Blood Poison can never be cured with mercury or potash. You might as well know this first as last. Medical au- can do is to drive the blood poison back into the system and smother 1t for several years. Then when you think you are cured, pitiful mercury symp- toms will break out, and you find that your bones have been rotting all the while Your teeth will begin to loosen and your tissues, glands, brain and vital organs will show the terrible de-

Jones in State Service.

Few men have had a more notable ca- reer in Alabama life than Judge Jones. When lad he went with Gordon to war, after the conflict to plead for peace and a belief that the war was over and the people united again He headed the stay at homes when pestilence came with its terrors and death, and became governor in times that men found almost as scary as in the days of '61. He stood with the soldiers he led and helped to clothe and equip against mob rule, and interpreted a labor statute that had in its effect the virtual re-enslavement of the ignorant negro. He has made 8 great judge, and is regarded as one of the profound con- stitutional lawyers of the south.
 Conner Also a Winner.
 Gov. B. B. Conner is much like Jones, only different He came to the fore in times of revolution In politics and led a movement that resulted in the most re- markable victory that has ever come to a state leader. Dominating a legislature, he has seen rate and rail line laws enact ed and declared good by the courts. And also a prohibition code that beats the world. He has been party to a fine line of school laws and much develop ment in this class Of effort. He has won in almost every respect in his public life. No matter what some may think of the things he has done or the service he has rendered, the fact remains that he has, with one notable exception, made a hard fight to carry out the platform.
 What 1t Is All About.
 So the people-the thinking, patriotic people-are asking what it is all about Both men have integrity and good name and both are serving the people. Both peculiarly, are open in law-making and interpreting way, to the same charge ot environment" If Judge Jones can not interpret law justly about railroads, how can the governor make andrinspire law, and defeat law, about the working of children in mills? So 1t looks to be mighty foolish in these two men to fly at each other as they are doing. but it looks like they are going to keep it up.

BOTH MEN HAVE BEEN
 NOTABLE WINNERS
While Both Men Are Probably Open to Charge of "Environment" 1t Appears UnseenIy for Both
 to Throw Rocks.
BY HERvEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery, October 9.-(Special.) 1.-The controversy between Gov. B. B. Conner and Judge Thomas G. Jones, which has broken out anew in the press. Is not to say the least of 1t, rehecting any credit upon the state. The spectacle of two men, both high in the list of brave and honorable gentlemen, throwing mud at each other, like they are, is only another evidence of the deplorable condition into which the strenuous times of the last few years have brought the state. This much is fact, however-they are not goipg to get the rest of the people to believe the nasty things they are saying about each other.

The Moon and the Potato Crop.

The moon has nothing to do with the growth of potatoes. says a writer in Success Magazine" This state ment sounds about as self-evident as a commencement oration, yet, accord ing to a recent investigation by the department of Agriculture, 75 per cent. of our farmers have been planting potatoes and other crops according to the almanac. It is very general be- lief that potatoes planted in the dark of the moon produce the best crop. while the full moon variety are likely to run to tops"
 It seems a bit absurd to suppose that a respectable old moon like ours could find nothing better to do than to stap up nights running the potato crop. So Uncle sam, who has an un- quenchable curiosity in such matters, began poking into the moon myth and discovered that it deserved respect only because of it's age. His agricul- tural department workers found that they could raise just as poor potatoes in the dark of the moon as in the light.

Making the Meter Run Slow

The meter is the mechanical Ne mesis which purses the person who is too extravagant with electric light and it catches him good and proper when the regular monthly bills for current consumed come in for pay ment-with ten per cent off for being prompt.
 Many men have tried to make the meter run. slow. One .man of Jewish parents and facial architecture sifted ashes under the meter in his clothing store. knowing full well that the fine dust would penetrate the device and clog it's delicate mechanism-th meter ran slow, all right but Isaac had to hustle to keep out of durance vile by settling heavy damages.
 Another man there was who hit upon the plan of cutting out the meter entirely for a portion of the time each night, thereby carrying the cur rent around the meter without hav- ing to pay for it-he wound up Tn jail.
 Now there was another man who caused his meter to run slow but he was a clever fellow The lighting company knew his meter was slowing down but he walked boldly up the street, his buildings aglow with light, whistling a merry roundelay and they did not modest him, His meter was slow-but he did it in a perfectly legitimate day.
 The electric meter consists essen tially of a tiny motor which begins to run when the first lamp is turn ed on; the more lamps you turn on the faster this little motor speeds, and as it runs it turns, through a system of gears, the hands of the dial which register just how much current you are using and will have to pay for. It is quite important to the user of electric current that this little motor run as slowly as possi- ble

OTIS KANE REFERS TO THOSE
 WHO KNOW HIM
As Witnesses to His Good charac
 ter.

Otis Kane, whose marital troubles were incidentally aired in his prose- cuition of his father in law. R. c. Welch, on the charge of drawing a revolver on him, called at this office to state that he thought that he had been put before the community in a worse light than he deserved. MT Kane did not criticise the account which he said was a fair representa- tion of the evidence in the case Whatever unfairness there was was blamable, he said. to the practice of the defense in attacking his charac- ter in the testimony while his evil dence went only to the facts alleged to have been done at the time of the assault He had, he said, not utter ed a word during the trial against the character of his wife or her father
 As to his own reputation, Mir. Kane said that he would leave that in the hands of everybody who had known hing from the time he was a small Toy at Helena, Mont. where he had grown to manhood. He would leave it tohis employer and those who had associated with him since he had been in Phoenix
 He said he could have attacked the record of his father in-law back in Texas. but he did not think that that would have had anything to do with the alleged assault.
 MT. Kane spoke of another matter which had struck him as both funny and as something that made him little sore. That was the allusion of a little girl in the course Of the trial tC his new clothes. He said that if he could have told there how he came to have those new clothes it would have made an interesting story at the trial He had either to get those gaudy clothes or appear at the trial in overalls. for he said that his wife had chopped up all tEe raiment he had except what he had on.
