General Frazier Talks.

General Frazier of Morgantown was
recently interviewed in Washington,
Among other things he said:
The great woe and distress of the
SWlsherltes III my state, began the gen.
eral, lis due to the fact that they fail to
understand the devotion to principle
that underlies the contention of the
Scherr people i'll this fight. The men
who are standing so firmly for Arnold
Scherr at this time are men who are I'M
selfish Republicans and who place party
honor above machine politics or the dis.
trlbutlOn of jobs That is the basic rea-
son why there can be no compromise in
this fight without the withdrawal of
Swlsher and the reorganization of the
Republican state committee with no fed
eral or state office holders in its member
ship from now on. Thus and thus only
can the Republican party Of West Viz
glnla be the party OF the people rather
than of the machine "
When General Frazier was reminded
That what he said sounded mighty well.
put he offered no remedy or way of
bringing about the change he demanded.
he responded:

Predict Defeat.

In discussing the negro disfran-
chisement and Jim Crow planks in
the platform before the democratic
convention the party leaders freely
predicted that to adopt these planks
wonld mean the defeat Of the party
at the November election and beg
ged the delegates not to vote for
them. Some of the remarks follow:
Col. JOE Chiffon.

fools?

thus used by the canny candidate to
terrorize TIE weak and to caiole the

heard much in the land. Reason has
no standing in the regular" corner.
There justice cannot be discussed
nor need shame or corruption be
afraid. All arbitrary methods, all
wrongs, and all corrupt practices

Cures Eczema Quickly
New Drug, Poslann, Now obtainable In
 Small Quantities.

Since it's discovery one year ago, the new drug, poslam, has successfully cured 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 1t for minor skin troubles, such as pimples, backheads, 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 S2 package, spe- cial 50-cent size, which in future may be found on sale at acobs 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 first application, and proceeds to heal immedi- ately: chronic cases being cured in two weeks In less serious skin troubles, re- sults are seen after an overnight applica- tion.
 Samples for experimental purposes may still be had free of charge. by writing to the laboratories for them.

 It develops that Senator Tillmans con- dition demands a rest and quiet, hence any idea he may have entertained of making another lecture tour after the close of Congress, or later in the year, has been put aside. The senator and Mrs. Tillman are making arrangements to go abroad during the late spring or early in the summer and will be away several rHnnths.
