 ISSUES COUPONS Rebate Will Be Given if Law is
 Sustained NEW FORM OF A TICKET Railroad Will Give Passengers Half Cent Per Mile Rebate When the State Law Is Decided Con-
 stitutiona.

Agents in every ticket office in Ala bama have been supplied by the Louis vile and Nashville railway with a new form of ticket bearing an attachment containing a rebate coupon. The coupon is good for one-half cent per mile in the event that the company loses It's sult In the federal courts regarding the two ana one-half cent clause provided by the legis- lature for the state of Alabama. The new form of ticket and the instructions re- garding it were sent out over the state by the headquarters Sunday.
 It is generally supposed that this ac- ton on the part Of the officials ot the road is to forestall an extra session or the legislature, and to comply wl'h the law in an indirect way should 1t be com peled to retreat from the position IL has held for the past two weeks re- gardng the new two and one-half cent

passenger rate. The coupons were issued by the corporation without notice to the general public, and the action of the road is a surprise to many who have reduced rate.
 It is seen from the circular issued to agents that they are authorized to give coupons in connection with interline tick cts to all points in the state, except on connections with the Southern Railway the Frisco System, the Mobile and Ohio and the Alabama Great Southern. A number of railway men of other systems expressed their opinion of the matter last night, and the general concensus of opinion was that the attempt of the Louisville and Nashville to comply with the technical provisions of the law, with out meeting it's spirit as has been done by a number of other lines, would not be acceptable to the general public or to the lawmakers of the state.

 Negro Killed.
 Saturday night on tine Crenshaw place near Harres in this county occurred a killing in which William Crenshaw was the victim of a pistol shot fired by Tom Smith, both parties being negroes.
 Just what caused the trouble is not known. There was the usual Saturday night pay supper and a number of ne- groes were gathered around quarrelng and playing. guying and making sport of each other Suddenly Tom Smith pulled his pistol and fired two or three shots. William Crenshaw cried out he was shot and Is said to have remarked: Pom. what did you shoot me for?' 'I never shot you Tom is said to have re- piled. You know you did, too," was the rejonder of the victim and he fell over dead.
 Deputy Sheriff Arthur Williams was at the scene of the shooting few hours after it's occurrence. but Tom Smith had made good his escape. and had not been heard from at this writing.

GAME LAWS ENFORCED.
In One County the Officials Had to Pay
 Heavy Fines.

Montgomery, September 16-(Special.)- J. While there are no means at hand of estimating the number of hunters li- censes that will probably be issued this year. yet it Is a significant fact that a large number of probate judges have written to the state game and fish com missioner for more hunters licenses blanks, having sold already those sent ! them, and the hunting season is not yet fully opened. Sportsmen realizing the fact that all hunters licenses expire on December 31 seem to be providing them selves, and being thus duly equipped they will be ready to invade the fields and enjoy the excellent sport that will await them when the hunting season is fully on.
 John H. Wallace. Jr., state game and hsh commissioner, has instructed the county wardens that no infraction of the game and fish law would be tolerated. How well his instructions are being car ried out is evidenced by the fact that in one county the state senator sheriff and the county solicitor were convicted under the game law. The following item from the Florence Herald" shows how the law is regarded in the county of Lauder dale
 The Herald says: 'rhe new game law is being rigidly enforced in Lauderdale county, regardless of the offenders, wheth- CT of high or low degree. The motto of the officers seem to be, Hew to the line, let the chips fall where they may as the following incident will prove. Nick Vim. and pr. Brock went to the farm of MT. Williams near Centre Star to shoot doves, being under the impress sion that the season was open for the killing of those birds. MT. Williams joined the two men in hunt on his own 1 nd 1Ia, of shot. Result-Mr. Williams and MT. Winn were taken before a justice of the peace at Centre Star while Dr. Brock appeared before Justice Lamay and were heavily fined. This shows that the game law is not a dead letter and it also shows that ignorance of the law supposing that the season is open Is not being accepted as an excuse The parties fined satisfied that justice was meted out in their cases"

In some manner he was overcome by the power fu fumes and this morning when his door was knocked upon to awaken him he was found cold in death.
