 YER NOT A CANDIDATE.
Says That He VIII Not go Before PeO- pIe For Any State Ofice-- More Political
 Gossip.

Hon. W. H. Sanford. of Troy, will not be a candidate for Lieutenant Governor nor will he be candidate for Attorney General. He will not be a candidate for any State office.
 An authoritative statement wes brought to Montgomery yesterday by d friend of his who has recently had a conversation with MT. Sanford. This statement effectualIy disposes all gos- sip which has connected Mir. Samfords name with nne or more State offices. The exact words of MT. Sanford .n disposing of his gossip were T will not be a candidate for any State office"
 This wording of Mir. Samford's state pent, however, has raised the query, has he an intention, remote or near, of running for some other position? Those who take an especial interest in politics appear to attach some sig nificance to the wording of MT. sam lords declaration.
 Whatever other effect his statement may have it disposes for the coming campaign any further talk of Mir. sam tenant Governor or Attorney General There has been persistent talk of his probable candidacy for both places. Mir. Sanford is strong lawyer, Q good stump speaker, and he has a wide acquaintance throughout Alabama. He would take a strong following into any campaign. n4 Ets
 His announcement leaves the fight for Lieutenant Governor to Hon. Henry. B. Gray of Jefferson county and Hon. Daniel Meador of Marengo, with a possible third entry in the person of Hon. Emmett o'Neal of Lauderdale.

CONSUMPTION
I. it Inherited and Can It be oured'


 Many of our leading scientists are spending much time in the study of this great white plague and find that more cases are caused by neglect than are hereditary.
 Neglected coughs and colds grad ually weaken the whole pulmonary system. and before people realize 1t there Is a diseased spot in one lung. splitting blood soon follows and event. ually a collapse.
 Our local druggist. F. G. Fowler. says there Is nothing known to medicine equal to their cod liver oil prepara- ton, Vinol, for consumption. especial ly in It's early stages. and while they do not guarantee it will cure real con- sumption they have many letters from who declare they were saved by Vi- mol.
 Among others. Mrs. J. c. Brown, of Anderson, Ind, writes. Our daughter Mary was in consumption and given up to die by our family physician. vi- mol completely restored her to health, and words fall to express our grati- tude for this valuable cod liver oil 
 MT. Joseph Dennis of Wintlow, Me, says. "Vinel cured my son of con sumption after he had been given up." We believe Vinol is the most per feet cod liver preparation known, as It contains no grease to clog the sys- lem. upset the stomach and retard its work. yet 1t does contain all the cura- i've, medicinal and bodybuilding ele- nents of cod liver oil actually taken rom fresh cods' flyers, and Is accepta- ,le to the weakest stomach. It is worth rying on our guaranteed. E. G. Fowl .r. Druggist.

Mir. o'Neal has had nothing positive to say. Of his possible candidacy. but his home papers have been discussing 1t at some length.
 Mir. Samford's statement leaves the race for Attorney General with only one entry in 1t. Hon. Alex Garber of Taliadega. While the campaign is yet young, no other candidate against Col. Garber Is looming up. It will be re- called that four years ago he was in the race against Hon. Massey Wilson. the incumbent and a second primary was necessary before a nomination was made.
 And out of East Alabama there came yesterday the almost authoritative statement that Mayor Charles Hem derson. of Troy. would be 0 candidate for Railroad Commissioner. or course there has been no little gossip as to Mir. Henderson's probable candidacy. as the talk of it never came straight until yesterday. In all probability almost beyond n doubt Mir. Henderson will be a candidate.

 The progress made by Los Angeles during the past ten years in wealth and development has been rapid beyond ex- pectation. It Is one of the best adIer- tised cities in the world by reason Of yoeman service done by a loyal local press and Chamber of Commerce. which latter body counts the dollars expended in announcing Los Angeles to the globe at three hundred and fifty thousand It has made reputatiois for wonderful forwardness and rare enterprise. quarter century ago the poulation of Los Angeles was little over ll,0e0. It's present growth to the 100000 tally is but commensurate with the United states census record. which shows that Los Angeles. from 1890 to 1900, made the largest percentage of increase in population of any city in the country. Thfee reasons obtain for the marvellous expansion of Los An geles along all lines: first. accessible typographical position; second, uncom- mon climatic equity; third, abundant fertility of soil.
