Or Turner Solomon Can't Get His Case Be-
fore the Supreme Court.
AS stated in last weeks NEWS, Judge
Sheffield was in the city Wednesday to
hear motion for a new trial for Turn
Solomon, convicted of killing Owen
Cross, the injunction to prevent the sale
Of the waterworks, and the application
20 SELL the plant and property of the
Dawson Variety Manufacturing Com
pany.
The attorneys for Solomon, in their eff
forts for new trial, relied mostly upon
the confession of Harris Floyd, but the
motion was promptly overruled. If Sol
ONION can raise enough money to defray
expenses his lawyers will appeal to the
supreme court otherwise, they will aban-
don further effort in his behalf. They say
that they have already contributed much
time and expense to the prisoner with
out any remuneration.
After hearing argument of counsel in
the injunction proceedings TO prevent
the salessof the Dawson Waterworks Co.'S.
plant for city taxes, the case was cOntin-
ued to the May term of court, when it
will be passed upon by jury. Although
the court expressed no opinion, it was
evident that he was inclined to the side
of the waterwOrks company in the con-
tentiOn.
The application to sell the Dawson

continued by agreement until the May

w transient nature of the many physs
ical ills which vanish before proper eff.
forts-gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andi
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. tbs therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, %
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrupof
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

ing cotton. This is not only attracting the
attention of all cotton men of America,
but also commanding the hearty co-opera-
ton of the cotton mills of the world. In
place of the old, clumsy, badly covered, In
fiammable bale of the last 100 years the
new round bale, completely covered, fully
protected from water and mud, as well as
from all danger of fire, is coming to the
front. The cost of insurance, handling,
storing, ETC., is greatly reduced by this
system. The ArkwrIght Club, of Boston,
composed of leading cotton manufacturers
of New England, decided a few days ago
to give preference to the improved system
of handling cotton, recognizing the fact
that 1t is a great step in advance and of
common benefit to all interests to the cot
ton mills as consumers as well as to the
farmers as producers of the staple. And
recently the writer received a letter from
Mr.. Pratt, president of the Huntsville,
Ala, cotton mills, in which he said that
after testing the matter he was satisfied
that his mills could pay 81 a bale more for
round-bale cotton than for the old square
bale, showing that southern mills, as well
as New England mills will be benefited.
On a 100000 00-bale crop this would mean
$50 100000 difference. Under this change
the whole cotton handling system seems
destined to undergo a revolution of far
reaching influence.

here, and It is against the rule for an army
officer to carry a bundle or even an UNI
brella in the street, partly because he must
have his hands free at all times SO as to
be ready with his military salute. and
partly because a lot of bundles would de-
tract from the imposing appearance the
uniform Is expected to lend its wearer So
we have the curious spectacle of officers
walking with ladies and letting the ladies
carry the bundles If there are any to carry;
l have even seen an officer marching
grandly along, his sword clanking upon
the sidewalk while beside him trudged
his wife, meekly carrying his hat box. Or
more curious still to American eyes, have
seen a big strapping officer, full to over
flowing of beer and sausages, going to the
railroad station followed by a servant maid
carrying his heavy valise And saw the
girl carry the valise to the car, and not
only that. but aboard the car put 1t up In

Brutal to Women.
The custom of the country seems to be to
give women the hardest and most unpleas-
ant work. In southern Germany women
mix mortar for new buildings and act as
hod-carriers; women clean the streets, ana
I have met scores of women dressed IN
trousers working upon the country roads.
The sight of woman and dog pulling
cart together is almost too common in the
streets of Munich and Dresden to be mem
toned here. The whole custom seems to
come from the desire to save pfennigs, for
women will work for less than men.
Not to stretch this account of the inl-
portance of the pfennig beyond proportion
/ will add but one instance of the pains to
which the average German will put him
self in order to save them. At the Mu-
mich opera house a line is formed every af-
ternoon by those persons who want to buy
admission tickets to the gallery, and some
times these people, men and women, have
to stand for an hour or more before the
door is opened. Meantime an employe or
the house peddles programmes of the COM
ing performance at 10 pfennigs apiece. The
fee to hear opera is absurdly small as COM
pared with American prices, ranging from
$1.50 for the best seats to 20 cents in the
gallery, but you have to pay for your pro-
gram. Even here, however, the thrifty
German saves his pfennigs, for on any af-
ternoon you can see men and women while
waiting in line, busily copying the pro-
gramme off on scraps of paper. One reck-
less person in the line spends 10 pfennigs
for a programme and it is passed along
from hand to hand to be copied as it goes.
