LEAVES ATTORNEYS ID FIGHT BATTLE Governor Will Not Be At Capi-
 taI This Weak LAWYERS NOT TALKATIVE Local Attorneys Say Rate Litigation is Well Understood in the State and the Issue is Now for
 the Courts.
LAWYERS NOT TALKATlVE

Governor B. B. Conner will not be in Montgomery today when the state of Alabama will make answer to the in- functions of the federal court. issued at the instance of the Louisville and Nash vile and other railroads.
 The governor will not be in Mont gomery this week. according to his present plans. As stated elsewh ere, he, with the other members of the Ala bama high school locating board will visit Winston, Lawrence and other counties with the view of the future location of high schools.
 In this connection, the governor stated last night: No, will not be in Montgomery this week. The legisla- ture has done all that it can do, and there is nothing in which we can aid. and the individuals"
 Other than the above the governor did not discuss the cause to which the eyes of the entire state are turned. Prominent Birmingham attorneys will be present at the hearing, however, aligning on both sides. For the state, Judge Samuel D. Weakley. Capt Frank present. For the Louisville and Nash vile, Congressman Sydney J. Bowie special counsel, and John r. Tillman, local attorney, will be present. None of these gentlemen discussed the sit uation yesterday, all avowing that while there was no secrecy being prac ticed, there was really nothing to say The case, they say, is we'll known by the people of the state and what they might say would be superfluous.
 The railroads have restrained by in junction the laws of the state, and seek to have tn em restrained until the cause can be tried on it's merits.
 The state takes the position that in asmuch as the power to enforce the laws has been taken from the attorney general and the railroad commission, and placed in the hands of the courts and the people, tn cir enforcement can not be enjoined.
 It is the understanding the railroads claim the laws are confscatory, and that discrimination in favor of the railroads which acceded to the demands of the state has been shown, in that the Louisville and Nashville is not all lowed to earn as much from it's freight traffic as other roads.
 It is generally believed by all con- cerned that the matter of the state and the railroads will eventually go to the supreme court of the United States.

'We have sunk thousands of dollars in our roads," said Col. Sam Will John last night, "and 1t would certainly be folly to let them go to ruin at this stage. For years the Board of Revenue has been pouring out thousands and now that we have 1900 miles of county roads, it is sim ply suicidal to let them go down for lack of attention. If the money were spent on the roads instead of for salaries, we would not hear these reports from the county I personally have not been over any of them, but hear quite number of complaints
 There seems to be a division of opinion among the people in placing the blame for the rocky, muddy highways. Some would argue that the $12O,OOO annually is not sufficient, and that the county should find more money for use on the roads.
 Others declare that the above men, tioned sum is more than enough if it were judiciously spent The method of the expenditures is being criticized.

"coFFEE" COUCH.
Woman Feared Consumption but Spe- cialist Said Cough Came From
 Coffee.

Quite relief to learn your cough, which everyone said was surely con sumption, is really caused by reflex ir- ritation from coffee drinking.
 You can quit the coffee, but consump- tion is hard to shake
 A Wisconsin woman coughed so hard and so much she and her friends thought sure she had consumption. but specialist in lung diseases found her lungs were all right-the cough came from coffee. She writes:
 "I had very bad cough that re- fused to yield to medicine. After five months doctoring with my home doctor and fearing consumption, I consulted a specialist who examined my lungs thoroughly. He said they were all right but l must quit drinking coffee as that was probably the cause of it. I was very nervous, also.
 He suggested I drink Postum, and gave me no medicine, only said he would write to my home doctor. came home glad in one way an dsorry in an- other. I thought it was hard to give up coffee, for I did not care for break fast without 1t.
 "The doctors letter miscarried and I got no medicine for two weeks, but left off coffee and began to use Pos tum, and my cough began to get bet ter. steadily improved in other ways digestion got all right and l was not nervous.
 "A short time ago I went to picnic where they served only coffee and I drank some, but found my great love for it was entirely gone.
 "I would have been glad to have had a cup of Postum for the coffee I drank seemed like I had swallowed a stone. because I did not sleep that night. Nothing would induce me to go back to coffee again." Name given by Postum Co.,. Battle Creek, Mich. Get the famous little book "The Road to We'll yille," in pkgs. There's a Reason"

Candidate For House or
 Whipping Pesf Platform

Burns last night when seen at the patrol station. T have come to the decision that the whipping post is a necessity in Jeffer- son county Nothing else will put any sense into the scoundrels who are repeat edly committing little crimes and living on the community.
 "The whipping post would be the salva- tion of the city. The law ought to pro- vide for a public whipping in police cour,, laid on by the officer who made the ar- rest. Pretty soon some of these nuisances would be leaving for other lands
 T think the law ought to provide for all classes alike. Wife-beaters ought to get dozen strokes for every one they give their wives. Husband-beaters should be turned loose, as I believe that is their privilege"

of Dollars
 Poured Our OF Reads
 Musf NOf Go To Waste

Whether the county has the right to ap- propriate part of the general fund for use on the roads is a question now being investigated. Attorney J. H. Miller is looking up the law on the subject. It is understood that the legislature recently passed such a law.
 It is well known that on a recent oc- casion the Board of Revenue placed 6 large sum out of the bridge fund into the general fund, on the ground that it was lying idle. Some declare this to be a reason for the roads lying in a state bor- dering on ruin.
 It is said that money appropriated from the bridge fund to the macadamzed fund would be just as legal and far more bene- ficial to the general public.
 How can the county best improve it's roads? The Age-Herald is going out after suggestions this week. Opinions from any voter in the county will be welcomed. Publc-spirited citizens are ready to pull together for good roads.

 Hall.

Frank Croxton, the well known basso of Chautauqua, N. Y, wif sing at the Cable hall on Second avenue tonight. MT. Croxton arrived in Birmingham last night from Tuscaloosa, where he gave concert a night or two ago. In Nashville and the other southern cities which he has already visited on this trip he made a very favorable impression.
 Mr. Croxton's position as leader of the vocal department at Chautauqua has made him friends from all parts of the country of persons attending the Chau- tauqua, and he will very probably do the same here. His concert this evening will begin at S:30.

Mayor Ward Repeats
 Charges OfGdr71bing
Says Police Commissioner McGavock Has Been Running Gambling Den Over His Furniture Store-Says Gamblers Had Better Take Lesson From Fate of Saloon Men
 Who Tried to Play Politics

Mayor Ward, when seen yesterday aft ernoon and asked whether he had received an answer to his recent letter to Chief Bodeker, gave out the following state ment
 MT Bodeker seems to be doing all his writing to the newspapers. I re- ceived a letter from Attorney Blackburn. through MT. Copeland, on a subject con cerning which I have never corresponded with him. This controversy seems to be developing some fine writers. There is nothing like campaign of education
 Tt is comical to see the bluff that is being kept up in this gambling house matter.
 Lawyer Blackburn, who was hired by MT. Copeland of the police commission to write 8 letter for him and dodge the issue, shouts We want to know!' MT. Bodeker exclaims to Dr. Dickinson, They will all be forced to go before the grand jury!
 Sure! We will all be delighted!
 For fear the police commission may not get the information so diligently sought, the following is turned in for their consideration:
 " hereby certify that about three or four months ago. and since MT. w R. McGavock was elected police commis- sioner, I was passing by his furniture store and MT McGavock called me and made the statement that he had nice little game upstairs in which only busi- ness men played and any time I felt like playing to drop up. l never went up into his game, but simply make this state ment as an actual occurrence.
 " J. D. CARLISLE
 Sheriff Hiedon's Records.
 Again: Sheriff Higdons records show that MT. McGavocks rooms, the only en- trance to which is through his furniture store, then up an elevator, were only a short time ago raided by the sheriff and is one of the places which paid a deputy sheriff for protection as per the recent bribery charges The payment was made through B. E. Noryell.
 "Furthermore the records of Judge Fea- gins court of December 3, 1906, show

WHO WILL BE IN
 RAGE FOR MAYOR?
HALF DOZEN NAMES ARE MEN, TONED BUT NO ONE HAS YET MADE FORMAL ANNOUNCE MENT OF HIS CANDIDACY.

Who will be the first Mayor of Greater Birmingham?
 This is the question which has set tongues to wagging, caused heads to nod and sent a flame of gossip around the town. We are tired of politics, give us a rest for a while" is what nearly every one is saying, but this question won't down, and there is much speculation as to just who will run.
 The holding of an early primary is be- ing protested against largely but where there is smoke there is bound to be fre' and the fact that the mayoralty proposi- ton is being discussed so much will very probably develop so strongly within the next two or three weeks that an early primary will be almost a necessity
 Who will be the candidates? Rumor places Alderman c. c. Heidt, Alderman B. H. Cooper former Sheriff Capt. Frank P. O'Brien, former Mayor W. NJ. Dren- nen and Representative Jere c. King in the race. All of these gentlemen, however, are reticent in the matter, and are not in dcating whether they will run or not " ilH int dluouliNtiiSiit ol oHC liihil, though, il is believed that half a dozen more will be in the race in F hours
 Rumors are also rife as to the next sheriff's election, despite the fact that the last election was only held little oyer a year ago and that Sheriff Higdon has three years before his term expires. W.. M Drennen is also mentioned as candi- date for this office.
 While people are expressing themselves as being tired of politics, the enthusiasm which was aroused during the last few days of the Greater Birmingham cam paign wasn't all used up in that proposi- ton, and the way tongues are wagging it isn't apt to die out soon entirely.

The great and only Lew Dockstader
and his superb minstrels gave two
big performances at the Auditorium
yesterday-matinee and night. The
large audiences that greeted this great
minstrel combination were both pleas
ing and gratifying to the management
and the performance in turn was equal
ly so to the spectators. Lew Dock
stader still retains that dry wit that
was always his. The comical atti-
tudes and representations are great,
and he has lost none of that ability
to TACT like niger"
Dockstader this season is sur
rounded by the largest number of per-
formers that he has ever carried, and
all appear to be a well selected as
semblage. New songs and good voices
were enjoyable features of this min
strel and liberal applause brought forth
many selections that were not on the
program. The first part of this min
strel is perhaps the most gorgeous of
any seen this season on the road and
the costumes blended with it in a
harmonious manner
The Dockstader Minstrels were Civ
en- a hearty endorsement by Hatties-
burg people.
