 R. G. Cobb. traffic manager of the Chamber of Commerce, has been in-
 formed by officials of the line at New
 Orleans. The inauguration of this serv-
 ice between these two cities has been
 urged by Mir. Cobb, who points out
 that it will be of great benefit 10 merchants here. as the water freight
 charges will be materially lower and
 shipments will be more prompt, in view of the present car shortage.
 There has never been any move ment of freight from New Orleans to Mobile since the Misstssippi-W Warrior harges were put into operation. Barges of coal and other freight from the
 Birmingham district continually pass | through Mobile and on to New Or | leans. The lack of equipment with which to handle the character of freight which would move this way has thus far held up the establishment of this service. officials state. There Is a large amount of freight shipped from New Orleans to Mobile, according to Mr. Cobb, consisting of paint, hardware, rope, tin goods, cof- 1 fee, sugar and many other commodi- ties. MT. Cobb is now working or
 joint rail and water rates from points | in the Mississippi valley, via rail ana | the barge line to Mobile. Rates have ! already been proposed which are ma teriallv lower than all-rail rates from | these points to Mobile.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Care About Speeding

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 This evening on my way from South Highlands to town. I noticed a group of folks on a nearby corner. Upon coming closer we observed 1t was not merely g. group-but mob. Ac- cident! Automobile accident! This was the first thought that entered our minds New inventions misused often bring on new pandemonium. In fact it is getting stylish to be able to say one was in an auto accident. Just as it was to have appendicitis. ta few years ago. The poor occupants had already been taken to a hospital, and in the midst o9 the throng was an up- turned remnant of car. Demolished was no name for it It appeared as though the chauffeur had attempted tq climb a sturdy young oak--but was unsuccessful. No one was killed-but most of the passengers were badly hurt.
 It appears that folks who race thei. autos generally get in bad. Some. times they get others in trouble. think the newspaper folks should harp on safety-eternal safety--in editorials and in the gist of all their news. II should be bad form to travel at greater speed than 20 miles per hour No matter how dexterious the driver may be. There is no excuse for him to race-at greater speed than 20 miles per hour.
 If you are fond of speeding. here's wishing that you never bump into my 'flivver!' But remember that life and limb are worth more than d few thrills. I should like to see every au- tomobile in the United States bear a sign in front of it's radiator. and in bold letters, depicting the slogan, Safety First" Fewer accidents would occur. And lives and limbs would be saved. If men and women think safe. ty, they will act safety and accidents will become rare, Here's hoping the speed maniac becomes unfashionable Also that the slogan Safety First will predominate, and become as tan gible as the Golden Rule. Yours sin. cerely, S. D. CONAN.

FIRST ACTION IN ALLEN
CASE AT SAVANNAH.

Savannah, Tenn, May 3.-After
Chester Graham, 35, had been senten-
ced to death and his two younger
brothers acquitted to-day for the
murder of Harry Allen, storekeeper
of Hooker's Bend on April 81, the
trial of Will and George Allen was
begun. AT late hour this evening
the state closed it's case against the
two Allen negroes. Practically the
same witnesses were used and the
same testimony adduced as in the
Graham trial.
Will and Ernest Graham were ac
quilted after they had told under oath
that they had been forced to act as
lookouts for Will Allen.
Feeling here and at Hooker's Bend
is high against the two yiung ne
groes acquitted today and it is prob
able that Judge Barham will send
them to some correction institution.

a Wildersville correspondent, as that
is my old stamping ground-from
1876 to 1881.
Don't know what kind of weather
you are having in old Henderson
county, but it is sure wet here. The
farmers are in a bad fix-only two
days this Spring the ground has been
fit to work and that was last week.
To-day it is raining and it will be
several days before the ground is in
condition to work. The peach crop is
all killed. The wheat crop looks fine
and there is quite an acreage here
this year.
Farm labor is scarce. Not near
enough to cultivate all the land. Lots
of farm help going to the cotton mills
where they get shorter hours and
more pay.
Tell your dear farmers that they
are in luck not to be where there is
much manufacturing going on. Keep
out of the hearing of the whistle ir it
will get the farmers goat.
Hoping everything is lovely in old

Respectfully,
