NONE OF THEM CAN READ.

A Queer Lot of IIulf-Snvnses in the,
Mountains of Alnbn
One of the widest sections of country
in Alabama is where Clebourn county
meets North Talledcga. 1t is rugged
mountainous section, fitted for nothing
but bear huting and illicit distilling.
The jewellers Of the mountains are de-
clared by the New York Sun to be al
most as ignorant as the wild animals
they live among. Their houses are log
affairs almost invariably of one room,
and in this room frequently slep and
live ten or twelve people. They are 4
hospitable lot, and the neighbor OF
stranger is always welcome to bed in
the room with the family None of
them can read. They do not know
when Sunday comes, and a ppachc:
does not get into the neighborhOOd
more than once or twice year. 1t is
seldom that family has any neighbors
nearer than two or three miles. The
people live almost entirely on the
profits derived from making whisky in
violation Of the United States revenue
laws. The cunning they show in con-
cealing these stills is remarkable, and,
although the revenue officers have for
years been trying to break up their
places, they have prospered all the
same. The worst crime that can be
committed. in the estimation of the
mountaineers, is to impart information
to the revenue officers, and whenever
mountaincer "squcals" it is in order
that he should prepare to die
without delay. They seldom sQueal,
however. They not only know that it
is almost certain death, but they have
conscientious scruplcs about it. The
first thing the children are taught is
that it is a crime to sQueal. Another
very heinous crime is to testify against
a neighbor. Death is usually the pen
atty for this also. A moonshincr con-
sdcrs it his bOunden duty to punish
such offenders. The informant has no
friends. The United States authorities
employ every means to catch and con-
Wet these men, but they swear for each
other and conviction is almost impossi-

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being we'll informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.
