Ignite BEDS.
Prospectors Busy In the Neighborhood
of Cuba.

Cuba, November .-(Special.)-The dis
covery of fine samples of Ignite near here
leads to the belief that coal may be found
in paying quantities. The Ignite is bet
ter than most found and is heavier. 1t
will burn fairly well. Efforts are making
to have borings made of sufficient depth
OF determine whether there is coal, What
has been found is In the bottom of a lit
tie creek and runs back under a high hill.
For some days two presumed hoboes
have been working out in the hills here
and they are now believed to be prospec-
tors looking into the Ignite veins, and
they have been seen twice in that To-
caity and they have been overheard
talking about gas and oil. This section
corresponds very much to Toomsuba.
where several leases have been made by
Cincinnati parties to bore for gas. 1t Is
understood that we'll is to be sunk near
Toomsuba some time In December.

Marion beat where the amenders carried
the box by majority of Ave. The odds
against the amenders at this box consist
ed of all the county machinery, seven OF
the eight lawyers half the deacons of the
Baptist church, all the elders of the Pres
byterian church, and the former pastor,
half the trustees of the Methodist church,
and the town paper. This, considering
the fact that Marion had never before
voted in a prohibition election, will be
sufficient victory for the Marion amend

PROVED-CASE AROSE OUT OF
BELL SEARCH-OTHER NEWS OF
INTEREST IN BESSEMER.

Bessemer, November 30-(Special THE
case Of T. B. Wallace, chief of police.
who has been suspended under grave
charges in connection with the search of
the Bell home for the past few weeks,
was definitely settled this afternoon by
the police committee. Chief Wallace was
suspended ten days without pay. Con-
sidering the gravity of the charges this
sentence is considered as very light.

found that while Chief Wallace should

action Of Mayor Lewis was not approved
and the sentence was lighter on this
account This case closes the last chap
tor Of very bitter campaign in Bessemer

CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY
New Discovery Has RevolutioniEed the
Treatment of Skin niaeanea.

sew Discovery Has AevOlutfontEed the
Treatment of Skin Diseases.
Nothing in the history OF medicine has
Ner approached the success of the mar
Velous skin remedy known as poslam,
Which, 1t is safe to say, has cured more
Eases of eczema and skin diseases than
any remedy ever offered for these Ills.
The success of poslam Is not at all
surprising when 1t is considered that
the skin stops itching Immediately and
eures chronic cases in two weeks. The
fery worst cases of eczema, as we'll as
lcne, herpes. letter, piles. salt rheum.
rash, crusted humors. scaly scalp and
Pvery form of Itch, yield to 1t readily.
Blemishes such as pimples, red noses,
muddy and inflamed skin disappear al

hight.
Every druggist keeps both the bO-cent
Hze (for minor troubles) and the ~ jar.
bnd either OF these may be obtained

But no one is even asked to purchase

Means a Change.
So it means change in political line
up. Many leaders have helped to bring
1t about. New men are coming into
power and new laws and regulations
are likely to take the place or others
1t is even limited that the radical rail-
road acts may be repealed. Some think
to see in it return to the platform au-
thori1ed policy of local option. Others
see no more than a desire to end up
reform in the aggregate and secure
peace and to rebuks the women and
preachers for getting into politics. 9th
ers yet see In it a feeling of resent
mont that an outside man should come
In to teach the state morals and to crit
icise it's courts and other institutions.
But through 1t all Is the certainty that
1t means a change in men and probably
of policies at the state house. The day
of Comerism appears to be over and the
only thing left for him now il to make
good during his last year, which every
one feels is possible along many valuable
lines. But this is in his hands. If he
see we'll he may, go out we'll liked If not,
according to all political history, he will
go out with mighty few friends.
