DENIAL BY SMALL
North Carolina Congressman Hays He
Never Campaigned With lecturers.
(SY THE ASSOCIATED DRESS.)
WASHINGTON D. C„ Feb. 16.—
Denial was made in the house today
by Representative Small of North
Carolina that he had ever used expert
lecturers of the agricultural depart-
ment in his district for political cam-
paign purposes. ...
Mr. Small called attention to state-
ments made by Chief Engineer Wright
of the federal drainage service that
his report on the everglades investi-
gations had been delayed because he
been detained to lecture in Mr. Small s
district.
“It is strange indeed when a repre-
sentative cannot utilize one ot these
government departments for the bet-
terment of his people without the
charge that it is being done with ul-
terior purposes.

Believes This will “Cure
Lung Troubles"
consumption Is a flattering disease —that
la one of Its chief danger. Those who have
It are rarely willing to acknowledge the
tact.
If this trouble Is present It is no time
for trifling. Don't waste time In argument.
Jf a so-called "cold" has long persisted; If
a cough Is present that keeps you anxious
or any ot the symptoms are present such
as fever or night sweats weakness nnd loss
of appetite and perhaps some raising or
mucus —do the cenelble thing; take Eck-
mans Alterative as Mr. Bettersworth did.
Bowling Green Ky. R. No. 4.
"Gentlemen: I wish to say for your Alter-
ative that I believe it to be a medicine or
unequaled value for all Bronchial and Dung
trouble.
"The Spring of 1908 1 had a severe cough
tor six months. 1 tried all the medicine
that my friends and doctors recommended
to me but no results came for the better.
I had night sweats and would cough and
spit up every night until 1 got so weak 1
could hardly do anything. But at last
James Deering of Glasgow Junction in-
sisted that I try sour medicine which I or-
dered at once and began taking the same.
In ono week's time there was quite an im-
provement in my condition and after I had
taken several bottles I felt as well as ever in
my life. I never wrote any firm or company
a letter recommending their medicine be-
fore. as there are so many lakes that a
medicine of genuine quality don’t get credit
or even tried.
"I desire the world to know that I firm-
ly believe that your Eckman’s Alterative
will cure any case of lung trouble if taken
before the last stage. I will gladly write
personally to any party wanting Information
In regard to your wonderful medicine."
(Signed Affidavit)
A. C. BETTERSWORTH.

chitis. Asthma Hay Fever; Throat and Dung
Troubles and In upbuilding the system. Does

PRDSECUTION SCOBES
IN SNEED M.
ODJecilona by Defrn-r tn Admission of
ITwiUtgrapIta of Dead Body of
Buyer lit er ruled.
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREM.)
FORT WORTH. Tex. Feb. lie-The
prosecution scored heavily In tho be-
ginnlng of the Friday Hesston of the
Sneed trial when Judge Swayne after
hearing further arcumenla overruled
the tiet< need objections to the admis-
sion of the photographs of tho dead
body of CapL A. <1. Boyce.
Attorney Cone Johnson for the de-
fense opened the argument by declar-
ing that photographs were only ad-
missible when the facts sought to be
shown could not be shown by human
testimony and that only ouch photo-
grnyhs as were taken Immediately
could be introduced under any circum-
stances.
When the court indicated that the
location of the wounds could proper-
ly be shown by photographs Mr. John-
son said that In case the court admit-
ted the photos for . that purpose the
defense would ask that a strip of pa-
per be pasted over other portions in-
cluding the face.
Henry Boyce taking the etand for
the prosecution In the Sneed trial Fri-
day afternoon gave promise early in
his testimony that ho Would fulfill the
state’s claim that his evidence would
bo a frank admission on his part that
ho had done all in his power to aid his
brother Al G. Boyce Jr. in escaping
beyond federal and state jurisdiction
while fleeing with Mrs. Lena Sneed
but that his father Capt. A. G. Boyce
pad no part in any conspiracy.
Henry Boyce Is cashier of the Mid-
way Bank Ar Trust company of Dal-
hart and since his father's death the
principal stockholder in the institu-
tion.
He will be followed on tho stand by
Mrs. A. G. Boyce widow of the slain
man. and In her testimony heart inter-
est now centers since the defendant
has told his story. She will be fol-
lowed by her cousin and constant com-
panion Miss Mary Hamilton.
RAILROADS PLEAD
FOR FURTHER TIME
say Not Sufficient Notice Hart Been
Given for Bills of Lading
Hearing.
(RY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS)
WASHINGTON Feb. 16.—The cam-
paign for greater railroad liability as
to bills of lading especially on cot-
ton was renewed before the senate
committee on interstate commerce
todaj’ when a delegation represent-
ing the American Bankers’ association
and a large number of mercantile or-
ganizations in the east urged prompt
action.
Daniel Williston law professor at
Harvard university. speaking for
mnnj’ New York commercial organ-
izations contended that when a rail
road employed men to issue bills of
lading it should be compelled to stand
buck of these bills whether the em-
ployes Issued them rightly or wrong-
fully.
Harry* Dowie of New York for the
New York Poultry and Game associa-
tion declared millions of dollars had
been lost through abuses in bills of
lading.
Railroads in many cases he said
had issued bills of lading ahd accom-
panying drafts days before anything
was placed in the cars. In the end
the banks held $30000 to $40000
worth of these drafts for goods that
never were shipped.
General Counsel Thom for the
Southern railway speaking for many
affiliated lines pleaded lack of suffi-
cient notice as to the hearing and
asked two weeks more time to pre-
sent the railroad side of the case. The
committee took the matter under con-
.-■ideration. Chairman Clapp said there
was no disposition to be arbitrary but
a desire to dispose of the question as
quickly as possible.
Exchange to Move Offices.
It is understood that the Real Es-
tate exchange offices will be moved
to the Chamber of Commerce build-
ing on March 1. Tho civic organiza-
tions of the city were recently con-
solidated Into a general Chamber of
Commerce and it is desired that the
secretary’s offices be located in close
proximity so that work may be done
co-operatively and with greater ef-
fectiveness. The exchange offices will
be located on the second floor of the
building In the west half. Only/a short
time ago the floor was renovated and
remodeled.
