BURGLAR GETS $500
STORE AT CAIRO HOLLOW ROBBED
 OF MONEY.
Clerk for NobIett and Co. Saw Thief Leaving the PIRce--BlOOdhOunds Are Trailing the Strange
 Man.

Athens. March 1.-(Special)-The store of Noblett and Company, at Caro Hollow, in the extreme western part of the County, used as a commissary for a large stave mill plant, was en- tered last night by a burglar and $500 and a check for S200 were stolen.
 The clerk closed the store as usual and went to his supper. forgetting the large sum of money left in the cash drawer. While eating his supper he thought of the cash and hurried to the store to find 1t open. He saw man leaving the place. He called to him but no attention was paid to him and he hurried into the store and secured a revolver and followed the fleeing man. firing at him six times without effect. He escaped in the darkness with the cash.
 The owners telephoned to Lawrence burg, Tenn, for dogs and they reached here at noon today and were carried out to the scene of the burglary but 1t is feared that the heavy rains fallen all day will prevent any trail by the man-hunters They have a clew to the burglary and he may be rounded up.

Botvie Talks on Settlement
 of Old State RaiLroad Bonds.

An important memorial relating to State bonds issued in aid of the Mont gomery and Eufaula Railroad. was pre- sented to the Legislature yesterday. Hon. Sidney J. Bowie says of this me- morial and the subject matter:
 'The memorial referred to Eelates to an issue of 300 bonds in aid of. the Montgomery and Eufaula Railroad. au- thorized by the act of the Legislature, March, 1870. Every requirement. of the act was strictly compiled with, as shown by the memorial, and the exist ence and genuineness of the bonds has never been questioned or denied. The bonds were purchased in the open mar ket in absolute good faith. One of the memorialists, the Newark Savings ln- stitution. purchased 100 of the bonds at 90 cents on the dollar and interest, on October 10, 1870, and the identical bonds have been in their ownership and possession from that day to this. The other bonds were sold at 95 cents on the dollar and interest, and the present holders have held them for over thirty years. So there is no Ques- ton of the bonds having gone into the hands of spectators for song.
 Every dollar of the net proceeds of the bonds was applied to the purpose of the act, the completion of the build ing of the Montgomery and Euraula Railroad to Eufaula- The road was built and has been in continuous op- eration from that day to this.
 'grhe issuance of the bonds is shown upon the reports of the State Auditor: 1t is shown In message of Governor Smith to the Legislature, and in sew eral messages from Governor Lindsay, as we'll as in the report of the Debt Commission in 1876. The interest was paid by the State for several years, and default was made on the interest of these bonds, only when 1t was made on all other bonds of the State.
 state Received Full Value.
 '-rhe State not only received full value for the bonds in the completion of the road as contemplated in the act, but also received a second mortgage on the road, and a like amount of railroad bonds with like interest in lieu there of. These railroad bonds, in them selves having an intrinsic value for series of third mortgage bonds of the same road amounting to $200,O00, sold a year later for $10OIO0O in cash.
 'SThe only objection that ever has been made to these bonds, relates to the times and conditions under which these and similar acts were passed; but 1t, must be remembered that these bonds were not sold for song. they were not sold to spectators and the proceeds diverted from their original purpose to fraudulent ends, but In pur- suance of a settled State policy, the money received went into an important and valuable internal improvement
The Montgomery advertiser., 1907-03-02

without which the road could not have been completed at that time
 Our present constitution forbids the State embarking in internal improve ments. but at the early period of our States development, it would have been utterly impossible to build many lines of road without State aid, and this and eother lines were so built in pursuance of fixed general policy which was not changed until 1875.
 Tt is impossible to conceive the State receiving all the benefits of a transaction of this sort and afterwards repudiating its burdens. All other straight State obligations. including many issued under identica1ly the same circumstances. and by the same pollt- teal regime. were adjusted and settled in 1876. and we are now paying inter- est upon the same.
 BondhoIders Hold Up Settlement.
 ''The only reason these bonds were not presented for settlement then, wa B that the holders thereof were advised that they could get only 50 cents on the dollar therefor. As they had paid 90 to 95 cents on the dollar in the ut- most good faith, only a few years be- fore, their objection to this sacrifice was only natural It might have been wiser for them to have accepted the best settlement they could get then. but they are certainly not to be cen- sured or oulawed because they had faith in ultimately getting something better from the State than one-half of their principal
 "The memorialists only ask an op- portunity to be heard If they cannot clearly prove the genuineness of these bonds, the bona fides of the sale, the full compliance with all the provisions of the statute. and the actual comple- ton of the road in accordance with it's provisions and their own utmost good faith, they will not expect relief A State which will not permit it's credi- tors to bring suit in a court to estab- fish their claims, certainly should not and will not deny fair and impartial hearing before the Legislature or an appropriate committee. We arc pre- pared to establish by indisputable evi- dence every statement set out in the memorial, ana believe no higher duty can rest upon the Legislature than to hear the same.
 ''This is a just debt of the State. The new constitution makes the State debt inviolate, and a preferred claim upon all of les revenues. On the face of each of these bonds, 1t is declared, the faith and credit of the State of Ala bama are hereby pledged for the pay ment of the principal and interest or this bond The honor, good faith and material welfare of the State, as well as of every county and municipality thereof. Is as much involved III Ilahli z a inst settlement of these bonds, as In paying it's interest and proviolns lor the principal upon the others.

 VIII obey Law.

Assistant District Attorney George W. Jones of the Louisville and Nssh- vile Railroad yesterday wrote a cir cular letter to every person in Ala bama who had received a pass from the Louisville and Nashville since Sat- urday, to recall all outstanding passes of that road which do not come within the exceptions of the anti-pass law Following is copy of the letter:
 Montgomery. Ala. March 1, 1907.
 Dear Sir-Col. Henry l.. stone. General Counsel, Louisville and Nash vilie Railroad Company, Louisville, Ky, wires me instructing that I recall all outstanding passes which do not come within the exceptions of the anti, pass laws. As I understand 1t, this action is taken in view of the provisions of Senate bill No. 43, which became a law last Saturday
 "As the Louisville and Nashville transportation held by you does not come within one of the exceptions. I will thank you to return the pass to me for cancellation, in order to avoid the possibility of q violation of the law by you and by me.
 T am sure that you know that 1t is source of regret to me and to our Louisville officials that VI are obliged to take this step.
 Yours truly,
 George W. Jones,
 Assistant District Attorney"
 'It has been the inviolable rule of the Louisville and Nashville" said Mfr. Jones, in speaking of the matter, ito adhere strictly to the letter of the laws of the States through which the Rail- road operates. The language of the law in question says plainly that any free transportation issued since last Saturday is invalid. There Is nothing left for us to do under the construction

HIGH WATER DELAYS TRAINS.
Trinity River Bridges Threatened BY
the Big Rise.

Houston, Texas, Nov. 25.-The Trim
ity river is on a rampage and as a re
suit the International & Great North
ern trains are running from two to
twelve hours late. A freight wreck is
said to have occurred early this morn
ing at a small station north Of Trim
ity. and this is said to have also caus-
ed considerable delay. The bridge
across the river at Trinity is reported
to be in an unsafe condition on ac-
count Of the high water and It is re-
ported that trains will not be run
over it until the water recedes and
an examination made Of the structure.
The Brazos bridge on the Missouri.
Kansas & Texas near Mcdowell is an
other bridge which is causing the
company great deal Of trouble. and
il requires a Waterman constantly on
duty to note conditions. The south
approach to this bridge is given to
caving in whenever a rise occurs in
the river. and trains are put under
snail's pace orders over the bridge.
