Cordova, October 1S.-(Special) )-Late yesterday afternoon Ed Pate stabbed and fatally wounded his cousin John Pate. John Pate was struck with the knife just over the heart. The doctors think he will die.

 It was rumored that if Ed Pate had been caught he would have been mobbed John Pate is d very prominent citizen Both men have families.

Paint AddsValue
 oProperty

For every dollars worth of paint-good paint-you put on your house, you add several dollars to its value, for the diff ference in price which property in good repair will bring over a shabby building is by no means measured by the actual cost of the improvement.
 In this calculation we have not included the insurance feat ure-the saving of the property from decay.
 Good paint looks well, pro- tects well, lasts well.
 There are many limitations of paint which do none of these things, yet cost as much or more than straight white lead and linseed oil, the best paint.

B. Conner: Boaz, Il a. m, October 9; Albertvlle, D. m, the same l day; High Point. Il a. m., October PC; Douglass academy, same afternoon at 3.

 Chairman J. Craig Smith and his assis- | tant, W. E. Fort, are busy on a long list | of speakers and dates which they will give out later in the week. MT. Smith said | today that the people must be urged to go | to the polls and vote. They think often | that with the ending of the primary their 1 obligation to the party nominees ends, but | this is not so, MT. Smith insists; they should go out and vote in the general elec- | tion.
 As a general thing the managers of the campaign think that the vote will be the largest in many years in the general elec- | tion, because of the fact that there has been developed a well-organzed opposi- ton on tn part of the republicans in the | state, as well in some of the congress sional districts. A special fight is to be made to reduce opposition to the ticket in l the Seventh district, which has been for some years rather hard one to hold down.
 l The senatorial district composed of Au- | tauga, Chiffon and Shelby counties is to 1 have attention, not much that the | party feels any fear of the outcome, but
 because good fight is being made by the | republicans.

 CARD UP SLEEVE2
Governor is Spending Few Days
 in St. Louis
HE HAS NEWSPAPER HOBBY
Loss to Louisville and Nashville By Recent Storm Not Confined to Actual Damage to Track
 and Other Property.

Montgomery, October 1s.-(Special.)- l. Gov William D. Jelks is spending a few days in St. Louis, resting and looking after some private business. and the pa pers of that city seem to be of the opin- ion that he has something up his sleeve. Several have wired here to know what he Is doing. It is understood that he Is there on no errand of grave importance. and that he will be back by the last CT the week in good shape.
 The governor has had a rather stren- uous time of 1t lately and made the trip largely to get a little rest. The incidents of the Mobile storm and the lynching troubles of the Gulf City left him pretty well used up and he has been on the go since that time too He will have to make a number of speeches next week, two or them at the Alabama Agricultural fair to be held in this city
 There is much speculation as to what Governor Jelks will do when he leaves the office of chief executive. He has not said vet what will be his occupation, other than to intimate on many occasions that he will re-enter the newspaper busl- ness. He made a snug little fortune at It before he went into politics, and it would seem that there is reason to believe that he would do better now.
 Heavy Losses to L. & N.
 Persons who do not know about such things can have no idea of the loss sut- fered by the Louisville and Nashville Rall- road company from the storm of septem- Der IS. As an officer of the road remark ed oIt was a Louisville and Nashville storm" The lines of that system south of Montgomery were worse hit than ever before. while competitive lines were not badly injured.
 The first loss resulting from damage will hardly ever be known itself. but that is only part the continued loss since by loss of business being enormous Be- cause of the track conditions to the south, causing trains to be late, immense toh- mage that would have gone by these lines have gone by others. New Orleans ousi- ness of great volume has gone by the Illinois Central and other systems, caus- ing the Louisville and Nashville 10 pc heavy losers.
 However, the damage is being repdlreo and the trains are getting back on time' and schedules are beginning now to oe made in the old time way.

Takinu Precautions.

The efforts of the City Council to force the Traction company to provide separate accommodations for the races is said to have deeper meaning than that of sim ply getting the whites and the blacks Tn different cars. It Is understood that 1t Is a precautionary move to keep down the possibility of trouble resulting from crowding and tanning in the cars at the coming State Fair. It is well known that the well filled street car is often a place to arouse irritation on the part of both races, and the council is reported to have foreseen possible trouble, which might be disastrous at this time and adopted the means to hedge against it.
 One hears that as soon as the fair Is over the ordinance will be amended to meet the conditions that exist concerning the supply of equipment and the ability of the company to keep the traffic moving It has been known from the first that Mayor Teague opposed the law, but as it has been passed, he has notified all con- cerned that 1t will be enforced. He is now awaiting an opinion from the. city attor- ney. The law undertakes to enforce sepa- rate cars for the races

The point involved in the case of Polk Drane vs. the Sheffield Steel and Iron company, now before the circuit court of appeals, is whether or not a father can collect dama ges from a corpor- atlon for the death of child when he has relinquished all rights to and control over the child. The son of Drane was killed in a mine of the Sloss company at Russell vile and suit brought for him. His father seems to have. before the killing, released all claims upon him.

Wanamaker and Advertising.

Milwaukee Sentinel.
"John Wanamaker has done
more to make advertising pay and
to help Philadelphia and New
York newspapers to get on their
feet financially than any other
man." was the remark of Phila-
delphia advertising man, James
McMurray, at the Republican
house. "Wanamaker was, years
ago, a firm believer in advertise
ing, and, instead of waiting for
advertising men to furnish him
with ideas, he turned out the ideas
himself.
"He keeps school of advertise
ing which is conducted much like
a city staff of a newspaper. Doz-
ems of young men out of college
are taken into the department to
show whether they can make good.
Each is assigned to look over a
certain department. and write ads
for it. These are submitted to the
head of the department for ap-
proval, and are then turned over
to the head of the advertising de-
partment.
"Wauamaker made Philadel-
phia one of the best advertising
cities in the east. His men were
taught, not to advertise 5 cent CAL
leo as marked down from 10 cents,
but to describe the quality of the
goods so carefully that a house,
wife would desire to go right down
to the store and put her hands on
it to learn whether it was as good
as claimed. New York papers had
never printed this kind of adver-
tising and many said it would not
work there. With slight modifi-
cations, Wanamaker adopted the
same course in New York when he
became buying newspaper space,
and he showed the merchants and
the advertising men that the peo-
pie want descriptions of what they
might buy"

The Democrats everywhere are
talking about "tariff reform"
They don't tell us just what it is
that needs reforming nor how
much tinkering, in their opinion
is necessary but they seem-confi-
dent that the time has come to
tinker and tinker they must and
will. They admit that things are
in pretty good shape in this busy
country of ours but profess to be-
lieve that if the tariff could be
tinkered at for few years by the
Democrats, conditions would be
very greatly improved. We ad-
nit that if the Democrats were
given an opportunity to do tariff
tinkering, considerable would be
changed, but changes does not al
ways mean improvement, a fact
that our friends seem to overlook
in their zeal to tinker at someth-
ing. There is nothing unusual in
the present attitude of the Demo-
cratic party. 1t has been tinker
ing party for more than 40 years.
1t doesen't do things. 1t only
tries to undo what has been done
by others. 1t doesn't build, but
tries to tinker with what the Re-
publicans have built. The people
I of the United States like people
who do things. They don't have
much faith in the people who al
ways tune their fiddles but never
play and Democrats will discover
on election day that the voters
prefer to let well enough alone.
This is not tinkering country
and tinkering party will never
amount to much on election day.

Captain Chas A. Bogardus, fa-
nous as a rifle shot, has invented
a smokeless powder and organized
a stock company here that will
establish a plant for its manufac-
turer. A banker is back of the
movement and stock to the amount
of $4,000 has already been sub
scribed. Bogardus has secured
letters patent on a machine for
making the powder and cartridges
which is to have a capacity OF
$4,000 cartridges daily. The in

powder that it is far superior to
that used by the Japanese durin Z

Comfort for Smokers.
Ieslie's weekly.

Lovers of tobacco in its various
seductive forms who has been at
times trifle conscience smitten
by reason of the alleged deplora-
BILE effects of the tobacco habit
upon the mind and body, should
henceforth be able to smoke their
pipes in peace. Since no less an
authority than the London Lam
Get. the foremost journal of the
medical world, has risen up to de-
clare in the most deliberate, and
positive way that tobacco SIN oke
contains an appreciable amount
of formaldehyde, one of the most
powerful of antiseptics and germ
killers. 1t is because of the pres
ence of this chemical agent in to-
bacco smoke that users of the
weed are largely immune, it is
said, for certain dread diseases of
the throat, lungs, and nasal pas
sages. The reasoning, which
seems to be quite conclusive, is
that the smoke passing through
the mouth and nose, effectually
disposes of the microbes constant
ly deposited there, and thus sup
plies the needful ounce of preven-
ton for many diseases. While
one part of formaldehyde in 10000
parts of water is sufficient to de-
sbroy all bacterial life, the amount
of the poison found in tobacco
smoke is SO infinitesimal that it
has no injurious effect upon the
human organism.
