LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Free Passes.

Free FaSseB. Editor Advertiser.
 I have just finished reading the mes- sage of Governor Conner to the Legis- lature. l quote one of his recoInmen- dations:
 Free Passes.
 'I recommend that enactment of laws imposing adequate penalties on com mon carriers or public service corpor- ations for the issuing of free passes Of every character, and the rendering of person or persons except actual bona iide employers, and members of their families;
 And I further recommend that prop CT penalties be imposed on any person or persons accepting any such passes or free services issued or given by said carriers or public service corporation"
 l suppose man should pass by a burning trestle or bridge of a railroad, and should stop and put it out, or notify the proper authorities. thereby saving loss of property and perhaps of life. would not the railroad compa- ny have the right to show their appre- citation Of the deed by giving said per- son free pass?
 Or suppose, when a new road is be- ing built. person should give the railroad the right of way through his property and the railroad should wish to reciprocate by giving a pass over its road. would it not have the right to do so.
 l contend that the rail opds have free if they wish. and there is no au- thority under the constitution to pre- vent them. The other day the rail- roads transported the National Guard free to and from Montgomery. Under the proposed law, they could not do it. But l do not believe the Legisin' ture will pass such law, for in my opinion it would be unconstitutionai entirely unjustiiaDle ana ought to stop. sehe&.

ONE WOMAN'S
 EXPERIENCE
How Health in Alter Years May
 Be Safeguarded.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills a Boon
 to all Women.
Used to Keep the Blood Rich and Pure They Will Pre- vent Much Suffering and
 Subsequent Misery.

As a woman approaches the ageNof forty or thereabouts. she should pay particular attention to her health. The hard work. which she may have been accustomed to do and the worry and excitement of her daily life should be lessened or avoided as much as possi- ble.. As her health after she passes this time will depend in a large meas ure upon it. every woman owes 1t to herself to build up her health during these years. It is absolutely necessity that the blood be made pure and rich, thereby enabling. all the organs of the body to perform their work regularly. For this purpose Dr. Williams Pink Pills have long been recognized as the standard medicine, because of their great blood building and tonic proper ties.
 The case of Mrs. Hannah A. Lozier. of 1151 Michigan Avenue, Detroit, Mich. we'll illustrates what has just been said. Mrs. Lozier is a member of the Auxiliary of the Masonic Engt< neers and of the Pullman Relief Corps and has held high office in each. The authenticity of her statement may be absolutely relied upon. She says:
 T began taking Dr. Williams Pink Pills about four years ago, after had been suffering for some years from dizzy spells and nervousness which were brought on by overwork. I tried several medicines without help and all the time became more irritable, ner- vous and weak At times had no ap- petite and could eat nothing. At in- tervals of every two or three days my heart seemed to rise up in my throat and would have to lie down until the feeling passed away. I also had dull, aching pains under my right shoulder and across my back. When I looked up would see black spots. Occasion ally I would become so dizzy that I had to steady myself to keep froT faIl- ing.
 T read that Dr. Williams Pink Pills were a blood purifier and builder. decided to try. them. After I had taken them a short time the dizzy spells became less frequent and finally stopped. took them until seven box es of the pills stopped the dizzy spells. was entirely we'll and I now feel like a new person altogether"
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are adapt ed for diseases due to impure blood and shattered nerves. They are invalua- ble in anaemia, rheumatism, after-ef-- headaches, dizziness, and even partial paralysis and locorhotor ataxia.
 A valuable booklet entitled fPlain Talks to Women% will be sent free, in a sealed envelope. upon request to any woman interested.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists or sent, postpaid, on re- ceipt of price. 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50. by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schnectady, N. Y.

ALABAMA SEATS oF covERNMENr.

ALABAMA SEATS OF GOVERNMENT.
 Probably few of our readers would call to mind on the spur of the mo- ment that there have been five places in Alabama where territorial and State business was transacted. St. Stephens, in Washington. was the seat of gov- ernment of the Territory of Alabama under act of Congress March 1st. 1877. The territorial Governor. wm. Wyatt Bibb, entered upon his duties very soon after the act was approved. The first session of the territorial Legislature assembled at St. Stephens January 19, fSiS. and the second and last one at the same place in November, 1918. This Legislature established Cahaba as the capital of the territory but as Cahaba was virtually a wilderness. Huntsville was named temporarily until Cahaba could be given some shape and form for habitation. The convention which framed Constitution under which Ala bama was admitted into the Union as a State met in Huntsville July 5, 1s1s. A general election which selected State officers, Legislature, etc., was held soon afterwards and the members elected met at Huntsville october 25, 1919, and Governor Bibb, who had been elected Governor. was duly inaugurated. The Legislature adjourned December 1s, iS19. Everything above noted took place prior to Alabamas admission as State, except what was done after December fl to December 19. The seat of government was transferred to Ca- haba in 1920, which had been desig- hated as the capital--thence 1t was changed to Tuscaloosa and then to Montgomery. Territorial affairs were administered from two points and State affairs have been conducted at three different places. It has been here since 1S46 and here it will remain.

THE PENSION BUSINESS.

When the pension business for Union Army soldiers first commenced MT. Garfield. who. was then a member of the House, said it would never exceed s5o,00o,o0o annually. He lived to see it more than double that amount, and 1t now reaches three times that figure Recently there has been hope express ed that high water mark had been reached, and that there would be con- siderable reduction in appropriations on that score for coming years. When we realize that there are today three widows of revolutionary soldiers on the pension roll and scores for the war of 1s12-15, and still more for the Mexican war, we can form some idea of the great burden which will have to be borne for many years to come in the way of paying pensions for soldiers of war which closed little more than forty years ago, to say nothing of those connected with the Spanish American skirmish. The number who will draw pensions has greatly dimin- ished, but the hope of reduction of bur Qen ndS U6CH u1SilCd NO AhV B. " the almost certain passage of what is known as service pension law. It has already passed the Senate and there Is not much likelihood of its de- feet in the House. It will add proba- bly, $15,0Oo,OoO a year to the aggregate appropriation for pensions. which is al- ways about to be reduced but is for ever increasing. The service pension has been advocated ,in Congress for many years. More than quarter of century ago Mir. Holman of Indiana tried to secure its enactment It seems to be one of the inevitable results of the pension ssytem that at some date all the survivors of the Union armies shall be pensioned. If this bill becomes a law all veterans of the Mexican or the 1S61-65 war will receive SIP a month on reaching the age of 62; S15 on reaching the age of 70, and $2o at 75.
 Go to figuring if you want to find out when pension paying on these items will cease.
