REFUSE TO OBEY
Jacksonville Police Chief Declines
to Carry Out Instructions of
Mayor, to Reinstate Police.
JACKSONVILLE, Sept. 9.—Mayor
Van C. Swearingen has again taken
the bit in his teeth in the clash of
authority between himself and the
Board of Bond Trustees by demand
ing, through Captain Harry Hall, his
recognized head of the police depart
ment, the reinstatement of Police
men Clyde Davison and R. W. Willis.
The Mayor demands that they be put
to work with regular pay as rein
stated members of the department
after serving 30-day sentences for al
leged misconduct.
Captain Hall refused to accede to
Swearingen’s order, which was given
to him in person, on the ground that
he had no power to carry out the
Mayor’s orders against the decision
of the Board of Bond Trustees, who
had dismissed thhe men from ser
vice.
Then the matter was taken up with
Fred C. Roach, whose scalp the
Mayor has been seeking for several
months. Roach stood with the Bond
Trustees and declines to recognize the
two officers as members of the police
department.
Refusal of both officials to recog
nize the authority of the Mayor is ex
pected to have far-reaching results,
as a majority of the people appear to
side with the Mayor in his unceasing
warfare for the control of the police
force. , Everybody here is now' won
dering what effect the refusal of Hall,
who formerly had the support of the
Mayor, will have on their future re
lations.
Mayor Swearingen believes the sus
pended policemen have been suffi
ciently punished, and thinks scuare
deal demands that they be put back
to work. His attempt to force com-
’ pliance with his demand will be
fought to a finish.

SPENT $1,000 IN
VAIN, THEN RESINOL
CURED HIS ECZEMA
New York: “I became afflicted
with eczema twenty-five years ago.
I did everything for it. but the
itching and burning was so intense
and continual that in 1893 I put
myself in the care of a specialist.
The result was of little or not any
benefit.
Specialist Said to Use Resinol
“About 1898 I called on the doc
tor to ask him if he yet knew of
anything to cure me. He said.
‘Get a box of Resinol Ointment.’ I
got it. The itching stopped as if
by magic. By the time the jar of
Resinol was all used the cure was
perfected. I expended perhaps a
thousand dollars, and endured real
suffering for many years, and at
last was relieved and cured in a
month for the sum of fifty cents,
the price of one jar of Resinol.”
(Signed) Franklin Burt, late Capt.
U. S. Army, 81 Fulton St.
Better proof, even than such a
letter, is to try Resinol yourself
and see how quickly the itching
stop*- and stubborn skin or scalp ]
eruptions disappear. Every drug- i
gist sells Resinol Ointment and '
Resinol Soap. For free trial, write J

ATLANTA
NEW YORK
PARIS
TheBoxesFromParis and Estelle
JVlershon Are Open
And Now Atlanta Shall See What Are the
True and Authentic Millinery Fashions for Fall
The initial display of the true and au
thentic millinery fashions for Fall to-mor
row!
It marked a fine day for the women of
Atlanta when Chamberlin - Johnson - Du-
Bose Company so perfected its millinery
organization that now it can make such an
announcement as this. For here are hats
that you would spend days in finding in
Paris and others that Estelle Mershon has
adapted from Paris originals and has mod
ified better to suit Atlanta tastes.
That they are beautiful, exquisitely
beautiful, is a matter of course, but how
are they beautiful and how do they differ
from those that Paris sent 11s last Fall?
You shall see! You shall see that the
originality of
Evelyne Varon, Lewis, Jeanne Lanvin,Suzanne
Talbot, Marie Louise, Georgette,
Reboux, Hermance
knows no restrictions except those that de
fine grace, harmony—beauty. And yet
throughout there seems to run a style-
motif that will strike favor in Atlanta—
shapes are small and medium, colors are
rich, soft-toned; materials are rich,
plushes and velvets favored.
But though we have had small and
medium hats before and soft-toned colors,
plushes and velvets—never such hats,
never so many novelties.
Daring Jeanne Lanvin sends a black
velvet toque of the Hindustan type on
which she has put a stiff black tuft of os
trich in front and a string of rhinestones
beneath the chin.
One of the Maison Lewis novelties is
the use of patent leather; a rosewood hat
with vulture quills lias a brim faced with
black j latent, leather.
Marie Louise sends another exquisite
shade of blue this year—developed by her
artist-husband. The hat itself of this
shade has been adapted by Estelle Mer
shon. It is a soft “tarn” of duvetyne.
Reboux narrow ribbons and small
pointed wings (tete de nege) cover the
crown of a gold colored hat.
But we are speaking of these details,
glorious and wonderful in actuality, too
much, as a matter of fact.
See them to-morrow as they are, the
lines, the grace (for more than ever hats
are to be fitted and poised and set this
year—the bandeau is used in many), the
colors, the gold, the dark greens, the cor-
beau blue, the rose, the shades of purple,
the pastel shades, these particularly as
Madeline has used them in ostrich on a
black velvet liat.
To-morrow is the day, the hats are
ready and you are invited to the ushering
in of the authentic Fall styles by Chamber-
lin-Johnson-DuBose Company.
