WRECKED WITH DYNAMITE.
Reward Of Over $1,000 is Offered for
the Dastardly offenders.

Cotter, Ark.-A dynamite explosion
heard five miles away, completely
wrecked the law and real estate Of
fee belonging to w. C. Brown. Re-
wards agregating $1,450 are offered
for the arrest Of the guilty.
The explosion occurred at about 9 80
O'Clock in the evening. The building.
a frame structure, sheeted with steel,
is total wreck. The floor and ceiling
were torn to splinters, all the furni-
ture was demolished, the building was
moved two or three feet from its
foundations, al doors and windows
were torn out, as were large sections
fthe walls.
By singular piece Of luck, the law
library was not so badly injured that
it cannot be used again.
A mass meeting resulted in the rails
ing Of the largfie reward. It is gea-
orally believed that the outrage was
perpetrated because Of a series Of
prosecution which Attorney Brown
has been carrying on, and was COM
mitted partly in a revengeful spirit
partl yto enforce the law.

SOUTHERN 0USTED
FROM ALABAMA
LICENSE OF BIG RAILWAY HAS
BEEN REVOKED
BY SECRETARY OF STATE
Frank n. Julian for Violation of Vio-
lation Of Senate Bill Number SO,
Which Became Effective July l,
Just Passed.

Montgomery, Ala.-The license OF
the Southern Railway to do business
in the state Of Alabama has been re-
voked by action Of Secretary Of State
Frank FL. Julian, who has caused
to be entered upon the stub Of UGH
license in the records Of his Office the
statement that for violation Of Senate
Bill No. Sc, approved March 1907, and
effective July l just passed, the South
ern Railway has been deprived Of its
right to do business in the state.
It is also fact that the action Of
the secretary Of state is not in opposi-
ton to restraining orders issued by
the United States court Of the Fifth
circuit, as this law is not among those
combatted by the railroads and not
included in any Of the litigation now
pending in the court Of Judge Thorn
as G.. Jones, Of the Middle Alabama
district. Hence the situation is not
that Of conflict Of the state and the
federal tribunals. While it may come
to this in the end, there is nothing It
1t yet.
The case upon which the revocation
was made out came from the circuit
court Of Talladega county in the
shape of a notification from Clerk j.
D. McNeal that a suit had been re-
moved from the state court to the
federal. Secretary Of State Julian
looked carefully into the law and
found that there was nothing else TO
do but mark the license cancelled as
the action Of the statute is automatic
The act provides that when any for
eign corporation is sued in the state
courts and removes such suit from the
state to the federal court, the clerk
Of the court from which the removal
was taken will at once certify such
action to the secretary of ttate "who
shall thereupon Immediately cancel

the stub thereof an order in sub

Suit has been fled in the Circuit
Court returnable at the September
term, in which E. w. Francisco, res
ident and hotelkeeper Of Flora, seeks
to secure the sum Of $500 and all
cost Of action including interest on
the unpaid claim, against the Home
Insurance Company. Of New York.
It appears Francico was the assignee
of policy issued by the defendant
company under the storm and tor
nado classification, the face value of
the policy being $500, and originally
issued to A. P. Rice, of Flora, who
made the assignment to Francisco in
1906. It happened that the two-story
hotel run by Francisco was damaged
by storm last fall in the amount NAM
ed in the suit and he applied to the
Home Company for the insurance
which the Company after referring
the matter to their adjustor refused
to pay. Hence the suit, which involves
more Of technical and legal than pc
cuniary interest, and the litigation
will be Of interest to the insurance

The Marshall county board Of su-

contracted for mules, wagon, plows,

county convicts on the roads. A COM

placed in charge Of the men. This
move is likely to bring results Of a
satisfactory nature. IL it is shown
that the roads can be improved with
convict labor the same will be true
with free labor, and the fact that we
need roads worse than almost any
thing else, will likely start move
