PHARMACEUTICAL BILL
MEASURE PROPOSED BY THE
 STATE ASSOCIATION.
Will be Introduced in Legislature Today and Will Make Many Changes Including Creation
 of State Laboratory.

A bill making important changes in the pharmaceutical laws of Alabama will be introduced in the House today.
 The bill has the endorsement of the State Pharmaceutical Association and its passage will be urged by Secretary w. E. Bingham and other prominent members of the Association.
 The measure seeks to raise the standard of prescription clerks in Alabama. It was prepared by the Legislative Com mittee of the State Pharmaceutical Asso- citation. Its provisions were discussed at the meeting of the Association held last spring in Montgomery.
 Perhaps the most important provision of the bill is the establishment of State laboratory at the Capitol. In this lab oratory 1t is proposed to examine all ap- plicants for pharmaceutical licenses. The laboratory as proposed will contain all necessary appliances and materials.
 The bill also proposes to increase tho number of the members of the State Board of Pharmacists from three to five.
 It Is the intent of the bill to raise the examination fee of applicants from $ to $10.
 An important provision of the bill is the additional restrictions thrown around the sale of cocaine. Druggists are now pro- hibited from selling cocaine except upon the prescription of a physician. The new bill provides that the physician must show, if called upon, good reasons for his cocaine prescription.
 Secretary Bingham. who is a we'll known druggist of Tuscaloosa, is in the city to see the bill through its preliminary stages.

 ..rhe industrial departments all open with prayer. for msn who trust God as . Provider and Doctor and Health feel the need of prayer.
 ''The Feast was a ten days meeting. with the early service at s:3o a. m. / at tended by about 6.00o. Going like country folk to circus from every direction. the multitudes crowded to that early morning sacrifice of praise and prayer. The most beautiful sight as the band played in the encampment, and the sun rose bright over the lake flooding the city in golden glory was to see thous- ands of people hurrying where they knew they would find peace and healing and Gods power manifested. which Is the same yesterday, today and forever; the same Healer as well as Savior.
 Tt Is great ocasion when one is in- vited to eat dinner with Dr. Dowie. for he is a most tactful. entertaining host.
 He has a home like the best of our res- idences on Perry street, and a dining room in which he can entertain about 30 at table. Our Southern delegation was invited, and the place of honor given to the fairest daughters of the South. Course after course of simple healthy foods were served by well trained young Christian ladies, and the pleasing pres ence os Mrs. Dowie with the genial twinkle of Dr. Dowies eye as he told anecdotes, or manifested his personal in- terest in his guests made the hour pass so quickly we were sorry to hear that the carriages were ready for the after noon service. Then lifting his hands in prayer (before as we'll as after dinner) we were blessed.

VISIT OF DEATH ANGEL.
Little Mathilde Taber Murray Quiet-
 ly Passed Away.
Opelika News.

Opeiika News.
 The home of MT. and Mrs. W. T. Mur- ray was visited by the grim messenger of death on Saturday, August p. at 3 a. m., and carried to her heavenly home the sweet spirit of their infant daughter. Mathilde Taber Murray.
 This dear little one. the idol of fond parents and loving relatives, had been sick for several months, but was only considered dangerously i'll from Friday morning, when the mysterious hand of Providence touched her little life in all its innocent purity, beauty and promise, and the dear one gently fell asleep In the arms of Jesus.
 MT. Murray was absent from home on business in New York city, and was sum- moned by telegram. and reached his sad- dened home a few hours after the death of his precious little daughter.
 Little Mathilde was 2 months old, and her death cast a gloom over the happy home of her parents and leaves them in- consolable in grief. God, who ever does the best, folded the hands of this littls one and closed her mission on earth.
 Now she has crossed over and waits to welcome those that love her into the home above, where there is no sickness or sor- row, and where sin and death never come.
 Dr. T. J. Beard, rector of the Episco- pal Church, conducted the funeral ser- vices from the residence on Sunday at D. m., and the interment followed at the city cemetery.

REPORT ON CHEROKEE
COUNTY OFFICIALS HAVE MADE
 GOOD RECORD.
Examiner Sedberry Submits Com parative Statement of Tax Valuations to Governor Jelks.
 Officers Are Commended.

A report upon the officials of Chero- kee county was filed yesterday with the Governor by Assistant Examiner of Public Accounts George F. Sedberry. Upon the books of all the officials ex- cept the tax collector. the endorsement nothing due'' was placed.
 Tax Collector w. F. Blackburn, MT. Sedberry found had made several errors in his collections of Cherokees taxes. The total of these errors amounted to $47.35. As soon as MT. Blackburn's at that he would remit the amount to the State treasury.
 Circuit Clerk I. L. Brock, was found to have made errors in his feed bills amounting to $15. These errors. the ex- aminer reported. were corrected in a forthcoming report from MT. Brock which would reach the Capitol in a few days.
 Probate Judge c. c. Appleton. Sheriff J. NJ. Webb. and Tax Assessor James D. Wilder. were reported to have kept their books neatly and accurately. For them the examiner had only words of praise.
 MT. Sedberry's examination of the books covered the years 1901 and 1902 An interesting feature of Mir. Sedber- rvs report was a comparative statement of the assessed tax valuations of Chero- kee county.
 Governor Jelks has instructed the ex- aminers of public accounts in investi- gating the books of the county officials in each county to make a comparative statement of tax valuations for the past five years. This will be done in all coun- ties of the State.

Telephone on I. 0. Road.

Within the past few days there has been inaugurated on the Illinois Central Railroad a complete system of tele- phones. giving uninterrupted connection between headquarters and every station on the system, and between the systems themselves. Although the I. c. is the first line to adopt this plan, there is no question of the success of the innovation. and there is every reason to believe that other systems will soon follow this ex- ample, installing the telephones for the purpose to which the I. c. is to put them.
 Briefly, these telephones are to take the place of the telegraph in an emer. gency, and are always available as a supplementary feature to the wire at any time they may be needed Under some conditions 1t will be seen where the teie- phones would be invaluable The main reason for their installation is the prob ability of any disagreement that might take the train dispatchers out on a strike. Past experiences of this kind have shown where railroad is practically at the mercy of the operators. be they right or wrong. If they elect to walk out. They are the potential medium for the opera tion of the trains. and without them schedules count for naught.
 Should there ever arise occasion when the operators would leave their keys. the road would of curse be put to the necessity of securing the best men they could for the vacancies. With this teIe- phone system the road is absolutely in- dependent. It takes an experienced op- orator for train dispatching, but any em- pIoye can forward instructions by tele- phone Every precaution would be taken to have the messages, devoid of errors by repetitions and counter repetitions, and 1t Is believed the systfm will work in a manner fully as satisfactory as the one now in vogue. The work of installation has been but recently completed on the I. c. and 1t is expected that the instru- ments will be given a practical test at some very near time.

 Life looks dark indeed when a woman feels that her strength is sap ping away and she has no hopes of ever being restored.

eRAvITATIoN VERIFIED.

AT 4 recent meeting OF the American Phiiosopnl-
cal Society in Philadelphia Professor Ernest W
Brown. Of Haverford. Penn said
Two bodies attract one another Inversely az TIA
square Of the distance; that Is II the distance %
halved the force is increased four times; II ths
distance is divided by ten the force Is Increased
one hundred times. This is the Newtonian law OF
erayftation The moon, earth. sun and planets al
should obey this law which was discovered OE
Isaac Newton in the seventeenth century How
far do the bodies obey il? The most sensitive -
the moon We are able 70 observe its motions 50
accurately and predict its places with such unfaii-
ing certainty BY means of this law that We can
scarcely have much doubt that 1t is correct- But.
nevertheless there are small deviatiOns. and
the question whether these deviatons are due 70
errors in the calculations or astronomers OF 10
something wrong IN the law Itself
FIansenTs theory OF the moon > motion has been
accepted UP 70 the present. but there are SUI
some small differences between his theory and OD-
servation. Two. at least OF these have been unex-
pafned in the periods OF revolution Of the perlges
and node. My calculations have shown that tho
differences are due 20 errors in Hansen's theory
and that a correct theory they do not exist
Thus II appears that NewtOn's law Is accurate to
e-milonth per cent, 1t Is by far the most aceu-
rate physical law known, and perhaps the most
striking evidence Of the fact that our existence and
Surroundings not the result Of eha1ce.
