FERTILIZER BILL UP
COMMITTEE MEASURE TO BE IN-
 PRODUCED EARLY.
Prohibits Use of Efllers and Requires GuanO to Come mp to Guaranteed Analysis, or Need Not
 be Paid For.

The bill prepared by the special com- mittee of the Legislature which in vestigated the fertilizer business in Alabama during the recess will be in troduced today in which the use of ''fillers' so called will be forbidden in Alabama.
 The bill will further provide that if the guano in a sack does not come up to the analysis guaranteed on the outside of the sack, the purchaser will not be required to pay for 1t. Such will be the result of the work of the fertilizer committee of which Senator NJ. L. Leith of Walker county, is the chairman. t .si7.
 The bill prepared by the committee will contain two important features, first making "fillers'' unlawful In any guano sold in Alabama and, second. providing that the contents of every sack of guano must come up to the guarantee published on the outside of the sack
 It can therefore be seen that the bill will embody the most far reaching fertilizer legislation proposed in Ala bama in recent years.
 It is not known. that the Depart ment of Agriculture will endorse the bill In fact itis believed that the department will be a bit afraid Of the bill on the grounds that it will ma terially decrease the amount of money coming in from the sale of tags.

Lead ing members of both the House and the Senate will pay tribute to the abfl- ity, the integrity and the character of the Speaker who was called from his
 labors in the zenith of his powers.
 There seemed to be considerable un-
 certainty in the 1obbies of the hotel
 last night as to the program to be fol-

 Henry E. Gray was among the early
 legislative arrivals and the other lead CTS seemed slow in agreeing on def mite program. s@s.
 The chief fear of the members was as to the fate of their local bills. There was more uneasiness over the prospect for local legislation than over any oth-
 CT single feature of the coming ses- sion. Most of the members were go- ing about looking for assurance that they would have a chance to pass their local measures.
 The reliable intimation that the Governor would sign the bill repealine the tax OH WOHey lOdhcu III got about in the hotel last night and cleared up that situation wonderfully It was taken for granted that the in- formation was correct that the Cover nor would no longer oppose 1t, If a
 majority of the members of the Legls- lature favred 1t. sIa.ss-t.,s The members took Interest, too. in the report that the Governor would recommend in hts message thai the present law on immigra- ton be repealed. The Governor

A Bold Step.

To overcome the well-grounded and reasonable objections of the more lntei' ligent to the use of secret, medicinal com. pounds, Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, ~. Y, some time ago, decided to make bold departure from the usual course pursued by the makers of put-up medicines for do" nestle use, and so has published broad: cast and openly to the whole world, q full and complpte list of all the ingredients entering inSs-the composition of his widely celebrated hedict6es. Thus he has taken his numerg1s patrons and patients into his full Confidence. Thus too he has re- moyedhisHhedicines from among secret nostrkmSof doubtful merits, and made themk kRemedtes of Kn0t0n Composition.
 By this bold -step Dr. Pierce has shown tKaf his IQrmulas afe of such excellence tbat he IS not Rfrald to subject them to the e.HlIeSt ScrutlQY
 Not only does the wrspper of every bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the famous medicine for weak stomach, torpid liver or biliousness and all catarrhal diseases wherever located. have printed upon it. tn pldttl En0hsh. Q full and complete hst oI aii book has been compiled from numerous standard medical works. of all the different schools of practice. containing very numer- ous extracts. from the writings of leading practitioners of medicine, endorsing tfl the strongest possible terms. each and every ingre- dient contained in Dr. Pierce's medicines
 One of these little books will be mailed free to any one sending address on postal card or by letter. to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo. \; T.. and requesting the same. From this little book 1t will be learned that Dr. Pierce's med- icines contain no alcohol. narcotics. mineral agents or other poisonous or injurious agents and that they are made from native, medici. nal roots of great value; also that some or the most valuable ingredients contained In Dr. Pierces Favorite Prescription for weak. nervous. over-worked.

ANO0lHUOt0 IT'D" u-NBc ohest They had evidently forgotten their feelings of last winter. for their pleas- ure at the renewal of the associations of the winter session was too plain to be unnoticed. Friends had been made. congenial companions had been found and the member who does not natural 1y love the associations of a legisla- tive gathering is out of place when he comes to a gathering of the Legisla- ture.
 Many Members There.
 In the bustling smiling hand -shak- ing crowd last night there were such nrominent members of the upper House as Senators Thomas. of Barbour: Black mon. of Calhoun: Merritt. of Macon; Bayles. of Monroe; Miller. of Jefferson; Teasley, of Montgomery; Hayes. of Limestone; Reynolds of Bibs. and oth- CTS.

 The massive figure of Senator John H. Bankhead loomed up in the hotel lobby crowd and again he seemed the center of interest. The Senator ex- pressed himself as being perfectly sat isfied with the situation. He was con fiient that there would be no opposi- tion to his election and that the yer dict of the primary would be carried out. He several times expressed the oDiniou that no other na,ne would De nTesented than his when the time came for voting.
 He had with him his sons. William "a. Bankhead and John H. Bankhead. IT.. bofh of whom have served terms in the Alabama Legislature. and both of whom are recognized as able poiit- fcaI fieutenants of their father.
 And not far away was the tall and portly figure of former Congressman Jesse F. Stallings, greetingN his friends and discussing his prospects in the Senatorial race.
 Another prominent figure was that of former Congressman Sidney J.. Bowie. Two Birmingham judges were in the gathering. Nesmith and Green. A dozen or more legislative clerks helped to swell the proportions of the gathering that crowded into the lobby of the Exchange on hot night.
