NEW RAILROAD TO
. TALLADEGA SPRINGS
Line to Marble Quarries Will
Be of Vast Benefit to
Sylacauga

Admission. July 29.--(Special "A special
from Sylaeauga is to the effect that all
indications point to the completion of the
from Sylacauga to Talladega Springs, 10
the south of this city. where there are
large deposits of marble now being quar-
ried on an extensive scale.
M. c. Stokes OF Montgomery and Roy
Chinn of the Eureka White Marble COM
pany of Talladega Springs are said to be
the promoters of the new road, which viii
have tendency to develop the immense
deposits of marble in this section of the
Admission district and give material i'm
petus to the growth of Sylacauga
Mr.. Stokes is quoted as saying that the
name of the new road has not been de-
cided upon, but that it will certainly be
built, work to be started by early fall 1t
will enter the city of Sylacauga and con-
meet with the Central of Georgia at over
brook, two miles to the south, thence to
Talladega Springs, where it will connect
with the extensive quarries of the Ala
bama company and the Morett-Hannah
company.
There has been extensive trading in
marble property in the Anniston district
recently, including the organization of a
company to develop the black marble
found north of here. and other steps to
exploit the illimitable deposits in the
immediate vicinity OF Sylacauga, which h
place is growing rapidly as a conse-
quence.
The new road will traverse, in addition
to the marble district, rich agricultural
section and the people of Sylacauga hope
that 1t will sufficiently promote the
growth of that city to increase its petit
ton to the legislature for the creation
of new county with Sylacauga as the
seat, a, move that is said to be under con-
temptation.

REMOVE PRISONERS
TO THE COUNTY JAIL
Mayor Wikle of Admission Receives
Formal Notice From Prison In
spector for Removal

Admission, July 29.-(Special.)--A formal
order was received this morning by Mayor
Wikle of this city. the chief of police
and the city council from State Jail In
spector Oates. for the transfer of the city
prisoners from the city jail to the county
tail. An order was also received by them
from the inspector for remodeling of the
city Jail or to build a new one. The
feature of the demands was the fact that
the city was given limit of five months
TO have the Jail completed.
When the county was given orders TO
build a new county jail by Mr.. Oates no
definite time was stated by him for the
building to be completed, and as result
ii was almost a year before the present
county iail received its prisoners after the
order was given by Oates.
1t is thought that the city will not build
a new jail but will make such improve
ments on the old Jail that will meet with
The inspectors demands.
The city prisoners will be moved at once
10 thecounty Jail, where Keeper Weather

CASTRO'S FIGHT IS
REOPENED BY WRIT
Venezuelan Will Be Given Hear
ing in Federal Court
Today.

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-The case of
Cipriano Castro is again to be brought
before the Federal courts.
Renewed measures have been taken
by his counsel in an effort to secure
the admission into this country of
the former president of Venezuela,
after the decision adverse to him by
Secretary Nagel yesterday, and late
last night Judge Holt, of the United
States District Court. signed a writ
of habeas corpus applied for by Har-
old A. Content, who has been acting
as attorney in the case.
The writ commands that Castro be
brought to the judges chambers
this afternoon at o'clock, when he
will be given a hearing. Secretary
Nagers decision became known too
late in the day for Castro to be in
formed of it before the hour when
communication with Ellis Island
ceases, and consequently his counsel
was unable to secure his signature to
the petition. Mr.. Content, however,
made application as a citizen, sub
hitting a voluminous petition re-
hearsing the facts regarding Cas-
tro's detention, and giving a full his
tory of the case. 1t took several
hours to prepare the lengthy docu-
ment, and then to find a judge to
sit on it, and it was nearly midnight
| before Judge Hollis signature to the
writ was secured
