Florida Solons Pass
Six Anti-Liquor Bills
Dispensary Bill Goes Through
in Amended Form —Dry Coun
ty Shipments Prohibited
Tallahassee, Fla., May 24.—The
house passed six temperance meas
ures including the Davis dispensary
bill, which brought on a light from
the liquor men. One section of the
bill, which prohibited the sale of
intoxicants- in less quantities than
half pints in sealed packages and
prohibiting giving away of liquors,
was killed by amendment. The
Davis hill has passed the senate by
a large vote, but the house amend
ment killed its force.
The Tomlin bill, preventing the
frequenting of saloons and other
drinking places by minors, passed
unanimously.
The Blitch senate bill prohibiting
the shipment of liquors to dry coun
ties only to persons for private use
passed by sixty-four to three This
is practically the same as the Webb
bill recently passed by congress.
The Adkins bill, regulating the
manufacture of liquors in counties
where manufacture is allowed on
application to county commissioners,
passed by sixty-seven to one.
Johnson’s senate hill, prohibiting
the soliciting of orders for the sale
of liquors in counties where it is
prohibited, passed unanimously.
The Blitch bill, regulating hours
and time of delivery by common
carriers of intoxicating liquors,
passed unanimously.
The senate passed the appropria
tion bill for the state educational
institution, adding SB,OOO to the
original appropriation of §428,000
for the purchase of an organ for the
Florida state college for women,
making the total $436,000.
That Deadly Cigartette
There have been many things said
against the use of the cigarette, and
tobacco in general, but a recent
statement made by a lecturer in the
city opened the eyes of a few who
heard it. It was to the effect that
out of the great uumber of college
graduates only 2 in every 100 are
cigarette smokers who have learned
the habit during the freshman
year. The unanimous opinion of the
presidents of all the leading colleges
in that a cigarette smoker rarely
takes a diploma for the simple fact
that the constant use of tobacco
makes it impossible for him to be
able to learn well enough to get a
diploma from the college. Another
statement -was to the effect that no
boy who is a habitual smoker will
ever be able to graduate from the
high school, to say nothing of col
lege because the effects of the tobac
co have so dulled his brain that it
is impossible for him to understand
and learn well enough to pass his
examinations — Dublin Courier

Friday afternoon about live
o’clock an interesting looking cou
ple drove up in front of The Citi
zens Bank and inquried for the Or
dinary. Our High Sheriff the
Ilonorable .1. A. Floyd, happened
to be passing that way and the
couple asked him if he could not
furnish them with a marriage li
cense. Our genial custodian of the
law informed them it was" entirely
beyond his jurisdiction, but ever
accomodating and responsive to his
fellowman incallsof importance, he
forthwith offered his services in lo
cating the Honorable Judge Miletus
Wynne, who seemed to have stray
ed from his office. About this
time several sleepy citizens of our
erstwhile quiet village joined in the
pursuit of the much needed official,
and in a few minutes his chubby
form was seen angling down the
sidewalk.
The license was quickly issued
and amid a crowd of twelve or lif'
teen lookers on, who had gathered in
front of the buggy, the solemn voice
of our dignified Ordinary was heard
Moating out on the gentle zephyrs,
joining together in the holy bonds
of wedlock, Miss Annie O’neal to
Mr. Ira Carr.
The Journal extends congratula
tions and wishes the couple much
future happiness and success.

All Aboard For
Brown’s Palace
Mr Percy Lynne has come to our
city from Eastman and is giving us
one of the best cleanest and
most instructive picture shows we
know of. This is a first class
attraction and is a credit to a town
the size of Cochran and it certainly
deserves liberal patronage. These
attractions deserve the patronage of
our people not alone because they
furnish good clean, entertainments
but they are also educational.
The price is so small, that scores
of our people who desire an hour or
so of relaxation after supper should
stroll up to Brown’s Palace. You
will not only get your money’s worth,
but you will help maintain a deserv
ing enterprise.
We daresay there is nothing that
will equal this establishment of this
kind in any town in the State of
Georgia twice the size of Cochran.
He has gone to a considerable
expense in making this place one of
the most beautiful, cleanest and
most sanitary establishment of the
kind in all this country, and such
an effort deserves full success. He
hasafull line of cigars, toilet articles,
fancy candies, etc. Whenever you
want a cool drink or a good amok o
or some eecellent fresh fancy candy
for your best girl call around at the
Palace.
Young men you could not take
your sweeahearts to a nicer place
than the moving picture show and
married men get out of your shells
and take your wife and children,
they like to go to the show as well
as the young men’s sweethearts.
All aboard for Brown’s Palace
for a good wholesome time.

Friedmann’s “Cure”
Called Cruel Fraud
New York Health Board Asked
to Prohibit Use of the Serum
New York, May 26. —Dr. Joseph
J. O’Connell, health officer of the
port of New York, sent a letter to
day to Health Commissioner Lederie,
requesting him to submit to the
board of health at its meeting a
resolution prohibiting the adminis
tration of the Friedmann treatment
for tuberculosis in New York “until
such time as those interested affirma
tively in its administration shall
satisfy the health department of its
innocleus character.”
“Reports of the investigator of
your department,” reads the let
ter in part, “are that dangers which
might be apprehended in such a form
of treatment are actually present
therein.” He finds that patients
subjected to this treatment have not
improved, but have lost ground.
“He finds that where the tubercu
losis condition had affected one side
prior to inoculation with the serum
(sic) that was after such inoculation
an unnaturally rapid development
of the tubercular process on the
hitherto healthy side, which indi
cates that the operation of the
alleged cure had a tendency to
accelerate rather than retard the
progress of the disease.”
“It seems to me that it would be
culpable for us to no longer hesitate,
and our duty now is to insist upon
such a regulation and supervision
of this enterprise as shall prevent
the perpetration upon the public of
a cruel and dangerous fraud. ’ ’
“The wide advertisement of the
serum has had an effect of awaken
ing a final, fitful hope in'the breasts
of the desperately ill, which shrewd
and conscienceless men might turn
into an immense financial profit.
There has been time and opportuni
ty in plentiful measure extended to
Dr. Friedmann and those who pro
pose similar remedies for tubercu
losis, to demonstrate the theraputic
value of their treatments, but there
has been no such demonstration of
value. On the other hand, we have
before us reports of the gravest
character. ’ ’
