Jacob Hoffman. a 4-year old boy, who lives with his parents between Four teenth and Fifteenth street. was run over and instantly killed by street car on the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power companys line at Fifteenth street and Third avenue yesterday afternoon about o'clock.
 The boy was badly mangled under the wheels of the car. and when the first persons reached the body, life was all ready extinct. The remains were carried to the undertaking establishment of Lige Loy. where they were prepared for in- torment. The funeral arrangements have not been made.
 The car which ran over the child was a special running from the car barns to Second avenue and Nineteenth street carrying headlights to be put on the cars at that corner as they came in from their various runs.
 Motorman Lylxes and Conductor Love were in charge of the car. They state that they were coming along Third avenue at a moderate rate of speed when the child darted suddenly from Fifteenth street directly in front of the car before the motorman could stop it. although he shut off the current and applied the brakes. The car stopped in few feet after 1t had passed over the boys body.
 Policeman Nix placed the motorman under arrest late yesterday afternoon and then turned him over to Coroner Paris. who is Investigating the case. Policeman Nix stated that as a result of the in- vestigation he made, he though that the accident was the child's fault.

Decrees of Divorce.

Tn the circuit court yesterday Judge Coleman issued three decrees of divorce.
 In each case the petitioner was the wife.
 Of these three cases the first was that of Annie Grammar, who was married to Sol Brannan January 23, 1901 The pe- tition states that she was aban-oned by her husband in December of that year.
 The second case was that of Marie L. Wiend. who was married to James E. Wiend in Philadelphia November 24. 1900. Mrs. Wiend asked for a decree of di- vorce on the ground that her husband was in the habit of getting drunk. that he contracted the habit after he was married and that he treated her cruelty. She left him September 29, 1903.
 For reasons similar to those set out in Mrs. wiend's petition, Judge Coleman issued decree divorcing Maud Morris from Samuel Morris.

YOUNG WHITE MAN
 WARNED IN COURT
JUDGE FEAGIN FINES HIM $50 FOR STRIKING A NEGRO WITH A SINGLETREE AND LECTURES HIM.

Because he had struck negro over the head with singletree, a young white man was fined fifty dollars in the police court yesterday afternoon by Judge Fea- gin.
 The prisoner was an employe of a local livery stable. When arraigned in court he pleaded guilty to the charge
 ''I shall fine you fifty dollars" said the judge.
 The young man was quite taken aback
 Why, Judge" said he, 'T had no idea you'd fine me that amount. I thought I'd have to pay about nve or ten dollars and then you'd let me go home I haven't fifty dollars on me-
 'In that case you will go to jail," said the judge. You evidently do not realize the seriousness of your offense."
 The young man attempted to explain. He wished to withdraw the plea of guilty. He said the negro had been impertinent to him and he had resented the imperti- hence by picking up singletree and striking the negro over the head wi h it. He only wished Ito punish the ne- gro'' for his impertinence, said the pris- oner.
 Tt is not for you to punish" said the judge. That duty devolves upon officers of the law. Young white men like you need to understand that you are not per- mitted to take the law in your own hands. In the eyes of the law you ana the negro you struck are equal. Legally, you had no more right to punish him than you would have had to punish a man Of your own color. I fix the fine at $50 in order to teach you and persons like you lesson. If you can't pay the fine you will be re- manded to jail.
 The young man stood up and was about to protest when Jack Curran. the court officer, interrupted him.
 Come on.' said Curran. "Get in there," meaning the cage.
 Friends of the young man came to his aid and the fine was paid.

 "As 72 per cent of the cotton farmers are tenants, 1t Is absolutely imperative that they and their landlords be organiz- ed. As 50 per cent of the cotton farmers are negroes, it is more important that they be all organized as the boil weevil will affect the tenants and negroes more than the landlords or those who own | their own farms"

 Marsden Attacks Experts.
 Col. G. w.

He said that per | sonal experience and observation had | convinced him that the proper use of
 the poison was highly efficacious, and | would surely destroy the weevil. He | spoke of what he termed the "entomo-
 logical trust" of the department of ag- riculture, and said the reports of the | experts were the 'veriest rot" | He was followed by Judge George N Aldridge of Texas, who said he had | followed Colonel Marsden's teachings as
 devotedly as the disciples followed the | Savior and his experience mad been that | after using the poison, he found more weevils than existed before.
 An address by D. A. Tomrkins of Char | lotte, N. C., was read to the convention, MT. Tompl<ins being unavoidably detained | at his home city.

able cures made by the Hyomei threat
ment, that he sells 1t with the positive
agreement to return the money if it fails
to cure.
A complete outfit costs but 81, and
consists of the pocket inhaler, medicine
dropper and sufficient Hyomei to last
several weeks
1t effects cure in the worst catarrhal
troubles and if breatbed at the com
mencement of cold or the grip, will
check it quickly and prevent sickness.
Extra bottles of Hyomei can be obtained

Hyomei goes to the most remote cells Of
the throat and lungs, killing all the
catarrhal germs, soothing the irrilated
mucous membrane and vitalizlng the

vent and cure catarrhal troubles, and
ward off attack of grip pneumonia and
similar germ diseases
