MARION INTERESTED. IN NEW RAILROAD.
LEVEL COUNTRY AND UNDEVEL- OPTED TIMBER SECTION IS INvIT- ING AND LUMBER COMPANY IS ALREADY BUILDING LINE

Marion, June 2.-(Special) )-The recent agitation of the question of & railway line from Birmingham to Selma along the east side of the Cahaba river has caused persons along the west side of the river, and especially in Perry county, to look for plan to connect the coal fields and the black belt by different route.
 Brent, on the Mobile and Ohio railroad, is 2e miles north of Marion. The Suttle & Weaver Lumber company has com pleted more than three miles of standard grade railway south from that place, and hns the materials on the ground for three more miles. This road Is built with small cost, owing to the favorable locality no grade exceeding per cent or cut over per cent. The road extends into one of the finest undeveloped timber sections in the state. It Is said that a belt of long leaf pine 20 miles long and 12 miles wide lies along the proposed route of this line, which Is knowE as the old Gulf Coast survey.
 The farm lands along this route are very hne. Hieberger, growing country point at Ccor's landing, on the Cahaba river, is located half way between Marion and Brent.
 Suttlo & Weaver will extend their line to Hie berger during the next year. The present object Is to bring the line through to Marion. and thus cement for all time the mercantile interests of Marion and north Perry.
 Promoters of the plan met with much encouragement here, and an effort will be made to bring Uniontown and possibly Linden or some poine on the Tombigbee river into the movement thus connecting

All Should be Taxed Alike.

In giving his view of realty assessments
a prominent citizen expressed In the Sun
day Press these views:
'All classes of real estate should be
taxed alike, that is. each piece and parcel
In like proportion to each other and to its
own selling value. The enterprising citi-
zen who develops and makes his vacant
ground productive enriches himself per-
haps, but he is also q benefactor to the
community at large, and should be en-
couraged while the greedy Spectator who
will not improve his ground or tempt
others to do so by selling 1t at a fair
figure, should have it taxed to its full
value In order to compel improvements.
Vacant city ground should be taxed
at It's actual, fair value, not one. third or
one-half of its selling value. Reasonable
taxation compels the avaricious owner of
ground to make income producing i'm
provements or permit others to make them
which improvements are not only for the
general good, but particularly for the
benefit of the individual owner.
Taxation Is, to the minds of many un-
thinking persons, obnoxious; they stig-
matizeit as an odious imposition by
tyrannical majority. Its only redeeming
feature-the one thing which goes far to
render it acceptable-is that it shall be
imposed upon all alike, rich and poor,
high or low, the powerful and the weak,
with an absolute, inf1exible, answering
equality and impartiality."

AMONG the applications filed by inmates
of the state prison for pardon or parole is
one by John Ellsworth, the man who was
sent to Trenton for robbing the residence
of Schuyler Rainier, at Florence Obiec-
tions are being heard in all parts of the
county to the granting of this fellows
request and 1t is hard to discover what
claim he has for leniency of any sort. His
crime was of the most fragrant character
and it is not through any act of his that
Justice was melted out to him or that an
innocent man was kept out of prison. A
farmer of good repute was arrested and
was in grave danger of being punished
for the robbery. A man In Philadelphia
gave information that secured the arrest
of Ellsworth and he was sent to the state
prison for term that was none too long
for his crime. There is absolutely moth
ing in the case to entitle him to favorable
consideration. Pardoning or paroling
prisoners should be most carefully looked
into before Judgment Is rendered. There
Is little encouragement for the courts to
impose sentences that fit the crime if they
are to be set aside simply because the fell
low who is under the ban wants his
liberty.

Theatres.

CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE
"The New York Idea,' a smart comedy
of modern society life, by Langdon Nit
che1l, in which Mrs. Fiske starred several
seasons ago, will be presented by the Or
pheum players at the Chestnut Street
Theatre, Philadelphia, this week. The
author of the play is Peiladelphian,
prominent in literary circles throughout
the country, and the New York Ideap is
one of his best efforts. The divorce pro-
blem figures prominently in the story, and
the author does not hesitate to show the
ludicrous side of marital mishaps. The
action occurs in New York, and the char
acters are types of the upper crust of So
ciety. The drama is absorbing in its in
terests, with clever situations, brilliant
dialogue, light epigrams and .climaxes
that occasion surprise. There is also a
beautiful love story involving a couple
who, though divorced, find after a brief
separation that they have made mistake.
Tie Orpheum production Of "The New
York Idea" viii be one of the prettiest of
the season.
