1t Is possible that nowhere in this sec
ton OF the country Is there a railroad
that yields such a rich revenue as the
lUo mile Alabama and Florida branch
of the Louisville and Nashville from
Georgiana to Graceville. Fla.
Not only is the entire territory unusual
ly rich for raising cotton and corn, but
the vast forests, almost inexhaustible,
have caused the entire line to he dotted
with saw mills, turpentine stills and
plants of that description.
Some time ago The Advertiser made
extended mention Of the big saw mills be-
tween Georgiana and Geneva, but since
the tWenty-three mile extension from &C.
neva to Graceville has been completed
many more of these plants have been
built One of the largest is the extensive
mill of the Alabama and Florida Lumber

north of Graceville. 1t is owned by MT.
Tillis OF this city and Messrs White and

Just seven miles north of this plant or
fourteen miles this side of Graceville is
the mill of the Yellow Pine Lumber Com

mill is also of 60.O00 capacity and they

PROF. DAVIS CHOSEN
SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCA-
TON OF GENEVA COUNTY.
He Will Succeed John A. Campbell
Resigned-State Supt. Gunnels
Has Paid the Teachers OF
the County.

To straighten out the tangled educa-
tional affairs of Geneva County, Profess
sor j. d. Davis of Hartford has been
appointed County Superintendent of
Education. He succeeds John A. Camp
bell, who. succeeded F. M. Justice, during
whose conduct of the office its affairs be-
came muddled.
Professor Davis was appointed Satur-
day at Geneva by State Superintendent
Gunnels. Mr.. Gunnels went to Geneva
to personally superintend the paying off
of the teachers of the county whose
money because of the muddled condition
of educational affairs, was nearly a month
overdue.
The report filed by G. F. Sedberry, As
sistant Examiner of Public Accounts on
the books of FIN. Justice showed that
he had been guilty of negligence. The
Examiners report stated that over $4,000
of the funds of teachers of Geneva Coun-
ty had not been legally paid out. Justice
resigned and John A. Campbell "a well
known citizen of Geneva County, who had
been nominated by the Democrats for
County Superintendent, was appointed. In
the muddled condition of the books Mr..
Campbell decided that he did not want
the office. After qualifying he sent In
his resignation to the Department OF
not allow the use of his name In the
November election.
Meanwhile the teachers of Geneva had
not been paid and Mr.. Gunnels decided on
a trip there to see that they should get
their money.
While Mr.. Gunnels was in Geneva
Saturday the Democratic County Execu-
tive Committee met and named Professor
]. D. Davis for County Superintendent
in the place of John A. Campbell Mr.
Gunnels. thereupon appointed PROFESSOR
Davis for the unexpired term.
Professor Davis has ten days to serve
as County Superintendent until the
November election.
In Geneva County the Populists are
organized and the Democratic ticket has
strong opposition. Professor Davis
name is not written on the Clinical ticket
and each voter whose choice he Is, Will
have to write out his name. This cir
cumstance in close race. 1t is feared may
have some effect and endanger the cleo
tion of the Democratic nominee.
Mr.. Gunnels returned to Montgomery
from Geneva Sunday.

COFFEE FLYERS.
Can Be One if You stick to 1t.

The coffee habit is as injurious as other
drug HABITS of the same nature. Don /
think so? Well, dig in and see. The
system Graves stimulant more and more
until finally the victim wakes up.
When we are as fortunate as Mr.. James
D. kimble oil Northampton, Mass. to
realize that we have got to stop or the
penalty will be severe, it is a little start
ling at first to consider. He says, II was
an inveterate coffee driaker during TWEEN
~ years of my life.
The first ten years l experienced no i'll
effects from the coffee but its insidious
working brought forth a train of evils
later on. l became very nervous and Ir-
ritable, in fact felt all the time as If l
should fly to pieces. My nerves were
all unstrung and l craYed coffee as a
topper does liquor, in truth l was a 'cof-
fee topper
Ny appetite became very poo and solid
feed ropungnant to the sight; dyspepsia
and indigo stion were my inseparabls com
panions and looi d.. me but little good.
About four years ago a friend advised
me to try Postum Cereal Food Coffee
l was loath to believe that coffee was the
cause of my trouble, therefore l did not
have much faith in POSTUM, never he
less I commenced its Use and from the
very first l experienced a decided benefit.
My appetite returned, food began to taste
natural and did me good. My necvc&s-
ne IS gradually disapp ea-cd; the brain r..
came clear, the loss Of strength az
flesh arrested and thu stomach gradually
Life Sc ,med more worth
living and the continued use of Postum
has rot disappointed me. To me coffee
proved slow POISON. l have found Postum
to be a builder and sustainer of the sys-
TEN and l heartily recommend it to the
slaves of coffee, without a single reserva-
ton
Mr. Kimble mentions in his letter
many of his friends in Northampton who
have recovered health and strength from
using Postum on mis- recommendation.
