 The hearty welcome that Uncle Sans fleet received at the South American ports is very recent history, and as a result of this and other occurrences, it would not be at all surprising if the United States does not now develop closer business and political relations with the lusty republics to the south than have ever existed heretofore.

Must Be vaccinated.

Dr. G. D. Waller, city physician, repre- senting the city of Bessemer, attended the meeting of health officers which was held in Birmingham yesterday. One of the most important subjects that came up be- fore the meeting for discussion was the matter of compulsory vaccination. Dr. Waller stated yesterday afternoon that he had found by experience that in large number of cases 1t was almost impossible to get the people to agree to be vaccin- ated, and this was particularly so in cases around the immediate vicinity of tho mines. He stated that unless some meas ure could be found to compel them to do it, it would indeed be a hard matter to reach them. It is out of the question to look them up, as they are scattered over a wide range of territory, and they seem to think that it is not worth the trouble to have it done.

Just as they entered the room they saw a man jump through a window at the rear end. They rushed to the place, but the fugitive could not be seen nor be found. They took possession of several casks of beer and a quantity of whisky which they found on the premises.
