With the sales of the past ninety days amounting to thirty two thousand, five hundred and siXty-three dollars, the Plant Juice remedies are still command ing the greatest demand ever known for a patent medicine in this district.
 Of the above amount the platform opposite the Majestic theatre has sold a little over fifteen thousand dollars worth of the remedies and the follow ing letter from Doster Northington speaks for itself:
 Col. Frank A. Dillingham;.
 Dear Str-We take pleasure in ad- vising you that since you have been in Birmingham advertising the Plant Juice remedies we have handled about 12,S3O worth of your remedies. This business was done during the months of May, June and July.

 DOSTER- R-NORThINGTON.
 By M. P. NORTHINGTON treasurer.
 Outside of the jobbing trade and that of the platform in this city 1t must be remembered that five or six other plat forms have been advertising the reme- dies all over the district.
 At Besesmer alone Fulton Bros. have sold over thousand dollars worth of the medicine, while an equal amount

 WRITES A LETTER
Col Frank Dillingham; Receives Remarkable Statement From the Wholesale Druggists Retail Men Consider Plant Juice Their Best Seller, and Thousands of Bottles
 of the Remedies Have Been Sold

was disposed of at Ensley by Averyt Drug Co.
 The platforms have also disposed of immense quantities of the Plant Juice remedies, and the shipping orders filled direct by Colonel Dillingham; figure conspicusly in the grand total of sales. There does not seem to be any let up in the demand and this month promises to break the formerj records.
 A casual visitor to the platform op- posite the Majestic theatre would be surprised to see the immense throngs which congregate every night, and would never believe that the same plat form has been operating with out a break for more than three months.
 It Is easy to get testimonials, as in the crowd there are always men of good standing who unhesitatingly en- dorse the Plant Juice. Anoth CT re- markable feature of the medicine is that the results are of such q nature that they instil considerable confidence in the people who use them and who do not hesitate to speak for the reme- dies whenever the opportunity arises.
 Inc platform which Is advertising the medicine in the mining camps is now at Sayreton near North Birming- ham, and the crowds there are im- mense. That platform will visit every camp of importance in the district be- tween now and the winter, and the campaign is to continue until the reme- dies are thoroughly advertised after which a similar campaign is to be in- augurated in Montgomery, Mobile and Selma.

MR, JULIAN TALKS
 ON LEGISLATION Believes Government By Injunc- ton Threatens State REVIEWS RAILROAD LAWS Believes Alabama, With Its Enormous Tonnage, Should Be Treated as
 Other States By the
 Railroads.
REVIEWS RAILROAD LAWS

Tuscumbia, August 17.-(Special.)- )-"Dur- ing the past two weeks the people of Ala bama have awakened to the fact that the state Is threatened with government by injunction. which Is obnoxious to a free country and it is difficult to believe that any corporation would carry an issue so far to bring about serious conflict between the state and federal authori- ties," said Secretary of State Frank N. Julian, who is at home this week visit ing his family and mingling with friends.
 "Alabama's new railroad laws are fash | toned to some extent after those of other states, and l believe that if these laws work equally elsewhere that Alabama, admittedly ono of the best revenue pro- ducers for the railroads, should be given the same treatment as other states"
 The secretary of state, when asked what effect the action of the Southern in agree ing to put into effect the reduced passen- ger and freight rates would have with the other railroads entering Alabama, said;
 1t is my opinion that the railroads, with the exception of the Louisville and Nashville, will follow the action of the Southern, the Frisco and Alabama Great Southern, and give to the people of Ala bama the benefits to be derived from tho 2k-cent passenger rate and the no article commodity freight rate laws pending de- cislon of the courts on these laws. The Southern railway blazed the way for a compromise, and 1t seems foolish for oth- CT roads to refuse to emulate the example of the Southern. Governor Conner has fully carried out the pledges of the dem ocratic party and it's platform on the is- sues of the last campaign; his fight against the corporate domination of the state has brought down on his head bit ter denunciation by the corporations, but those who know the governor best real fze that his fight is being waged for prin- ciple, and his course has the endorsement of majority of the people of the state"
 License Cancellation.
 What about the cancellation of the Southern railways lcense?" was asked MT Julian
 Owing to the prominence given by the press to the cancellation of the South ern railways license naturally some mis- statements were made concerning the ac- ton taken. To understand the situation 1t will be necessary for you to read the law Senate bill No. S6), touching the question. Under this law all foreign and nonresident corporations are required to pay $10 per annum for a license to trans act business in Alabama The provisions of the law make all actions of such corporations null and void unless such license is secured

any foreign corporation removes case from a state court to a federal court the clerk Of the state court must certify that tact to the secretary of state who shall immediately cancel said license Tho clerk of the Talladega circuit court cer- tined the fact that a case had been re- moved and thereup l carried out the law. certain papers consistently insisted that the charter of the road had been revoked and that the franchise had been taken away from the company when only a license, commonly called permit to do business had been cancelled. A vio lation of law is subject to certain pun ishment, and in this case certain pen altes were provided. and no doubt would have been enforced but for the com promise"
 Work of Session.
 MT. Julian. when asked his opinion of the work of the recent legislature, as compared with other bodies of the kind in Alabama, stated that it was as fine a working body as had ever before as sembled in Montgomery. and that the measures it enacted were along the lines demanded by the people. of Alabama last November when Governor Conner received a handsome majority
 The recent legislature, he said gave more money than ever before 10 the com mon schools, universities and Auburn school and Montevallo school for girls, and has made it possible for the estab- lshment of a high school in every coun- ty in the state. It also provided means for the coABtruction of country school houses thr"ugnout the rural districts of Alabama, and made the largest appropria- ton for old soldiers ever before made.
 The tax commission law is another sood measure, which will equalze the burdens of taxation among all alike. Another good law enacted was that providing far the establishment of q sand orium for tn" examination and treatment of tubercular patients
 Temperance legislation needs no com mendaton," said Mir Julian, "as better laws and more laws along temperance lines were enacted by the recent legisla- ture than ever before, and that it is only a question of few years before Alabama will follow Georgias example for proh- bition"
 In fact, the antiwhisky people, he saya. got everything they asked for. and could probably have secured the passage of a prohibition bill had they insisted on 1t. There are a few of the more important measures, together with the railroad bills, now tied up in the courts, enacted by the legislature whose work was of the best and highest order and which will be ap- preciated by the people of the state at large.
 Mir Julian is of the opinion that a spe- cial session of the legislature will be called by the governor within the next six or eight months. but when asked for what purpose or purposes declined to say.
