 zen of this city of the right to use or keep liquor or beer in his home Why hasn't MT Jones the courage to sign his name to circulars that he is handing out On the streets, and that are being sent through the mail in his behalf, even if he lacks courage to stand by the meas tres he had stood for heretofore
 MT Jones says that it is Harry Jones, ';ntramelled and absolutely foot loose, who solicits your support
 If this be true, how does Mir Jones explain the activity of Mir. Burnett and MT. Dick Gambill in his behalf?
 The voters of this city are entitled to know the ways and wherefore of this array of talent, who are doing every thlng in their power to elect Mir. Jones.
 Mr. Jones now says hurrah for Muni- cIpal Ownership of Waterworks! If there was anything else that he voted against he would be hurrahing for that too
 Stand up to the rack, MT Jones, and take your medicine like a man.
 You're beat, of course but don't craw- fish about it. w. T. STEWART. Chairman Cooper Campaign Committee.

TWO MINERS HURT
 IN EXPLOSION
Lamp Is Placed Too Near Package Of Dynamite Caps-One
 May Die.

Gadsden, July 2e.-(Special.)-As a re- suit of the explosion of some dynamite caps in Mine No 8 of the Alabama Con solidated Coal and Iron company two miners were badly injured and one of them is not expected to recover. Will Wilbanks had both hands blown off and Seab Jones lost one hand and an eye. One of Wilbanks' arms was shot away at the elbow. Both of the injured men are in the hospital and it is said that Wilbanks cannot live. The explosion re- suited from a miners lamp being placed too near a package of dynamite caps. At the time of the acc-Aent there were IA others in the mine, but beyond a se we're shock they suffered no injury. Both of the victims of the disaster were hurled to the floor of the mine. They retained consciousness but suffered terribly from their burns and wounds.

Pimples, Rash, Eruptions, Etc, Quick ly Eradicated by New Skin Remedy.
 Since it's discovery one year ago, pos lam, tha new skin remedy, has, in its eX- traordinary accomplishments, exceeded tn most sanguine expectations of the eminent specialist who gave 1t to the world. It. has cured thousands of cases of eczema and eradicated facial and other disbursements of years standing. The terrible itching attending eczema is stopped with the first application, giving proof of it's curative properties at the very outset.
 In less sesious skin affections, such as pimpies. rash, herpes. blackheads, acne, barbers' itch, etc. results show after an overnight application, only small quan- tity being required to effect a cure. A muddy or sallow complexion Is notice- ably improved by a single application. Those who use poslam for these minor skin troubles can now avail themselves of the special 50-cent package, recently adopted to meet such needs. Both the 50-cent package and the regular $2 jar may now be obtained in Birmingham at Jacobs Pharmacy, and other leading drug stores.
 Samples for experimental purposes may be had free of charge by writing direct to the Emergency Laboratories, S2 West Twenty-fifth street, New York city.

 Crops Are Good.
 Commissioner of Agriculture J. A. Will kinson is back from North Alabama, where he has been with farmers insti- tutes for several days. He estimates that the party talked to fully 40OO farm CTS during the week. He found that North Alabama crops were in fine shape.
 Tax Commission.
 The state tax commission spent most of the day Saturday hearing the case of the Selma Lighting company. Col H. S. D. Mallory, candidate for the demo- cratic nominatisp for governor. was one of the attorneys in the hearing. The Louisville and Nashville and the South and North railroads, which were heard Friday will be assessed in a few days there being lot of figures to go over.
 New Enterprises.
 It is regarded now as certain that the troops of the Alabama infantry will get away to Chickamauga on July 29, for a week at Camp Taft. It is not known what will be done with the strike district but it is thought that the cavalry will be able to look after things there until it is safe to move them. It Is barely possible that the three infantry com panies which have been on duty in the strike zone may not be required to gc to camp.

Mr Jones says in his statement which appears in the afternoon papers yester- day and in The Age-Herald this morning, that any attempt to associate him with anyone else with a view of leaving the Impression that he is under the nomina- ton of some other person, is false.
 MT Burnett says that Jones acted for hlm and at his direction when he intro duced the street tax ordinance on Janu~ .,ry 15 and on May 20.
 It looks to us like base ingratitude on ,he part of MT. Jones to charge his friend with a misstatement, after this friend so nallantly attempted to shift the respons, hility from Jones on his own shoulders.
 Can't he stand up to his friends even if he does back-track on his records.
 MT. Jones says he has never stopped to cheap politics.
 What kind of politics does MT. Jones call the vicious, anonymous and unfound- ed circular that MT. Jones has personally circulated, in an effort to mislead the honest voters of this city into believing That MT. Cooper voted for or supported any ordinance that would deprive citi-

Upon investigation he found that Martin had secured a government license to sell whisky, and upon this evidence the arrest was made Martin waived examination and was released on $500 bond.

St. Stephens, July 25.-(Special.)- Little Frank, the 2-year-old son of Cir cult Clerk and Mrs. Frank C. Turner, died here yesterday morning after a very short illness of membraneous croup. He was buried in the St. Stephens cemetery. yesterday after noon at o'clock.

Montgomery, July 5-(Special.)-Inci- dental to the discussion in these columns of the primary election as means of nominating party officers, letter writ ten this week by w A. Henderson, chair man of the democratic committee of the Second district, is to the point The let ter was addressed to William Stahl of Wilcox county, and in the opening par agraph says
 You say that the exorbitant entrance fee is a bar to the poor man. l fully agree with you that the primary election costs too much
 MT. Henderson then goes on to say that it has never been possible to secure from the managers and clerks adequate service without paying them; hence with the very smallest fee possible 1t is calculated that the election machinery of the nine counties cannot be handled with less than $2400.
 State Should Pay.
 MT. Henderson advocates the payment of primary expenses by the state. Il think" says the chairman, that the state should pay the expenses of the pri- mary, as the November election is only a ratification of it. I regret the circum- stances, and am sure that you will see I have no discretion in the matter We must stand upon the case as 1t is and en- force it to the letter for all alike until It is changed by proper authority"
 There are a great many others who agree with Mir Henderson that the pri- marry expenses should be met by the state, and the outlook now is that before any great while this plan will be adopted, or else the general primary idea will be so modified as to be utilized no more ex- tensively than in the county unit.
 New Turn In Politics.
 Without any question, the movement on the part of the railroad lines to increase the interstate rates has had a tendency to arouse anew the anti-railroad feeling in the state. It is also fact that many commercial bodies which have not here tofore taken part in the opposition to the traffic charges are now active to prevent this increase. The statement from Gov ernor Conner that the state will go into the courts to prevent 1t, and the fact that a great many other southern executives are taking the same position, indicates the possibility, if not the probability, of reopening the old contentious in the n1at- form almost as aggravated as before.
 Men who make study of politics now believe that the next campaign will be pitched on the railroad issue despite the

CROPS PROMISING
 IN CUBA SECTION
THE REMAINS OF PACK HONEY CUTT, WHO WAS KILLED BY A TRAIN AT kEWANEE, MISS, ARE BROUGHT HOME FOR BURIAL.

Cuba, July 25.-(Special. )-This section past two days and crops are in fine shape. Cotton has a fine weed and is fruiting nicely, but the season is too young to make any forecast as to the ultimate yield. Corn is practically made and the amount to be harvested is great ly in excess of any former year, due to the heavy acreage. Dr. J. A. Beavers has a field of extra fine corn that com petent judges declare is sure to harvest 75 bushels to the acre. It is a corn that has been developed by a local man and has from four to six full ears of corn to each stalk.
 A very heavy rain fell south of town last night and farmers report some dam age to cotton, due to heavy wind.
 The remains o- Zach Honeycutt were laid to rest in the family burying ground this morning, funeral services being con- ducted from the Holiness church. The unfortunate young man was instantly killed at Kewanee, Miss, by a north bound Alabama Great Southern passen- ger train. He was night operator at that point and it appears that owing to the extreme heat in the office he came outside to cool, sat down on the plat form, dropped off to sleep and did not wake until the train struck him. The deceased was 2S years of age and had been in the service of the railway com pany for about six years. He was high ly esteemed by his associates and his tragic death is deeply lamented by his friends here. He Is survived by his parents, grandparents, four brothers and one sister.

SOME WEEKEND GOSSIP
 FROM THE STATE CAPITOL
By HERVEY w. LAIRD.

fact that business men are trying to get it out of the way.
 Who Will Be Leader?
 They argue that this will also force the administration to line up definitely with some set of men who are known to be thoroughly in accord with the views held by the present governor. Just who that man will be no one seems now to be able to say, but the impression gains ground every day that the next gubernatorial contest will be fought out along lines very much like those of the last.
 It is also thought by men who keep their ears to the ground that the move ment will be productive of an increase in the following for Governor Conner which he will be able to use to advantage in the race that he is expected to make for the United States senate. The Governor is sending out copies of his Samson speech to all the counties of the state, and his position on the proposition to raise the rates is also being widely scattered in all of the interior counties.
 The Other Side of It.
 On the other hand, the friends of the railroads continue to argue that there are only two courses open to them with the present condition of business. One is to reduce wages and the other Is to increase traffic charges. They all contend that it would be a bad thing to cut wages, and that such a movement would bring about widespread inconvenience and loss to their employees; hence they seem to have fallen on the other side and, in spite of the fight which they know will have to be made, have determined to increase the charges on most of the commodities han died in the southern territories.
 The railroad men contend that this has been brought about by the statutory re- duction of freight rates in the southern states They hold that because they are forced by law to transport commodities inside the state at rates which they con sider inadequate, they must make good by increasing the charges on interstate hauls.
 Must Do Something.
 It is argued by men close to the rail roads that the policy of Governor Conner and other southern governors who are in line with him has resulted in great loss of business and extensive demorali- zation of traffic. To overcome this they have found it necessary to increase the income and argue that the only way to bring this about is to get more money for the service which is not controlled by the individual states. However this may be, it now looks as if the raise will be made, and that it will be followed by renewal of the agitation which business men have contended has been d detriment to the state and it's interests.
