CAPITOL CITY MARBLE GO.
 DOING A BIG BUSINESS

The past two weeks has brought into Montgomery very satisfactory volume of out-of-town business in the marble and stone line.
 Ever since its organization, the Capital City Marble Company has been building up both local and foreign trade that has astonished not only their competitors, but their friends as well. Of course, this success Is due in a large measure to the energy and busi- ness ability of the managers, but that ability has been most thoroughly back ed up with the very best work, prompt fulfllment of all contracts, and req sonible prices. From point of equip ment, they easily rank among the best in the South, and by the thorough sat isfaction they have always given their customers, they are rapidly widening tn cir circle of operations until now there are few States In the South into which they do not ship some of their work almost weekly. Their general offices and works are located at 209 Dexter Avenue.--adv.

A SERIOUS RUNAWAY.
Three Members of Family Are Thrown
 Out Of Buggy.


 Troy, Feb. 27.-tSpecial)--Wh came near to being a very serious &C., cident, happened this morning to Will Clark, of Coffee county.
 MT. Clark with his wife and 2 five months old baby was driving a two- mule wagon on Brundidge street when the mules became frightened at a bicycle and ran away. throwing out MT. Clark and his wife and baby. Mrs. Clark was injured more than either MT. Clark or the baby. falling on her shoul- der which was badly bruised. It was thought at first that her collar bone was broken but the doctor says no bones are broken. Mrs. Clark and the baby were carried to the house of MT. Beeman, who lived near by, and will remain there until Mrs. Clark is suf ficiently recovered to make the trip home.
 Judge Edmondson has appointed w. W. Haralson special accountant to ex- anime the county books and he has been busy for several days going through the accounts of the different county officials.

the first camel as advanced by Profess sor Loomis, various scientists have ris- en up and asserted that the specimens which he held to be prehistoric camels were nothing more than prehistoric rabbits and antelopes. Back of them is the support of the laymen who arr gue that an animal that resembles a rabbit more than anything else was just as much a rabbit three million years ago as now, and that the ante- lope sized specimens were antelopes es- pecially in view of the fact that cameis never had any horns. So the question which promises to divide scientists in- to two camps still remains. When is a camel not a camel? The answer given by those who disagree with Professor Loomis is-when 1t is a rabbit or an antelope.

Define a Camel.

Anyone who can satisfactorily an swer the question as to when a camel Is not a camel wfll be conferring a boon on the scientists of this city who delight in the study of evolution. The question Is not a riddle, but a matter of violent debate. in no way related to the conundrum which inquires as to when a door is not door. The an- swer is not nearly so simple--in fact as yet no answer at all has been found, and its final achievement Is likely to result in all sorts of scientific recrim- nations. The whole matter takes its origin from a statement recently made by Professor Loomis before a scien- tific meeting at the Hotel Aster that the camel as we know 1t today Is of American and not Asiatic origin. He explained, as a result of his investiga- tions in the southwest. that the animal in question began it's existence in this country some three million years ago, as shown by fossil remains. In SUD- port of his argument he exhibited spec linens of the alleged camel varying from the size of a jack rabbit, and having four toes and no sign of hump up to larger specimens of a later. period with h orns resembling small antelopes more than anything else for America's claim to
