Special to The Georgian Montgomery', Ala., Nov. 26.—All eyas are now turned toward the Louisville and Nashville railroad since the legis lature adjourned, as it Is'expected that’ road will go Into the Federal-court at any time to enjolif the rate laws. A conference has been going on here between Milton Smith, president of the Louisville and Nashville; H. L. Stone, general counsel; Gregory L. Smith, of Mobile; ' George \V. Jones and Manly Foster, of Montgomery, all attorneys for the company. What ac tion will be taken by the road is not known, but It Is known that every de tail Is being gone ov*y and that almost at .any moment some action may be taken. The road has bitterly contested •.!! the?? laws, but now that they are .on the books what action will be taken has not even been hinted at. At this tljne It looks as if the legis lature has the best of the road and that it will become necessary for it to go through the channels named In the bills before going to court. The penalty bills are the ones which the road can hardly get around. *The Federal court will no doubt be called upon to take some action.* The governor is not In the city today, but Is expected back tonight or tomorrow. He has approved all the railroad rate regulation bills and after the legislature was over he went home to take a much needed rest.

So Governor Smith set carpenters, painters nnd cleaners to work. The small and Inadequate portico was torn nwny. and a broad,, handsome verandah put in Its place. The dull-red, weather-worn. unkemnt-lo4>klng brick exterior has been painted a nretty gray, the woodwork white. The finishing touches are being nut on now, nnil the mansion, with its broad, well-kept Is now 4>uc of the handsomest homes in Peachtree street. Inside the building the same wonderful changes have been wrought. Though the state furnishes the mansion, Governor •ernor .Smith also graded and qindo Into a handsome tennis court.
