RIGHT UP TO DATE.
(Benson's Plaster Is Pains Master,)

These are days of records and of the beat
ing of records. Benson's Porous Plaster, for
quickness of action and thoroughness of
cure, has no records to beat except its own.
Benson's Plaster, always the best, always
the leader, is to-day better than euer. It
sticks to the skin but never sticks in its
tracks. It marches on.
The people not only want to be cured
but cured Quickly-and Benson's Plaster
does it. Coughs, colds, lumbago, asthma,
bronchitis, liver and kidney complaints,
and other ills approachable by an external
remedy, yield to Benson's as ice does to heat.
Neither Belladonna, Strengthening or
Capsicum plasters are to be compared with
Benson's. People who have once tested
the merits of Benson's Plaster have no use
for any other external remedy.
More than 5000 physicians and drug
gists (and thousand times as many nom
professional persons) have called Benson's
Plasters one of the few o. home remedies
that can be trusted.
Fifty-fve highest awards have been made
to it in competition with the best known
plasters of Europe and America. Better
proof of its merits is uncomfortable. Be
sure to get the genuine.
For sale by all druggists, or we will pre-
pay postage on any number ordered in the
United States, on receipt of 25c. each.

MBs HULDAH A. BEACH.
Death has removed from our midst,
this past week, Mrs Huldah A. Beach,
whose loss will be keenly felt. After
an illness of three weeks, during
which time everything possible was
done to alleviate her sufferings, she
passed away. Mrs Beach was born in
the Titus homestead on Church hill,
January II, 1926, and was the second
of the six children of Stiles and Loret-
ia Titus. At the of age % years she
married Benajah p. Beach, who died
four years ago. There are left to
mourn the loss of this devoted mother,
two daughter, Mrs Henry D. Hine of
New Milford and Mrs William A.
Watts of this place. The funeral
services were held in the COngrega.
tional church on Sunday at o'clock,
preceded by prayers at the residence,
Rev R. E. Carter conducting the serv-
ices. The floral tributes were many
and beautiful Many friends from out
of town were present at the services.
The funeral was one of the largest
ever held in the town. The pail bear
ers were MessH Edwin HOLSTER,
Louis Mason and the two nephews of
the deceased, Albert A. Titus and
Arthur G. Titus.
On Thursday Of last week, the Ec-
clesiastical society met and discussed
plans for improving the church prop
erty and other matters. Nothing
definite was decided upon, but dis
cussion arose in which the people of
this town will be interested. 1t is
proposed to remove the hall on the
Green to new site and to build on
the ground vacated, stone library
building with historical room in con-
nection. The rooms occupied at pres
ent by the church for prayer meetings,
etc, are on the first floor of the hall
building. Plans are being considered
to build on to the east side Of the
church, rooms which will take the
place of the present ones. E. K. Ros-
sitter has drawn up plans for the addi-
tion to the church building. The
plans provide for a chapel, dining
room and kitchen. The chapel will
be on the main floor and the other
rooms will be in basement which
will be well lighted and spacious. 1t
would be of great inspiration to those
who are trying to carry out the plans,
If the people generally would become
interested and show enthusiasm in re-
gard to these possible changes. Such
changes would be of great benefit, not
only to the present generation but
for the future ages. No one can fail
| to discern the untold value to this
town Of these changes. L. T.

COURTS CAN'T INTERFERE
 IN AFFAIRS OF CHURCH

Age-Herald's Bureau, Clancey's Hotel, Montgomery, May 15.-(Special.)-In a de- cision today the Supreme Court of Ala bama held that a church is not a corpor- ation nor a quasi-corporation, and the members subjecting themselves to ecclesi- astical power, cannot invoke the super vision control of that Jurisdiction by any civil tribunal
 The case decided today was the famous case of Orrville M. Hundley vs. Ira P. Collins ct als-, appealed from the Madi- son Circuit Court. In this case the ap- pellant sought to be restored to member ship in the church after expulsion by the members thereof. The case was brought in the lower court by an application for writ of mandamus against the Christian church of Huntsville, body corporate, and Ira F. Collins, Robert A. Mcbride and Jesse B. Boyd. the governing officers thereof, to compel the respondents to re- store the petitioner to membership and office in said church. The petition states as facts that the church is a corporation; organized and existing under sections 1894 to 1899 of the code of 1886. In 1888 the petitioner and his wife gave to the church a lot of ground in Huntsville upon which there has been erected a house of wor- ship, and since used as such. The pe- titioner was one of the original members of the church. July Il, 1900, the peti- tioner, Orrville M. Hundley, his wife, Os- car R. Hundley and A. W. Mosely were dismissed from the church without trial or notice of any charges having been brought against them, and in their ab- sence. After this expulsion the petitioner

struction and operation of the said gas plant and pipe lines shall at all times be governed and controlled by specifica- tions and direction of the city engineer, as to grades crossing and also as to the surface. in so far as the streets may be affected.
 Before any work Is begun the company shall furnish the city of Birmingham with proper bond or surety to pay all such damages as may be sustained by the city or any private persons by reason of any wrongful action of the company.
 Probably one of the most interesting features of the franchise is the clause regarding the contract to be made with the city for furnishing public gas. This clause Is as follows:
 "Be it further ordained, That the Mayor Is hereby authorized, empow' cred and required to enter into con tract with the Consolidated Bl-Product Gas Company, corporation to be or uanIzed under special charter act oi the Legislature of Alabama, approved February 15, 1901, within ninety days after the passage of this ordinance which contract shall embrace in de tail the several provisions hereof, and said contract shall be of force during the term of thirty years from and after it's date"
 The annual license of the corporation during the term of thirty years shall not exceed $500 per year.
 Alderman Heidt introduced the ordin- ance by request, and 1t was referred to the committee on lights for discussion and report.

CAVALRY PLUNGES THROUGH DENSE CROWDS OF STRIKERS
 TRAMPLING THEM UNDER FOOT

An ordinance, granting franchise to the Consolidated Bi-Product Gas Com any and requiring the Mayor to enter in- to a contract for the use of the com anys gas for the term of thirty years, was introduced at a meeting of the Board of Aldermen last night
 This franchise is far-reaching in it's eff feet, and gives the right to construct, equip, own, operate and maintain gas plant in Birmingham to Caldwell Brad shaw, E. N. Cullom and c. R Brodix, their successors and assigns. It also au- thorizes the Mayor to enter Into con- tract with the Consolidated Bi-Product Gas Company, as transferee, when or ganized.
 The ordinance fixes the price to be charged the consumer as well as the city, and these prices are said to be consid- erably lower than past prices have been. The franchise requires that the illumi- mated gas be full sixteen candle power, and says the prices to be charged shall be as follows:
 For gas furnished the city: Illuminat- ing $1 per thousand cubic feet; fuel pur- poses 6o cents per thousand, with ten per cent off; for lighting streets, rate not named.
 For gas furnished private consumers: Illuminating $1 per thousand and for fuel 65 cents per thousand, without reduction The company Is allowed to make con- tracts with owners and proprietors of ho- tels, theatres shops, stores or public houses or public places of any kind at a less price than it may charge private or smaller consumers.
 The franchise provides that the con-
