 From Double Springs.

John Mcqueen, district attorney. and Judge A. A. Coleman of the Tenth judi cial circuit returned Saturday night from Double Springs. in Winston county where court has been in session.
 We enjoyed our trip" said Mr. Me- Queen, and we never met more hospl- table people than those who entertained us while away. Our time Tn court did not prevent us from getting a line on politics. I believe everything points to the county going for Cunningham in the gubernatorial election next year. In making this assertion. recall the fact that Winston county went for Smith in his race against Conner for railroad com missioner.

LARGE CONGREGATIONS
 ATTEND THREE MASSES
Father coyIe Breaches at Two Serv' lees at St. Paul's-Sign
 of the Cross.

The three masses at St. Paul's yester- day were largely attended. The Rev. Father Coyle said first mass and the Rev Father Kitrick was the celebrant at the s:9O and the 1O:9O o'clock services.
 The second mass is attended by the Sunday school children In a body. While the priest at the altar Is saying the mass in Latin in low voice Father Coyie oc- cupies the pulpit and reads prayers ana scripture in English. This service, in cluding a short discourse, lasts only 50 or 4O minutes. The theme of Father Coyle at the Sunday school mass yesterday was the sign of the cross. He said that all Catholic children were taught to make the sign of the cross properly by nrst placing the fingers of the right hand on the forehead, then below the breast, then on the left shoulder and then on the right shoulder, saying, "In the name or the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, amen' but many Catholics, said the priest, become careless and make the sign hurriedly. Not one person in twen- ty who enters this church." he continued, makes the sign properly"
 Father Coyle then impressed upon his hearers the holy significance of the sign Catholics should always cross themselves slowly and reverently and repeat the words accompanying the sign in devo- tional spirit.
 Father Coyle delivered sermon at last mass. There will be only one mass at St. Pauls each morning this week and the hour will be o'clock. Father Coyle was quite indisposed yesterday afternoon and on the advice of a physician will not leave his bed for several days. The Rev. Father Goevert is attending to the mission churches in the Birming- ham district

 tful Paees In the
 South. \

An extensive system of parks and boule- wards for Birmingham may result from investigations completed Saturday by George Cooke, considered one of the finest landscape architects in the United States. Before leaving for New York Saturday night, MT. Cooke outlined the work he had completed for persons living in Glen Iris park and pointed out the possibilities in Birmingham for one of the prettiest chains of parkways and drives in the south. He compared this city with Pitts burg, noted throughout the country for its natural and artificial beauty.
 Birmingham has all the natural beauty necessary" said MT. Cooke. All that Is neded now Is man to take up the threads of nature and make the metrop- oils of Alabama the prettiest city in the southland"

compIImented Founders.

Before discussing the improvements that
 might be made in Birmingham, MT. Cooke took occasion to compliment the founders
 of the city. He declared they could not
 have selected more delightful spot for the business section than the 1owlands.
 He also complimented them for their wis
 dom in making the magnificent checker
 board system of streets. wide, long and
 straight.
 'To complete the beauty of Birming- ham," said MT. Cooke, much attention should be given the residential section, the Highlands, which so gracefully hang | over the commercial district. Instead of having the streets long and straight they should be short and crooked. With this idea carried out and the land cut Into good, sensible lots, with plenty of frontage for shade trees, the bluff bids fair to become one of the fairest spots in the world

Must Harmonize.

"To accomplish this, however every thing must harmonize. There must be a sort of liberalty you know. The front yards must be roomy and deep. Proper ty owners must deal with their land literally. And to carry out my idea of beautifying the entire city, the munich pality as we'll as the tax payers would have to contribute literally by submit ting to taxation or some other method of raising the money But speaking from the viewpoint of man who has devoted his life to a study of landscape architec- ture, Birmingham should have parks even | if 1t should be necessary to issue bonds.
 Parks should be established in the valley. Little breathing spots should dot the entire city from one end to the other and bob up on every side. They should be in close proximity to the dwellings, where the children could romp and play in the evenings and where the older peo- pie would be wont to finger and while | the time away"
 | Mr. Cooke carried with him number
 of plans and specifications upon which
 he will work for the next few weeks. His
 observations were made while working
 for private persons, who engaged him to
 come here and consult with them with a view of beautifying their residences.

SCOT as q Disinfectant.

OF the many cheap and simple dis
infectants proposed for the use of the
people one of the most effective is
common SCOT. SCOT is composed Of
pure carbon and is formed by the hot
vapor of the hydrOcarbOn coming
from burning fuel striking the cold
walls of the chimney or stOvepipe and
~condensing thereon. 1t is a very light,
porous and impalpable powder and,
like charcoal, which is the same ele-
ment in a different form, possesses
the property of absorbing and retain
ing a wonderful amount of gas. This
great danger Of disease about sewers,
drains and other places is almost en-
tirely due to gas given off by decom-
posing matter. If SCOT be sprinkl2d
about these places it will absorb tie
foul gas.-LOndOn Mail.

CITY TTACKS GRANTS.
Chicago Council Revokes City Railway
Permits and Starts Suit.

War has been renewed by the city Of
Chicago on the Chicago City railway.
Mayor Harrison had Corporation COun-
sci TOlman prepare an ordinance, which
the Council passed, repeating the extern
sion permit, good until June /. That
done, assistants of the corporation coun-
sci rushed into Judge Mack's court,
where the judge, who had been asked to
hold special court, was waiting, and filed
a bill to determine the value of the 90
year act and the rights of the city. The
action was taken. it was announced, to
forestall any legal obstruction in the
shape of an Injunction in the federal
court. Not only the Council members,
but the chairman of the local transpor-
tatiOn committee, were taken absolutely
by surprise when the clerk Of the Coun-
Gil began reading the message of the
Mayor.
Mayor Harrison in his message recon-
meEding this course asserted that the
present owners of the City Railway
Company in his opinion had purchased
it to prevent a satisfactory settlement
between it and the city. They had per-
sistently declined to say whether or not
they would accept the tentative ordi-
nance in case that measure was approx
ed by the people and the City Council.
Further, the company had shown a de-
sire to test its rights in the federal courts
rather than in the State courts. AS the
processes of the former were slower han
the latter it would be to the advantage
of the city to take the initiative by be-
ginninfg suit in the State courts. Real
izing that the Mayors recommendation
would be likely to p~recipitate action by
the company, the Council fastened 10

ROBBERS DITCH LIMITED.
Rails Removed in Iowa and Cars Go
Down Embankment.

Rock Island officials in Des Moines
say that the wrecking of the Rocky
Mountain limited near Homestead, Iowa,
was the work of robbers, who succeeded
in escaping. Seven persons were injur-
ed, three of them dangerously.
An examination of the track showed
that the spikes for nearly the length Of
a rail had peer removed. The wreck oc-
Cured ON a high embankment. The Den
yer and Colorado Springs sleepers land
ed in the ditch, on end, the embankment
at that point being about thirty-fve feet
high. The engine, mail car and compo-
site car also went down the e~mbankment.
The wreck, it is reported, was caused
by an unknown person who removed
spikes, bars and anglebars and misplaced
the rail. Spikes were removed from twn
rails on the south side of the track. The
engine and first four cars were thrown
down a 45-foot embankment. The en-.
CINE was completely stripped, the mail
car destroyed, the buffet car thrown on
its side and two sleepers badly damaged.

TIE INcoRRIalsLs CASTRO
My Yet Succeed in Getting Uncle Sam
Into Trouble.

The French cable complications In
Venezuela have reached a crisis and Min
lister Bowen has informed the State De-
partment that the French minister at
Caracas, by instructions of his govern
ment, has notified the Venezuelan gov
eminent that there must be no further
proceedings on its part toward the can
collation. of the company's franchise or
interference with its property. Further.
Mr.. Bowen reports that two French
warships have been ordered post haste
10 Venezuela TO act in accordance with
the Instructions Of the French minister.
Apparently. in the opinion of the Chi
cago Daily News. this country will be
most fortunate if the incorrigihle Castro
does not succeed soon in creating an in
ternational situation even more embar-
RAISING than that which eliminated in
the AnglO-German blockade Of Nenezue-
Ian ports. The latest developments mt
Caracas suggest that il he is not actu-
ally seeking complications with foreign
powers he is not restrained by any fear
of them. Through his control of the
Venezuelan courts, which are absolutely
subservient TO his will, he seems to have
succeeded in putting the American as
phalt company u of business and con-
fiscating its property. Following the same
high-handed policy he is now proceeding
against property interests belonging to
citizens of European nations.
To appreciate the broad possibilities of
the situation which may result from
those repeated attacks on foreign prop
erty, it should be remembered that the
granting of concessions to foreign firms
is one of the most characteristic fea-
lures of Venezuelan industry. Like the
asphalt lakes, many of the mines are
worked by these concesSiOnnaires. An
American company operates the coun-
try's telephone service. 4 German com
pany is exploiting it's sulphur deposits.
The French Cable company has a con-
tract giving it terminal facilities and
the use of overland telegraph lines, The
contract providing that all disputes shall
be settled by the courts of the republic
and shall in no case give rise to interna-
tiOnal claims"
The Freach c0mpanys contract and
the concession of an Italian coal mining
company have now been annulled by the
order of Castro. who threatens to seize
the properties of these concerns. That
this is no new proceeding may he gath.
cred from the fact that last February
he annulled nearly 300 concessions ''for
lack of fulfllment of the legal provis-
IONS The Daily News says that so long
as a large part of Nenezuela's industrial
enterprise is of this character the posi-,
bilities for international complications
will rpm1in almost unlimita6 Tho facts
tend to emphasize the argument that il
the United States is to maintain the
Monroe doctrine it must adopt some
fixed, practical policy upon which to pro.
coed when foreign property interests are
injured by the acts of any irresponsible
government on this hemisphere.

SCIATIC TORTURE
PAIN SUFFERED BY MR. MARSTON
AS GREAT AS MORTAL CAN STAND.
For Six Months He Could Not Turn in

For Six Months He Could Not Turn in
Bed-He Tells of a Remedy Which
Has Given Perfect Relief.
The case Of Mr.. Marston shows that
sciatica can be cured, and no one afflicted
by it should allow himself to be dis
heartened. He was first stricken about q
year ago, and for six months he suffered
pain which he thinks the most intense
that any man could possibly stand.
Asked about the details of his remark
able recovery, Mr. Marston gave the fol-
lowing account: 81 was attacked by a
numbness or dull feeling just back of my
right hip. / didn't know what the mat
ter was, but thought it was simply a
stiffness that would wear away in q
short time. 1t didn't, however, and
20 the pain became so very bad that
every step was torture for me. When I
finally succeeded i'll getting home, it was
Just as much as l could do to reach my
room and get to bed.
1.-THE doctor was sent for, and when he
had examined me he said l had sciatica.
He prescribed for me, and advised me not
to try to leave my bed. The advice vas
unnecessary for / couldn't get out of
bed if 1 wanted to. 1t was impossible for
me to turn from one side to the other.
The moment / attempted to move any
part of my body, the pain became so ex-
cr~uciating that L would have to lie per-
fectly mOtionless.
81 suffered this torture for six months
without getting any relief. Then 1 dis
charged the doctor, and on the advice of
a friend bought a box of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and began to take them, three
at a dose, three times a day. [ was de-
termined to give them a thorough trial.
1.-TWO month"; after | began to use
them l was able to leave my bed and
walk about the house, and a month later
/ was entirely cured and able to go about
my work as usual. l think DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are the best medicine l ever
used, and | heartily recommend them to
anyone who suffers from sciatica."
Mr.. Marston is a prosperous farmer
and may be reached by mail addressed
to Charles P. Marston, Hampton P. O.,
New Hampshire. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills have cured other painful nervous
disorders, such as neuralgia, partial par
alysis and lOcomOtOr ataxia. They are
