tive candidate Is conscious of any act
of his which will not bear the. close
scruting Of his political opponents he
would Letter get out or get a gun.
The above is supposed to BE- from
the pen Of Mr.. Walter Edmund Har-
ris. the Washington correspondent of
the Time Dispatch, who beng In
Washington and coming in close as
sociation with Mr.. Glass; no doubt
gets his views of Mr.. Glass position
and intention from that gentleman
hiself. If This represents Mr.. Glass
position. which we hope it does not.
his campaign will evidently be differ
ent from that OF MIR. Tucker. as re-
Gently outlined by him in his Lees
burg speech. 1t will no doubt be diff
erent from that described by the other
candidates. Mcssrs. Duke, Mann and
Stuart. We presume it win also be
diff rrcnt from that described by the
voters of the state.
I'VE see no objection to any proper
criticism of the political record or
absence of record. of any candidate.
since public men who offer for public
Office should. in large measure. he
judged by what they have done. or
what they have failed to do. in public
life. but public abuse is objectionable.
and we bclievc nauseating to the
more respectable element of voters:
Further still. we do not believe any
candidate who inaugurates a cam
paign of mudslinging and abuse will
receive the approval or support of the
right thinking people of the state,
either at thu time in question. nor at
any other period.
However, If the sentiments and in
tsntiOns of Mr.. Glass arc properly re
flected in the above quoted special.
we dare sa? he will be accompanied.
We suspect criticisms in this case
would extend TO records as i.rivato
citizens as well as records and non
records Of public acts. While not
writing for nor in the interest of any
of the candidates mentioned in con-
nectiOn with the office of governor,
and while having always cntertained
a high personal and political regard
FOR Mr.. Glass. If he Is pinnc for this
kind Of campaign let him begin the
fray, and what the voters will do for
him at the close of the campaign Will
place him where the little boy was
that got run over by the calf.

Prattyille, February 22.-(Special )-The county democratic executive committee will meet here on the 29th to decide upon plans for the primary to be held this year. In all probability the 18th of May will be fixed as the time for holding the primary.

eoId Erom the ocean Sands.

From Shasta to San Diego, all the way along the sh ores of the Pacific ocean tn ere is gold in the black sand which, for the greater part of the length of the state. underlies the gray and yell low sand of the beach. This has been known to mining men for score of years or more, but ever since they found it out they have been completely baffied in all efforts at getting 1t. So writes Harry IA. Dunn. in the Technical World Magazine for March
 The values in the sand are low, not more than 25 cents per ton, and the sea wa ashes heavily over all manner If structures which are set up on the beach to separate the sand from it's gold. These were the two principal obstacles to be overcome: To find q machine which would withstand the storms of winter and the tides of sum rer. and, at the same time, be delicate enough to draw the gold from the black mass of the beach.
 At last, however, the riddle has been

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is In
 Preserving Health and Beauty.
Costs Nothing To Try.

Nearly everybod knows tnaA charcoal is the safest and most efficient dislnIect- ant and purifier in nature. but few req lize it's value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose
 Charcoal is remedy that the more you take of it the better; it is not a drug at ail but simply absorbs the gases and im- purities always present In the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating on- ions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and im- proves the complexfon, it whltens the teeth and further acts as a natural ani eminenty safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach ana pagels ir 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 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered wi!- low charcoal, and other harmless anti septics in tablet form or rather in the form of large pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in much improved condition of tho general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty Of it Is that TO possible harm can result from their continued use but, oa the contrary, great benefit
 Buffalo physician, In speaking of the benefits Of charcoal, says: T ad- wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomacn and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat l also believe the liver Is greatly ben efited by the daily use of them: they cost but twenty y-five cents box at drug stores, and although in some senso d patent preparation, vet I believe l get more and better charcoal in Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges than in any Of the ordinary charcoal tablets.

Half price, or near it, in many cases less than cost, prevail at the E. b. Forbes Piano company's store Monday morning. and when 1t is taken into consideration that this house carries. beyond question: the most. complete stock of highest grade and expensive pianos in the south, we predict, at prices named, that the bargains offered will last only few days.
 THE REASON.
 Our warerooms are crowded from top to bottom-the stock now on hand and more coming in cannot possibly be housed except with damage to cases. We simply must have room and we must have cash or good monthly pay ing contracts. Prices on entire stock will be about half regular Profits, and in some cases, a portion of actual cost will be sacrificed until one hun dred are sold-then this sacrifice and clearance sale will terminate, and ad- vertised prices will be withdrawn, hence delays are dangerous if you would save from $15O to s2o0.
 OtR EASY PAY PLAN.
 A little now and a little at a time monthly will secure any of the bar gains with out a dollar advance over advertised cash sale prices. Time ae- commodation given to all reliable GUS toners by merely paying regular rate of interest-not on the whole amount of purchase. but on the balance due from the date of one payment to the next-merely simple interest on bal ance due from time to time.
 There are no finer or better Pianos made than will be found here. The Chickering, Kranach & Bach Emerson Everett, Ivers & Pond, Krell French, Forbes, Pease, Smith x Barnes, Me Phail and other reliable makes-the best in their several grades-the best medium and inexpensive, chosen by MT. Forbes after nearly a quarter of a cen tury's experience in selecting reliable pianos he knew to be good and true.
 Tn advising you to buy piano here we ask you to do just what we have done urselves-compare We are ch oosers and have done the thinking and picking only the pianos whose rep utation for musical tone. durability and superior construction are beyond dis pute and are especially suitable for this climate.
 It is to our interest to have only pianos that will add credit and favor to our stores. and we have never ai- lowed a lessened price to interest us If quality suffered thereby. Just at rh1s time this Sacrifice and Clearance Sale offers savings possible at no other lime on pianos of the very highest zrade--pianos that have standard va lues all over the United States.
 We cannot make this statement too strong, and we tell you with emphasis that never before and probably never a gain, will such an opportunity be of- fered to furnish your home with strictly reliable piano at the saving of $50 to S200-not the usual adver- tised saving but a positive saving of aboye amounts according to the in- struments selected, by attending this sale.
 If you contemplate buying piano within the year, yes, two years, this sale is too unusual for you to miss for any reason whatever and do not stay
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-02-23

1 away on account of not being cOnven- lent to pay full purchase in cash Pay on our Easy Pay Plan. We are just now in a position where We must do something and do it quick so come early Monday morning and | make sure that the piano you are in- terested in or the bargain vou have been looking for is not sold before you get here, as we will have a crowd When E. E. Forbes Piano company ad- Neftlse a bargain the people known it is bargain and just as represented, and on the floors for the first custom CT or until all are sold.
 Player Pianos, Electric Pianos and Organs all going at sacrifice sale prices-a third to a half off.
 The following will give you an idea as to the bargains on sale Monday space will not admit of descriptions as to style of case, woods, etc. but they are all of the very latest designs in the different woods-San Domingo mahogany and French burl walnut, English and golden oak, also some special art designs in nah ogany and weath cred oak-mission etc. Come ex- pecting to find the biggest reductions ever offered on dependable well known, new and slightly used pianos, and you will not be disappointed because they
  personal inspection will verify every statement made in this announcement. s25O.OO pianos going at s9G.
 S2750O pianos going at s137 and SAP.
 S3O0O0 pianos going at SI57 and S162.
 $35OOO pianos going at $195.
 s4OO.O0 pianos going at S212 and $219.

 $65OO0 pianos going at S412. Good Squares, S25, S35 and $50.
 Good used Organs, $15 to SEQ and up.
 Best $1OO.OO organs, s65.
 Every instrument is plainly marked with both regular and sacrifce-CIear- ance SaIe-prices, saving in every in- stance is guaranteed to be just as rep resented by these figures.
 Bring s1O to $25 with you to pay at ,first-according to the instrument selected-then balance in small monthly amounts. Pianos with fine scarf and stool will be sent to your home at once or shipped to the country if you live out of the city. We box and deliver to the depot here without additional charge.
 Out-Of-tOwn buyers can secure a piano by mall just as safely as if here on our floors in person to select it, as our expert will give all mail orders especial attention. Merely give us an idea of the amount you would like to invest and leave selection to us. Abso- lute satisfaction is guaranteed for the money invested or no sale.
 It will be best to make second choice in order to secure one, and do not wait, if you cannot come to the city. Write, phone or wire at once
 Circumstances at this particular time force us to sacrifice profits, in some cases a portion of cost, which will benefit you if you make an early de- cision-you will save enough in the purchase of your piano to educate the family in music. All the instruments advertised will be sold, 1t is only a question as to whose home they will brighten. Remember the place-19O9 Third avenue.
