BEGIN SURVEY OF.
PROPOSED ROAD

Decatur, May 31.-(Special.) -Work COM
menced this morning on the survey of
new railroad from Decatur to the new
town of Falls City, located at Clear Creek
falls, in Winston county, some so to 70
miles from Decatur. The survey was
commenced this morning at Bashams
gap for the purpose of determining the
best route to cross the mountain and the
amount of grade required. When this is
ascertained the survey will then be con-
tinued until it is completed all the way
to Decatur
DIR. D. w. Day of Hartselle, the
founder of Falls City was in Decatur to-
day and stated that the length of the pro-
posed road would be about so miles. IIe
said that the greater part of the money
with which to finance the building of the
road had been raised and thought there
would be no doubt as to the early COM
pletion of the road. 1t is the intention
later to extend the road on from Falls
City to Tuscaloosa. This would give
river connection at both ends of the road;
the Tennessee river at Decatur and the
Black Warrior at Tuscaloosa. Hence this
would give all eastern Alabama the very
lowest freight rates to the cities in the
north and the cites of the south and for
eign countries.
The proposed road would open up
rich section OF mineral timber and agri-
cultural lands. 1t is said that almost I'M
limited Holland capital is behind the en-
terprise and that Holland colony will
likely DE established in Winston county
near Falls City.

Negro May Hang

For the first time in eight years there
may take place at the county jail a legal
hanging on Friday, June 9. Everything
is In readiness for the execution. and 1t
will take place as scheduled unless the
state board of pardons interferes.
The condemned prisoner is Freeman
Harrell, a negro. At a recent term OF
the court Earrell was tried for the MUIR
der Of Nancy Toodle, a young negro
girl. The jury in the case returned the
death penalty and the case was appealed
to the supreme court, which after consid-
ering the case sustained the verdict of the
lower court
Since the verdict of the supreme court
was announced the attorney for Harrell
has petitioned the state board of par
dons to change the sentence to one of
life Imprisonment. The matter is still
before that body, which may render g
decision any day. Sheriff Doherty has
made no arrangements for the execution
as no gallows will have to be built. The
Jail has a gallows in one of the towers
which can be placed in good condition
within a very short while.
