Good Cough Medicine for children
The season for coughs and colds is now at

Brandon Talks on Education.

Gen. w. w. Brandon, state auditor, ar rived in Birmingham last night from Mont gomery. This morning he and Governor Conner will take up the weeks work of the Alabama high school locating board They will visit today Altoona, Walnut Grove and Attalla.
 "There is an educational revival or awakening in Alabama" stated General Brandon last night, 'and wherever we go, We are greeted by large' audiences and enthusiastic people. In some places, the receptions rendered us, amount to the proportions of a demonstration.
 If the state administrations continue as kind to education as the present one has been and is and if the people con- tinue to show as much interest in educa- tional matters as they do at the present time, it will be but very short while before Alabama will be removed from its unenyiable rank among the states of the union when illiteracy is concerned.
 "The present administration, if you stop to think. has done other things than reduce passenger and freight rates in Ala bama. It has been an educational admin istration. Governor Conner has been a true friend to the youth of the state. The administration has dealt most kindly with the University of Alabama, Auburn, and other colleges of the state, and has, in- addition, agreed to an appropriation of 5000 yearly for the support of hign schools in every county of the state"
 General Brandon is one of the best l-,.o f.,4 l, +oAa zf 4l1., most popular He is mentioned as a probable candidate for governor when the time for running for that office rolls round. Others state that he will again be candidate for probate judge of Tus- caloosa county. The general himself Is not talking politics.

His "reminiscences of the years leading up to the war were full of interest, for graphic and true were the sketches that he gave of anti-bellum times.

That of the Sultan of Turkey Is in a similar position, partly, however. owing to his age; while the Kings of Spain and Greece are regarded as rather heavy risks. AS for those of Sweden and of Norway, they could, If they desired, probably add to their insurances at rates under those asked from quite ordinary people.
