Emboldened by the success of that
party in forcing its reforms upon the
sick man of Europe" its leaders
have now arranged a program which

They declare they will never be con-
tent with less than they have secured
for their own nation.
AS the czar has been quietly ex-
tending his power into the rich Per-
sian country such efforts upon the
part of that party can only mean one
thing according to statesmen Of the
old school-a war with Russia
something which Turkey at this time
is in no condition to welcome.
The younger leaders, however, de-
clare that they will secure their pur-'

WOOD C. CAMPBELL
 GOES TO THE PEN
MUST SERVE 20 YEARS FOR KILL ING LOxLA T. EDWARDS AT CO., LUMBUS, GA.-HE HAS MANY VISITORS IN JAIL.

Columbus, Ga, April u.-(Special. J. Wood c. Campbell. formerly marshal of Phenix City, and who is widely known throughout East Alabama, will leave in a day or two for the Georgia penitentiary to serve his sentence of 21 years for kill ing LoXla T. Edwards, who was a prom inent resident of Phenix City.
 Campbell has arranged his business af- fairs and is ready to go to the ''pen." He was very keenly disappointed when Judgo Martin declined to let him give bond so that he could personally wind up his busi- ness matters and collect his debts be- fore he left to serve his sentence, and as 1t was he had to give direction to the management of these affairs from his cell In the Muscogee county jail Camp bell is a good business man and has been successful in his investments, and ac- cording to reports has accumulated respectable amount of property, although he is by no means rich. It is his earnest hope that he can be assigned by the Geor- gia prison commission to some place where he will be able to make extra money for his family by working over time He declares that he leaves Colum- bus with no animosity in his heart toward anyone, and has no feeling of bitterness for the authorities of Muscogee county.
 Campbell received a good many at tentions from visitors during the past week, as it was known that he would soon leave to serve his sentence. Ladies visited the jail and held religious services. and his cell was frightened by beautiful flowers.
 Campbell declares that he thinks he did right to kill Edwards, and that if he had 1t to go over again he would do the same thing. He says he believed he was right at the time he fired the fatal shots, and that after having reflected over the mat ter for several months he believes he made no mistake.

Montgomery, April 11.-(Special 1.-The week has brought about the establish ment of the liquor laws as permanent and valid enactments and at the same time rendered the possibilities of an extra ses- sion of the legislature very remote With the constant rumors that the prohibition laws would not be upheld came the an- nouncement from Governor Conner that to make them good he would call the legis- lature together. He had been supported by Lieut.. Gov. Henry B. Gray and oth- CTS, who were very anxious that the acts be fully established.
 Peculiar Situation.
 Although the justices of the supreme court will say that they did not pass upon the validity of the local option act, they do say that so far as the binding parts of the act are concerned the decision on the general prohibition law covers the local option measure. Section 13, of the general law makes valid every election held prior to the first day of January, not taking the trouble to discover if such election was legal or not In this way the local option provision is fully main tained even though the act itself was not taken up.
 Railroad Cases.
 1nere IS Sllll uOuDI or the future course of the state attorneys in the rail- road litigation. No information has been given out as to whether or not there will be an appeal from the rulings of Thomas G. Jones, judge of the federal court, and the public is yet kept wait ing for something definite to come forth. A man who is in position to get impress sions intimates that the cases will be ap pealed, though not a man with privilege of inside information has said one way or the other. Attorney General Garber was asked to give some hint of the course of the state. He replied very frankly that nothing had been determined upon, as the attorneys had not been able to fully digest the opinions of the United States supreme court.
 An Interesting Point.
 This interesting point has been raised, and is said to be bothernS the officials. It Is this: Can the state proceed with the investigation of the reasonableness of the rates without appealing from the de- csion of the federal court here, or must 1t, in order to secure the further discus sion of rates, seek revision by higher

Cures Eczema Quickly
New Drug, Poslan, 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 incoa- venience to many thousands who use t for minor skin troubles, such as pimples, blackheads, herpes, acne, scaly scalp, complexion blemishes, itching feet piles, etc., which require but a 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 g package, spe- cial 50-cent size, which in future may be found on sale at Jacobs Pharmacy and. other leading drug stores in Birmingham, or may be ordered direct from the Emer- gency Laboratories, No. S2 West Twenty fifth street, New York city. In all ec- zema cases poslam stops itching with first application, and proceeds to heal immedl- ately; chronic cases being cured in two weeks. In less serious skin troubles, re- suits are seen after an overnight applica- ton.
 Samples for experimental purposes may still be had, free of charge, by writing to the laboratories for them.

How l Took My
 Wrinkles Out
After Facial Massage, Creams and
 Beauty Doctors Had Failed.
BY JARRETT META.

Trouble, worry and i'll health brought me deep lines and wrinkles. l realized that they not only greatly marred my appearance and made me look much older but that they would greatly in terfere with my success, because a wom- ans success, either socially or financially depends very largely on her appearance. The homely woman, with deep lines and furrows in her face, must fight an un- equal battle with her younger and bet ter looking sister.
 l therefore bought various brands or cold cream and skin foods and massaged my face with most constant regularity. hoping to regain my former appearance But the wrinkles simply would not go. On the contrary. they seemed to get deep CT. Next I went to a beauty specialist. who told me she could easily rid me of my wrinkles. I paid my money and took the treatment. Sometimes I thought they got less. but after spending all the money I could afford for such treatment, found I still had my wrinkles So l gave up in despair and concluded I must carry them to my grave one day friend of mine who was versed in chem istry made a suggestion. and this gave me a new idea. I immediately went to work making experiments and studying everything I could get hold of on this subject. After several long months Of almost numberless trials and discourage ments, I finally discovered a process which produced most astounding results on my wrinkles in single night. l was delighted beyond expression. I tried my treatment again. and To and behold my wrinkles were practically gone. A third treatment-three nights in all-and l had no wrinkles and my face was as smooth as ever. I next offered my treatment to some of my immediate friends, who used 1t with surprising results, and l have now decided to offer it to the public. Miss Gladys Desmond of Pittsburg, Pa, writes that 1t made her wrinkles disap- pear in one night. Mrs. James Barss of Central City, South Dakota, writes as follows: My face has become fuller, the flesh ffrmer, and my eyes brighter, all of which Is due to your marvellous treatment. The change is so great that it seems to be more work of magic. v will send further particulars to any one wao Is interested, absolutely free of charge. I use no cream. facial massage, face-steaming or so-called skin foods i; there is nothing to inject and nothing to iniure the skin It is an entirely new discovery of my own, and so simple that you can use 1t without the knowledge of your most intimate friends. You ap- ply the treatment at night aud go to bed In the morning To! the wonderful transformation. People often write me, Ut sounds too good to be true" We'll, the test will tell. If interested in my discovery. please address Harriet Meta, Suite 500B, Syracuse, N. r., and will send you tho particulars.

CULLMAN MAKES
 BID FOR SCHOOL The People Pledge Building to
 Cost $15,00O SALOONS MAY BE CLOSED It Is Rumored That CulIman Saloon Men May Abandon Fight on Con
 stitutionality of Local
 Option Election.
SALOONS MAY BE CLOSED

Cullman, April u.-(Special )-An enthu- siastic high school meeting was held last night at the court house and great in- terest aroused in the matter of making another and more determined effort to secure the location of the state high school. Many ladies were present and added to the enthusiasm of the occasion. It was unanimously agreed to offer building costing s15,O00, and about 50 sig natures were immediately secured to an agreement pledging that amount. com mittee was appointed to secure other sig natures and up to ? o'clock today over 100 names had been secured.
 The credit for this awakening is due to the firm stand taken by Governor Conner, Auditor Brandon and State Su- perntendent Gunnels for a building that would be a credit to the county, wher- ever located. They refused pointedly to consider Cullman under her former offer of s6OO0 building. Hanceville IS the only other applicant for the school and is making a splendid fight for the prize. The state board will be asked by Gull man to give thes two towns brief joint hearing at the capital before the location is made. Postmaster William A. Heck was chairman of the meeting and made a strong plea for the school.
 There is unverified rumor on the streets that the saloons here will close and give up the fight since the sweeping victory for prohibition In the supreme court. When the cases were begun a fight through the supreme court of the United States was threatened, but 1t is not be- lieved the men engaged in the traffic will take chances on continued violations of the law pending the appeal, even if one should be taken. It is understood that federal constitutional questions were in- cluded in the petitions of the saloons to pave the way for an appeal. Conservative -prohibitionists will probably condemn any further defiance of the law.
 Willie McPherson, most esumable young man, 21 years of age, was buried here yesterday. He died of consumption
 The latest reports from little Willie Griffin, who accidentally shot himself the other day, say that he is resting well and has some chance of recovery.
