Taft Is Deceived.

New York. Oct. 17-In believing that he is making inroads Into the solid South's Democracy, Mir. Taft is victim of self deception" said Jo. sephus Daniels. National Committee. man from North Carolina today, at Democratic headquarters, and he add ed:
 "He Is falling into the error of his predecessors to the office to which he aspires. in mistaking the proverbial courtesy and hospitality of the South land for an expression of sympathy for him as an exponent of Republican doctrines. Because of this. he deludes himself in the belief that the Repub- lican Party is making inroads Into the solid South. President Roosevelt and President Mckinley in their day were similarly deceived on the occasion of their visits to the South, were also buoyed by false hopes until the votes were counted in subsequent elections. They were taught the lesson that Mr. Taft will have learned by heart by No- vember next"

NO JOINT DEBATE
LADIES HAVE WITHDRAWN THEIR
 CHALLENGE.
It is Supposed That the Memorial As- sociaffon Now Considers Foun-
 tain Removal Dead

There will be no debate over the re- moval of the Court Street fountain. There will be no narrowing details Of the wreck and ruin occasioned by the presence of this pile of iron.
 President A. G. Forbes has been mo- tiled by the members of the Ladies' Memorial Association that they have decided to withdraw their, challenge for debate on the removal of the fountain. They do not care, accord ing to their statement to President Forbes. to enter Into a discussion of the merits of allowing the fountain to remain in Court Square.
 Just what this action means is not known. but 1t Is supposed that because Council Committee turned down the resolution having for its purpose the removal of the fountain. and that it has been decided that for the present at least the matter should bd allowed to rest.
 ' In addition to notifying President Forbes that 1t has been decided to withdraw the challenge. the members of the Association have made a request that President Forbes advise them of some of the arguments that 1t was in tended to use for the removal of the fountain. This will probably be done by President Forbes as soon as he has the time to advance some of the req sons why some of the members of the Commercial Club favor the removal of the fountain.

much dead and down timber makes 1t very hot. 1t is almost impossible to check it. When this is the case, addi- tional help should be summoned and It should be checked at all hazards. In damp. heavy forest, Ire usually trav- els slowly. and a few men if persist ent hay keep it in check by trench- ing even though they may not ex- tinguish it. and must continue the watch untii rain falls. In dry open woods. fire travels faster and 1t is oft eu best to go some distance to open ground and set back fire there. In handling back-fires, great care is need ed to avoid useless burning. The night time or early morning is best time to work whenever any choice exists. for nearly all forest fires die down more or less during the cool of the night. and Hare up again during the heat of the day. It would be we'll to bear the following general principles in mind:
 Protect the valuable timber, rather than the brush or waste.
 Never leave fire until 1t is entirefy out. <
 Your saplings suffer more than old matured timber.
 [ Surface, fire in open woods. though not dangerous to old timber does great harm by killing seedlings
 ' "A fire rushes up hill, crosses crosses slowly, and is more or less checked in travelling down. Therefore. if possible. use the crest of ridge and the bottom as lines of attack. .. k A good trail. a road. or d stream often checks a fire Use them when- ever possible.
 < Dry sand or earth thrown on fire is usually as effective as water, and Is much easier to get.
 "A little thinking often saves labor and makes work successful.

HOW TO FIGHT FIRE
srn. WALLACE ISSUES STATEMENT
 ON FOREST FIRES.
He Urwes Farmers to Be Very Care ful Wifh Forest Fires Duripg
 the Cieaxfnw <s
 Season.

Instructions and suggestions as to practical timber culture and the effect i've fighting of forest fires are com fained in a statement issued yesterday by State Game and Fish Commissioner John H.. Wallace. He reminds the far mers that the clearing season IS near at hand and that. therefore. they should be careful to desist from firing the forests and grass as they have done in the past.
 Incidentally. in this series of sug- gestions. Commissioner Wallace re- minds the farmers of the ''veritable faliacy of the idea that the burning of the forests makes summer and spring grazing better" 1t'
 No one. perhaps. more than Commits sioner Wallace. realizes that if the for est were destroyed no cover would re- main to afford retreat and breeding places for game. With this in mind he determined last year to make a fight to save the remaining forest in Ala bama from obliteration and to make an effort to encourage the people of Ala bama in the art of practical timber cuIsdre.
 After having devoted considerable time to the study of the problems wrapt up in the preservation of the forests, Mir. Wallace. who is secretary of the Alabama Forestry Commission. yester- day gave out the following statement:
The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-02-16

Clearing season will soon be at hand aud farmers are enjoined to desist from Bring the forests and grass as they have done in the past. The splendid fertilizers which nature abundantiy supplies to restore worn lands to a state of pristine fertility. goes up in smoke and the soil over which the lire sweeps in consequently impoverish- ed by the conhagration. Every shoot and prospective tree Is destroyed and nothing is gained by burning woods, while millions each year Is lost by peo- pie who have never stopped to think that annually merchantable timber trees are growing scarcerl and that there is not visible increase in the ceop of trees for the future. The idea that the burning of forests makes sum mer and spring grazing better has been proven to be a workable faliacy.
 "All lands that are vacant or idle which are not susceptible of cultiva- ton should be allowed to grow up in trees. and these trees should be so pro- tected that with tfre course of few years they will develop into such trees as to be valuable for lumber purposes. The large saw mills must inevitably go out of existence because of the fact that the supply of timber to keep them running will soon be exhausted. In a few years large quantities of lumber will be imported into this country. and the import duty alone will exceed the present price. of lumber. Under no circumstances should any growing timber be burned or cut down unless absolutely necessary.
 "When a forest or woods has once been set on fire and the citizens who are interested desire to check it.. it would be we'll to observe the following suggestions:
 'When once a fire has spread. where

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local dis
ase and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh
to be a constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, man
ufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co, Tole-
do, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken in
ternally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dol
lars for any case it fails to cure. Send
for circulars and testimonials.

FAMOUS ACTRESS OBJETS
TO ANTI-FAT ADVERTISEMENT

New York, July (Speeia)--
Lillian Russell has consulted her
counsel concerning the advisability Of
bringing suit for libel against a New
York newspaper which published her
pictures with an article headed, HAY
in Your Fat Cut OFF," The attorney
has not made legal analysis of the
article 1disapproved by Miss Russell
and her friends. He was told, he said,
that photographs purporting to be
those of Miss Russell were publish
ed. They portrayed her figure as It
would appear in before and after"
taking advertisement and under the
photographs was the caption "The
possibilities of the new carving off
the fat theory applied to the lovely
Lillian Russell"
Neither photograph, her friends say,
does justice to Miss Russell. One
makes her look skimp, the other de-
picts a person of too generous pro-
portions.
