Bailey, president and general manager of the Planters Manufactur- ing company, stated last night that in addition to the removal of the cord mill from Rhode Island to this city to be combined with the local plant, the hammock factory of the Hoffman-Corr Manufacturing company of Philadel- phia would likely be removed here also. Messrs. Hoffman and Bodine, who have been in the city several days, left last night to make definite conclusions in regard to this project.
 Besides the other Improvements at the Planters mill an effort which will likely succeed is being made to get the car line of the Anniston Electric and Gas company extended to the plant. The matter has been taken up with Manager Rand in this city and MT. Hoffman will soon go to New York to consult the general office about the matter.
 A large amount of the new machinery for the new mill has already been re- ceived, and will be installed at an early date. The mill will be extended 16O feet, and the machinery of the Rhod Island mill will likely be re- ceived next week.

Information has come that trains Nos. 23 and 24, on the Alabama Great Southern, between Gads- den and Chattanooga, and the Carters- vile accommodation out of Anniston on the Louisville and Nashville, have been discontinued, the former by taking off the train and the latter by taking the coach from the mixed train.

It is expected that by the middle of the week the service will be restored. Excuse that the trains were handling interstate busi- ness has not been accepted as sufficient.

WETUMPKA NOW
 HAS FREE BRIDGE
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS BUY OLD LANDMARK OVER cooSA RIVER AND IT WAS THROWN OPEN TO PUBLIC YESTERDAY.

Wetumpka, February 17.-(Special.)- After several months discussion of the matter between the commissioners of FL more county and the Wetumpka Bridge Co, Wetumpka today has free bridge
 Last July during a session of commits sioners' court steps were taken toward the erection of a new bridge across the Coosa river at this point. A new free bridge would naturally have put the toll bridge out of commission, so the direc- tors of the Wetumpka Bridge Co. have been endeavoring to sell the present struc- ture to the county.
 The trade was consummated Saturday and today the commissioners freed the bridge in the name of Elmore county. The town is filled with people from the surrounding country and expressions or rejoicing are heard on all sides.
 Elmore county has the distinction of having had three toll bridges-almost the only ones in Alabama. The bridge at Tallassee and one connecting Fillmore with Montgomery are still toll bridges, as the wetumpka bridge had been for nearly three quarters of a century
 A wooden structure built by negro spanned the river and those who crossed it paid fare for 50 years. The high waters of 1886 washed this bridge away, and the present iron structure was completed in 1887. Capt. H. H. Robison, civil war veteran, has been the bridge keeper for a score of years and the little bridge office has been spot where Wetump- lsians, travelling men and all who passed this way liked to stop and chat with the genial gatekeeper.
 Charles B. Gaddis, who was recently appointed to the Naval academy at An napolis by Congressman Thomas Heflin left Saturday for Annapolis. MT. Gaddis was an alternate for Crumley Penning- ton, who was called home on account of serious illness of his father MT. Pen nington underwent a serious surgical operation Saturday, and his condition is now much more favorable for recovery.
