REFERENDUM WORKS DIFF.
FERENT THAN INTENDED
MEASURE INTENDED TO REGISTER POP.
UAR WILL ALSO WORKS
BACKWARD.

The referendum. like many legis-
lative enactments which seem right
in theory fails to work out the de-
sired results in actual practice.
June first closed the sixty-day
period following the end of the
Legislative session during which
referendum petitions could be filed
concerning laws passed by the last
Legislature. By use of the refer
endum three laws passed and
which would under ordinary cir
cumstances become effective and
operative the first of July, have
been held up by petitions requir-
ing the secretary of state to refer
them to a vote of the people at the
next general election. and there
fore do not become operative I'M
til approved by popular vote.
One of the laws to be thus re-
ferred is the law requiring the use
by railroads of electric headlights,
which shall not be less than 1900
candle power.
Another law is one relative to
locating county seats. The new
law provides for primary election
at which all towns of a county
ambitious to become the seat of
county government may get into
the race. The two towns receiv-
ing the highest number of votes
are then voted on at the general
election following and no others
can enter.
The third law to be referred and
which the people as general rule
in this locality are are most in
terested in is known as the herd
law" There is a trespass by ami
mails law which is operative east
of the river but not west of it ex-
cept in those counties expressly
adopting it. The law passed last
winter repealed the three sections
making the country west of the
river different in this respect than
that east, that is giving us the
trespass by animals law. How
ever the stock men have been Sic
cessful in getting the necessary
number of signers to refer the law
so that they will have free range
until after the next general election.

A TREE THAT WEEPs.

During the driest months Of the
Rhodesian year-August, September
and October tree called by the
natives Mukololo exudes moisture in
large drops from its topmost leaves
and gives the traveller who happens
to be standing in the immediate vi
cinity the impression that a shower
Of rain is falling. When the natives
see one of these trees dripping they
say: "The mukololo is weeping for
rain" Even during the hottest day
the tree weeps copiously.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
ELECTS OFFICERS
LARGE ATTENDANCE INDICATES THAT
CLUB WILL CONTINUE TO Be EFFECT.
I'VE ORGANIZATION.

The meeting of the Commercial
Club on Monday night was the
best attended Of any meeting held
for two or three months. From
the beginning of the towns history
UP until several weeks ago, this or
ganization was a very live and inn
portant one. The county seat con-
test last fall was conducted through
its committees as was also the land
office struggle. Not only that but
before the towns organization all
matters relating to the general
welfare of Our people was discussed
at its meetings and looked after by
its committees. It thrived upon
business responsibilities and be-
came strong, active and effective.
With the county seat lassoed;
the land office brought home cap
tive and the town organized, the
club was left somewhat like a man
who has nothing to do-gradually
lost strength and self-respect.
However. it has been lately re-
allied that there are still many
things for a commercial club to do
and the rousing meeting this week
indicates that such things will be
looked up and duly performed.
The newly elected officers for the
coming year are: President, John
De Y. Smith; secretary, Andrew
L. Anderson; treasurer, J. D.
Kimball. The membership fee
was reduced from $40 to So per
year. which may be paid quarterly,
semi-annually or yearly as the
member desires. A permanent
committee was also elected which
will be known as a reception and
membership committee. 1t con-
sists of six members and their
special duty will be to solicit new
members, invite any distinguished
person who may be in town upon
the meeting night of the club to
attend or make any, new arrivals
in town who chance to attend ac-
quainted with people and made to
feel at home.
The regular meeting night will
continue to be Monday and ar
engagements will probably be made
with the Odd Fellows lodge so
that meetings will be held at their
hall. Every one who is interested
in the growth and development of
things that are worth while in
Timber Lake should join this
worthy organization.

MORE RAILROAD
 |CASES TRANSFERRED

Decatur, April 5.-(Special)--A Attorneys for the Louisville and Nashville and the Southern railroads have filed motions to transfer the remainder of the dam age suits brought by the creditors of the Knight-Yancey Co.,, the bankrupt cotton company, against these railroads, to the federal court at Huntsville. Nearly af1 of the suits were transferred to the federal court in Huntsville some time ago. but there still remained filed here in the Morgan county law and equity court several suits.
 It is also Understood here that the creditors will file motions in the United States court to have these suits re-trans- ferred to the Morgan county law and equity court at Decatur. It Is also statci here that in the event the cases are not re-transferred to the Morgan county law and equity court that they will likely be transferred, from the federal court at Huntsville to the federal court at Btr- mingham.
 Wherevei Iried 1t is likely that 1t will take number of weeks to complete the trial of these cases and the probabilities are that the suits will be in the courts for a number of years before final settlement Is made of them. Something
