Amerioan Aneestral Homes.

0s
 Now that the American millionaires have had time to look about them and have contracted the habit of visiting Europe. where they are received by royal ty, 1t is not surprising that they should homes. In the first impulse several of them have bought up the ancestral homes of impoverished English aristoerats and attempted to enjoy the emotions which are commonly ascribed to the man who inherits barOnial halls, oil portraits. tombs end Hast game preserves. It has been noted, however, that after a very brief experience, most of them have turn ed up again in the neighborhood of Wall Street, where their most exciting and hap piest days have been spent The fact is that life in the foreign ancestral home is too like a pioneer existence to please the American millionaire for long. To equip the place with electric lights or even with gas; to install a hard coal furnace and hot air pipes. and all such modern improvements as hot and cold water. dumb-waiters. electric bells, swift footed young servants, telephones, soft carpets and whatever makes living comfortable ed in his most active days--wouid be ridiculous. No. man can experience or pretend to experience the state of mind of a born aristocrat in his ancestral home without submitting to ancient conditions.
 The shrewder American millionaires propose to build their own ancestral homes in their own country within easy reach of the busy cities and where no traditions bind them to the fife of priys- ton which is the lot of the foreign aris- tocraey.

JURORS REPRlMANDED.
JUDGE WINTER DISCHARGED
 TWO MEN FROM SERVICE.
nsfused to Obey His Instructions tc Bring in Verdict in Case of
 Taylor Against
 Henderson.

For falling to agree yesterday after the Affirmative charge had been given by Fudge John c. Winter. presiding over the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, the jury trying the case of Frank Taylor against !. L. Henderson involving the possession of a farm, was discharged from further service during this term of court after receiving reprimand from tho court.
 The case of Taylor against Henderson Involves the possession of a tract of land rented from the defendant by the plain tin last year. The plaintiff last spring had not worked the land and it was taken possession of by the defendant.
 The litigation was to recover damages Incurred by the plaintiff by being deprived Df lands rented by him. The case was on krfal all of yesterday. In the afternoon, after pleadings had been ruled on, un- disputed written evidence introduced by ths plaintiff and oral testimony by the de- fendant had been taken, the court at the written request of the plaintiff gave the the evidence. they must find for the plain
 The only oral exf< <ence was that of the defendant. the balance of the testimony being undisputed evidence in writing, ad- nlitted by the court.
 The jury retired under these inRtruc- Hons. and after being out over two hours, were. under order of the court. brought into it's presence.
 Judge Winter asked why the jury could not agree on a verdict. No answer was made. The court then stated to tho jury that at the written request of the platrl- uG ne had given the affirmative charge. He reminded the jurors of the fact that
The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-12-17

the defendant was the only witness ex. amiled and that the effect of the charge was that if the jury believe the evidence of the defendant they must find for the plaintiff.
 The jury retired again but after a lapse of thre hours were unable to agree
 Again, the jurors were summoned into the court room When asked why the jury could not agree on verdict juror replied that there were ten, of the jury who desired to return verdict for the plaintiff in accordance with the charge of the court. but that two of the jurors would not agree to such verdict.
 Judge Winter said:
 entire jury when ten men wish to obey the instructions of the court, but unless it is voluntarily made known to the court who the jurors are that disobeycd its instructions. the court will be com- pelled to discharge the entire jury from
 No answer was made to these remarks and the court said further:
 Gentlemen. it is with deep regret that the court. for the objections of two men. entire jury but under the circumstances 1t has no alternative You are, therefore, Gentlemen. discharged not only from the consideration of this case but for the term. tor the Court cannot conduct it's business with jurors, who wIIlfully disre- gard it's instructions.
 Gentlemen. you are discharged from further attsndance-get your certificates from the clerk" es
 It was afterwards privately made known to Judge Winter the names of the two jurors who had caused the mistrial which was entered upon his docket and the court thereupon resclnded the order 10 discharge from further attendance the entire jury but confirmed the order of the dismissal of the two jurors, who refused to obey his instructions.

SAN JOSE SCALE HERE
PROFESSOR MAcKrNTosH TALKS
 or THE FEST.
State Horticulturist Has Been In- specting Trees in Montgomery County and suggests Meth
 ods Of Destroying Insects.

Professor R. s. Macintosh of Auburn, State Horticulturist, while in Montgomery yesterday declared that many of the orchards of Montgomery County are af- fected with the San Jose scale. T have seen orchards in many sections of the county" said Professor Mackin- tosh. and found a great many of them had been attacked by the scale. Peach trees. apple trees, plum trees, and fn many instances osage orange trees have been affectAd."
 .sThe San Jose scale" Professor Mack intosh continued. must be considered as a serious pest unless 1t Is looked after by our fruit growers. If the trees are treated at this time with what Is known as California wash. the scale may be con- trolied. The California wash is made of lime. sulphur and salt"
 How is the presence of the scale mani fested2' Professor Maeldntosh was ask- cd.
 s'when the tree has been seriously att tackled" he replied .The branches look as though they were covered with ashes, of greyish, white tint If the finger nall is run along the surface the scaly material may be easily rubbed off.
 Tt Is estimated that ohe female insect and her progeny win produce about four billion scales in one year. The insect is about the size of q pin head.
 'sThe California wash should be applied in a very nne spray all over the tree and 1t must be done thoroughly. nave sag- gested to some of the people that if they will get the apparatus ready will come down and help them get started
 T am directing my attention to keep ing infected trees out of the State and our orchardists should help me by stamp ing out the San Jose scale wherever it appears. It can be done by spraying as have suggested. About 76,ooo or 100000 fruit trees are to be planted in Montsona- cry County next year and great care should be taken to protect these trees from the San Jose scale.
 Another suggestion I have made to tree growers is to caution them about buying pecan trees. Fraudulent nurseries are taking orders for budded or grafted pecan trees and by mistalxe' are filling the orders with common seeding oceans. Every one buying oceans of improved varieties should be careful of what they get from the nurseries"
 Professor Mackintosh went to Auburn yesterday evening.

FOR SECOND TERM.
Mayor Walker of Florence Inducted
 . .. Into Office. =

< tss s- ,1nG0 UIucs. - 1- ~. Florence, Dec, 1s.--(Special.) )-rAt spe- cial session Of the City Council held last night, Mayor A. F. Walker was sworn in for his second term as was also the new board of aldermen, which with one ex- ception is the same as the old.
 The niayor laid before the Council the reports of the heads of the various de- partmen of the city government for the past year. The expenditures last year were but $27,S70.47, leaving an excess of expenditures over receipts of A.17S. This state of affairs is due to the fact that the revenue from the liquor license was abol- ished with the introduction of prohibition last January, while the expenditures in connection with the City schools were inc creased. During the coming year the streets will be lighted with electricity at a cost doubling that of the present sys- tenn and new equipment will have to be bought for the fire department. Mayor Walker calculates that under existing conditions the total expenditures next year will exceed the receipts about s. O00.O0.
 The most interesting part of the may or's report was that relating to the city's finances. He recommended a reduction of 20 per cent in the salaries of all off, cers and employees of the city. He fur her recommended a Feadtustment of the license tax schedule 80 as to bring about an increase in revenue from that source of not less than % per cent. The first recommendation was acted on by the council and the salarly list reduced 15 per cent. The office of street overseer was abolished for the present. It is prob- able that the second recommendation will not go through without serious opposi- ton as the license tax was increased Sd per cent two years ago and is now heavy, while the regular tax rate is exceedingly low and the assessed values still lower.
 Major A. c. Negley was elected city engineer and Judge of Probate J. J, ANtchell was elected a member of inc board oR education to succeed Hon. John T.. Ashcraft whose term has expired.

 High Street.

The Streets Committee of the City Coun- ell met yesterday morning in the Coun- cil Chamber at II o'clock to consider the Kohn resolution in reference to the claim of the city against the Montgomery Trac- ton Company for improvements on High Street.
 The Streets Committee is composed of Alderman Roemer. chairman. and Alder men Teague and Mcintyre. Major E. E.. Winters, Superintendent of the Traction Company, and Mayor Thomas H Carr met, with the committee. -
 The resolution by Alderman Kohn re- cited the fact that the track of the Frac- tion Company was located on High Street upon the condition that the property be- tween Jackson and Ripley Streets should be dedicated as a street and the differ ence between the cost of the same and 5000 should be spent in improving High Street. The resolution ins.ructed the Streets Committee and the Mayor to see that the conditions of the High Street franchise should be carried out. It Is claimed that the Fraction Company has not yet compiled with the conditions.

 Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from 12i7 West Twenty-third Street, Minneapolis. Minn.. as follows:
 T suffered for years with a pain in the small of my back and right side It interfered often with my domestic and social duties and I never supposed that would be cured, as the doctors medi- cine did not seem to help me any. !.

1rost of tho Ailments Peculiar to the

 of Pelvic Organs.
 Mrs. Harriet R. Edwards. 1ols Brady @t. Davenport Ia. writes concerning peruna:
 ssEvery physician knows that while the proper remedy will restore health the wrong medicine will act as q poison. Any physician knows that if hs does not administer the proper medicine for certain case 1t acts as q poison to the system and it is therefore very important that one should hsve the right medicine.
 ssT have found that Peruna as wonderful medicine to use in diseases peculiar to women. It quickly and permanently restores health and vigor and acts as a tonic to . worn out system. I have so far never ob- merved e case which was not greatly alded by it's use. .nRev. Harriet Edwards.
 Reruna has cured thousands of cases of female weakness. As rule, however, bafore Peruna is resorted to. several otii- CT remedies have been tried in vain. A great many of the patients have taken A8lAk tECAkf4A14AAs DM@AAAa~N0*A AAsGaA%1Cfs ~ surgical operations and taken ali sorts or doctors stun. without any result.

 Catarrh of one organ is exactly the sasne as catarrh of, any other organ. What will cure catarrh of the head will also cure catarrh of the pelvic organs, Pbruna cures these cases simply because tt cures the catarrh.
 Most of the women afflicted with pelvic diseases have no idea that their trouble is due to catarrh. The majority of the people think that catarrh is a disease confined to the head alone.
