Many limitations;
Worlds Leading Soft Drink Has
 Myriad Substitutes.

Coca-Cola drinkers have many reasons for endorsing their favor ite beverage. First of all, they know that it is the most refresh ing and delicious drink made. The first glass proves that. Then, too, they know that the genuine Coca-CoIa is as harmless as 8 cup9 of tea or coffee. This has been proven by years of drinking this satisfactory beverage without the slightest harm or injurious effects to any one ef the hundreds of thousands of people who are more than ever Coca-Cola's strongest champions.
 Every glass or bottle of real Coca-Cola represents Natures choicest gifts to two hemispheres. High in the Andes, the Peruvians endure severest privations by chewing the Coo, leaf. Deep in the tropics of Africa, H. M. Stanley has described how the natives are able to make the longest. most fa- tiguing marches by eating or chewing the Cola nuts. Only the beneficial properties of both have been retained in Coca Cola. Guar anteed under the new Pure Food and Drugs Act, 1t is as harmless as it is delightful
 But Coca-Cola, as the best and most popular drink, has many imi- tators. While this naturally fol- lows, it is a matter of the greatest and gravest importance that all Coca-CoIa drinkers should demand and insist upon the genuine. Some of the injurious effects of these cheap substitutes have most un- Justly been attributed to Coca-Cola While there is no gainsaying the fact that the most dangerous re- suits follow in the wake of these chemical limitations, genuine Coca Cola Is absolutely free from any harmful or injurious effects of any kind. So it is that the entire prop osition devo1ves itself upon get ting genuine Coca-Cola. It means the enjoyment of the most delight 6ul and refreshing beverage or ac- cepting some substitute so cheaply ly concocted as to provide a large profit to the interruptions dealer at the risk of danger to your own health. adv

STRIKE SITUATION
COTTON EXCHANGE IN FULL BLAST
 YESTERDAY.
Manager Williams and Manager Jack son Both Operating Keys, and Appear Confident That Strike
 Wil1 Soon End.

Birmingham, Aug. 1s.--(special)--- Manager E. F. Williams of the Wes- tern Union telegraph office and T.. D. Jackson. manager of the Postal office in Birmingham both were hard at work in the operating rooms today. The striking operators were still to be seen hanging around the corners short distance from the two offices and appeared to be confident that the strike would end in their favor.
 The Associated Press operator in The Birmingham News office. J. w. Hust, did not leave his key at all. He did not follow the example of the two men at The Age Herald office, the morning paper. Atlanta. Montgomery and oth- CT towns were supplied with news matter via the long distance telephone during the day Efforts were made to perfect a little circuit by the Western Union today for a bulletin service but this was in vain.
 The operators had very little to say today beyond the announcement that they believed their cause was just one. One operator answered state ment given out yesterday by a man. ager of one of the offices here to the effect that an operator had gone up from messenger boy to responsible position, now making $40 per month. This operator stated that he was working what is known as the bonus" wire, that is receiving so much extra for messages handled over certain number within a given number of hours. This operator continued that the bonus" work required not only steady work but hard work and that men usually working this wire became nervous wrecks. He denied that the average pay was over $82.50 per month.
 Manager Williams, of the Western Union telegraph office here states that within ten days from now everything connected with the strike will have righted itself, and that there will be an abundance of operators without. hay ing to take back the old men. He did not believe that there would be any more business offering itself while the strike was on than the wire chiefs and managers could handle.
 Efforts to ascertain the feeling among the train telegraphers elecited It was reported that a num- Der fthe operators out on strike 9ith the commercial companies were con- sidering securing positions with the railroad companies, the need of a large number of men being announced.
 There has been no necessity of of ficers being called in to prevent trou- ble of any kind. The cotton exchange was in full blast today the operator being on hand as usual The messen- gers at the two telegraph offices were not seen hurrying around much. All business being received Is with the understanding that 1t is subject to de- lay.

BOARD OF PARDoNs RECOMMENDS
 MERCY FOR FREEMAN.
Montgomery County NeEro Sentenced 5D Hang Friday Should Serve Life Term for Wife Murder,
 Says Board.

The fate of David Beeman, the Montgomery uxoricide sentenced to hang Friday, now rests with Governor Conner.
 The Board of Pardons at its session yesterday heard the plea of Beemaa for the communication of his sentence froh death to life Imprisonment and thef board recommended Go the Governor that the life of the negro be spared.
 Governor Conner was not willing to make any statement in reference to the Beeman case, beyond saying that the case was serious one and would require much earnest thought on his part before he should decide whether the sentence of the court should be executed or the life of the negro spar
 The Board S Pardons placed It's &C., tfon on the Beeman case directly up to the jury which tried and condemn ed Beeman. The foreman of the trial jury. B. B. Smith, appeared before the board and spoke for communication and members of the Jury also made the same request.
 Beeman, it will be remembered, about a year ago killed his wife by striking her on the head with an axe At first it was claimed that the murder was absolutely unprovoked. but after the trial of the case and the sentencing
 
 brought up to prova that the negro's crime was probably not one of pre- meditation and on this nIs life, was based.
 Beeman was sentenced to hang more than two weeks ago. on the same morning that Colvin Coleman, the negro murderer of J. A. Finley, paid the penalty of his crime. On the plea of new evidence, respite of twenty days was given the negro by the Gov ernor, in which to make q showing.
 Beeman's case was brought into the lime-light by the offer of his brother, a negro preacher. to go to the gallows in his stead. The brother was at the capitol throughout the session of the Board of Pardons and remained outside the Governors office until a late hour yesterday afternoon.
 The Board of Pardons began work at 10 o'clock yesterday morning and disposed of over thirty cases.

Trial of Braun.


 Fritz Braun, former night watchman for Loveman, Joseph and Loeb, who is charged with stealing silks and other dress goods will be given a preliinin- ary hearing before. Judge I. H. Ben- ners of the inferior court Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. The alleged thefts were of the sensational order, and were said to have gone on during a period of years. The outcome of the case is being watched with interest.
 Charles M. Hayes, who was connect ed with one of the cotton exchanges in this city a year ago, today flied suit against the First National bank in the court asking for $50.0o0 damages. The suit sets up that the plaintiff was arrested on the 18th day of Au- gust, 1906. on the charge of aiding and abetting an embezzlement; that the arrest was malicious and without cause and that the plaintiff had pre- viously been tried on the charge and discharged.
 The allegation is made that the de- fendant was confined in Jail for a long time, to wit. five hours. and as a re- suit of the arrest was humiliated and had his business reputation seriously impaired.
 The filing of the suit grows out of the famous Alex Chisoltn embezzlement cases. when the former trusted pay ing teller of the First National Bank was found to be short in his accounts to the amount of $100.00o. A large part of the sum was lost in cotton specula- tions, and the bank caused the arrest of Hayes. charging that he had been an accomplice in the empezzlement. He was subsequently, tried and released. It is this accusation that is sued on and the arrest that took place at the time of the accusation.

 Galloway Thorn, a negro ore miner, was brought to the city today and car ried to hospital to be treated for in- juries received in an accident in the mines. The negro lost both of his legs He may recover after the shock.
