 The ingredients are inexpensive and can be purchased without trouble at any good drug store. To avoid substitution of some inferior pine product for the Virgin oil of Pine. it is better to purchase each separately and mix them at home.

LIVELY FIGHT ON
 NEW RAILROAD LAW
RESOLUTIONS ARE PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF ROME AGAINST GIVING RAILROAD COM MISSION TOO MUCH POWER.

Atlanta, March 17.-(Specal)-It is said that one of the principal fights likely to be made on the new railroad commission law at the coming session of the legisla- ture will be as;t,nst the feature which gives tn. commission authority to regu- late and control local rublic utility cor porations. sucn as gas companies. street railways. eie..t-ie lighting plants and the like.
 This fight was opened recently by the action of the City Council of Rome, which passed resolutions urging the legislature to amend the jaw So as to restore con- trol of this class of utility corporations to the cities in which they are located. It is urged that the railroad commission in Atlanta cannot be so familiar with con- dtions to bo dealt with as can the City Council Of municipality in which sucn corporations are located.
 The resolutions pronounce the new sys- tenn "cumbersome and unwieldly," and "a violence to the doctrine of home rule and a step towards centralization."

Vaccine InOculatiOn May
 Cure Consumption.

The experiments with vaccine inocu- latlon as a remedy and cure for tuber- culosis, which have been made by the pathological department of the Massa- chusetts General Hospital, have reached stage that warrant hope on the part of consumptives.
 The investigations have been conducted with view to obtaining vaccine that will so strengthen the disease-resisting properties of the human blood that death from tuberculosis in any form shall be occasional instead of common.
 It is so much easier to prevent con- sumption than to cure 1t, however, that TO precaution to guard against the de- stroying germ should be neglected. It often happens that the disease has it's start in an apparently trivial cold or cough that has been allowed to run un- checked.
 To break up cold quickly there is nothing so effective as a mixture of eight ounces of whisky with two ounces of glycerine, and F ounce of the Virgin Oil of Pine. Shake well and use fin tea spoon doses every four hours. It Is claimed this will cure any cough that Is curable Five. ounces of tineture Cln-

John Witherspoon DuBose comes of good Huguenot stock on his fathers side and of Scotch-1rish on his mothers side. The DuBose family have always been good fighters, and they have been prom inent in American battles from the Revo- lution down to the present And if ever DuBose or a Witherspoon, eligible to military service in the Southern Confed- eracy failed to engage in it. writes MT. DuBose in a charming bit of auto- biography "I have never been able to find him." Mir DuBose himself, a na- tive of South Carolina. was one of the first men to enlist as a private in the ranks, and" he adds-and nothing could reveal the man better,-"and I never as- pred to more. I was discharged thence with honor.'
 Himself a soldier, the author of Gen eral Joseph Wheeler and the Army of the Tennessee' is primarily fitted for his work. He had, further. a personal ac- quaintance with General Wheeler of 40 years standing, and up to the day of his fatal illness General Wheeler corre- sponded with him, answering all questions fully and sympathetieally, and express ing an earnest anxiety for the comple- ton of the book MT. DuBose is one of the few men living who can speak with certitude of the general and of his splen- did military career
 Moreover, Mir. DuBose is a trained writer and an experienced biographer He contributed three articles to the latest revised editoion of the Encyclopedia Americana, and his many magazine arti- cles and his books pertaining to Ala bama are widely known. Of his admir- able Life and Times of Yancey," Sen ator John T. Morgan wrote: "Ye~ fife of Yancey is a prose epic . and charming power. No finer chapter in our history will ever be written; and Say oyard' calls it 'the best of the lives of Americans"

HUDSON SENIOR RECITAL
 WAS BRILLIANT SUCCESS

In addition to the works by the com posers already mentioned the programme contained compositions by Prime, Mosz- kowski, Jensen, Arensky and Gustav Schumann. This was a strong and trying programme but the young artist went through it in a way that left no doubt as to her ability. Miss Moore has un- usual talent and it is evident from the scholarliness and polish of her playing that she has been splendidly trained.
 Miss Pitts sang several charming songs and it is superfiuous to say that they were heartily enjoyed.
 The last number, Hummels Larghetto and Rondo, Miss Robson played the sec ond part. Her playing was on a par with everything else on the programme it was beautifully done.
 Miss Moore and her teacher, Mrs. King. are to be warmly congratulated on the success of the recital.

Atlanta, March 17.-(Special.)-An echo of the celebrated Rawlins case, the sen- sation of Lowndes county a couple of years ago, has just come to light dur ing the proceedings of Gwinnett county superior court.
 In his earnest efforts to. save old man Rawlins from the gallows, Attorney John R, Cooper of Macon, among other things, alleged in his appeal to the United States supreme court that Rawlins had been de- nied due process of law in that he was not accorded trial by a jury of his 'peers'' He based this claim on the fact that there were in the Jury box from which the juries in the case were drawn, there were not included the names of any 1awyrs, doctors, ministers of the gospel, and several other classes, which he de- clared was discrimination against Raw lins as well as other defendants. :.
 On a jury which sat in case in Gwin- nett county last week. there were two

ELECTION BY THE
 PEOPLE REJECTED
CITY COUNCIL OF ATLANTA IS NOT IN FAVOR OF POPULAR ELECTION OF ALL OFFICIALS OF THE CITY.

Atlanta, March 17.-(Special.) )-Election by the people was dealt rather a hard blow by Atlanta's City Council yesterday when resolution looking to securing a charter amendment providing i. that all city officials shall be elected by the peo- pie, came up for consideration.
 In the primary last year the people of Atlanta voted in favor of popular election of all city officials. This applied especially to heads of city departments, such as are now elected by the City Council, and in- cluded such officials as the superintendent of schools, general manager of the water works department and others, places where technical skill and knowledge are required. There has been considerable op- position to the change on that account When Councilmen Huddleston and Cur tis urged in council yesterday resolu- ton providing for a committee to go be- fore the legislature at its coming session to ask for a charter amendment which will provide for popular election of all such city officials they hardly mustered a corporal's guard In it's favor. The reso- lution was not even referred to a com mittee for consideration and report but was promptly sent to the table, where it is likely to remain indefinitely.
 There has been considerable demand for the carrying out of the expressed wishes of the people in last years primary, and this is what brought about the resolution. On the other hand there Is widespread ob- jection to putting into the realm of poi' tics such positions as superintendent of schools, chief of police. chief of the fire ! department, as 1t might possibly result in some of these places being filled by incompetent men. It Is hardly thought likely that there will be any immediate change in the present plan.

Marion March 17.-(Special)-T senior recital given Monday evening in the Jud- son auditorium by Miss Mamie Moore of Hefiin, Ala, was unusually interesting.
 Miss Moore has a sensitive, artistic nature which responds readily to all the varied emotions of Beethoven. Schubert, Grieg and the other tone poets. While her technique is exceptionally well devel- oped, the mechanical element is refresh ingly subsidized to the emotional in her playing.
 She seemed equally happy in the inter- preta tion of the music of every one of the composers represented on the pro- gramme. Beethoven's strength. Schubert's s delicacy, Hummel's grace and brilliancy, Greig's picturesque coloring-all these were admirably expressed in Miss Moore's playing.

NOVELTY IN GEORGIA IS
 JURY WITH TWO LAWYERS

lawyers, N. L. Hutchins and O. A. Nix. the latter being one of the county s representatives in the legislature. The lawyers made no objection to serving on the jury, but the novelty of a lawyers presence on a trial jury was commented on and inquiry was made about it.
 It was learned that the Gwinnett county jury commissioners were in session re- vising the jury list at the time the Raw lins case was being argued. While there was little ground for belief that Attor- ney Coopers point would be well taken
 for fear of the possibility of it the jury commissioners in that county decided not to take any chances They, there fore included a number of lawyers, preachers and doctors in the names put into the jury box. and during the recent term of court the two lawyers named were drawn. They were able to reach a verdict all right notwithstanding the fact that they have frequently been opposing counsel in various Allegations in the court where they served for the first time as jurors.

 The Rome resolutions have resulted in no small amount of discussion. especially around the state capitol, and they are looked upon as foreshadowing at least one important direction which opposition to the new railroad commission act Will take.

D1r. DuBose'S Br7IlIant Work
 On Genera/ J0sepb Wheeler

NHR R. JOHN WITHERSPOON DU- M BosEs brilliant work, entitled Joseph Wheeler and The Army of the Tennessee is just from the press of the Neal Publishing company, New York and Washington.
 The book is divided into six parts, each part taking up a separate period of the war. Part I treats of the ancestry, birth, education and early life of the great gen. eral as no other work has done Part II. 1S61-1s62, follows him from Pensacola to Mobile; Part IT, 1862, contains four chapters: The Field of Shiloh, An Opened Career, The Kentucky Campaign and the Murfreesboro Campaign; Part w, 1863, six chapters The Gunboats and Dover, the Shelbyville Campaign, the Aband- onment of Tennessee, the Chickamauga campaign, the Sequatchie Valley Raid, and the Knoxville Campaign; Part V, 1864, contains four chapters: The Dalton Atlanta Campaign, Hoods Atlanta Cam paign, Wheeler's Last Raid. and the March to the Sea; Part VI, 1865 the Campaign in South Carolina and the Fall of the Confederacy.
 The two masterful strategic incidents of Confederate military history are the retreat of Lee, in May, 1864, before Grant. and the retreat of Johnston, at the same time before Sherman, as all authorities and historians admit. General Joseph Wheeler and the Army of the Tennessee contains an accurate comparative state ment of these two great military opera tlons and such a comparison can be found nowhere else. It is the only con- nected narrative of the Army of the Ten nessee known to exist and 1t follows that army from it's organization to it's equalization.
 It is a revealing book interesting as a romance, yet thorough keen, logical a brilliant story, reliable history. a val uabe biography.
 The publishers have the following to say in their announcements:

STORY OF NEW ORLEANS
JEWISH ORPHANS
HOME.

The Third Anniversary of the
Home was celebrated on the 9Th
day Of January, 1858. Mr.. L. L.
Levy delivered a very eloquent
Grafton on the occasion, and the
contributions were of the usual
liberal character.
The third annual meeting of
the Association was held on the
18th day of March, 1858. In the
Presidents report of the years
transactions, he stated the
membership as 1914, and the
number of inmates of the Home
to be 80, viz, Z adults, and chill
dren of all ages, %.
He reported the building to be
in need of considerable repairs,
requiring a heavy outlay of
funds. The receipts from all
sources during the year were
$5,151.45, and the disburse-
ments $4,951.44.
He stated that an annual eX-
animation of the school had
been instituted, proving the eff
ficiency of Miss Francis Hart,
the superintendent.
He also acknowledges the
great services rendered by Mrs
A. Haber, the President of the
Honorary Matrons, and her as
sociates in the economy of the
Home.
At the meeting of the BOARD
of Directors of April 18th, 1858
it was decided to make the nee
essary repairs to the Home
building. To raise the necessary
funds for this purpose a public
concert was arranged under the
Craftsmanship Of Mr. JOSEPH
Magner which realized, after de
duction of expenses the sum Of
$1,112.58.
A contract for the thorough

mediately entered into, at the
price of $1,750.
At the meeting held October
9th, Mrs. j. Goldstein, having
resigned as Matron of the Home,
Mrs. Ann De Pass was again
appointed to that position.
On the 7th day of February,
1859, the anniversary of the
Home was celebrated, with Mr..
Eleazer Block as the orator. And
the effect of his persuasive ora
tory was seen in the voluntary
offerings on that occasion of
nearly five thousand dollars.
President Simpson submitted
the fourth annual report of the
Association at the general meet
ing, held March 18th, 1859.
He reported the receipts, from
all sources, for the year ending

ance of previous year, 81, 434.58.
He stated the membership had
increased by 55, giving the total
number of members as 249.
And, on this subject, he com
mented as follows:
'The members roll may be re-
garded as the life-spring from
whence our permanent prosper
ity is to flow. Every additional
member is a friend, far beyond
his mere annual tribute. Rest
ing as our charity does for sus,
tenance solely upon the bosom o.
our own people, the sentiment
that fosters it is deepened anC
widened, as the circle of oul
Association is expanded"
The admissions into the Home
