MAY ABOLISH ALL
 DRINKING CUPS

Jackson, Miss, June 3.-(Special Ut Is probable that at the meeting of the rail- road commission next Tuesday an order will be passed requiring all the railroads of the state to abolish drinking cups on passenger trains. sleepers, waiting rooms, etc.
 This question came up more than year ago, when the railroads were cited for conference with the commission and representatives of the state board of nearn. who are the prime nov did not enter any serious objection in fact, it was believed that the railroad men present were rather favorable to the order, but no action was ever taken.
 A few days since Secretary McLain of the board of health directed a note to the commission, asking what had been done in the premises, and insisting that action be taken.
 The commission in turn referred the matter to the attorney general Informa- ton and legal advice was wanted as to the powers and authority of the commis sion to pass such orders, and today the attorney general advises the commission that the board of health has the author ity to make such rules of sanitation, and that the commission may see that they are executed
 The drinking cup has already been abol- ished on Louisiana roads, and illinois Central finds its troublesome to run their trains with cups in Mississippi and take them up at the Louisiana line.

MOBILE CAMPAIGN
 ENDS IN A WHIRL
The Election on Commission Government Tomorrow to
 Be Warmly Contested

Mobile, June 3.-(Speoial) one of the most energetic campaigns in the history of the city, campaign In which undertaking and personalities played a prominent part, interspersed with pro fanity, islander and vituperation, especial ly on the part of the offioehoders organ ization, the commission government cam pagn in this city came to virtual close tonight, and the battling forces are rest ing upon their oars. the advocates of com mission government confident of victory and the defenders of aldermanic rule hop ing against hope that something will hap zen to turn She tide in their favor.
 Every device known to the professional politician has been brought into play and every argument that, by any stretch or the imagination could have the most re- mote bearing upon the issues at stake has been used over and over again at meetings that have been held during the week in every ward of the city by both factions.
 Commission government in Birmingham, Memphis and other cities has been dis cussed until the subject is threadbare, the prompt action of the Birmingham com missioners in looping off the heads of use less officeholders being given especial at tention,. while moving pictures, Sunday baseball, the prohibition question, taxes and licenses all came in for Soodly share of the vaporngs of spellbnders. And the fact that the capital city has adopted the commission form of govern ment was not forgotten, the discussion covering every possible argument that could be made for or against the sys- tenn.
 The election, which will be held on Mon- day, promises to be one of the most warmly contested in the history of the city. and every effort will be made by both sides to get every vote out. Elabo- rate preparations have been made to pre- vent fraudulent voting, and although charges have been already made that the polling lists teem with the names of dead men, it is hardly believed that an attempt will be made to cast vote for any of the departed ones
 Interest in the election is intense. and for the past week it has been the one subject of conversation, other matters fading into insignificance beside 1t. And tonight both sides are on the qui vive watching with every sense for possible ninth-hour attempts that may have a bearing upon the result of Mondays con test.

 During the year 737 students have matri- culated at Auburn.

WHY NOT GE|GER
 FOR TAFT'S H0ME7
Eloquence in Alabama's Bid for the Nations Sum-
 mer Capital " si
By l.. R. HILL

Geiger, June s-(Special.) l.)-Just to prove that there Is nothing slow or short about this city of predominating growth, in the heart of Alabama's richest farming sec ton. the promoters have followed the lead of other famous resorts of the coun- try and offered to President Wlliam-H Taft a summer White House in this land of plenty and contentment. T
 There is nothing presumptious In this offer to a great nation, a summer home for its President in Alabama or at Geiger, for the one or the other is just as great in It's own glories as historical Look out mountain or a mosquito feeding gar den along the shores of New Jersey. All the requisites of nature for the happy, comfortable home of our chief executive during the trying days of summer are just as prominent as in any other section of these states. ~
 At any rate, Geiger has made the offer, and if accepted is prepared to "come across" and that's the best of it. It is no idle joke for the sake of mere pub Jicity, for who has not already heard of Geiger9 A town that can spend $5o,0oo in cool cash to tell the world of its exis- tence. put up s1o.ooo and give five acres of land to tn state for county high school would stop at nothing short of a sev- eral hundred thousand to have the Pres ident of the United States as a summer guest.
 So we have forwarded to the jovial Will liam our offer, which includes, besides the summer White House, golf links, free pass to the race track, ball park and all clubs. The site selected for the build ings is one of the most beautiful in sunny Alabama, overlooking one or the grand est areas of alfalfa, cotton and corn in the world. which could be seen for miles from an observatory tower. It Is agreed that all pavements about the mansion shall be padded and kept free from dust; a covered driveway and walk will be ex- tended to the passenger station of the Alabama, Tennessee and Northern rail- road for the convenience of the Presi-. dent and his summer guests m racr, Geiger is prepared. to outdo the nation in this matter, and Is calmly waiting to re- ceive the acceptance of their offer.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win the
PEOPLES Confidence.

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised all at once drop out
Of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system, the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
cured to those who are in need of it.
In an interview on the subject prom
inent local druggist says, Take for ex-
ample, DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for
in almost every case It shows immediate
results, as many of my customers tes-
tify. No other kidney remedy that
know of has 50 large a sale"
The success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is due to the fact that it fulflls
every wish in overcoming kidney, liver
and bladder diseases, COrreCts urinary
troubles, and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
A free trial bottle will be sent by
mail, absolutely free. Address DR.. Kill
mer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y, and
mention this paper. Regular size bot
ties sold at all druggists-50c. and H.OO.
