In the event that they cannot pro

probable that the anti-annexatiorists ;
will ignore tho proposed election.
However, there will probably be an
appeal to the courts. This was vir
tually decided upon at a meeting of
the citizens of the proposed new ter-
ritory held at the office of Attorney
James A. Smiser this morning. There
were a number of lawyers present
and it is said that the opinion was
expressed that an injunction would
lie against the election or primary.

his errand might be connected with
the convening of a special grand jury
to consider the case.
When Mrs. Eaton, who is a stout
woman, 45 years of age, entered the
jail here she was dressed in a black
suit she wore at her husband's fu
neral. A mourning veil partially hid
her face. She had been weeping, but
generally maintained the composure
that has characterized her bearing
from the first.
Admiral Eaton died in his bed at
the home at Norwell where he lived
with his wife, her mother, Mrs. Geo.
Harrison, and his step-daughter, Dor
othy Ainsworth. The death was un
expected and due, other members of
the family said, to an attack of indi
gestion which followed a too hearty
meal of roast pork.
Circumstances led to an investiga

District Attorney Barker today, evi

SEVERAL YEARS.
In speaking of his assistants in the
office retiring Comptroller Frank Dib
rell said of Wiley Embry:
"My warrant and criminal cost
clerk, W. B. Eii-bry, has made a ntudy
of this part of the office and has
thoroughly familiarized himself with
every detail of it, and the splendid
manner in which he has audited the
various bills of cost has saved the
state many thousands of dollars. He
has never blue-penciled a cost item
since he has been performing this
duty that he could not cite his au
thority under the law. If there is an

Don't Suffer!
"I had been troubled, t little, for nearly 7 yean," write
Mrs, L Fincher, la a letter from Peavy, Ala., "but I was
not taken down, until March, when I went to bed and had

better. I hurt all over, and I could not rest At last, I tried

holding said election has been ap
pointed as follows:
Court house box Judges, W. P.
Woldride, m. Barker, J. T. Mc-

Depot box- Judges, Otey Thomas,

R. O. Dyer and J. M. BateB; receiver,
John Lock ridge; marshal, M. M
Butts.
The polls are to be opened at 9
o'clock and closed at 4 o'clock, and
the judges wil'. be instructed as to
who will be entitled to vote and un
der what conditions. It is already
evident that practically every man
affected who is opposed to the exten
sion will be at the polls to vote and
work against the proposition.
The board of mayor and aldermen,
which has had the matter under con
sideration up to the time the Board
of Trade saw fit to act, it is under
stood, will be perfectly willing to
abide the decision of a majority vote
of this election, the members having
given expression regarding the mat
ter.
The question of allowing women to
vote has created some comment on
account of the rovelty, and after con
sidering the proposition the fairness!
of this feature at once appeals to all.
It is altogether a different matter
from a general franchise, and women
who have property subjjapt to taxa

affected as tho men, $idJ by -ight
they are entitled to vote, and it was
so agreed in the beginning.
Owners of property subject to tax
ation and advalorem tax payers with

proposed additions but the old incor
poration as well.

You may wonder why Cardui is so successful, after
other remedies have failed. The answer is that Cardui Is
successful, because it is composed of scientific ingredients,

government and other similar time
worn phrases were indulged iu. It
was apparently the sense of the meet
ing that if tht limits were extended
as proposed many negroes would
be brought into the city that negro
aldermen would be elected. This po
sition apparently ignored the fact
that in the ninth district, according
to the last cenrus, approximately six
ty per cent of the population is white
and the other fact that under the new
charter, the aldermen are elected at
large and not from any particular
wards, making the election of negro
aldermen very very improbable.
The temperance question has also,
it is understood, been injected into
the matter, some of the antis insist
ing that if the limits are extended as
proposed the city would reserve its
"dry" majority and become "wet."
Apparently those who have taken this
position have overlooked the fact that
at every election during, the past six
years in which the temperance oues
tion has been an issue the ninth dis
trict has always rolled up a majority
of approximately 150 for the temper
ance cause.
It was the unanimous sense of the
meeting that those living outside of
the present limits would oppose the
proposition for annexation. Since it
is practically certain that the people
within the present limits would '.ote
by a large majority for annexation,
the members of the meeting realized
that their chances in the election
would be rather slim. However, it
was also plam that if they partici
pated Jn the election they would be
bound ;by an unfavorable result and
have their hands tied in a future fight
against the measure.
For these very patent reasons it
was plain that they could make their
opposition fliost effective by not rec

after the building was completed the
wife died and was laid to rest i.i her

came an awful storm, a drenching,1
