QUIT
 SUNDAY PAPERS
HELP IN sTRTIcT OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBATH AT HUNTS VILLE-THE LAW AND ORDER LEAGUE IS FORMED.

Huntsville. November 3.-(special )-The in Huntsville for church announcement If the resolution of the Pastors assoeia- tion holds out At a full meeting of the association yesterday discussion of the movement for a more strict observance of the Sabbath was engaged and atten- tion was directed to the fact that while the preachers have been urging their congregations to observe Sunday in it's strictest sense the pastors themselves have been using the columns of the Sun day newspaper to advertise their services. No one had given this thought and the ministers came to the conclusion that it is a condition that should not be al- lowed to continue longer. By resolu- tion the association members agreed to make all of their announcements on Sat urday.
 A law and order league is being organized in this city to enforce the liquor and other restrictive acts.
 The top of Monte Sano is being de- wasted by forest fire that was first noticed on Sunday afternoon. Some of the picnic parties that went up from the city Sunday are supposed to nave thoughtlessly started the blaze and the underbruth being extremely dry it spread rapidly and now covers an area several miles in extent. The glow can be seen from the city at night and apparently the fire extends from one end of the noun tain to the other. At late hour yes ,lol, md approaching the mountain village. All residents of the mountain are on guard and doing everything they could to stop the progress of the flames.

ter of the project can be realized when it is stated that the company will build about 50 miles of railroad in carrying out it's plans. The corpora tion in question is the Hebard cy- press company of Scranton, Pa, cap italized at s1.000,O00.
 The great interest in shaded to- bacco culture now existing in this sec ton was shown by the formation of a company at Montgomery. Ala, with paid in capital of S166,500 to develop tobacco property in Florida. At a mass meeting of citizens of Brewton, Ala, steps were taken to organize a home tobacco company. In Baldwin county. Alabama, a company will en- gage in the growing of winter celery on an extended scale. During the months of November and December 200 acres in Dougherty county, Geor- gia. will be planted in pecan trees.
 Real estate was active during the week and Atlanta, Ga, reported sew eral large deals among them $100, OOO transaction in which property sold for s943 per front foot. In Terrell county. Georgia, a farm sold for $40 ner acre. A $27,0O0 land and timber company was organized at Valdosta, Georgia and $25,O0O real estate com many asked for charter at Augusta, Ga. Plans for road building in Dallas and Autauga counties, Alaba- ma were discussed at conference of citizens of the two counties and the construction of turnpike will probably be the result.

Good Farming.

Anniston November 3.-(SpeciaL )-Here is some evidences of good farming, which shows something of the possibilities of Calhoun county soil. w. T. Owens of Alexandria valley has gathered already this year from five acres of land 924S pounds of seed cotton and expects to get two more bales in the windup, making in all something like 1900 pounds of cotton or 24OO pounds per acre-equal to two bales each. MT. Owens had well prepared his land, fertilizing it to the highest degree, before the seed was planted He then diligently cultivated it, with a result both satisfactory and profit able His example is well worthy of emulation.

Said to Be Suicide.

A sad death occurred early this morn ing at Wilkes station on the North Besse- mer car line, when Mrs. Mobbs is said to have taken her own life by swallowing a spoonful of Rough on Rats
 Since an attack of typhoid fever two years ago her health has been very poor and a deranged mind is thought to have been the cause of the act. According to reports she took the poison before noon yesterday, but did not advise anyone of having done so until late last night when if was too late for medical skill to check the effects.
 She is survived by a husband and five children. MT. Mobbs was for a long time & citizen of Bessemer but recently moved to Wilkes and a host of friends sympathize with him very deeply in his bereavement
 The remains will very probably be shipped to Cherokee county for inter- ment.

 News of Bessemer.
By J. F. LEE.

Bessemer, November 3-(Speeial. )-The city of Bessemer cast today 6S1 votes in favor of the new county amendment to the constitution and votes against it.
 Never before in the history of this city have the people of Bessemer and this end of Jefferson county been so united upon any proposition as they have been on the constitutional amendment providing the means whereby new counties may be formed. Bessemer and the "cut-off'' have rolled up a big majority for the amend ment, and thus have shown without any doubt the sentiment of the people of this end Of Jefferson county in favor of the establishment of a new county with Bes- semer as it's county seat
 Before the polls had closed, in Bessemer citizens had begun to gather around Re- bic hail. where the Southern Bell Tele- phone company flashed the returns upon a canvas, and before o'clock it is prob able that 2OOO people were congregated at this point, and at other places where the returns were. being received. All were eager to learn the fate of the new coun- ty amendment. And it was not long be- fore encouraging news was forthcoming. Brighton and Jonesboro, two sister towns of Beesemer, came forward with hand some majorities for the amendment. Then cdne Adger, Johns and a number of other boxes in the "cut-off.'' The vote at all the boxes heard from up to a late hour indicate the earnestness of the people of this section in the desire for better county facilities.
 The vote as far as heard from in this 4 Iaafnrsnr, is aa fnlln1us.

SEVERE CASE OF '. PSORIASIS CURED
The Terrible Disease Spread Over Body and Limbs-0ne of Worst Cases Doctor Ever Saw-ltched ConstantIy-Defed Treatment.
USE OF CUTICURA MET
 WITH PERFECT SUCCESS

q was cured of psoriasis through the use of the Cuticura Remedies. The terrible disease appeared on my arms and legs in small red spots under the skin. like blood blisters. the size of a pin-head; and it was constantly throwing of white scales, with ter rible itching. It spread until l was covered with it except my face and hands. I doctored with two of the best physicians I could find but they could not help me. One of them pronounced it one of the worst cases he ever saw. My mother gave me a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent. 1 did not get much relief from the first bottle but she urged me to keep on taking 1t, also using Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. After a few weeks I saw some improvement, so I kept on using all three of the Cuti- cura Remedies until, about a year ago. I was entirely over it and have never had any more of the trouble. l am sure that the Cuticura Remedies cured me for I stopped other medicines after I began with Cuticura. We always keep Cuticura Soap and Oint- ment in the house. James L. Man ning Box 2O4, Dunellen. N. J.. Nov. 25 and 29, 1907."

 Since it's discovery one year ago poslam, the new skin remedy, has, Tn its extraordinary accomplishments. eN- ceeded the most sanguine expectations of the eminent specialist who gave It to the world. It has cured thousands of cases of eczema and eradicated facla and other disfigurements of years standing. The terrible itching attend ing eczema is stopped with the frs application, giving proof of it's eura- tive properties at the very outset.
 In less serious skin affections, such as pimples, rash, herpes, blackheads' acne. barber's itch, etc., results show after an overnight application, only A small quantity being required to effect a cure. Those who use poslam for these minor skin troubles can now avail themselves of the special 50-cent package, recently adopted to meet such needs. Both the 50-cent package and the regular $2 jar may now be ob tained in Birmingham at Jacobs Phar- macy and other leading drug stores.

REVIEW OF THE WEEK.
QuadrennaI Business Bugaboo Has
 Again Passed Away.

Columbus, Ga, November 3.-(Spe cial.)-The Georgia and Alabama h. dustrial Index will say tomorrow in it's regular weekly issue
 With the transition or the presiden tiaI election of 1908 from the field Of speculation and unrest to the sober state of recorded history there passes away the quadrennial business buga- boo in the United States of America. This year the feeling that is usually the unwelcome attendant of pres dential year" was more acute than usual on account of the fact that the country was just recovering from a severe panic and the relief that comes to business interests of all kinds with the actual dropping of the ballots and furling of the political ban ners will be peculiarly agreeable. In Georgia and Alabama, where such d plucky fight has been maintained that tested the courage and endur- ance of the people to the highest degree. there will be a sentiment of general satisfaction. irrespective of the various results of the many polit ical contests, that the campaign IS all over and that the whole country can get right down to business once more. The truth is, Georgia and Ala. bama have been pretty diligent and enterprising in business affairs throughout the year despite the dis fractions incident to the excitement waiting attitude assumed by many big national business interests, owing to its being presidential year. The rec ord of material progress that the two states have made this year in the face of the fact that the nation was torn asunder with politics, the fur ther fact that this section was the last part of the country 70 feel the effects of the panic and the additional fact that the price of the souths great staple, cotton, has not been wholly satisfactory this fall. IS something truly remarkable and the achieve ment of 1908 along substantial busi- ness lines III In1S section or the COun- try will ever be a monument to the pluck and perseverance of the men who were at the helm during the storm period.
 The record of industrial achieve ment for Georgia and Alabama during the week just ending was quite a credita ble one in every way and in it there are some features of special interest. The announcement that one of the largest lumber plants in south Georgia has put on a night force and is operating "A hours out of the day in order to supply a rush order from Ohio for several million feet of tim Der has in it a ring of the good old times. A company which purchased Fl 900 acres of timber lands in south Georgia and north Florida will pro- ceed at once with the development of this splendid tract of forest Penn. sylvania and Wisconsin capitalists who plan to invade the great Okefe- nokee swamp and take from the mo- rass a liberal share of it's wealth of timber are the scene making personal investigations and in inter- views state that they have fully de- termined to develop their immense holdings there, aggregating nearly 800 900 acres.

Notwithstanding the fact that the amendment applies generally over the state. it is generally considered that Bes- semer and the south end of Jefferson county is the principle battle ground.
 Capt. H. w. Crook, when seen, ex- pressed the utmost confidence in the re- suit as regards the new county amend- ment Dr. M. z. Ragsdale, the father of the amendment when communicated with by telephone, said: '1 never had any doubt of the result when the issue was fairly put before the people of Alabama. My heart goes out to the good people of the state for the good work which they have this day done for us.'
