HOW A WOMAN GOT
HER STRENGTH

She Took Our VTinol with
Good Results.
WE WANT EVERY ONE TO
KNOW ABOUT 1T.

READ WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY.
COME AND SEE US,

We don't want any one in this city
to drag themselves through life in pain
and misery for the want of enough
strength to feel well and happy.
If you feel listless, without ambition
and run down, it is bad sign.
You are running grave chances. You
are in a condition to be attacked by
most any disease.
This feeling of debility is symptom
that your system is generally democrat
lied. You should take tonic.
You should take Vinol, which we
know and will guarantee will restore
your strength.
Following is one case where it did
this. Mrs. T. Fl. Boyle, of Sc Chestnut
St., West Newton, Mass, says:
Last spring I used one bottle of
Vinol. At that time I was all run
down and sick. I find that it did me
lots of good, and by its usemy strength
came back to me-"
Vinol is a delicious preparation, con-
tanning the active curative principles
that are found in cod-liver oil, dis
solved in delicate table wine.
Vinol acts directly on the stomach,
aiding digestion and at the same time
creating healthy appetite. 1t gives
strength and vigor to every organ of
the body.
We endorse Vinof, and guaran-
tee its action, and will gladly
refund to any one who is not
satisfied the money which they
paid for it.

One of the pathetic circumstances
that came to light in New York City on
Christmas Eve was that Pauline Mark
ham, once the queen of stage beauties,
is now earning scant subsistence by
scrubb1ng floors in a Harlem fiat build
ing. This is the woman whose arms
were once described as ''the lost arms
of Venus and to whom Whittier indi-
ted an autograph letter declaring her
to be ga pearl among pebbles" She
is old now and has lost her beauty, but
she retains some pride, for she con-
ceals her identity behind fictitious
name.

SOCiALlSM's GROWTH.
Immigrants Have Swelled Ranks With
 Every Ship.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
 During the last decade there has been an extraordinary growth of socialism In the United States, a growth as phenome- nal as unnatural, because, under our free institutions of government there should be no spot of ground on which that rank weed of popular unrest could take root or fructify. How commonly 1t has taken root and expanded in this coun- try Is suggested, at least, by Governor elect Bates of Massachusetts who in a recent address at Boston stated that on the day of the late elections, November 4. some 10000 men in Massachusetts and some 100000 men in the nation stood up and were counted for naked socialism"
 The truth is that socialism is not a na- tive but a foreign growth, and that in large measure It's noxious development may be traced directly to the increase of the illiterate immigrants from the old world. Our defective immigration laws. instead of checking the influx of unde- irable immigrants. promote 1t. From the lowest strata of European ignosance, penury and political class expressions come multitudes with every newly -arriv- ing steamship. who only know that con stituted government and society have kept down them and their forbears, and consequently they come here sullenly ar rayed against both not knowing the dif- ference between the harsh political and social conditions of the old world and those of the new, to which they have im- migrated
 The United States has imported social ism on every ship from abroad which has borne to our shores the iliterate and n-trodden people which have crowd- cd their steerage. In 1875 25 per cent of the population of Massachusetts was for eign born; in 1890 it was 32 per cent. What wonder. then. that with the steadily in- creasing tide of aliens, ignorant not only of our political and social institutions. but of our language even, the vague and intangible discontent which fills with un- rest the masses of continental Europe should be transferred to this country by those who suffer from 1t there.

 After being out only eight minutes the Jury In the case or Porter Coleman, charged with the murder of Burrel Duck worth. returned a verdict of not guilty, and the defendant, who has been in the county jail for two years, was discharged from custody. The murder which was charged to Coleman was committed in May about five years ago. The victim had just come from the river with load of goods and placed them in the smoke house on the Coleman place on the South side. As he closed the door and started to leave the house, after issuing rations to crowd of negroes two shots were fired from out of the darkness and Duck worth fell with his body full of buckshot. Suspicion fell on Coleman and he was ar- rested and brought to Selma and tried be fore Justice Gayle, who released him. Subsequently the grand jury found an in- dictment against him, but he had left for parts unknown. About two yeyars ago he was found in Washington county working in the timber business and was arrested and brought to the Jail in this county The first indictment found against him was quashed and the trial has been put off from time to time until yesterday, when it was taken up with the result of the acquittal of the defend- ant.
 There was little testimony except of circumstantial nature against the defend- ant and the jury were not long in making up their minds to acquit him.

"Faustv at the Jefferson.

Yesterday afternoon and again at night the Jefferson was crowded to the doors to witness the version of the play which will not die-the version of 1t tat Lewis Morrison has been presenting nearly twenty years. The play swayed the audi ences of yesterday juss as it did when 1t was first presented.
 The story of Faust. that learned man. and of Marguerite, that peasant girl from the brain of Gorthe, were enacted under the temptation of life. woven before all eyes by Mephlsto, that fraud incarnate.
 Mir Morrison was In excellent form last night and his art seemed well nigh per feet. He was frequently applaudeI. and at the end of the fourth act hs was called before the curtain and made a delightful little speech in which he said the ani- nation and energy of Birmingham" sur pass those of any town in the south and then he told the audience of the time when in the last act the trapdoor refused to act, leaving his head and feather in sight. Just then voice in front cried out:
 "Iully gee, hell Is so full there Is not room for even one more.''
 All are familiar with Faust" and the old story was retold last night effective ly One of the good features of the even ing was the sextette. and especially the four male voices that sang in the first act, and were twice recalled. A delicious bit of acting, besides MT. Morrison's rem dition of Mephisto, was that of Martha" the village gossip as presented by Miss Addie Farwell.

pick and pan, and the old-fashioned rock er With the modern improvements. in gold mining. there is scarcely a doubt but these mines so long neglected can be turned to profitable account.
 The gold bearing district of Alahama Is the extension of the Georgia system of gold mines, of which the formerly famous Dahlonega mines was the center. Here extensive mining operations were begun in the thirties. and such was the amount of bullion produced that a mint was established by the government to convert it into coin On the discovery of gold In California the mines of Geor- gia. as well as Alabama, were practical ly abandoned, and are only just now be- ginning to attract the attention of the enterprising miner.
 This gold bearing formation follows the trend of the Appalachians and enters Alabama in Cleburne county. It con tinues southwesterly tn ough Clay. Tai- ladega. Tallapoosa and Coosa counties, and ends with the primitive rocks in Chil- ton. In this formation there occur no less than four distinct veins, or strikes. in which gold is found approximately parallel with the mountain range Three of these veins are found on the south east and one on the northwest of the mountain range: all of which have been more or less tested, In some locations with profit. and in others with less sat- isfactory results
 In Cleburne Randolph. Clay, Talla- poosa and Coosa are found two or more veins. In Talladega. on.y the vein on the north side of the mountain occurs. This is found at the distance of a mile or ewo south from the edge of the slate hills. The vein is thin. and the gold is found chiefly in lenticular masses of quartz. and Is almost absolutely pure In quality. So far the mining portions have been super ficial. It remains to be shown by the future miner whether or not the vein will widen on deeper explorationss.
