Ten days before election some boom

and distributed circular setting
forth that Candidate Johnson's father
had been drunkard and had died in
the poerhouse and that his mother
had taken in washing. You cannot

Some supporters of Johnson, too
much excited to know a golden oppor-

We're perturbed by this circular and
urged the candidate to make a strong
denial of the statements.

He Made Good.

Johnson also had the moral and men,
tai backbone to make him Johnny -on-
the-spot with his new job He had
had no experience as an editor when
he took hold Of the st. Peter Herald.
But he made good. He made good
also as governor of Minnesota. Do
you want proof? Then read the cleo
ton returns of 1906. Normally the
Republican candidate should have won
by about 10000 majority. AS mat
ter of fact, Johnson won by 10000 ma
jority Somebody asked him how he
did it,
81 only tried to make good,' replied
Johnson.
No boomerang was thrown in the
second campaign. If Johnson had not
made good in his two years term as
governor he would have been sent
back to the St Peter Herald Office.
As it is, he now stands in the glare of
the presidential limelight The wash

some one asked him what he consid-

administration AS governor he replied:

about conditions by which the state
officers obey the law themselves and
enforce it,
But Governor Johnson did not stop
at enforcement of the laws on the
statute books. BY his influence he
brought about the enactment of new
laws to meet conditions. One thing he
did was to have the legislature give

ties of re-enforced concrete construe- ton have been utilized. It win be representative of a type of buildings which have arisen only during recent years.
 The walls of the structure will be constructed of concrete. columns re- enforced by vertical steel bars form ing a safeguard against any lateral forces which may be brought into play. Tn the construction of the walls forms of wood are utilized, the soft concrete being poured into these and left to harden. In the case of the columns. steel bars are held upright and the concrete poured into the forms sur- rounding them. By the addition of the steel reinforcement, the strength of the columns Is increased two hum dred per cent and ample provision thus made for the enormous weight and vibratory movement which they have to sustain.
 Because of the number of heavy ma chimes which will be housed in the building only the most approved con- struction can be relied upon.
 Rather unique among the features of this building Is the use of steel girders to support the floor. Usually in structure of the type represented by the Advertiser building. re-enforced concrete beams are used, the re-en- forcement consisting of a steel web or more often a series of steel bars.
 There has always been unfavorable criticism of such construction. While in compression. the mere sustaining of a stationary weight, concrete forms are an ideal material, in cases where weight is shifted and consequent vii bration induced. certain disadvantages become apparent. In many instances

CENTRAL IS
 TO ANSWER Injunction Hearing Next
 Wednesday. COTTON COMPRESS CASE IS UP Union Springs Compress Claims Its
 Life Is Menaced. Alabama Railroad Commission Seeks rniunction Against Alleged Dis criminations of Central--No
 satIsfactofy Adjust
 ment so Far.

Prominent among the equity cases of the Montgomery City Court this week will be the injunction hearing of the Alabama Railroad Commission against the Central of Georgia Rail- way, by which it is sought to prevent the further alleged discrimination of that line against the Union Springs cotton compress. This petition will be heard by Judge A. D. Sayre next We'd nesday. September 16.
 Attorney General Alex NJ. Garber will look after the States end of the hearing. It Is not known whether he will finish with the caseN before the In- terstate Commerce Commission hear ing in Atlanta next week. He said yes terday that he would try to be present both in Montgomery and Atlanta
 The application for a preliminary injunction was filed by. the Alabama Railroad Commission more than two months ago. It followed persistent complaints from the Union Springs comerciaf interests in general and the owners of the cotton compress there.
 It is alleged that by certain discrim- inatory practices cotton compressing that would in the natural course of trade be done at Union Springs. IS tran nsferred to the American Compress Company at Montgomery. It Is clalm !" ed that If such devices continue the Union Springs company will be driv- en out of business.
 In another suit the State of Alabama Is seeking large damages against the Central of Georgia for the alleged dis crimnations which the State hopes to prove.
 The result of the hearing Wednesday will be awaited with considerable in- terest. The practice of the railroad complained of is tolcredit through ssll of lading on cotton shipments from an interior point to the point of destina- ton with local charges collected on the bales from the original point to the compress in Montgomery. It Is claimed that no such privilege Is &C., corded cotton shipments when they are sent to Union Springs for compress ing but that the local charges are col lected without regard, to the through bill of lading.
 It is also charged that the Montgom- cry compress Is but one of a chain of compresses distributed through Gen. tral of Georgia territory and that the majority of the congresses are own ed or controlled by that road
 It is understood that all negotiations between the litigants to come to a sat- isfactory adjustment have so far fait-

This medicine should also act as bowel cleanser and strengthener--moving the bowels easily without pain or gripe and restoring to them normal strength and capacity to carry away and out of the body all waste mat ter.

where 1t has been so used. a cracking of the concrete casing followed by the ialIure Of the beam has resulted. The use of steel girders in The Ad- vertfser building avoids that criticised feature of re-enforced concrete con- struction.

 thus providing protection to the steei in event of fire.
 The disastrous effect noted in the
 case of steel framed buildings at- tackled by ire is we'll known. The bending of the steel has in many cases
 been attended by the collapse of the structure. a great loss of property and
 sometimes loss of life.
 To prevent such happenings, the steel columns of many of the recent buildings throughout the country have been incased in cinder concrete, which | forming a jacket around the steel pro- tects 1t from the flames In case of | fire.
 In The Advertiser building, the only
 steel used is in the column re-ef1rcfce- ment and the floor girders. The fact
 that in both cases. the metal is com pletely covered by concrete is a guar antee of safety against nre. Work on the building Is progressing rapidly. The forms for the concrete have been built and set up in proper position. The excavation was con- cluded some time ago. The first floor girders have been hoisted up to the positions which they will occupy and everything is almost ready for the
 pouring of the concrete into the forms. The process of erecting a large strue-
 ture of concrete Is very interesting and the unique features which will be er11- bodied in the construction of The Ad-
 vertiser building make 1t notable
 event in the city's building progress.

mistakes which bring her the most
serious consequences, though she is
by no means the sort of woman whose
conduct can be made the subject of re-
