 A box car in freight train that passed Troy just before the e:3O o'clock passenger train was due from Moht- gomery jumped the track and the train being heavy and running on low grade, it ran about mile ana a half before the engineer discovered that anything was wrong.
 The cross ties were badly torn up for quite a distance.
 It was 6:3O o'clock this morning be- fore the passenger train could pass the wreck and proceed on it's way to Jack sonville.
 One of the stablemen. sent large automobile out to the wreck between II and 12 o'clock .E last night and brought five or six passengers to town, the rest of the passengers spent the night on the train.

and signing shall be entered upon the Journal etc.". Pss
 ! In the majority of instances, the bins apearing fin the Senate. Journal as hav- Ing been passed and signed by the President Carry at .tfe bottom of the bill that the bill was signed by the President, "in the presence" of the Senate. But the certificate at the bot tom of the bill enacting general prohi- bition omits to show that the bill was signed in the presence of the Senate. This allegation was brought out in the briefs of the counsei who nlauo arguments last February before the ] Supreme Court when the test cases were called. Very little attention was paid to the argument t that time and since until the last day or two when rumors pressed hard that the alleged omission may result fatally to the Dill. But of course, that is for the Court to say and it may take different view or it.
 In every instance in the Journal of the House of Representatives the at- test is explicitly made that the bill was signed. by the Speaker. in the presence of the House. In the House Consti- 'tntional Section 66 seems to have peen strictly observed as mandatory.
 But such rumors only tend to height en the suspense over the pending de- cision of the Supreme court Tn the test cases.

Rumors That "Dry Act"
 Was Faulty Are Premature

4 a 4i.s v q a Q
 that Montgomery correspondents of out-of- town papers were lhurriedly called to the Iong-dfstance phones to verify the rumora
 As matter of fact. as stated in The Advertiser of Tuesday. the Supreme Court adjourned Monday at noon until today to take up .eases submitted in the First Division. Therefore. the handing down of any decision was not to be expected until today. It is like 'ly, that the very imminence of the im- portant decision on the prohibition statute incubated the reports Of posi- tive action by the court ~ t
 The decision of the Supreme Court .onsthe prohibition act as well as, what Is known as the Nine O'Clock Clos ing" law is expected daily l.
 Naturally, when Dame Rumor works overtime like it did yesterday on, so vi- tai question. there Is a cry in some quarters for substance to, such reports. Instinctively everybody inf Montgomery yesterday who seriously interested himself in the prohibition law was ,ci- ted to Section 6e of Article 4 of the Alabama Constitution of 190k And when these parties read this section and took look at the Senate. Journal at the Capitol. there. was a spread ot alarm. Not iuntil recently. did the friends of the prohibition measure sit up and take such lasting interest in the attacks on thes law as they did when their attention was called to this sectloh Of the constitution. ssS |.
 The assailantss of the prohibition act loudly proclaim that the Senate 'Journ- Section, 66 of Article 1. This section reads as follows: l

 Not Too Cold For Sfrau Hats

to low area developing yesterday over northeast Mexico. It's apparent movement. of which was directly east ward over this section, was causing general cIoudness over the South. Il Is expected that 1t will have moved over this section by noon.
 The high area from the northwest Is expected to keep this low area from Mexico directly in its eastward path, diverting it from any tendancy to move in a northeastcrnly direction and pass to the north of Montgomery
 Farmers and truck gardners about Montgomery are pleased at the predic- ton of the bureau. For some time little rain has been needed on the spring gardens about Montgomery. and the light showers predicted for today will probably just meet the needs.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-04-09

Probable showers aresdue for Mont will contiue up to the afternoon or early night, when under the influence of high barometer area pushing in from the north west, cooler tempera- lures will be felt by night. The cool will notibe low enough to cause tenn porary abandonment of the straw and panama hats. but will make things seem a little more like spring and not so much like the beginning of summer.
 The low barometer area which was central over Utah, Tuesday has moved considerably eastward and to the north of this section. It was reported as central over Illinois yesterday. Gen eral but moderate rains were caused in the section covered, by the low.
