When l was brought to your Sana- torium for treatment, as you Will re- member, I was almost helpless. My only tn ought by day and by night was whiskey and cigarettes; in fact. it was a case of whiskey and cigarette mania with me, and as you will remember was almost paralyzed. l had become so broken down in health, and my nerves were so unsteady that l could not hold a cigarette, and in order to satisfy my craving for cigarettes my wife would kindly make them for me, and in making them would make sev- eral at a time and lay them on the table near the bed. where l could reach them at all times during the night. l would smoke as high as one or two dozen cigarettes during tue night and would inhale every breath of the smoke.
 Some time after my return home I concluded to rid myself entirely or cigarettes, and l ordered a Home Treat lnent for the cigarette habit, and Judg- ing from my experience with your cigarette remedy am satisfied that any one who wishes to do so can rid him self of tobacco in any form. He has only to make up his mind that he real lv wants to quit and the medicine you furnish will do the rest. In my case il has rendered the odor of cigarettes and whisky so obnoxious to me that l cannot bear the smell, and when some Of my friends who are addicted to the use of cigarettes and whiskey get near me with a combination of whiskey and cigarettes on their breath. 1t nauseates me to such an extent that l almost Vonlit.
 I began smoking. cigarettes when I was II years old, and in order to do so had to hide from my father l was always ashamed to smoke them in his presence. l was 35 years old when l took thu treatment with you, so you sea l had stuck to cigarettes 21 years.

 To Be Democrats.
NEGRO PROTEST IS THIN

Montgomery. March 25.-tspecial.) )--Bos- ton papers have given much space to the address of Judge William H. Thomas of the city court of Montgomery before the Congregational club of Boston on Monday evening last His subject was ''The New South-An Inside View Coming as il did directly after the speech of President Edward A. Alderman. more attention has been given than might have otherwise been the case.
 The Boston Herald of Tuesday says: ''The address given by President Alder man of the University of Virginia at the Civic Forum in New York on Sunday night. and the address given by Judge Thomas of Montgomery on last evening before the Boston Congregational club, go well together as clean cut definite state ments of the position of the educated, lib- eral, modern southern man toward the nogro."
 The Boston Transcript. one of the most exclusive of the New England papers, printed the whole of the address of Judge Thomas in it's issue of Tuesday after noon. It is also given special editorial notice in special way. The people of the city who heard the address are talking of it as one of the best opponents of the southern situation heard in some time. The other speaker was Prof. Albert Bush nell Hart of Harvard. who had an Out side View of the South"
 Thin Negro Protest.
 That mass meeting called for Friday night at which the negroes are to pro- test against the nomination of Taft or any other man in line with the present administration is a case, to be very frank, Of talking but no acting. There are 66 negroes registered in Montgomery county. Out of this number only about b can vote, not having paid poll taxes. Of this meagre number several are democrats and others who are not never vote for business reasons Some of those left are for Taft, so that the protest is going to be thin any way it is taken. President Roosevelt got only 51 votes at this box with hard work for him, and the impression is that some of these were by democrats.

Gadsden, March -(Special.)-V M.

As result of his visit it is probable that the county will build mile of good road under the direction of a government expert before election is had on the question of a bond issue for road building purposes. This would serve both as an object les son as to what can be done in modern road making and at the same time dem onstrate the cost of good roads under conditions found here thereby placing the people of the county in a position for more intelligent action.

COUNTRY NEEDS
A NEW POLICY,
SAYS HUGHES

CHICAGO, Feb. 22-In a speech de-
livered here today st the Union League
Club meeting in the Auditorium. Gov
ernor Hughes, OF New York. paid
tribute to the life and character Of
George Washington. at the same time
giving utterance to some f0rceful points
on present-day political events.
"There is no Legislative road 10 char
acter," said Governor Hughes. III the
spirit of Washington could permeale
our public and private life. ne should
neither seek nor need governmental
panacea. And 1t is only SO far as this
spirit imbues administration that the
government of a free people can per-
form Its function.
THE country is morally sound. Its
standards of business were never higher.
In this land OF industry, with unex-
ampled opportunities for production and
exchange, with an area and popula-
tion enjoying advantages Of distribu-
ticn free from artificial barriers Of In
teFcourse such as the world has PeveT
seen, the men Of business inevitably
represent the intelligence and moral
sentiment of the people.
Industry Slowing Down.
There IS a temporary slowing down
of the wheels Of industry. Amid un-
certainty and hesitation, enterprise
waits impatient. Men in large num-
bers are unemployed who should be en-
ployed, and new undertakings and ex-
tensions Of existing plants which would
provide further opportunities for labor
are not going forward as they should
go forward.
"The interests Of industry are not
the interests Of a class, but OF ali the
people. What the rich man feels in the
reduction OF the value Of his securities.
what those dependent upon the returns
from investments feel in the Impairment
of their income, the wage-earner feels
still more acutely as business contracts
and the loss OF employment confronts
him with starvation. It Is well TO trace
the economic causes which have pro-
duced this condition, and needed re-
adjustments must be made.
This is no time for encouragement
or hating. but for appreciation Of Amer
lean opportunity and for that intelligent
and united effort by which alone we can
avail OF it and deserve the hblessings of
posterity. To support this confidence, and
10 gain these ends, we must have a
settled Governmental policy And It
must be a right policy
Consistent Policy Needed.
1T must be a policy consistent with
the genius of our institutions The peo-
pie Of this country do not desire So
cialism even as an experiment. They
do not propose TO pass through a dread
tul quarter OF an hour of revolutionary
changes to satisfy themselves Of these
lInperfectOns of human nature. of which
they are already well aFprised. and

Divine Caught Cold on
Journey to Attend

Exposure During Bad
Weather Here Added
to Disorder.

The Right Rev. Henry Yates Sat
terlee, bishop of Washington and a
foremost figure in the Protestant
Episcopal Church, died this morning

last night that the anxious bedside
watchers realized that the end was
near. The announcement of his
death came today as a thunderbolt
to thousands of ehurchmen, CO.
workers, and admirers throughout
this city and the entire country.
As beautiful and as Christianlike
as his life has been was the death of
Bishop Satterlee. He died repeating
the Sanetus with the words "Holy,
Holy, Holy" upon his lips.
At midnight last night Bishop
Satterlee began sinking. He told
those about him that the end WIS
