The ground has been shaded and Is re- seivIng all the necessary care to be i'm fine shape for the crop. Plants of the best variety of Sumatra wrapper tobacco will be brought here from Gadsden County. Florida. in a short time and set out tn the field. It Is tobacco can be made a success In Escambia county, and it has been ag- itated for some time. and the out come of this experiment will be watch ed with interest. If it proves a suc- cess the cultivation of the weed will be entered into on large scale and he of vast benefit to this section.
 The present outlook for large stra wberry yield Is most hattering. Berries will be on the market within two weeks and 1t Is expected that gathering and shipping will be com menced within thirty days. It will require quite a hard freeze to mater tally damage the crop now ana if that does not occur large quantities of the luscious berry will be sent out from Brewton this season. The prospects for a large yield of peaches are also very hattering.
 The Escambia County Farmers Un- ion held their educational mass meet ing at Catawba Springs. seven miles south of Brewton, yesterday. There was a large attendance of farmers and others from all parts of the coun- ty and the talks made by the three speakers. Mir Weston. of the Farmers Guide the official organ of the Farm CTS Union, publisher In Birmingham; Mir. Smith and J. L. Burgess. soil and fertilizer experts. were very instructive and entertaining and no doubt much good will result from them. After the speeches dinner was served on the grounds and the afternoon was spent by the members of the Union in an executive session. There were a num- Der of candidates present, but as the Union allows no politics to enter into their meetings. what eanvassing was done had to be done In a very quiet way.

PORTLAND, MAINE CHILD
IlI, Weak and EmacIated Re- stored 10 Health by VInol.

Mir. J. W. Flagg, of Portland, Me-, writes: -Our little daughter. six years of age, after a severe attack of the measles, which developed into pneumonia. was left pitifully thin weak and emaciated. She had no ap- petite. and her stomach was so weak it could not retain food. She lay in this condition for weeks. and nothing the doctor prescribed did a bit of good. and We were beginning to think she wopld never recover.
 At this time we commenced to give her Vihol, and the effect was at her progress. and when we told piled, Tt is a fine remedy. keep it up We did so. and she recovered her health and strength months before the doctor said she would"
 The reason Vinol accomplishes such results, when everything else fails is because 1t is a cod liver preparation made by a scientific, attractive and concentrating process from fresh cods' flyers, combining with pepton- ate of iron all the medicinal. healing body building elements of cod liver oil, but no oil When the powers of life are low Vinol restores the whole digestive system to a normal condition and makes it possible for the daily food to nourish the body as nature in- tended.
 For this reason there is nothing equal to Vinol to create strength for the aged. the weak and run down and convalescent.I Try if on our guaran- tee. E. c, FSwler. Druggist Montgom- cry. Ala.

Bad Day, Says Weather Bureau,
 For the Candidates Business

Rain today. Is the prediction of the Weather Bureau in Washington for Montgomery. As if tine people ir Washington didn't know that the original 1910 Movement Town was go- ing to vote for aldermen and council president and mayor 1t was generally consented that today was to be rainy.
 Still. the tutelary divinities of the city may prevail and cut out the rain.
 The local Leather Bureau was unable last night to afford definite informa- tion as to what kind of weather might be expected for election day. The Bureau in Washington sends out no reports to the various stations of the country on Sundays, the only fore casts coming to The Advertiser over the Associated Press wire.
 With so much of importance to be done today, however. 1t ought not to rain; and that is an excellent way for the initiated to prophecy.

FAITH OF THE CHURCH
REV. A. D. DUBBER PREACHED ON
 CHURCH PRINCIPLES.
He Explnfned The Fundnmentnl Faith of The Christfan Church
 Which Dated Back to 34

As has been announced several times during the past week, Rev. A. l.. Dubber. the evangelist conducting ser vices at the city auditorium. last night delivered e talk upon the principles and teachings of the Christian Church which he represents. Time did not allow of any profuse arguments. but history of the church and It's prin- ciples was entefed into
 Briefly the evangelist said: Christ and Christ alone is the head and the foundation of this church. a church which had it's origin in Jerusalem in 34 A D. The creed of the church is Faith in the Lord Jesus Christi
 According to the rules of govern ment of the church confession is not given to any priest or kindred head. it is merely a public confession of the heart of faith in the Lord Jesus. The Baptism of the church Is complete submersion in water. The ordinance of the church Is the Lords Supper which is administered on the first day of the week. <
 The name of the Church. "The Chris tan Church." was taken from the fact that in the beginning of Christs reign all who pledged themselves to Him were called Christians. The evangelist stated that his church was not following in the footsteps of any teacher save that of Christ and therefore had no additional name
 The discipline of the church the evangelist stated was taken from the Book which tells of the beginning ot the church The policy of the church Is electing men to Uii the necessary offices of the church as Elders. Deaeons. preachers. evangeligts, etc. The church government is carried out by the elders and eacons.
 In order to join the church the only question to be asked Is that asked since It's foundations: Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God. and do you believe that lie has the power to redeem you from ali sin?'
 throughout this week, a special address will be delivered on each night. To- night the subject will be "The Rule of Conversion" The hour for the week ly meetings is 7:45 o'clock

HOSPITAL Is CLOSED
pIsMANTLING OF MONTGOMERY IN
 PRIMARY IS COMMENCED.
Tnstitution That Has Done Much Char ity Work Discontinued--End Arouses Interest in other
 Hospital Proposed.

The usefulness of the Montgomery Infirmary. sss South Perry Street is terminated as the hospital has been closed and is now being dismantled The site of the building is stirl re- tained by the Infirmary Aid Associa. tion but the Improvements thereon. comprising the two story building. have been sold.
 The ending of the Montgomery In drmary is of interest, not only because of the work that was accomplished in and by means of it, but because of the fact that 1t represents a nucleus. both of enthusiasm and of material assets about which the new charity hospital of Montgomery plans are assembled During the years that the infirmary was operated 1t relieved much suffer ing and provided for numerous indi- gent persons help that might not other wise have been attainable.
 The hospital was maintained and controlled by the Infirmary Aid Asso- ciation. composed of women of Mont Romery. The property was vested in the strictest sense. The city appro- priated $50 each month for the mainte- nance of the Intirmary: the rest of the revenues were made up by private subscription and through the personal efforts of tine members of tho Asso- citation.
 Plans for New Hospital. k The closing vf the old Tnfirmary stresses the importance of the plans for the new Montgomery Infirmary which will be constructed on Capitol Heights. The lot on Perry Street it is expected. will be either sold or leas- ed so that the rentals or the sale price of it may be used for the new inflrmary. The lot on Capitol Heights where the infirmary will be construct ed was leased by the city to the In- firmary Aid Association for a term of ninety-nine years at the consideration of an annual payment of $1. 1t being provided that the city may. after the lapse of certain years and after a. com pliance with certain condition, formal ly take over the ownership and the control of the property.

FINANCIAL SAVING
MONTGOMERY MIGHT SAVE s7oo,oOo
 ANNUALLY.
Nsr. nave Talks of The Advantage to Fs~ Derived fin . Financial
 Way From Perfected

Secretary G. Grosnevor Dave yes terday supplemented in a statement his article published in Sundays Ad- ,vertiser on the advantages to be de- rtved from improved waterways. He points out that there is for Montgom- cry possible saving of over s7oo.Ooo yearly in freight through improved waterways.
 MT. Dave said:
 sTn the article on John A Fox and his visit printed in Sundays issue. spoke of the financial value of im- proved waterways to this city along the line of foodstuffs brought from the West and North, giving s710,492 as a possible economy in a year in freights alone. These figures were the result of compilations made by MT. Fox in collaboration with s. c. We'll H. S. Kea1hofer. ". E. Black and others.
 The tonnage of foodstuffs brought to this centre of distribution in year was figured out as 192,o25. The average rate on all this material from seven cities northwest of us is seven two and eighteenth cents per hundred pounds. From the same cities. to Mobile, 1SO miles further South the average rate is fifty-four and three tenths cents per hundred. The bet ter rate to Mobile is due to the fact that it can be successfully approached by water-borne freight. MT. Foxs' de- duction is sound--that water trans portation saves Mobile eighteen and one-half cents per hundred on goods carried to her right through Mont gomery; that therefore similar ad- vantage in Montgomery would reduce our freight bills s370 per ton. or s71O.- 492 on 1s1.025 tons. He used this H. illustration to prove to his audience that his plea for national development of waterways had a very practical mean ing for every business man in Mont gomery.
 Mir. Fox will be in Montgomery all day Monday, visiting business men and like move that will help Montgomery every way.
