FIXES LICENSES
DR.. THOMAS j. BROTHERS is
ELECTED CITY PHYSICIAN TO
SUCCEED DIR. E. NJ. MOON, WHO
MOVES TO BIRMINGHAM.

Anniston December 30--(Special)-The
city council in adjourned session last
night was engaged chiefly with the Ii
cense ordinance for 1909, though not very
many changes from the schedules of 1908
were made. The tax on newspaper offices
was reduced from $50 to $25 and 80 per
cent reduction was also made in the IL
cense of land companies. Coal dealers
were placed on sliding scale of from so
to $40 according to the amount sold.
Meat wagons were taxed 800, but the eff
fort to tax merchandise peddlers the same
amount met defeat Pool tables were
placed on equality without reference to
their location. Heretofore, poolrooms in
hotels were taxed $50 on each table, while
in other places each table was assessed
$100 Under the change made last night,
each and every table will be charged 500.
Besides this, the ordinance provides that
persons desiring license shall make APP
plication to the council and such appli-
cation shall have been approved by the
police committee before a license shall
ISSUE
The effort of ]. Baxter Allen to have
removed the license tax against diaries
failed His contention was that 1t
worked a hardship on both the dairymen
and their customers and afforded no pro-
lection He then asked the council to
require all persons selling milk and but
ter in the city to pay license tax OF
$40 This also failed and the ordinance
was unchanged in this regard from the
provisions of 1908.
DIR. Thomas ]. Brothers was elected city
physician to succeed DR.. f. n. Moon who
recently resigned to go to Birmingham.
The council ordered an issue of $4,000
bonds to pay for sidewalk paving recent

TRUSTEES FILE
ABATEMENT PLEA
CLAIM THAT SOUTHERN STEEL is
NOT YET OFFICIALLY BANK
RUPT AND THAT TRUSTEES CAN
NOT BE sUED-sHovEL PLANT.

Gadsden, December 30-(Special.) 1.-THE
trustees of the Southern Steel, Messrs.
Hassinger, Kyle and Morris, through their
attorneys, Hood & Murphree, have filed
a plea in abatement to the action of the
administrator of Roy Burns, Middleton
Whit, in which it is sought to recover
the sum of 100000 for the death of the
boy, who was accidentally killed at the
local plant of the company. The trustees
In their plea aver that as the company
has never as yet been declared a bank
rupt they cannot properly be made parties
to the suit and even if they could be
included in the action the plaintiff would
first have to obtain leave of the bank
ruptcy court.
1t was authoritatively announced to-
day by those interested in the shovel fac
tory at Pell City, which has contem-
plated a removal to this city for some
time, that the change would be made at
once. Bessemer has also been making
overtures to the new industry and for a
time 1t looked as though there was some
doubt as to its location here, but with
the announcement made today there is
no further question. The plant will be
removed to this city just as soon as the
proper buildings can be provided. The
new industry will make shovels, horse
shoes and some other speeialties and will
give employment at the outset to 40 or
so men.
The Coosa Handle factory, located here,
which has been idle for some time, will
again be operated the first of the year.
The concern is a small one employing
about Is men but every little helps these
days and Gadsden people welcome all
industrial activity, great or small There
is an abundance of good handle material
in the vicinity and with favorable con-
ditions the plant can run here for many
years.
The time for an appeal in the case of
Green Albright, the Walnut Grove man
convicted of wife murder, has now ex-
pred and it is likely that the prisoner
will be taken to the penitentiary at an
early day. Albright complains that he
was not given justice but evidently pre-
fers to abide by the present sentence for
life than to be tried again with the
chance of being hung.

A Trial Package of Stuart's Charcoal
Eozenges Sent Free BY Mail.

Eozenges Sent Free BY Mail.
The stomach and digestive canal of man
fill with gases from fermenting and
decaying food Such gases impregnate
the breath, filter through the system,
spread disease and in large quantities
extend the stomach so that 1t shuts off
heart action and death sometimes re-
suits.
Pure, simple willow charcoal absorbs
gas at once and stops impure food fer
mentation. It sweetens the stomach, kills
the effect of all odors such as liquor,
tobacco. onions, etc, or at least pre-
vents them from causing impurities to
arise.
The willow is renowned for its cura-
tive properties and ancient legendary lore
is filled with its use by barbarians and
civilized men. AS early as 500 B. G. the
ancient Chaldeans were sagely curing
disease by charcoal and every monastery
of the old world healed the sick and
cured the drunkard by using powdered
willow charcoal.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are pure
willow charcoal, compressed with honey
into a delicious lozenge. They contain
nothing but sweet willow charcoal and
honey. One may eat box of them and
feel only benefit from so doing. Two
or three after a meal will be a suffi-
cent guard against bad breath and the
same amount eaten just before bedtime
will insure a pure breath upon arising
the next morning.
Stuart's charcoal Lozenges tone up the
blood, the liver and the stomach. They
are great laxatives also, but eating large
numbers of them does not increase their
effect in a painful manner upon the
bowels.
They are gentle, powerful and pure and
their popularity and tremendous sale give
them the stamp of public approval. Go

Faux Wins Race.

Faux & Co., of Samson, have won
noteworthy case in the United States
court of appeals. They are held to be
fully solvent and it is also set out that
the action of the lower court in holding
them under a cloud as to solvency was
out of line with equity. Wilson & Mar
tin fought the case through the courts
and it has been there so long the costs
are very high
Certain Montgomery firms undertook to
have Faulk & Co. put into bankruptcy, al
leging indebtedness of $4,000. 1t was
shown that the assets were twice that
much However, a receiver was named
with bond of $1,000 Later the court dis
missed the receiver but required bond
of $4,000 from Faux e. Co. to make
creditors safe. Now the high court holds
that this was not right and that not only
was the refusal to dismiss the receiver
wrong, but the requiring of a bond on tt e
part of the merchants The cost. about
$4,000, will have to be borne by the men
who tried for the bankruptcy
