The street car strike in Louisville led by Ben Connors ended in disas- trous failure. connors was conspicuous some months ago as leader of 8 strike in Birmingham and with like result. He promised success to his dupes. but the net result is about 25 per cent of the men permanently out<of job and . large number on the waiting list. A strike is serious thing and generally ends with the strikers being thrown out of work. Connors is one of the walking delegate sort and make , money while his victims surrer.

Another Conner Failure. h ni.r,s | a rrh ar,, Connaf

North Birmingham Comet.
 The fight that Governor Conner has waged against the railroads beginning with his race for president of the haiI- road Commission, has been relentless one. No obstacle has been too great for the Governor to try to overcome. He made an utter and miserable fail ure as president of the Railroad Com mission; then asked the voters of the State to elect him Governor and give him a Legislature to back him and he would bring the blood-sucking rail- roads to time.
 The people did as he asked them. They gave him the governorsnip of the solutely under his control. He had railroad bills prepared to his ideas, had them passed. then pronounced them all o. K, and just what what wa was sacred that these laws should stand and that the State should not recede one inch from them. He had $50 DOC lawyers; threatened to call out the State troops, If necessary, in the en- forcement of the same.
 The Louisville and Nashville did tionai; therefore asked the Federal authorities to act on the matter. This was done, and still Aiabama's illus trious chief executive stood pat on his good" laws. Sheriffs, county 'solfci- tore judges etc., made the telegraph wires not sending messages to Cover nor Conner offering to lay in the Fed erai prisons or enforce his laws. but the "Ellen N' never got the least bit Frightened and kept their hand on the throttle.
 Then came wonderful change in our fighting Governor. Somehow or other the idea got into that wonderful brain of his that these 'good' laws he had the Legislature to pass were a little ragged at the hem and there was a gap between the garment at the waist and Miss Alabama was not presenting a very well dressed appear ance to the public eye. Did he take the medicine that Dr. Smith left Tor nim? No, siree! Our Governor isn't built that way. He just called those legislative boys of his back to the Capitol and told them to wipe that darned old railYay-110-commo bill of the slate and give him another one that could be depended upon. His good railway law" was failure, just like his term as president of the Rail- way Commission had been, and the taxpayers of Alabama will be called upon to pay the expenses of this last failure, just as they had to- pay the nrst.

 Hard. times in the mineral district the farming sections of the State, but is rather a benefit. Rather strange assertion, but the fact is the farmers are. not going to have half the trouble getting their lands cultivated next year that they have had for several years past. Labor will be much more plentiful and not so expensive on the farm. The mineral district can afford to pay higher wages for labor than the farmer, but during flush times up there the price fixed for labor is made the standard by the laborers on the farm; and the truth is. the proceeds payment of the price paid for labor by the mines and furnaces. There is very 2 little in common between mining district and a farming district.

WEDDING RING
IN FISH'S BELLY
Richmond Tonsorial Artist Has
a Remarkable Experience OF
Fisherman's Luck.

Ihere is well authenticated Bibli
cal story of the catching of fish with
a piece of money in his mouth and
!pr nineteen centuries there have been
nose who doubted the plausibility of
the incident. 1t has remained for Rich
mond and the twentieth century not
only to prove its possibility. but to 60
the story one better. Mr.. Mordecni III
Iaylor. tonsorial artist, living at No.
1913 East Main Street, went fishing
thursday night and caught a catfish
IN whose belly was reposing, like
Jonah OF old, plain gold wedding ring
May T. '02."
Mr. Taylor, who is quite an amateur
fisherman, and spends much of his
leisure time on the river. went out with
friend named Gear on Thursday eve
ming after his duties at the barbershop
had ended for the day. The two es
tablished themselves on some pontoons
left by the sanddiggers near the end
of Mayo's Island, and for an hour or
more had excellent luck. The largest
fish of the catch proved to be a great
cat. weighing twenty-four and one-half
pounds. When this fish was prepared
for market, from his innermost recesses
rolled out the ring. Whether the
greedy cat grabbed it as dropped by
some fisherman or whether 1t came
down one of the sewers which enter the
river at this point could not be de-
cidcd.
The fish brought $3.50 from dealer
at Old Market.

AS TO HOW TO SELL
MEDICINAL GOODS
Circular That Country
Merchants Especially Should
Read With Care.
LAW LITTLE UNDERSTOOD
But 1t Is Stringent and Will BE
Rigidly Enforced in
Future.

"a
The following circular from the vir-
ginia State Board of Pharmacy Is Of
especial Interest to country merchants:
notwithstanding the earnest and
continuous efforts of tho Board OF
Pharrtlacy for some years past to dis
seminate knowledge and instruction
as to the pharmacy law and as to how
and by whom medicines may be sold.
there seems TO be widespread misun-
Outstanding as to certain clauses Of
the pharmacy law.
Section 1853 OF the pharmacy law
declares that no one except a register
ed pharmacist or an assistant regis
tered pharmacist shalt sell or dis
pense on prescription or otherwise any
medicine of any kind. This is clear
and very positive.
Section 1865 permits merchants to sell
household and domestic remedies, but
they should be in original bottles or
packages, put up by registered or as
sistant registered pharmacists. This
section MS ii stands appears to permit
merchants to sell laudanum and NOR
be noted that the first part OF the
section declares positively that all the
provisions of sections 1863 and 1854
are binding upon merchants.
1t is also to be noted that the whole
pharmacy law was revised and amend
cd In 1894. and again In 1904 section
1863 was so amended as to prohibit
the sale of morphine and cocaine and
their preparations except upon ply
sician's prescription tphysician here
meaning NJ. D.. p. d. s. and V. 50, and
that such prescription must be filed
and not retilled. and no copy given of
1t. and as such prescriptions can only
be dispensed by a registered pharma-
clst or by an assistant registered pliar-
macist. 1t is clear that the last amend
ment of section 1853 was intended to
repeal section 1865 in so far as sec
ton 1865 is inconsistent with the Inst
amendment OF section 1863, and that
therefore no one is allowed TO sell
morphine and cocaine and their prep
arations except a registered or assist
ant registered pharmacist, and these
only under the special restrictions
above mentioned.
There are now upon the market
quite number of proprietary RENEE
dies. such as cough syrups. catarrh
cures and local applications that con-
tain morphine and cocaine, as shown
by their labels.
In regard to such proprietary RENE
dies, the Board of Pharmacy Is advised
by the Attorney General of Virginia
that the sale OF such remedies is in
violation OF the pharmacy law and
cannot be allowed, and, acting under
that advice. the board has determined
to make an effort to enforce the law
and to prevent the sale of such rene
dies after the LIST of October. 1907, and
this notice is therefore given to you
and each of you that you may aid the
board in enforcing the law, and that
you may not have any of such renee
dies in your stock on or after the
first day of October, 1907.
Very respectfully.
