This ruling will also be applied

MEN ARE LAID OFF

 DUCTIONs.
Two Switch Engines are Taken on in the Yard and Other Re-

The reductions in different depart ments began yesterday on the Louis vile and Nashville, when two switch engines with their crews were cut out over in the North Montgomery yards. Attached to each yard or switch en- zine is a crew of six men, so that when the two yard engines were abandoned yesterday twelve men were thrown out of employment and the reduction in this one department alone will average $1. 900 a month.
 Between Montgomery and Decatur ten "chain gang" freight crews were taken off yesterday. making another reduction of s4300. No passenger trains have been taken off so far. but this is looked for at any time Ac- cording to one of the Central Railroad men the affairs on that line are in even a worse condition than the others. The through freight service that was for- lnerly double daily between Montgom- cry and Macon Is now tri-weekly Sev- eral of the new engines received re- gently by the Central are standing idle in the Macon shops. most of them not even being put together.

It is now nine years since l took the James treatment. When I went to the James Sanatorium at Memphis. | Tenn, for treatment l was full or
 dope and without hope; since taking the treatment, I am full of hope and to take any treatment and was told there was no cure for me, and that to take treatment of any kind would be throwing money away. l therefore went to the, James Sanatorium as the court of last resort. When l presented myself for treatment my legs and feet were so terribly swollen that almost case of elephantiasis. During the treatment can truthfully say there was not one day that I was as uncom- fortable as I was when my system was loaded with sixty grains of morphia and one pint of whiskey, which was my daily allowance previous to the treat ment. Since leaving your Sanatorium nine years ago I have been daily en- gagged in business, and at no time have I ever wanted a drink or dope, and consequently have not taken either: My health, Is perfect. I now weigh loO pounds and enjoy every day of my lire
 i feel I owe my life to you and your speak disparagingly of you or your treatment I feel like telling them II they would make an unbiased inYestl- gation of you and your methods or treatment they would be forced to be- lieve as I believe that you and your Sanatorium are doing more TOT sur fering humanity than any institution of the kind on earth. I am, as you see from the letter-head, merchant Tn this city, and I believe I have the re- spect of my townsmen and enjoy sooo credit.

Atlanta Real Estate Man Compliments
 Thi~ City.


 Henry H. Jackson, real estate deal CT of Atlanta. who has been on an ex- tended business trip through Alabama, has words of praise and encouragement for the State and for this city. MT. jackson. who was most recently In Selma, stopped in Montgomery on his way home.
 T am surprised at the bright out look for business here," MT. Jackson said yesterday to a reporter of The Advertiser. "I have noted especially the new and substantial store buildings and the large displays of merchandise of various shops. Then, too. the resi- dence section shows that citizens are caring for their homes as we'll as for their downtown district.
 q am altogether hopeful for the future" MT. Jackson continued. "The panic made people all over the coun- try sick and there were a few deaths In business but We shall soon get over it for we have a great country"
 MT. Jackson, talking of the effects of prohibition on Atlanta. said that the merchants and property holders of that city were building up those sections which before the elimination of saloons had in part been summed on account of various dives there. Many of the saloon men had left Atlanta, he said, but most of them remained and are taking up other trades. MT. Jackson returned to Atlanta last night.

Attorney General BOnaparte Defends
 Governments Attorneys and Judge.
 Washington, Jan. "A sweeping de- uiaI of the charges by officers and counsel and more particularly by Pres ident Ripley, of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad. upon the gov ernment and the court in connection with the fining of that road $S30,000 for granting rebates, is contained in letter to President Roosevelt, made public today by Attorney General Bo- naparte
 The charges are denounced as un- founded and unjustifable. and in so far as Mir. RipIey's statements affecting the trial judge are concerned, it is stated they constitute unwarrantable reflec- tions upon a judicial officer respecting the discharge of his duties"
 Mr. RipIeys statement is quoted at length and. in it. he alleges that the Santa Fe investigation was a general inquisition." that the proceedings were | frivolous and veXatiOus and originat- ed in III will toward the company" The Attorney General concludes his | letter as follows:
 Tt has been consistent policy of the department to discourage, and as far | as possible, to prevent newspaper con | troyersies between It's subordinates and those whose enmity they might incur | through the faithful discharge of their public duties. and it's course in this instance in accordance with this pol icy But I feel 1t my duty in closing this report to say that the charges made by the officers and counsel of | this corporation against the United l States attorney in connection with the matters in the present report, appear to have been unfounded and unjusti- fable. and the comments and sugges- l rions contained in MT. Ripley's letter regarding the judge who tried and sen fenced his corporation constitute un. warrantable reflections upon a judicia officer respecting the discharge of hii duties as such which are wholly inde feasible. both in form and substance | and deserve the condemnation of al l citizens solicitous to protect the dignity and independence of our courts.
