DECEIVED MOTHER Thought She Was Drinking Coffee.

It is surprising how many persons have thought they were drinking coffee, when in fact it was Postum-
 The secret of good Postum is in boil ing it until it-is dark and rich. This brings out all the food value and with good cream one can scarcely tell it from coffee-if at all
 And yet there's no coffee in Postum. It is made of clean, hard wheat and a trifie of molasses. But the way the wheat is coffe.
 tion,' writes a Ky. woman, "She made her coffee so strong that no one else would drink it. l knew it was killing her by degrees.
 ''She would make one pot of coffee to suit the family and then another for her self-much stronger. When she came to visit me I made her coffee while we drank Postum.
 One morning, the pots containing coffee and Postum being alike, got mixed. She drank Postum and said it was fine coffee, had better taste than hers, so rich and good. Then she began the use of Postum and found she began to get better. Now she Is entirely we'll"

DIR. HAMILTON AT
 SOUTHSIDE CHURCH

The interest in the South side revival continues unabated. A good congrega- tion was present last night. MT. and Mrs. George sang most effectively duet, q Stood Outside the Gate" The singing of MT. and Mrs. George is an attractive feature of the services. Dr. Hamilton spoke with great power last night on Tt Is Hard to be Lost" The speaker said:
 We speak of the difficulty of being saved, but it is we'll to look at the other side and see how hard it Is to be lost-how many things God has placed in the way of a sinner to keep him back from life of sin.
 There is reason. Every man who thinks must acknowledge that the best thing to do is to serve God, and the man who lives in sin does so despite his own judgment.
 Conscience, Gods messenger in the soul, lifts it's warning voice, sometimes driving sleep from him who does wrong."
 Here the speaker used many strik- ing illustrations showing the power of conscience to condemn.
 "The best friends one has, moth CT. wife, child, all stand between him and a life of sin. Memory of the old home with it's atmosphere of prayer. is a mighty force to draw mems though ts to God
 "The love of God in His redemption of the world through Jesus Christ It is hard for man to be lost"
 There were five professions of faith and two added to the church. Dr, Hamilton breaches this week at 7:45 ID.

ham protests against the attempt to gain this trade for Bessemer by coereing these citizens to go to Bessemer as the eonn- ty seat
 Nine well-paid judges sit in the Bir- mingham court house thoroughly capable i of dispatching all of the litigation of the county. At large expense there has been ] built handsome and commodious court l house at Birmingham. The proposed amendment would necessitate the expend- iture of money for the building of a new court house at Bessemer, a new jail and new almshouse for the lower end of the county. It would increase the number of officeholders and increase tho expense to taxpayers II would great ly diminish the territory. taxable values and population of Jefferson county with out in any corresponding degree reduc- ing the expense of the county admlnis- tration.
 Self-Government Plea Unsound
 The plea most plausbly advanced for the adoption of the proposed amendment is that people of the state are entitled to local self government. and that whenever the people of any particular territory want a new county government and a new county seat, they ought to have it.
 We confidently assert that If the proposed amendment carries. large number of voters will bet coerced into the new counties who would prefer to remain in the present counties. In mapping out the territory out of which the new county Is to be formed with Bessemer as it's county seat. the move ment will originate at Bessemer and the framers of thu new county will in- clude in the territory of the proposed new county much of the territory of Jefferson, Walker, Tuscaloosa, Bibb and Shelby they can count on carry ing in favor of the new county in the election to be held for the purpose of determining it's creation. Bessemer will be by far the largest voting precinct in the proposed new county. With the votes in and in the immediate vicinity of Bessemer a considerable territory of Jefferson, Walker, Tuscaloosa, Bibb and Shelby can be formed into a new eoun- ty the result of the preponderance of the votes at Bessemer over any votes against the formation of the new county from any other section proposed to be taken in. The promoters of the new county might elect to take in q. certain territory of Walker county, and every voter in the territory proposed to be sliced from Walker county might vote against it. but if the vote of Bes- ssmer was large enough the citizens of Walker county who preferred to go to Jas asper as a county seat could easily be forced to go to Bessemer.
 For these and other reasons, we re- spectfully urge upon the voters of tho state that the new county RID pendment to the constitution should be defeated and the question of forming new coun- ties should be left as it now stands to the wisdom of the state legislature. COMMERCIAL CLUB OF BIRMING-

TROOP D SMOKER.
Officers Made Short Talks at Social
 Session Last Night.

The smoker given Troop D, First ca7- airy, Alabama National Guard, by Capt. Cliff S. Price last night proved a most entertaining and enjoyable occasion.
 The smoker was held in the armory of Troop D and was largely attended. It was principally a 'ocial meeting ofA the troop as no busin ss of importance was brought up. Cal ain Price, First Lieut. c. H. Mandy d l ex-Capt Mall colm M. Stewart madl short speeches.
 Captain Price is tli newly elected commanding office of Troop D, sue ceeding Capt. Malcolm Stewart, who resigned for business reasons. He is one of the most popular military men in the state and under his leadership the troop will no doubt enjoy the same good condition which it gained under the command of Captain Stewart, the resigning officer. The troop Is now growing rapidly and its members were never closer together than they are at the present.

 For. years I suffered with what I thought was stomach trouble when the doctors told me I had heart trouble. 1 had tried many remedies, when the pr. Miles almanac came into my hands, and. concluded to try Dr. Miles Heart Cure I have taken three bottles. and now I am not suffering at all. I am cured and this medicine did it.

a water supply and if necessary, the ob- taining of slack water navigation to the Warrior river"
 Actuated By Patriotism.
 Lee C. Bradley said: "The statement that Birmingham lawyers oppose the Bes- , semer county amendment because they do not want to go to Bessemer to attend court is not correct. The lawyers are actuated by their knowledge of facts and conditions around any courthouse.
 "They are best In position to under- stand that every man in west Jefferson has to come to Birmingham six or eight times a year to the courthouse, that Birmingham becomes the center of trade and they have enough sense to know that Bessemer would immediately turn away hundreds of the best customers from Birmingham merchants. VT am positively opposed to any division of the county. I understand that the people outside of Bessemer in the lower end of the county are opposed to it and I do not see why we should put the power in the hands of Bessemer to annex just as big a slice of three counties as they like against the will of the inhab- itants."
