TOBACCO EXPERTS
 WILL EXPERIMENT

Brewton, February 1S.-(Special)-w. M Hihson and J. F. Blohm, government ex- perts from the department of agriculture at Washington, are in town Investigating the tobacco industry at this place. MT. Hinson has charge of the work of to- bacco culture throughout the south, while MT. Blohm will remain here most of the time in the future to conduct investiga- tions, make experiments, and give his ad- vice to those engaged in this enterprise at this place and at Marion.
 When seen by your correspondent these gentlemen had just returned from the farm of the Escambia Tobacco company and seemed highly pleased with the work that Is being conducted by this corpor- aton. They did not know that cigars were on the market made from Sumatra wrapper grown here last year, and when presented with a box seemed somewhat surprised. Both agreed that the goods showed up well, and MT. Hinson said: 'Of course you understand that you gentlemen have not complete Brewton cigar in these goods, but the wrapper shows a splendid color, burns nicely and evenly and has a delightful flavor. It takes three things to make good cigar a good filler, a good binder. having a good flavor that does not burn unevenly, does not char, nor detract from the de- lightfulness of the smoke, and equally as important, it must have a good wrapper. You people certainly have the latter, and l notice that the manufacturer of this cigar has been liberal with his Havana filler"
 He was told that the manufacturer of Brewton cigars had been using Brewton grown wrapper tobacco on $S5 goods, and said he saw. no reason why it should not be thus used. Filler tobacco will be grown this season.

HEALTH CONDITION
 OF THE NEGRO

Tuskegee, February 1S.-At today's ses- sion of the National Negro Workers con- ference Dr. s. P Lloyd, formerly assist ant city physician of Savannah made the statement that TOO negroes In the city of Savannah are living in a space of 1900 by 2100 feet square, this by actual meas urement, whereas every person ought to have from 300 to 1000 cubic feet air space.
 The health commission frequently found five persons living in one room eight by twelve feet square, Similar conditions, according to Dr. IAoyd's observation obtained in Jacksonville, New Orleans, Norfolk and Evansville, Ind.
 Tn the district in Savannah to which l refer," he said, ''at least 400 two-room houses, whose actual measurements are six by eight and eight by ten feet, are being erected. These are not houses, but death traps"
 We have not succeeded" he contin- ued, 'in teaching our people the value of sunlight and air, the result of which is the enormous amount of pneumonia, tuberculosis and diseases of children" He stated that the only remedy for this condition was education.
 The remainder of the days session of the conference was devoted to the discus sion of ways and means in which the negro ministers, teachers and doctors could assist in improving the general health conditions.

The Man Who
 Ea ES We'll
And Enjoys Food, Lives Life as He
 Should and Gets the Most From 1t.

The man who eats is the man who works, and the man who works is the man who wins. Tireless workers depend upon a storehouse of vim and vigor. India is noted for it's fasters and it's dreamers Europe and America for their eaters and their workers.
 In America we have been doing nothing but work this past quarter of a century. That is why our old men say, Tn my days no one had dyspepsia" Of course, all men in those days ate and worked, now they work and eat.
 If eating interferes with business, men give up eating. This is good logic for the dollar-getter, but poor wisdom for the man who really wants to live.
 Abuse of anything God given results in punishment, and man is a pigmy when it comes to cheating his system.
 If you take from the system that which is intended should remain, or put into it that which is intended should be kept out you are cheating yourself, and sooner or later pay the penalty.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are concen- trated vegetable and fruit essences which give the system every fluid, stimulant and Ingredient necessary to gain the fullest strength from everything which goes into the stomach, or to keep from the system everything which should not lay and decay in it.
 If you will eat fast and improperly, if you will drink and eat irregularly and to excess, then give to Nature as you do so enough of the essences she demands to neutTalize the bad effects of your habits.
 After meal take a Stuart Dyspepsia Tablet, and the meal won't hurt you or your stomach
 At a midnight dinner take a Stuart Tablet and you will sleep well and get up without breath which is filled with the decay of the midnight meal.
 Fortify your stomach like you do your business. Fortunes when lost can be re- gained, but the stomach outraged stays with you to the finish, and you know 1t is there.
 If you want to know what these tablets will do, buy a package from any druggist, price 50 cents, or send us your name and address and we will send you a trial pack age free by mail. Address F. A. Stuart Co, 15O Stuart Building, Marshall, Mich.

JIM POWELL DIES.
Union Springs Is Working To Beau
 tlfy the Town.

Union Springs, February 1S.-(Special) J. News was received here today of the death of Jim Powell at his home in Llano, Tex. This notice brings sorrow to many hearts here, for 1t was here that Mr. Powell was born and reared, and was beloved by all who knew him. He was a grandson of the late R. H. Powell a son of the late J. B. and Myra Brown Powell. His parents died when he was about years old and he was reared by his aunt, Mrs. Virginia Pickett. He leaves three brothers, Holmes Powell of Tuskegee, Floyd Powell of Opelika and Bennie Powell of this place. Deceased was about 26 years of age and was strick- en about year ago with tuberculosis, but his relatives here were under the im- pression that he was about relieved of the trouble, and was steadily improV- ing, so his death came as a surprise to all The interment will be here.
 The Civic Improvement association held an enthusiastic meeting this morning in the council chamber. The reports from various committees showed that much active work had been done and that the citizens were responding gladly to sug- gestions and requests of the association. The chairman of the downtown district reported progress along the line of inn proVement around the courthouse prem ises and said the fence around the mon uHltHl WOulu poSSlDly De 6IIdrSeQ ana the enclousure made beautiful with flowers. The bell tower will be beautfed and many merchants will move objectionable signs and the display of merchandise from the sidewalks. The entertainment committee reported that they had ar ranged for the observance of Tag Day. on Saturday February 27, and a mas querade ball on Friday, Ms ~ch 5. These entertainments are for the purpose of raising funds to beautify the city and will no doubt meet with a ready re- sponse for the whole town seems aroused and bent on making this town the banner City Beautiful of the state The mem bership committee reported only part of the town canvassed but 70 new names were added to the roll making the mem- bership 125. The council has promised and given notice, that the stock law will be rigidly enforced. so this gives many an opportunity to pull down delapidated fences Some literature from friends in Birmingham was read, including a letter from Mayor Ward all of which gave valuable hints as to how Birmingham had succeeded in beautifying their city and many of these suggestions will be applicable here.
