NEW OFFICIALS ARE
 NOW IN CHARGE
CLARENCE E. FROST IS NOW MAYOR OF ATHENS-RETlRIN MAYOR CLEMENTS LEAVES OF FlcE WITH GOOD RECORD.

Athens, April 5.-(Special. )-The new Board of Aldermen, and the city marshal, Walter Marlborough, will be sworn in to- night when the retiring board have com pleted their terms and closed up their administration. The incoming administra- ton, like the outgoing, is composed of some of the best material in the city.
 Mayor Clements is leaving behind him a magnificent record as the chief executive of the town. and the new mayor has a business record that promises much for the future of the city. He has long been recognized as one of the leading financiers of the county, has what is known in bus mess parance as a long head" and his friends expect him to advance the interest of the town. He is aided by one of the best aldermanie boards the town has ever had all level headed business men.
 Circuit court is now in session with a crowed docket and moving very slow. Judge Speake says that there is less done in the circuit court in a term in this coun- ty than in any county in which he holds court Solicitor Amon says he is going to recommend to the legislature when 1t meets in July 10 abolish one term of the grand jury held in this county, giving a grand jury term at the April and October term as it is better and easier to get witnesses during these two terms than in the winter months, and that he thinks two grand juries annually for this county is sufficient to keep up the work. and this means a large saving to the county. Sen ator Hays is favorable to the movement.

FEARFUL ITCHING
 BURNING SORES
Boy in Misery F Years = Eczema Spread Over Body in Rough Scales, Cracked, lnAamed, and SwoIen-Case Pronounced Incur able, but Completely Cured by Two Sets of Cuticura Remedies.
HIS SKIN NOW FINE
 AND SMOOTH AS SILK

eSf wish to inform you that you. wonderful Cuticura has put @ stop to twelve years of misery l passed with my son. As an infant l noticed on his body a red spot and treated same with different remedies for about five years, but when the spot began to get larger 1 put him under the care of doctors. Under their treatment the disease spread to four different parts of his body. The longer the doctors treated him the worse it grew. During the day it would get rough and form like scales. At night it would be cracked, infamed, and badly swollen, with terrible burning and itching. When 1 think of his suffering, it nearly breaks my heart. His screams could be heard downstairs. The suffering of my son made me full of misery. I had no ambition to work, to eat, nor could l sleep.
 "One doctor told me that my sons eczema was incurable, and gave it up for a bad job. One evening 1 saw an article in the paper about the wonderful Cuticura and decided to give it a trial.
 q tell you that Cuticura Ointment is worth it's weight in gold, and when l had used the first box of Ointment there was a great improvement, and by the time I had used the second set of Cuti- cura Soap Cuticura Ointment, and Cuti- cura Resolvent my child was cured. He is now twelve years old, and his skin is as fine and smooth as silk. Michael Ste | man, Sumner Avenue, Brooklyn, N. r., April 16, 1905."

YIELDS THROTTLE
 AND OVER SEVENTY Barney Cavanaugh Likes Looks
 of Birmingham
HAS RUN ENGINE 45 YEARS
And Never Even Injured Passenger c. S. McManus Fears Results of AIabama's Drastic Rail-
 road Laws.

Barney Cavanaugh, his son, J. B. Cava- naugh, secretary of the Western Coal and Dock company, and C. s. McManus, gen. eral manager, will return to Chicago to- day, after spending q couple of days in the Birmingham district. They are all in terested in the Barney Coal company, which was recently organized and which owns considerable coal lans in Walker county, where mine is being opened un- der the management of Will Hughes.
 The elder MT. Cavanaugh has a peculiar record and one of which any man might be proud. He was until recently pas senger conductor on the Northwestern, which position he held for more than forty-flve years and during that time his train never killed or injured a passen- ger, and he was never absent from duty until year or so ago, when a death in the family caused him to miss his run. He is over 70 years old, but as hale and hearty as most men of 40, and is still able to stand days work as well as any one.
 Likes the Town.
 q like this town" he said of Birming ham yesterday while at dinner. T think 1t has the brightest kind of prospects and it reminds me of Chicago.
 ''The people of Birmingham attend to business as though they had something to do and were anxious to do 1t. 1 mean by that that the people here seem to be busy and always intent on business.
 This is a great town. no doubt about it. I was surprised at what I saw here"
 The younger MT. Cavanaugh comes to Birmingham frequently and is well known here and MT. McManus was formerly general superintendent of the Southern railway.
 In speaking of the railroad situation and legislation yesterday evening MT. Me Manus said that he hoped the legislation would not go too far.
 Too Much Legislation.
 q am afraid that this legislation is going to hurt Alabama and hurt her bad ly," Mir. McManus said: Tt is true that the railroads may stop the matter by permanent injunction in the courts, but am afraid that the injunction may come too late. It's like the pardon that came too late. If it arrives after the damage is done Alabama will recover slowly from the effects.
 Yes, I saw today where the Tennessee legislative committee had tabled several of the railroad legislation bills that were up, and I think 1t is good evidence that there is a change in sentiment coming in this country. There are number of bus mess men in the Tennessee legislature and Al .tcQ lot will hurt that state industrially and they are not going into the matter blindly.
 1T sincerely hope that she state will not suffer materially by the legislation, but like many others l fear that it will"
