BEFORE THE COMMISSION.
Lawyer and Witnesses for the City In
RaleIQh.


Lawyer and Witnesses for The City In
Raleigh.
The city closed its case pefore
the corporation commission We'd
nesday afternoon when Col. w.
B. Rodman. for the Southern,
and Mr.. F. L. Fuller, for the
Seaboard. demurred at the con-
clusion Of the city's testimony
and put up no witnesses Of their
own.
City Attorney Everett with
Messrs. T. B. Fuller, w. T. Cole,
C. w. Massey, G. B. Green, j.
A. Warren, G.. G. Farthing, T.
E. Belvin. G. C. White. w. T.
Blackwell and W. T. Darlington
went down Wednesday. The
city put on these gentlemen as to
the lay of the land and Mr.. White
was introduced to give intelli-
gence to the, pictures that he
made of the grounds when he
was engineer. Incidentally the
Gregson street crossing was re-
ferred to in such 4 way as to
make good testimony for the
city.
The city is proceeding against
the railroads in question under
. special act of the general as
sembly Of 1905. That body gave
the right of way through Alston
avenue and was made for Dur
ham alone. The road If built un-
der this point. will not be near
the Durham Cotton kanufactur-
ing company. near East Durham,
but between the two places,
Durham and East Durham.
There are five tracks at this place
and the subway span would be
nearly fifty feet to give the city
plenty of room and. protection.
The street is to be 46 FEET wide,
with allowances for the sbut-
ments of eight feet each. The
excavation ID to 60 through 1872
feet, or an entire block and to
get under the bridge will cost
A,500 before q track is propped
up. The structure for temper
ary purposes, will cost the COM
panies at least $1,000 and the
bridge complete will be an ex-
pense of $40, ,0O0. There are 15,-
600 cubic yards of dirt to be
taken out.
This matter taken before the
commission has been long a con-
tention between the city and the
roads. The Gregson street SUBJ
way is remembered by every
body here. The Aston is ex-
pected to take this same course.
Before everything was settled
the grand jury took a hand in
that matter and it is expected
that a petit jury will settle this
one. There is every reason to
think there will be a trial in Dur
ham county courts.
The act Of 1905 which gave
Durham the right Of way to this
place carried with it the giving
|of power to the corporation CON-
mission to order the work done.
It has been in the air that long.
The commission has, upon all
points. been with the city, and
the course of the attorneys in
putting up no testimony, indi-
Gated their belief that the COM
mission is yet with the city in
the matter at law.

 Rock who was formerly in the land servcie of the government, | and who has been attorney for many persons who have lands in the St. Francis sunk land district. left last night to look after the lights of others in Mississippi county he are in the same con- alton as were those in the sunk land district. He goes to look af- ter the injunctio to prevent the occupants of the disputed lands rom cutting timber from it. In a short time he will go to Wash ington, D. C., to appear before the United States Land Commissioner in order to get a new survey or | dered for the lake regions of Miss issisippi county and the opening of the unsurveyed lands for sett.e- .Aent. In Mississippi county as in the St. Francis river district. there is a great deal Of lands, 4O.- OOO acres which appears on the government maps as lakes when in reality it is the finest of agricu,- tural and timber lands. How it appeared cannot be explained, but them aps which were made in 1S4O show many thousands of acres in North Arkansas as lakes. when it ish igh and dry. There are settlers on the most of this land and there are others who claim it, principally, saw mills.
 None of them can show title and suits which have gone from the courts there to the Su- preme court have failed to settle the dispute. Attorney Teller will vii. take to Washington sections of white oak trees 15 feet in cir conference and over 300 years old, a.sO rock e.m and ash which never grow on water, al. Of which were taken from the dis puted land, showing that it was not covered by water when the surveys were made. If the gov ernment takes possession of this dis puted land and orders i t surveyed the present occupants will have 90 days after which the plats have been filed to homestead it under the present homestead law
 but they vii. not be allowed tims foI the years they have lived up- on it. Some of the land is so much higher than that which was mark ed as land on the p,ats of 184O and when almost the entire Miss issipp icOunty was flooded this part remained out of the water and on it Hooked many deer and other game to escape the water.

Best Stomach
 Remedy Free

It is an old saying that if the stom- ach is sound the whole body is safe. because so much depends upon the proper working of the stomach. Many persons find themselves with dis order of the stomach which pro- duces dyspepsia or peculiar state of biliousnesS.
 If you suffer from both stomach trouble very serious disease. From just such con- ditions come appendicitis, rheumatism. skin diseases and similar disorders, be- cause the waste matter that should have been dispelled from the system through the bowels has found its way into the blood and vitiated it. What is needed at this point is not simply violent cathartic tablet or salt which usually does moro harm than good. but a gentle laxative tonic like Dr.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. tury. It cured J. c. Lanham, of War rensburg, Mo. of stomach trouble of long standing, also William Voll. of sos Ellis son St., Louisville. Ky, who had the trouble for fifteen years.
 However. If you have stomach trouble you want to know from personal expert ence what Dr. Caldwelfs Syrup Pepsin will do for you. If so send your name to the doctor and free trial bottle will be sent you. You are urged to send for the free bottle. as the results from it will be the best recommendation Of pr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin. Then you will do as over two million people did last yearEgo at 50 cents or $1, according to the size you prefer. We could mention hundreds and hundreds of families who are never without 1t. You can never tell when some member of the family will need a laxa- tive and then no time should be lost taking b..
