County Tax Assessors this year are
listfng cotton for taxation and all
holders OF the staple will have no en-
cumbrances whatever In the campaign
now being waged for higher prices al
over the South.
There are many articles of property
exempt from taxation" said Judge
Carmichael yesterday, but perhaps the
following IL more important to the
+ people OF Alabama at this time tnan
any other: Provided, that cotton and
other agricultural products and pig
iron shall be exempt from taxation IN
the hands of the producer. or IN the
handsxof d purchaser, purchasing the
same for prompt shipment, and PIG
iron shall be exempt for twelve months
after its production.
The Auditor In this was quoting from
the revenue code of Alabama. the
I special act OF the code making these
exemptions was passed by the Legis-
lature OF 1859. 1t is seen that cot
ton can be held forever SO far as State
taxation 10 concerned and there viii
not be any efforts to make assessments
on the. staple while the growers hold

Assessor last year In the State was at
tempting to levy q tax on the cotton
belonging to the farmers Of his Coun-
II when he received immediate orders
from State Auditor Sowell to follow
the law as laid down In the statutes.
Since the farmers have become very
familiar with this admirable feature OF
the exemption laws there has been nc
fears on the part of the holding cam

Auditor Carmichael said yesterday
that ne had become aware of the fact
that many old soldiers entitled to PEN
sions under the Alabama pension law
have been left of the rolls this year.
He said he IL powerless. to- add any
names and suggests that the next Leg
islature viii look to the passage of a
bill modifying the present law.
Despite the due care that was exer-
cised by the County Boards of Exami-
ners OF applicants for pensions and
also Of the State Board of Examiners"
said Judge Carmichael yesterday, "a
number of persons have been left of
the pension roll. This is to be regret
ted by all our people. for all of them

Veterans. Nevertheless, the State Au-
ditor is without power to go behind the
action of the State Board and these

KILLS GERMS OF CATARRH
Hyomei Goes to the Root Of the Dis
ease and Makes Astonishing Cures.

Catarrh cannot be cured by the use
of pills, liquid medicines and socalled
system tonics. Under such treatment
the germs of the disease will still live
In the air passages and increase and
multiply.
Hyomei is the only scientific and
thorough way to cure catarrh. Kill
ing the germs in the air passages, 1T
enters the blood with the oxygen, de-
stroys the microbes in the blood and
effectually drives from the system all
traces of catarrhal poison.
Thousands of testimonials have been
given as to the astonishing cures made
Mrs. LIE Rendu, 76 Western avenue,
Cleveland, Ohio, writes: 81 believe
Hyomei saved my life: / am better
now than 1 have been in thirty years:
Many doctors, both in England and
France, treated me for catarrh, but
I was not cured until used Hyomei. -
Probably the strongest evidence that
can be offered as to the powers of
Hyomei to cure catarrh is the fact
that Voegeli Bros. Drug Co., cor:
ner Hennepin and Washington avs, and
corner 7th st and Nicollet .av, will
agree to refund the money If you say
Hyomei has not cured you.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but $1.OO, consisting of an inhaler
dropper and sufficient Hyomei to last

in ordinary cases, but for chronic and
dsep-seated cases of catarrh, longer use
may be necessary, and then extra bot
ties of Hyomei can be obtained for 5Oc
