Paid Under Protest.

The Southern Cotton Oil Company, which paid it's fees under the Wirgo act to the secretary of state recently, did so under protest, claiming that it should not be required to pay fees on the basis of it's capital stock, but only On the amount of capital employ ed and used in the state of Arkansas. This company has an actual capital of $10,000,000 with an authorized cap ital of $11 100000. It claims to have employed in Arkansas capital to the amount of s299,653 and if required to pay on this amount of stock it's fees would be only $125, whereas it was $2,S00, the payment of which was ac- companied by a protest. While the company believes this fee cannot be legally collected, it paid the sum de manded by the secretary of state, but giving no intimation that it would con- test the legality of the act. The Con- solidated Handle Company, Dele ware corporation, was of the same opinion, but instead of paying the fees, under protest, filed a certificate with the secretary of state notifying that official that it had withdrawn from Arkansas. In letter to the secretary of state, the company states that it paid $275 at the beginning of the year for the privilege of operating small mill in Arkansas, and that this repre- sented one-hundredth of it's total busi- ness. On account of the small inter- est of the company in the state, it preferred to cease doing business in Arkansas

WEAK PEOPLE
MADE STRONG AND ENERGETIC BY DR. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
General Breakdown Caused by Def1- Blood Qnicklx Corrected by .
This Tonic Remedy.

A feeling of general weakness, poor appetite, loss of breath after the slight est exercise and broken sleep are some of the symptoms of general debility. You may think that they have no relation to each other and that you will worry along, hoping all the time to feel better soon. This is a mistake, for every one of the symptoms is caused by bad blood, which must be made pure and new before health will be restored again. A tonic treatment is necessary and for this purpose there is no better remedy than Dr. Williams Pink Pills.
 MT. J. G. Havey, of 95 Willow St., Chelsea, Mass, says: "I was sick for number of years from general debility and indigestion. was never free from stomach trouble and my nerves were so shattered that the least excitement un- fitted me for any serious work. My sleep was restless on account of terrible pains in the small of my back. These pains would sometimes last for month or two. Mysight grew weak, there seem- ing to No a blur constantly before my eyes. I couldn't concentrate my mind on my work, and the attempt to do so completely exhausted me.
 Il was undl1y IOrceO 10 give up position l had held for twenty-eight years. After trying several medicines without help, read of Dr. Williams Pink Pills and gave them trial. They made me feel so much better and so much stronger that started in business for myself here in Chelsea. l have never had return of my former sick ness and cheerfully recommend Dr. Will. liams' Pink Pills as an excellent nerve and blood tonic.''
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills have long been recognized as an excellent tonic remedy in cases of indigestion and gen. eral debility, where the stomach and other organs of the body are weakened and disordered simply through lack of proper nourishment. They have also been especially successful in curing an8mia, rheumatism, after effects of the grip and levers.
 A pamphlet on "Diseases of the Blood" and copy of our diet book will be sent free on request to anyone inter- ested.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2 50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

THE NEW INSURANCE AGENT.
He Comes in With the New Law-Paut
 Morton on His Opportunity.

The new insurance law of the State of New York has opened up a promis- ing field for both men and women with brains and energy in the sale of life insurance. The law now provides standard forms of policies, each of which practically bears the hall mark of the State of New York, and this new order of things has established the sale of life insurance on a correct basis.
 The prohibition against relating and cxtravagant allowances to agents has driven out of the business the old type of insurance agent, who in many cases virtually bought business, with large rebates, instead of selling it. His place isa being taken by profes- sors, lawyers, school teachers of both sexes, and others, who find that being a life insurance agent under the new system offers greater reward than their previous vacations. The law has reduced commissions but all of the commission now goes to the agent. Life insurance is something that CSClyOnO ACOoo elAu lhS Pi 70 ent system it's sale is being conducted with becoming dignity and propriety.
 Paul Morton, president of the Equita- ble Life Assurance Society, has taken the lead in building up an agency or ganization that is in keeping with the demands of public sentiment and the standard he has set for his company. Ioo{I, men and women, but none except en- ergetic, able and truthful people need apply. For such there is a splendid opportunity"
 Mr. Morton's policy of injecting new and vigorous blood into the agency force of the Society is meeting with success in all parts of the country.
