t is susceptible of proof that the is approximately as great as on their average business" I. for one, wish that MT. Nesbitt is correct in his stater ment that "the net earnings on this class of business Is approximately as great as on their average business" It seems to me he will have great diff ficulty in proving that the enormous tonnage handled by the Louisville and Nashville and South and North Ala bama Railroads for which they receive approximately but eleven cents per ton produces net earnings as great as the average business. or any net earnings whatever.

Tells How Col. Dillingham; Accomplishes Remarkable Results Which Are
 Startling Montgomery People.

Owing to the interest that has been aroused in this county over the re- markabIe cures Col. Dllingham's Plant Juice Eminent has been making in cases of partial deafness. paralysis. stiff limbs and different aches and pains. an opinion was asked of one of inc leading physicians of this section as to just what method Col. Dining- ham uses to produce such remarkable results The physician in question said: q have been skeptical as to the ability of any medicine to do what is claimed Col Dillingham's remedies do. but after hearing the testimony of the . numbers of people who have used 1t on cd to use an arm that was for several years paraIyzed, am forced to be- lieye that the medicine actually does as stated, is a liniment of unusual power. which is highly stimulating to the nerves. and when applied to the paraIyzed part stimulates it to a cer- tain extent into action, but the main reason for the remarkable results it produces is. I believe, that it is won derful massage agent and that it works on the old principle that the truest way to restore a paralyzed part to it's normal function is exercising by means of massage.

I from day to day for weeks, sometimes for months, and sometimes for years. but this Remedy evidently possesses unusual power. which can accomplish in one short treatment results that the ordinary methods take a long lime to produce. .
 This I believe to be the method by which it obtains the results which are startling Montgomery people, as far as partial paralysis. stiff limbs. and diff ferent aches and pains are concerned How 1t is able to alleviate partial deafness of years standing in a few minutes is beyond me to say
 That it does so seems to be beyond question, but I am absolutely unable to say what is the nature of the method or compound that he uses in producing the results.
 T shall at the first opportunity in- vestigate the Eminent and see for my self what Is being accomplished by it.
 The drug stores of Montgomery re- port gratifying sale of the remedies and it would appear that the com mendabde work done by Col Dilling- ham in demonstrating his remedies has made a reputation for them in Mont gomery that will cause them to he used and recommended by the people for years to come II looks as if Plant Juice Remedies have come to stay.

BIG BILLS TO
 BE REPORTED 10 Be Sent to Calendar in Both Houses. POSSIBILITIES OPEN TOMORROW Program of Legislation in the Legis-
 Iature Today. Constitutionhl Prohibition is sset as Special Order in House for Taes-
 day, While Railroad xshls
 wiii Be Up in Senate.

With batteries in position and troops ready and eager for the fray, the op- posing sides of the Alabama Legisla- ture in its extraordinary" session will today rest on their arms, in preparation for the big battle. which opens tomor- row.
 There may be- some little raaneuver. ing today, and 1t is possible that there will be slight skirmish in one or both houses, but the stern clash will not come before Tuesday. Rules ofthe Senate and House alone prevent the opening of the battle prop CT today. Both sides are prepared for the fight and are anxious to have it over with.
 The fight will be made along two separate and distinct lines. There will be. Of course, the great railroad regu- lation battle, while no less in public interest will be the war waged for statutory and constitutional prohibit tion.
 In the Senate the hostiiities will be opened on the railroad bills, while in the House the battle will begin on prohibition.
 Tn both houses the administration railroad measures will be favorably reported by the committees today. They VIII tifiHHeoidteAy Dc put on the Cdtcu- dar, and, in all probability will, on Tuesday, come up for a third reading and final passage in the Senate.
 In the House, however. Representa- tive Ballard's bill calling for an cleo ton to vote on constitutional prohibi- tion is set down as the paramount spe- cial order for that day and 1t Is hard ly probable that the matter will be disposed of before Wednesday.
 So today, the program will be sim ply the introduction of new bills and committee reports as the Ballard bill alone is on the calendar. A similar course will be followed in the Sem ate.
 Both sides Conadent.
 In the most immediate fight, the pro- htbition contest, both sides are con- fident It is thought that Chairman Ballard's Dill will practically decide the fate of the entire question. If the two thirds vote Is secured for the election it Is practically assured that a similar number can be obtained for statutory prohibition, while. if 1t does not get the required number, defeat certainly stares the prohibitionists in the face.
 Senator Moody, of Tuscaloosa, reached Montgomery last night. He did not attend the first two day's ses- sions but will be in the thick of the light from now on. It is expected that tnere VIII pc complete attendance of both houses by this morning, when the Legislature is called to order.
 On the railroad question the anti Conner forces are preparing to make a determined stand and every effort will be made to stem the tide of legfsla- : tion inimical to the railroad interests s of the State
 The great mass meeting of business men scheduled for Tuesday noon. 1t is expected, will have a decided effect in causing more careful consideration of the question and the Conner leaders may have tremendous surprise in store for them when the bills come up for a third reading.

for . day or so. for he was sent to Tuscaloosa this afternoon
 That he was The Tree of Life and the Son of God" has been the hal- Inclination of F. M. Bfazelton for some months past For months with a large banner in his hands. announc- ing that he was The Tree of Life and strets of the city and preached his strange phantasm. Regular every | month. he called on q number of the merchants of the city for twenty five cents for their membership to the Tree of Life"
 BrazeIton's Authorization took a more decided turn about a week ago. He addressed threatening letters to num- Der of the ministers of the city. He also addressed a letter of this nature to Mayor Atkins who caused his arr rest. The writing of these letters and the feet that the man was becoming a nuisance, led Probate Judge P. H. Pitts to ask the hesauthoritiss. city and county. to lock up the man and to keep him off the streets until he could be sent to Tuscaloosa. During the week, the arrangements for taking care of him in Tuscaloosa were made and man from that institution. reached here to- day and carried Brazelton back with him.
 Brazelton was an inmate of the asy- lum at Tuscaloosa several years ago. But 1t was thought that he had been cured of his dementia and he was al- lowed to return to his home in this city But his deiusion took hold of him again some months ago. and since then he has been preaching his fancy on the streets and has been gradually growing worse.

 Late Saturady night, Mayor Atkins released A, D. Fabitis from the city chain gang and allowed the man to re- turn to his home ,Fabitis, who is an Italian fruit dealer was arrested at his place of business on Broad street on Sunday night, October 27s on the charges of violating the liquor laws, violating the Sunday law ana TOT asr
 On the morning of Thursday October 3I, Fabitis was tried in police court on tho three charges The case Tor assault and battery, was dismissed and in the case of violating the liquor law or running a blind tiger, he was fined sIeo or ninety days on the street. For violating the Sunday law, the Italian was sentenced to ninety days labor on. the streets of the city. He began 70 serve out this term on the streets on the morning of November 1, and since then has been working regularly.
 During the past few days, Fabftiss wife was taken Ill and out of sympathy he was released last night upon the payment of the sleo fine Tor vioia,ns the liduor law. Fabitis was given his
