 ''That which is to be public advan- tage, and at the same time directly con tributory to the advantage of both units of the proposed combination, de- serves to prevail and should be by this commission approved.
 ''The state of Alabama feels assured that the Frisco system is not averse to the declaration of the consummation of this combination of these rail lines; and the state of Alabama entertains the hope that the I. c. c. will at once in- quire of the Frisco system whether the state of Alabama is not correct in it's assertion that the Frisco system is not averse to having allied with it the Mo. bile and Ohio railroad"
 The concluding paragraphs of the brief concur in the proposal that the Gulf, Mobile and Northern be grouped with the Illinois Central railroad. It says "the arrangement would afford the Illinois Central a second active connec- tion with an improved gulf port"

state from 181O. to 1880. They in- variably entered. by Fort Mitchell, trayeled to the present Montgomery by stage coach and by boat from there to Mobile and when they returned from New Orleans, then far west, Tn some cases they reached Nashville by the old Natchez road through the present TuscuYnbia. These routes were really aboriginal highways recently opened to travel and practically all of the visl' kors at that time kept diaries or journals as they called them which they pub lished after their return to the old country. The real student of history at the present time is much perplexed by the many claims of present-day en- thusiasts that La Fayette was enter tained in the house of their grandpar- ents, While it is true that he must have visited some private homes, being q guest of the nation, being escorted by large retinue, and in an official ca pacity, it is hardly probable that he accepted many private invitations. Ger \ tain it is that his party was enter | taihed at the regular accredited taV- erns.
 Few Relics Left Of his visit to Alabama there are Few relies left. In the department of ar chives and history at Montgomery is the bell on the tavern which General Woodward would have us believe was rung with violent peels, on his entry into the town of Montgomery. This bell which served for a few years on Major Freney's house of entertaiG ment, later saw service at Nit. Meas on a church and school house and dur ing recent months has been brought to Montgomery for safe keeping. There are quite a few relics in the city of Mobile connected with his visit there. Several poems have been written de- picting incidents connected with the time that Grandma danced with La Fayette.
 While it has not been yet definitely planned, it is proposed that the state l take recognition of the one hundredth anniversary of the visit and it is very probable that appropriate exercises will be held in the city of Montgomery in April of next year commemorative of that event.
