The mayor of Timpson, Texas,
announced the other day that he
would give his entire years SAL
airy to the Bryan campaign fund.
When the news reached Demo-
cratic headquarters at Chicago, it
is said that there was general re-
joicing. Chairman Mack, Treas
urer Haskell and Colonel Wet
more had visions of an addition
to the campaign fund ranging
in amount from $500 to $4,000.
They hunted up the census re-
port and found that Timpson is
somewhat larger than q village
and concluded that the mayors
salary was proportionate in size.
However, upon further investiga-
ton it was found that Timpson
pays its mayor 81 a year and
naturally the Democratic cam
paign managers felt somewhat
chagrinned. At any rate, the
mayor of Timpson is probably the
only public official in the United
States who has contributed his
whole years salary to the Demo-
cratic cause. Who will be the

AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION.

The approach of winter is sug-
'gestive of fires aud this should
remind oil of the necessity of
safe chimneys and flues. In many
places the municipal authorities
appoint an inspector, whose duty
is to examine all chimneys and
fues in town, and frequently
upon discovery Of defects suffi-
tcient to be considered unsafe, has
caused the property owner to re-
pair and i'll cases that justified to
rebuild. Every precaution should
be taken against neglect and care
lessness in this important matter
and every property owner should
make personal examination of his
chimneys and see that same are
safe before the winter sets in.
Another matter OF vital import
|ance, and to which attention has
been called before, is the neces-
Isity for some means of sounding
fire ahrm in st. Joseph. As will
I've remembered, before the old
court house was demolished that
well-known and popular bell was
used, but since the razing of that
building no such means have been
available. Certainly something
should be done along this line
and it is not we'll to put the mat
ter off, rs delays are frequently
dangerous, and some of our ele-
CANT residences may burn in the
still hours of night before the
sleeping town can be awakened.
TO us the necessity for a fire
alarm is so urgent that all other
municipal needs are subservient,
and it is certainly to be hoped
that this very important matter
will be no longer neglected.

into play during the commercial
year of 1908 1909.


The consumption of all Ameri-
can. mills. presents strong con-
trast to. the very active season of
the preceding year. The only con-
selling feature in this respect is
that Southern mills have suffered
less in proportion to the Northern
mills. In this connections MIR.
Hester refers to the change which
has been, going Oh for years, shift
ing the seat of the American cot
ton milling industry to the States
of the Cotton. Belt, remarking that
these conditions have been more
in evidence during the season just
closed than ever before, the con-
sumption of American cotton in
the South, even under the unfav-
orable conditions quoted, having
been in round figures 2,l93, 900,
while the North totaled but L.
973, 900, or 22O, 900 bales less.
This gradual but steady shift
ing of the cotton manufacturing
center from the Northern States
to the cotton fields is the newt
able tendency to cheaper cost by
eliminating the heavy transport
tation charges. Secretary Hester
puts the increase in the number
Eof Southern mills over last year
at 10, making a total now of 1888.
Of these 7S6 have been in opera
ton, including two exclusively OH
foreign cotton, II were idle, and
80 are in course of erection.
In conclusion, Secretary Hester
states that his special inquiries
among spinners indicate ala al.
most universal spirit of hopeful
ness and confidence as to the out.

Cures Eczema Quickly
flew Drug, Poslam, Now obtainable In
 Small Quantities.

Since it's discovery one year ago, the new drug, poslam, has successfully cureu thousands of chronic cases of eczema and other distressing skin afflictions. Here tofore poslam has been dispensed solely for the benefit of eczema patients in large jars sufficient for a months treat ment This was found to be an incon- venience to many thousands who use t for minor skin troubles, such as pmples, blackheads, herpes, acne, scaly scalp, complexion blemishes, itching feet, piles, etc, which require but small quantity to cure. To overcome this, and in re- sponse to urgent appeals, the dispensers of poslam have been obliged to adopt in addition to the regular $2 package, spe- cial 50-cent size, which in future may be found on sale at Jacobs Pharmacy and other leading drug stores in Birmingham' or may be ordered direct from the Elmer gency Laboratories, No. g West Twenty fifth street, New York city. In all ec- zema cases poslam stops itching with hrst application, and proceeds to heal immedi- ately: chronic cases being cured In two weeks In less serious skin troubles, re- suits are seen after an overnight apphca- tion.

FLORENCE BOY HAS
 A NARROW ESCAPE
YOUNG HAUNT BUGG FALLS UNI DER A STUMBLING HORSE AND SUFFERS BROKEN LEG-DRAGs HIMSELF 300 YARDS.

Florence. July 2S.-(Special} al}-Faunt the 13-year-old son of MT. and Mrs. J. E. Bugg, is suffering from a broken leg as the result of his horse falling on him in Wildwood park late yesterday afternoon.
 Two hours after the accident happened the little fellow was found by MT. and Mrs. Charles A. Sullivan, where he had crawled 800 yards.
 The boys horse was in the habit of soaring at the bridges, and as he passed one of the small bridges in the park shied to one side, his feet landing on some slip pery rocks. The animal fell with the boy under him, breaking his leg at the thigh and otherwise bruising and cutting him. After lying there until he despaired of being found, he crawled about 300 yards, when he was found by MT. Sulli- van, who took him to his home. The horse struggled for some time on top of the boy before he regained his footing, and it was almost a miracle that the lat ter was not killed. The animal was badly cut on the rocks and needed the ministra- tions of veterinary surgeon when he reached the stable.
