TUSKEGEE OIL WAR
IS ON IN EARNEST
STANDARD AND GULF REFINING
CO. COMPETE FOR BUSINESS
AND PRICES ARE BEING CUT BY
BOTH.

Tuskekee, May 10.-(SpeciaD-Th oil
situation in Tuskegee is becoming deci-
dedly interesting. The carload of Gulf
Refining companys oil bought by most
of the merchants has arrived and been
placed on sale. The retail price has been
cut by some of the merchants handling
such OIL Charges and counter charges
are being made by representatives of the
competing companies as to the quality
and safety of the two oils. The past
week several explosions of a minor char
acter have taken place due in some in
stances doubtless to inferior burners
1t is charged by the friends of the rival
companies that the other fellows oil was
the cause of the explosion
An analysis of the Standard and Gulf
oils was made at the chemical laboratory
of the Alabama Conference Female Col
lege. 1t is reported that the flashing
point of Gulf oil was 81 degrees, Standard
oil Ill degrees. On the fire test the
Gulf oil stood Ill degrees, Standard 40
degrees. AS this test was made solely
for the benefit of the college who are
large consumers of oil the department re-
fuses to give opinion as to what the test
indicates as to the safety or quality of
either oil. A sample of each has been
sent to the state chemist for an official
examination.
The sentiment here Is decidedly in ia
vor of competition in oil provided always
good and safe oils are in competition.
The Gulf oil was sold here under the
guarantee that it is as good as or better
than the Standard oil.
Alabama is unfortunate in having no
law regulating the grade of oil sold In
this state and Mississippi is In the same
predicament.

THOS. EDISON MADE
ELECTRIC BATTERY
OF Miss Abbott"s Body and Sent
kilograms From
Current.

Thomas A. Edison, the great electrician
and inventor has made special eXam-
nation of Miss Annie May Abbott the Ia
NOUS Little Georgia Magnet who Will
give two performances at the Athletic
club tomorrow and Saturday nights, and
made a wonderful discovery as to the alb
normal amount of electricity in Miss Abb
bolts body.
He constructed a special coil of wires,
which he placed about her body, of which
he made human electric battery so to
speak As crude as his apparatus was,
he managed to get from her body enough
electricity to operate a small telegraph
line and was able to send a message by
this power over a mile of wire.
AS remarkable as this experiment OF
Edisons was, it Is more COMPREHENSIVE
to the mind than the marvellous feats
Miss Abbott accomplishes in her every
day performances, such as lifting ten men
and resisting the efforts of ten men or
more to lift her froll the floor or to push
her up against the wall.
Miss Abbott is under contract with the
Athletic club TO perform all these feats
and the entertainments are guaranteed
successes
Reserved seats are on sale at Stones.

DrenLen} great demon
stratien or the great Boston
Refrigerator attracted hum
dreds yesterday, ana the ex-
pert demonstrate in charge
will be on hand again today
to interest other hundreds
who will attend.
We want you to visit our store to
witness a demonstration of the best
refrigerator that was ever made. 1t
is the Bohn Dry Air Syphon Retrlg-
Erator, and the demonstration will be
by an expert Mr.. r. H. Kribs, from
the factory, who will make it both in
struetive and entertaining.
There is nothing remarkable in a
dealer thinking his goods are the best.
He would not stand much chance of
: success If he did not have some en-
thusiasm. But when he tells you that
this particular refrigerator has been
adopted after the most exclusive
tests, by every railroad in the United
States and by the Pullman Palace Car
Company for use in their dining and
buffet cars, it is a pretty good sign
that there is something in it. And yet
this is the fact regarding the 6ohn
White Enamel Refrigerator, for which
We are selling agents.
There will be demonstrated the diff
ference between the principles of this
and the type of refrigerators hereto
for used The differences are funda-
mental and radical, and they result in
q lower degree of temperature, and
economy in the consumption OF Ice
and a perfectly arranged system OF
circulation that insures a cleanliness
and sweetness never before attained
Please do not fail to come In
Wednesday. The demonstration be-
gins at Q o'clock and every one of you
ladies and gentlemen, too, are cordl-
ally invited. You will be pleased and
interested.
