“WORTH A HUNDRED
DOLLARS A BOTTLE"
Railroad Man Praises Tanlac
For Wife’s Recovery—Says
She Goes About Now With
Her Old Time Energy.
"My wife says Tanlac has been
worth a hundred dollars a bottle to
her and I fully agree with her," said
,T. G. Nichols, of 4711 Summit street,
Kansas City, Mo., an employee of the
Missouri Pacific Railroad there.
"For three years," he continu'ed,
“my wife suffered greatly from stom
ach trouble, her appetite was poor and
her food caused gas to form and she
was miserable for hours afterwards.
She was so nervous that she seldom
got a good night's rest, and felt so
tired and worn out that she could
hardly get ont of bed in the morn
ings: she kept losing weight and
strength till she could hardly keep
on her feet.
“Soon after starting on Tanlac her
appetite returned and she can now
eat anything she wants and it never
gives her any trouble. Her stomach
is in fine condition, her nervousness is
gone and she sleeps like a baby. She
says she is in better health than she
has been in a long time, and she new
goes about her housework with all her
old-time strength and energy."
Tanlac is sold in Augusta by How
ard’s drug store and leading drug
gists and dealers in practically every
city, town and village in America.—

only talk in whispers, I got her a
bottle of Mayr’s Wonderful Remedy

about and walked a mile to church.”
It is a simple, harmless preparation
that removes the catarrhal mucus from
the intestinal tract and allays the in

all stomach, liver and intestinal ail

CITY ATTORNEY SAYS CONTRACT WITH THE
STREET RAILWAY CO. GRANTING EXEMPTIONS
FROM PAVING IS AN ILLEGAL AGREEMENT
Convincing Argument By Archibald Blackshear In Hearing Be
fore Judge Hammond Monday—Court Congratulates At
torney Jackson Upon Splendid Defense of Street Railway.
Hearing to Be Renewed Tuesday Judge Hammond’s
Private Opinion is That Any Street Railway is "‘An Invention
of the Devil,” So Far As Transportation is Concerned
Confining his argument almost entirely
to the controversy between the City or
Augusta and the Augusta-Aiken Railway
& Electric Corporation over the payment
of a paving bill of SII,OOO presented the
company for paving laid on Monte Sano
Avenue, which is really the sole issue id
litigation now under way in superior
court. City Attorney Archibald Black
shear, at an adjourned hearing of the
railway case before Judge Hammond
alonday afternoon, told the court why in
nis opinion the railway company should
made to bear its share of the burden
°* keeping up the city’s streets.
“rhe city cannot be bound by any such
agreement as the City of Summerville
made with the street railway company
in 1900,” declared Mr. Blackshear. “Ad
mitting that the ordinance did exempt
ne company from paving assessments.
Summerville acted without authority from
the legislature to deal with the subject.
A common council cannot, barter away
any of the city’s governmental rights.
The legislature must authorize a municip
ality to enter into such a contract as is
here at issue. Anyone making a contract
with a city should know and keep in mind
the limited power of the city or its agents
to bind itself.”
Mr. Blackshear quoted a great number
authorities to bear out his contentions
and cited innumerable cases of the same
variety as the present litigation to show
that the city cannot be bound as the rail
way company believt s and contends it is
today. The city attorney also pointed out
that the conveying of rights and priv
ileges of one corporation to another shall
not include exemption from taxation,
having reference nero to the organiza
tion of the Augusta Railway & Electric
Company with a charter containing pav
ing exemptions and the alleged transfer
of this prerogative to the Augusta-A ikon
Kail way & JOleetric Corporation upon con
sultation of the old Augusta company
with the Augusta and Aiken Railway
POINTS TO LEGISLATIVE ACT
OF 1887 AS ILLUSTRATION.
The ordinance of 1890. requiring the
street railway company to pave between
its tracks and three feet on either side,
which the railway company now contends
was repealed in 1896 and the repeal re
affirmed in 1901. was based upon a leg
islative act of 1887, according to Mr.
Blackshear. This act. which was a pav
int- act for the benefit of Augusta re
quired the street railway to pave, upon
the direction of city council, between Us
tracks and 3 foot on either aide.
The city attorney contends that the
city s efforts to collect payment from the
street railway for work done on Monte
Uano Avenue is in the nature of an as
sessment rather than a tax and that no
council or other city agency lias the au
thority to barter away this privilege.
The street railway is more rfhnofltted
than anyone else by the paving. Mr.
Blackshear contended. He says it pro
tects the tracks and road bed 'and facili-
LHtes transportation, and asks why the
city’s tax money should be used for the
benefit of a public corporation. The con
tact. in Mr. Blackshear’s opinion, is in
its last analysis an illegal agreement en
ARTHUR B. JENKINS'
WAR DIARY
The success of the allies has taken all
of the starch out of the Germans. S'es
terday morning, one train loaded with
troops, guns, etc., passed through here,
on its way hack from the front. In the
afternoon another one followed. A guard
said yesterday afternoon that President
Wilson was giving them some very bitter
wine, that was hard to swallow, hut that
they would swallow it. and that there
would be a big change during the next
fourteen days, or there would be some
thing doing.
October 27th. Attended services in the
Russian Church, which they have loaned
to us. Corporal Upton read tTre lesson,
and Corporal Beskins attempted to
preach the sermon, hut not being able to
handle the task, he was, as usual, very
wearisome, and we were glad the
service was over He is somewhat illit
erate. and has a very poor command of
the English language, and this com
mand. combined with a very poor deliv
ery and habit of repetition make it a
torture to listen to him. The rnvtsic, as
usual, was good. We only have one re
gret, that Comrade Jatho did not con
duct the service in person.
The church is well worth a visit. The
altar is embellished with numerous
paintings, each and every one shows that
it was executed by an artist, as do the
numerous carvings the small double
doors leading into the room in the rear
of the ultar.
Early in the evening, WiS prisoners of
different regiments arrived from the
front.
October 28th. Drew’ Bed Cross rations
In the morning, and in the afternoon In
company with Corporal Upton and others
went down to Block 11 to give the cleri
cal force instructions regarding the cler
ical work in connection with the new ar
riavls. Corporal Upton gave the instruc
tions. Sergeant llalyburton, ably assist-,
ed by Private Oeoghagen, is in charge
of the block.
Needless to say, the inmates of the
other block enw the inmates of block
one The new arrivals who had receiv
ed their hath yestrday were busy today
having their pedigree taken, and draw
ing their Red Cross rations. Consequent
ly we did not have any opportunity of
talking with them.
Rumor says that the Crown Prince has
resigned and disappeared, and that Ger
many has sent another note asking for
an armistice.
October 29th. Today we heard that
Aulsrla-Hungary has separated, and
that each was to have a different gov
ernment. Hater in the afternoon, a no
tice was posted on the bulletin hoard,
giving Austria Hungary's note asking
peace. Burtng the night, we received our
first visit In a long time from the aero
planes. They certainly left some souve
nirs behind this lime. A few more vis
its like It would greatly expedite mat
ters Kive trains loaded with troops and
equipment passed through on their way
to the front. The barracks In Block 11
were given a much needed cleaning. The
weather is getting colder, the frost is
quite heavy. . . ,

today.
tered into by the City of AugusLt and
the street railway company.
The opening argument Monday after-*
noon was by Attorney George Jackson.
The court publico congratulated Mr.
Jackson upon ids splendid address and
both attorneys and spectators regarded
the argument in defense ol tin railway
company by Mr. Jackson as being of un
usual merit, lie spoke lor more than an
hour and a half.
SAYS CHARitR AGREEMENT
UANNOT bt REPUDIATED.
Mr. Jackson's arguments were along
tlie lines published in Sunday’s Herald.
The speaker told the court that tlK> laws
ot Georgia governing the grunting of
charters 10 street railway companies pro
vide th*t such charter must l*<. granted
with the agreement of the city authorities
and conditions must be hxod by these au
thorities. Mr. Jackson contended that
once these conditions were fixed and
agreed upon they cannot be repudiated by
later municipal or legislative acts.
In his eloquence the railway attorney
declared that he wished the people of
Augusta could hear this argument and
understand that the street railway was
not trying to t xact a “pound of flesh,”
but only asks that justice be done.
Mr. Win. 11. Barrett followed Mr. Black
slu-ar in the arguments. Mr. Barrett de
clared that it is a grim joke lor hun
dreds of thousands oi dollars to be spent
by the street railway in paving streets
when it means a loss of revenue to tlie
company; that by so doing they will in
crease thp use of bicycles and automobiles
ut u loss to themselves, or in other words
they would pay for demolishing competi
tion. Mr. Barrett declared that the city
has never considered the railway com
pany as to when, where or what kind of
paving it would put down and or what
would be the cost.
SAYS AUGUSTA ALWAYS
STOOD BY HER AGREEMENTS.
In his argument Mr. Barrett remarked
that one Augustan had told him that the
street railway furnished more comfort
and convenience for the price than any
other concern or organization in the city.
He pointed out that Augusta lias always
stood by lier agreements and paid her
debts: that the city has long had this
reputation, even before the civil war, and
that on numerous occasions has gone
Into debt illegally, but has never tried
to evade such obligations.
At this point of the argument, when
Mr. Barrett referred to the comfort and
conveniences afforded by the street rail
way. Judge Hammond remarked that he
considered a street railway “an invention
of the Devil,” and described any travel
by rail, steel to steel, as being the most
horrible transportation imaginable and
expressed the hope that science would
soon develop other means of travel that
would entirely do away with such facil
ities.
“But this is rtiy private opinion and
has nothing to do with this case.” the
judge added.
Mr. Barrett had not concluded his argu
ment when court adjourned at 8 o’clock
Monday evening. The hearing will he re
sumed at 4 o’clock Tuesday afternoon.

She has only to get an ounce of pure
powdered snxolite from her nearest drug
gist. and dissolve it in half a pint of
witch hazel. Apply this refreshing solu
tion to the face every day for a while.
The result is charming—marvelous. Even
after the very first treatment the wrinkles
show less plainly and the face has a nice,
firm, comfortable feeling that is thor
oughly delightful and lends self-confi
dence. in one’s appearance. This harm
less home remedy is used by thousands
of women to obliterate the unwelcome
traces of time.—adv.
Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair
ts you want to keep your hair in good
condition, bo careful what you wash
It with.
Most soaps und prepared shampoo*
contain too much alkali. This dries
the sculp, makes the hair brittle, and
Is very harmful. Mulslfied cocoanut
oil shampoo (which is pure and en
tirely greaseless), is much better than
anything else you can use for sham
pooing, as this can’t possibly Injure
the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub It Jn. One or two teaspoon
fuls will make an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather rin
ses out easily, and removes every par
ticle of dust, dirt, dandruff and exces
sive oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and It leaves it fine and silky,
bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get Mulslfied cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. It
Is very cheap, and a few ounces Is
enough to last everyone in the family
for months.—adv.
