SUITS AGAINST RAILWAY:
TWO MILLIONS INVOLVED

Alabama Court Against
Louisville and Nashville.

BlRBINGHAM, January 1.-THE first
suits against the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad Company and the Southern
Railway Company. brought by English
and German creditors Of Knight, Yancy
& Co., were begun today by the filing of
a complaint against the railroads by AL
exander Eccles & Co. of Liverpool and
by Knoop & Fabarins and seven other
merchants of Bremen, Germany, in the
Morgan county law and equity court OF
Alabama, at Decatur. Ala. The other
English creditors Of Knight, Yancey &
within the next ten days. The total sums
the railroads by English creditors is more
than 100000 that Of Germans is about
$3OO,OO0.
Many Legal Aspects Presented.
The papers are voluminous and present
the allegations. in eleven different legal
aspects. The gist of the actions, how
ever, Is included in the following allega-
lions In the, complaints:
''The firm OF knight, Yancey & Co. had
been in the habit of obtaining money on
drafts secured by spurious bills Of lading,
similar to those upon which the present
-
years A month or two after each bill
of lading was issued Knight, Yancey &
Co. would buy cotton similar to that
called for by the bill and ship 1t forward
under the same marks as those described
In the bill of lading. When the cotton
arrived at it's destination abroad 1t would
be delivered upon the surrender of the
spurious bill Of lading. despite the fact
that the spurious bills differed in date
and number and in other respects from
the shippers manifest"
Known to Shippers.
It is further alleged that this practice
of Knight, Yancey & Co. was well known
to the shippers and was connived at by
the officers Of the railroads. 4
The creditors suing maintain that this
on the part of the railroads
renders them equally liable with knight.
Yancey & Co. for the losses sustained by
the latter's customers.

most part the stones lie just where they fell.
In it's entirety this section OF the city must
have presented an imposing appearance being
literally forest of columns surrounding and
connecting the various courts. AS to the use
of these great colonnades, tradition and his
tory are equally silent Some think that they
were the law courts Of the ancient city, where
Justice was administered and punishment
melted out. Others say that they we're the
market places, where the produce of the sur
rounding country was bought and sold. This
latter explanation has one strong recommends
ton in its favor in that the descendants Of
the builders Of the ancient city of Yucatan,
the present Maya Indians, still hold their mar
kets under the portals surrounding the plazas
in the towns and villages throughout the coun-
try today.
South of the Cenote Grande there are num-
Der of welLpreserved structures, most of them
presenting beautifully sculptured facades. To
these fanciful names have been given, which
probably have little or nothing to do with
the original uses of the buildings. One large
structure for example, has been called 1.-THE
Akabtzib." The name is Maya and means
1.-THE House of the Dark Writing" This build
ing was SO called, because of the fact that
over one Of It's interior doorways there is a

is so placed that the hieroglyphics can only
be seen by artificial light, hence the NAME
"The House of the Dark Writing" Nearby is

only structure Of its kind in the Maya area.
This is called "The Caraco." Caracol is the
Spanish word for snail, and since the interior
circular corridor and spiral stairway of this
structure bear some remote resemblance to the
convoluticns Of a snail shell, the name was
applied to the building The Nhnjos Spanish

building at Chichen TIA. 1t is composite

aces and temples are now but little more than
shapeless mounds of fallen masonry. The total
area covered by ruins which may be assigned
to this center of primitive population has been
estimated by some as high as ten square miles.
That larger Maya cities yet remain to be dis
covered now seem highly improbable so thor
oughly has the general exploration of the area
been done. Consequently we may affirm with
but little hesitation that "The Holy City of the

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six
months old he broke out on his head
with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave scale. Then it would
break out again and 1t spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his head was scaly all over. Then his
face broke out all over in red bumps
and it kept spreading until it was on
his hands and arms. l bought several
boxes of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time. He
had it about six months when friend
told me about Cuticura. 1 sent and
got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, a
cake of Cuticura Soap and a box OF
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve.
He began to take long maps and to
stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles Of Resolvent, two boxes Of
Ointment and three cakes of Soap he
was sound and well, and never had
any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.
Il have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what put
them on. think Cuticura is a great
remedy and would advise any one to
use It, Cuticura Soap is the best that

THE SIGH FOR LEIsuRE.

Lives there the man who has not sighed for

more sober moments, has not been honestly
glad that he must work? Human nature which
sweetens under TOLL sours in leisure And 1t is
by no means sure that the fall from innocence
which first brought work into the world land

guised as labor. Faithfulness will dignity and
beautify even drudgery; no matter what the
work u.s. provided 1t is honest, if 1t is done well
it commands our instructive respect Besides
If we old not all have to work sc hard to keep
alive the jails would have standing room only.
