The necessary rail was procured by tearing up other roads and when at the . close of I war the line was confiscated by the United States as one of the assets of the Confederacy, there was prolonged litigation before the Richmond and Danville secured undisputed title. The origin of this line is re membered in many local tradi tions and names, among them ''Tennessee Carve," said to have been so called because the grading at this point was done by men of a Tennessee regiment.

In the belief of the jury everything Colonel Roosevelt said about the former chairman of the Repubhoan State committee was true and therefore Mr. Barnes was not libelled.

Nineteen hours were oonsumed before eleven of the jurymen, who, since the second ballot had stood together, persuaded Juror Num ber 11, Edward Burns, a Syracuse mctorman and a Republican, to join with them in returning a ver diet whioh Colonel Roosevelt later declared to be "typically A men can."

Italy, allied with Germany and Austria-Hungary sinoe 1882 in the Triple Alliance, was oalled on last Summer shortly after the assassination of the Austrian Crown Prince to support the Germanic Empires.

He offered Italy certain parts of Austrian territory as the prioe of neutrality, . B . but her answer always was "it is not enough." It now appears that Austria did not really believe Italy would enter the field against her. In the meantime there had arisen in Italy a war party led by the "Irredentists." whioh made its voioe heard in no uncertain terms. Dispatches from Rome for months past have indioated that the sentimeut for aotive nartioination was stronger by far than that for oontinued neutral ity. The Cabinet of Premier Salandra resigned early in May This was the signal for violent demonstration in favor of war. A wave of patriotic fervor swept the country and the people were loud in their demands for a be ginning of hostilities. Troops had to be oalled out to maintain order. Even relatives of King Victor Emmanuel were hooted and there wis talk of revolution. The Emperor of Austria-Hungary was burned in effigy in Rome, and ex Premier Giohtti, leader of the pacifists, was driven into seclusion. These evidences of the popular determination had their effect. The announcement that Premier Salandra's Ministry would con tinue in offiioe brought instant calm. For montns diplomatic ex changes between Vienna and Rome had been constant but the most persistent effoits to keep Italy out of the war were futile. Ths Triple Alliance was denouno ed by Italy May 4, but even after tjiis diplomatic endeavors were continued, Austria offering Italy further oonoession as late as May 10. Italy's nrst move on land un doubtedly will be agsinst the Austrian frontier. The moun tainous character of the oountry promises operations and fighting of the most difficult nature.
