 NEW PLANT GOES ID WEST GADSDEN Campbell Manufacturing Csm- pany Selects Location RAILROAD BUYS LAND
The Louisville and Nashville Secures Eight Acres For $s2,ooo and Will Build Union Passenger Sta
 tion-New Realty Go.

Gadsden. February 1S.-(Special.)-At meeting of the stockholders of the Camp bell Manufacturing company it was de- cided to locate the big plant at point in West Gadsden where the railroads cross Twelfth street. This is a very de- siIable location, as every railroad enter ing the city, with the exception of the Chattanooga Southern, will be directly ae- cessible to the property. It is announced that work on the buildings will begin within the next 10 days and that the plant will be fully equipped and in operation in less than six months.

 The deal by which the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company acquires depot site and sufficient land for other purposes was formally closed today. The land transferred is located at the cross ing of the Louisville and Nashville tracks and Ninth street and comprises some thing more than eight acres. The price paid was sS2,OoO and this amount was paid over today when the deeds to the property were formally delivered.
 As the land is much more than IS necessary for depot purposes and the price paid no bargain-counter valuation, it is presumed that the railroad company has other uses for the property.
 President Smith has assured the city that a union passenger station, com mensurate with the city's needs, Will be erected in the near future, but it is sus- pected that some more extensive improve ments are in view. It is highly probable that the Louisville and Nashville will acquire the Chattanooga Southern, and in that event Gadsden would assume place of such importance on the line that shops and other buildings would become neees- sary.

Curiosity Not st,,IeJ.

A certain Tombs prisoner laLied in
fail almost penniless. He was man
who had figured in number of the
towns shady transactions, and his
name was pretty well known. A few
days after his Incarceration he wrote
to friend asking for monthly allow
ance of $40 to be continued during his
term of imprisonment. The friend, re
Numbering past favors, RENTED the
amount each month during a period
that covered two trials and the long
time intervening. One day 1t occurred
to him to inquire into the manner of
expanding the allowance. He supposed
1t was used to buy occasional extra
meals. n few cigars and newspapers,
but just as IL matter of curiosity he
asked for particulars. He found to
his establishment that the prisoner had
never ordered an extra meal and had
not smoked cigar all the time he had
been In Jail.
''Then what in thunder" demanded
the man, "have you been doing with
that $40 month";"
II subscribed to two press clipping
bureaus" replied the prisoner coolly.
"You don't suppose, do YOU. that l am
going to pass through this, the most
critical time of my life, without find
ing out what everybody has got to say

The Star chamhar.

Perhaps the most beautiful and origi-
nal scene of all in Mammoth cave Is
the star chamber. AT point in the
we'll l"iineh path one comes to the
brow of II gentle declivity and notes
that the roof of folded or fretted lime
stone had disappeared. The darkness
t. impervious to the rays of the lamps.
THE star chamber announces the
guide, and, bidding his visitors to put
their lights out and to look up, he dis
appears up n side passage. Slowly the
darkness above lightens II little; then
stars come out one by one and twinkle
merrily as in n real sky. A comet
shoots across the line of vision; then
the glory of the Milky Way appears.
The Illusion is perfect and the eXplana-
ton not far to seek.
The ceiling is heavily coated with
manganese dioXide and has been
pierced here and there with snowy
crystals of gypsum. The guides go be-
hind this ceiling. and the light from
their lamps produces the effect of a
miniature armament with the crystals
of gypsum for stars.-New York Post.

The Presidents Salary.

1t is safe to say that very few of the
people living in this country know how
the president of the United States
draws his salary of $4,000 year. OF
those few who may have given the
matter n thought, large majority do
not know whether he receives his sal
airy monthly, quarterly or semiannual-
ly. AS a matter of fact the salary due
the president is taken to the White
House by trusted messenger from the
Office of the treasurer of the United
States on the last day of each month
and handed over to the official whose
business it is to look after it. The
president receives his salary in the
shape of q check, the $4,000 being di-
vidcd into eight checks of 81, 1867 each
and four checks of S4,166.66 each.
Thus one month out of every three the
president receives ! cent less on his
check than he does the other two. Some
such arrangement as this is necessary,
as, of course, $4,000 Is not exactly di-
visible by twelve.

Where Rcd Hair is pisIiked.

In Cornwall. particularly the Lands

a person "a red haired Dane" though
In most parts of England. especially
inland. the expression would as likely

regarded as simply frivolous.
AT police court case heard in 1867
at Penzance town hall II came out in
evidence that the defendant had called
the complainant "a red haired Dane"
and this led to an assault. The strong
repugnance of Cornisl,men TO he dubbed
by this strange appellation is as strong
as ever.
