 Implicated, through his own adnis- sion, in numerous previous automobile escapades, he seemed to regard the fine as joke. saying that he had nearly that amount with hirn and could easily raise the rest The daii sentence caused him to wilt but he ex- pressed hope that it would be re- n1ftted, if he could raise the fine, through the intercessiom of Dr. Har- stronp. principal of the school. His chief concern was as to how he could include the fine in his school allow ance without his father Knowing about it. Also that newspaper accounts be confined to local papers.

 Yesterday was a holiday and, rent ing the automobile, he paid visit to. some friends in pr. E1y's school at Stamford.

RUMORED ROAD WILL BE BUILT TODECATUR Old D. c. & N. o. R. R., It Is Said, Will Be Extended
 From Lax

Decatur, June 30.-(Special. )-That De- catur is going to have another railroad now seems certain.
 James B. Nelson. a well known planter of Limestone county, was here a few days ago and said that surveyors were at work making a survey of the line of the old Decatur, Chattanooga and New Orleans railroad into Decatur. and that he was informed by good authority that the road would be extended into Decatur at once.
 This was several years ago surveyed from Fayetteville, Tenn, Into Decatur The road was built from Fayetteville Tenn, to Lax. Ala. the latter point be- ing but 14 miles from Decatur. Trains have been operated over this part of the road for number of years. The old company which built the road sold il some years ago to the Nashville, Chatta- nooga and St. Louis Railroad company and it is understood now that the line belongs to the Louisville and Nashville railroad. This road would have been built into Decatur several years ago but for the trouble over the right of way on this end of the line It is understood now that this right of way has been secured and that this will make certain the build | ing of the road.
 This road will open up new section | of farming country which has never had a railroad It would bring a great deal of cotton and country trade to Decatur which is now going to other places.
