'forts are being made by the Federal

what has come to be known os the tur
pentine trust, and the United States
jj.trict attorney here is co-operating
I *»lth the United States attorney for the
„njthern district of Georgia.
‘ The turpentine "combine" has its
headquarters In the South, and many
vomplnlnts have been received by the
government authorities concerning Its
Jneratlons. It Is alleged that a hard-
und-fitst agreement exists between the
t virlous constituent companies belong-
; mg to the so-called trust, and that the
hudness and territory have been dl-
! vHetl tip In regular octopus fashion.
Conference is Held.
,t representative of the district at
torney at Macon, Ga..' It is learned, has
teen in conference with the district
attorney here, and It Is understood the
government Is on the trail of the con-
| cent. It Is Intimated that the tut-pen-
ilne trust so-called is Influenced and
f controlled to a greater or less degree by
the Standard Oil Company, althuugh
government ofllclals are disposed to be
, reticent on this phase of the question., ----- ....

USE OF
ELECTRIC RAILWAY
Mayor Woodward has vetoed tho or
dinance arrantin^ a franchise to the At
lanta and Carolina Construction Com
pany for a right of way on. certain
streeta of the city for Interurban rail
way* to Conyers and West Point.
"I am not opposed to having the road
come here,** said Mayor Woodward,
out I am opposed to the route the
road has selected. It-Is entirely too
circuitous. There is no reason in the
world why this Interurban railroad—I
Isn't a street car line—should be al
lowed to pass along ail these streets.
"As a matter of fact, the interurban
company could select a suitable route,
against which there would hardly be a
single protest.”

If present ruto of Increase in Iho
tmtal receipts for the Atlanta postof-
He* continue* throughout the year the
fax-mass for 1906 over 1903 will be

fm i Ictober, 1906. were >77,399.34, on
Increase of 316,417.
Postmaster Blodgett has repeatedly
requested the authorities ut Washing
ton fill more help to handle the In
crease in volume of mail matter In the
■Ittantii office, but when the Increase In
force Is allowed the volume of mail
matter has Increased In the meanwhile
i"i much that It is beyond the efforts
"f i he roroe to take care of It.
Atlanta Is growing, growing, grow
ing. far beyond the expectations of
anyone.” said Postmaster Blodgett
Thursday morning, "and It has been all
we could do to take care of the In
crease in the mall matter. Atlanta Is
fifteenth In the second cluss matter ta
ble, while the city Is only thlrty-Tourth
In population. We handled over 8.000.-
•>"ii pounds of second class mull mat
ter in 1905. Atlanta newspapers ought
to be- proud of this fact.”

L, C. Hopkins, chairman of the board
of directors and the executive com

"Our committee lias made an ex
haustive examination of the records
and books of the office, and believe that
the report wlilrli vve have prepared,
covering the work of the society since
Its organisation, will not only prove
very Interesting to our members and
the public nt large, but will show that
the results accomplished here In At

Disregard Laws.
"But here we have a railroad com
pany to come In and do several weeks
work, without any authority or per
mission from the city council, and
nothing I* done to even cnll their at
tention to the fact that It la unlawful.
The city’s laws have' been entirely dis
regarded.
“It Is usually customary when the
property belonging to another la ap
propriated some arrangements for mak
ing just and proper reparation and
paying just compensation for It are
usually made. Rhoden street doesn't
exist now east of Haynes street for
two blocks, and the clly Is none the
better for It,
"Tho petition of the company Is now
pending before the streets committee
and some of tho blue prim* have just
been received. The matter has not yet
been considered, yet several streets
have been closed and obstructed and
tbe work of construction bas gone right
on. I think something ought to be
done.”
Mayor Woodward's Views.
Mayor Woodwind was asked Thurs
day morning what authority the road
or contractors had for proceeding with
the work, but said he did not know just
what privileges hed been granted by
the city council. He remembered that
something had been done by council,
but he was not acquainted with the
nature of the action. He said the road
was not doing the work, anyway; the
contractors were doing it.
•The breaking of the water main did
not cause any Inconvenience to the
city,” said Mayor Woodward, "and no
expense resulted from It The contrac
tor* have already been In the office to
And out about paying the expenses of
the accident- No householders were
discommoded, because all of them have
been moved away eaat of Haynes
street.
"If Rhode* street bae been closed,''
continued the mayor, "no one In that
section of the city has been put to any
inconvenience, because none of the peo
ple living In that rttcnlty uses or has
used that street. Magnolia street has
not been closed and traffic can get
through. The building of the trestle
has not closed that thoroughfare."
The mayor did not rfppear to be die
turbed or the- leaet bit uneasy about
the action of the contractors In pro
ceeding with the grading of the Gate
City terminals, as he claims the work
la not Interfering with anybody.
Chairman Key said Thursday morn
ing that the only-action the city coun
cil of Atlanta had taken In connection
with the work on the terminals was the
granting of permlselon to remove and
tear down several houses on the prop
erty purchased by the company In the
vicinity »f Mangum and Rhodes streeta.
John Lily.
The funeral services of John Lily,
who dropped dead after eating dinner
Monday afternoon, will be conducted
Friday afternoon at 2:20 o'clock. The
interment will be In Weatvlew ceme
tery. He was a member of Chief Jen
nings' Battery Troupe Artillery, during
the civil war.

Reasons for Dr. Jaegers Reforms
THE EVIL EFFECTS upon health, due to the material and form of the ordinarv clothing, were
hardly suspected until Mr. Gustav Jaeger, of Stuttgart, began to publish the results‘of his investiga
tion on the subject.
This distinguished German physician has established the fact flint most bodily ills may he pre
vented or cured by the adoption of proper clothing; and he has constructed a system based* on the
principle of pure animal fibre for clothing and bedding. Hence, tbe “Dr. Jaeger Sanitary Woolen
System.”
Fundamentals of Dr. Jaeger's Sanitary Clothing System. **
1. Animal Wool is a material provided by Nature for the clothing of an annual body.
-• Man, therefore, can be clothed naturally or properly only iii clothing of animal material.
3. W’oolen Clothing exerts its beneficial influences by virtue of its non-conductivity of heat aud
electricity, its permeability to moisture, its attraction for air and its repulsion for water.
These properties of the Dr. Jaeger Women Fabrics, and their relation to tho functions and exhala
tions of the skin, constitute the basis of the “Dr. Jaeger Sanitary Woolen System.”

Company, that tbe trust on Monday-
put an end to Its policy of cutting be
low the prices of the local concern. On
that date tbe Georgia company re

This Is said to be the same oil which
has been sold here by tly> Standard at
