ROBSON CITY IS
 TO FIGHT AGAIN
ANOTHER EFFORT WILL BE MADE TO DISSOLVE THE EXCLUSIVE " NEGRO TOWN NEAR AN NISToN.

Anniston, July 13.-(SpecialO- lO-Hobson City. one of the few exclusively negro towns in the United States which is To- cated between Anniston and Oxford, al- most within stones throw of the cor porate limits of both cities, Is again in the limelight. At the coming extra session of the Alabama legislature another effort will be made to wipe 1t off the map.
 This reopens an old fight. A large ma jority of the citizens of both Anniston and Oxford have for many years objected to the existence of the negro town, and at the last session of the legislature a meas ure was passed which destroyed the in dividuality of the town, annexing 1t to Oxford by the extension of the city limits of the latter place. The negroes objected to the destruction of their own rights, however, and employed lawyers to fight the measure the law annexing the place to Oxford having been declared unconsti- tutional on account of a flaw in the title of the act
 Immediately after the law was defeated the people of Hobson City held an cleo tion for the various municipal offices, and the city resumed its autonomy They have conducted a very orderly place, the city having been greatly improved, be- coming quite a resort for the negroes, who are excluded from Oxford Lake mark, the popular Anniston resort for white citizens. A great many people have watched their efforts at self-government with interest, and would be glad to see their political independence conserved.

 The Indian Head mills at Cordova con- stitutes one of the largest and most com plete plants in the sate. In some respects 1t is the most complete plant in the world. 1t has not only the advantage of being located in the midst of the cotton fields but the back yard of the mill contains all the natural fuel that will be required for generations. This is perhaps the only cotton mill in the world standing In cot ton field and over the mouth of a coal mine. The Indian Head operates 27472 spindles and 984 looms.
 Besides the famous Indian Head cotton goods this concern manufactures an ex- elusive line of Canton flannel, said to be the finest quality and texture in the world. This latter product goes to China exclu- sively. The Chinese have reputation for the careful buying of fabrics and will have none but the very best. They take the entire output of the Indian Head mills.
 Scott Maxwell Is resident agent for the mill and Is considered one of the most progressive and practical mill men in the south. He is president of the Alabama Cotton Manufacturing association. one of the strongest organizations of the kind in the country.

WOODS HALL HAS
 BEEN REMODELED

University, July 13.-(Special.) )-The University of Alabama will open to the students this fall one of the hand somest college dormitories in the south. Woods hall, dear to the heart of many alumni as the "barrax" of old military days, has been completely re- modelled, interior and exterior, the improvements amounting to $30,OO0.
 The old building, which was erected soon after the war while planned as a military barracks and not for com- fort, was considered one of the strong est and most substantial structures in the state. It is to these indestructi- ble walls that the improvements are being made which will give the uni versity one of the handsomest, most convenient and scientific dormitories in the south.
 The building is four stories high and will accommodate about 20 students. The ground floor will contain the din- ing room, Young Mems Christian asso- citation roonS, postoffice, stewards of flee, etc., while three upper stories will be used as students apartments.
 The entire interior of the building has been changed. Fireplaces have been sealed up and steam heating ap paratus installed. The arrangement of rooms has been changed, and a number of marble finished shower bath rooms installed. New walls have been put in and new floors laid, with new light ing and plumbing throughout. The old doors and windows have been re- placed with stone facings. The old stairs have been removed and the ex- terior of the building has been made stucco to harmonize with the new buildings.
 The greatest change has been in the installation of a modern kitchen with complete equipment. The walls have white marble wainscoting and the floors tile over concrete. The remodel ing of Woods hall, while insignificant amid all the greater university build ing operations, will neverth eless fill a long-felt want in furnishing an up- to-date dormttory for the students.

Cordova, July 13.-(Special) )-There are always two sides to every proposition. I never realized this so much as since I visited the Indian Head Cotton Mills at Cordova.
 There has been much criticism of the methods employed by cotton mill opera tors in the employment of child labor, paying small wages and in the insanitary conditions of the mills and the homes of the employees.
 It is true that some mills are even worse than they can be pictured, but there are pleasing exceptions.
 The Indian Head mill presents one of the most striking examples of the ex- ception to the generally accepted rule in the state.
 It is heart rending to look upon the wasting faces of young womanhood and childhood in many of the mills of the south, go into the miserable novels they call home and look upon the filth and degradation the marks of disease and vice. To see the hope, life vigor and the fill the pockets of heartless operators with dimes and dollars.
 Beautiful Homes.
 At Cordova I saw none of this and I went into the homes of the people when I was not expected. They were clean and inviting. The large, airy houses are patnted inside and out at least once a year, and the premises are kept in a cleanly, sanitary condition by a paid in- spector and force of scavengers, who do nothing else but look after these mat ters. They are paid by the mill manage ment. saw books, newspapers and mu- sical instruments in almost every home. There was every evidence of refinement and comfort. Most of the families have cows, chickens and small gardens, and l am told by the bank officials and mer- chants that many of these people have small bank accounts.
 In the mill I found 800 men, women and children at work. The building is well ventilated and fresh air is constant ly forced onto every floor by ponderous

ALBERTVILLE HAS DREAMS

Gadsden, July S.-(special)-At the meeting of the city council last night the principal matter for consideration was the attitude of the Alabama City, Gads- den and Attalla Railway company in ref erence to the proposed street paving. The company has taken the position that under the charter granted 1t and the va rious ordinances passed heretofore by the city relative to the interests of the com pany the city has no power to compel the company to bear any part of the bur den of street paving. At the meeting last night a committee was appointed to wait on the company, and 1t is hoped that in a conference the matter can be amicably arranged.
 The people of Albertville, the Sand mountain metropolis, have project on foot to secure from the coming legisla- ture the establishment of a court at that place to accommodate the citizens of the lower end of Marshall county. Gunters- ville the county seat, is up on the Ten nessee river, and far removed from many of the residents of the county Hepresen- tative Coleman of the county is favoraple to the cause, and is at present engaged in framing the bill. The people of Gun tersville are naturally opposed to the measure, and it is not improbable that if the matter is once before the legislature strong fight will be made against 1t. Meanwhile Albertville dreams of new laurels.

RAISES
DELICATE
QUESTION
Validity of New Supreme Court
Act Is Presented to
that Tribunal.

Judge Thos. O'Day, appearing as
counsel for Sam Cochran, in the
case of the state VS. Cochran, filed
brief in the supreme court in
which the constitutionality of the
act of the Legislature increasing the
justices of the supreme court from
three to five members is the princl-
pal issue. Martin L. Pipes also ap-
pears with Judge O'Day (amicus
curiae) affirming the constitutional
ity of the act.
The appellant in this case was in
dicted under the local option law
for selling intoxicating liquors in
the city of St. Johns. 1t is claimed
on behalf of the defendant that the
local option law in the territory
comprising St. Johns was amended
by the Incorporation of st. Johns by
a special charter and that the To-
cal option law was not applicable
to the city. The case was then ap-
pealed to the supreme court and the
conviction of the defendant was re-
Versed by a divided court.
1t so happened, states the brief
that one of the justices of the court
as formerly constituted, and the two
justices appointed under the act of
the Legislature concurred in the re-
versal, while two constituting the
court as formerly organized, dis
sented.
The attorney general and the dep
uty district attorney of MultnOmah
county fiied a motion requesting the
court to enter an order making the
opinion of the dissenting judges
the majority opinion and to enter
a mandate that the judgment of the
lower court was affirmed, claiming
that the act of the legislature in
adding two justices of the supreme
court was unconstitutional and
void, and the justices so added were
not justices of the court.
The brief filed today is in oppo-
sition to the motion of the attorney
general. The brief states that the
question to be raised by the mo-
tion is a political question and not
judicial. 1t is contended by Attor-
ney O'Day and his constituent that
the supreme court cannot hear or
determine the question of it's own
legal existence or constitution.
"The contrary views lead to an
absurdity," quotes the brief. for
IL the court can decide the ques-
tion at all it must be able to
decide it either way, and if they
should decide that in rendering
