REMOVAL OF DEPOT
 MAY BE BLESSING

Tuscumbia, July 22.-(Special)-The re- moval by the Southern railway of their rassenger depot from the heart of Tus- oumbia, which was at first resisted by the people of this city, is likely to prove blessing in disguise in the awakening of a more progressive spirit among the citizens.
 At a meeting of the Commercial club, held yesterday, it was decided to provide all automobile to transport passengers to and from the depot at the nominal sum of cents. Mir Crosswhite, the new pro- prietor of the Parshal hotel will fur nish free transportation to the guests at his house, and shoppers coming to the city will also be transported free.
 The committee appointed to raise S20OO fer the purchase of car secured $150O by public subscription in few hours. The necessity for this action by the Com mercial club arises from the fact that the Sheffield company's electric car line runs five blocks from the depot.

SURVEYING FOR
 NEW RAILROAD

Cariollton, July 22-(Special)-A large party of civil engineers passed through Carrollton Friday afternoon en route to Reform, where they will take up the work of surveying route out of Reform for the Alabama, Tenn essee and Northern railroad. While the proposed destination of the road at the, present time Is Birmingham there are several rumors afloat that in all probability they will not touch Bir- mingham, but will hit some point north of that city. It is also reported that there is some probability of the town of Reform proper losing the road as it does not wish to grant right t-of-way out of the place.
 It is said that the Lathrop Lumber company, which Is situated mile east of Reform, has made the mana cement some attractive propositions to go by it's mill, which, no doubt, will be ae- cepted, unless the property owners of Reform are willing to do the right thing by the road

Friends in- terposed and got the old man away from the grave, but what he had said had paralyzing effect on the mourners and they hastened from the scene.

NEWS OF MARION

Marion, July 22-(Special.)- "A good per centage of the leading farmers of Perry county attended the farm demonstration meeting and barbecue given at Marion on Friday. Many were disappointed that Governor" kolb was detained in Wash ington and could not be here to make the principal address. However, W. M. Eil- and. in charge of the county demonstra- tion work, delivered an excellent address.
 S. " Woodfin left this week for Logans- port, Ind, with his string of race horses and will join the western circuit, where some of his best trottlng stock will be seen. He will be away until September.
 Continuous rains have fallen in this county and in some instances complaint iss made of too much rain. However the crops are looking fine and every indica- ton points to bumper crops.
 From present indications Marion is being seriously considered by three pro- posed railway lines that are to be built out of the mineral section of Alabama to gulf ports the most important of which is the Jasper and Pensacola road which recently filed large mortgages for the securing of funds with which to begin work. Marion has rendered to these peo- pie offices and other facilities free of charge during the preliminary surveys, and every indication shows that the ton mage as we'll as passenger traffic here has attracted the attention of all the pro posed new railway constructors.
 Present indications are that colleges here will be filled to overfiowing this fall, particularly so at Marion institute, where arrangements are being made for more than 200 boys.

fine piece of work Wide and gener- ous in all it's proportions. it stretched
 way out into the ocean, and at its end 1t was equipped with the most elaborate system of lenders ever used. Satisfied with everything he saw, Mir. Flagler telegraphed to New York to the owners of the Ward line of steam ships that the pier was ready and that Florida awaited the inauguration of a service to Palm Beach. The Ward line was to have the honor of christening the pier. Following the Ward line, other lines the vessels of which went to gulf or West Indian ports were to be invited to make Palm Beach port of call
 The first steamer of the Ward line to christen the pier was not gentle in the matter. There was not much of sea on, Just one of those swells that ap- pear innocent, but are not. The steam CT was close to the pier, and the people on the pier and the people on the steamer were cheering when the swell suddenly took charge of affairs. It lifted the big ship and sent it crashing into the pier. But for the great fend- CTS the end of the pier would have been torn off. As it was, a part of the massive billing was ripped away. The

The Ward line officials then sent a polite message to MT. Flagler They told him they would do anything in the world within reason to oblige him, but they wished to use their various vessels and did not desire to litter the floor of the ocean with them, so they~would give up the attempt to call at Palm Beach.
 Mir Flagler went to Palm Beach and
 looked at his pier and looked at the ocean. The sea was rather rough at the time and he. could not help but realize how vain was his dream. He walked out on the pier to its end and then walked back again. While he was walking he was thinking, not of Palm Beach or of Florida, but of some things he had seen at various times along the New England coast He always was an observa.it man.
 That evening he gave some orders that made various persons wonder what in the name of goodness he had in mind. He ordered limestone rock in vast quantities brought in from .he nearest quarries and dumped alongside the pier from end to end When all the hundreds of tons of rock had been dumped into the sea he had the entrance to the pier boarded up in most artistic style. but before that

LUTHER
 AND THE BIBLE

From the Century Magazine.
 Luther's studies at the university em- braced the writings of the church fathers was becoming more and more attached. He tells us. that it was in his 20th year that he first saw complete copy of the Scriptures in the university library at lsrfurt. He had hitherto supposed that they embraced only the lessons read in the public services, and was delighted to find much that was quite unfamiliar to him. His ignorance, 1t may be remarked, though not exceptional, was his own fault The notion that Bible reading was drowned upon by the ecclesiastical au- thorities of that age is quite unfoundcd. To be sure, it was not considered part Of a Christians duty, as it is in many Pro- testant churches, and few homes pos sessed copy of the Scriptures; but they were read regularly in church. and their study was no more prohibited to unive-- sity students of that day than to those of this,, and was probably as little prac- iced by most of them as now.
 As to Bible study, the opinion of the theological professors of Erfurt was di- sided. some favored 1t. ascribing to bib lcal writers an authority superior to the fathers and to, the schoolmen: others ad- vised against it. because all that was of value in the Bible could be found in the writings of the theologians. and its study was apt to foster pQide and promote seditious and revolutionary spirit. Stau- pitz heartily believed in it, and made Il an important part of the requirement in the theological course of the Erfurt mon- astery.

 Maybe it was six months after the stav- ing in of the two Ward line boats-pos- sibly it was not so long-that MT. Bur- chardi went into the Seminole club in Jacksonville. MT. Flagler who also is a member, happened to be there. It was the first time the men had met since the order for the building of the pier had been given.
 "I was sorry indeed when I heard of your injury" said MT. Flager Are you entirely we'll again?'
 .Yes; I'm all right" was the reply.
 And your assistant, how is he?" A.He is as well as ever''
 That is excellent, excellent" exclaimed Mir. Flagler. T would not have forgiven myself if I-had been the cause of you being injured permanently"
 Don't bother about us.- Mir. Flagler,' said the engineer; but I'm sorry you should have had such misfortune with the pier. I never thought you would succeed in your plan, and l advised against 1t, as you'll remember, but 1t is too bad that you should lose so much money"

 be difficult to build such pier. but he doubted whether it would be of much service. To dock a ship out in the ocean would be serious matter. When the sea was particularly smooth 1t would be easy, but generally the At l lantic has swell. T0 dock when the swell was on would be ticklish. To dock wher there was more than ! swell would be extrahazardous. If not impos- sible Everything that man knew of that could be employed to assist in warping a ship in to a pier might be utilized, yet the obstacles of nature were such that he doubted whether ves- sells could be brought to the pier in any but the smoothest seas.
 MT. Flagler said if man had not over come the obstacles of nature there would have been no progress in the world. With all due respect to the en- gineer's knowledge and skill he be- lieved steamers could land. He wanted the pier built.
 It was not long before MT. Burchardi got busy. Out into the Atlantic, foot by foot, went an army of workmen, sink ing piling, laying lumber. driving bolts and spikes. Of the many bridges and piers the engineer had constructed not one got more earnest attention than this one. The best timber the forests of the land could supply was obtained. MT, Flagler desired pier of which he would be proud, and so far as 1t Jay within the power of the engineer he was going to have it.
 But somehow there seemed to be hoo doc connected with that pier. One day there was an accident. in which MT. Burchardi was injured. Another day there was another accident. in which one of his assistants was hurt. This did not in any way affect the progress of the work. but workmen are super stitious They had doubts all along as to the wisdom of building. the pier. Now they were satisfied it was doomed to failure. They would not have been surprised at anything that happened
 So when the pier was completed they were pleased. So was MT. Flagler, but for another reason. He saw through that pier another important step in the development of Florida. Along the whole long eastern shore of the state there were only two points, Fernandina and Jacksonville Fernandina was In the northern corner of the state. Jack sonville was some distance up the St Johns river and could be reached only by vessels of light draft If steamers could dock at Palm Beach it would mean radical change in the transpor- | Al. and the north.
