THE ATLANTA UEUitUlAJN AMD MEWS. 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. Presents Given to Fiancee Can Not Be Regained by Hubby Prospective bridegrooms, take no tice. Presents handed over to your in tended before the knot is tied be come her individual property forever. There’s no way to get them back, even after the marriage and separa tion.

Before their marriage, Hartz gave her a diamond sunburst. Then they married, later they separated, and while Mrs. Hartz w*as in a hospital Hartz took possession of the sun burst, on the ground that what was his wife’s was at least half his.

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.

Chaniberlin=Johnson=DuBose Company 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. Chamberlin=Johnson=DuBose Company
