SECRETARY OF STATE
HEFLIN'S NOMINATION MAKES
 OFFICE VACANT.
Governor Will Appoint His Successor and Several Persons are Sugges- ted for Place at the
 Capitol.

During his stay at the capitol yester- day previous to his departure for New Mexico a large portion of the time of Governor Jelks was occupied in giving interviews to candidates for Secretary of State and their friends.
 The appointment of a successor to Secretary of State J. Thomas Heflin will be called for by his election to Congress from the Fifth District. MT. Heflin has received the Democratic nomination which is equivalent to an election. He will be formally elected for the short Congressional term on May g. About that time it is thought the Governor will name Mir. Hefin's successor. In the meanwhile a number of prominent Ala bamians are busily engaged in securing endorsements and in arousing the activity of their friends.
 Candidates for the honor. who saw Gov ernor Jelks yesterday were General James B. Stanley, of Greenville; General w. W. Brandon. of Tuscaloosa and Frank N. Julian of Colbert. Several of the friends of these and other candidates also saw the Governor. The Governor has not said Tt what time he will make the appointment.
 Among those who are either applicants for the place or whose names have been mentioned in that connection are: Gen. eral James B. Stanley, the veteran editor of The Greenville Advocate; Colonel W. W. Brandon of Tuscaloosa, AdJutant General of the National Guard: Frank N Julian of Tuscumbia. twice clerk of the House of Representatives and Secretary of the last Constitutional Conven- tion; Hon. John F. Proctor of Scottsboro. and a member of the last Constitutional Convention; c. E. Brooks of Fort Deposit; A. c. Sexton chief clerk in the office of Secretary of State and Ned R. McDavid, Deputy Insurance Commissioner.
 At the capitol yesterday it was said that neither Mir. Sexton nor MT. McDavid had filed a formal application for the place and that it was positive both of them would not be applicants.
 Mir. Julian was defeated for Secretary of State by MT. Hefiin only by a close vote and in his solicitation for the vacan- cy he has put forward the fact that at the polls he was the choice of a large number of Alabama Democrats.
 The salary of the Secretary of State is s1, 800 per annum. Several of the gentle men whose names have been mentioned have better positions from a monetary viewpoint.

Facts About the American Indian's
 Healthy Hair.

tactS ADouI the Amer1can 1ndtan'E
 Healthy Hair.
 The American Indian accustomed from time immemorlal to go bareheaded in all kinds of weather Is never troubled with falling hair or badness.
 The close atmosphere caused by our civilized head-gear is conducive to the breeding of infinitesimal germs which dlg into the scalp and thrive on the sap of the hair-root
 This true cause of badness Is of recent discovery and explains the non-success of all hairvlgors which treated badness as a functional disorder.
 Newbros Herpicide Is a direct exterui- nator of the germ. Tt destroys the cause and permits the hair to grow as nature intended.
