structed by the Atlanta Automobile
Association, a company incorporated
under the laws of Georgia, and
owned by many of the leading bus
mess men Of the Gate City. Not a
dollars worth of stock is either own
ed or controlled by anyone in any
way connected with the automobile
business. The object of its build
ers is to bring to the South the most
noted drivers in the world, and to
afford the people of this section an
opportunity of witnessing the most
marvellous speed contests the world
has ever known. This great Auto
drome covers an are of nearly 800
acres. The home stretch is 100
feet wide, and the curves and back
stretch are 60 feet wide. The grand
stand is 1900 feet long-over q
third of q mile-and will seat 80
600 people. The repair pits, where
all changes on racing cars are made,

the times for the various distances
will be lowered to such an extent
that it will be difficult for them to
be again broken, except upon the
great Atlanta speedway.
Many automobile clubs in the
South will send large delegations to
the great races to be held in Allan
ia on November 9th to 18th.

Hyomei is a wonderful antiseptic, so
powerful that it promptly destroys
germ life, yet it's action on the mucous
membrane is extremely soothing and
healing. 1t relieves catarrh in five
minutes; it cures in a few weeks or
money back.
1t is made chiefly of eucalyptus and
eucalyptol taken from the eucalyptus
forests of inland Australia. The med
ical profession knows that eucalyptus
is an absolutely certain germ destroy
er and with the active principles of GU
calyptus as a base Hyomei is made more
efficient, pleasant and quick-acting by
the addition of thymol, an a~ntiseptic
and ~disinfectant largely employed in
the Historian System. Guaiacol and
other important medicinal agents are
also included in the Hyomei formula,
which, without doubt, is the greatest
destroyer Of catarrh germs the world
has ever known.
Hyomei is a powerful, penetrating an
tiseptic that is pleasant to use. 1t does
not contain a particle of cocaine,
opium or and hahit-forming OF injurious
drug.
No dosing the stomach when you use
Hyomei. Just breathe it in through the
small inhaler that comes with each OUT
fit. Sold by leading druggists every

THE ST. LOUIS CENTENNIAL ASSOClA.
TON.

IT a thousand or so American
mayors do not have in their posses
sion by October 9th, the latest and
best ideas on how to run cities, it
will not be the fault of the st. Louis
Centennial Association and the
Civic League of st. Louis. The
former has arranged to bring to-
gether and entertain at least this
number of chief executives of mum
icipalities of the United States
during the week that the one hum
dreth anniversary of the incor-
poration of st. Louis well will be
celebrated, beginning October Sd,
and the latter has seized upon the
opportunity afforded to have the
visitors join in a great conference or
series OF conferences on problems Of
city government.
Three thousand invitations are
being sent out for this feature of
the Centennial celebration, and
although it is feared that not more
than n mayor in three, whose
is requested, will be able to accept,
the gathering, nevertheless, will be
the most notable of its kind ever
held.
Fully approaching the honor
which will be conferred upon St.
Louis by this assemblage, the Cen
tennial Association and its cowork-
ers are making every effort to plo-
vide appropriate entertainment.
The week will be a busy one for
the mayors and those that accompa-
ny them, from the date of their ar
rival, Monday, October 4th, until
their departure six days later. For
them it will begin with a reception
and a luncheon the first day and
will include a banquet, attendance
at the Yelled Prophet ball and facil,
tiles to see all the chief events of the
celebration. Among these will be
grand pageants daily, the great bal
loon, airship and aeroplane races.
The reception Monday will be
held at City Hall by Mayor Freder-
lex H. Kreisman, who is president
of the Centennial Association. I'm
mediately following, a luncheon will
be given at Hotel Jefferson Hotel by
the Civic League.
After the luncheon an important
conference will be held at which the
principal topic of discussion will be
commission form of municipal gov
ernment." The adyisability of fur
Their formal conferences is under
consideration by the officers of the
League.
The Yelled Prophet ball will be
held this year in the new Coliseum,
Tuesday evening.
The Business Mems League will
be host Wednesday evening at the
Coliseum at what will be known as
the American Mayors banquet.
Many other elaborate events of a
public nature and free to all will fill
out the week,

THE next CENSUS AND RfPRtSFN-
TALON.

A~AAIoCCIeu oCuoOO VI UpuIotIOu VI
the United States is soon to be TAX
brings up some very important
questions that particularly concern
the. Southern States.
Representation in the lower house
of Congress is based on population.
In the twelfth which the census of
1900 on account of the increase in
population, the following states
were entitled to and received ad-
ditional representatives as follows:
Arkansas, California, Colorado,
Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Louis
lana, Massachusetts, Mississippi,
Missouri, North Carolina, North Da-
kota, Washington, West Virginia
and Wisconsin, one each.
Minnesota, New Jersey and Penn
sylvania, two each.
New York and Texas, three each.
From this it is seen that of the
Southern States Arkansas, Florida,
Louisiana, Mississippi and North
Carolina gained each one congress
man, while Texas got three, making
eight in all. In New England, Con-
necticut and Massachusetts, gained
one each, two in all. OF what are
called the Northern States New Jer-
sey and Pennsylvania added two
each and New York three, making
seven.
New England and the states of
New York, New Jersey and Penn
sylvania make up that part of the
country that stands for high protec-
ton. Those states, through their
increased population, will be en-
titled to more congressman, while
the balance of New England and
the Middle States are not likely to
gain any increase. The States west
of the Mississippi and the Southern
States on the Gulf of Mexico will
doubtless have made gains, and the
West and the South are antagonis-
tic to the high protection of the
East.
If it should SO happen that a COM
bination of the West and south, I'M
der the new census would be able
to outvote the protection interests,
before the apportionment is made it
may be determined to kill off the
South by cutting down its represen-
tation to a basis of its white vote.
This has been threatened many
times, but it never was necessary in
order to maintain the supremacy of
the Republican party. Now that
the Republicans Of the West are
making war on their Eastern pro-
t~ectionist brethren it may be con-
sidered necessary to deal the South
the solar plexus blow that has been
so long threatened by its sectional
foes.
President Taft has been trying to
win the South over to his party, and
is said to indulge strong hopes of
it. 1t may be possible that a heavy
reduction of the South representa-
ton in Congress may be in his pro-
gramme. If so the white people of
the South should never surrender
to such coercion. Let the North
take the negroes and make the most
of them. Their departure will open
the way for a vast influx of white
population. The negroes in the
South are on precisely the same
constitutional basis as to suffrage as
are the whites. That is all that can
in Justice be asked.-New Orleans

Pena of the girls arrest as he was soon found in Main street and brought to the police station. The Providence police were informed of the arrest of the couple, but whether the authorities here win give trem up as yet is not known. owing to other features con- nected with the case.
 After the arrest it was learned that the couple had been married. They stated that they came from Providence to Allyn's Point on Tuesday of last week, and on the following day were married by Rev. W. H. Mclean of this city. pastor of Grace Memorial Baptist church. The girl is a bright and attrac- tive girl of the Portuguese type, but is not large for her age and would hardly be taken for one older than IS. It is in connection with DePena's marriage to the child that the local authorities are detaining the parties beyond what the Providence police want them for. Upon being informed that both were locked up the Providence authorities were much pleased and were anxious that the girl should be held, as her parents were desirous for her return.

It was said that in three weeks the company will have the pile drivers off the joi, and all packed on cars ready for a long journey south, where a big contract is waiting for them.
