 l make it to your order-send it to you you wear it. and If it doesn't satisfy you send it back to Inc and l will refund your money without question.
 That is the farest proposition ever made by a rupture specialist. The banks or the postmaster here in Marshall will tell you that is the way l do business-al- ways absolutely on the square.
 Here is what MT. James Britton. a prom inent manufacturer of Bethlehem Pa, writes:
 "C. k. Brooks. Esq.--Dear Sir: I have been ruptured six years and have always had trouble with 1t till 1 got your ap- plance. It Is very easy to wear, fits neat and snug, and is not in the way at any time, day or night. In fact, at times I did not know l had 1t on. It just adapt ed itself to the shape of the body and clung to the spot, no matter what posi- ton I was in. It would be veritable God-send to the unfortunate who suffers from rupture, if all could procure the Brooks Rupture Appliance and wear it. They certainly would never regret it. My rupture Is all healed up and nothing ever did it but your appliance. James Britton."
 If you have tried most everything else, come to me. Where others fail is where I have my greatest success. Write me today and I will send you my book on Rupture and Its Cure, showing my ap- pliance and giving you prices and names of people who have tried 1t and been cured. It is instant relief when all oth- CTS fail. Remember l use no salves, no harness, no lies. Just straight business deal at a reasonable price. C. F. Brooks. 1103 Brooks Bldg, Marshall. Mich

Executors of the Field Estate Not Yet
 Able to Determine Total Value.

Chicago, January S1.-The petition of the executors of the estate of the late Mar shall Field asking that his will be admit ted to probate was filed today with the clerk of the probate court. In the petition the executors declare that they are unable at the present time to state the full amount of the property owned in Illinois by MT.

final canvass takes place in March When ever the estimates show that there is more cotton to be ginned In a county or that the amount is insignificant, no final canvass is necessary. Possession of this information enables the census office to save from Ss00O to s12.0OO in the cost of the final canvass and that Is the only purpose for which these estimates have ever been used They are only approxi- mate and therefore possess no statistical value. For the director to make them public on his own 1olition at the demand of the cotton growers would be as im- proper at this time, as it would be to make them public at the demand of the cotton spectators If the demand hap pened to come from that quarter.
 Regarding Bale Weights.
 With regard to the publication of the census bale weights. to which Mir. Jor- dan also alludes, l can only say that the actual weights of more than 3,0O0OOO bales of cotton grown in 1905 have been se- cured by the census office and that addi- tional returns covering 2000OOO more weights are daily reaching the office. The computations necessary to secure correct average weights from these returns are enormous in amount and delicate in char acter. With our utmost energy we shall not be able 10 complete these computa- tons before the last of February. and yet l am daily in receipt of telegrams from the south stating that by Keeping back the weight of bales, l am enabling the spectators to rob the south."
 Director North concluded with the re- mark that " all these circumstances have caused me to pray that Congress might relieve me of this work"

 of importance May
 Come Up.
COUNCIL MEETS TONIGHT

Ensley, January 91.-(SpeciaL)-Col w. W. Shortridge today authorized the state ment that he is a candidate for the state legislature.
 In speaking of Colonel Shortridge's candidacy, one of Ensleys best known business men said: "Thls city ought to be represented at Montgomery. We have within a radius of three miles at least 30, GOO population. Ensley is the workshop of the Birmingham district. It's railway tonnage is enormous. Our local interests should be looked after by a home man.
 Colonel Shortridge has been asked for some months by all classes of our citi- zens to make the race. He will be em- phatlcally Ensley's candidate and he is sure of practically a solid backing from this part of the county. This prestige will greatly aid him in other localities, and we look upon him as winner Col onel Shortridge is one of the early set tiers in our city.
 Everything that makes for progress and betterment has his earnest support. He is of mature years, gentleman of fine education and a successful lawyer and man of affairs, He is a son of the late Judge Shortridge of Shelby county and Is also related to the King family. He comes of Alabama stock that has long been prominent in peace and in war in our state."

Washington, January S1.-Havlng taken notice of the criticisms upon his office by President Harvie Jordan of the Southern Cotton Growers association and others, Director North of the census bureau to- day declared he hoped Congress would relieve him of. all further work in con nection with cotton statistics.
 Ut is the most disagreeable and an moving work I have ever known" said Mr. North today. "These reports are got ten up for the benefit of the southern people, but they seem to be devoting all their energies toward diserediting them."
 A telegram from planter in Louisiana, received today, charged Director North with doing great injustice to south ern planters by keeping back the weight of bales and enabling a certain cotton speculator and his diabolical crew. to rob the south

No Lonoer Worth While.

In answer to the allegation made by President Jordan yesterday, Director North said: These cotton ginning re- ports were established by law for the benefit of the cotton growers, and 1 had believed they were effective to that end, but the reports of the growers, like MT. Jordan and J. A. Taylor. president of the Cotton Ginners' association, seem deter mined to do everything in their power to discredit the reports and destroy their value, and under these circumstances do not believe it worth while for Con gress to continue to appropriate s25O.0OO a year for the collection of the reports in the interest of the cotton growers when these men are dissatisfied with the result. No effort to show that the re- ports are incorrect, misleading or man ipulated has been successful. The methods of the office have been exhibited to grow CTS and closely serutinized by them and they have not found it possible to put a finger upon single error either in method or result. There has never been a leak from the census office since the system was established
 MT. Jordan now attacks the director because he refuses to deyiate from the regular methods of promulgating these statistics at the demand of private parties Any such deviation made upon the per- sonal responsibility of the director would necessarily subject his methods to sus- picion and would very improperly impair the public confidence in the integrity of his work. I have therefore declined to ac- cede to these requests unless directed by Congress to do so.

Council Meeting.

The regular meeting of the city council tomorrow night promises to be one ot the busiest held by that body in some time.
 The miscellaneous and judiciary com mittees, which met Tuesday night to consider the eradjustment of license taxes against certain corporations doing busi- ness in the city, will make report and some final action in the matter will have to be taken. All but two of the corpora tions have notified the joint committee that they would pay the new rate re- quired, but the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company has not yet made answer, and it is understood that the Southern Bell Telephone and Tele- graph company is dissatisfied with the flat rate of $2O0 assessed against that con cern.
 The rate In the new schedule was "a cents per telephone in the city The joint committee changed this to a flat rate of $200, and it is understood that this will amount to more than the original tax of 70 cents per phone.
 There is considerable speculation as to the final disposition of the matter by the council. The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company. having not made reply as to whether the tax of $2375 assessed by the joint committee, it is doubtful IS to whether they will ac- cept.
 Other matters of interest will probably be introduced, and it is expected that the meeting will be one of the longest and most interesting for several months.
