Auto Truck every individual
truck operates un-
der different circumstances, performs

have done, however. show that good

than ordinarily would be expected.
The Packard motor car company of De-
troit, Mich. uses it's own three-tOn
truck exclusively in its local hauling.
The Packard company's No. truck was
put into service in 1907. 1t has been
actually in service 522 days. during
which it has covered 16,4S9 miles. Its
principal work has been in hauling ex-
press and freight between the Packard
factory and the different railway
freight depots. The truck, in the time
it has been in use, has made 1.373
trips and has hauled 7,S33.022 pounds Of
freight, or. approximately. 1000 tons.
Its haulage per day has been 15,006
pounds and its average haulage per
trip sos pounds. The gasoline con-
sumed in these 522 days of work has
been 3,54S gallons, or an average of AGA
miles per gallon. The truck has just
been put into the shop for repainting
and overhauling, and as soon as this is
accomplished will be placed again in
the regular service.

 Regarding Mir. Tafts visit to Birm- ingham, John W. Tomlinson. member of the Democratic National Committee, regretting the fact that on account of business engagements it was abso- lutely impossible for him to accompany the committee of invitation which went to Augusta. said that as a citi- zen. of Birmingham he would take great pleasure in joining in a most cordial welcome to Mir. Taft as one of the great men of the nation. as Re- publicans joined with Democrats in welcoming Mir. Bryan during his visits 10 Birmingham. But" continued Mir. Tomlinson. "I am not prepared to make a surrender of my Democratic princi- ples. nor am I prepared to go to the extent of sa ying that Republican rule would specially benefit the South or any portion of the Union more than a Democratic administration of our Fed eral affairs. I do not understand that any of my Democratic friends who went to Augusta intended to go to this extreme Of course we all ap- plaud the stand for ones convictions. When a man cannot longer stand with the Democratic party on principles, then he should join outright the Re- publican party, or at least should not undertake to participate in the coun- cils of the Democratic panty or attempt to control its nominations. I further believe in a national as we'll as a state Democrat, and do not subscribe to the idea of being locally Democrat and nationally a Republican.

MATRIMONIAL ENTANGLEMnNr.
Two Men Claim To Be Husband Q
 same Woman.

Two Men Claim To Be Huskand of
 same Woman.
 Birmingham. Jan. S-(Speciai)- --- With the country full of women" de- clared Judge Samuel L. Weaver in the criminal court Friday morning. eI can't understand why two men should make such fight over one, unless they both feel that they have met their affinity. And I am quite sure that both of these men felt that way about it. So the best thing to be done is to Ket out an injunction against the woman marrying again until this en- tangiement Is unraveled."
 After adding to this at length Judge Weaver imposed fine of S1O0von A.. c. Foy, man charged with living with a woman said to have been married to Q. P. Davis The woman herself was present Tn court as q prisoner, be- ing arrested with Foy at Vivian res gently. Foy prod uced marriage cer- tificate showing that he and, the woman had been legally married in Pennsylvania something over year ago. But the undoinR of Foy came when Davis the first husband, was placed on the stand. He declared that he married the woman in Pennsyivania and left her there until he could make arrangements to take her to Denver. when ne returned ne said she had married Toy and that he had FNoy arr rested in Pennsylvania. It seems that after the trouble there, Foy and the woman came to Birmingham and Davis came here recently to work on the couple arrested
 |. After Foy had been fined SfO0 and took his seat on the prisoners bench beside the woman, whose case was also set for Friday. Deputy Sheriff Wade Allen stepped over and read him another warrant. charging him with changing his name for the purpose of defeating his creditors and for con. cealing his Identity. This warra nt was also sworn out by Davis, who was the star witness in the case against Foy.
 When the woman, whose name was on the blackboard as Mss. Violet I, Davis. leatned of Davis action, she declared that she would not live with Davis under any cireun5stances.
