days after the failure to get Judge Cab

found the grass dead where the bomb was

dered by transportation lines is tax You know that the remuneration re- ceived by railroads for their product (vi7. transportation Is no more a tax than the remuneration you pay to those who cultivate cotton for you Is a tax, or tine amount received by you for the cotton products of your farm Is tax upon the cotton mills, or the amount received by you for the product of your cotton mills is tax upon the consumer, or the amount received by you as rent for real estate is tax. You might as well say that the sums the people of Alabama pay annually for services of laborers, me- chanics, doctors. lawyers, preachers, or for the very bread and meat they con- sume, are a tax as to say that trans portation charges are a tax upon them. The one statement would be as accura. .e as the other.
 Furthermore, in your published state ment, you omit to tell the public that of the four and a half million dollars in an nual taxes paid by the people of Ala bama the Louisville and Nashville and South and North Alabama Railroad com panies paid last year one-sixteenth, pr S600 of every $100. To be exact, the total amount of state, county and municipal taxes in Alabama paid by these two rail road companies in the year ending June 5D, l9Ui, was SZfZ, ,loi 50. NOt only SO put upon assessments made in pursuance of onerous revenue measures passed by the present legislature, and approved by you, the annual state. county and municipal taxes to he paid in Alabama for the cur rent fiscal year by these two railroad companies will, I am reliably informed, reach approximately s400,000, or nearly ten per cent of the entire annual taxes you say the whole people of the state, in- dividuals and corporations, have hereto fore paid.
 In conclusion, I respectfully urge that. instead of converting the legislature for the avowed purpose of enacting ininlical Legislation to still further harass the rail roads. and of urging, as you are doing by your public expressions and conduct the people of Alabama to harass and an noy railroads, you. as chief executive and as a law-abidng citizen, permit the contention to be decided in accordance with the laws of Alabama, in lawful and orderly way and that you, by pre- cept and example encourage all law abiding citizens to patiently await the de- cision of the courts and acquiesce therc- in. as the railway companies will ds- suredly do.
 Very truly.

 T believe that I am well and there fore give my highest commendation to the curative qualities of Peruna.
 Pe-ru-na For Kidney Trouble.
 Mrs. Geo, H. Simser, Grant Ontario, Can, writes:
 q had not been well for about four years. I had kidney trouble, and, in fact. felt badly nearly a1I the time.
 This summer I got so very bad l thought I would try Peruna, so I wrote to you and began at once to take Pe- runa and Manalin.
 T took only two bottles of Peruna and one of Manalin, and now 1 feel better than I have for some time.
 I feel that Peruna and Manalin cured me and made different woman of me altogether. I bless the day l picked up the little book and read of your Peruna. It is the business of the kidneys to remove from the blood all poisonous materials. They must be active all the time, else the system suffers. There are times when they need little assistance Peruna Is exactly this sort of a rem edy. It has saved many people from disaster by rendering the kidneys ser vice at time when they were not able to bear their own burdens.

 "Whereas a controversy exists between the state official and different railroads doing business as common carriers with in the state as to the legality and con stitutionality of acts passed by the last legisla of Alabama reducing the tariff on various articles of freight and also Teducng the fare to be charged for transportation of passengers within the state of Alabama, and, whereas, the rail- road companies have not undertaken to violate said laws or either of them in any respect, but have resorted to the court for the settlement of difficulties between all parties as to controversies and have expressed in court proceedings and In public prints a willingness a desire to abide by the judgments of the courts 10 which they have applied, and, whereas, the statutes above mentioned have been suspended in their operations the judg- ments and decree of a court having juris- diction of the same, pending the settle ment of the contention of said contro- versy.
 Therefore be it resolved That we depre cate the action of the state officials in seeking to have arrested, imprisoned or punished employees of said companies who are selling tickets and collecting fare at the rates prescribed by the regular tariff of said companies and which are not in violation of any law that is in force or effect
 Resolved, therefore, That we protest against the assumption of jurisdiction to indiet our fellow employees for discharging their duties in a way that is not viola ton of any state law in force
 We regret the attempt of the judge to have our people indicted and branded as criminals because they are performing their duties which are lawful and in a. lawful way.

MEETING OF VETERANS.
Old Confederate Soldiers Listen to
 General Lee.

Columbus. Miss, September 7.-(Special) The annual barbecue of the United Con federate veterans of Lowndes county was held at Lake park yesterday and was one of the most enjoyable ever held. General Stephen D. Lee, commanding gen. eral of the United Confederate veterans, made the principal address of the occa- sion and was applauded by everyone pres ent General Lee was followed by sev- eral veterans who made short speeches.
 After the speeches were heard the vet eraus adjourned to benches outside the pavilion and began telling their thrilling stories and heart-rending experiences of '62 to '65.
 The only sad feature of these occa- sions Is the visible thinning out of the ranks which is more noticeable every year. The car which conveyed the vet erans to Lake park was decorated in colors of the confederacy.

August 16. 1907. Hon. B. B. Comer Governor State of
 Alabama. Montgomery. Ala
 Dear Sir: Your telegram and letter of the 14th instant have just come to my attention.
 The legislature of Alabama having eff acted certain statutes. which were ap- proved by you governor. materially af fecting the interests of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company, and which the mana cement believe to be Illegal proceedings were instituted in the circuit court of the United States for the Middle District of Alabama for the purpose of securing judicial investigation and de- cision from the courts of final review as to the validity of said statutes. so far as they applied to said company and the South and North Alabama Railroad com- pany. At the hearings in said court on the applications for restraining orders and injunctions pendente lite, the railroad commission of Alabama were represented by able counsel. including the attorney general of the state, and thus the states designated representatives became parties thereto. This company has, in comp- ance with the orders of said court. given a bond and stands ready and willing to give additional bond from time to time. as may he required. to protect the inter ests of all concerned. should the final de- cision in that litigation be adverse to it's contentious. Since March 30 1907 the freight and passenger rates in contro- versy have been suspended in accord ance with the express provisions of the laws of Alabama, and the enforcement of such rates has been duly enioined. Neither this company, nor any of It's offi- cers. agents or servants, has violated any provision of said laws. As the reduced rates have been suspended, and their er forcement enioined. they were not In force. and the non-observance of same, therefore. does not constitute public of fense Under the circumstances I beg leave to deny your accusation that this company Is violating these laws every day.
 Such proceedings having been thus in- stituted have been acquiesced In by you as governor and all state officials for more than four months without my question of their validity. and should be prosecuted to a conclusion in an orderly and lawful manner. The Louisville and Nashville Railroad company is a law abiding citizen and has in the past, and trust will always in the future. com ply with all legislative enactments, re- serving the inherent right of all citizens.

 Railroad Question CORRESPONDENCE IN FULL After Governors Threat to Gall Spe- cal Session of Legislature Pres
 idens Smith Grows Some
 what Angry.
BY HERVEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery, September 7-tSpecial)- J. The correspondence between Governor B. B. Conner of Alabama and Milton H. Smith, president of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, now made public by the railroad company serves to give an insight into the efforts of the two sides to get each to see the side of the other as he saw 1t. MT, Conner held that the road is violating the laws of the state in not accepting the new enactments with regard to freight and passenger rates, while MT. Smith holds that these laws being suspended by court of competent therefore be violated.
 In his letter after the governor had said he would call the legislature together Mir. Smith asked why the state should sand bag" the railroads. Also he accused the methods of MT. Conner as being those of highwaymanv"your money or your life''
 The letters of the governor are all look ing to settlement of the differences without conflict, though with full ob- servance of the state acts,

 Chief Executive Department Alabama. B. B. Conner, Governor.
 w. E. Fort, Private Secretary.
 Montgomery, August A. 19O1 Hon. Milton H. Smith. President L. x N Railroad. Louisville Ky
 Dear Sir: Please allow me to call your attention that the legislature of Alabama in recent session enacted laws making certain regulations for railroads regard ing the passenger and freight rates. Your road is violating these laws every day. You, of course, understand that my position is to see the full execution of same. I feel sure that if I could have full, free conference with your manage ment that we could adjust these matters so as to avoid friction. The people of Alabama wish to live in the utmost ac- cord with all the public service corpora- tions. I think further that the public service corporations will in the end sc- cure their best interest by conceding many things along this line which they might think detrimental to some of their interests.
 I will be here at the executive office on August 21 and %. and will be glad to meet with any representative of your road with authority from your company to discuss the necessity of the observance of the Jaws of this state by your conl- pany. Yours very truly.
 (Signed) B. B. CONFER,
 Governor.

individual or corporate, to obtain de- elsion in the court having undoubted Jurisdiction of the subject matter, and having responded to these legal pro- eeedings and become parties thereto, all law-abiding citizens should cooperate to secure an early adjudication and abide by the result therein. I respectfully submit that you, us a citizen and the chief executive of the state of Alabama, should also cooperate in securing speedy and final adjudication of these matters in the courts of justice, Any other course on your part would tend to obstruct the course of public justice, and place you in the attitude of violating in your individual capacity the laws of the state of Alabama, as well as of the United States, which attitude I assume you do not wish to occupy.
 Believing that the questions in contro- versy should be adjudicated in the man. ner above indicated, feel that nothing could be accomplished by the interview proposed by you, and you are, therefore, informed that the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad company will not be rep resented at the conference suggested, nt the executive office on the Fist and End instant, Yours truly,
