Opportunities
In the South.

No portion of the United
States has made greater
progress in the last year
or two than the South.
Northern and foreign cap
1tal is rapidly invading
that section. finding prof
liable investment in the
various industries and
factories that are being
rapidly developed and
built The great influx OF
settlers is creating an in
creased demand for lands
of all kinds and prices
are gradually advancing,
as they will for years to
come. Work is plentiful
and poverty practically
unknown Alabama is
supplying coal and iron
to all the world. More
money can be made and
with less labor in the
raising of small fruits
and berries and in truck
patching on the Gulf
Coast than in any other
state in the Union. Straw
berries from Alabama
reach northern markets
before those from the
states in the southeast.
Cattle can be raised with
great profit, there being
millions of acres of cheap
range lands. If you are

McLENDON IS REMOVED
COMPASSION OF LuvERNE JUS
 TrCE OF PEACE REVOKED.
Governor Jells Says he Transcended His Authority--Factional Con- troversy in Crenshaw County
 Will be Intensified.

Governor Jelks yesterday revoked the commission of J. C. McLendon as Jus tice of the Peace at Luverne
 It will be remembered that some time ago the attention of Governor Jeiks was drawn to charges made by H. J. Brooke, Editor of The Crenshaw County Critic. published at Luverne, that Justice Me- Lendon had committed gross errors in the conduct of his office. As result of these charges T. J. Rutledge, Assistant State Examiner of Public Accounts, as the personal representative of the Gov ernor, went to Luverne and made an examination of the office of Justice Mo Lendon.
 Mir. Rutledge made an informal report to Governor Jelks, the nature of which has not been disclosed. It Is presumed that Justice McLendon's commission was revoked because of the report made by Mir. Rutledge.
 Governor Jelks merely said he had re- voked the commission of Justice McLen- don because he had information that the Justice had 'transcended his authority. '' He added that no further information on the subject would be given out
 It is understood from & reliable source that Justice McLendon is not accused of having been guilty Of corrupt prac- tices but that 1t was ascertained that he had assumed jurisdiction in cases wherein he was legally without author ity.
 The removal of Justice McLendon in- tensifies the bitter controversy between the two political factions of Cr@lshaw County. The mouthpieces of these fac- tions are The Crenshaw County Critis, of which H. Y. Brooke is editor, and The Luverne Journal. of which Justice McLendon is editor.
 Recent editions of these newspapers have been filled with most bitter lan- guage. The Critis charged tho Editor of The Journal. Justice McLendop, with be- ing corru6t official and the Editor of The Journal was bitterly sensational in his denunciation of the Editor of The Critic.
 The removal of Justice McLendon will be mater of absorbing interest to cit- izens of Crenshaw County.

CHILD LABOR PERILs.

When the elder Cato said ''The stomach hath no esrs'' he could not have forcseen its pertinence to the chronic destitution of the parents who send immature children into the mills and factories in. some of onr states. GniId labor nas increased m she factory States until it now amounts to more than 8 per cent of the operators ih some localities. Mrs. Macfadyen. whose tnvestiga tiCns cover an extended area. writes: "'I know of babies working for cents day. In one region found near ly 600 children in seven mills who were under F years of age" The problem in- volved in this economic outrage has deep W aroused the sympathies of all labor unionists. After prolonged agitation leg feiation has been effected giving mini mum age for the child serf at which it would be permitted to work. In every case such legislation has been set aside by the courts on the ground that It in- terfered with the freedom of contract" in the law these children are described technically as infants and have no pow CT legally to make binding contract.- New York Herald.

THAT PosToFFIcE ANNEx.
Work to Begin on Federal Building
 Next Week.


 Representatives of Guide and Walker, contractors of Atlanta. Ga. are in Mont gomery preparing for the breaking of ground for the building of the addition to the Montgomery postoffice.
 Mir. Walker, of the firm, said yesterday that work would begin on the annex Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.
 We have had no little trouble and lost no little time securing the material for this buildiIig." said Mir. Walker. ''Al- though the specifications provide for only the best material, 1t has to conform in shape and apearance to the material in the original building. This has delayed the beginning of work a number of weeks but we will make a start Tuesday or Wednesday,"
 Mir. Walker will not remain in Mont gomery altogether during the progress of the building. He will be represented here by a superintendent, who will arrive early next week. The contract calls for the end of next year as the time for the com pletion of the annex. but MT. Walker hopes and Is confident that the annex will be completed long before that time. The Governments end of the work will be conducted by F. l.. Douglass of the Treasury Department. who Is now In Montgomery and who will remain here until the building is completed

LET THE NECK BE FREE.

All GXCHdHkG HAS IftG IbAfOWtnHs
 Since Paquin, Doucet' and our leading importers Of fashion have decresd It. wo- mems necks may be tree for little. Even brief experience of this freedom have been sacrificed by 5conrining necks in high, stlm, tight collars or stocks.
 A magnetic motion wave that is born in the breast has hard work to pass unbrok- en through a tightly collared neck to cx- pression in head and face and hand
 This obstruction is usually the first in- terruption that natural normal grace en- counters. With this first interference the Dody's unity of mobility Is h9mpcred and deranged and all motion Is thereby Jisor- dered.
 As the plainest or the prettiest flower is pi sttier for having stem, So every face is prettier when it's relation to It's neck Is evident. Long necks and short necks, Nike other iong and short stems. all have their peculiar Illnesses and advantages, and there is no neck but can be more prof1t- ably utilized than destroyed.
 The decorative treatment of the neck may artisticaily be anything that does not interfere. with ies texture. its outline relation to the face. head and shoulders,
 Tine art value of the relation of neck and shoulders to the head and face has been waliantIy championed for evening dress; but. aiack-a-day. if the neck is bound and imprisoned all day long it IS rendered incapable Of serving creditably ct ni@htg During its hours of bondage O4u AADhNS OI uAuNtOh OA tttAAAAODlhty formed and the muscular formation at8d the exture of the skin suffer deteriorutlon
 The neck and head lose their sensitive, vigorous responsiveness to motion prompt ing. Instinct, after being too often thwarted and defeated, loses its initiative, and abnormal mannerisms of stiffness and awkwsrdness soon become habitual
 From ugly motion habits such bad form results as heads poking forward or droop- ing weakly upon crooked necks.
 The muscles of an imprisoned neck have no chance to develop roundly. and the skin withers and wrinkles and discolors from want of exercise and from impaired circulation.
 Tight. high collars have cost many wo- men not only comfort and the beauty of outiire and texture of a normal neck, but the crowning grace of their bodies every motion as well.
 High. stiff collars should feel uneom- fortabie. whether they do or not-and they would feel so if the normal use af the neck were habitual. Bondage of the neck becomes intolera ole as soon as muscular freedom and the highest expressIonaI beauty of motion and form become sstab- lIshed standards.
