hayE YOU WEAK lUMGS? Do You Fear Consumption?

when we take into consideration the fact that one out of every seven in this climate die of consumption, is it any wonder that it is feared by the people Of Montgomery who have weak lungs and chronic colds and coughg7
 "A famous Lcndon physician has for years urged his patients, when the aligh test tendency to consumption ap- neared. to take all the cod liver oil possible into their systems, and physi- clans everywhere have recognized it's value for coughs, colds, bronchitis, consumption and all wasting diseases, but unfortunately, few could take 1t and derive the full benefit from it's use, on account of the indigestible grease which it contained.
 We want every person in Montgom- cry to know the value of our new cod liver preparation, Vinoi. It actually contains in a concentrated form all of &he medicinal Bodybuilding clements of pod-liver oil actually taken from fresh cods' livers, without drop of oil or grease to upset the stomach and retard its work.
 Therefore. wherever oId-fashsoned eodtliver oil or emulsions will do good, viAoI will do far more good. We guar antee VinoI will improve the appetite, strengthen digestion. make rich, red blood. create strength, cure chronic coughs and colds and strengthen weak lungs. ~s our customers, we return money with out atiestion.-E. c.

Pensacola, Fla. Jan. 19.--tSpeciaL)- The Louisville and Nashville Railroad has begun cutting down expenses and the new "economy' will cosk Pensacola S2, 900 per month or about SlO0 per day. orders have been issued from the gem eral oflce at Louisville, Ky, to cut down" operating expenses and 1t has meant the discharge of many employees. Heads of departments have been re- duced in position and salary and the workers have been discharged. Con ductors and enginemen have gone back 10 switching and switchmen and brake men have been hatly dismissed.
 Some of the freight trains on this branch of the L. & N. have been taken of, but the export business through Pensacola is still large enough to de- mand the retention of many trains.
 On the Pensacola and Atlantic divis- ion, where there is but little business at present. 1t is anticipated that all stations will be closed at night which will mean the discharge of night tele- graph operators and station men.
 The reason for this wholesale reduc- tion in forcea Is said to be the huge de- crease fin business the railroad has suf- fered during the past two mopths. Tn December 1t Is said that the earnings If the road decreased over half nil non and thus far the January earnings have shown DO improvement.

 GIL FILLED TONIGHT.
Practically Sure Aldermen Will Chose suecesser to Robert TaIt, Re- gently Made City Treasurer. Slough and Lowe Want.
 Place.

Far and away the most interesting thing the Council will have to do to- night when 1t meets at o'clock will he the election of an Alderman from Ward Five to succeed Robert Tait, re- eently made Treasurer of the city.
 Robert Lowe and pr. J. T. Slough are candidates for the position. It Is un- derstood that W. J. conniff, who as first was expected to stand for election to the vacant ofice. will not now be. q candidate. The election will be brief. but 1t is by no means a cut and dried thing for while tho members of the Council have probably already made up their minds over the matter, the ab- sence of several, perhaps of one of them, would easily affect the final re- suits.
 ii had been expected that the cleo tion of MT. Tate successor would be made at the meeting of the Council last Monday night when an adjourned ses- EIon was held, but after long consid- eration of many municipal matters he Aldermen adjourned without bringing the matter up.
 Tonight's session will probably be a long one, for there are many routine matters to have consideration.

 rho frank purpose Of the November legtslation was to keep the railroads out of the Federal Court. and to pre- vent them from obtaining any sort of an in5unction. The State. through it's atoEns9s, claims that this has been done.
 Acting under advice of the Governors lawyers, the Legislature passed bills wntch were drawn in the light of the decision Of the Supreme Court in the

Fitks asainst McGee case. The states attorneya are now engaged In dsfend- Eng fnsr doctrine in the Fsederai Court It ie frai kiy admitted that the State. without this decision would have noth- ing to stand upon.
 The State Is. therefore. contending tLar tbs present suits are suits against the State a thing forbidden by the con- stitution. Their defense ia that in the light of that decision, If any attempt Is made to prevent the enforcement of an act in which no State ofiicer is spe- ciaiIy charged with duty fs q suit against the state.
 On the other hand the railroad attor- neys come forward with half a dozen decisions sustaining the Fourteen.n Amendment. which declares that no State shall take the property of a citf- zen without due process of law. The railroad attorneys are saying:
 "The Supreme Cour has held again and again that a State can not put its hand in the pocket of citizen and 1t has teld, too. that the State cannot authorize anybody else to put his hand in the pocket of citizen, and that Is what the rate legislation does."
 Rely on Feurteenth Amendment.
 The attorneys for the road are rely ing on the strength of the Fourteenth Amendment, as 1t has been interpreted in various decisions of the Supreme Court to have the rate iegislation of the Alabama Legislature declared un- constitution. They are citing the we'll known case of Reagan against the Farmers Trust Company. In which the issuance of blanket injunction by a Federal Court. similar to the injunction issued sn Alabama, was sustained by the Supreme Court. and on the Smythe and Ames ease. In which an attorney general was prevented from enforcing rate laws which were declared by the roads to be confiscatory. The attorneys for the roads are leaning on the decis- ion In the case of Prout against Starr, in which the rights of property were defended under the Fourteenth Amend ment.
 The rate cases are attracting national attention. Other States are confronted by the same issue, and the whole coun- try is watching the controversy sn the Federal Court. No matter which side wins sn Montgomery. the cases will go to the Supreme Court of the United States.
