REDUCING FORCE
WORK OF INFRINGEMENT STILL
 GOES ON.
Louisville snd Nashville Has Made Numerous Reductions h Past Few Days-Birmingham Suffers
 Most

The reduction in forces on the Louis- vile and Nashville has reached the roadway and transportation depart ments and 8 saving of several thous- and dollars a month has already been made in the local yards of the Mobile and Montgomery division alone. Be- sides the two yard engines and crews that were taken off In the South and North yards two local freight trains running between Montgomery and Mo- bile, with their crews, have been an- nulled.
 Two men. on day and one night. were taken off of the car inspector'5 forces in the train shed at the union passen- ger depot and two from the same de- partment at the South and North yards. Between Montgomery and Mo- bile something over forty track men have been dropped by the M. and M.
 division. This makes over SO men that have been dropped within tho past few days. and means a saving to the com pany of $3,7s0 in round numbers and loss to the Montgomery merchants of fully $2.000 month. On the South and North division things are even worse. In the general offices at Bir- mingham 16 men have been dropped, clerks, copyists, operators, stc, In talk
 ing of the matter yesterday 4n L. and
 N. man said that the number of men
 who have been let out in the Birming-
 ham district and the number of freight
 trains that have been taken off would reach surprisingly large figure. The round house at Birmingham, he said. Is full of engines that are idle because of the fact that SO many of the trains l have been cut out It Is estimated that these reductions have cost the mer-
 chants of Birmingham over s12.000. Between Birmingham and Decatur it Is the same story, while in compari- son with the size of the towns 1t Is | said that the merchants of Decatur are feeling the reductions as keenIy as
 those of Birmingham. while Mobile is suffering as much as Montgomery. Yesterday was distinctively day of late trains at the union station. Short
 ly after o'clock yesterday morning | the Westerns train 37. due here at 11:40 Sunday night. came in. over eight hours late, caused by the South
 ern above Atlanta. At 8 o'clock in the afternoon t.ie L. and N. train No. 1, from Cincinnati and Chicago. due at II a. m. got In four hours late, caused by a wreck above Nashville. Both the
 L. and N. train from Mobile and the one from Nashville were late last night the Mobile train being an hour and thirty minutes late, caused by bad heather and engine trouble.

EXCHANGE OF CONTRACTS.
New Orleans Cotton Exchange Explains Method of Business.


 New Orleans. Jan. 6.-The New Dr. leans Cotton Exchange tonight issued an official pamphlet. describing in de- tail the method of trading in cotton futures on this Exchange.
 The statement advocated the abolt- tion of bucket shop trading from the South's cotton bushes. The underlying principle of trading on this Exchange was declared to be the fact that with out exception. the daily buying and selIing is the eexchsnRe of contracts for actual cotton which have been made by responsible merchants, most of them in some branch of the cotton producing or consuming industry.
 The future contract is binding in every way" the statement says. "It contemplates the delivery of actual cotton in the month specified, and there is no way for a man or firm to violate It's terms and conditions without inc curing expulsion from the exchange and financial ruin."
 A bucket shop Is defined as an En- stitution which bets with it's customers upon the outcome of prices as deter. mined by actual purchases and sales of cotton on legitimate exchanges.

when it comes to the older folks. as
Shakespeare said when he was doing
his Christmas shopping AYE, there's
the rub
The clerks in the stores act as in
formation bureaus and by their long
experience are able to furnish many
helpful suggestions and ideas to the
disturbed shopper, who often depends
entirely upon the wisdom of the clerk
The pleasant weather of the past
few days has been taken advantage OF
by many who do not care to be out
when it is cold and stormy, yet Christ
mas shopping seems to go forward
with better vim, when there is snow
upon the ground and winter winds are
blowing.
It's thing which just must be done
and weather cannot interfere with
plans after they have once been laid
1t is always good advice however, to
do your holiday shopping early.

you knew as well as we do how good prep
aration kodol is for Indigestion and dyspepsia it
would be unnecessary for to guarantee single
bottle.
But to get you to know how good it is as well
as we know, we practically will purchase the first
bottle for you.
You wonder, perhaps, how we can afford to
make such an offer-It is because we have abso-
lutte confidence in the honesty and fairness of the
public
We know there thousands of persons who
suffer from indigestion and dyspepsia. who would
be grateful to us for putting them in touch with
Kodol.
That is why
Furthermore. know that after you have
used Kodol your faith in the preparation will be
equal to ours.
This proposition we make is not altogether
unsefsh, but it is actuated by the knowledge
that the of Kodol by you will benefit you as
well as ourselves.
How could we afford to make such an offer
to the public, and how could afford to spend
thousands of dollars to tell you about it unless
positively knew and were sure of the merits of
Kodol?
We couldn't-it would bankrupt us.
But we know the merits of Kodol and we want
you to know
Use Kodol as directed and it cannot fail to
help you.

BADLY INJURED
IN LADDER FALL
c. II. Gray, Foreman of the O. A. Tai
bott Grain Elevator Fell From
Ladder Yesterday AZ
ternoon.
CEREBRAL COMPRESSION
Compression Of the Brain Was Caused
From the Accident Which
is of Very Serious
Nature.

c. H. Gray, foreman of the large Tai
bolt elevator and residing at First
and Bank streets, met with quite a
serious accident yesterday afternoon,
at $50 o'clock
Mr.. Gray was on the outside of the
elevator and had climbed to the top
of grain door on ladder which was
the contents of the car. In some I'M
known manner the ladder slipped from
under him as he was about to descend
and he was precipitated to the ground
quite hard.
On striking the ground his head was
hurt and it was at first thought that
the foreman's skull was cracked, but
this morning the doctor in attendance
stated that the result of the fall had
caused cerebral compression of the
brain and it was not known at the
time how serious Gray's condition
was An accident of this kind causing
compression on the brain is not of
slight consequence and the outcome
of the accident cannot be ascertained
as to severity of his injuries.
The place from where Gray fell be-
ing on the outside of the building and
the ground being hard on account of
freezing would naturally cause an in
jury to some part of the body al
though Mr. Gray's fall was only eight
feet from the ground.
After the accident DR.. B. F. Dorsey
was called to attend the injured man
and he was removed to St. Joseph's
hospital where he is resting as easily
1 as could be expected from an accident
of this kind and it is hoped that his
4 injuries will not prove fatal.
