 ACCIDENTAL WOUND

Mss Duncan has been In the habit of going to her house to aid in any way pos sible to make her comfortable.
 It seems the pistol was lying under the pillow and the hammer caught In the bed clothing and exploded the cartridge.
 At the time of the shooting Mrs. Broyles was out of the room. She heard the shot and ran to the apartments where she found Miss Duncan lying on the floor with blood gushing from the wound. Miss Duncan said. 'I have accidentally shot myself with those bed clothes"
 Drs. Lull and J. D. s. Deo's were sum- moned and made an examination. They state the wound Is not necessarily fatal, although a hemorrhage might cause death. At the hospital 1t was found the bullet had passed through the left lung and had ruptured several blood vessels.
 The physicians at the hospital stated last night that Miss Duncan was resting as well as could be expected, and that she has about equal chances of recovery.

 A lady writes, and after giving descrip- ton of her husbands relief from coffee dyspepsia and general nervous trouble. says: "I was almost as bad as he. having the headache nearly every day and was nervous and weak. did not Sleep well, was pale and thin and had bad com plexion.
 When I found how much good Pos tum Coffee was doing Husband, I con- cluded to use 1t and tell you life is al- together a different thing. l eat and sleep well and look like a different woman My usual weight for years was from 9S to 100 pounds, I now weigh 10s pounds and everyone tells me how much better I am looking.
 I had some friends who did not like Postum, but knowing 1t was because they did not boil itlongenough I made some at their house one day, and they agree with me that Postum is a delicious bev- craze. and while. of course. the flavor and taste Is pleasing and we are glad Postum does suit us In that way, the great advantage Is the wonderful. bound ing health that we have recovered" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

The idea may prevail that "Old Hickory" is costly. It is not. In fact it is inexpensive, and, when you consider the style and com. fort and durability-it never wears out-it is as cheap as you can buy.

WANT TO BE PUT ON
 SALARY BASIS
JUSTICES OF PEACE AND CON. STABLES HOLD MEETING TO DlS- CUsS PROPOSED CHANGE IN LAWS-THEY ORGANIZE.

Forty of the justices of the peace in the county met In the City Court room yes- terday morning and formed an associa- tion. They decided to take in the con stables, and the name of the organiza- ton will be The Association of Justices of the Peace and Constables of Jefferson County.
 The meeting was enthusiastic and the question of having the law changed so as to put justices of the peace and con- stables on salaries Instead of continuing the fee system as 1t now exists was gen. orally discussed, the consensus of opin- ion favoring the change. The Legisla- ture will be asked to pass such a meas ure and a bill to that effect will be pre- pared and presented at Its next session. | It was the purpose of those present to make the organization a state one. The meeting was presided over by Jus tice of the Peace H. B. Abernathy, who was later elected president. Lee W. Jones was made secretary and treasurer.
 The following committee to formulate constitution and bylaws and prepare the bill to be introduced in the Legisla- ture fixing the amount of the salaries was appointed: MT. C. H. Manly of Ems ley, chairman; MT. William Gray of Pratt City, MT. Charles J. Martin of Birmng- ham, Mir William Russell of Greens and MT. B. R. Weaver of West End.
 This committee will meet in the office of Justice of the Peace Charles J. Martin on Wednesday next and will report to full meeting of the association, which is called to meet at the same place on the Wednesday following.
 Judge Samuel E. Greene of the Crimi- nal Court and Judge A. A. Coleman of the Circuit Court were expected to ad- dress the meeting yesterday. but they were both detained by the trial of cases.

BUSINESS MEN
 ISSUE AN ADDRESS
ATTACK ON RAILROAD coMMlS- SION IS RESULT OF CONFER
 ENCE AT MoRRlS-CLAiM CON- MISSION IS AN UTTER FAILURE.

At a business mems meeting held Fri day and yesterday at the Morris Hotel, tho object Of which is to fight the rail- road commission and take hand in the next general elections, committee was named to appoint a campaign committee. An open letter was written to the peo- pie of Alabama setting forth the faults of the present commission and asking redress at the polls in the next election. The resolutions are as follows:
 ''To the Citizens of Alabama:
 "The following petition was almost unanimously signed and from nearly ev- cry section of the state was presented to the late constitutional conventions:
 We respectfully represent that where as the railroad commission appointed by the governor and paid by the railroads has proven an entire failure, and where IS the shipper and consumer should have Iome representation in the naming of rates and making of rules by what Is otherwise an allen and arbitrary power that whereas, the express. telephone, tel graph and railroad franchises are given by the State, the power of these fran ,hises should be limited by the State. We therefore request that your honorable body will give the State a commission
 
 all franchises which have power to tax within their review
 ITO carry out the intent of this petition m ordinance was presented in the con- vention, which copied both the Georgia organic and the Georgia statute laws governing the relation of the common carriers and the people
 This was done because it had been in operation there twenty years and had proven greatly beneficial to the stat e The convention adopted into the organic law of tho state the Georgia constitution law; many of the friends of the origina petition, thinking 1t best to leave as Georgia did, the enactment of enabling laws, to the Legislature.
 To carry out, then, this evident intent If our new constitution, a meeting was called at Birmingham May 12 under the auspices of the Troy Board of Trade This meeting was largely attended by representative men from various sections of the state, who, after organizing, adopt sd the following resolution:
 Resolved, That 1t Is the purpose of this meeting of delegates from cities and towns of Alabama, now in convention as- sembled. to use all fair means to secure the election at the coming Democratic primaries of candidates for the Legisla- lure who are favorable to the enactment of law securing a railroad commission elected by the people and paid by the state, and the enactment by the Leg1sla- ture of such laws as will give 1t power 10 regulate and adjust the charges levied by eomron carriers and thus secure to the people of the state fair treatment at the hands of these carriers.
 Second, That committee of seventeen be appointed to carry out the provisions Of the foregoing resolution, with power to appoint a campaign committee and take such other steps as may be neces- ssry to accomplish the object of this meeting.
