MR.. BROWN REDUCED COTTON
FREIGHT RATES.


Mr.. ]. L. Dickey, who was associated
with Joe Brown for twenty-five years
in railroad work, in q recent article
says:
81 will add here that Mr.. Brown
while traffic manager, had the cotton
rates reduced from all stations on the
Western Il Atlantic railroad to the
South Atlantic ports to the same figures
as applied from Atlanta, thus saving to
the farmers along this road between
the Chattahoochee river and the Ten
nessee line 70 cents per bale on an av.
erage crop of $1,000 bales, or $37 800
annually.
He also had the coal rates reduced to
all stations on the Western & Atlantic
railroad 80 cents per ton, increasing
the volume Of coal shipments and aid
ing in the preservation OF the forests
along the line, that the timber might
go into various useful articles rather
than 60 into CRATES and furnaces"
This should be appreciated by the
farmers who raise cotton, and the man
ufacturers and town people who use
coal.

NOT CONVERTED.

DR.. Landrum, the eminent Baptist
divine of Atlanta, read: Governor
Smith has never said that he was con-
verted to the principle of State prohi-
bition as against local option prohibi-
ton. He will not say so. Why? Be-
cause he is not converted. The Atlanta
Journal has not been converted, either
Mr., Reuben Arnold, the Hoke Smith
orator, has not been converted. Mr.
Robert Griffin, the chairman of the
Hoke Smith Fulton county club, has
not been converted. Mr.. Thos. Fielder
the Senate anti-prohibition filibuster
the Hoke Smith leader in Bibb county
has not been converted"
Joe Brown doesn't have to be oon-
verified. He has been prohibitionist
for twenty years.

CHAMPION PROHIBITIONIST.
(Tom Watson in Jeilersonian

Yum Ndbsoh III JeuSLsoulhH.k
Here's recipe for becoming cham
pion prohibitIonlst:
Cd Hang on to your interest in a
profitable bar-room until it is shut up
by law which you opposed
(2) Flop to prohibition, when you
see that the prohibition bill has alread Y
secured sufficient number of votes to
override gubernatorial veto;
90 Write dispatch for the Associa-
ted Press which, after all the erasures,
interlineations and loop-holes are elm
mated, favors a law which would per-
NIT the use of light wines and beer
as food
az Loudly declare that unless you
are kept in office, the prohibition law
which was passed in spite of you, will
in some mysterious manner be scooped,
swiped, eloigned, subjugated, disem-
boweled, smothered, strangled, par
boiled and otherwise scandalously NAL
treated
(5) Shout this loudly, from Haber-
sham to Glynn, until the welkin rings,
the tea-cuTs dance on the table, the
dogs bark as they run under the house,
the children fall off the fence as the
excitement tears along the road and,
the first thing you know, you will be
the champion prohibitionist, while such
lifelong heroes Of the cause as Hughes
Edenfield, Cofer, Sibley, Poole, Jones
Hill, Wright, Gambler. and dozens OF
old vets Of the cause, will either be for.
gotten or will look like slick dimes.

"To Them That Hath"

A SHORT SERMON TO FAT FOLKS.
 "To them that hath shall be given is a sentence that applies to fat peo- pie very neatly. It Is common knowl- edge that once a human being begins to fatten up. to what they have already Is added more than they want until finally q stage Is reached where reduc- tion must be made or decided disad- vantage results.
 Then comes forward the ages-oid query. "Reduce--but how2" To the un- informed nothing suggests itself but the (to them) twin evils--less eating-- more activity. They contemplate a more or Jess lengthy siege of dieting and exercising. So it may be said safely that every man or woman in the land now undergoing the fatten- ing-up process has his or her mental eye fixed dubiously on that not far dis- tant day when he or she will have to don the "ashes and sackcloth of reduc- tiOn."
 This is not an eniivening prospect. and go 1t ts with considerable satisfac ton that we announce the emancfpa- tion of the fat. Nowadays one may re- iduce much or little. a pound a day If desired, or hold their fat in check, ao. ssolutely stationary, without doing a tap of exercise. missing a single meal, doing a particle of harm or causing @ solitary wrinkle. All that's required as hundreds testify, Is the taking after meals and at bedtime of one Marmola Prescription Tablet, which tablets are sold by the Marmola Company. Detroit Mich. or any good druggist at the uni form price of 75 cents. this sum being accepted for a case of tablets so well and generously filled that even one produces desirable results

AIRs ANNA,s. AFFAIRs
Eaerts of RonI CastaIIane to Secure 5f His Children.

EHerts of Roni Castnllane to secure His Children.
 Paris, Nov. 1S.--The hearing of the suit brought by Count Boni de Castel- lane against Princess Helie de Sagan for the custody of his three chliareh was today postponed until Nov. 25.
 This action was taken at the request Of Albert Clemenceau counsel for the Princess who announced that he had just entered the case and that It was Ss5nsequently Impossible for him to proceed Immediately.
 Princess de Sagan was Miss Anna Gould of New York, before she mar ried the Count de CastelIane. She se- cured a divorce from him, after which she married Prince Helie de Sagan.
 M Bonset, Count de Castellane'g laWyer, did not oppose the request or M. Clemenceau for postponemepL but he formally petitioned the court 70 place the children in the care of Mar uuise de Castelane, mother of Count Boni, pending a settlement of the case, on the ground that they were uncom- fortable and i'll in the house of their mother, the Princess, and because IL was desirable that they should escape the atmosphere, unhealthful both morally and physically. which he al- legged pervaded the home .of the mother.
 The court ruled that 1t could not pass upon this question today, and the en- tire matter went over for one week.
 Count de Castellane was present in court and listened attentively as M. Bonnet set forth that. the Count was unable to see his children on account of their illness and that the doctor had been forbiddep to send him any news of them.
 ''The children have need of that calm and peace which they will find in the home of their grandmother" M. Bonnet declared. He then said that he had agreed to numerous postponements al- ready because he understood that the Princess had decided to seek a separa- tion from her husband, but inasmuch as the Princess had denied this report, he could see no reason why the suit should not proceed. In spite of his ar guments, the court granted the post uonerl1ent. =5s

 pr. Walker elaborated on a series of sixty experiments upon various ami malls, feeding or injecting the parasitic germs obtained from earthworms into guinea pigs, mice and dogs, was fol- lowed in many cases by the develop ment of tumors or cancers and in al- most every case infection was fatal to the animals.
