The supreme court Of Alabama on
June 18th affirmed the decision Of the
circuit court of Pickens county in the
cafe of The State Of Alabama on the
relation of Sallie d. Baker against the
Dancy Real Estate and Development
Go. This was a quo Waryanto pro-
ceedings on the part of the State charg-
ing the corporation with usurping cor
porate privileges, without authority of
law. A man by the name of S. H.
Floyd came to Dancy in the fall Of 1910
and induced the citizens to organize into
a corporation, stating that he would
sell stock and build a hotel, a livery
stable, warehouse, and organize a bank
and develop the place. The corpora
ton was organized and Mrs. Baker ex.
ecuted a conveyance of every alternate
lot in Dancy to the corporation. The
citizens Of the place took stock aud
built a hotel, but the Birmingham mar
did not fulfill his promises. The prin-
cipal interest was held by Floyd. Mrs.
Baker employed Charles Strong of Ma
con and Mckinley. Mcqueen 4 Haw.
kins of Tuscaloosa and had this action
brought against the corporation. The
tangle caused by this corporation was a
drawback to the growth of Dancy, but
now that this has been Strengthened

its upward movement.
Mr.. Strong is to be congratulated on
his victory as this case was holly con
tested by a Birmingham firm of law.

RAILROAD TON

The Mississippi Railroad Com
mission at a recent meeting
raised the valuation Of the rail-
road property in the state some
twenty million dollars. Some of
the railroads had their valuation
practically doubled. The Mobile
and Ohio is by this new valuation
assessed at about $4,000 per
mile.
The general consensus Of opin-
ion among the well informed is
that the raise is unjust and un
warranted by the facts. The
predecessors of the present mem
bers of the Railroad Commission
were never accused of being
partial to the railroads, In fact
many of their rulings were con-
sidered harsh. 1t was believed,
and still is, that the railroads
were assessed with a fair pro-
portion of taxes.
It is exceedingly unwise to in
crease the railroads taxes just
at this time. The floods in the
delta, and indeed in many other
parts Of the state. have put them
to tremendous expense, and in
juriously affected the value of
their property.
Just at this time, too, when
railroads are looking for routes
to the gulf in anticipation of the
business field there to be devel-
oped by the opening of the Pana-
anna Canal, It was a economic
blunder to do anything that looks
like oppression.
Mississippi might be the gate
way Of the middle west, the
states east Of the Mississippi
river, to the Gulf of Mexico. Sew
eral proposed lines are being sur
veyed through the state. At this
hopeful moment comes the action
of the commission like a douche
of cold water. The people p ay
the freight and the taxes too.
The income of the state will be
increased out of the pockets Of
the people.

The people Of the county and her
many friends elsewhere were greatly
astonished and shocked last Friday
morning to hear Of the sudden and very
serious illness of Mrs. George W. Wade.
1t seems that she was sitting on the
south porch in the forenoon and when
about dinner time the servant spoke to
her she made no reply, though sitting
up in a perfectly natural position. The
servant finally became alarmed and
called in a neighbor and Mrs. Wade
was found to be incapable Of speech or
motion. She was assisted to her room
and everything that loving care and
medical skill could do was done for her,
but she passed peacefully away, with
out regaining speech, early Saturday
morning. IL is thought that happily
her disease was such that she suffered
very little, the paralysis stilling the
nerves and the power to suffer as it did
the muscles and the power to move or
speak. Apoplexy and consequent pa
ralysis was the cause of her death.
Otherwise her health had been good.
The funeral was held at the home
Sunday morning and her remains ten.
derby laid away by her Borrowing
friends and relatives in the Odd Eel
lows cemetery at Macon.
Mrs. Wade was Miss Sallie McHenry
and was born in Oyerton county, Ten
nessee in September 1866. After her
mothers death, the family moved to
Noxubee county in 1852. She was ed
ucated in Macon and at the noted con-
vent school at Nazareth. Kentucky.
She taught school one year at Brooks
vile where she met Mr.. Geo. w. Wade
andan affection sprang.up b~etweenthem
which was followed by their marriage
and lasted in full strength to the day
Of her death and was characteristic of
them and their home life. They were
married in 1881 at Ridgeway. the Nc
Heury home at Paulette. They first
made their home at Deerbrook, later
at Brooksville. They moved to Mem
phis where Mr.. Wade was very ucces
full in business. Three years ago they
came back to Noxubee and built a
beautiful and stately home in Macon.
Mrs. Wade leaves no children. She
is survived by her husband. her STEP
mother. Mrs. L. J.. McHenry and her
neice. Mrs, ]. E. Robbins and her
nephew, Mr.. Thomas McHenry.

SAL LAKE TO
Los ANGELES
VIA TONOPAH

The county commissioners have
appropriated the sum of $1,000
for the road which Sruns from Ely
to Tononah, and this means that
with the active cooperation of
White Pine county and the Chamber
of Commerce in Los Angeles, there
will be completed one of the best
automobile roads in the country,
ard it will connect Salt Lake with
Los Angeles via Tonopah.
White Pine county has already
expended $4,000 on the road and
is willing to spend four thousand
more; the Railroad Valley people
have also. spent several thousand
dollars and this, with the amount
that has been appropriated before
by Nye county, makes almost
enough for the initial cost.
Victor Barndt has left for Los
Angeles, where he will confer with
the members of the Chamber of
Commerce of that city and will try
and persuade them to complete the
road from the California boundary
which will give a fine road from
Salt Lake to the coast and will
take in Tonopah as one of the chief
stopping place.

 The school authorities of Chicago have considered the plan of making of the school plant and have thrown open the school halls to political meetings.
 It Is probable that the schools in Chicago will never again be to that which they have formerly had

 He caused plank to be inserted in the Democratic platform favor of opening the school halls and political use but nothing of the matter the constit tion of the board not lending itself to the execution of pro pOsals with only a Democratic backing.
 It is certainly true that wider ought to be made of the school plant which lies idle than half the time
 The objections that made against opening school halls to social and political gatherings frivolous To do would the city much money and increase the usefulness of the schools to the citizens.

WESTINGHOUSE, A ssFOOL''
 WHO MORE THAN MADE GOOD

George Westinghouse, who invented the air-brake now in use on practical ly every railroad of the world, and who founded a hundred million dollar corporation with immense plants, for the manufactur of this and other in Ventions, in Pennsylvania, Canada, England. France, Russia, Austria and Italy, was born in the village of Cen tral Bridge, Schoharie county, N. Y, sixty-six years ago. Poor and ob- scrre when he first sought to bring his epochal invention to the atten- tion of railway presidents. he was branded a visionary and a crank.
 Westinghouse was about thirty years old when he completed an automatic brake that would work to his satis- faction. Seeking an opportunity to display his invention, he wrote a let ter to Commodore Vanderbilt, presi- dent of the New York Central rail way, asking for an interview.
 How prepOsterous, chortIed Van derbilt when he read the letter, ito think that a heavy train Of cars could be stopped by wind flaw -haw''
 In these days all business men. and that 1t pays to reply courteolsly to every ciognmunica ton. At that time the public be damned theory was in vogue. and Commodore Vanderbilt was it's chief exponent. At the top of Westing ghouse's letter he scrubbed these words:
 1T have no time to waste on fooIs.''
 MT Westinghouse was naturally in cenSed, but not discoura ged. He took his scheme to President Cassa.tt, of the Pennsylvania, and that gentle
