BY WILL T. STEPHAN.

At Demopolis for the first time 1 met fl political issue in an embodied form.
 The political issues l had known were intangible and evanescent. Ihey were etherial and spiritual. They were summoned as a medium would summon the spirits from the vast deep and thelr creator CT exorcisor would be the medium between them and the world, herald of the greatness of the feeting, Intangible which for the time being would appear all powerful and all nm portant. The true political issue, through its medium or exorcisor, would appear to have as many charms and as many powers as the 'cunjur" bag has for the true plantation negro. ,
 It has been source or no little wonder to realize how swiftly and how completely the most omnipotent of these political issues disappears when the scare is over. No matter now much a political issue has been paraded and exploited, 1t vanishes like the mist on the mountain on the day aiteF the election.
 But here was m issue in a material form. Here was an lSsue tnat was was of the substantial and not or the shadow. It was & real issue an em- bodied, not disembodied. issue.
 It was the big stone and cement lock which the government Is ouilding m tne Warrior River near Demopolis. rms lock is one of series of fourteen that arc to be built along tho Warrior River. These locks are to give & uniform 6eph of feet to the Warrior from the coal fields in North Alabama to tide water in South Alabama.
 This lock and other locks Tn the War rIor River attained the dignity or an issue in the race for Congress between Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson and Congressman John II. Bankhead in the Sixth District. From an internal i'm provement they jumped so the dignity of an issue.
 What HobsOn Said.
 The charge was made, so 1t is said, bv Captain Hobson that the locks which had been put in the Warrior River were snares and delusions and too smell for any practical purposes. The Captain, it is said, intimated that they ought to be blown up with dynamite and locks big enough to do business put fin in their places. The inference from Captain Hobson's remarks on thls particular subject in that heated cam, paign was that the man who would stand sponsor for such cheap tom locks ought not to be sent back to Congress.
 Whereupon the veteran Congressman, aguratively speaking threw up his hands in horror. He pointed out that the government experts who had plan ned the locks and who knew thelr pusl = ness staiKed their professional reputa- ton on the size and the reliability or the Warrior locks. He intimated that the man who would entertain the thought of committing so great an act of vandalism as blowing up the LOCKS was not stable enough nor well beloved enough to represent any district in cnnsrass. He pointed out that the

The Great Majority

Of the American people use stinln- lants. Why? Is it because the brew CT or distiller are good fellows and to show our appreciation we got to drink up all they turn out, or is it for so- ciability's sake? The same may be true of the latter to a certain extent as our sociability is unquestioned es- pecially in Europe as last month we received with open arms 4S,OOO Of them. I wish they would all come and have a smile with me. But the great majority of Americans use stini- ulants, because as all nations admit that we are the braioS of the world and hard working brains require food, and the greatest brain food is little stimulants. Show me any brainy man and you'll show me a man that uses stimulants; for instance, the inven- tor (of which we have many), the di- plomatist. the general. the admiral. the preacher; in fact Ned Murphy, the great temperance advocate, was repu- ted of using little of the brain elk ir, not forgetting the man with the shovel and the hoe. He not only uses it for his brains but also for the sin ews. Speaking about brains and sin ews reminds me of stimulant which we carry in stock at our store. some thing that I cannot speak of too high ly, something that strengthens the bone and sinew. something mothers use to make the baby's strong and healthy. something the old and feeble use to forget their age and infirmities, something that everybody should use if they want to be strong and healthy, something within the reach of all- Our Old White Port Wine, 15 years old, $500 per gallon, Toe per quart; delivered to YOur home.

are drinks that should never be over looked. and we don't think they are by good, sensible people. That reminds me. the other evening friend of the writer of this ad asked him into place to "have something" When asked what he meant by having some thing" he said, "Why, have anything YOU wish to drink" "Well, will you pay for anything I call for?" and his answer was Certainly will Ihefe- fore we walked in and stood before a highly polished counter When asked what was going to have called for a cup of good, nice tasting tea me man behind the counter almost col lapsed and my generous friend turned all the colors of the rainbow. But when the man behind the counter ..came to- he said he had soda, ginger ale. root beer. ales, wines and liquors. Well I suppose if he was grocery clerk and I called for one dozen clothes uins ne would inform me he had some salt herring, pork or linn burger cheese.
