way. Secretary of State Julian is with out information today further than al- ready printed and will likely not have anything more until some overt act brings the company agents or officers into the courts of this or some other county. Two ideas discussed-one that the railroad lawyers were surprised and ought to have had the act enjoined as they did the others, and. another ills that there was a deliberate violation on the part of the agent of the road in order to bring about a crisis In the first case the route of relief will likely be in the federal court, in the latter action will come in the arrest of some of the officers of the company. This would take place on the line of road somewhere possibly in Talladega In fact there is a belief that Talladega has been selected as the place from which to make the fight.
 Supervision Bill.
 The Kirby bill for better supervision of the country schools, which passed the house this week. is thought to have good show to make its way through the sen ate. State Superintendent of Education Harry c. Gunnels thinks it q good bill Not what he would have had. possibly but long step in the right direction He hopes it will pass. It provides that much of the time of the superintendent must be given to the schools and that he must be a teacher with as good as third grade certificate.
 The bill to purchase the big picture of Gen John B. Gordon has been adVersed by the senate finance committee. The picture is a very handsome one and has been in the lobby of the capitol for some time. There will be effort before long to secure the painting for the state in some other way, 1t Is said.
 rTt- | cod 11.F ha A n H. merate the old Confederate soldiers is re- garded as one of the best passed at the session At this late day 1t has become necessary that the names and addresses of these old veterans be kept at the cap itol.
