THE SOUTH is ALL RIGHT.

The people of the north, knowing that,
if the truth was known, that the timber,
iron, coal, soil and the great eli
mate and citizenship of the south was
unequalled in the United States, all kinds
of misstatements were made to keep
desirable immigration from settling in the
southern states. The rail roads industri-
ously at northern seaports, and in foreign
countries, poisoned the minds of those who
wished to build homes in the United States
against the south.
The large negro population was work
ed for all it was worth to scare them
away.
The whole country was described as a
vast swamp, filled with poisonous in
sectsI and malaria. When those SLAM
ders were refuted and shown to be false
hoods, pellegra was heralded as disease
caused from eating bread made from
meal ground from unsound corn raised
in the south.
There is pellegra here, but if caused
from unsound meal, the meal came from
from the north, where corn is often
gathered before fully matured, and made,
into meal by INSCRIPTIONS millers. The
the sensible thing for the south to do is
to raise its own corn for bread, and quit
buying the northern article.
BY some its claimed that pellegra can
be communicated from the scales from
one affected, and that the loathesome
disease was brought to this country by
Italian immigrants. The south will do
we'll to stop the Dago from coming.
Have the planters to not rent, or sell
them land, and the railroads not en-
ploy them.
But the latest SANDER is that the south
is suffering from the Hook worm, the
disease that is claimed makes the lazi-
ness of body and weakness of mind so
prevalent among southern people. The
investing of foreign capital in great
enterprise, has been of great benefit,
but her native sons have done well
in its upbuilding when four year old
civil war had left bankruptcy.
A southern man takes Harriman's place
in the railrod world, and other south
erners are controlling spirits in large
railroad corporations In finance, in the
professions, in craftsmanship, Dixie is fast
assuming the high position held before
the war The Hook worm may affect
some, but Mississippi with seven native
sons in the United States Senate, another
in President Taft's cabinet, and thous-
ands of others filling high places all
over the country shows up as well as
any state in the union.
If Mr.. Rockefeller,who has given $1,000
900 to fight the hook worm,would re-
duce the price of his oil, to the figure
that will yield an honest profit, the
people of this country can enjoy reading
and laughing over the vain attempts that
designing millionaires are making
TO SANDER the south, whose future IS
bright and whose progress nothing can
stop.
The south does not care for sympathy
but wants justice. Had not the south
been robbed on oil and iron she would
need no help to fight the hook worm and
could build her own libraries. =

says cotton will go to 20 cents, and one
thing sure is that the crop is so short
it will quickly go back to regents.

PATSY IS GLASS
 AT JACKSONVILLE

Jacksonville. Fla, December 11.-tSpe- cial. .)-Patsy, the public choice. today won the St. Augustine handicap stakes in a common canter. Jack Parker, admirably placed by Jockey Powers. was second. with Grena Green third. The way the race was run Patsy can easily be rated the best router shown at southern winter race meetings since the days of Intrusive and McChesney.
 or in tangle, the gallant and greatly improved son of Peep O'Day was messed about for the first six furlongs. then when Butwell. who was up, finally did deter mine to make his move, he had two horses to beat. The superiative courage of Patsy and his outstanding class, how ever, overcame these disadvantages and he won with lots to spare. Jack Parker, who finished second. was carefully and judiciously reserved in front, and to these tactics and the slow early pace can be attributed his closeness to the winner at the end, because as . race they cannot be mentioned in the same breath. Gretna Green, also poorly ridden, was messed about throughout, and under a choking pull during the early stages having noth- ing left when the real racing began. The race was worth sseo to the winner.
 In tho days opener the 6elby Bros. made one of the bigSsst killings of the season when Tom Holland won.

 TO OPEN ORPHEU M

New Orleans December n.-(Special.)- Martin Beck, ''Czar of Vaudeville as he is known in the theatrical world, left New Orleans tonight for Birmingham to arrange for the opening of his new Or pheum theatre there, formerly known as the Hippodrome.
 The addition of Birmingham to Becks' long chain of high-class vaudeville houses is another indication of his belief in the southern theatrical field and it's possibilities.
 '"The Orpheum circuit Is going to give Birmingham the best class of vaudeville that can be secured" said MT. Beck to an Age-Herald correspondent just before he boarded. the train for Birmingham. Our standard of advanced vaudeville will be maintained just as carefully in the Ala bama City as in New Orleans. feel con- hdent that the theatre-going public of the former city will support an orpheum the atre."
 From Birmingham MT. Beck goes to New York, where are situated his general offices. When asked who would manage his new playhouse in Birmingham the famous vaudeville maSnate stated that he did not care to announce the name at this time.

FOOTBALL EXPERTS
 VIEW RUGBY GAME

New York. December r.-(Special )-In g test game of football along the lines played by the Rugby teams of Canada, the Hamilton Tigers defeated the Ottowa Rough Riders at Van Courtlandt park this afternoon by the score of Il to 6. The game was hard fought and fast at all times, but Hamilton showed superior training and stamina throughout. The winning IA proved the more aggressive al- ways and handled the ball accurately. Ottawa's costly fumbling robbed the Rough Riders of many openings.
 Aside from the game itself this first ex- hibtion of Canadian Rugby in the United States was interesting because of the countless brilliant authorities on the American college sport on hand to criti- else the style of play with a view to utilizing it's best phases in a modification of our own game. Walter Camp, dean of the authorities. was on hand with Ted Coy of Yale and Staggs. coach of Chicago university.

The Dyspepsia
 Of Old Age
Strong Digestion and an Adequate Nutrition Invariably Mean a Long
 and Healthy Life.

There is a process known as meta bollsm going on constantly in the body, and by which the tissues are built up, and after having served their purpose in the physical economy, are torn down and cast off,
 So long as the due relation between waste and supply Is maintained, nutri- ton, and the various functions of the body are continued. But after middle life and in old age there comes time when waste exceeds supply, and when the various elements which constitute the different fluids, tissues and organs no longer hold their due proportion. and the principal of life itself becomes enfeebled, the body no longer having power to assimilate new material as 1t once did.
 As old age creeps on. all the func- lions grandually fail, especially those of digestion, absorption and assimna- ton, and the system being deprived of its full quota of nutriment. slowly wears out. If the nutrttive and diges- tive processes of old people could be maintained unimpaired. life could be prolonged almost indefinitely.
 There are many old persons in wh ose ,stomachs the gastric function is almost entirely suspended. When this trouble occurs, the problem is. how to digest the food and get along without the natural stomach juices. There is but one way to overcome the effects of this condition, and that is to supply arti- fcially to the stomach a powerful di- gestive substance to take tho place of the juices which 1t fails to secrete naturally.
 For this purpose. there is nothing superior to STUARTS DYSPEPSIA TABLETS known to medical science, as they supply the deficiency, and are such R reliable and thoroughly efficient sub stitute for the natural gastric Juices that if two or three are taken after each meal the food win be digested ir so complete manner that the natura digestive fluids will never be missed.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets should b, used by all old and middle aged per sons, in order to prevent or cure tn, dyspepsia of old age. Through thei use complete digestion of the food i assured, with consequent increase. nutrition of the body, and a staying of of the sensibility and decrepitude of ol age.
 This remedy is, however. not onr good for the indigestion incidental [ advanced life. but is also applicable t inc dyspepsia and stomach troubles ( my age. from youth up.
 Secure a package of this famous dys pepsia remedy from your druggist fo boc and if you find that as you ge older your digestion and assimilatio becomes weaker. this remedy will as rfst the stomach in the performance C fits functions. 70 that the general sys sem will not suffer from the deiin ouency of the digestive organs.
