sagacity and foresight, the same
intelligent attention, the samsFintegrity
Of purpose, which are demandedi ia tha
management of any large business en-.
terprise. The man who Is d failure ia
his own business, is the very last man
who should be made a county COM
missioner. These are ~self.eyident
truths, and in the light Of them every
voter should contrast Henry G. Coors
with j. A. Carruth. AS a business
man, Carruth is a Q Unknown failure,
while Henry G. Coors has been emf.
nently successful. No man would
hesitate q moment as to which Of the

as to the one best suited to the
place Of county commissioner.

IT is said that two Of the republican
candidates for county commissioners
are unable to read and write. With
them and j. A. Carruth to constitute
the county board, what could be ex-
pected but extravaganza run to riotp
But, then, it is unnecessary to dwell
upon the picture. Such an a~bsurdisy
will never happen.

Non. But Ayers At the Worlds Pair

Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the ex
traordinary distinction of having been
the only blood purifier allowed an ex-
hibit at the Worlds fair, Chicago.
Manufacturers of other SarsapaIillas
sought by every means to obtain a
showing Of their goods, but they were
all turned away under the application
Of the rule %forbidding the entry of
patent medicines and Hostrums. The
decision of the Worlds fair authorities
in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in
effect as follows: "Ayer's Saisaparilla
is not a patent medicine. It does not
belong to the list Of nostrums. 1t is
here on It's merits"

sMUGGLED PHENAoETINE.
4 storekeeper and Two Sfeerage
Stewards Under Arrest.

Philadelphia, Jan. 22.-An important
seizure of phenacetine. the chemical
which has figured so largely in smuggling
operations at various ports of entry, was
made tonight by custom officers at pier
IS. south wharves. Joseph Pauline, store
keeper Of the wharf. and George Coll,
the steerage steward of the steamship
Switzerland, were arrested for being con-
cerned in smuggling the stuff ashore. and
were both locked up at the station house.
On the way 10 the station Coll admitted
that he was doing the work for Chief
Steward Schmlig, who represented a large
concern in New York.
1t is believed that Schmlig Is the chief
and the representative of a large syudi-
cate that is flooding the country with
phenacetine without the payment OF du-
ties. 1t is thought that a large quantity
of the drug was landed from the Switzer-
land and hid in a lumber pile. The larger
from the lumber pile by Schmng, when he
heard of the arrest of Pauline and Coil,
for he disappeared at once, and was not
seen again until late in the evening and
on his return he was at once placed under
surveillance and not allowed to leave the
ship, except upon the permission of Col
lector Read. 1t is likely other arrests
viii take place tomorrow, and that the
receivers of the drug IN New York will
be discovered.
The seized packages bear the trademark
many. 1t is nicely put up i'm packages of
ten pounds, and so arranged that il can
be carried in long winter overcoat with
out detection.

BISMARCK NOT DEAD.
A False Report Gains Wide CircuIa-
tiOn at Berlin.


Berlin, Jan. ga rumor was in circu-
lation here this morning that Prince Bis
marck had been stricken with paralysis
of the heart yesterday afternoon and
had died during last night. Burgomaster
Fisher of Berlin left Prince Bismarck in
excellent health at 11:5O o'clock last night
(Tuesday), after having passed the day
with the ex-chaneellor. Later advices
from Frederichsruhe show that the runor
was absolutely unfounded. Prince Bis
marck is well and took his usual bath,
and observed his accustomed routine this
morning.
Although the mischievous rumor Of
Prince Bismarck death proved untrue
the report emanated from such serious
and reliable persons that even President
Won Koeller of the Prussian Landtag was
impelled to telephone to the emperors
cabinet, foreign Office and the chancel-
lerie, inquiring for particulars, and was
surprised to hear that nothing was
known of the reported death of the ex-
chancellor at any Of those places. This
is the third rumor of Prince Bismarck's
death that has been circulated in Berlin
within week.

4 REMARKABLE TIDE OF TaIMIGRA-
TION FROM THE WEST.


The Movement Turning a Large Por-
tiOn of the Southern Trade Fron1
the East to the NOrthwest-A Num-
bcr of New Industries Located fm
the south by Western PeOpIe-A
Picnic for the Land Agents.
birmingham. Ala. Jan. 22.-Reports re-
ceivcd by the Southern and Northwesteru
Industrial Association at the general
offices in this city from various outside
points east OF the Mississippi, show a
remarkable tide OF immigration from the
northwest to the south since the holi-
days.
1t is pointed out that the tide Of i'm
migration from the northwest has been
an important factor in turning a large
portion Of southern trade from the east
to the northwest. Southern retail mer-
chants in the agricultural districts re-
port a fairly active demand from new
customers for new brands of merchan-
disc, such as agricultural implements. ve-
hicles. household goods and groceries han
died in the south.
Inquiry on this line reveals the fact
that these new customers are western
farmers who have recently come south,
with which they have been familiar i'm
the west. This fact has caused a num-
Der Of small purchases to be made I'm Chi-
caBo by southern merchants who have
never before used the western markets
except for grain and food products.
A number of minor Industries are be-
ing located in the south by western peo-
pie. Representatives Of the various pro-
fessiOns from the northwest are looking
for new locations IN the south, and cur
rent events seem TO favor close political
and industrial alliance between the south
and the northwest. II Is estimated that
a very large per cent. OF southern trade
will 40 to the northwest during the next
season, particularly in the line of ag-
ricultual implements.
All of the southern railroads are giving
special attention TO immigration and offer
liberal Inducements In the way Of reduced
rates. No less than 500 land agents have
gone from the southern states to the
northwest since Jan. i for the purpose or
presenting the advantages Of different To-
calities and inducing home seekers from
the northwest to locate in the south. Near
ly every real estate agent Is now adver-
tising farm lands as a special feature of
his business.
Colonization companies have been found
ed az nearly every county seat Out OF
siyty-slx counties in Alabama forty re-
port the presence OF agents from the
northwest <G1AaAssSlve been sent out TO ex-
anime land and general conditions In the
south. A large per cent. OF the new set
tiers from the northwest are Grand Army
men, and this fact Will show heavy in
crease I'm the pensions payments for the
present the aggregate of the pension pay
mcnts in the southern states Is hardly Q
per cent OF the total Of the country.
Should immigration to the south from the
northwest continue, the increase In pen-
sion disbursements for the southern states
for the next fiscal year will probably show
"a gain OF fully per cent, making the to-
tai about Sl5,OW,OOO, or 10 per cent. Of the

if Mint Director Prestons figures of $3.50 :
100000 in the United States is correct,
leaves 1912, 100000 of gold in trust compa-

He Lacks Only Seven votes OF the

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 22.-Now that ex-
Senator McLaurin has been duly installed
as governor the people Of Mississippi have
been thinking more seriously to-day Of
the senatorial deadlock and speculatins
as to how 1t will be broken. Col. Moneys
friends have confidently asserted that II
ballot was had tonight he would be
nominated, but on the other hand the
opposition lowry and Allen and Hooker
were equally positive in their assertions
that he would never again come as near
the goal as he was on Thursday last
There are still a few who claim that Nc
Laurin holds the key to the situation
and that at the proper time he viii use
it, This is not among the probabilities
however. That there is a pretty strong
undercurrent for McLaurin there is no
sort Of doubt, but the friends of Col
Money say 1t cannot be concentrated
against their man, who Is the second
choice of more than sufficient number
to nominate him in case either Lowry or
Allen are ever withdrawn, or after II is
demonstrated they cannot win. The first
ballot tonight, the thirteenth in ALL re-
suited: Money, 6S; Lowry, 40; Allen, 35;
Hooker, 8; McLaurin, 8; Yerger, 2.
On the fourteenth ballot McLaurin re-
ceiYed fifteen votes, Lowry losing one,
Hooker one, Yerger one. and Allen four
This increase in McLaurin's vote was like
a bombshell in the caucus and put all
hands to work to check IL. A stampede
was feared, but it never came; instead Nc
and Money gained two. on the sixteenth
McLaurin had only eight, while Money
received a. lacking only seven Of the
nomination when the caucus adjourned
