 Since. under the set regulating in-
 terstAte commerce. the railroads are
 required. on and after August l. 1908.
 to collect the advanced rates publish
 ed and filed with the Interstate Com
 merce Commission. we were further as-
 sured, that if for q short time Ala
 bama receivers and consumers should
 pay the advanced rates, and should
 make application to the Interstate
 Commerce Commission to require the same to be refunded. the railroads
 would not resist the appiication; the idea being to place the people of Ala bama upon q footing with those of Georgia, and not to collect the Ad- vances here when they could not be collected In the other State. by reason of the injunction.
 To withhold Injunction. In view of what has been above stated. we suggested that 1t would be proper to withhold filing an injunction suit in Alabama for the present. to await the decision of Judge Speer in the Georgia case and the application of the railroads to the Interstate Commerce Commission.
 Receivers of freight in Alabama should keep an account of the ad.
 vances in freight paid by them over and above the rates prevailing prior to August 1, 1908, in order that they
 may be- prepared to make application to the Interstate Commerce Commits sion for the refund of the amount paid as aforesaid Yours very truly,

MUCH INTEREST
ACTION OF CITY COUNCIL CLOSELY
 WATCHED.
The Paving of Broad and water Streets As Recommended' by special Committee Being
 Agifated
Advertiser Bureau,

Selma. July 31., Local interest in centered on the ac- ton of the city council next Monday night when contracts for paying Broad and Water streets will be awarded.
 The committee in charge of the work will make its report with rec comendations and the council, to a great extent will be guided thereby.
 Broad street 1t to be paved with as- phalt and Water street with brick. This was decided because Water street handles most of the heavy wholesale freight of the city and 1t was thought asphalt could not. economically, stand the wear and tear. Brick was there fore decided on. F Broad street. the retail shoping dis trict, and site of the hotels, 1t was thought best to pave with asphalt, for although the traffic here Is greater. 1t is of lighter nature. The commit tee has nothing to say on the subject now, in fact 1t can only reccomend, for the council will have the decision of the awards in hand.
 Many bids have been received from Southern and Northern concerns, some of them said to be very reasonable.
