SELMA NEAR BEER
SALOONS PLAN TO GO OUT OF BUs-
 MESS.
Dallas County Farmers Get Their Sup ply and Go Back Home Clubs Abolish the Lock-
 CT System,

Selma, Aug. z.-(Special) )-The pro. prietors of the "near-beer" saloons in Selma are making preparations for the closing of their places of business Mon- day afternoon.
 All of them will close their doors and go out of business the moment Sherifi Doherty is officially notified that Gov ernor Conner has signed the Carmichael measure.
 The "near-beer" saloons were crowd ed today and. large number of coun- try people who spent the day here car ried home with them dozens of bottles of the "near-beer."
 The closing of the .'near-beer'' sa looms here will throw out of employ ment number of white men and ne- groes. It will also leave vacant a number of stores In the business dis trict which will probably remain ya- cant for some time.
 The new prohibition law will be ob- served by the different clubs here in which the locker system has been in vogue. The lockers in the Harmony Club were abolished during the early part of sthe week and the members of that club who had any of the prohib- ited fluid in the lockers carried it to their homes.
 Sheriff Doherty said today that when the Carmichael measure became a law he would try and see that it was en- forced in Dallas County. He will use his best efforts to keep any blind ti- gers from doing business in the city of Selma or in the country districts.

LowLANDS NOT TO BE
 FLOODED BY RIVER

The Alabama River at Montgomery yesterday morning was up IS 1-10 feet. a fall of 3 7-1O feet during the preceding twenty-four hours. which is considered pretty high for this time of the year and shows excessive rain fall throughout this section.
 Although the river may be up some and although there was a heavy rain fall throughout this part of the State yesterday afternoon there seems to be no danger that the river will over flow it's banks. There are some points along the banks of the river in this district where the lowlands can be flooded, when the water reaches the height of twenty-five feet. Along the can be inundated when the river reaches the twenty foot water mark.
 F. H. Smyth. district director of the Alabama section of the United States Weather Bureau, stated last evening. that If the rain yesterday was gem eral along the river valleys, the Ala bama would start up again, as 1t rises and falls very rapidly. He stated that the rain fall throughout this sec lion was due to a storm, central in the Gulf, and located yesterday morn ing south of the Louisiana coast.
 Continuing. he said that the bureau did not know yet, whether the rains were general or not. but that they had wired to Rome on the Coosa, and Dadeville on the Tallapoosa. and if they reported rain yesterday, the rive CT would De up some.
 He received one report yesterday stating that the Tallapoosa had over flowed its banks in some places and that the corn in the lowlands was flooded. However this only lasted tWenty-four hours and that river is now recejing and falling rapidly.

Perfectly Moulded Eigures

To get out of condition is detrimen tai to beauty of form as we'll as tt health. There Is a certain habbinesl which robs a good figure of charm and grace. Those who are beginning tf grow fat rapidly are never in the pini of condition.
 But here medical science has slipped in with very wonderful remedy one which not only restores a perfectly moulded form but renews health and strength We give the recipe in full for the beneht of our stoutish friends 1-2 OF. Marmola, 1-2 OF. Fluid Extract cascara Aromatic and 3 1-2 OF. Pepper mint Water.
 Any druggist will make up this pre- scripture. or supply you with the in- gredients which you can mix your self. The dose is one teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime.
 The great virtue of this harmless remedy is that whilst the excess fat is being expelled. the person under treatment has a healthy appetite and does not need to study dietetics or go in for tiresome exercises. The whole system is refreshed" and reinvigorat- ed. the blood renewed and muscular development restored.

MIR. LETCHER HERE
U. s. CONSUL AT ACAPULCO, N1ExI-
 co VISITS PARENTS.
Som of pr. and Mrs. F. M Letcher stops On on His Way to Mexico to Enter Upon His New
 Duties

Marion Letcher, a former well known Montgomerian, who was recently ap- pointed United States Consul at Aca- pulco. Mexico. spent few hours in this city yesterday with his parents, pr. and Mrs. F. NJ. Letcher, at 53 South Goldthwaite Street. while en route to Mexico to assume his new duties.
 Mir. Letcher left after a few hours In the city, for New Orleans. from whence he win go by rail to Mexico City, where he will spend a few days with the con- sul general. His final destination, Aca- pulco. is situated on the west coast of Mexico. and much interest is attached to the place now because of the recent destruction and devastation there from earthquakes and tidal waves.
 In a nasty interview yesterday after noon Mir. Letcher stated that this was his first trip to Mexico and that he ex pected to be very busy upon his arrival at Acapulco, owing to the recent dis turbance there and that he didn't know W what kind of conditions would confront him.
 Mir. Letcher was born in Macon County, Alabama. He graduated from the University of Alabama in 1894 af- ter which he lived for several years in this city.He then did some school work in Georgia and later did some irregular work at the University of Chicago. Mir. Letcher served throughout the Spanish American war as First Lieutenant of the 5th United States Volunteer h. fantry. For the past six years he has been employed in the National Bureau of Education at Washington.
 Under the old rule the consular ap- poiptments were simply political, but now the State Department Is putting 1t on a merit basis The appointee first received his designation. then takes an examination and later obtains his ap- pointment. Mir. Letcher received his appointment from Georgia, although he is a native Alabamian.

 Huntsville. Aug. 7.-(Special)--AlI of the social clubs here are waiting for the signal from Montgomery to close out their locker systems in &C., cordance with the Carmichael bill.
 Several of the clubs here are large and influential and their governing boards have no desire to become vio- lators of any law. They have all had lockers since the dispensary act went into effect more than two years ago.
 should the soft drink bill, forbid ding the sale of drinks on any floor except the ground floor. go into effect, 1t is probable that two of the lead- ing clubs would be compelled to go out of business as their homes are upstairs. s

T have thought the matter over carefully and have re- sponded to the pressure of friends all round me by deciding to run for the Important office of State Treasurer. I have been gratified by the unsolicited letters have received during the last Few days. offering me support. So en- couraged have become by the numer- ous promises of this kind that made up my mind to enter the race. I shall start at the proper time to make a thorough canvass of the entire State"
 MT. Gamers friends claim for him that he is eminently fit for the ofice to which he aspfres. They point to his remarkable success in Southeast Ala baina. where he Is best known. Of his rise from the level of a poor boy with no property or Income to his present position as President of the Ozark City Bank. and part owner of other big properties. his friends also tell with pride.
