PANAMACONFERENCE
NEW ORLEANS PROGRESSIVE
 UNION CALLS MEETING.
Mayor Teague invited to send Dele gates to Convention In southern Metropolis March z5 to Foster
 Trade. N

In a letter received yesterday by Mayor Teague from N. B, Trezevant secretary of the Progressive Union of New orleans, the mayor was urged to attend in person or appoint delegates to attend the Southern States and Gulf Coast Panama Conference. which will he held in New Orleans March 25.
 The secretary states in his letter that the conference will be attended by many of the most prominent federal states and municipal officials of the country. and that the Rivers and Har- bors Committee of Congress will be in New Orleans especially for the occa- sion.
 "The Progressive Union of New Or leans especially invites you and your representatives to attend this confe~- ence," the secretary says. ''and like- wise the Congressional smoker to he held on the night of the 18th.
 We have achieved some success in our fight against the determinations of of the Isthmian Canal Commission, but single handed, or working apart only slight results may be expected.
 'It is therefore expedient that the Southern States should join issues in this contest, looking into the future as well as the present, for, at the pres ent rate of discrimination in favor of the East, that section of the country will eventually control the trade poss- ing through the Panama Canal, and the South, tho nearer and possessing su- perior advantages, will be left to hold the bag
 In reply, Mayor Teague regretted that he would be unable to attend the conference but, said he would make every effort to secure delegates to represent Montgomery.

 It was the first time she had ever been in court, and the appearance of a woman of her character to answer to an indictment before the bar or justice was most unusual sight. She crept up to Judge Jones desk, and there, seated in chair by his side, told him how she had come to violate the law.
 Judge Jones could not tolerate the thought of inflicting punishment on the woman. He,therefore, ordered her re- lease, but not without advising her not to still again.
 She said 1t was her first offense and promised she would be never be guilty again.
 Mrs. Hawkins was arraigned with her brother, Hez Driggers, on joint indictment charging them with owning and operating still Officers had found the still in the kitchen of the residence and there was no denial that 1t was there.
 The aged woman told how her hus- band, Charles Hawkins, had taught her to operate a still. Her husband was fond of stimulants and, when he was seized with an iHcurable disease, he craved the stimulant to which he had for years been accustomed. To satisfy his desire, she set up ten-gallon pot still in her kitchen and manufactured wine for him.
 Her husband died about two months ago and, with the sadness of his death still lingering in her memory and sew en little children at home, she was compelled to borrow money to reach Montg tgomery yesterday for trial. When she appeared in court she was neatly dressed and wore a lareg sun bonnet. After being released, she desired IL most positively made known that she did not make any whiskey.
 Her brother, Hez Driggers, was tried later and convicted. He said that while he knew the still was running, he had nothng to do with its opera ton.

National Board of Fire Underwriters is composed of the leading fire insurance companies doing business in the Unit ed States. and its purpose is to influence improved and safe methods of building construction. encourage the adoption of fire protective measures and secure ef- hcient organization and equipments of fire departments, with adequate and improved water systems. The Board has no control over rates of insurance.
 Knowing that the Ire waste in the United States greatly exceeds that Of other countries, and believing that the recent great confiagrations would inn press upon the public the danger to most. if not all, of our great cities of like disaster. the matter has been re- ferred to a Committe on Fire Proven ton. charged with the duty of organiz- ing an Engineering Department com posed of men standing high in their profession and through them to inves- tigate existing conditions and making recommendations for Improvements that would minimize the sweeping fire or confiagration hazard. especially in congested or heavy value districts.
 Accordingly, a staff of engineers has been organized, and today there are in the field three parties. each collect ing data and making tests in the diff AcANHt NtNicos tnC WYE OSth6 NdAihS0 oh by men who have had experience in Civil Mechanical Structural, Hydraul- ie and Electrical Engineering.
 Tn accordance with this action. 8 corps of engineers, in charge of Mir. F. P. WaIther, representing the Commit tee on Fire Prevention, will. in few days. visit Montgomery to investigate the conditions of that city and to make a report to this Committee on the points txm .n- Y..tG ial reference to the conhagration haz- ard. Mir. Walther. the engineer in charge. vii present to you a letter of identification from this Committee.
 Tt is earnestly hoped that 1t will be generally realized that the National Board of Fire Underwriters has no de- sire to dictate, but intends rather to put facts before those interested, hoping and believing that the result may be beneficial to all concerned.
 Any assistance you may be able to render our engineers through the dif- ferent municipal departments. will be duly appreciated by us."
 Mayor Teague will reply to the As- sistant General Agent today, assuring hi mthat he will be glad to receive the corps in Montgomery, and will extend every facility to them for obtaining the information they desire.
 It is believed. however, that the corps will have no fault to find with Mont gomery's fire department or It's water supply.

COFFEE COMPLEXION.
Easily Cleared Up By simple Mean.

The coffee habit often causes sal lowness long before the cause Is sus- peceted. Then the coffee user may be willing to give up the harmful tndul- gence. The experience of a Pennsyl- vania lady shows how easily this may be done. She says:
 T have suffered from constipation and stomach trouble since child, when headaches were so severe that I was prevented from studying at school. Since reaching adult age, l have been, until recently, frequently in great pain rom ulceration of the stomach and had grown wretchedly thin.
 My complexion had become very sal low and my stomach was an urallevia- ted punishment to me. For years, we have always had some kind of cathar- tic in the house, which I took before retiring, as a matter of regular rou- tine, using one kind until 1t began to lose its effect, and then another.
 About six weeks ago my husband brought home package of Postum Food Coffee, insisting that I give up the old kind and try the new. It seemed to be impossible to quit drink ing coffee, although I knew 1t was in- turing my health.
 However, after reading the little book, The Road to Wellvflle,' which I found in the package, concluded to give Postum a fair trial.
 For the past six weeks I have used if three times a day and I gratefully testify that my stomach trouble and constipation have already entirely left me.

Communicated SIGNIFICANT FACT
Connected With Lee Street Freight
 Shed.

In the many dicussions that have been had in reference to the obstruc- tion of Lee street by the freight shed. one fact seems to have been overlooked entirely; and that is that the L. & N. R. R. O., is the only railroad company running into Montgomery which has not paid full value for it's railroad terminals. In other words, the L. & N. R. R. Co.,, is enjoying gratuitously the rights which are guaranteed under law to the citizens of Montgomery.
 Can this company complain if they are no longer allowed to use the pub lie thoroughfare, the use of which they have had for eleven or more years. free of rent? Let the thoughtful answer this question.
