End Il Not Yet.

According to the astrologers. the
world was to have come to an end on
September 16, 1856. They had observed
with awe that at sunrise on that day
there would be q conjunction Of all the
planets in Libra and no doubt the argu-
ment was that such . collection would
be altogether too much for the balance
of the universe. When It arrived, Sep
TENDER 16 proved to be q very ordinary
twelfth century day. In 1924 astrology
plucked up courage.to try again. This
time there was to be q universal deluge,
on the strength of the meeting Of three
planets IN the sign Of Pisces, and pri-
vate Noah's ark was actually built for
the occasion BY q devout believer at
Toulouse. The year 1924 proved to be q
period Of drought. Chicago Daily News.

Xxx ~ Fowls. q l31 53ss

When constructing poultry house
for the farm flock, the main point to
be observed is to secure as much
floor space as possible at the least
cost The real value Of structure
Of this nature depends mostly upon
the floor area for the use Of the fowls,
says L. G. Reynolds, in Orange Judd
Farmer. The greater space in pro.
portion to the number Of fowls, the
better opportunity they have to exer-
else and keep in healthier condition

BEN DeLEMOS IS OUT OF PRISON;
 RETURNS TO LOWNDES COUNTY

Ben De Lemos, the once picturesque Republican leader of Lowndes County is back on Alabama soil. He has sat isfled the violated law of the United States and he goes back to Lowndes County to pick up the broken thread of his life.
 Ben De Lemos fell into the tolls of the Federal law because he juggled with pension warrants. He was con victed of pension frauds and sentenced to term of Imprisonment in the big Federal prison at Columbus, O. He was a model prisoner and he won ev- cry minute. of time that is taken off sentence for good behavior. He was released last week. He spent yester- day in Montgomery erl route to Lowndes County.
 De Lemos was the most noted pris- oner in the Federal penitentiary. His strange history, how he came to Ala bama a ragged. and barefooted Union soldier at the. close of the war how he rose to power upon the votes of the negroes in reconstruction daysahow he gathered wealth as well as power from his influence over the negroes was ex- plotted in many of the Northern pa pers.
 Not the least interesting feature of his prison life was his sensational of- fer to give a bond of $50,000 if he was permitted to leave the prison and attend the reunion of the Grand Army of the Republic. This. of course, was refused. It will be recalled that De Lemos, after his conviction, was given ample time to Ego about and settle up his business affairs before his long ab- sence in prison. The Federal authori- ties permitted him to go to Columbus by easy stages and as he willed. De Lemos said yesterday that the last man he bade goodbye before entering the prison was the late Senator Mark Han ma at his Ohio home.
 De Lemos is in better health than he was when he entered the prison He was given easy tasks by the au- thorities and allowed all privileges that A prisoner could have. He ex- plained that one reason the papers de- voted so much space to him and why they treated him so kindly was that he was placed in charge of the distrib- ,tton of all the news at the prison. The newspaper men in visiting the prison always reported to De Lemos for the prison happenings.
 De Lemos Is far removed rom want He has sufficient property to spend his remaining years in ease in Alabdma.
 DeLLemos will remain in Montgom-

 T have been touched" he said, by the cordiality with which I have been received in Alabama, my home. l thank God that I have been spared to come South again and will live, die and be buried here My homo. looming has been saddened, however. by the re- hinder that some of my dearest and truest friends have passed from life during my absence"
 The Columbus (ohiol Evening Dis patch of Oct. 13 said:
 Ben DeLemos. who was released from the penitentiary Tuesday, after serving forty months as a federal pris- oner for forging pension voucher, and who spent the past two days and a half visiting friends in Columbus, will leave for his Alabama home Thursday evening.
 During his confinement in the big State prison DeLemos was regarded both by officers and convicts as man Of exceptional character. Probably few persons have Left the institution with the good will and respect of the inmates as we'll as the management fol- lowing them that travels in the wake of DeLemos
 By nature of congenial temperament and by profession, an attorney, De- Lemos was instrumental in securing the release of prisoners devoid of . finances. including a number of Federal prisoners. carrying their cases to the attention of the board of managers and the State Board of Pardons.
 Though afflicted with epilepsy and eligible to confinement in the hospital ward. DeLemos assumed the duties of a clerk in the plant for gas and elec- tric light, regarding its interests as he would his own. He enjoyed many special paroles by reason of his con- dition of health, but never betrayed a trust.
 Speaking of discipline and treat ment of prisoners DeLemos stated to a Dispatch. representative Thursday that 1t was up to the prisoner himself to get along we'll.
 DeLemos appreciates the duties in- cumbent upon both deputy wardens and guests, but insists that discipline may be enhanced by wedding out those who manifest their incompetency, among other ways. by displaying favoritism among the prisoners. Do not permit the penitentiary. said DeLemos, to be- come a dumping ground for political incompetents.'

 Many so-called pile remedies will af- ford the user slight temporary relief. and the majority of those afflicted do not expect more than this.
 The average sufferer, after having tried every preparation recommended for the cure of piles, comes to the con- clusion that there is no cure except by an operation, and rather than undergo this Hast resort" he suffers on, resigned to. the situation. 90 far as maybe. The attention of those interested is invited to the following experience.
 After ten years of suffering from blind. bleeding and protruding piles. and after using every remedy I could hear of without any benefit, I finally bought a fifty cent box of Pyramid Pile Cure. and used 1t with such good results bought next a dollar box, which fn- ished up the job. That was nearly six years ago. and as far as piles Is con. cerned am cured, and have never felt a symptom of them since.
 Many others have used this rem edy by my advice, with the same re- suits, and I always recommend 1t to sufferers with piles. c. H. Potts. Burlington. Kans.
 Testimony like this should convince the most skeptical the Pyramid Pilc Cure not only cures. but cures to stay cured. It is in the form of supposl- tory. can be applied in the privacy of the home, directly to the parts affected. and does It's work quickly and pain Iessly.
 Druggists generally sell this famous remedy for fifty cents and sufferers are urged to buy a package now and give 1t trial tonight Accept no substi- tutes.
