JACOBS GETS DECISION.
Sues Atlanta Druggists for Combining
 Against Him.

In deciding in favor of pr. Joseph Ja- cobs of Atlanta in his suit against mem bers of the Atlanta Druggists Associa- ton. the Supreme Court of Georgia made a decision which is far-reaching in It's effect and which will stop all further attempts of druggists or tradesmen of any other class from combining for the purpose of forcing wholesale dealers not to supply any other merchant with their products.
 The decision was handed down by Judge Lumpkin, and held that such combina- tions were in violation of the common laws of the state, and prosecution could be made under such statutes. In his peti- ticn Dr. Jacobs claimed that the other druggists in Atlanta had combined for the pu -pose of crushing his business. and that such combination tended to lessen competition. He also sued for $50,oOO dam ages, which suit was demurred.
 Dr. Jacobs has two stores in Atlanta and one in Birmingham. He does what is termed a cut-rate business.

SCHLEY REJOICES

HOTTEST THIRD OF AYIN
 LOCAL WEATHER RECORDS

Summer arrived yesterday. It did not slide in. It came with a vengeance and ran over everything in sight. It was day for the weather prophets to remem- Der. When they said 1t was the hottest third of May they ever saw they told the truth
 The full complement of heat landed about o'clock. It came just before Will liam Jennigs Bryan's train pulled In and while Admiral Schley's special car was on the sidetrack It was a re- cord breaker in honor of the two dis tinguished guests.
 When the weather man had nerve enough to climb to the roof where the instruments for recording the exact de- gree of torture are kept he found 93 as the highest He stopped, removed his hat and mopped his brow. He did not know now hot he was until he looked at the thermometer. It was sad awaken ing.

ASKS MERCY FOR
 JOHN HUGELEY
JURY DOES NOT WISH BOY TO GO TO PENITENTIARY AND ASKS THE GOVERNOR TO PAROLE HIM.

. John Hueeley the 14-year-old white boy -u,ba was convicted in the Criminal Court Friday of manslaughter in the first de- gree, it being charged that he killed his playmate, George Carter, will probably be paroled provided he can serve his sentence at the Boys Industrial Farm ,at East Lake. The jury which convicted Hugeley fixed his punishment at three years imprisonment They did not want to send him to the penitentiary and came and asked Judge Samuel E.. Greene who presided at the trial whether they could send him to Spiegler's farm instead Of to the mines where many convicts are sent. Judge Greene told them that they could not direct where the boy should be sent to serve out his sentence, but that they might make a recommendation. They did this and asked that he be sent to the farm instead of the mines.
 Yesterday a petition to the Governor was being signed by the members of the jury asking that Hugeley be paroled pro- vided he can serve his time at the Boys
 Industrial Farm. It is not known yet whether this arrangement can be made as the home at East Lake is rather crowded, but arrangements to this end will be made possible. Judge Greene will sign the petition to the Governor, and probably Solicitor Hef1in will sign it.
 Hugeley killed Carter by striking him on the head with a heavy stick which produced concussion of the brain, from (which he died in a few hours after be- ing struck. The trouble began in a quarrel between younger brothers of the boys and the elders became involved in it

MCART,N WILL
 CLEAN UP ALLEYS
Notifies Merchants They Had Better Remove Everything of
 Value.

Street Commissioner McCartin an- nounces to the merchants that If they have anything of value in the alleys they must remove 1t, as he is going to clean them thoroughly. Everything will be carted off and a walk through the alleys will no longer resemble a stroll through a curiosity shop with various kinds of tin cans and broken egg shells as curiosities.
 The streets already show signs of im- provement since MT. McCartin has been at work. They have been better sprinkled and the dust has not been as rampant as formerly. The sand which was placed on Twenty-first street at the time 1t was paved was removed yesterday and this street now presents a much better ap- pearance.
 In few days everything in the new system of garbage removal will be work ing smoothly and the city, it is stated, will be kept clean.

AN HONEST FRIEND. Cleared Away the Family Troubles

There is not one thing on earth that could enter a family and do as much honest good and bring as much happiness as in certain cases where coffee drinking is left off and Postum Food Coffee used in its place.
 A family In Iowa Park. Texas. furnishes A good illustration. The mother says, 'I want to tell you what happened Tn our family when we left off coffee ana LOOK up Postum. About eight months ago we made the change I had been. for quite while troubled with rheumatism in my right hip and shoulder, swimming or the head and fiuttering of the heart so thought I had heart trouble
 Sometimes In walking my head would swim so that I would be obliged to sit down. I had other disagreeable 1eehngs I cannot describe but they will be readily understood by coffee drinkers IT they will confess it. ,,,
 My family were also more or less III and were all coffee drinkers. well we gave up the coffee and started Tn on Postum Food Coffee; husband, myseir and four children. Even the two year old bady (she had been puny since hav- ing the grip) had her coffee along With the rest of the family. When we made the change to Postum she began to fatten and now Is perfectly healthy and fat as a pig.
 My boys, ten and twelve years or age, are so stout and muscular that people re- mark about them and ask what makes them so. I do not have any more trouble with rheumatism or with my heao, neither does my husband, who was trou- bled much in the same way. We are all in better health every way than we nave been before in years and we are always glad of an opportunity to recomm end Postum. I hope what have said will lead others to make the change" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

BEEF REMAINS SAME.
Predicted Rise in Salt Pork Has Not
 Materiaiized.

There was no change in the meat mar ket yesterday. Dressed beef, which had been selling here by the carcass for 10 cents declined to cents Friday, and it sold for cents yesterday.
 The predicted higher prices for salt pork between the 1st and 5th of May are not materializing very fast. The car load prices are about the same now that they were early in the week. But these prices are abnormally high and a big decline will be hoped for, although pack CTS say quotations will be much higher on the 1st of June than they are now.
 Beef, on the other hand, will be much lower, it is said, by the 10th of June when Texas cattle come on the market.

Admiral and His Wife Spend
 Several Hours in Birmingham
CROWD TURNED OUT FOR HIM
The Admiral Makes Short Speech, Sayino Woman Behind the Man Is Like Man Behind
 the Gun.
"I rejoice more In the love of my people than any other earthly honor" Winfield Scott Schley.

admiral Winfield Scott Schley stopped over four hours in Birmingham yester- day on his way to Chattanooga. He reached the city at 12:S0 o'clock, coming from Meridian over the Alabama Great Southern and left at 4.SO o'clock for Chat tanooga. The admiral was accompanied by Mrs. Schley and Miss Albert.
 Quite a number of prominent citizens were waiting at the station to meet the admiral. Owing to the short time the party was to remain in Birmingham no attempt was made to give the admiral Q public reception but during his stay many prominent citizens called on him.
 As the train drew Into the station the admiraFs car was found to be the last Many citizens crowded on the platform and Admiral Schley came out and shook hands with them The train was then pulled out in order to switch the admiraPs car on to the side track. Just as tie train started off Mir William M. Lindsay arrived with a large bouquet for the ad- miral Although MT. Lindsay is lame fre ran after the train, caught 1t and climb ed aboard with his bouquet.
 Crowded Into the Car.
 The car was then placed on the side track by the station and was quickly surrounded by a large crowd anxious to see and shake hands with the admiral They crowded into the car and at last the pressure became so great that the admiral had to reappear on the platform where he was greeted with a rousing cheer. He was called on for a speech. Several en- zines were pulling up and down, hauling freight trains and making a great racket.
 My friends"' said the admiral, q can't speak against these locomotives
 You've got to do it. though, admiral, '' shouted one admirer. The admiral real ized this and spoke as follows:
 'I wish to thank you all from my heart for this kind reception and tribute of your good will. I appreciate 1t fully, I assure you. I rejoice more in the love of my people than any other earthly honor. (Cheers.)

Calls for Mrs. Schley.

The admiral spoke but a few words realizing that he could not be heard on account of the noise, although the people crowded close to the car as possible Several came the platform and shook hands with him. Calls were then made for Mrs Schley, who had remained in the car. She came to the platform and was received with hearty and pro- longed cheer.
 My friends, said the admiral the woman behind the man is like the man behind the gun They shape all the pur- pose of our life. We would not be worth a salt herring without them.'
 Mrs. Schley then retired inside the car and the admiral shook hands with sev- eral ladies in the crowd He stood on the steps of the platform and leaned forward holding to the railing with his right hand. He shook hands with his left, for which he apologized, saying it was the nearest to his heart After he had spoken to the ladies he also retired and the crowd dis spersed.
 Many called on him during his stay, and each had nothing but words of the sin cerest love and admiration Admiral Schley occupies a place in the hearts of the American people which no other liv- his remark, q rejoice more in the love of my people than any other earthly honor," shows that he appreciates it.
