TIE COME AND SEE SIGN

This sign Ia permanently attached 10 the front of the main building oi the Lydia E. Pinkhann Medicine Company, Lynn. Macs,
 What Does This Sign Mean
 It means that public inspection d the Laboratory and methods of doing business is honeatly deaired. It rneana that there ia nothing about the bus mess which ia not z open and above board.N
 It means that permanent invita-. tion is extended to anyone to come and verify any and all statements made in the advertisements of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 Is it a purely vegetable compound made from roots and herbs - with. out drugs 2
 Come and See.
 Do the women of America continu- ally use as much of it as we arc told Come and See.
 Was there ever such q person as Lydia E. Pinkham, and is there any Mrs. Pinkham now to whom sick woman are asked to writeF z Come and See.
 Is the vast private correspondence with sick women conducted by women only, and are the letters kept strictly confidentialp ?
 Come and See.
 Have they really got letters from over one million, one hundred thousand women correspondents? Come and See.
 Have they proof that Lydia K. Pinkhan's Vegetable Compound has cured thousands of these womenH Come and See.
 This advertisement is only for doubters. The great army of women who know from their own personal experience that no medicine in the world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for female ills will still 90 on using and being ben cited by 1t; but the poor doubting, suffering woman must, for her own salEe, be taught confidence, ,forshe also might just as we'll regain her health.

Road Brings Suit Because
 OF Unc0nstitutional Tax.

and further. In that the tax therein provided for. constitutes a subject not clearly expressed in the title of satd act as required by Section 4e. of the constitution of Alabama.
 The second count contends that the whole law is Invalid because 1t denies equal protection of the law and lm- poses upon foreign corporations already within the Jurisdiction of the not imposed on domestic corporations.
 The third count contends that the whole law is uncopstituttonal because # impairs obligations of contract be- tween the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company and other railroads owned and controlled by 1t. the rights and franchises of those roads to operate in Alabama--which was con- Ierred on the Louisville and Nashville the fraRehises when originally pur- chased.
 The plaintiff also contends in this court. that the state took the wrong pasis upon which to fix the amount of the tax.
 The remainder of the counts set forth in the suit. are framed upon the Idea that another and different basis is proper In which to fix the amount of the tax, one count upon one basis and another upon another.
 It Is expected that other railroads entering Montgomery. who have paid this franchise tax to the judgsa or probate, will enter similar suits today. These roads are: the Atlantic Coast Line. the Central of Georgia, and the Western of Alabama.
 The Southern filed it's suit in Jef- ferson County only day or two ago. that road having paid it's franchise tax to the Judge of Probate of that county. The act under which the state demanded this franchise tax, specifics that 1t shall be paid in some county where the road has . resident aEent. One third of the amount paid Is to go to the county and two thirds to the state
