ATTACKS ON PROHIBITION
MADE IN THREE STATES
ALABAMA, TEXAS AND ARKANSAS
WILL DECIDE LIQUOR
QUESTION.
TO REPEAL ALABAMA LAW
It Is Believed State-Wide Law of Ala
bama Will Be Repealed
This Session.
Montgomery, -Ala.—An effort will be
made at this session of the Alabama
! legislature to repeal the prohibition
laws. Governor-elect O’Neal recom
mended a return to the policy ot lo-
I cal option on winch he was nominated
and elected. However, there is a
strong prohibition taction in the legis
lature and the repeal of the laws is
| not assured, though it is generally
believed they will he.
Another important action is the cre
ation of an appellate court, interme
l diary between the nisi prius courts
and the supreme court. It is thought
that there will be no opposition of
importance to this measure.
A dozen bills providing for commis
sion form of municipal government
will be introduced, and one will al
| most certainly be enacted.
No general assault will be made on
Lthe Comer railroad legislation, much
of which the courts have declared null
and void and others which the Comer
legislature repealed. The State Press
association will endeavor to have the
anti-press bill repealed, so that any
newspaper man can travel in this state
on a free pass.
It is thought that the session will
last six weeks, and that the remainder
of the constitutional fifty days will
be used in a subsequent esssion two
years hence.
Governor-elect O’Neal’s inaugura
tion promises to be the most elaborate
civic social affair the state has ever
known.
Little Rock, Ark. —State wide prohi
bition and a revision of the taxing
system are the two issues considered
of the greater importance to be fought
out during this session of the Arkan
sas general assembly.
' Efiorts will be made to have adopted
a law requiring that property be as
sessed at its full value with a reduc
tion in the rate ot taxation as a nec
essary result. The present method is
to make the assessment at half the
property value.
As to prohibition factions have al
ready been aligned and the most vig
orous legislative fight is anticipated
over this question. A bill providing
for the submssion of the issue to a
popular vote will be introduced dur
ing the early days of the session.
The legislature was formally organ
led in the new state capitol, nearing
completion. After the first session,
the legislators gave way to the me
chanics and until the work of con
struction is completed will utilize the
old statehouse.
Austin, Texas. —The legislature of
Texas convened in thirty-second ses
sion to adopt "fewer and better” laws.
The prohibition question will be the
first of the more impoitant measures
to be disposed of. In advance it has
been tentatively agreed by the two
sides to the controversy that the ques
tion should be put up to the voters
at an early date
Mother and Babe Asphyxiated.
Asheville, N. C. —Mrs. H. O. Bannis
ter, wife of the manager of the West
ern Union telegraph office at Raleigh,
and her 17-months-old son were as
phyxiated at the home in that city.
The mother entered the bathroom, fol
lowed by her child, to use an instan
taneous gas ' heater. Later the serv
ant was horrified to find the lifeless
form of Mrs. Bannister on the floor
and that of the child across a chair.
Pomerene Senator From Ohio.
Columbus, Ohio.—Atlee Pomerene
of Canton will be elected United
States senator from Ohio at a joint
session of the general assembly, as
a result of action at a joint caucus
of Democrats. Pomerene won the
caucus nomination on the first bal
lot when he received 45 votes, the
exact number required. He has just
been Inaugurated as lieutenant gov
ernor of Ohio.
Carnegie Trust Company Closed.
New York.—The Carnegie Trust
company, one of the largest banking
institutions in the city, with deposits
of nearly nine million dollars, closed
its door 3 by order of State Superin
tendent of Banks Cheney. The sus
pension hardly caused a ripple in the
financial district, where the trust com -
pany was often reported in.a shaky
condition. Officials.of the trust com
pany were'loth to jji'scujss the failure.

ABOLISH SECRET SERVICE
GREAT CRIME-DETECTING ORGAN
IZATION IS TO BE DISCON
UED SHORTLY.
GENERAL ECONOMY PLAN
Government Detective Force Will In
Future Be Conducted by De
partment of Jsutice.
Washington.—The famous United
States secret service, as a separate
organization, is to be abolished.
As the great crime-detecting force
of the United States, the secret ser
vice is soon to be supplanted by the
investigating force now being aug
mented under the department of jus
tice. The force already on hand h
being increased from time to time,
and it was learned that the depart
ment is making arrangements to es
tablish permanent headquarters in
most of the large cities of the coun
try.
The cities where the new forces of
special agents of the attorney general
are to have permanent headquarters
are Seattle, San Francisco, Los Ange
les, El Paso, San Antonio, New Or
leans, Kansas City, St. Louis, Denver,
Buffalo, Chicago, New York, Philadel
phia, Boston, and Atlanta. The offices
in Chicago and New York already
have been established with six men
each.
Even the stale department work has
lately been turned over to the agents
of the department of justice. In all
South American troubles, where revo
lutions have been smoldering, the in
spection work has been done by the
department of justice instead of the
secret service as heretofore.
SENATOR ELKINS DEAD.
West Virginia Statesman Passes
Away in Washington.
Washington.—Senator Stephen B.
Elkins of West Virginia died at his
home in this city. At his bedside
were his wife, daughter Katherine
and four sons, David, Richard, Ste
phens and Blaine and his physicians.
Death was due to septicaemia or to
blood poisoning. He was conscious
until within a half hour of death.
Mr. Elkins was born in Ohio in
1841. While still very young he went
with his father’s family to Missouri.
While serving as delegate in ’con
gress Mr. Elkins married the eldest
daughter of Henry Gassaway Davis,
then senator from West. Virginia. Soon
after his marriage he established his
home in that state, and there he built
up a great fortune, largely through
the development of the natural devel
opment of the natural resources of
the state.
Charleston, W. Va.—Davis Elkins,
son of the late United States Senator
Stephen B. Elkins, will be the suc
cessor to the vacancy caused by tbe
death of his father for the few days
that will elapse pending tne election
of a senator by the legislature. Gov.
W. E. Glasscock made announcement
of his intention to make the tempora
ry appointment.
Democrat Succeeds Hale.
Augusta, Me.—Charles F. Johnson
of Waterville, Democratic candidate
for governor of Maine in 1892. and
again in 1894, was nominated on the
first ballot at the Democratic caucus
to succeed Senator Epgine Hale at
the expiration of the latter’s term on
March 4" next. As’tbe Maine .legisla
ture. is safely Democratic,, his nomina
tion is regarded as equivalent, to an.'
election. ..He, ( will be the first Demo
crat to represent Maine in the senate
since 1847.
Railways riynY’Tor ‘'Mountain Pass.
Waterville, N. C.—Two opposing
construction crews, representing the
Transcontinental. Railroad company
and the Tennessee and Western North
Carolina railroad, are' fighting for pos
session of right-of-way through a dlf •
"ficult mountain pass near . Newport,
Tenn., and Waterville.. „W. J. Oliver,
who is building the railroad from Se'-
Vierville, Tenn., through, the moun
tains to Greenville, S. C., is thought
to be interested In the project. Both
forces express determination to hold
_!ia oass at any cost.
LABOR CONTRACTS INVALID.
Many Important Decisions Are Hand
ed Down by the Supreme
Court.
Washington.—The fight of the Fed
eral government to have tbe "labor
contract" law of Alabama declared un
constitutional finally met with suc
cess when the Supreme court of the
United States held the law invalid.
Th® government claimed that the law
reduced hundreds of negroes to a state
akin to peonage.
The question of the constitutional
ity of the law was raised in the case
of Alonzo Bailey, a'negro laborer for
the Riverside company. The law made
it a misdemeanor for any person to
enter into a contract to labor, re
ceive advance pay and then fail to do
the work without refunding the money
advanced.
The breach of the contract was
made proof on toe face of things of
intent to defraud and under a rule
of Alabama law, the laborer was not
permitted to rebut this proof by tes
tifying as to his unexpressed intention
at the time of making the contract.
Justice Hughes, who announced the
opinion of the court, said the court at
the outset dismissed the point that
Bailey was a black man, because there
was nothing in the statute that dis
closed a discrimination against ne
groes.
Washington.—The bank guaranty
laws of Oklahoma, Nebraska and Kan
sas were declared constitutional by
the Supreme court of the United
States, and thus the fight over the
establishment of the policy of guaran
teeing, through the state, deposits in
banks was won by the advocates of
such a policy.
Washington.—By unanimous decis
ion, the Supreme court of the United
States decided that the Federal gov
ernment could not maintain the so
called "Panama canal libel suit”
against the Press Publishing compa
ny of New York, in the Federal courts
of New York.
In effect, the decision was that the
Federal court had no jurisdiction over
the alleged offense, because the case
might have been brought in a state
court.
In effect, this libel was the publi
cation of articles stating that Charles
P. Taft, Douglas Robinson and Wil
liam Nelson Cromwell, with J. P. Mor
gan and others, obtained control of
the Panama canal route for about
•',>3,000,000, and by the co-operation ot
Theodore Roosevelt, then president of
the UniteiJ States, and brother-in-law
of Mr. Robinson, and William H. Taft,
then secretary of war, and brother of
Mr. Taft, were enabled to effect the
sale of the Panama canal to the Unit
ed States at a profit of $36,000,000.
Washington.—The liability of em
ployers in cases where employees are
not injured in the performance of duty
cannot be escaped according to a
brief filed by the government in the
United States Supreme court. The
cases against the Southern Pacific
railroad. The road claims liability ex
emption under common law, whereas
the government claims the common
law has been superseded by regula
tions of the interstate commerce com
mission.
■ Washington.—The .Carmack amend
ment to the act to regulate commerce,
which-makes the initial carrier re
sponsible for the loss or damage to a
shipment of goods while en route,
even though the merchandise has
passed out of the hands of the origi-*
nal carriers and into the hands of
a connecting carrier, was upheld by
the Supreme court.
The case decided by the court was
that qf.the Atlantic Coast Line vs.
the Riverside Mills, brought in the
United States district, epurt of the
southern district of Georgia.
Government Sues Steamer Lines. ■
New York. —The Federal govern
ment brought,.suit in the-United States
circuit court, under the Sherman anti
trust; law, .against thirteen of the prin
cipal trans-Atlantic £ carriers, which
are estimated to control 90 per cent,
of the steerage traffic worth to them
$65,000,000 a year. These thirteen
companies, the government charges,
entered into an illegal contract Feb
ruary 5, 1908. at London, *to kill all
competition., As . a result several
trans-Atlantic lines were forced out
ot business.
SOME
PIG
STORIES
Good Times in South Georgia.
Albany, Ga. —In a recent issue of
the Albany Herald the following very
expressive paragraph appeared: "It’s
hog-k-illing time down here in God’s
country; there’s corn in more cribs
than ever before, and the goose hangs
high—glory, hallelujah!”
Single Porker Brings S6O.
Sandersville, Ga. —Knight brothers
have killed one pig which weighed
597 pounds net, the largest that has
been reported in the county this year.
They also killed nine others that aver
aged 200 pounds each. At the current
prices the big hog is worth $59.70 and
the others $ 1 SO, making a total of
$239.70.
Home Feed for Big Hog.
Elberton, Ga. —P. \V. Cleveland,
who looks after the electric light
plant for the city and runs an up-to
date farm on the side, comes forward
with a big hog himself. It weighed
523 pounds gross. The hog was rais
ed in a pasture until time to fatten
It was a cross of a Berkshire and the
Big Bone Guinea. Cleveland killed
the hog himself, and believes it net
ted him between 550 and 3*?5 pounds
of meat. He raised everything to feed
to the hog.
$2,000 Pork Yield.
Moultrie, Ga.—Jefferson county has
a pork yield of $2,000. Brooks county
will have a crop worth SIOO,OOO this
year. Colquitt county is likewise
coming to be a leading meat-raising
county. The amount raised this year
will far exceed that of any previous
year.
A Profitable Investment.
Jasper, Ga.—Ben Haygood of near
Sharptop mountain bought a sow pig
last March ahd has sold $29 worth
of pigs from her, and has one pig
still, for which he will not take SB,
and still has the sow. They have bad
the benefit of the range, and have only
cost him about SB. He is thinking of
raising hogs on a large scale next
year.
Champion Hog Killer.
Dublin, Ga.—W. G. Towns is prob
ably the champion hog raiser of this
county. iMr. Towns runs only one
plow, but he has raised this year 26
head of hogs. He has already killed
eleven. The largest weighed 337
pounds and the smallest 108 pounds.
The large hog was 18 months and 8
days old. The hog weighed a half
pound each day of its age.
So Fat He Couldn’t Walk.
Tennille, Ga.—A few days ago J.
T. Jones, who lives nine miles south
of here, killed his biggest hog. After
being dressed it weighed 500 pounds.
The hog was of the Duroc Jersey
breed and 16 months old. A 250-pound
hog is a large one. Twice that size
makes a hog almost big enough to
exhibit in a circus. For some time
the hog was too fat to walk about,
and was lying down most of the time.
Mr. Jones states he has thirty more
that will average 150 pounds he will
kill before the winter is over.
Where There Is No Stock Law.
Dahlonega, Ga. —Jim Waters killed
a 10-months-old hog which weighed
372 pounds, and its mate will weigh
400, and neither one has ever been
in a pen. This shows what a farmer
can do in the mountains where there
is no stock law —raise their meat with
very little expense and have some left
over to sell.
Luxuries Without Cost.
Eleberton, Ga.—L. M. Fortson, one
of t;je best farmers in the Dove's
creek neighborhood, killed two pigs
recently that netted 800 pounds of
meat. The hogs were aged 15 and 17
months, respectively. They were fine
6tock, of the Poland China breed. The
cost of raising the meat is one of easy
calculation. About thirty bushels of
corn was fed to them. Mr. Fortson
has meat enough to do his family until
he shall kill hogs next year. Besides,
he has gallons and gallons of the very
finest and purest leaf lard, pork sau
sage and all other good “trimmings”
that are classed as et ceteras, but
which contribute so much to the eat
ing joys of country life. In making
the calculation as to the cost of the
30 bushels of corn, it should be re
membered that Mr. Fortson didn’t pay
anything for that —he raised it on his
farm.
Side Line.
Macon, Ga.—J. E. Barlow, who lives
at 343 Flanders street, in East Ma
.con, says that "in these hog-killing
days he does not want to be left out.
He has just killed a 19-montus-old
weighed 393 pounds, and
which netted' him $59, besides 50
pounds of lard which lie reserved fo?
himself. He lias killed a number of
iiogs recently, each netting him a
snug sum, but he seems to hpve real
ized.- rijore from this 393-ppquder than
from tiie others. This is only a side
line with Mr. Barlow. , . .

STUBBORN ECZEMA ON HANDS
"Some nine years ago I noticed
small pimples breaking out on tie
back of my hands. They became very
irritating, and gradually became
worse, so that I could not sleep at
night. I consulled a physician who
treated me a long time, but it got
worse, and I could not put my hands
In water. I was treated at the hos
pital, and it was just the same. I was
told that it. was a very bad case of
eczema. Well, I just kept on using
everything that I could for nearly
eight years until I was advised to try
Cuticura Ointment. 1 did so, and l
found after a few applications and by
bandaging my bands well up that tba
burning sensations were disappearing,
I could sleep well, and did not have
any itching during the night. I began
after a while to use Cuticura Soap lor
a wash for them, and 1 think by using
the Soap and Ointment I was much
benefited. I stuck to the Cuticura
treatment, and thought if I could use
other remedies for over seven years
with no result, and after only having
a few applications and finding ease
from Cuticura Ointment, I thought it
deserved a fair trial with a severe
and stubborn case. I used the Oint
ment and Soap for nearly six months,
and I am glad to say that 1 have
hands as clear as anyone.

conceived it to be a place where, ..
one should trust bis fellow men, lie
should at tiie same time keep an eye
on liis own interests.
One hot day lie pulled off bis coat
and preached a vigorous sermon, un
der the pines, in his shirt sleeves. At
the close of the open-air service one
of his admirers approached him and
said, regretfully:
“1 don’t suppose that you knew that
the editor of one of the big New York
Sunday papers was here when you
pulled off your coat.”
“I reckon I knew it well for I'd
