RETURNS FROM WEST E. M. WILLIAMS ON WAY TO
 WETUMPKA. He Located in Arizona Twelve Years Ago and Has Been Successful.
 Talks of the State-
 hood Bill.

E. M. Williams of Clifton. Ariz.. accompanied by Mrs. Williams. is in Montgomery en route to his old home in Elmore County, which he left twelve years ago to seek his fortune in the West.
 MT. Williams Is a member of one of the we'll known Williams families of Wetumpka and the surrounding country that is as prominently identified with Eimofe County as the name Eimore itself. He is . younger brother of Hon. Arthur E. Williams. one of the delegates of Fillmore County in the last Constitutional Convention.
 has himself been in public life and served a term as Speaker of the House of Representa- tives of the territory.
 Mir. Williams left Elmore County for Ari- zona in 1891 to tilt with fortune in the practically new country. The step brought him fortune, prominence and Hast but not least |" says Mir Williams. his wife.
 He is now superintendent of mercantile in terests of the Arizona Copper Company. This industry, says Mfr. Williams, is becoming the leading industry in the territory. In the dis triet around Clifton are four well-established into the business immediately.
 Speaking of the statehood bill now before Congress, Mfr. Williams said that the people generally and the politicians are anxious to see Arizona a State. but the mining and com mercial interest hold the Dill in disfavor on account of the increased taxation resultant from the territory's becoming a State.
 ''No, Arizona is no longer wild and wooily," |" said Mfr. Williams. We have fearless sherinfs and deputies in the territory and those who want to be bad have more respect for their personal welfare and peace of mind than to attempt to be lewiess. I think the bad man and the six-shooter have about disappeared from Arizona"
 Mir. Williams was glad to see Montgomery in its improved condition He said he had driven over the city and was pleased to see the place. which seemed 50 like home to him, apparently prosperous.
 Mir. and Mrs. Williams and Hon. Arthur E. williams who met his brother in Montgomery, will leave Tor Wetumpka this morning.

the Baldwin County court house question. which decision pracitcaHy ends the mat ter and gives to Bay Minette the county seat, was received by the Bay Minette people without much evidence of surprise. Though 1t was a hard fought legal battel in which the south end of the county was arraigned against the north end. there is now little or no personal feeling among the citizens Over the question. Since the court house was brought here. the town has gradually but steadily built up and the population has more than doubled. The latest public Improvement is the building of a handsome new church by the Presbytertans. The contract haa been let and work has begun.
 The County Commissioners, while in session this week. passed resolution. tnstructing the sheriff to erect a fence ten feet high around the county jail, which has not been inclosed.
 Among the other business transacted was to grant authority for a public toll ferry across the Perdido river which divides Baldwin County and Florida, the persons to whom the charter was issued having already received a charter from Florida.

Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is to- ward preventive measures. The best thought of the world is being given to the subject. It is easier and better to pre- vent than to cure It has been fully demonstrated that pneumonia, one of the most dangerous diseases that medical men have to contend with. can be pre- vented by the use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always results from a cold or from an attack of influenza (grip), and 1t has been observed that this remedy counterncts any tendency of these diseases toward pneumonia. This has been fully proven in many thousands of cases in which this remedy has been used during the great prevalence of colds and grip in recent years, and can be re- lied upon with implicit confidence. Pneu- monia often results from a slight cold when no danger is apprehended until it is suddenly discovered that there Is fever and difhculty in breathing and pains in the chest, then 1t is announced that the patient has pneumonia. Be on the safe side and take Chamberlain's Cough Rem- edy as soon as the cold is contracted, It always cures. For sale by all druggists.
