TWO BAD NEGROES
 ESCAPE LYNCHING

Rome, Ga., June 23.-Floyd Walker and Henry Ogletree, negroes, were brought to Rome from Aragon today for safekeeping and escorted by a com pany of militia after a narrow escape from lynching. It is said the two negroes attempted criminal assaults on two daughters of George Suddeth, a white farmer near Aragon, about s o'clock this morning. The cries of the girls attracted the attention of Otis Anderson, who was working in field nearby. When h e rushed to their rescue he was fired on by Ogletree and Walker and slightly wounded. A posse from Aragon later captured the negroes and with great difficulty prevented a lynching. Deputy Sheriff Brumbelow took the negroes to a nearby store and guarded them for five hours until tn arrival of the Lindale Rifles. The blacks were then brought to Rome, on a spe- cial train and later sent to Atlanta under a special guard.

Cures Eczema Quickly
New Drug, Poslam, Now obtainabIe In
 Small Quantities.

Since it's discovery one year ago, the new drug, poslam, has successfully cured thousands of chronic cases of eczema and other distressing skin afflictions. Here tofore poslam has been dispensed solely for the benefit of eczema patients in large jars sufficient for a months treat ment. This was found to be an incon- venience to many thousands who use t for minor skin troubles, such as pimples, blackheads, herpes, acne, scaly scalp, complexion blemishes, itching feet, piles. etc. which require but a small quantity to cure. To overcome this, and in re- sponse to urgent appeals, the dispensers of poslam have been obliged to adopt Tn addition to the regular g package, a spe- cial 50-cent size, which in future may be found on sale at Jacobs Pharmacy and other leading drug stores in Birmingham, or may be ordered direct from the Emer- gency Laboratories. No. g West Twenty fifth street, New York city. In all ec- zema cases poslam stops itching with first application and proceeds to heal tmmedi- ately; chronic cases being cured In two weeks In less serious skin troubles re- suits are seen after an overnight applica- ton.
 Samples for experimental purposes may still be had, free of charge, by writing to the laboratories for them.

JULIAN IS AFTER
 ATLANTA CONCERN Says Foreign Corporation Has
 Not Paid Tax HAS NO STATE OFFICE Atlanta Steam Heating Company Has Contract on New Bell and Gay Teague Buildings at
 Montgomery.
HAS NO STATE OFFICE

Montgomery, June 2S-(Special. .)-Secre- tary of State Frank N. Julian has notified Solicitor S. H, Dent that, in his opinion, the Atlanta Steam Heating company, a foreign corporation, has been doing busi- ness in Alabama without having complied with the laws of the state, and that it Is his duty under several sections of the code to proceed against the corporation, which, may be, on conviction, fined as much as 5000 for each offense
 The corporation is charged with failure to have a designated place of business with an Alabama agent; with having fail- ed to file copy of its papers with the secretary of state and paid the tax on the amount of capital used in the state, and with failure to procure permit and pay fec of s1O as provided for in sections S651 and 3652 of the code. The solicitor will receive as his fee one-fourth of all penal ties collected.
 The corporation complained of is doing steam fitting on the new Bell and Gay Teague steel building. They were brought into the difficulty by a civil suit of a client of John A. Fillmore, who found that he could not collect judgment against one of their men because of not being domestic corporation and having no one in the state upon whom papers might be served. Failing to get his case adjudi- cated MT. Elmore appealed to the secre- tary of state, and as a result the action is to be brought by the solicitor of Mont gomery county.
 In his letter to the solicitor Secretary or State Julian said:
 'I beg to advise that the records of this office fail to show that any such corpora ton as The Atlanta Steam Heating com pany' has ever filed in this office a cer- tificate designating a known place of bus mess Tn this state and an agent in this state as required by section 3642 of code of Alabama, 1907, nor has there been filed in the office a certified copy of the articles of incorporation of the above named company as required by section 232 of the constitution of Alabama, 1901, nor has the sald corporation procured the permit from this department as required by section 3651 of code of Alabama, 1907, the fee for which permit is provided for in section 1852 of said code.
 Your attention is respectfully called to sections 3644, 3645, 364S and S653 of code Of 1907, and it is requested that proceedings be instituted to enforce the penalties pro- vlded in such cases, if the facts as stated as to the transaction of business in this state by said company are true.9
