HAYNEvILLE RAILROAD.
Trains From that Point to MorwansviliA
 are Promised.

! Trmims From that Point to MorgamsvIilA are Promised.
 The railroad to be completed from
 this place to Morgansvflle now seems to be a certainty, says The Haynevilla Examiner, and the promoters conftdent-s
 ly report that the road will be in oper- ation in less than sixty days.
 This is the enterprise which the town
 of Hayneville has needed SO much for years, a sure and expeditions means of transporting merchandise and the farm products of this locality and q great l impetus of the business interests of tIlS town may be looked for with confidence. There are millions of feet of timber standing in Big Swamp that railroad transportation will make valuab1e. be- sides the great amount of cotton seed. cotton and corn that Is grown in this section, all of which can be handled more profitabiy when transportatf0n can be made cheap and sure. Hay1e- vile is located in a section of the South where industrial conditions are very fa- vorable and with the completion of the railroad we believe that a great deal ok capital will be induced to seek investh ment in Hayneville, with the conditions that point to prosperity in manufactuf- ing enterprises. to convert some of the products of this section into rnanufac~ tured goods and even should TO saw mills and cotton oil mills be built here. the certainty and oheapness of transs portation assured by the railroad will reward the promoters of the railroad with increased trafflc and the town will have better business facilities. The railroad, as we have often said, will build up our town and increase the bus- mess prosperity of it's merchants and citizens.

The ManteIpIece Bottle Experiment.
You find yourself on II picnic perhaps
without u corkscrew and with a lot OF
bottles, all of them with corks In them.
Hardly anybody knows what to do.
The solution of the difficulty Is, how
ever, 1t seems, perfectly simple: "Place
the bottle, cork downward, upon the
edge of an ordinary ma~ntelplece,
steadying it, of course, with the hand.
Then with n slight impulse turn 1t so
that 1t falls upon the ground on it's
base. Pick ii up, and you will find that
the cork Il started. 1t is sometimes
necessary to repeat the operation be-
fore the cork can be withdrawn with
the fingers. a first experiment with Il
full bottle Of water tightly corkcd is
advisable. y fall direct from that
height will have nc desirable result"
The present writer can testify to the
efficacy of this "mlnor art" lie had,

Burned the Money.

The Bridgeport police believe they
have accounted satisfactorily for all
the SOL 900 taken by Edward Cunliffe
from the Adams Express Co. in Pitts
burg. Cunliffe said that one package
of $4,000 or more consisted OF 500
bills issued by a bank in Pittsburg;
that he realized that TO attempt to
spend any of this series of bills would
probably get him into trouble, and
that he therefore burned the entire
package over a kerosene lamp in his
room, and then threw the charred re-
mains into the bowl in the bath room.
Another package of bills he placed
in a bundle of soiled linen with the
intention of using this money later
as 1t consisted of bills of smaller de-
nominations, issued by different banks
1t was this package which the police
recovered.
The sweating he received in the
Pinkerton Office in Pittsburg was ex-
tremely severe. He was refused food
and was not permitted to sleep dur
ing the inquisition, nor allowed to sit
or lie down, but was kept walking
the floor until his reason was almost
gone. They surely did put the blocks
to me down there" muttered Cunliffe
as he staggered into the cell room
and fell on a bench. He was asleep
almost before he hit the board He
had literally to be carried from the
Pinkerton's office, six blocks away, TO
the police station. He had been asked
II he would eat on being brought from
the Pinkerton's office, but he was too
sleepy to answer. An effort was made
to give the exhausted prisoner some
thing to eat, but he was asleep almost
the moment he got inside the room
When food came he could nor be
wakened.

PRISON BOUND.

The supreme court In December,
1904, decided that the indeterminate
sentence law imposed no duty upon
the trial Judge and gave him no au-
thority TO fix the maximum term in
sentencing prisoner. This decision Is
holding over 200 persons in penal in
stitutions in this state beyond the term
OF the maximum sentence fixed by the
trial judge, as is the case with Robert
Brown, the colored boy whose release
from lonia prison has been ordered
and which will take place within the
next ten or twelve days.
Aside from this decision the Michi-
gan supreme court is vitality interested
in the question of the detention Of
such prisoners. A test case that would
throw light on the situation has been
before the supreme court since June
20 1905.
Although il involves the liberty OF
many persons who have served months
beyond the maximum term of sent
ence fixed by the trial judge it has
not been disposed of by that body
The decision of the supreme court
in December Of last year is regarded
by judges and wardens of prisons as
not being sufficiently comprehensive
TO apply in all cases, because the case
upon which the decision was based
was of an exceptional character. The
trial judge had not in that case fixed
the maximum term of sentence.
The supreme court has not as yet
said what wardens must do with their
prisoners in cases where the trial
judge has fixed the maximum sent
ence.

ALCOHOL IN MOST, MEDICINES.
indispensable Requisite In Compound.
Ing Of Some Prescriptions.

II is OF course true that some pro-
prietary medicines contain alcohol and
nearly all liquid medicines prescribed
by physicians contain II. No honest
man will defend the sale OF intoxi.
cants under the guise of medicine; but
every honest man should protest
against a system of wholesale denun-
citation born OF malice, or ignorance
OF pharmaceutical principles, and fos-
tered by selfish interests. II Is as
sumed that alcohol is the cause of in
temperance; but there is a great diff
ference between alcohol and whisky
IL substitute for alcohol could be
found for use in the manufacture OF
medicines, its discoverer would render
a great service to the profession OF
pharmacy and the science of medi-
cine, for alcohol is a very expensive
ingredient and q cheaper substitute
would be gladly accepted. Unfortun'
ately the word alcohol, in the minds
of many people is associated eXclu
sively with bar-rooms, drunkenness
and all forms of degradation and vice.
This is due TO a lack of knowledge
by the general public of the fact that
alcohol is an indispensable requisite
in drugs, tinctures and fluid extracts.
All fluid extracts and tinctures on the
druggists shelves contain from 20 to
80 per cent of alcohol; and of all
liquid medicines prescribed by ply
sicians more than rs per cent contain
it in large proportions.
Alcohol is required to preserve or
ganic substances from deterioration
and from freezing, and it is also re
CURED to dissolve substances not solu-
BILE in water, while it contributes TO
their preservation when dissolved.
Diluted alcohol is largely employed IN
fluid extracts; and whenever a greater
strength of alcohol is required as a
solvent for extracting medicinal prin-
ciples) the medicine is of such a char
actcr as 10 preclude a large DOSAGE
and for this reason preparations. even
If containing 80 per cent or more OF
alcohol. are practically less intoxlcat-
character of the medicinal constituents
is such as TO absolutely forbid the
taking of the medicine in any wa
except in very small doses and at
stated intervals only. To assume that
any great number of proprietary med
icines are used as beverages is the
veriest MISUNDERSTANDING
