Central officials and in fact, the ar
rangements are mutually satisfactory
to all concerned" said Mr.. Hewitt.
The Sunset-Central is pleased to get
the use OF our line from Bryan, which
gives them a more direct line from
Houston to Giddings over their own
tracks, combined with our eleven.
mile cutoff from Bryan to Stone City.
and opens up to them new traffic ter
ritory along the new line.
AS for our part, we are greatly
pleased with the contamination of the
work that gives access to the valuable
trade territory of the Brazos Valley.
and the arrangements that we have
been able to make with the Sunset
Central lines, that has made this pos
sible for us. For all this much credit
is due to President Scott and Chief
Engineer Gushing of the SunsetCen-

would not have been possible for us

New Bridge Cost 100000.


! With the construction of the new
bridge across the Brazos River al
Stone City by the nset-Central at
cost OF nearly 100000 which is
just completed as part of the con.
struction work of the Giddings cutoff,
the Bryan project has been made pos.
sible by Joint track arrangement be
tween the two lines.
The Bryan and Central Texas Inter
urban. which is a steam line, runs
from Bryan 10 a junction with the
Giddings eutofl, formerly the Hearne
and Brazos Valley, a short distance
from Stone City. at what will
be known as Bryan Junction From
this junction the interurban company
will operate its trains over the Sunset
Central TO lnterurban Junction on the
opposite side of the river and little
more than a mile from Bryan juno
ton. From Interurban Junction the
interurban line runs down the river
valley to Wilcox, a distance of twenty
miles, the latter being the terminal
point
The traekage arrangement further
provides for the Snnset-Central lines
using the interurban track from
Bryan Junction to Bryan, which is on
the Houston and Texas Central, part
of the Sunset-Central system. thus
giving the latter company a direct
line from Bryan TO Giddings via Stone
City and Caldwell Regular service
will be established over this line, both
passenger and freight, beginning Sep
TENDER 10.
On the same dae the Bryan and
Central Texas lnterurban will estab-
fish through service from Bryan to
Wilcox Via Stone City, running six
trains daily between Bryan and Bryan
Junction and two trains a day from
Interurban Junction to Wilcox. For
the present the service will consist OF
mixed trains, but it is the purpose of
the company TO install motor car
service to handle the passenger traf-
fic in the near future.

ceived official notice this afternoon that
the Sudie Schmidt and the Singer Sewing
Machine cases, both of which are pending
in the United States supreme court have
been advanced on the docket of that court
to January 3, at which time argument in
the two cases will be heard.
The attorney general made a special
trip to Washington several weeks age
for the purpose of urging the court &c
advance the two cases on the docket and
the action of the highest tribunal III the
land was in response to his petition.
The state is greatly Interested in both
the cases. In the first of the cases, that
of the state VS.. Sudie Schmidt, the prin-
cipal question involved is in reference to
the states rights to several hundred thou
sands acres of sixteenth section school
lands.
The case came up from Talladega coun-
ty, and was decided against the state in
both the trial and supreme courts. The
supreme court of Alabama held that the
statute limitation barred the state from
further control of the property.
The Singer Sewing Machine case has
been pending in the supreme court of the
United States for long time. 1t involves
the right of the state to tax wagons and
vehicles used by the corporation in de-

cate that there will be a compaign of
unusual interest during the coming
months preceding the party election.
D. C. Cooper. president of the First
National bank and mayor of oxford,
has been organizing for his campaign
for some time; and 1t is very probable
that c. ID. Kline. his opponent for the

good stump speaker will take to the
hustings as soon as the primary date
is decided upon most of the candidates
being quoted as favorable to an early
date.
So far there are only two announced
candidates for the Legislature. DIR. G. c.
Williams of White Plains. former rep
reesntative, and John A. Carter, Sr.. an
Admission business man. 1t is very prob
able, however, that j. III. Edmondson
wilf be in the race and c. II. Young is
also mentioned as a probable candidate.
Mr. Edmondson is chairman of the
county executive committee. with sew
and Mr.. Young is secretary of the COM
mittee, being a lawyer and referee in
bankruptcy.
c. T. Brooks, sheriff of Calhoun coun-
ty, will not stand for reelection, hav-
ing decided to enter business after his
term is finished There is a legal pro-
vision against his succeeding himself

ask for the place as chief deputy to A

BLACKFRIARS SELECT
GOLDSMITH'S WORK
"She Stoops to Conquer Will Be
Presented by University Dram
attic Club in Spring

University December Especial.
Goldsmith's famous comedy. "rhe Stoops
to Conquer" has been selected for pres.
entaton during the spring of 1914 by the
Blackfriars, the dramatic club of the uni.
versity.
In selecting the work of Goldsmith the
club Is making a new departure. During
the first three or four Years of it's lie
the Blackfriars club confined itself to
the Elizabethan age, more particularly tc
the work of Shakespeare. And for the
past two seasons the university players
have been strictly modern, their PLAYS
! for 1912 and 1913 having been respectiveis
Shaw's candida" and You Never Car
Tell This year, however, they arc
going back to the humorists of thc
| eighteenth century, and their selection
is one of the happiest that they coulc
have made. 1t brims with the kindly hu-
NOR of 'Noldie' Goldsmith and appeals
just as strongly to the audiences of to.
day as 1t did to the people of the time
in which 1t was written
Trials for the cast will begin imme-
diately so that everything will be in shap,
for the play to go on the boards in the
early spring. Though the club contains
perhaps the best darmatlc talent in this
university, it will make departure from
the custom of confining the cast to the
membership and will throw the trials
open to the entire student body in the
hope of giving the play the best presen-
tation possible.
AS is the custoam every year. the clut
will put its play on not only in Tusca-
loosa, but also in other towns of tho
state. Among the cities which the cltt
expects to visit are Birmingham, Mobile
Montgomery, Admission, Gadsden and per
haps others
