President Akin was right when
he said that the rights of country
people throughout Georgia had
been violated by reckless auto
mobilists. The average city man
owning an automobile acts as if he
were drunk when he gets out on
country road, and violates all of
the laws of decent conduct toward
those driving on the public high
ways. 1t is really a question as

a cement factory in the vicinity of De- mopolls.
 In prospectus prepared he figures out that a million dollar plant be erected and something between 24 and 28 per cent. made on the investment. He asserts that the stone to be found in the vicinity of Demopolis is among the best for cement purposes in the country and that It could be handled by water to the Panama Canal so that 1t could be sold to the Government or 10 the contractors at cheaper price than any other cement and at the same time be profitable to the manufacturer.
 He visited the Leeds cement works today. At ths place the cement is manufactured out of shale that Is found in the mountains near by. The factory is one of the largest in the South and has been successful though in op- eration but few months
 Mir. Lane states that the Government has been using the cement manufac- tured at Demopolis for quite a while and finds 1t equal to any manufactured in this country, The young man Is aroused over the possibilities in ce- ment manufacturing and says that the Southern country and Alabama in par ticuIar has not been paying attention to it's opportunities in this direction

ELkINg MINORITY REPORT.
Senator Says American Railroads Have
 Been Very Genernun

Senator Says American Railroads Have
 Been Very Generous.
 Washington, Feb. 24.-Senator Elkins of West Virginia has just compieted and filed in the Senate his minority report on the railroad rate law.
 The report was nominally submitted June 2s last but immediately with drawn for further elaboration. It now presents a comprehensive history of the economic development of Amerl- can railroads, together with exhaustive tables which tend to show a constant ly decreasing freight and passenger rate and the relation between such rates and the price of commodities and cost of labor As to the decrease in rates the report says:
 '"The average passenger rate ad- vanced slightly from 1870 to 1880. Dur ing the next twenty-four years there was a decline amounting to IT S5 per cent of the average for 1880. The de- cline in average rate per mile per ton of freight was 5a71 per cent. during Che years from 1870 to 1904. the rate for the earlier year being about two and one-half times that of the latter, nnd the net saving to the shippers av- craze 11.09 mills per ton mile."
 The report says that the cost of trans portation in 1904 was nearly two bil- lion dollars less than 1t would have been had the rates of 1870 still pre- vailed.
 The passenger business of 1904 ex- ceeded that of 1900 by more than 25 per cent, while the freight increase in wages of railroad employees of an av- craze were of 567.25 in 1900 and 630,S0 in 1904, the report says that the ser vice in 1904 was so much more effi- clently organized that the labor con- tributed by the average employe ac- eompIished 23 per cent. more in the movement of passengers and "A per cent more in the movement of freight than in 1880.
 The report gives the total railway capitalization June 30. 1904, as $10,- 71i,794O7s, and says this amount is 4.76 per cent. less than the commer- cial value of the railways as esti- mated by the Census Bureau.
 In the face of the great improve ment in railway property since 1890. the report says. the relatively insig- nifcant increase of 5.S1 per cent. in capitalization shows a decided tend

sleen is "Tired Natures Sweet Re- storer'" 1t builds up and repairs the wear and tear of the days work. With out sleep the human machine soon wears out.
 AN Y. City lady writes: My bus band and I were inveterate conee drinkers, both of us being so very fond of the beverage that we continued 1t long after we discovered that 1t was the cause of much suffering from sleep less nights and nervous exhaustion. We tried to give 1t up, first by reducing our allowance to one cup a day; then we managed to give it up altogether for A few days. But the craving returned and we went back to the coffee and the sleeplessness and nervous trouble.
 'Then. reading the advertisement of Postum Food Coffee. I bought a pack age and began to us 1t. My husband was skeptical and refused to try 1t. However he noticed that l was sleep ing better. and one morning declared that he envied me my sound slumber l told him I believed 1t was Postum that was helping me, and poured him out cup to taste He drank two cups and left his coffee uptasted and from that time has used Postum exclusively, and he cannot praise the miraculous power of Postum Food Coffee too highly. It has not only brought us sound, refresh- ing sleep. and taken away our nervous exhaustion, but we have found that us- ually all the breakfast we need can pc made on Grape-Nuts and Postum Food Coffee. We have been following this simple morning diet for some time. and feel the best beneficial results from so doing. shall be glad to verify these statements at any time, as we both feel that you are doing a lot of good in ex- plaining to people the effects of coffee and how easily to be rid of them" Name given by Postum CO..

PIG IRON MARKET
mANUrAcTURERs ARE VERY OP-
 TTMIsTIC OVER OUTLOOK.
R<ports That Prices VIII Ease On Have No Effect on the Produc-
 CTS, Who Are Standing

Birmingham, Feb. 24--(SpeciaL)-- Rumors to the contrary, Alabama pig iron manufacturers fear no early re- duction in iron quotations. There Is a steady inquiry for the product and quite number of sales of the product are still being made.
 The order books are too well filled and the. indications too strong that there will be need for large quantity of iron towards the last of the year to shake the manufacturers from their position as regards prices of the pro- duct. Not a ton of iron is being sold in this State, as far as can be learned, even for delivery during the latter part of the fourth quarter of the year under $1850 per ton, No. 2. foundry iron.
 There is no need for any iron to be sold under that price and despite the fact that representatives of large iron brokerage firms have been in this dis trict. recently giving out strong line of talk looking to a change in prices in the near future, the manufacturers are receiving orders and are booking them During the past week high of fcials of some of the largest cast iron pipe manufacturers in the United States were in this district and they were making inquiries as to the probable make and watching the conditions coming over the mart in the South.
 One of these officials began negotia- tions looking for large quantity of iron to be delivered during the fourth quarter of the year and the statement is made now that the negotiations may be consummated in a short while, The United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foun- dry Company. one of the larger con- sumers of iron in the country, will place business in this district during the latter part of the year if the nianu- lecturers desire any of 1t. It Is given out that this company has some inter- estfng orders for pipe and will have to use much pig Iron beyond what they have already ordered Other consum- CTS are said to be looking over the fu- ture prospects,. And. yet, there is some talk of weak market.
 An iron interest in this city in reply to question as to how the situation looked to him. said: T want to buy g few hundred tons of iron, third quar- ter delivery, but there Is possibility of the market declining and therefore am not buying right away. At the same time, I am afraid that If I don't buy now in short while will not be able to have my business accepted. So there you are. The manufacturers have sold ahead for a longer period than ever before and have right tc hold their position"

 As to the increase of equipment the report says that during the last four teen years the increase in the number of cars and locomotives has been re- latively much greater than the mileage increase. Besides both cars and loco- r,otives are now much larger than for merly.

 Major Samuel J. ort, Inspector of small arms practice of the Maryland National Guard. in discussing the move ment toward rifle practice in the schools, points out that rifle shooting lends itself to the general scheme of youthful instructions; for the weapon and its use demand not only well bal anced physique, but this can also be al- taired by its use, being well nigh per- feet physical training in itself from the numerous groups of muscles brought into action. It never produces a strain upon the heart. Tobacco and alcohol can be more successfully fought by the instructor of rifle practice than by any other teacher for he must demonstrate their evil effects upon the intricate ner- more than pastime, and Is recognized vous and muscular factors used in shooting. Rifle shooting of today is not only as a sport but also as science based upon mathematical principles, not yet, perhaps, thoroughly understood, but none the less exact.
