unselfsh and fearless patriot. He would never accept public office for emoluments, but at several crises in the history of his state and county he has been drafted into public office by his fellow citizens.

I stood this pain, which was dreadful, for six months, and during this time l was not able to wear a shoe and not able to work.

The consequences were l bought . set of the Cuticura Remedies of one of my friends who was drug gist, and the praise that l gave after the second application is beyond description it seemed a miracle, for the Cuticura Remedies took effect immediately. washed the foot with the Cuticura Soap before applying the Ointment and took the Resolvent at the same time. After two weeks treat ment my foot was healed completely. People who had seen my foot during my illness and who have seen 1t since the cure, can hardly believe their own eyes,"

OATES PRESENTS NEW TREE

Montgomery, February 9.-(SpeciaL)- Dr. Thomas NJ. Owen commander in chief of the United Sons of Confederate Yet erans, has returned from New Orleans, where he spent several days looking into arrangements for the reunion of the vet erans and the sons to be held there in April. He reports a splendid trip and that the Crescent City has raised S75000 for the entertainment of their guests during that time. It is expected in New Orleans, Dr. Owen says, that there will be more visitors in the city at that time than ever in the history of any southern city, and that more veterans and sons of yet erans will be on hand than have ever at tended a reunion.
 The arrangements for the entertain ment of the sons are in the hands of Camp Beauregard. u. s. C. ", No. 190. Several meetings were held while there. On the night of February confer ence was held in Memorial hall, at which Dr. Owen made an address. Speeches were also made by several local gentle men. The whole ground of the prepara- tions was gone over. On the night of the 7th a banquet was given Dr. Owen by the local camp of sons, to which it was thought Capt. Will T. Shehan of Mont gomery, adjutant general of the con- federation, would lend his presence. as well as the commander in chief. but he was kept away by his newspaper duties. However, the menu caJSls showed the following wording: Banquet rendered the commander in chief, Thomas M. Owen, and adjutant general Capt. w. T. Shehan, by the United Sons of Confed- crate Veterans, Camp Beauregard, Mo- 130 at the Old Hickory, February ', 1906."

Favors old Men.

Hugh Morrow of Birmingham was in the city today, having come down to look into an application for rehearing in the case of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company vs. w. J. Randall, in which the company was held by affirmance of a lower court decision to be liable for damages in the sum of $13O00. It will be recalled that the action of the supreme court was based upon a ruling concerning the filing of bills of exception which was not complied with In this case.
 While here MT. Morrow discussed with the governor the action of the supreme court in holding that the law creating the inferior court of beats A and 37 Jef- ferson county, Is good. He was told by Governor Jelks that if it Is held that the court Is good, as now seems certain, he will appoint as the two judges H. B. Abernathy and l. H. Benners, who were elected to the places. This will give all who have any idea of asking for the places notice that the mind of the execu- tive has already been made up. It has been the policy of the office all along to name the men for office who have in any way been selected by the people,

Parsons Lands.

After long fight the nomination of Erastus J. Parsons of Talladega to be United States district attorney for this. the middles district of Alabama, was con firmed by the Senate yesterday after noon.
 He will arrive In Montgomery on Mon day next, and will qualify and take charge of his office. MT. Parsons Is a grand son of the late ex-Goy. Lewis E. Parsons of Alabama, and Is an honor graduate of the University of Alabama.
 The delay In the confirmation of MT. Parsons nomination, t is understood, was caused by the fact that he was ac- cused of being "a young man.. So was William Pitt, England's great commoner, when he was made Prime Minister of England, at the age of 27 years. Also. that he was 'carpetbagger," in that he re- sided outside the limits of the middle district, although he is a native and cit izen of Alabama.
 The administration of the office of dis trict attorney for the middle district of Alabama has been entirely satisfactory under Warren s. Reese, Jr., of Mont gomery. He also, is q young man, and can look back with pride at his eight years of service to the people, as well as the government. He will continue the practice of law in Montgomery
