 Stopped There

Montgomery, July .0.-(Speeial. )-Argu- ment in the case of the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad company against the state railroad co nmission, involving additional passenger service at the towns of Dora, Carbon Hill, Cordova and Sulli- gent, was heard by Judge Gaston Gunter in the Montgomery city court Thursday morning. The railroad commission was represented by Attorney General Robert C. Brickell and the railroad company was represented by Foraey Johnston of Bir- mingham.
 The case is one of long standing, and grew out of two orders of the commission for additional train service at those places. The first order was made to re- quire the railroad company to stop trains Nos. 10o and 1O6 running between Kansas City and Jacksonville, Fla, at the places above mentioned. A second order of the commission sought to compel the car rier to, operate an additional passenger train between those places
 The railroad immediately secured tenn porary restraining orders to prevent the ei. .forcement of the commissions order. and the hearing today was on the merits of the case. Judge Gunter took the case under consideration ind will announce his decision within the lext few days

 Quite bit of agitation is being stirred up in the city council over the matter of flat rates for light, water and gas service that were granted the mayor and mem bers of the council last year. It was held at the time that this grant was uncon- stitutional and ever since then there has been more or less opposition to the prac- tice. This came to a head today when Alderman A. M. Brown introduced an or dinance to revoke this privilege.

DOCTOR ORDERS RESIN0L FOR
 BAD RINGWORM

New York, March g, 1914: "A rash formed on my forehead and commenced spreading. It was a ringworm. The itching and burning which I endured for four months before I commenced using Resinol Soap and Resinol Oint- ment were terrible. All my classmates kept away from me in fear that they would catch it. I used every home remedy I could think of, but with no success. My family doctor advised me to use Resinol Soap and Resinol Oint- ment. The moment l applied them I felt a cooling sensation which was last ing--the relief was quick. I used two jars of Resinol Ointment, and Resinol Soap, and was finally rid of the pest. I. Today there isn't single mark to show 4where l had the disease. (Signed) 2 NJ G. Ross. 273 Church St

The Growing Use of Checks
 Several years ago William Sherer, man. ager of the New York Clearing House association, said that he had observed a marvellous increase in the utilization of checks not merely in carrying on trans actions with banks or between business houses, but also in the smaller affairs of life. In New York city it is becoming more and more the custom of those who employ servants to pay them in checks and that custom is extending to the sub urbs. Mir. Sherer furthermore said that the larger part of the actual, overtime counter cash transactions carried on by New York banks represented in each in- stance a small amount of the money, such, for instance, as a person might want to use in shopping. A large amount Of cash in the aggregate is paid over the counters to employers for the purpose of meeting their pay rolls, and this in the aggregate undoubtedly represents the chief over-the-counter cash payments made by New York banks in the course of any one month.
 Another feature of these detailed reports which will not escape the observant eye or the comptroller of the currency is to be found in the continued flow of credit in large amounts to New York city from the interior. These credits are repre- sented by checks and drafts and other in-
 
 cash finds its way to New York There fore it is to be presumed that whatever the other effects of the new national banking law may be there will continue to flow to New York, irresistably a great volume of cedit in the form of checks and drafts. One of bankers of this city has made an estimate that not more than 1 per cent of the movement of funds from the interior to New York is in the form of cash. In crop moving times there used to be a large demand upon New York for actual currency, particularly in bills of small denomination, convenient for paying the wages of farm hands But the great increase in the use by farmers of local banks mas tended considerably to check this demand since the local ranks in the great agricultural areas are able to meet the demands of the farmers for small bills.
 The great object lesson which will be discovered by the comptroller in these detailed reports is the constant increase in the use of instruments of credit like checks or drafts. This is an employment of credit which is not paralleled either in Great Britain or on the continent of Europe.

ERECT $12,OOO SCHOOL
 BUILDING AT AUBURN
Opelika Contractor Will Construct
 New Lee County High School Building

Opelika. July 0.-(SpeciaL)-B. F. Hud- son, contractor of this city, has closed a contract to build the new Lee County High school building at Auburn at cost of s12, GOO. The specifications call for a two-story brick structure with base ment. MT. Hudson stated to The Age Herald correspondent today that the work on the building would begin at once, and that the building would be ready for occupancy at the opening of the Septem- Ter term.
 It will be remembered that in 1911 the Lee County High school was established in this city, but owing to the congested condition of the city grammar schcool some provision had to be made for an expansion, and Opelika absorbed the Lee County High school here, hence the school was moved to Auburn.

HUNDRED |. & N. MAY ENLARGE SHOPS Additional Land Adjoining New Decatur Property
 Being Sought

Decatur. July 1o.-(Special. .)-What seems to be well founded rumor, says that the Louisville and Nashville Rail- road company will soon purchase 25 acres of land from the Decatur Land company near their shops in New Decatur. The rumor has it that the Louisville and Nashville intends to increase their yard traekage and extend the repair shops and that this land is necessary for these im- movements.
 While the rumor cannot be verified it seems to be true from the source of the information at hand.
 An addition is being built to the plant of the Quality Laundry. A number of new machines will be installed and the plant greatly improved. With the new additions the plant will be worth $15000 and will give employment to about 25 people.
