WON'T CALL MEETING NOW
Chairman YeOmans Hasn't Considered
Matter of Meeting OF State Dem
cratic Executive Committee.

Newspapers of the state are already
discussing and surmising a date for
the meeting of the state democratic ex-
ecutive committee in reference to the
coming democratic primary. Hon. NJ.
j. Yeomans, the chairman of the COM
mlttee, has not yet even considered
calling the committee together, much
less deciding upon time for it to
assemble. In speaking of the matter
he said:
ct is impossible for me to say now
just when meeting of the state com
mittee will be called. 1t may be along
about the usual time in March, or Il
may be later. SO far | have heard
from practically none of the members
of the committee on the subject, and it
will depend largely upon their wishes
in the matter as to when the call for
meeting will be issued. So far |
have heard very little discussion of the
subject as to when the primary should
be held"

Tell Why They Endorse Vinol So
Highly.

Tell Why They Endorse Vinol So
Highly.
First: Vinol contains in concen-
trated form all of the medicinal cura-
tive elements of cod liver oil, actually
taken from fresh Gods livers, but with
out a drop of oil to nauseate and up
set the stomach, and retard it's work;
therefore, where old fashioned cod liver
oil or emissions will do good Vinol
will do far more good.
Second; Because Vinol is not a
patent or secret medicine; it contains
no injurious drugs to react upon the
system, and you know just what you
are taking, as everything it contains
is printed on the back label of every
bottle.
Third: Because Vinol acts first up
on the stomach, creates healthy APP
petite, tones up the digestive organs,
purifes and enriches the blood, and
in natural manner health is restored
and strength is created.
Fourth: Since we have put Vinol
on the market our admiration for it
has steadily increased, because it
rarely disappoints a customer; in fact,
we can truthfully say we never sold a
medicine more satisfactory to create
strength for old people, weak, sickly
women and children, nursing mothers
and to build up strength after a severe
sickness.
Again, Vinol is endorsed by eminent
physicians and guaranteed by over
two thousand of the leading druggists
of this county. These are some of the
reasons why we believe in Vinol.

Was in a railroad Wreck.

Colonel w. Fl. Gurr, who returned
Saturday morning from trip to Fitz-

Atlantic 81 Birmingham road. About
eight miles from Montezuma the track
spread, and the tender and express
car turned over. The train was NOV

no one was hurt; otherwise, the wreck
would in all probability have been a
very disastrous one.

UNPOPULAR TwoPENcE FINE.
Agitation in Vienna Against Penalty

Agitation fn Vienna Against Penalty
for Coming Home Late.
Tired of paying twopence to get into
or come out of their own houses after
10 o'clock ut night, many good citizens
Of Vienna have been agItating for an
extension of CLOSING time" at least
until II o'clock, says the Pail Mall
Gazette. This custom Of "Sperrstunde"
CLOSING time). with its accompanying
"Sperrgeld" tentrance money!, is one
peculiar to Vienna. 1t obtains In no
other capital or big city on the CONT
nent, although they resemble the Aus
trian capital In that their residences
are practically all fiat houses. But in
all these cities tho tenants are provided
with house keys. Only in Vienna must
those who are cut after 10 o'clock ring
up the porter and pay twopence before
they can get to their own apartments.
Similarly, too, anybody wanting to
leave the house between that time and
6 o'clock the next morning, be he Wis
itor or tenant, must pay the same toll,
which Is the perquisite of the porter.
And not only is the house door lock
ed. but all lights in halls and stair
cases are put out precisely at 10 o'clock
and the late home-comer must grope
his way upstairs with the aid of wax
taper stuck in bit of cardboard,
which drops grease spots lmpartially
on clothing and stairs.
1t Is this locking-up time which
gives Vienna streets ut night the as
pect of country lanes. which strikes
every foreign visitor. In no other Eu-
ropean capital are the streets so dull
and empty long before midnight.
While, however, thousands of people
complain of the nuisance and the ex-
tortion involved by this ridiculous Gus
tom, 1t is upheld strongly by the land
lords and city authorities-by the land
lords because the "Sperrgeld" enables
them to get house porters for little
more than lodging quarters, and by the
authorities because the locking up of
the houses affords immense protection
against burglaries and night crimes
generally and consequent saving in
police duties. In fact, 1t is almost
solely upon the ground of the public
safety that the government has now
again refused to permit any abandon
ment Of this peculiar custom or even
any extension of the hour of locking up.
