Some of the worlds great men nave vvorke ed during the day and studied evenings to fit themselves for greater things. But it requires good con- stitution generally to do this.
 A Ga. man was able to keep it up with ease after he had learned the sustafning power of Grape-Nuts, al thou0h he failed in health before he changed his food supply. He says;
 "Three years ago had severe at tack of stomach trouble which iert me unable to eat anything but bread and water. ,
 saThe nervous strain at my offiee from e a m. to 6 D. m. and improper rood caused my health to fail rapidly. Ce- reals and so-called Foods were tried without benefit until l saw Grape-Nuts mentioned In the paper.

 The Game Warden states that game and fish are rapidly increasing In Ma con County under the law.

 This Section Is intended to protect the private rights of citizens In ther private lakes or ponds but does not m any sense affect the rights or persons to fish in running streams, no permis- sion being necessary to fish Tn the run hing waters of this State.
 '-The season is at hand when Doys are wont to catch young nocking birds and to rob bird nests. Parents are eau tloned to warn their children that 1t IS unlawful to capture any bird Tn tnis State that Is protected by law and like wise 1t is misdemeanor to take eggs from the nestsfof birds. The insectiv- orous birds of sthis State are the most valuable allies we have of the farmers and agriculturfsts and the practice Of capturing the young and robbing the old must be stopped"

 Down Decisions


 Civil Division of City Court Hands
 Down Decisions.
 A few non-jury eases occupied the attention of the morning session of the civil division of the City Court yester- day.
 Judge sayre handed down an import ant decision in the case of Mrs. L.. Wheeler against the Western Railway of Alabama in the matter of certain damages sustained in the fire which de- stroyed a large part of the railway 's freight sheds during last summer.
 Judge Sayre decided that the duties of the railway both while the goods were in transit and while in their freight house were equal and the same. A judgment was therefore rendered in favor of the plaintiff for damages oi $295.l5.
 On this case depends many others The fire which destroyed the freight shed consumed a large quantity oi freight just received. upon which no- tices of receipt by the railway company had been sent out to the consignee.
 In the case of NJ. Strauss against the Western Union Telegraph Company ir suit for damages for the non-deliv. cry of messages, Judge Sayre rendered decision In favor of the plaintiff, fix ing the damages at cent. In the evil dence brought out before the Judge ii appeared that Mir. Strauss sent a mes sage to the telegraph company ad- dressed to a firm in Nashville, Tenn The telegraph company sent the mes sage to firm in Huntsville. Ala, thus delaying goods upon which profit might have been realized if the mes- sage had reached It's proper destination on time.
 Other than two small habeas corpus cases. the court was very quiet.

out one. There has never been any doubt in my mind but that the Fair investment. would pay magnificent profit. and have used every reasonable argument could to show this to those who will be the direct and greatest benefciaries. and if they do not share my views and those of the other gen. tlemen who, with me, thoroughly can- vassed the situation before undertaking to raise the money to have Fair, am satisfied.
 "There are plenty of business men in Montgomery who will reap many times as much benefit from successful Fair this fall as possibly can, and if they do not attach enough importance to the movement to give 1t their support, I can assure them that will not be of- tended. The fact Is, some people stop me and ask why 1t is that l am so in- terested in a Fair. The answer to this is easy. was asked to join Tn the work of raising enough money to produce good Fair this fall, I worked
 the situation over and became con
 vinced that 1t would be the biggest
 paying thing that we could turn our attention to just at this time, ana accepted the trust and have done my duty. That's all there is to it. My tenure of office will expire Sat urday night; till then I am going tt work like a Trojan and whatever tns
 result may be. my conscience VIII p'
 clear.
 'srhe amount still required Is abou $2, 200, and if there is any one wns
 wants to make a subscription towardl reducing 1t and insuring a Fair. an, member of the committee will be gias to hear from them.
 So 1t is cleariy case Of Far or n' Fair. and 1t will take very little t settle which 1t will be.

 The Commission declares that over 50 per cent of the decrease is fcti- tious. due to the new system of book Keeping of certain railroads accounts as ordained by the Interstate Con- merce Commission.
 The comparison of the railroads is made with the earnings of 1907. which the Texas Commission shows was an unprecedented year for the Texas rail- roads in which they had more traffic than. they could handle.
 Earnings for the past nine months as compared with the same period of 1906, shows an increase of s2,soo.ooo. 1t is claimed.

on Saturday.
 The sanitary ordinance in regard to surface closets continues to be yiolat- ed dailys Six white people were arr rested yesterday for failure to comply with this regulation.
 The Sanitary Department is of the opinion that much of the sickness at present prevalent In Montgomery can be traced to the carelessness of the citizens in permitting the existence of surface closets on their premises. The department feels that such action is absolutely without excuse and are de- termined to put an end to the nuis- ance.
 great number of violations of this ordinance have been recorded on the police docket recently, but few or sne cases have yet. been tried Recorder Baber will look into the situation Sat urday, a number of the cases having been set for trial that day.

Chairman. Board of Trustees.

The above information will be hailed with intense delight throughout Ala bama. The names of pr. Massey and the Alabama Conference Female College are inseparable and as long as the col- lege continues and he is able to fill the duties he should remain at its head. He Is as vigorous in mind and body as he was twenty years ago and that means that no man can better dis charge the duties of President of the institution. The friends of the college are to be heartily congratulated on his yielding to their wishes and withdraw ing his resignation.

Deputy Sheriff Miller
Has Thrilling Experience.

Deputy Sheriff Sim ]. Miller, of this
county, had quite an exciting expert
ence on last Tuesday undertaking to
levy on mule under process from
the Magistrates court then in the
possession Of Eli Spires, who resides
In the lower part of the county, near
Woodford. The mule expressed no
objection to going with the Deputy
Sheriff, but the wife OF the good citi-
zen, who had possession Of the mule
raised very strenuous kick. She
told the deputy in no uncertain, If
not altogether lady like, terms what
she thought of him. In addition to
this, she secured q shotgun with which
she endeavored to dissuade Deputy
Miller from the conviction that he
was duty bound to take charge Of the
inoffensive mule. The brave and de-
termined deputy lent patient ear to
all that was said of him and calmly
withstood the offer of violence, but
finally succeeded in capturing his
prize and went away with it, leaving
the enraged husband and wife heap
ing vituperation. or something worse,
upon his defenseless head. Spires la
ter paid what was due on the mule
and it was returned to him.
Deputy Sheriff Miller says that his
situation was an unpleasant one, but
that he went for the mule and did not
propose to leave until he got the mon
ey or the mule.
