Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1896-12-02
JOSEPH FORNEY JOHNSTON
Governor of the Great State of Alabama Steps
o Southern Confederacy He

government except equal laws, and per-
haps the perfection of a system of coast
defenses that in case of sudden war
would enable our citizen soldiers to de-
fend this fair land from invasion and
maintain the national honor. Consider
ing the gallantry of our brethren, who in
obedience to the call of duty, were proGi-
gal in deeds of valor In the war between
the states, no one could doubt that should
occasion arise, even more splendid
achievements would adorn the defense
of home and national integrity by the
men of this generation.
We must also bear I'M mind that as our
state progresses in population, wealth
and development we can devote larger
and larger sums to the education of our
children, the reformation of our criminal
classes and the enlightened progress Of
our people. until our commonwealth shall
stand at the very head of the list Of
states, not only on the roll CALL but in
all that commands the admiration and
affection of the good and the wise.
In order to accomplish this great des-
tiny no sumptuary laws, no restraint
upon personal liberty, except for the
common good, should ever mar our stat
ute books, and all the people should be
permitted to work out their own destiny,
and worship God according to the die
tates of their own consciences, free from
any legislation that win hamper them in
the enjoyment of their rights. We have
the right to congratulate ourselves on

the new Governor with message to the
general assembly.
Hon. Francis B. Lloyd moved that read
Ing of the Governors message be dis
pensed with and 800 copies be printed for
the benefit of the members of both
houses and placed upon their desks. The
motion prevailed. The house then ad-
journed for the day on motion of Hon.
Cecil Brown.
The message reads as follows.
Gentlemen of the General Assembly.
Under the Providence of God you have
been chosen by the people of Alabama to
direct their affairs and shape their legls-
lation for the next two years. This duty
should be discharged by you under a
solemn sense of the responsibilities in
#volved, and with unforgetful memory
that you are the servants of the people
No party spirit and no partisan zeal
should influence your action. We must
remember that he who would serve his
party best will best serve the people.
/ am persuaded that at no time in the
history of the state has more capable
intelligent and patriotic body been as
sembled to legislate for our people, and
I congratulate myself and the state that
the paramount consideration that will
control your conduct will always be the
good of the people. So far as am con-
cerned I need hardly assure you that I
shall do all l can to assist you in your
deliberations to reach wise conclusions,
and that in the administration of the
Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1896-12-02

theiprogress we have made. At the close
Of the war after our ranks had been
thinned by that bloody struggle we re-
turned to homes upon which the hand
of disaster had fallen, without money or
credit, more than half of our property
destroyed, and with an alien government
imposed upon us intent chiefly upon pill
lage. We undertook the task of recon-
structing our fortunes, task almost as
great as that of conquering success ON
fiery fields against gallant soldiers thrice
our superiors in numbers and equipment.
Within a generation we have restored
the waste places more than doubled our
productions, built cities, opened mines,
erected furnaces and factories, establish
ed our credit and largely increased our
appropriations for free schools. This
great work has been accomplished almost
wholly by southern men and southern
money. We have been the pioneers or
our own development; on the great In
dustrial fields we have met our brethren
of the north and compelled recognition
as competitors worthy of their steel.
The manufacture of cotton Is steadily
drawing around the fields where IL is
grown In iron we nave not only IN
vaded territory heretofore possessed
by our friends in Pennsylvania and Ohio,
and entrenched ourselves there for per-
manent occupation, but are now ship
ping our product to Great Britain and
Italy, Germany and Spain, and undersell-
ing in. their home markets those who
have had the trade of the world for gem
erations at their command.
Having accomplished such results as
this ourselves, we have the right to ex-
pect that as sectional prejudice disap-
pears before the rising light of a broader
patriotism our progress shall be still
greater in the future.
Here on this spot, hallowed to us by
so many sacred memories; here where a
hD- f6IIr, f7nf.
of hostile artillery, baptized in the blood
of its noblest sons and then maintained
the unequal struggle for sovereignty for
four bloody years; what more approprf-
ate place than this for US to dedicate our
selves once more to the preser-
walton and maintenance of the union.
whose declaration was framed, whose
armies were led and whose highest court
has been illuminated by southern men?
Holding in our hearts an unforgetfu1
memory OF fhe splendid achievements of
our revolutionary fathers, and the glori-
GUS deeds of our confederate brethren,
deeds that ,immortalized southern valor
and sgloriied American manhood, We
should show to our brethren of other
states that our people are as noble IN
peace ass they were heroic in war, and
that in the fields of education. morality,
religion and Industrial development
we shall make a more splendid record
than our brethren did on fields of blood.
With profound gratitude to the God
of our fathers, that our lots have been
cast in this sunny land, let us beseech
Him to send warmth and vitality and en-
during growth into every field of endeav-
or that will make us strong to accom-
plish thesthngs that make a state loved
at home and revered abroad.

A Thankful Girl.
From the Examiner. San Francisco

TFU" W. T,Au"sstcfS ouU HFuHCtSCOt Sues
Miss Lottie Donell lives with her parents
at 702 Natoma Street, San Francisco. She
is n young lady nineteen years of age, and of
prepossessing appearance. Ever since she
was ten years old Miss Donell has been a
sufferer from a rheumatic affection of the
wrist, and since she was thirteen years of
age she has been subject to various female
weaknesses which nave kept her physical
vitality at a very low stage. Thus, as she
says, she has been a victim of disease ever
since she can remember. When she was
a little girl at school she was always placed
at a disadvantage with her %playmates on ac-
count of her frailty of body and timidity of
manner. She could never join in any of the
more boisterous games, although she always
longed to do SO.
But the embarrassing conditions of Miss
Donell's life have all been eliminated with
in the past year, and the change is wholly
due to the effective work of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills.
at must be remembered, " said Miss
Donell in telling of the grea. relief that DR..
Williams Pills had afforded her, Il" that at
the time | began taking the pills | had been
for years. confirmed invalid. My wrist was
rheumatism that had long since settled in it.
The female complaints from which l had so
long suffered had wasted my body away until
| was but a mere shadow of my former self
and | had really come to think that the
brightness and happiness of life was not
meant for me. l had not the energy to per-
form even the most simple of my household
duties, and, in a word / was completely run
down. l began to take DR.. Williams Pills
while | was in this condition and before I
had taken half a box of them ! realized that
they were doing me good. l began to feel
lively again and to lose the lax feeling in
my limbs. | felt so happy over the momen
tary relief that had been afforded me that 1
resolved to continue taking the pills. After
taking several more boxes / was more than
convinced of the high merits of the pills, for
| was then wholly relieved from the rheu-
matte pains in my wrist and l had so far re-
gained my vitality of body that / really
believed | had never experienced the ener-
waiting effects of those wasting diseases which
are so peculiar to women. 1t is a very great
pleasure to me to be able to tell my young
lady friends of the relief that has been az
forded me by DR.. Williams Pills and l will
surely continue to recommend their use to
all who are afflicted with the complaints
from which I suffered"
Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be
