•■REPRESENTATIVE HOPKINS
WANTS SOME INFORMATION.
Atlanta. Ga.. July 25, 1914.
Editor Times-Enterprise.
ThomasviHe, Ga.
Dear Sir; The citizens of the
Boston District have filed with your
representatives a large and repre
sentative petition asking for the
crtcbllshment of a City Court In
Boston, to be conducted by the
since officers as the City Court of
ThomasviHe. It would really be a
trench of the latter court.
Personally. T favor this art. As a
representative of the whole people.
I would like to near from the peo
ple upon the subject.
The Boston District now has a
population of between six nnd seven
thousand. The train schedules to
and from ThomasviHe are the most
Inconvenient of any for jurors, wit
nesses and litigants attending court.
Grady county has n brunch court at
Whlgham. Mitchell county has one
at Pelham. Why should not Bos
ton have the officers of court to go
L> Boston. Instead of noston going
to the officers of court?
H. W. HOPKINS.
The above notice. In that exact
form, appeared In The Dally Times-
Enterprlse, July 27th, and in the
Semi-Weekly Tlmes-Enterprlse, July
2Kth. at Judge Hopkins' request. A
persual of It does not disclose his
final Intentions and It would be
"peculation to presume that a law,
eh as the establishment of a City
Court In any county, had been en
acted with no other evidence than
the above notice. The Judge Is not
responsible (or the people's ignor
ance. yet we Insist that many did
not know. We have no Idea of the
extent of the petition, net having
heard of It or Docn asked to sign.

who have tho petition know.

not mention the Introduction or In-

though It was published only fifteen
•I lys before the adjournment of the
Legislature. Why this request. If
the petition was generally circulat
ed and most of the people of the
county knew of It?
We did not say anything about
demanding a referendum—that Is
the Judge's long suit.
We have not heretofore, as we re
member, expressed ourselves about
the County Commissioners' act which
lie lathered and which gives to'every
section of the county more represen
tation In proportion to population
than to the ThomasviHe district.
However, we now say that we acqul-

.MEXICO A SERIOUS I'RUIILEM.
The country of Mexico Is again
threatened with civil war, the scope
of which will be quite as comprehen-
sive as that recently brought to a
close by tie victories of Carranxa's
army. The country seems to have
reached a stage ot anarchy where
war and sectional differences are
the sole and all-linportant considera
tion.
The conference of Mexican lead
ers recently !n session at Aguas Cal-
lentes was looked upon with favor
by the United States as the most
acccssable means of settling dispute;
which arose between Carranza and
Villa and which, after the capitula
tion of Huerta, threatened to break
Into open rupture nnd civil war. The
conference has been entirely unsuc
cessful. Carranza has stated that
he would retire to private life pro-
ided Villa did tie name. By na
ture active, and of warlike spirit.
Villa has no Idea of so doing.
The conference leaves matters In
stntu quo which will break into civil

UiKlERTAKEflS
ADVERTISE IN FUNERALS
Atlanta, Nov. 2.—“Atlanta under
takers use funerals for advertising
purposes," declared Dr. L. B. Clarke,
chairman of the Fulton County
Medical Association, at a meeting of
the organization Saturday night.
"They take pains to drive the pro
cession through the most crowded
streets, no matter If that route Is
out of their way. They tie up traf
fic and put on a big show Just to
gain publicity for their business,
which Is advertised by the name on
the hearse."
The doctor then took up the ambu
lance question, and declared that the
local undertakers drove their ambu
lances through the streets at break
neck speed when there was no use
of haste, merely to advertise.
The discussion arose over a Pro
posed ordinance to prohibit owners
of automobiles from parking their
cars In tie streets for more than
thirty minutes at a time,- which the
doctors oppoae. Atlanta's narrow
streets are now fearfully congestad

Tho experience of Motherhood ta a try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch In their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or un
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment attach
times, but many approach tho experi
ence with an organism unfitted for the
trial of strength, and when it Is over
her system haa received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon thia comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results. '
There Is nothing more charming than
a happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed child-birth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with ail the evidence of shattered
nerve* and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
ple time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to tike trial.
Every womsn'at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigoratar of the female organism.
In many homes
once childless there
are now children bo-

that Lydia E. Pink-
ham’s Vegetable

women normal,
