gated the property some weeks ago and appraised the damage at $35,O00.
 This proposition was rejected by the attorneys for the property owners, who claimed the property had been damaged to the abount of s150.0O0. As there are about 1000 front feet of property in- volved the contention is made that the damage to the property is s15O per front foot. This the representatives of the corporations claim is excessive and have asked for a moderation of the claim. No definite action was taken yes terday afternoon and the conference ad- journed until o'clock today, when It Is understood new propositions and counter propositions will be presented.
 Those at the conference yesterday were Commissioners George B. Ward. A. O. Lane, James Weatherly and NJ NJ. ullman for the city, W. l.. Mapother vice president and T. E.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

man method; nothing more considerate than the British.
 Germany is of course entitled to buy anything she peases in this country. She also has the right to get her goods into Germany if she can, but 1t Is difficult to see anything but onesided proposition in situation that allows her to keep her fleet safely hidden away when it's proper function is in keeping the seas clear for her commerce, and at the same time makes cat's-paw of the United States government to force the power that has gained control of the seas to allow her to carry on her commerce as usual. The German propaganda has failed miserably in other parts of the United States. and it would indeed be a victory for the Germans should they succeed with their cotton agitation in causing bitterness between this the purest An- glo-Saxon part of the country and Eng land, their best customer Yours truly.

Takes Bill Vines Seriously
e Editor of The Age-Herald.

To the Edltor or The Age-Herald.
 Space Is asked in which to reply to a misrepresentation of the teachings of Christian Science made by Bill Vines" in an article entitled Modern Doctors" in the Sunday issue of your esteemed paper.
 It Is mystery to know why the gen tleman should mention Christian Science in an article about modern doctors and their methods. Christian Scientists are engaged in ministry which includes the healing of the sick and sinful and making this a better and happier world to live in. Neither the courts nor the lawmakers of our land construa this as being the practice of medicine, therefore Christian Scientists could not be classed as modern doctors.
 The gentleman says the Christian Scientist believes that taking mediciiits is worse than foolshness. They do not deny the right of any person to take medicine If he so desires, nor do they think 1t foolish to do so under such circumstances, but one who has becu taught the true understanding of God and of mans relation to Him, does not need medicine or exercise to keep we'll nor has he any desire for such thnga Paul says in Acts TIPS; For in stIfm Gin God) we live, and move, and. have our beingL-."
 The critic further states that the Christian Scientists confine themselves entirely to the imagination and thor he illustrates his point. A citizen who Is thrown high In the air by coming in contact with an automobile falls vio-. lently to the pavement and Is all bruised and broken. but he gets up and says there is nothing the matter. 1t was all imagination. Paul healed the man who fell down from the third loft and was taken up dead. Numbers cf instances are on record where Chris tan Science has healed severe accidents but let us see whether imagination en- ters into the process or not.
 Mrs. Eddy, the discoverer and found CT of Christian Science, says in hcr book, Science and Health With Key to the Scriptures" page 460. Sickness Is neither imagination nor unreal--that fs to the frightened. false sense of the patient. Sickness Is more than fancy; 1t is solid conviction. It Is therefore to be dealt with through right apprehensirn of the truth of being" The same teach ing would also apply to accidents.
 If the gentleman were to study Chris tian Science for the purpose of learning the truth about it's preeepts he would soon realize that neither maginations nor congregations come within the scope of its teachings. Yours Sincerely,
 CHARLES r. WILLIAMS.

 The roads so far participating in the rate war are the Southern, the Seaboard, the Central of Georgia and the Louisville and Nashville. Exceptionally low rates are being quoted for ten-day trips to the coaM resorts, the tickets on sale certain daya only and with the To-day limit

hairs are the pesky little blackheads

Get from your druggist about two

the skin soft and velvety. can be
made by dlssolving one ounce Of
powdered zlntone in pint Of hot
water. This should be applied freely
at night before retiring. after washing
well with plenty Of soap and hot water
and splash Of cold water. Try it for

tackled Hall without provocation. Ken
dali, however tells quite q different
story. He admitted to a newspaper
reporter this afternoon that he struck
Hall. He did so, he said, because. he
thought Hall was armed and was
coming to attack him. This attack
was caused by Kendall cleaning out a
ditch in the road he said Hall had
filled by blowing earth into and
damming up surface water that made
it hard for the Kendall children to
cross to get to school.
Mrs. Hall said for her husband that
he plowed the earth into the ditch in
the road so the postman could get up
close to the box.

Kendall's property toward Halls prop
