 Tobacco kills more people than all the contagious diseases together
 We don't know it, or don't want to ad- init it, but it's so. Not one man in ten would get sick so easily and die from catarrh, consumption, pneumonia, heart disease. etc. if his otherwise strong con stItution were no undermined by tobacco poison.

What Will Birmingham Do for the Poultry
 Show Should It Come Here?
 To the State Herald
 Greenvile, Jan. 10.-In your issue of January notice you call attention to the prizes won by Alabama citizens at the late Chattanooga poultry exhibition. Please allow me to say l sent six of my Barred Plymouth Rocks up to the show and won first, second and third on pull let's: second and third on hens second on cockerel; first pen and first display. Pret- ty good for ''piney woods" stock of south Alabama.
 I also notice you say there is a move ment on foot to get the next exhibition of the Alabama Poultry association in Bir- mingham. As we will hardly hold an- other exhibition in Montgomery know of no place I would rather hold the show than in Birmingham If the citizens of your city will show willingness to help us make a success of the undertaking see no reason why Birmingham should not have the show. While nuinber of the public-spirited citizens of Montgom- cry came to our assistance in getting our exhibition there on foot. the public gen. erally did not aid us by their attend ance. We had to rely almost entirely on other sources for money to pay the ex- penses and premiums. Greenville Will guarantee sl50 in money, a house free and a nice lot of special premiums. What will Birmingham do? Greenville could be put down in one corner of Birmingham and have room to spare, if we compare the relative size of the two places. l can say. however, when Birmingham takes hold of an enterprise she usually does her part well. Very respectfully,
 FELL GASTON President Alabama Poultry and Pet
 Stock Association.

Suits on Old Notes Are Creating Uneasiness
 and Excitement. ].
 Ozark, Jan. 1O-Special Correspond e.)-The whisky men have com menced the circulation of petitions for the sale of whisky here during the pres ent year. Until today 1ioseffort had been made and Ozark has, had prohibition for ten days. The contest, will be very close one, as the whisky men will leave nothing undone to secure the license, and the prohibition people will be equally as jealous to prevents it's sale. The out come will be watched with much interest.
 Your correspondent had a. conversation today with an Enterprise man, who lives near the route of the South Ala bama and Gulf railroad. He was very enthusiastic and said that matters were assuming business-like proportions and that the people were confident the road would be built. As a consequence lands in that sections are advancing in price.
 Another party of Dale countians left Ozark for Texas last night. where they will reside in the future. They went from the southwestern portion of the county and will settle in eastern Texas, in Nacogdoches county.
 Some six or seven years ago, when the Alabama Midland railroad was being projected, the representatives of the con- struction company secured from Dale county people notes amounting to $50.00O or $60, GOO, payable when the road was completed to Ozark. When the notes became due and payable about two-thirds of the amount was paid without suit The remainder was unpaid and has remained so until now. A few days since MT. Rob- ert l.. Harmon, an attorney from Texas, and Lallie & Kirkland of this place brought suit against quite a. number of people on these old notes, which every body thought were, lost sight of. The filing of these suits has created consid- erable commotion among those who are sued. as everyone thought there would never be anything done about them or any effort made to collect them.
 MT. John w. Mathisen, the county treasurer, informed your. correspondent ty treasury. .-ts5I,- F.
 MT Frank P. Martin. the tax collector. has collected something over .$20,000 of the s24,000 state and county taxes
