GOVERNOR-ELECT BROWN AND b.
ENNIAL SESSIONS.

It is stated by some of those in the
confidence of Governor-elect Brown
that ia his first message to the Legis-
lature he will take strong position in
favor of biennial sessions OF that body.
If he does, great impetus will be given
to reform, says the Savannah Morn
ing News. 1t is even probable that the
Legislature would consent to submit
the matter to the people, though its
members are greatly inclined to get
every dollar they legitimately can from
their position
1t has been recognized for long time
that there is no real need of session
of the Legislature every year. A big
percentage of the bills introduced are
not intended to accomplish any tempo
rary or permanent good. They are
meant to inform the constituents OF the
members introducing them that their
representatives are doing something.
In other words, they are meant for
home consumption-for electioneering
purposes. 1t is certainly time that the
public money should no longer be used
for any such purpose. Every dollar
that is collected by the state is needed
by state institutions. Indeed, the de-
mands of these Institutions, especially
the public schools, are long way from
being satisfied. Twice as much as at
present could be spent on the schools
with beneficial results. That being the
case, why should many thousands OF
dollars every two years be used prac-
tically to inform the people that their
representatives in the Legislature are
at their posts of duty and trying to earn
their good will.
Judging from the way Mr.. Brown
handled some other questions in his
published letters during the campaign
for the gubernatorial nomination, 1t is
safe to assume that he understands this
biennial sessions question, and will use
his influence to reduce the cost OF leg
islation.

CARMACK,s TRIBUTE TO SOUTH

The South is land that has known
sorrows; it is aland that has broken the
ashen crust and moistened it with its
tears land SCARED and riven by the
plowshare OF war and beloved with the
graves Of her dead but land OF legend
a land Of song, land of hallowed and
heroic memories.
To that land every drop of my blood
every fibre of my being, every pulsatior
OF my heart is consecrated forever.
Twas born Of her womb; was nur'
tured at her breast, and when my las
hour shall come, pray God that l may
be pillowed upon her bosom and rocked
in sleep within her tender and encir
cling arms.

audiences ever gathered together in Ala bama. Many hundreds of people, there Is no doubt, will attend the university com mencement now, whereas they might not have done so had Governor Johnson not agreed to deliver the alumni address.
 In addition to President Jemison and other prominent members of the Alumni association, Governor B. B. Conner and Lieutenant Governor Henry B. Gray, for the state administration, wrote letters to Governor Johnson. urging him to visit Alabama on the occasion of the univer- sity commencement. His acceptance will result in practically the entire adminis- tration attending the commencement on the day of Governor Johnson's address.
 It is very probable that Governor John- son, inasmuch as he has accepted the in- vitation of the Alumni association, will also accept the invitation of certain com mercial and industrial bodies of Noble, which have invited him to deliver an ad- dress in Mobile May 21. This will result in the distinguished visitor spending d day in Mobile where he will be the guest of Governor Conner and the state ad- ministration.

CORONER TO INVESTIGATE
 SMITHS DEATH TODAY

they were talking excitedly, although he could not recall any of the words; that the negro watchman in tfie lumber office nearby did not see any one fleeing; that Byers attempted to kill the negro, the bull let hitting the door facing just above his head, and that Byer's ralncoat shows where bullets believed to have come from Smiths pistol as he lay on the ground passed between his legs from behind.
 The other argument is that those oul- lets entered from the front, tlat two other negroes saw a man in gray over coat running, that the shot in the door facing was accidental and that Byers had no time to make up any such ruse.
 MT. Byers has made a good officer dur ing his service, has never been known to do anything rash and has made many friends. Many of them. believe that he is being done an injustice, and it is an un- doubted fact that no opinions will be formed until the coroner's verdict is found.

WHISKY FLOWS
 IN THE STREETS
THREE HUNDRED SONS OF HAM TRY TO SCOOP IT UP WITH HANDS AS IT FLOWS TO THE SEWERS.

Whisky flowing through the streets of a dry town while 300 ebony skinned sons of Ham, like the famous 300 war riors of that hero, Gideon, knelt upon the ground and scooped their drink up with their hands. Such was an instance in the life of Birmingham yesterday when several barrels of confscated whisky were emptied into the gutters by Captain Hooper and Collector Zack Booth of the internal revenue department.
 The hrewater was of an inferior quality, being a wildcat product from the land or moonshine-Marion county. An effort was made to sell it, but its lacking ouali- ties kept off bidders. Then 1t was that the force of the local revenue office was lined up and volunteers called for to dis pose of it. Messrs. Hooper and Booth accepting the call.
 They moved the barrels to the street, ard while their action was unheralded, their actions were suspicious and great crowd collected to see what was doing. They turned the barrels over and emptied their contents into the gutter while at least three hundred negroes scrambled with each other in the effort to scoop up some of the precious stuff on it's way to the sewer.

The coroner's jury will meet in the of flee of Chief Bodeker this morning at o'clock to investigate the killing of Po- liceman Smith, which occurred several nights ago. Opinion among the officers and detectives who have Investigated the case is very widely divided. There are those who insist that Smith and his part ner, Jud Byers, had previously quar- relied, and that Byers killed Smith, being himself wounded by the dead officer. Others have an array of evidence that some outside citizen, fearing highwaymen, had fired on the officers and then made good his escape
 Officer Byers will attend the coroner's inquest in his own behalf. He declares that he and Smith were on the best of terms, and is deeply grieved that his tel- low officers should suspect him.
 One argument Is that the two officers were seen a few moments before by white man called Baxter, who believes

Neoroes May Be Turned Loose.

The Memphis authorities notified Sheriff Higdon yesterday that unless requsition papers are secured immediately for tho arrested in Memphis on charge of mur- der committed in this county last year, 1t will be necessary to release the negroes. Since Sheriff Higdon was notified that the negroes had been apprehended he has made application for requisition papers, but they have never been received. The sheriff states that he is powerless, and unless the necessary papers are received immediately the negroes will probably go free. The reason for the failure to issue the papers has not been made known.

A DREAM.
The Awakening Reality Less Rosy.

Far back in my childhood I hold pleasant memories of the coffee berry in it's natural state, and its grateful aroma when roasting over the kitchen fire." writes a venerable N. H. lady.
 Although the old house is gone and a new one stands in it's place. I often see in my dreams the little coffee grinder by the window, and grind again the coffee for breakfast
 But time passed on and the pleasure of indulgence in coffee was wholly lost in the i'll effects on my nervous system. I was troubled with frequent and severe spells of headache which sadly inter- fered with my work.
 My sleep was less sound than former ly and nightmare. often disturbed my fit- full slumbers, until at last insomnia held me in its relentless grasp. l would lie awake nearly all night.
 ..Other troubles set in until was pro- nounced incurable by several of our best physcians They all prohibited the use of coffee. I was indeed like one under the spell of the drink habit, but I obeyed implicitly my medical advisers, for I had become a great sufferer.
 "A friend who had been greatly bene- fited by changing from coffee to Postum. gave me a cup of this health beverage to try I found its flavor pleasant, while at the same time it agreed with me per-

 .'I ordered some at once, but was dis appointed to find mine did not taste like my friends had not boiled it long enough. After I had learned this fact and made my Postum according to direc- tions I had uniform, satisfactory re- suits.
 ..Well, to make long story short, I seemed to have found Ponce de Leon's fountain of youth, for my friends remark ed that I was growing young. My mind became clearer and more vigorous and I took up the work which I had reluc- tantly laid aside. and much more with it.
 '.If my case was incurable, as the good doctors had said, I had at least found something to allay my insomnia suffer- ings, and serve for real nourishment when appetite failed. Nearly five years have passed since I drank my first cup of Postum and I am as much in love with it today as ever" There's Rea- son."

Not only the Kings household but yours, ours, everybody's should have its life guards. The need of them is es- pecially great when the greatest foes of life, diseases find allies in the very ele- ments, as colds, influenza, catarrh, the grip and pneumonia do in the stormy month of March. The best way that we know of to guard against these diseases Is to strengthen the system with Hoods Sarsaparilla-the greatest of all life guards. It removes the conditions in which these diseases make their most suc- cessful attack, gives vigor and tone to all the vital organs and functions, and inn parts a genial warmth to the blood Re- member the weaker the system the great CT the exposure to disease.
