DR. WARD SELECTED
CHOSEN AS PHYSICIAN OF MOBILE
 COUNTY.
Beard of Revenue Acts and Contest may Go to state Supreme Court -Other OhieiaIs Are
 Elected.

Mobile, Nov. 1s-(Speciai. )-At a regular meeting of the Board of Reve- nue and Road Commissioners today the County oflcials filled all of the posi- tions to be given out at the hands of the County Board.
 Chief among them was the election Of pr. w. c. Ward to the oflce of County Physician. despite the fact that pr. Campbell had already been elected by the County Medical Society.
 There is a contention over the con struction of the new code as to who has the power to appoint the County Physician and by electing an official on advice of their attorney, the Board or Revenue hopes to get the matter to the Supreme Court for settlement as to who has Jurisdiction in the election or physician, the County Revenue Board or the Medical Society.
 Other officers elected were: County Attorney George J. Sullivan, reelected without opposltlon; John Simmons, keeper of County poor house, re-elect- ed without opposition; court house en- gineer. Harry Murray, reelected with out opposition; night watchman at court house, John Brown. elected over several applicants; court house porter Henry Kinney, colored, reelected with out opposition, and keeper of record room, William Baxter.

v GOLD IN ALABAMA
GOOD REPORTS COME FROM RAM
 DOLPH COUNTY.
buildfng of New Railroad Has Given Ampetus te Development of the Fine Metals of
 State,

Anniston, Nov. 16.-(Special )-w l.. Ernest and son, of Gold Ridge. Ran dolph County. who are here on a visit to MT. Ernest's brother, IT. c. Ernest, bring glowing reports of the mining operations now in vogue and being set In motion at Gold Ridge for mining gold. silver, copper and other miner- els that are found in paying quanti- ties in the earth at that place.
 MT. Ernest says that stamp mills and other necessary machinery are be- ing installed for the purpose of min Ing on an extenslve scale; that great interest is felt and much work is be- ing done already tns actual mining, but real, systematic operations will not be. gin until the necessary machinery for modern mining can be put in.
 The Gold Ridge Mines have been worked in a desultory way for a num- Der of years Many years ago in the same neighborhood. copper was mined on a more extensive scale, but the undertaking failed from bad man. agement or other causes and the mines were abandoned. The want of ship ping facilities contributed much to the failure of that und etaking.
 The building of the A. B. and A. Railroad near the mines and the prob able extension of the sroad from TaI- lapoosa, Ga, directly to the mines, 1t having already been built as far as Hopewell, is likely to bring great ac- tivity and interest to the Gold Ridge field.

MANY WAIT TOO LONG
Here-To Be Mixed at Home and Be. Taken After Meals
 and at Bedtime.

Take care of backache. A great many cases of kidney complaint are reported about here; also bladder trouble and rheumatism.
 An authority once stated that pain In the, back, loins or region of the kid neys Is the danger signal nature hangs out to notify the sufferer that there Is something wrong with the kidneys which should receive immediate atten- ton. Only vegetable treatment should be administered and absolutely no strongly alcoholic medicines, which are harmful to the kidneys and blad- der.
 The following prescription. while simple, harmless and inexpensive, is known and recognized as a sovereign remedy for kidney complaint The ingredients can be obtained at any good prescription pharmacy and anyone can mix them: Compound Kargon. one ounce: Fluid Extract Dandelion. one- half ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsapa- rilla. three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take In teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime.
 This preparation Is said to restore the natural function of the kidneys. so they will sift and strain the poisonous waste matter, uric acid, etc.. from the blood, purifying 1t and relieving rheu- matism. Backache will be relieved, the urine will be neutralized and cleared and no longer cause of irri- tatioD. thereby overcoming such synap. toms as weak bladder. painful, fre- quent and other urinary difficulties.
 This is worth trying and may prove just what many people here need.

As was customary, Van .Vlissingen copied the forged papers from the originals, which he disposed of to other buyers. Lefens and Seipp said they first became suspicious of the notes last Saturday, but took no act ion until today. s
 Consulting with Assistant States Att torney Barbour, they decided to delay no longer.
 The rapidity with which the case was handled after the consultation with Mir. Barbour is shown by the following schedule:

SAFETY OFDAN CRAIG
DALLAS COUNTY NEGRO BROUGHT
 TO MONTGOMERY.
shertG DOherty Acts To Save Black Man Accused of Killing MT. ElIis-News of the Gen.
 GraI City.

Selma, Nov. 16-(Special.) )-But for the prompt action of Sheriff J. P. Do- herty and his deputies Sunday after noon, 1t Is believed that a prisoner would have been taken from the county jail and lynched last night.
 The details were only made public this morning and after the prisoner had been taken from the jail and carried to Montgomery, where he Is now con- fined.
 The negro is named Dan Craig, and is charged with murder. About two years ago Craig killed a Mir. Ellis near Orrville. The negro evaded arrest un- til about three days ago, when he was captured in the southern part of the county and brought to Selma and placed in the county jail.
 It Is said that since the arrest of Dan Craig there has been a steadily grow ing sentiment among the white citi- zens around Orrville that justice should be speedily dealt out to the negro. It Is also stated that plan to take the negro from the county jail and lynch him last night was openly dis cussed and this talk was communicated to Sheriff Doherty.
 To keep the negro from being lynched. he was taken quietly from the jail Sunday afternoon and placed In boat and carried across the river and then carried about a mile, the Western Railway of Alabama train was stopped and the negro was taken to Montgom- cry.
 Dan Craig will probably be kept in the jail in Montgomery until the next term of court, when he will be tried for the murder of Mir. Ellis.

A AREMARKABLE CASE
PROMINENT CHICAGO BUSINESS
 MAN IN TROUBLE.
Peter VRn VIisslngen Was Arrested, Indicted, Confessed, Tried and Sentenced In Less Than
 Four Hours.

Chicago, Nov 16-Peter Van Vlissin- gen, a real estate dealer, for several years classed among the first of Chi cago's prosperous and reputable busi- ness men, today confessed to having ob- tained through forged deeds and notes more than $700.000 and few hours af- ter his arrest on his own urgent ap- peal to be punished, was sentenced to from one to fourteen years in the pen itentiary.
 The arrest, the indictment confes- sion and sentence were the work of less than four hours. Taken in the midst of business from his office desk short ly after the noon hour, Van Vlissin- gen, a venerable looking man, appear ed before the court, and in tears, con fessed that for from eighteen to twen- ty years he had been securing money through the sale of forged documents, and that though he had bought back many of these spurious instruments without detection. at least twenty five people would lose an aggregate of more than S70O.00O through the paper, which he has not redeemed. In forging notes, he declared he had perfected an unique device. This consisted of a plate glass desk top, SO arranged that by an electric light thrown up be- meath. he could readily trace from or iginals, forged signatures onto worth less paper. Throughout his arrest ana sentence the prisoner made no effort to defend himself. but only asked that his punishment be speedy. Asked If he had anything to say before sentence was imposed. Van Vlissingen. lowing his head, replied:
 Only that l be given my punish ment at once"
 His term in the pentitentiary was fixed as indeterminate from one to fourteen years.
 Van VIissingen. who is about 45 years old, was married February 4, 1907, to Mrs Jessie Roosevelt Blend, who was described at the time as a distant rela tive of President Roosevelt. The bride was a daughter of Wilton c. Roose- welt. She had been divorced from a dentist named Blend. Van Vlis- singen had been a bachelor living at the Calumet Club. He was known as being of a philanthropic disposition giving special attention to the welfare of boys.
 The specific charge which led up to the spectacular arrest of Van Vlissin- gen today was made by two men who had bought forged mortgage notes They are T. J. Lefens and William c. seipp, who have cfhees fin the same

REBUKE ASSOCIATES
ANNIsTON DEMOCRATS VOTED FOR
 REPUBLHCANS.
Member of COmmattee Puts Out a HOt Statement as Reasea for Re- organization of Party Mmehhmery
aaza.-a..

Anniston, Nov. I6.-(Special.)- )-An- nouncing his intention to bolt the city Democratic Executive Committee and form a new committee. H. Nj. Myers, a member of the City Democratic Com nlittee, today gave out the following interview on the local political situa- ton:
 T am a thorough Democrat-have always been-and am accustomed to voting the ticket from dog-pelter to President, without mutilating 1t or al- lowing my personal prejudices to warp or detract from my earnestness in support of party integrity. I sincerely believe that no man can afford to hold official connection with the party and do less.
 For some time I have been a mem Der of the so-called Democratic Com mittee of the city. I accepted the posi- ton from the Second Ward under the impression that the Committee was Democratic and would at least set the example of voting for Democratic can didates.
 "If I am correctly informed this was not done in the recent national cleo ton. but instead, both the Chairman and Secretary of the Committee voted for Republican candidates against the Democratic nominees. They knew fin A0N N&htO OA sip SACGt4OAA bHaL tHGJ were going to do this, and yet they contin- ued to hold on to their offices In the Democratic party while they voted the Republican ticket. They still continue to do so. Their purpose evidently is to boss tle Democratic party while they fight it with their votes.
 Tt seems to me that common de- cency would have compelled these gen. tlemen to sever their official connection with the Democratic organization If they had made up their minds to join the Republican party, and am equal ly sure nobody cares, but I deny them the right to try to run the Democratic party at the same time.
 Tn view Of these things, I shall re. sign from the Committee and seek to bring about a reorganization. filling positions on the Committee with Dem ocratic voters. We, of course in inc reorganization may not be able to mar shal such distinguished officials aa have had charge of the party's affairs heretofore, but we. will try to worry along. The officials will at least vote the Democratic ticket"

COTTON CONFERENCE.
MANURING COTTON IN BARBADOS.

Barbados agricultural Exporter, 20M May.)
Professor Albuquerque, speaking on the
above subject at the Conference of Cotton
Growers at the Free Library Hall on May
Is, said There are no new
tons to make on the subject of manurlng
Cotton in Barbados. On page 93 of the
"A. B. c.. of Cotton Planting the artificial
manure recommended by me as most suita-
BILE for cotton consists of a mixture in the
proportions of 3OOtb good superphosphate,
40 TBS. good sulphate of potash and 1O0tbs.
good s~ulphate of ammonia, making in all
Hobbs, which is the quantity to apply to
one acre. This recommendation was made
us the result of the experiments IN manur-
ing cotton at Bentleys plantation in 1906.
The plots that received this manure shove
q profit by manuring of $500 per acre.
The experiments concluded at Sterling in
1907 show that the plots which received per
acre $50 TBS. sulphate of ammonia, 40 Tbs.
sulphate of potash and $50 Tbs. superphos-
phate gave the best results and showed q
profit by manuring of S7.T per acre. 1t
is probable that the most favourable amounts
to apply depend upon locality as we'll as
on the amount and mode of distribution OF
the rainfall; but the experim ents already car
ried out go to confirm the results obtained
in the United States Of America that cotton
should receive a relatively high application
of phosphoric acid in o readily available form,
say, 800 Tbs. to $50 Tbs. superphosphate per
acre. and from 100 lbs. to $50 TBS. sulphate
of ammonia per acre, and 40 lbs, sulphate OF
potash per acre.
1t seems to be desirable to emphasize the
fact that under the cultivation Of cotton IN o
tropical climate there is a continuous loss OF
hunus to the soil, which, unless made good
in some way, must necessarily, though gradu-
ally. destroy the fertility of ouc lands. Bdrba-
dos land, which over a large proportion OF
the island is some 9 inches to j inches deep,
resting Immediately on highly porous.coral
rock, has for more than 200 years been under
the continuous cultivation OF the sugar cane,
and I suppose there is no crop in the world
that in any way approaches to the sugar
cane in the amount of leaves which remain
upon the ground after the crop is reaped.
These leaves, or, as we may call them, trash
and tops, not ouly return to the land a large
proportion of the mineral and heterogeneous
plant food removed by the cane plant, but
they supply the organic matter, the raw
hu1nus. which in our sugar cultivation makes
GOOD the rapid loss of humus that goes on IN
orr hin soil in our somewhat dry climate.
A large number of analyses shows hat
orr soils contain about l to 3 per cent. OF
humus and that Notwithstanding the heavy
applications year after year OF farmyard ma.
nnre rich in cane trash, the percentage OF
humus does not increase therefore, the loss
