BORE FOR GAS.
We'll Is Sunk HOO Feet Near Fayette.
 Evidences of Gas.

Tayette, August 7.-(Special.)-Th Providence oil and Gas company, or ganized by Washington and Birming- ham parties. is prospecting for oil and gas two milcs east of Fayette on the Southern railroad. They commenced the first well on June 2S and are now down to a depth of HOO feet, having rone through four oil and two gas sands. The first oil sand being 25 feet and the second so feet. the third 40 feet and the fourth 20 feet thick. The two gas sands penetrated were close torether at depth of about TOO feet from the surface, the gas, when lighted, burned three or four feet above the derrick floor, The second and third sands were very strongly impregnated, and experts pronounce them paying sands. The company proposes to go to a depth of 2500 feet in order to ex- ploit and determine the number of sands in the field and then to exploit each sand separately at different loca- tions in the field. They have in their employ the most expert drill man to be found, who has experience in the largest fields in the United States. and he reports that they are undoubtedly in ono of the largest oil fields in the country. They are operating the larg- est outfit made for oil and gas work, and propose to prove up large dis eovsry for the people of Faystte county.

BUSY WEEK FOR
 THE LEGISLATURE Decks Are Cleared for Prohi-
 bition Action PROGRESS OF MEASURES John BarIeycorn Has Dire Prospects for Friday, the Thirteenth-Car- michael Bill May Be Signed
 Tomorrow Evening.
PROGRESS OF MEASURES
BY HERVEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery, August 7.-(Specia1 J. Decks are cleared for prohibition action next week, and by the time the unlucky prospect is that John Barleycorn will have been smitten hip and thigh and over any other part of his anatomy. Here is the outlook:
 Carmichael bill passed, but goes back to house with slight amendment for cler- ical error in caption. and should reach the governor not later than Monday after noon and be a law by supper time or dinner time, as you like 1t.
 Prohibition amendment bill with house approval ready for the senate, and should be reported Monday. though it did not reach the senate committee up to late Saturday night.
 Locker club bill and the monster 12, ,ooO- word Fuller measure on the house calen- dar with favorable report, and sure of passage as anything human is certain.
 Bill to regulate soft drink stands in the house committed.
 There are others. but these are the aris- tocrats of the movement, and candor makes one say that every one of them looks to be winner.
 Some of the Helpers.
 There are, however, some helpers that are expected to make the enforcement of the general plans easier. One provides for the impeachment of sheriffs or other officers who do not do their duty. The sheriff and solicitor have to proceed if there is as much testimony as revenue license in sight, or man Is known to have liquors shipped in. Special inves- tigation must be made by the solicitor and the sheriff in order to ferret out of lenders.
 And there Is another that provides for municipalities having as strong laws as the state, and have the same rights to impeach officers who fail to do the duty of the acts. Towns under this act may destroy liquors and prevent storage in such way so as to evade the prohibition acts. In a word, every feature of the sit- uation will be tied up hard and tight, and there will be no way for any kind of law officer to get out of trying to keep the law at least,

CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY
New Discovery Has RevolutiOnized the
 Treatment of Skin Diseases.

New Discovery Has RevolutiOntzed the
 Treatment of Skin Diseases.
 Nothing in the history of medicine has ever approached the success of the mar vicious skin remedy known as poslam, which, 1t is safe to say, has cured more cases of eczema and skin diseases than any remedy ever offered for these ills.
 The success of poslam is not at all surprising when it is considered that the skin stops itching immediately and cures chronic cases in two weeks. The very worst eases of eczema, as well as acne, herpes, letter, piles. salt rheum, rash. crusted humors, scaly scalp and every form of itch, yield to it readily. Blemishes such as pimples, red noses. muddy and inflamed skin disappear all most immediately when poslam Is ap- piled, the complexion being cleared over night
 Every druggist keeps both the 50-cent size (for minor troubles) and the $2 jar, and either of these may be obtained in Birmingham at Jacobs Pharmacy as well as other reliable drug stores.
 But no one is even asked to purchase poslam without first obtaining an ex- perimental package which will be sent by mail free of charge, upon request, by the Emergency Laboratories, 32 West Twenty-ffth street, New York city.

ANNISTON IS ON
 BUSINESS BOOM
LEADING BUSINESS MEN AND COR PoRATIoNS SUBSCRIBE 1 PER CENT OF TAX ASSESSMENT TO AN "UPBUILDlNG FUND."

Anniston, August 7.-(Special.) 1.-The panic has received solar plexus in An niston, and this city is now going for ward with steady, systematic strides in the path of prosperity. Probably the big gest and most significant movement un- dertaken for the public welfare this year was the inauguration of the so-called 'upbuilding fund" under which taxpay- CTS agree to give per cent of an amount equal to their tax assessments for the promotion of the industrial and commer- cial interests of the city. The first list made public giving the subscribers to this fund today shows the names of 80 of the most substantial business men and corporations of the city, which means thou iands of dollars during the next five years for the promotion of the growth of Anniston.
 Industrially everything tends toward optimism. All of the industries of the city, diversified and numerically large, are in operation with the exception of the Western Steel Car and Foundry plant which is being kept in constant readiness for orders from Pittsburg to fire up. The big United States cast iron pipe and foundry plant is running at its ca pacity in turning out record-breaking or ders from Cuba and San Francisco. The Central foundry plant has increased its capacity so as to give employment to about 100 more men and increase the monthly pay roll to $15,0OO. and General Manager Schumacher of the Union foun- dry announced today improvements which represent an outlay of thousands of dollars at his plant All of the cotton mills of the city have been running throughout the year. The Adelaide mill has just completed an extensive addition, the Planters mill has increased its force and working hours and the stockholders of the Anniston yarn mill are considering the doubling of the capacity of that plant The Woodstock iron works Is in better condition than 1t has been for many years and is being kept busy by the improve ment in the iron and steel market. The Lahman Manufacturing company has just increased its capital and will enlarge.
 In the building line l.. H. Kaplan, who has just completed the erection of new building which doubles the capacity of the American house, announces that he will begin work next week on three story business house. William H. Finn will at once rebuild pretentious structures in the place of the buildings destroyed on Noble street by the fire last week. The Noble Street theatre is being remod- eled at a cost of $33,0O0, and many mag nificent residences have recently gone up in various sections of the city.
 These facts have caused Annistonians to feel good, and pessimism Is now about as rare here as is humor in Dante's Divine Comedy.

Walt for Signal.

Huntsville, August 7.--(speciai.)-- All of the social clubs here are waiting for the signal from Montgomery to close out their locker system in &C., cordance with the Carmichael bill. sev eral of the clubs here are large and influential and their governing boards have no desire to become violators of any law. They have all had lockers since the dispensary act wont into ef- feet more than two years ago. Should the soft drink bill, forbidding the sale of drinks on any floor except the ground floor, go into effect 1t is proba- ble that two of the leading clubs would be compelled to go out of business, as their homes are upstairs.

CITY OF MEXICO, December 81
"You talk too much,' is in substance,
the comment which President Diaz
made to former President Zelaya of
Nicaragua in the course of a converse
ton yesterday afternoon. Mexico's
president gave the deposed dictator a
little friendly advice and cautioned him
to refrain from expressing his private
opinions too freely and promiscuously.
In particular President Diaz urged
Zelaya to refrain from talking with
newspaper reporters, and, above all, to
avoid discussing for publication, mat
ters connected with Nicaraguan state
affairs.
When Zelaya arrived here Wednes>
day, he brought with him two port
mauteaus filled with gold and third
literally bursting with paper money.
