 That automobiles are coming society fad seems to be foreshadowed by the am- bilious attempts of New York millionaires to operate them. That they require skill and some exertion that they are novel and expensive. bring them within the category of rich mems playthings. It is unfortunate for the makers. however, that they have not a supply ready to meet the demand now that the automobile is acceptable not only good thing, but as the correct thing
 To a great extent the new vehicle will displace the bicycle, which among those whose diversions are not limited has fallen into disuse, if not disapproval. But while 1t may occupy attention for time it can- rot permanently dispace the horse for the reason that it lacks the horses spirit and does not call for the courage and nerve that are required to manage a fractious animal.

 Mr. Lane, for the petitioner, put the wit ness through a strong eross-examination, but she answered his questions promptly, except some which she refused to answer. She said that May neglected and deserted her and she stood it as long as she could. She explained a Jacksonville t.ip which was brought out in MT.

In her direct examination she stated that no- torious prostitute had come to her house in search of May. calling him her husband, and that when she spoke 10 him about 1t he acknowledged it and said he would re- form.

AND WEATHER CONTINUES.
It Was as Hot as Blue Blazes Again
 Yesterday.

The weat ther continued yesterday, thank you. It was round and filling as the phrase goes. It was a repetition of the previous Saturday, and If the editor had not for bidden strong language in these columns the reporter would write that 1t was the eamnablest day but one of the entire sea- son; but the reporter, having not the dar- ing to run counter to instructions, can note only that the day was vile beyond all be- lief. The temperature registered at it's highest 92 degrees and at lowest 75 ac- cording to tine official record.
 At 10 a. m., a shower came down, the drops of rain being fully as large as the eggs of pigeons. But it was like an old woman's dance-it was soon over. The heat, the oppressiveness of it all held on. There was abatement Every living thing of animal life sweltered. Yet a stiff breeze blew throughout the day. That southerly breeze saves us here in the great est valley In the world. Without it there is no telling what might happen.
 Ninety-two in the shade is a compara- lively low maximum; but S6 at ' p. m. is insupportable.
 The story of the weeks weather is ter rible. not in high reSisterings, but in the humidity and in the sustained heat. Sev- enty-six at o'clock in the morning is just a trife too much for human nature to en- dure with patience. Bvery mortal in Jones valley is washed out"

AT 4 O'CLOCK
Last Tribute Will be Paid to AmZi
 Golden

At 4 o'clock this afternoon at the First Presbyterian church that church will pay its last public tribute to Amzi Golden, now resting the last rest.
 The Rev pr. Curry is hurrying home 10 take the lead in the solemn funeral ser vices and 1t Is expected that he will he joined by all the other Presbyterian minis- ters in the city. It is certain that Dr. Handley will be there, and beautiful words will be spoken of the dead-no word, how ever beautiful, can be stronger than Amzl Golden deserved by his long and upright life.
 When the war between the states was precipitated Amzi Golden was living in Marion. He was a New Englander. He went to John Howze. then and now fner- chant of Marion, and asked for advice. MT. Howze, the father of Judge A. c. Howze, now of Birmingham, advised She young man to enlist He did so, and be- came one of that immortal band known to history as Wheeler's cavalry. Today Gen. eral Wheeler is speeding across the Pa cific to serve the United States in the far east. Amz Golden will tonight be borne to his last place of sleep at Marion. Wheel CT goes to win new honors. Golden has fallen asleep, 'using his burdens for a pillow"
 And so passed a brave, strong man. "There has not lived-there does not live a braver, gentler man." The good deeds of this man live after him. Not all of the churches of Birmingham could contain all those men, women and children to whom he has been kind.

 The American summers are much hot ter than European summers. People coming to this country from Europe in the summer find it almost impossible to stand the exigencies of our climate. We not only have hot weather but it is sultry. Only people in the very best of health find themselves able to do much work during the heat of the summer. With clean, active skin and healthy mucous membranes, a person may defy the weather, hot or cold. Frequent bathing keeps the skin as it should be. Pe-ru-na produces healthy mucous mem- branes.
