THE OLD AND NEW WAY Some Important Facts Which
 May Prove Helpful.. - -

Thirty years ago old-fashioned cod liver oil had to be forced down pa tient's throat. Invalids couldn't take it, and children wouldn't. But the doc- tors prescribed it, and it had to be taken by force. Yet 1t cured people where enough could be taken into the system, for it has ever been the great est of all tissue Builders and general reconstructors known to medicine.
 We are now anxious to have every one know that Vinol is new form of this very old and valuable remedy, con- taining in a concentrated form all the medicinal elements of cod liver oil, ac- tually taken from fresh cods' hvers, but by an attractive and concentrating pro- cess it is made without oil or grease, and it is as delicious to the taste as fresh orange.
 Vinol does not upset the stomach like old-fashioned cod liver oil and emulsions; it's strengthening and heal ing properties are remarkable, and both doctors and patients are delighted with It's action.
 Many wonderful cures right here in Montgomery. Ala, have been effected by it's use, and we ask all of our cus- toners to try Vinol on our guarantee to return money, every time it fails to make rich, red blood. increase the ap- petite cure stomach troubles, give strength and renewed vitality to the aged, rundown. tired and debilitated' or cure chronic colds hacking coughs or bronchitis.

mR. nRrAN,s DECLARATION.

The declaration of Mir. Bryan that he will accept the Democratic nomination. for President, if offered him, is tan tamount to his saying that he wants 1t. He has made. extensive journeys, cov- ering the entire Union. in the past year, and has pretty well learned the sentiment of the party. Based on that knowledge comes his declaration of willingness to again bear the stan dard. This in our judgment, settles that matter, for it cannot be denied. whether wise or otherwise, that he is the choice of a greater proportion of members. of the party than any other man who has been suggested or who will be proposed between now and nominating time.
 As we have often said, for reasons not now necessary to repeat, Mir. Bryan fn not our choice for Presidential can Aidate, but, believing that his nom- snatIon is as certain as any future event can be. we see no good to come from any further efforts towards se- lecting another. We had all better hunt up those things about which we agree and present solid front. than to parade questions which provoke aiscord and i'll will.
 No matter, whether or not his friends refused to a large extent to support Judge Parker in several of the States in 1904. This has been repeatedly charged, notably as to Missouri, but that. is a thing of the past, and the effort should now be to induce those who do not like many of his pronounce ments to take him on account of those things with which they jdo agree.
 He has warm and enthusiastic sup porters in every State of the Union, and in the present condition of the public mind will have an aggressive force of hard working Democrats ev- .erywhere behind him.

OplnIons on PafceIs Post.


 Postmaster-General Meyer has asked the Commercial Club to secure and for ward the opinions of some of the busi- ness men of the city relative to hfs plan for extension of the parcels post system. If our business men can give time to considering the matter, each one of them will have a definite opfn- ion either for or against.
 To make the general proposition clear, a liberal extract from the ad- dress of MT. Meyer delivered at the banquet of the New England Post masters Association. October 12, ls07 explaining his idea, is given:
 Two interests are opposing the ex- tension of parcel post in this country the express companies and the country retail merchants. The latter fear that the mail-order houses will derive benefit to their own disadvantage. It is in connection~swith the country re- tail merchants that desire to speak especially.
 T propose to reco'rmend the estab- lishments of q par. el post on rural routes whicn will meet the obJections of the small storekeepers and retailers. This will be boon to our rural popu- lation. and to the storekeeper. as the larter can receive his or iers by matI or telephone and despatch the desired
  farmer will be saved from 1itchlng up his horse and losing the time he needs for planting or harvesting his Icps, and 1t will enable the storekeeper 10 increase his sales and meet the re- quirements of modern trade.
 If my recommendations are adopted it Will cost 12 cents pound for the mail-order house to send parcels 10 the rural delivery patron from any city from the distributing office of the rural route, or if mailed by a patron of any rural route for delivery to patron on the same route, or at the distributing post office of said route, the charge VIII pc but cents for the first pound and, 7 cents for. each additional pound up to eleven pounds, or 25 cents for a pack age weighing eleven pounds.
 'In Germany the small storekeeper has not this advantage in competing with mail order houses, but he has adapted himself to the situation, and in many instances has become the agent fin his town, thus supplying the people with goods which 1t is impossi- ble for him to keep in stock without a great outlay of money.
 T am also considering the advfsa- bility of recommending local parcel post delivery at city free-delivery post offices, but in order to install such system it will be necessary to obtain from Congress a special appropriation to acquire wagons and automobiles 70 do the required hauling. As already stated. there Is a parcel post existing in the United States today. but at 2 rate of 16 cents per pound and hmit of four pounds"
 ssThe object of my recommenoatlon .o C.onrress will be to get a decrease that will, meet the rates charged for 'nareals sent by post to other countries. fn other words, reduction of cents a pound, and an increase in weight which will compare in some measure to that which has been adopted py other highly civilized nations

To Await Developments.

The late Zebulon T. Vance told q story of a traveller in the rural dis7 tricts of North Carolina Who stopped drink of whiskey. He bought two drinks and gave one Io an elderly colored citizen who was in the store at the ttime and then waited to see whether the. dram would Kill the col. ored man before taking his own drink. The desire of business people throughout the land seems to De 10 await developments before going any further. Many of the States have en- acted laws reducing passenger rates which may be legally charged oy railroads to cents. 1-4 cents or l-2 cents a mile. In every case, we De- lieve. the railroad companies have pro tested vigorously against this reduc- tlon, and the vlgor of their protests and the gloomy forebodings ot ruin which railroad officials have made pub- lie have no doubt contributed Iarseiy to the depreciation of stocks. At all events the sentiment of thoughtful. responsible business men seems 70 oP- pose any further legislation az this time which is hostile to the ral4roeds

 At a called meeting of the Ministers Conference, of Mobile; held this six teenth day of November. 1907, thirteen members of the conference being present, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted and the secYetafy was authorized to send Copy to the Senate, to each of the daily newspapers of Mobile, to The Montgomery Adver- tiser and to The Montgomery Journal:
 Whereas, it has been reported in Montgomery by Dr. Harry T. Inge, that the Ministers Conference. of Mobile, Is against statutory prohibition in'Ala- bama, and
 whereas. at recent meeting of this conference the subject of Statutory and Constitutional Prohibition was discussed and the sentiment expressed was unanimous in favor of both; and
 "whereas, the Ministers Conference, of Mobile, is fully persuaded that state prohibition would contribute to the moral and commercial welfare of the whole state; therefore,
 Be 1t resolved:
 '1 That the representation of the attitude of this conference toward the statutory prohibition bill now pending before the Legislature of Alabama, Is absolutely without foundation in fact.
