HIT THE SPOT
Postum Knocked Out ooree Alls.

There's good deal of satisfaction and comfort in hitting upon the right thing to rid one of the varied and con- stant ailments caused by coffee drink ing.
 Ever since I can remember" writes an Ind. woman. "my father has been a lover of his coffee, but the continued use of 1t so affected his stomach that he could scarcely eat at times.
 Mother had coffee-headaches and dizziness. and if I drank coffee for breakfast would taste 1t all day and usually go to bed with a headache
 ''ope day father brought home Q pkg. of Postum recommended by our gro- cer. Mother made it according to di- rections on the box and it just hit the spot It has a dark seal-brown color, changing to golden brown when cream Is added, and a snappy taste similar found that its continued use speedily put an end to all our coffee ills.
 That was at least ten years ago and Postum has, from that day to this, been a standing~order of fathers gro cery bill.
 s'when I married. my husband was a great coffee drinker. although he ad- mitted that 1t hurt him. When men tioned Postum he said he did not like the taste of 1t. I told him I could make it taste all right. He smiled and said, try It. The result was a suc- cess, he won't have anything but Pos tum There's a Reason"

TESTS SCHOOL LAWS
CAN AN INCIDENTAL FEE BE CHAHGED.
Important Proceedings Bearing on State School Laws, is Started in the City Court of
 AnnistOn.

Anniston. Feb. 24.-(Special.) )-Be- cause four of his children were ex- pelled from a county school as re- suit of his refusal to pay small in- cidental assessment. levied by the trus- tees. w. P. Bryant of this county has brought suit against the trustees for 1000. or $5.000 for each child. s
 The father claims that the assess ment Is without warrant of law and is illegal. If 1t is legal debt. he says he is able and willing to pay 1t. but since the State of Alabama has furS nished the school building and teach- CT. the question Is, have the trustees a right to deprive the children of a chance to obtain an education because the father fails to pay his debts.
 The cases will be watched with fn- terest, as it is expected that in many parts of the county children have been turned away from the public schools because their parents failed or refused to pay an incidental fee, such fee, if legal at all, is the debt of the par ent, 1t is Isaid, and not the debt of the child, and 1t is claimed that 1t is un- just to deprive child of the privileges of free school education in Che public schools for no. cause for which the child is responsible.

CONDITIONS IN LIBERIA.
- State Department Received an Opti- mistic Letters.


 Washington. Feb 24.-From a cor respondent in Monrovia. Liberia, the State Department has received a. let ter which says that the writer has found general conditions much better than they had been reported to him, all along the course of an African trip of six months.
 The letter says:
 Everything is reminiscent of home. the flags on the houses. the names of the streets. Every college in the coun- try Is founded on American benevo- lence. All its institutions are unique in Africa. '
 Yesterday I wandered through the old cemetery and on nearly every tomb stone I read Virginia South Carolina, and so on. The future of the country Is secure if the Liberians could only have the assurance that the integrity and independence of Liberia ills secure. There will be no difficulty about reforms if the threats of parti- tion could be offset by one little assur- ance that the mother country would see them through as in the case of Cuba"

 what 1t is. but we ob1ct to it any how"
 "I never saw 1t before." said the wit ness.
 This editorial urged Colonel Cooper's appointment as State Auditor If the place were created. Likewise, 1t urged the creation of the office.
 That editorial was published with out my knowledge or consent"
 It was ruled out.
 The witness was asked if he put any money in The Lancet. weekly paper, He said he had not. but was an ad- visor of 1t.
 Then he was called upon to say If he knew of an editorial denouncing Governor Cox most bitterly during the Patterson-Cox campaign four years ago.
 The defense objected.
 The State claims that the editorial in The Tennesseean charging that Colonel Cooper had made peace be- tween Cox and Patterson, which made Colonel Cooper so angry and started the trouble. was based on the editorial in The Lancet. Cooper's own paper. or one in which the defendant had an interest, over which he exercised some control.
 The defense holds that whether or not The Tennesseean editorials were justifable or not is not an issue. It Is merely what effect did 1t have on Colonel Cooper's mind"
 A sharp argument followed and the court ruled out the editorial because 1t mentioned the names neither of the de- ceased nor the defendant
 The State begged for a chance for more argument and the jury was sent out Counsel on both sides talk ed earnestly until the shadows grew long and the court tired. The gavel fell and the judge briefly announced that he saw no reason to change his ruling excluding the editorial from the jury. The State made another effort to change the ruling, but without avail, but induced the judge to reserve his decision until tomorrow.
 The attorneys for both sides seem- ed angry and Judge Hart said:
 T will adjourn court now and if you want to fight you can go out and fight all you want to.
 Thereafter, too. when a counsel makes an objection 1t must be made by one lawyer Here we have spent OUT time listening to speeches, and 1t must stop
 If you will force the State to com ply with that order. we win do so." said Judge Anderson.
 "An right. remarked the court"
 I'm going to force you all to do it. I like oratory, but I'm getting surfeit- ed"
 Court then adjourned until a. m, ltomorrow.
