ROAD MAY BUILD
INTO DEMOPOL|S
Reported. Memphis, Column
bus and Gulf Will Not
Stop at Aliceville

Columbus, Miss, June 27-(speeiaL)-It
is the intention of the promoters of the
Memphis, Columbus and Gulf railroad to
run their line from Alioeville, Ala, south
east to Demopois. Ala. and not stop at
Aliceville, as has been formerly an
nounced. Demopolis affords ample con-
nections with other lines and then, too,
it will give practically an outlet to the
Gulf of Mexico via the Warrior ana
Tombigbee rivers, the latter mentioned
being navigable to Demopolis all the year
round.
This road runs from Okolona, Miss,
the present designated head of the line,
to Aberdeen, Mis-, thence to Columbus,
via Caledonia, Miss. and from here 1t
goes to Pickensville, Ala, thence to
Aliceville, and then on to Demopolis. Ala
II follows its southeasternly course all
through the rich black prairie belt which
begins in Chickasaw county, Mississippi
where Okolona is situated. until it gets
to Demopolis. 1t is one of the richest
sections in these two states and opens
a new avenue for travel which is now
untraversed by any competing line. Just
as soon as this much is finished IL is the
Intention OF the promoters to extend the
line to Memphis; hence Memphis comes
first In the chartered name of the corpor-
alton.
Columbus will most probably vote to do
nate $4,000 to this line some time next
month. over 100000 has already been Sc
cured and the balance of the necessary
money is already promised by eastern in
terests. c.. T. Heard is now in New
York. closing financial matters and ac-
tual work will be commenced in not less
than 60 or 30 days.

Warm gentle showers during the past
week have caused the cotton to grow
as 1t has not grown before since plant
ing. AS a rule the cotton was clean
before the rains commenced a week
ago. but now they are getting quite
grassy. Much of the land has been too
wet to plow.
In some parts of the county a worm,
the name of which is not known, has
been doing considerable damage to the
plant during the past few days. This
has caused some uneasiness among the
farmers of some parts of the county.
The crop is small for this time of
year, but on the whole the prospects
are good, when II is taken into consid-
GRAFTON that the crop was planted about
two weeks late.
