congregation, with the deepest regret.
Dr. Hubbard VIII, has been for four
years the pastor of the First Baptist

to the people of the Baptist faith and tie
citizens of the town, all of whom have

the strong men in their midst, He is
learned and forceful preacher and kind
and sympathetic pastor and friend. Dur

In response to numerous calls to hold
revival meetings. | feel 1t my duty to
go into the field of missions. | love the
work of soul-saving and now when evan

need of men suited to the work. There
is no reason for the change save a larger
nell of usefulness. l like Troy. my health

SEC. WILSON TO STOP
FAKE ADVERTISING
MANUFACTURERS OF FOODS AND
DRUGS ADVERTISE THAT Gov
EMINENT GUARANTEES THEIR
PRODUCTS BY PURE FOOD LAW.

Washington, April 16-"If these out
rageous misrepresentation do not cease
the department will publish list bear
ing the names of manufacturers who are
INDUCING in this campaign of deception"
This remark was uttered by Secretary
Wilson of the department of agriculture
in an authorized statement today, and
was brought forth by the fact that there
had come to his knowledge information
that number of manufacturers of foods
and drugs were widely advertising that
the United States government was guar
anteeing their products The secretary
said that the serial number and guar
antee required by the pure food and drug
act to be placed on food and drug prod
ucts were being used by these manufac-
turers for this purpose.
1.-THE serial number said Secretary
Wilson, lis assigned to fix the respon-
sbility where it belongs-upon the manu-
facturers-and to protect the innocent
dealers who have right under the law to
rely upon his guarantee. 1t is the guar
antee of the manufacturer, not the guar
antee of the government"
The secretary declared that every eff
fort would be made by the department
to put stop to these statements.
II will do a little advertising myself"
he said 'in behalf of the people. I am
growing tired of seeing untruthful state
ments on the advertising pages of the
magazines, the walls of the New York
subway and the advertising space of the
street cars of the principal cities. Manu-
facturers who will deceive the public
about the guaranty will lie about the
quality of their product"
He added that the law was to be admin
istered fairly, and that no honest man
ufacturer need fear that the department
will take snap Judgment on him or
harass him in any way.

SOLDIERS AND PRACTICE

Montgomery. April 6.-(Special)-The
public has become somewhat Disguised
with the actions of some of the men
who are in sympathy with the street car
strikers. and there is a demand that the
ugly business that has been going on
be stopped. The effort Monday night to
do violence to two of the men who are
in the employ of the company is taken
not so much an act of the street railway
strikers as of men who are trying TO
make trouble The police showed active
interest and sent the crowd about It's
business. but let it be known at the
same time that there must be stop put
to such lawlessness.
Three cars have been fired at or into
since the strike was inaugurated some
weeks ago, and one or more rocked by
persons concealed beside the track. The
company has offered a reward OF sooo TOT
the miscreants, and the officers of the
law are after them. There was some
complaint at the actions of the police
when the strike was first declared, out
lately nothing of the kind has been heard.
In fact, 1t seems that the officers OF the
law have become especially active to mead
off any sort of trouble. This was shown
by the fact that Monday night in few
moments Chief Taylor and Captain Smith
had fifteen to twenty men on the scene In
only a few moments, and that they were
there ready to keep the peace no matter
what it cost
