OIL AND GOLD MINES
Visitors Speak of the Food Used

Major Desborough, writing from Eresno,, Calif., says: 'l found Grape-NutS Good 45 miles in the mountains in an o.d oil camp. where the whole crowd, 10 men, eat it for breakfast every day and every Sunday have it in d pudding for dinner.
 General E. C. Machen, an old Confeder- ate soldier, has just returned fro1a an ex- tended trip through the Southwest and along the Mexican border, Investigating mining properties. He says: No matter where I travelled, I always found it possible to get Grape-Nuts and Postum Food Cof- fec of which I am very fond.
 The Grape-Nuts breakfast food is espec- ially valued by campers and frontier peo- pie, as it is already cooked and ready for instant service, and being concentrated furnishes unusual strength and nourish- ment, in a small quantity. It is believed that man can travel farther and exercise more continuously on few teaspoons of Grape-Nuts than on like quantity of any other food known.
 The reason for this is that there are se- lected elements in GrapeNuts that fur nish direct to the brain and nerve centers the necessary particles to rebuild the del- icate gray matter contained in these parts therefore man continuously fed on Grape Nuts is absolutely certain of a good condition of the nervous system, which is really the controller of the entire body.

 President New berry's Address
 President J. M. Dewberry delivered his annual address. It was a strong paper, and received the undivided attention of the au- dienee. In this address the importance of educating children was urged, and plea against child labor.
 Many parents are today criminals be- fore man and God for the neglect of their children's education. The community that in any way fails to provide the means for an education Is it's own enemy and must pay the penalty in court costs and the maintenance of jails and penitentiaries. Not only so but the State that allows it's children to remain ignorant is not only a low grade government, but Is rob ping itself of the future greatness that would be hers with an educated citizen- ship
 Compulsory education properly enforced is in keeping with the highest principles of government, a hardship to no one, d blessing to the individual and the world But whether we have compulsory educa-
 
 test the almost inluman slavery to which thousands of even small children are sub jected on the farms in the shops, offices, stores and especially the cotton factories of the south The future of our race and of our State cries out for the emancipation and education of the child ren.
 With the consideration of these eondl- tions we must consider the remedy. It IS poor economy to turn the children out into the streets and alleys half clad and hall fed to contract all sorts of diseases ana habits. The American free school is a heritage of great value and the prophecy of national greatness and glory. As a foundation it is sure and solid, rich with blessings carved by the finger of the Great Architect and Builder in whose hands rests the destinies of individuals and na- tions Whatever is necessary to provide d free public school for every child should be completed by the school district, whose sole existence is for this purpose. We therefore, have, or should have, these four sources and grades of school support: Ma tional State, County District"
 Professor Dewberry opposed a uniform text book for the public schools of the State. In concluding his address, he re ferred to the law enatced by the last Leg islature requiring State examination for public school teachers. He said it was the best thing that had happened for the schools of Alabama in years.

Hon. John W. Abercrombie


 Following the address of Professor Dew berry, Hon. John w. Abercrombie, State Superintendent of Education, read a paper, which was full of interest. It was in sub stance as follows
 The principal topics discussed were need ed changes in the school laws of the state. He took very advanced grounds on some important points, and urged radical changes. He discussed fully the question of school revenues, and stated that the state was now giving over million dol lars to the public schools, and that this was as much as could be expected from the state, a state. On the question of taxation he plead for the right of local taxation for schools, urging its necessity and claiming that this policy was in ac- cordance with every principal of democrat ic government. Superintendent Abercrom- bic created quite breeze in the discussion by opposing the position taken by Profess sor Dewberry the president of the asso- citation. Professor DeWberry had charged in his address that all the advocates of state uniformity of text books were either candidates for office or had personal in terests at stake. Superintendent Abercrom- bic said if he left so disposed he might charge that all who opposed such plan were the paid servants of the "school book trusts" However, he did not believe this to be true. He thought that the question had two sides, and men could honestly take either side.
 The question of examinations was dis cussed. the superintendent taking d strong stand for the new examination law. He stated that this law had defects but with these it was infinitely better than the old law, and was long step in the right di- rection.
 He discussed the poll tax laws and urged stricter laws on this point. He stated that in Alabama there were four hun dred thousand polls, and that one hun dred thousand paid the tax. He took the position that the Constitution was not being followed in the poll tax laws.
 The address was we'll received by the association, and was frequently interrupted by applause.
 The day sessions of the association will be held at the LakevieW pavilion and the night sessions at Seals Hall.
 The State Association of County Superin- tendents will meet this afternoon at Lake view and their meeting will be attended by the teachers, the latter not having any afternoon session.

some Local Expressions

Almost every business man in Birming- ham indulged in discussion of the gas situ- alton yesterday A few talked for publica- tion:
 M. H. Burger said: ''I am most assuredly for dollar gas; am opposed, therefore, to the thiry-year contract now before the City Council. I use gas at my residence and little gas at my store, supplementing my store gas with lamps. If gas were cheaper I would use more of it. Certainly the people of Birmingham are entitled to dollar gas."

Gas in Knoxville

Another party, in speaking of cities hay ing dollar gas, said that Birmingham, with high prices, was making but 50,000,000 feet of gas annually and had only about 1,500 consumers, while Knoxville, a smaller city, selling gas at S1 had about 2,400 consumers and sold nearly 100, 900 feet of gas an nually

Broken Bric-a-Rracs-

Mr. Major. the famous cement man. of New
York. explains some very interesting facts
about Majors cement.
The multitude who use this standard article
know that is it many hundred per cent. better
than other cements for which similar claims
are made but a great many do not know
why The simple reason is that Mr. Major
other manufacturers dO not use them be-
cause they are too expensive and Go not allow
large profits. Mr. Major tells us that one of
the elements Of his cement costs s.. Is a pound
and another costs 81. IS a gallon, while large
share of the SO-called cements and liquid
glue upon the market are nothing more than
sixteen-cent glue dissolved in water or citric
color and odor by the addition of cheap and
useless ma terials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents and
twenty five cents bottle, and when a dealer
tries to sell substitute you can depend upon
it his only object is to make larger profit
The profit on Majors cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement
that each dealer gets his share of the benefit
OF Mr. Majors advertising. which now
amounts to over 5000 a month throughout
the country Established in 1876
Insist on having Majors. Don'taccept any

latter part of December ard the
whole of January was dry, and Feb

tell me that the ground was never

during January, and consequently
the winter wheat crop is in the best
OF condition. The farmers need not

enough to kill the few remaining

determined to write you and
all of my friends in regard to some
extensive trips that I have made in
the state Of Oregon, and whatI have
experienced on my journeys. You
known [ am not an expert news
paper writer. / suppose you are
getting prepared for the tall cam
paign. Knowing nothing about it
have no remarks to make concerning
t. In the state Of Oregon the cam
Iaign was fought almost exclusively
on rational issues. The republicans
declared boldly and plainly for ex-
pansion and gold and stood squarely
by their guns throughout the fight
Mr.. Bryan was here some time ago
and opened the democratic campaign
and delivered a number Of his most
red-hot speeches on anti-imperialism
and free silver. The result was the
biggest republican majority for
many years. Put this and that to-
gether and draw your own conclu-
