MORPHINE.
Can Morphine and Other
Drug Habits Be Cured?

1t has been long contended by
physicians that there is no cure for
the drug habit. This is true so
far as the rank and file of the med
ical profession is concerned. The
reason, therefore, is that they are
ignorant of the full scope and ma
ture ofthe disease; but fortunately
tor the cause of suffering human
ity we have demonstrated that
the morphine or other drug habits
can be cured and guarantee an alb
solute, permanent and painless
cure to those addicted to the use OF
drugs if they will take our treat
ment and follow our instructions.

Opening of Session 10000.

At the eleventh hour Col F. N.
K. Baily decided to have the usual
public exercises on the opening day
Of the school. In consequence of
this arrangement large number
of patrons and friends of the
school, together with all of the day
and boarding students, assembled
IN the opera house on Thursday
morning last, where they were en-
tertained by the exercises of the
occasion. Very appropriate ad-
dresss were made by DR.. l.. R.
Gwaltney and Rev. c. E. Burts
Col. Bailey made several necessary
announcements and outlined his
plans IN part for the session. Of
course the school caunot aud will
not be as large as during former
years until the new building is
ready. However, even more
thorough work will be done be-
cause he has competent corps of
teachers and there not being 80
many, more attention can be given
to the individual student. The
Gwaltney home is already filled
with boys, twenty eight in number,
and the Wardlaw building is occu-
pied by Col. Bailey and family,
the lady teachers and twelve or
fifteen girls. Instead of a dining
room at each building, as was the
case last year, there will be but
one where all of the students will
dine. This will be at the girls
dorn:itory. Col. BaiIy has had no
trouble in getting all of the stu
dents that he could provide room
for. Many others will be enrolled
as soon as the new building can be
occupied.

OPPOSED TO TAX RAISE
BUSINESS MEN BEFORE BOARD
 OF REVENUE.
County License Tax Argued and Submitted by Committee from Commercial Association and
 the Tax Commissioner.

At the regular weekly meeting of the Board of Revenue of Montgomery County yesterday, a delegation of prominent bus mess and professional men, representing the Committee on Public Policy of the Commercial and Industrial Association appeared before the Board to urge the revocation of the order passed in Artil last. assessing the business men of Mont gomery a county license, in addition to the city license already paid. It will bo remembered that last week Judge A. D. Sayre, presiding over the City Court of Montgomery, rendered an opinion which exempted the whiskey men, doing business within the corporate limits of the city of Montgomery, from the pay ment of the county license.
 The decision of Judge Sayre was based on the fact that as far back as 1887 this class of business men had been exempted. Since that time laws, unconstitutionaily enacted, have been passed, exempting all other businesses in Montgomery from county licenses. but he held that these unconstitutional enactments did not make void the constitutional enactment of the charter of the city of Montgomery of 1887.
 Under ruling of State Auditor T. l.. Sowell upon a request by Judge J. B. Gaston of the Probate Court of Mont gomery County, the section of the Char  sons who have paid city license from the county license tax, was declared void by the adoption of the last revenue code by the last Legislature.
 Under this code the Board of Revenue or the Court of County Commissioners, at it's discretion, may impose a county license tax up to 50 per cent of the amount paid by the business men for State license.
 nIa ak kh~ of Revenue, for the first time in the his- tory of Montgomery County. exercised this authority and ordered license tax of 55 per cent of the State license to be collected.
 It was against this action that the com mittee composed of Hon. F. B. Joseph, W. M. Teague, John P. Kohn. Hon. B. H. Screws, J. L. Holloway, and Secre- tary L. L. Gilbert, appeared before the Board
 Ex-Mayor E. B. Joseph and Alderman w. M Teague both urged that the heavy burden of taxation now borne by the bus mess men be not increased They were opposed by Tax Commissioner W. M. Blakey. who advocated the Boards stand ing by its former action. J. L. Holloway closed for the committee.
 After brief consultation with members of the Board. President M. B. Houghton announced that the board would make no change in the license for the year 19O3, and woulH appeal the Jesse O'Neal case, by which the whiskey men were exempt cd He indicated that after January 1, 1904. a lower schedule of taxation would be granted.
 Action on the bids for the fine and for feiture fund was again deferred until the next meeting.
 County bills for the week were passed and the Board adjourned until next Mon day.
