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 Cola Is as harmless as a cup 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 f the hundreds or thousands of people who are more than ever Coca-Cola's :tronsest 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, it is as harmless as 1t is delightful.
 But Coca-C 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 Cola 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 theso chemical limitations. genuine Coca Cola Is absolutely free from any harmful or injurious effects of any kind. So 1t is that the entire prop ositlon devolves itself upon get ting genuine COca-Cola. It means the enjoyment of the most delight full and refreshing beverage or ac- cepting some substitute so cheaply concocted as to provide large profit to the interruptions dealer at the risk of danger to your own health

GIVEN THIRTY

 Pass on Plans. system of Gates, Car shed. Enlarged Waiting Rooms and Other Facil-
 ites Are Contemplated in
 Scheme ef Improvement.
TO IMPROVE PRESENT PROPERTY

The Railroad Commission of Alabama yesterday gave the Louisville and Nashville Railroad thirty days in which to do something in reference to its depot in Mobile.
 The granting of the extension of time by the Commission. does not mean, however, that the order of the Com mission at the July meeting, compell- ing the Louisville and Nashville Rail- road to enter the new terminal station in Mobile, is in the least abrogated.
 The Louisville and Nashville, through it's counsel, John V. Smith, came before the Railroad Commission, in response to an order by the Commission for that road to show cause why General Order Mo- 3, requiring all railroads to have ample passenger facilities at all sta- tiens was being hagrantly violated.
 In nswer to this, Mir. Smith for the Louisville and Nashville introduced be- fore the Commission yesterday after noon a letter by President Milton H. Smith of the road to the heads of the Chamber of Commerce, the Cotton Ex- change and the Commercial Club of Mobile, in which it was stated that the Louisville and Nashville contemplated a vast improvement in its Mobile de- pot
 Blue prints setting out these plans were submitted A system of gates, a car shed, a waiting platform, enlarged waiting rooms. dining room. etc. are contemplated in the plans, all tending for the greater safety and comfort Of the travelling public.
 It was asked that the Commission give the railroad thirty days in which to receive a reply from the commer- cial bodies, expressing their opinion of the plans. The total cost of the pro- posed improvement would be about @20,000.
 Commissioner Nesbit stated that he had no objection to the granting of the time, as long as the Louisville and Nashville is doing something.
 What don't like" said he, Ifs the Louisville and Nashville doing noth- ing"
 He acceded to the request for fur ther time, as did Commissioners Hem derson and Harris. although both were insistent that this granting of time should not be taken as an abrogation of the order for the Louisville and Nashville to enter the new terminal station.
 The Southern Express Company through its counsel answered the re- cent order of the Commission that 3 full set of its tariffs be filed with the Commission.
 It was pointed out to the Commis- sion that the printed tariffs of the ex- press rates would not be ready on Sep tember 1, according to order of tho Commission and the company therefore asked an extension of time of fifteer days. This was granted.
 After going over the new schedule ol

Condition of Florence With southern's
 New Line still Undecided.
 Florence, Aug. 1S.--lspeciaL)V-The mooted iestion of transportation fa- ciiities between Florence and the main line of the Southern Railroad at Tus- cumbia is still undecided, the south ern having submitted a proposition to inc Young Mems Commercial Club TO continue the service of the branch road under which Florence is cut off from the main line during the night hours. or to substitute therefor an electric car service, the Southern arranging with the Shefield Company to meet all trains and transfer passengers ana baggage to Florence.
 At a recent meeting of the Young Mems Commercial Club strong opposi tion to the proposed change develop ed upon the technical ground that Florence would be losing a railroad. The Florence branch of the Southern has been operated at loss since the e.7atric CT line vas put in operation three years ago, but the company. un- der the terms of their franchise, is ob- liged to centinle the service unless released by the people of Florence and Shefield. The oficial bodies of Shefield have agreed to the change, and the failure of the Commercial Club to re oh f)neiusion refers the matter back to the railroad.

 Firm.
 Mobile, Aug. i4.-tspecial.) )-Both telegraph offices in the Cotton Ex- change and Chamber of Commerce building, the Postal and the Western Union branches. are closed, and these two bodies are getting no reports whatever on the markets direct from the companies. They are getting what bits they can here and there. and the Chamber of Commerce is without St. Louis and Chicago news.
 It is not a matter of very great diff ference to the Cotton Exchange mem bers because they get most of their telegraph news from the wire houses across the Exchange alley anyway. Herndon and Company. Hagan and the other wire houses are not troubled by their operators, and are rushed with business The wire houses are hear ing from Liverpool and London. New York and other great centers daily.
 One advantage of wire house m 2 situation like the present one In Mo- bile with the operators of the tele- graph companies out on strike IS that in case anything sensational hap pens in the country this city will not be late to hear the news.
 1t is expected that the Mobile teie- graph operators will remain out just as long as the men do in other cities. The Western Union operators employed by the railroads are not affected They are responsible to the railroads Tor railroad business, and could not nave complaint unless the railroads should accept regular Western Union business.

NEW FRUIT STEAMER.
aobiia VIII Re Put in Mobile Fruit
 Trade.

Mobile, Aug, 14.--lSpeeial.l 1.-The United Fruit Company Is considering the advisability of turning the steamer Mobila from New Orleans to Mobile for the fruit trade, and the Mobila may come to this port after her next run to New Orleans from Colon.
 The Mobila was recently taken from the Munson Company and out of the trade between Mobile and Havana, and put in the trade between Colon and New Orleans In place Of the steamer Preston, disabled. Now that the Pres ton is to return to the line, or another boat is to take her place. the Mohila must be placed elsewhere.
 Another reason for the probable change of the Mobila's run is the dull ness of the season on the New Or- Ieans-Colon line.

At 4 o'clock this afternoon on the lawn or the lovely home of her parents, MT and Mrs. R. T.

It is needless to say that after many games had been played, some were "tattered and torn" but far from being "all forlorn," in that this seeming disaster made them go at the games with more enthusiasm, for their minds were free of the weight of hav- ing to be careful of their perishable frocks. Candies, cakes. ices and lem onade made up the cup of happiness or these small guests, who regretted when darkness came and brought to an end so enjoyable an afternoon.
 Miss Katie Powell entertained the Spring Hill Euchre Club at 8 o'clock, and there were many tables of mem bers and guests who voted this one ot the most successful meetings of the club.
