Friday for approximately $25,000 to

row approximately $300,000 t.o meet
these fixed expenses.
DR. C. E. DOWMAN DIES SUD-
DENLY AT EMORY COLLEGE.
Was Former Pastor of Firs! Methodist Church
Here—Beautiful Floral Design
Offered by Sunday School.
The news received here Sunday
of the death of Dr. Chas. E. Dow
man, former pastor of the First
Methodist Church, caused many ex
pressions of sorrow and regret in
the city. This church was the last
pastorate held by 7 Dr. Dowman.
Upon leaving the First Methodist
church here, he was elected dean of
the theological department of Emory
College, and was serving in this ca
pacity when the end came. He had
just returned a week ago from the
Methodist General Conference in
Oklahoma City, Okla., and was ill
but a few days.
A committee from the First Meth
odist Sunday School wired con
dolence to the bereaved family,
while a committee from the Sunday
School and church jointly sent a
beautiful floral design as evidence*
of the esteem and affection with
which he was held.
The funeral was held in Oxford
Monday afternoon at 4 o’clok.
The deceased is survived by his
wife and one son, Dr. Charles E.
Dowman of Birmingham, both of
whom were at the bedside when
deatii occurred.
Mrs. Kendall’s Bible Class

Henry Lincoln Johnson Fought by
Hoke Smith.
Washington, May 14. Senator
Hoke Smith asked President Wilson
today to remove from office Henry
Lincoln Johnson, a negro lawyer of
Atlanta, who was holding the office
of recorder of deeds of the District
of Columbia since his appointment
by President Taft. That this office ,
should go to some white democrat
was the point made by Senator
Smith in his talk with the president.
He made a protest some time ago to
the attorney general, but nothing
came of it.
Southern senators are hoping that
no more negro nominations will be
sent in. Senators Smith, of Georgia,
and Vardaman, of Mississippi, re
cently’ made an unsuccessful fight to
defeat Robert H. Terrell for ap
pointment as a police court judge
in Washington. They succeeded in
holding up the nomination for
several weeks, but it was finally
forced through.
Secretary McAdoo has put a
quietus on the gift giving nuisance,
so far as he is concerned. The
President at the outset of his ad
ministration made it very plain that
nobody was expected to give him;
anything, that nobody” would stand ,
any higher in his estimation byi
making him a costly present. Mr. I
McAdoo has let it be known that he |
doesn’t wish the 3,000 or more em-j
ployes of the Treasury Department I
to chip in to give him a wedding;
present. That is a good idea, for
two reasons. First, it breaks a
foolish precedent which compelled
subordinates to give their superiors
presents on certain occasions, and, !
second, it attacks the custom of
giving wedding presents, which is a
good deal of a burden to people of
small means.

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than ali other diseases put to
i gether, and until t he last few years supposed
ito be incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local disease and
| prescribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
i pronounced it incurable. Science has
I proven Catarrh to be a constitutional dis
ease, and therefore requires constitutional
i treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manu
factured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
I Onio, is the only Constitutional cure on the
! market. It is taken internally in doses
| from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts di

Tax Notice.
Notice is hereby given that the
County Board of Tax Assessors have
ordered me to double tax everybody
from this date whose taxes have not
yet been given in. However, I dis
like very much to do this and am
going to give the public an opportu
nity to save this additional cost by
holding the books open a few days
longer. Unless, however, the people
take advantage of this opportunity
during the coming week, they will
surely be doubled taxed. This is
positively the last call, so govern
yourselves accordingly. By order
