Mr. A. H. Fromenson will deliver his last lecture on Zionism, the great movement or ganized by Herzl some twelve years ago. The meeting promises to be a great success, as Mr. Fromensan's lec tures in Montgomery delivered during last week were discussed by many Montgomerlans who formerly thought the movement nothing more than a splendid dream. Mr. Fromenson is a splendid speaker, of magnetic personality, and his dis cussions have been in the past clear cut and logical. „ An entirely new phase of the subject will be discussed at the Temple tonight, to which the public is cordially invited.* > - . f < , ; You Are Invited to Visit This Place. r -rxzT Thu is a view of the laboratory in Lynn, Mass., in which.

There is a sign 5 feet long and feet wide attached, permanently, to the front of the main building which reads as follows : 1 Public inspection invited —from 8 A.M. to 4 P.M. —Lydia E. Ptnkham Medicine Co. What does this sign mean t It means that public inspection of the laboratory and methods of doing business is honestly desired. It means that there is nothing about the Finkham business which is not “ open and above-board.” It means-that a permanent invitation is extended to anyone to - come and verify the statements made in the advertisements of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Is Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound made exclusively from roots and herbs ? Come and Sec for Yourself. Do the women of America continually use as much of it as we are told ? Come and See for Yourself. Was there ever such a person as Lydia E. Pinkham, and is there any Mrs. Pinkham now to whom sick women are asked to write ? Come and See for Yourself. > Is the vast private correspondence with sick women conducted by women only, and are the letters kept sjjictly confidential ? Come and See for Yourself. Have they really got letters from more than a million women ? Come and See for Yourself. Have they proof that Lydia E. Pintfham's Vegetable Compound has cured thousands of these women i Come and See for Yourself. _ • ' This advertisement is only for doubters. The great army of women who knew from their own personal experience that no medicine in the world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com Eound for female ills will still go on using and being benefited by it; ut the poor doubting, suffering woman must, for her own sake, be taught confidence for she also might just as well regain bar health. i ALEXANDER NOT GUILTY _ / Quick Verdict Rendered . by Jury* FIRST 'PROSECUTION HERE It Was Alleged That Whiskey Had ' Been tald.

Me told that he called for whiskey, And that It was given to him without demur. His testimony as to the iden tity of the person who waited on him was not clear, as he could not remem ber the person. He -also said that he did not know Alexander by siglM Upon cross examination of Tnweatt, the defense asked questl'dns tending fo show that he bought the whiskey with a purpose of making evidence, and that he was acting for some one else. The mate objected to most of the ex amination along this line, and the ob jections to a large extent were sus tained. though the defense, in argu ment upon the objection stated frank ly that (t was Its purpose to show, if possible, that Thweatt was Influenced in his purchase by other parties. The bottle of whiskey whioh was al leged to have beeh bought was Intro duced In the court a^ evidence, with Its seal unbroken, and with the name of ’ the purchaser written across the seat Alexander testified that he had never had, to his knowledge, any intoxicat ing liquor for sale In his soft-drink establishment since January 1.

Beasley, who accompanied Thweatt ugOn the night of the alleg ed pufctfhse, was Introduced, but his testimony was altogether Insignificant, aa he told ‘that he had stepped out of the shop while the purchase was made. The ease of .Alexander attracted much interest In the city, and the courtroom was well filled. The rase was called during the morning, when a jury was empannelled. Six of the regular jury were challenged, E. S. Oppenhelm and E. F. Taylor>by the Btate, and Oeorge Barnes, W. D Sayre, B. E. Branch and R. P. Stout by ths defense. A. J.

Birmingham, March 2—(Special.)— There seems every chance that viola tors of the prohibition taw In Jefferson County during 1*08, will go free of all charges. Following a decision of the Alabama Supreme Court that the warrant of ar rest must affirmatively state the date of the offense, demurrers to warrants under which- practically all of the ar rests were made, are being sustained In every Instance. The Supreme Court decision In the Julian Marx case. In »ther words, promises td> clear eveiy prohibition violator In Birmingham arrested wdth In.a year of the time the law went Into effect. y . ' The usual warrant read* that such an offense was committed "within twelve months.” Defendants claimed that they might have sold whiskey "within twelve months” and still not be liable to punishment, as before Jan uary 1.- ldto. of course there was no ^Tw In this county against such sale. Only those arrested after January J, 11109. are unable to make this point. Thirteen cases of this Aaracter went off the docket In the Criminal Court today, Judge Fort presiding. Five went off Monday. Now every other man under bond or In Jail charged with violation has been infofmed of the loop-hole ajtd It Is practically certain that hundreds will glide through. Other warrants may he Issued but this would Involve "sec ond Jotgtrdy,” and the like, leading to numengs tangles. Judge Fort held another law invalid today when a case concerning the carrying of a jtlstol less than twenty four Inches In length came before him. His uttentlon was directed to the de cision of the Supreme Court on this matter, and he at once decided that the prisoner could not be held. This Is taken to mean that the pistol law Is also In the rubbage heap Hereafter offenses of thls'liature will be treated under the old statute of carrying concealed weapons.
