THOMPSON IS WROTH
MAN TALKS OF IMMI-
 GRAFTON BILL.
Expresses Surprise That Measure Should Be Opposed By Alabama Dee
 pertinent of Agriculture, Which He Criticizes.

Huntsville, Jan. e--( Especial. Drank J. Thompson, Chairman of the Immi- grafton Committee of the Alabams Commercial and Industrial Association, in an interview. replies to the criticism of certain officials of the Alabama De. pertinent of Agriculture. who have ta- ken stand against the enactment of bill to create State Bureau of Im- migration.
 Considerable surprise was occasioned here over this matter and some re- sentiment is felt. North Alabama Is keeniy alive to the necessity of bring. ing in more labor, for farms as we'll as factories.
 MT. Thompson was shown a state ment sent out in connection with the announcecent of opposition from the Agricultural Department at Montgom- cry, that he was candidate for the new position of Commissioner of Inl- migration, should 1t be established. Mir. Thompson replied:
 "One has to go away from home to learn the news. was appointed by the State Association to do a specific work on which that body had unani- mously agreed, and I simply performed the work to the best of my ability, and with no other thought than to do the duty assigned me, and a service to my State. Sac s
 Tt was known that I had been, for the past ten years, engaged in the, work of bringing farmers into Ala bama, and this. suppose, was the sole reason for my selection as Chairman of that special conmittee. My firm has brought more immigrants into Ala bania within the past few years, than the Department of Agriculture has dur ing Its entire career. In fact. there has been but one Commissioner, within my knowledge, who has rendered the State any practical service in this di- rection, Commissioner Kolb, who some years ago really did advertise the States advantages very extensively, and from which there were possibly some practical results.
 "I am astonished at the announced opposition from the Department of Agriculture at Montgomery, as no one had thought of interfering with that Department in any way. The great cry from all parts of the State is for labor This is loudest from the farm CTS themselves. and it Is beginning to be accepted as true that this can be ob- tained only through foreign immigra- ton, and 1t is likewise known that this can be obtained in a practical way only by the State itself, as evidenced by the recent work of South Carolina and other States, which, by the recent de- cision of Secretary Strauss of the De- partment of Commerce and Labor, is shown that they have a right to do.
 ''No one has any authority for sup posing that I was acting in this mat ter other than in the performance of my duty, and for the best interest of the State. However. feel deeply grate- full for the complimentary expressions of appreciation and confidence that have come to me through. the press and numerous other sources"

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it is in
 Preserving Health and Beauty.
Costs NothIne to Try.


 Nearly everybody knows that char coal is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature. but few realize it's value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of It the better; it Is not a drug al all. but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present ries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking. drinking or after eating on- ions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectuallY clears 1nd im- proves the complexion 1t whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels: it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another. but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuarts Charcoal -4ozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form ur rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being Liked with honey.
 The daily use of these !ozenges will soon tell in a much improved condl ton of the general health, better complexion, sweeter breath nd pur- CT blood. and the beauty of it is. that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but, on the contrary great benefit.
 A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the benefits of charcoal. says: T ad- wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to al patients suffering from gas in stom. ach and bowels, and 10 clear the com. | plexion and purify the breath, moutt and throat; I also believe the live1 is greatly benefited by the daly us, ! of them: they cost but twenty fv, cents box at drug stores and al 1 though in some sense a patent prep aration. yet I believe I get more an, | better charcoal in Stuart's Charcoa I.ozenges than In any of the ordinar, | charcoal tablets

VANDIVER ASKS LAWMAKERS
 FOR FAIR APPROPRIATION

diversified agricultural operations than almost any other State in the union. Practically one-half of our population Is either directly or indirectly engaged in farming interests. and about the same proportion of our entire popuia- tion is so investet Therefore, tnls class of our people should be helped Tn every possible manner Any movement which would tend to place the tlIling of the soil upon a higher plane ana up- on a more businesslike basis, will un- doubtedly benefit the entire common wealth. By fostering care or our az riculturaI interests. our rural districts can be made more attractive, and there would be less desire on the part or the high minded, honest country youth to leave the farm, as is now the case We want the young men to take an in- terest in farming, stock raising, etc.
 Would Encourage Agriculture.
 "The Legislature of Alabama repre- sents largely the rural districts. large percentage of your constituency is composed of those who are engaged in, or dependent upon agriculture An appropriation such as we seek VIII pen- eft them more largely than any other movement could possibly do. This money will go back to the people or the State. and at the same time serve to cause them to put forth more in- telligent effort in their Worh ny eh- deavoring to be successful in securing one or more of the attractive prem iums.
 we would wish this money to be at all times in the hands of the State; that is to say. there should be com mission appointed consisting of the Governor of the State. the Commission CT of Agriculture and the president of the Alabama Agricultural Association, they to appoint the judges. upon whose warrants of award. the money Is to be paid out. The association does not wish to handle this money. They are not trying to put their hands into the Treasury of the State; the commission is to control and handle every dollar. They should be charged with the duty of selecting the judges for every de- partment of the fair. which pertains to farm and orchard products, live stock and poultry as well as domestic science and art. The books and vouch- CTS of the commission should be audi ted annually by the State examiner after each fair is held. Thus the State would be responsible for, and direct the payment of every dollar appro- priated.

 all the way through the live stock and other departments. For instance, in- stead of offering $50 for the best stall lion, we should offer for the first pre- mium $250; for the second, $150 and so on, the same relative proportion with cattle sheep, hogs etc.
 It would be advisable to also offer liberal premiums for daily products and domestic science and art.
 Wit hthese attractive premiums, fully two-thirds of the counties in the State would be found competing for the pre- miums. This would, of course, increase the interest in every class of product and iG would cause an era of agricul- tural development which nothing else could do. The same thing would ap- ply to the individual competitors. Their efforts in this competition would dem onstrate to them the practicability of applying more scientific measures in connection with all their operations, which would largely increase the earn ing capacity of the farms and the con- sequent productivity of the soil.
 Asks for Endorsement.
 'Doubtless you are familiar with the work being done by the other States in this direction. There seems to be a general movement throughout the country to lend aid to, and be of some assistance to, the farming interests, and many States are making appropria- tions just such as we are now asking; others are preparing to do the same thing.
 "This Association expects to present, in more dtailed form. to our legislative bodies, its reasons for asking and ex- pecting such an appropriation, and this letter Is simply to ask that careful thought and consideration be given the subject pending it's presentation in the form of a bill.
 We trust that you will realize that it is to the interest of your constitu- ents, and also to the State large, to give your hearty support and endorse ment to this measure. We know, from the canvas we have made, that it meets with the enthusiastic approval of the larger majority of our agricultural people. The object of our Association Is to aid the farmers in every way possible. and we feel sure this method will bring greater results in the way of higher agricultural development than anything else.
 Respectfully,
 w. F. Vandiver,, President"

The Railway and Marine News has the following description of the Copper river steamer Chittyna. which was designed and built by Joe. Supple, of Portland:
 In order to get over the worst places a capstan, operated by steam power, will be placed on the for ward deck and spar derrick is attaL he'd to the forward .nd of the cabin.
 This derrick is intended sim ply to handle the spars. put tlns them ip. place for opera ton. Should the boat get stuck on q bar, these spars are used to help the boat over in exactly the same manner as Q person lying fiat on his face on the floor might hitch himself along with his two elbows, this, together with the ac ton of the wheel, forming a heavy suction to draw the sand from un- der the hull, enables these boats to actually pass over bars, which have several inches less water than the boat draws. Then, to, all the main timbers, together with the planking. are made in one contin uous piece by attaching the buts together by straps so that the hull can actually conform itself, to a certain extent. to the contour of the bar"
