ROLLED IN ON ELLEN N"

Quite boost was given the 100000 in 1910 movement in Montgomery when big crowd of Western people stopped off in Montgomery from three crowded special trains that the Louisville and Nashville brought in yesterday morn ing.
 The big movement yesterday was the first of series that the Louisville and Nashville has inaugurated from the West to points in Alabama. Florida, Mississippi, etc. This movement is a little different from the regular home seekers rates which are in effect every first and third Tuesday of every month. The new rates are effective on the last Tuesday of every months and are even Tuesday of every month and are even rate, tn etickets being shade less than one fare for the round trip.
 That the new movement is popular Is shown by the of the Louisville and Nashville train No. from Chicago, St. Louis and Cincinnati yesterday morning. every section having about all the people that every car could handle. Only two sections went south. as a big number of the Westerners stopped in Mont gomery, numbers of them staying over in the city as prospective residents, many others /golng into the different sections of Montgomery County, oth- CTS going out on the afternoon subur- ban trains to the counties of Macon, Lee, Bullock. Russell, Barbour and all that section of Alabama.
 If the proper inducements are held out to them it is possible that big part of the people that stopped off in Montgomery yesterday morning can be induced to move here and make this city their permanent home. They came from Illinois. Indiana. Ohio and that section of the country, and that they want to make their homes in Mont gomery and Alabama generally is shown by the crowd that came down yesterday.
 The ones that did not stop of in Montgomery went on down the line of the NJ. and M, and to the number or several hundred will scatter all the way from the counties of Lowndes and Butler to the counties of Escambia' Baldwin and Mobile. This means big thing for Montgomery and>an Ala. bana, These prospectors all want new homes in Alabama and more desirable settlers could not be had, being thrifty, energetic and determined.
 Crowds 0f Nimrods.
 "I have been here long time" said a local railroad man yesterday, but never before, have seen as many 
 Thanksgiving hunts"
 From the looks of them yesterday the market for hunters licenses must have been hugely reinforced within the past few days. Every suburban train leaving the city yesterday, afternoon had anywhere from one to dozen or mora of men and. boys with guns and other essentials, the baggage cars hay- ing their full quota of dogs. Last night the night trains took out crowds If hunters. but the early trains this morning will take out the bulk Of the nimrods, numbers of them going out in the fields to spend~the day, not be- ing able to get away from their busi- ness yesterday afternoon or last night.
 Changes on the Western. L
 There will. be some radical changes in the passenger schedule of the West ern into and out of Montgomery next Sunday morning. The most important change and one that will be peculiarly pleasing to the people or selma ana along that division is that the present morning train from Selma to Montgom- cry will leave Selma at a. nn., instead of a. m., as at present, and get into Montgomery at 7:50 a. m.. instead of $50 a. m.. as at present. This train is now known as No. 3S. but begin- ming SunGay morning will be changed
 
 that the train arriving from Selma at s:5ka. m. has to wait at the Union Sta- tion one hour and fifteen minutes, con- meeting with train No. 40 that leaves for Atlanta at S:05 B. m Under the new schedule Sunday it will only have to wait at the station fifteen minutes for the leaving time ,of train No. 40 for Atlanta. This new No. 40 therefore, besides giving the people of Selma an hour longer in the morning will give them straight connection to Atlanta where that train makes direct connection with train No. 40 of the Southern for Wash ington. The parlor car that Is handled into Montgomery on train 37 at 9E55 D. m. will under this new schedule be returned to Atlanta on train No. 40 at S:05 a. m. Another change will be in the local passenger train No. s4. Instead of
