The combination formed by "dry" members of the House and the mem bers who oppose all tax revision to defeat bills favored by Speaker W. II Burwell and Governor Slaton was broken, for the present at least. Fri day morning, when the House voted to reconsider its action Wednesday in defeating the constitutional amend ments limiting the school levy to 2 1-2 mills and the pension levy to 1 1-2 mills. The votes on the motions to recon sider, which were offered by Full- bright. of Burke, were 86 to f>7 ami 8** to 58, ^respectively. The action of the House Is re garded as a victory for Speaker Bur- well, and indicates that some of Ids bills, which are administration meas ures. may be passed in spite of the opposition tax reform foes and "dry" members said to be moved by a de sire for revenge because of failure to get the Webb bill out of commit tee. Bills To Be Put on Passage. With the action of the House re considered, the two bills—the school levy and the pension levy—undoubt edly will be brought up for passage at this session. It Is understood they may be placed on the calendar for Saturday or Monday. The placing of the bill Is solely In the hands of the Rules Committee, anti while its members would not convict them selves. one member stated positively that the House would be given an op portunity to pass the bills during the present session. Speaker Burwell has been hard at work trying to heal the wounds caused by his ruling Wednesday, when he declared the Kidd resolu tion, tailing the Hixon-Searcy bill out of committee, out of order, and indications are he has succeeded. The fight against Fullbright's mo tion to reconsider was feeble, though its voting strength was fairly large. Wallace Miller, of Bibb County, led i he opposition to the motion. He de- • la red the fixing of 2 1-2 mills as the limit of levy for school purposes would result in appropriating that ;i mount each year, inasmuch as money is always appropriated up to the limit Mr. Kidd Is Turned Down. Mr. Fullbright made but a short speech in favor of his motion, de claring the opponents of the bills had defeated them by spreading the er roneous impression that they would increase taxation. Mr. Kidd, of Baker, tried to lead a tight against Speaker Burwell at the opening of the Friday morning ses sion. His effort iailed, because Speaker Burwell refused to recognize Air. Kidd. When the report of the Rules Committee was submitted to tin House, the Speaker asked the usual question: "Is there objection to the adoption of the report?” "I object," shouted Mr. Kidd, in a tone that could have been heard a block. "The (’hair hears none," announced the Speaker. Had Mr. Kidd been able to defeat the report of the Rules Committee, which fixes the work for the day, it was his evident intention to attempt to again introduce his resolution call ing the Hixon-Searcy bill out of committee.

KING HARDWARE CO. 53 Peachtree 87 Whitehall cJGtfjs; K :°2> i£!i oO* ' m The Kind You Have Always Bought. a THIS is the caution applied to the public announcement of Castoria that has been manufactured under the supervision of Chas. H. Fletcher for over 30 years—the genuine Castoria. We respectfully call the attention of fathers and mothers fahen purchasing Chstoria to see that the wrapper bears his signature in black. When the wrapper is removed the same signature appears on both sides of the bottle in red. Parents who have used Castoria for their little ones in the ast years need no warning against counterfeits and imitations, but our present uty is to call the attention of the younger generation to the great danger of intro ducing into their families spurious medicines. It is to be regretted that there are people who are now engaged in the nefarious business of putting up and selling all sorts cf substitutes, or what should more properly be termed conterfeits, for medicinal preparations not only for adults, but worse yet, for children’s medicines. It therefore devolves on the mother to scrutinize closely what she gives her child. Adults can do that for themselves but the child has to rely on the mother’s watchfulness. Letters from Prominent Druggists addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher. Central Drug Co., of Detroit, Mich., says: “We consider your Castoria tn a class distinct from patent medicines and commend it.” Christy Drug Stores, of Pittsburg, Pa., say: “We hare sold your Castoria for so many years with such satisfactory results that we cannot, refrain from saying a good word for it when we get a chance. Jacob Bros., cf Philadelphia. Pa., say: “We take pleasure in recom mending Fletcher’s Castoria as one of the oldest and best of the prepara tions of the kind upon the market.” Hess & McCann, of Kansas City, Mo., say: 'Tour Castoria always gives satisfaction. We have no substitute for it and only sell ‘The Kind You Have Always Bought,’ the original.” The Voegell Bros., of Minneapolis, Minn., say: “We wish to say that we have at all times a large demand for Fletcher's Castoria at all of our three stores and that it gives universal satisfaction to our trade.” Polk Miller Drug Co., of Richmond, Va., says: "Your Castoria Is one of the most satisfactory preparations we have ever handled. It seems to satisfy completely the public demand for such an article and is steadily creating a growing sale by its merit.” P. A. Capdau, of New Orleans, La., says: "We handle every good home remedy demanded by '"the public and while our shelves are thoroughly equipped with the best of drugs and proprietary articles, there are few if any which have the unceasing sale that your Castoria has.” M. C. Dow, of Cincinnati, Ohio, says: "When people in increasing num bers purchase a remedy and continue buying it for years; when it passes the fad or experimental stage and becomes a household necessity, then It can be said Its worth has been firmly established. We can and do gladly offer this kind of commendation to Fletcher’s Castoria.” GENUINE CASTORIA ALWAYS Bears the Signature of ALCOHOL 3 PER CEN'l.
