SORES AND
ULCERS.

Sores and Ulcers never become chronic
unless the blood il in poor condition is
sluggish, weak and unable to throw of
the poisons that accumulate in it. The
system must be relieved of the unhealthy
matter through the sore, and great danger
to life would follow should it heal before
the blood has been made pure and healthy
and all impurities eliminated from the sys-
TEN. SIS. begins the cure by first cleans
ing and invigorating the blood, building
UP the general health and removing from
the tn, ,. system a CONSTANT Dram
efTete matter UP0N the SYSTEM.
When this has been accomplished the dis
charge gradually ceases, and the sore or
ulcer heals. It is the tendency of these old
indolent sores to grow worse and worse,
and eventually to destroy the bones. Local
applications, while soothing and to some
extent alleviate pain, cannot reach the seat
of the trouble. S. S. S. does, and no matter
how apparently hopeless your condition,
even though your constitution has broken
down, it will bring relief when nothing
else can. It supplies the rich, pure blood
necessary to heal the sore and ccurish
the debilitated, diseased body.

Played Rip With Jefferson.

"I took the child's part of Henrick with Joe Jefferson in Rip Van Wrinkle, in New Orleans thirty-five years ago, when I was but eight" said J. J. Laughran, of Bir- mingham. And took the child's part in almost every play with a child char acter that came to our theater for several years.
 "The theater was owned in part by my uncle, and the theatrical companies were stock companies, such as Joe Jeffer- sons, when helped him to play Rip It was great fun for me, and received a little pay for my work, which was decidedly an attraction. I am sorry to say that remember nothing about Joe Jefferson in a personal way that would interest the public, except that he was good to me. and seemed to be kind to all children. But he had an old man in his company, the name of whom I do not recall, who was very rough and rude, andiI lived in perfect ter TOT of him, I used to feel that I would die of fright O fhim.
 Since that time in New Orleans, thirty years ago. I have never seen Joe Jeffer- son, although he acted in Birmingham last week. I meant to go and see him in Rip but something occurred to keep me away from the theater."

Texas Oil as Fuel.

Two facts seem to be pretty we'll established, namely, the Beaumont district, in the southeast corner of Texas, has an immense suppIy of pe- troleum oil in it's depths, and this oil ig of the fuel grade, although further developments may show that it can be refined into other uses. At the outset 1t was thought the wonderful Baku felu in Russia would produce nothing but fuel oil, but experience has shown that the Baku product is fit for all pur- poses that any petroleum can be used for. This wonderful region now fur nishes Illuminating as well as lubri- eating oil, and it's great gushing wells produce so bountifully that the price above 50 cents. The closing price of December was II kopecks per pood, or 47.2 cents a barrel
 The Beaumont field closely resem- bles the Baku district in all respects. Both are in districts that contain great gushing wells, and in both the oil needs a good teal of refining before it can be used for Illuminating purposes. Tn the Baku district wells have aver aged 100000 barrels day, and one we'll averaged throughout last July s7,O00 barrels day. The Texas wells are almost as generous. and the sue cess that has come to Russian oil will no doubt be repeated in Texas.
 The Beaumont field is in a flat coun- try, almost within sight of the coast. Port Arthur is but sixteen miles away, and Port Arthur has deep water harbor. Not only will this oil be piped right and left and 10 the rear, but it will be carried in tank steamers wherever a market for it can be found. The nearness of the district to the sea is . great advantage in the marketing of the oil.
 There is no doubt whatever as to the value of the Beaumont oil for fuel purposes, and no doubt it will after while rub against coai in that respect.

Bessemer is We'll Represented.

The Thirty-seventh Ward of Greater Birmingham, often known and spoken of as Bessemer, has g. paper with a propensity to kick, the Workman, and the the Workman says:
 The State at large is getting it's eyes open to Birmingham's political power, and under present conditions the present rep resentation of Jefferson County will not be increased The people from all over the State will be made to know that Birmingham's control of the affairs of the big county of Jefferson has not been and will not be conducive to the best in- terests of the people of the county. Under present conditions Birmingham can and will select the officials of the county, and from self-interest these rep resentatives will ignore the claims of any other portion of the county to local self-government.
 As a matter of fact Bessemer se- cures a representative in the Legisla- ture on a population of 6358, when the ratio in the county is 23,403. It will soon, too,. have a delegate in the con stitutional convention. Certainly the Workman does not think Bessemer should have two representative or two delegates when it has but 635S population.
 Bessemer has all along been the best represented locality of the county. It gets more pie than any other 635S people in the entire county. It has no grounds whatever for kick ing, and if a vote were taken the Age Herald ventures the opinion that a majority would declare in favor of staying in county that will soon out rank any other in the cotton States, rather than go into one-horse county that no one would be proud of. The imperial county of Jefferson will soon leave the Memphis county as far be- hind as it already has left the counties that contain Atlanta and Nashville, and Bessemer should be glad to share in the glory, and we believe it is.

An Alabama Exhibit.

From the Huntsville Mercury.
 The announcement that an exhibit of Alabama products will be made at Bufe 10 will please the majority of the people of Alabama. It would have been unfor- tunate for Alabama to have allowed the greatest advertising opportunity of the age to have passed without profiting by it in any way. se
 The money will be expended under the provision of the statutes that the com missioner of agriculture, with the con- sent of the governor. may expend money from the agricultural funds to make ex- hibits at state and international fairs and expositions The recent legislature declined to appropriate a sum for the purpose of equipping a car for exhibits, not because there was objections to an exhibit but because the plan was unpop- ular.
 The Mercury has always insisted that Alabama should cultivate closer rela- tions with the east, instead of the west When centers are wanted they are to be found in the east. It is considered folly to carry coal to New Castle and 1t is equally stupid to go where there Is no surplus population for home-seekers.
The age-herald., 1901-04-16

But no oil can supplement coal and coke in many places. If the Warrior were open it could not supplant it at all. for coal could then be laid down at the sea coast at bottom prices. Seagoing vessels will not use oil, nor will railroads if they can procure coal below $2 a ton. The opening of the new oil district renders still more needful and imperative the opening of the Warrior. Even New Orleans needs an open Warrior for it wants low priced coal for steamers going to sea, no matter how many pipe lines it may secure. Old King Coal is not by any means knocked out, although he is staggered a little by the gushers at Beaumont.

THE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
She was the swe eet majoram of the salad or rather, The herb Of race.
 Aif's We That Ends We'll
NumberIess chanaes Demanded.

.Ilth cheerful hypocrisy the valued Montgomery Advertiser denouDces in one breath the presentation of addi- tional issues that will come before the approaching constitutional conven- tion, and in the next breath it advo- cates smaller counties; the turning of local pills to "tne Probate or other courts," and a reconstruction of the judiciary system of the State, besides
 rumberless changes which existing changes demand. It Is advocating, in other words, general smashing in courts, legislation and counties, thus arousing opposition where it would not otherwise exist.
 But, happily, the squad it commands numbers only few, and it therefore matters little what position the Adver- tiser takes in relation to the courts, legislation and the counties, not to mention the numberless other things which existing changes demand.
 The Advertisers cheerful hypocrisy is matched by it's equally cheerful i'm pudence in it's attempt to place itself at the head of the Democratic col umn-to take charge, in fact, of the whole thing. In it's own mind it is now conducting and directing the cam paign,r and it's favorites are now the eledt, and nohe others need apply ex- cept as rank and fife. Impotence goes a long ways in this world, but it is not potent enough to establish the Ad- yertiser in the confidence and esteem of the people of Alabama.
 The convention proposition will sweep the State, for everybody knows the State needs suffrage reform.
 The Age-Herald doc not think ''numberless changes" are needed. Very few changes are needed, and none should be made that are not i'm peratively needed. But the possibility of such changes should not deter sin gle voter from voting 'yes, because he will have a chance to vote mo-" if need De, when the instrument is sub mltted The people will vote "yes" next week by an overwhelming ma jority. In fact, the negative vote will be of the nature known in politics as scattering.

Is Birmingham Too Busy?

There is a possibility that the Bruns- wick and Birmingham Railroad will be built by the way of Montgomery and not touch Birmingham at all," said w. A.. Lovejoy, late of Dun's Agency.
 'The trouble is that Birmingham is talk ing no sort of interest in the enterprise, is not even showing the promoters of the new line the ordinary courtesies of busi- ness, while Montgomery is making all ef- forts short of offering a money bonus to get the line built in that direction. T. seems that Birmingham is so busy an, prosperous that it does not care to con- cern itself in securing another great rail- road system, such as the Brunswick and Birmingham will certainly be.
 Quite by accident I know that E. c. Machen, the promoter and president of the new railroad, feels sense of having been entirely neglected in his work toward giving Birmingham another railroad, and I believe it to be in no sense impossible that he will build his road along the sec ond, or Montgomery survey, for after having the direct route to Birmingham surveyed he caused direct route to Montgomery to be laid off and mapped"
 Being asked if 1t were not true Pierpont Morgan and the other great masters of money had decreed that no other import ant new line of railroad should be built in the United States until all existing lines paid dividends, and if it were not now impossible to obtain as much as six millions for any one new line, MT Love- joy said:
 T know nothing of any such combina- ton of capital to prevent the building of new lines; but if there be anything of the kind. it does not and cannot operate against the Brunswick and Birmingham road, for President Machen has secured all the money-six millions of dollars that he requires. And 1t should be under stood that he asks for no money from Birmingham: he merely expects ordinary business interest and courtesy on the part of this city. He would like at least to have some assurance that Birmingham will not be altogether displeased at being given another great railroad line. Is Bir- mingham too busy and prosperous for that?"

 An she longs to spread her wings. An through a the day she beckons, An through a the riicht she sings; Come ava ava my darlin',
 Come ava wi me and fly To a land that's fairer, kinder
 Than the moors and hills O Syke." Oh, my heart. My weary hearti
 There ne'er day goes by But 1t turns home to Dunvegan
 By the storm-beat hills o'Syke. I hae wandered miles flu many,
 I hae marked flu many a change, l hae won me gear in plenty
 In this land sac fair, but strange; Yet at times a spell is on me,
 I'm boy once again-to rin On the hills about Dunvegan-
 An the kind sea shuts me in Oh, my heart. My weary hearti
 There's ne'er day goes by But it turns home to Dunvegan
 By the storm-beat hills o'Syke.

EDUCATION AT THE SOUTH.

From the New York Times.
 In the closing days of April a number of visitors from the North will go to Ham oton for the annual spring exercises, to Winston, N. C., for the annual con ference. and afterward to Tuskegee, Ala. These visits are of the greatest interest to those taking part in them, and ought to be of essential service in spreading a vivid and accurate impression of what is doing in the way of education at the South.
 Probably there never has been a time when more was being done in any land for such work than in our country at the present time. and yet what is actually doing is far, behind that which ought to be done, and ultimately must be. Edu- cation in the South, both for the blacks and for the whites, is as much a problem and a duty for the North as for the peo- pie of that immediate section. For the
 institution of slavery, which was the cause of the utter want of negro educa- tion, the North was as distinctly if not as heavily responsible as the South. For the war that destroyed slavery and with it destroyed much of the resources on which education for whites and blacks depended the responsibility of the North is direct, and it Is increased by the fact that victory was with the North in the struggle. It Is, then, the plain duty of the North to aid in every feasible and effective way to promote the schools which the South is crippled in supplying.
 It is not a question of voting money from the national treasury. That, in our judgment, Is not a sound principle, and if it were it cannot secure the approval of the country. It has been debated and failed. Nor Is it a question of what is usually called charity. It is rather one of enlightened self-protection on the one hand and of manly and sympathetic brotherly feeling on the other hand. The most precious and lasting interests of the nation depend directly on the provision made for education in the South. Inevi- tably and rightly the greater part of that provision must come from the South it. self. But very valuable help can be given. It is being given at Hampton and at Tuskegee, and at many less promi- nent points. given in the right spirit and under intelligent direction. These are the examples of what should be done on far larger scale, and the better they are known the more sure it is that the larger work will be undertaken.

REGENERATION OF THE SOUTH.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 The new South has attracted the atten- tion of the veteran correspondent, Mir. Townsend, and he writes entertainingly in another part of the Dispatch about what he has seen there. The new South is a section of the country that depends upon it's own efforts to bring prosperity not an exclusive community holding it. self aloof from the remainder of the world, but region that is striving for industry and commerce. South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana pre- sent many changes to the economic or sociological student who remembers them as they were before or just after the Civil war.
 The new South is awakening to its ad- vantages and forgetting its calamities. The factories in operation. says Gath, have done more to heal the wounds of the years. Industrial development has given the people an outlook to the future and induced them to forget the past. It is the old story that only the active are content, the good only are happy. The new South is the same as the old, but is buster and better, casting aside It's an- cient grievances for the treasures to be extracted from the present. Undoubted- ly industry is the panacea for the ills that have most beset the Southland. not mere ly for the regeneration of the old fami- lies, but for the solution of the race prob lem.

SCHURMAN'S PLAN FOR
 SETTLING WITH CUBA

New York. April 15.-A dispatch to the Herald from Havana says:
 Jacob G. schurman, President of Cor nell University, who has sailed from this city for New York, was in Cuba for ten days studying the situation. Hs visited four of the six provinces of the island and followed closely current opinion as expressed in the Cuban newspapers President Schurman in an interview said:
 The people of Cuba are less excited over the menace to Cuban sovereignty supposed to be contained in the Platt amendment than are the Republicans of Havana. Indeed, business men and own CTS of property universally favor an im- mediate acceptance of the amendment, though many told me they did not dare so publicly.
 The present political uncertainty is paralyzing to the movements of capital which are indispensable for the recovery of prosperity of the island So, too, a majority of the educated men of the country recognize the necessity from the Cuban point of view of the protection and security guaranteed by the Platt amend ment The opposition comes from the poorest and most ignorant section of the community and although they have views of their own. how far they are influenced by wire-pulling politicians it is very difficult to determine.
 T have talked with both white and colored men-and one-third of the popula- tion is colored. Many of these have no idea whatever on the subject. On the other hand. have been surprised by the earnestness with which both white and colored-colored perhaps more than white have disclaimed to me against the amendment as a menace to their liberties as an incidious scheme for reducing them to colonial dependence as oppressive as that from which the war with Spain de- livered them.
 Of course, the knowledge of these people is ill-proportioned to their zeal The measure they oppose has no exist ence, but such is their idea of the amend ment and such their attitude toward the product of their own imagination. Nor can you argue them out of this state of
