SNAKE IN THE
 HEART OF TOWN

A nice, fat chicken snake, five feet in length, was killed at 2:3O o'clock this morning at the corner of First avenue and Twentieth street by a negro hack man. The snake was killed on the side walk in front of the Parker drug store, and at the time was headed directly for one Of the entrances. A large crowd of night workers and others were noti- fled of the snake's presence in the very heart of Birrninghams business center and gathered at the corner to witness the death.
 Just how the reptile happened to be in the vicinity proved quite a puzzle. The discussion regarding its birth and the like grew very warm, but the consensus of opinion was that prohibition was di- rectly the cause of 1t.

Dean Macon Speaks.


 When the reading of the letter was concluded Dr. Montague introduced Dr.. George w. Macon, dean of the college. Dr. Macon made an eloquent appeal for the patronage of learning. He showed how education takes the diverse minds of the country's young people and strives to overcome the disadvantages environment and peculiar personal equations. We do not realize" he said, "the awful seriousness of the problem of heredity the fixed and changeless limitations to which. we are subject at our birth how We are all of us but the product of preceding his tory. Had our ancestors but realized it. many of us would be tonight dif- ferent people in many respects from what we are.
 "Education also prepares the stu dent to master the situations in which he finds himself due to the irrevoca- ble decree of his previous environ ment. It enables him to strengthen his will, to turn an eye upon his own E Ot means of education, the environment of our youth. It is of equal benefit in aiding to solve the problem of per sonal equations. Ignorance is the greatest of crimes, the curse of every age. The sole function of the edu- cated should be the serving of the ignorant. Education Is our first duty as citizens"
 The next to be introduced was Mr. Belton .Gilreath, who made short speech in which he complimented Dr. Montague as president of Howard col 1ege-and expressed his pride in the progress of the institution. pr. Mon- tague referred to the speaker as gentleman who was ever cheerful in striving to promote the interests of the college.

HOW TO GET FAT.
Use samose, Says Druggist McGrath
Bros. and Put on Good Flesh.


d The almost universal interest in
physical culture is tae' best evidence
that can be offered as to the need of a
simple and scientific method of MAX
ing thin people fat, increasing strength
and restoring health.
Athletics, when carried to an ex-
IRENE, often result in straining the
vital organs. How muc.l better it
would be for the average person to
regain health, strength and flesh by
using Samose. This flesh-forming
food is assimilated as soon as it enters
the stomach; it helps the organs to
assimilate tae food and extract the
flesh forming elements; it builds up
the muscles and rounds out the limbs
into shapely plumpness.
Samose has been so successful in
making thin people fat, and restoring
the weak and run down to strength
and health that McGrata Bros, the po-
pular druggists sell under their per-
sonal guarantee to refund the money
If it does not benefit. Sent postpaid

SPLITTING NUISANCE
Hawking and Splitting is Caused by
catarrh Germs.

If the local authorities want to
stop the disgusting habit of splitting
mucous on the sidewalks, they had
better instruct the people as to the
best method Of killing the catarrh
germs and curing catarrh.
You can easily tell by reading the
symptoms below whether you have ca
tarrh or not:
Offensive breath, frequent sneezing,
discharge from nose, stoppage of the
nose. huskiness Of the taroat, tickling
in throat, droppings in throat, cough,
pain in chest, loss Of strength, var
liable appetite, spasms of coughing,
low spirited at times, raising of mu-
cous, difficulty in breathing, .oss Of
vital force.
Wilkinson & Co. have sensible rem
'edy (money back II it fails) for ca
tarrh, called Hyomei. which is va
porized air so antiseptic that when it
is breathed over the inflamed and
germ-infested mebmrane, it kills all
germ life and cures catarrh.
The price, including hard rubber in
haler, is only $1.00 and money back
If it doesn't cure. Extra bottles, SO
cents.
Il have tried almost every catarrh
cure on the market without benefit.
Have been using Hyomei for one week
and feel like new man already. =
