TRY THIS FOR COLDS

Mix half ounce of Concentrated pine compound with two ounces of glycerine and a half pint of good whisky; shake it well each time and use in doses of a teaspoonfm to tablespoonful every four hours.
 These ingredients can be obtained from any good druggist who will prepare the mixture, or 1t can be mixed at home.
 This is said to be the quickest cough and cold cure known to science. and at the same time it has splendid tonic effect which benefits the whole system. The Concentrated pine is special pine product refined for medical use and comes only in half ounce bottles, each enclosed in a tin screw-top case, which is air-tight. to retain all the original strength of the fluid, but be sure 1t is labeled Concentrated"

WATERWORKS PLANT
 IS PROGRESSING
Coal Company Is Pushing New
 Developments
OUTPUT TO BE INCREASED
Etowah Commissioners Will Probably Offer Reward for Hawkins Murderer and Also Provide for the Pur-
 chase of BIoodhounds.

Gadsden, January 2s.-(special)- The work on the extension of the wa ter plant is progressing faster than was anticipated because of the continued fine weather for outdoor employment If weather conditions continue favor able the contract of the company do- ing the work will have been executed and the plant ready to be turned over to the city for service.
 The Corinth Engine and Boiler Works that has been doing the work has an option on making any further extension that may be undertaken by the city within the next few months at the same rate of compensation as that paid on the present contract, but it is not probable that anything further will be done at this time.
 The Line Creek Coal and Coke com pany, operating the mines at Sligo, Is continuing its line of developments and now has three openings from which coal is being taken. The output is now about 25 tons a day and is of good quality for steam and domestic purposes. The coal is being used on the engines of the Nashville, Chatta- nooga and St. Louis railroad and on the river steamers at Guntersville.
 H. H. Camp, who Is at the head of the enterprise, Is a real hustler and hopes to have the working capacity Of the mines at 50 to 60 tons within a short time The transportation rate
 4ha tfTafI nf the mines will doubtless be largely consumed in this city.
 Seaborn Jones, through his attorneys, Bilbro. Inzer & Stephens and O.. B.. Roper, has filed suit against the Ala bama Consolidated Coal and Iron com pany in the sum of $5000 for injuries sustained while employed in the mines of the company.
 When the commissioners court meets next month there will be two matters out of the ordinary to claim the at tention of the county guardians. The one will be that of offering suitable reward for the apprehension and con- yiction of the man or men who are responsible for the death of the late w. H. Hawkins, and the other Is that brace of bloodh ounds for use In trall- brace of blood hounds for use In trail ing criminals.
 There is little doubt that a reward will he offered for the Hawkins mur- derer as public sentiment Is strongly in favor of the proposition.
 The matter of the dogs has been be- fore the board for some time, but there has always been considerable opposi- ton to making the purchase. It Is probable, however, that in the light of the recent instances where we'll tratned dogs would have secured crim- inals that have thus far eluded the pursuit of the officers that this propo- sition may now also be settled in the affirmative.

OFFICER MAY BE IMPEACHED
Henry H. Barnes, a We'll Known Planter of Montgomery County, Is Dead-Widows May Be-
 come Pensioners.

Montgomery, January 2S-(Special)- There is an impression in the city and state that the sheriff of Mobile county may be held to account in a legal way for the lynching of the negro Robertson last week. It is well known that Cover nor Conner has instructed the local solic- itor to keep an eye on the situation and he and Attorney General Garber are in touch with the situation.
 The law is now ample it is thought to impeach a sheriff if it Is desired to do so Information in cases of this kind is furnished by the attorney general and the case is tried before the supreme court. An effort to impeach the sheriff of Madi- son county four years ago was a failure, but at that time there was no act to put into effect the constitution to this effect. There is now, and the court could either take testimony direct or by deposition
 Governor Conner was out of the city to- night. Attorney General Garber would only say that he and the governor are keeping in touch and working with the solicitor at Mobile. He did not care to discuss the matter further feeling that there was nothing for him to say He had pile of correspondence on his desk which he was looking over and which was taken to be in regard to the Mobile case.

Widow Pensioners.

Widow Pensioners.
 Attorney General A. M. Garber has ruled that a widow of a Confederate sol dier can have her name put on the pen sion rolls by having her credentials tes- tified to by two reputable witnesses. Opin- ion was sought by Auditor Brandon. It says: You will observe Jaw having been quoted) that the widow named therein shall be placed on the pension record upon certain proof of two reputable witnesses. It is my judgment that the affidavit of two witnesses deposing to the facts re- quired and the certification by the coun- ty board that the two affiants are reputa- ble citizens, would constitute substantial compliance with the law on this subject V

What THEY ]. SAY

" CT. .Sundahl of Orr. N. = D., by
mail H. T. Buckley, the author Of
the History of English civilization, once
said. there is one wise act that any
Legislative body can pass, and that is
an act to repeal some former acts" !,
This advice by this author seems to
have taken hold on most all American
Legislators in later days, and with our
own state of North Dakota this seems
80 have been procedure much in use.
sIf the intent of this Practice Act" so
to speak, have been the intent and the
view in mind that we, as a free(?)
people, do not need much law or laws
to govern. *: 's>.:'T r
HI do believe and have believed ever
since became an American citizen,
and still maintain that the people of
this country, if they have any mixing of
their Puritan blood left in their veins,
III lis not the great libraries of laws
passed that makes the best social gov
sernment. Their forefatherss who built
this government, built it on the the
sory4 that the people who are least gov
Serned are best governed; that the fewer
the laws, the better observed, and as
the forefathers of this land believed in
no stack or magazine Libraries OF laws
We do not want them rapidly made. -
If these principles had been within
the minds of most Of our state legisla-
tive assemblies in the past, it would
/ III whatever way you look at it, have
been better. - :. y, ~.
S In this connection (regarding our
own state law making) I come to think
of the story of the Irishman and his
wife: ,,'.1<
Their family experiences had not at
all times been the rosiest and finally his
wife fell sick and his friends told him
she had to be taken. to the hospital, and
Pat5did so. He went to the hospital the
next day and inquired as to her condi-
ton and was told she was improving,
and he went the next day and she was
s.immproving," but the fourth day
s.siimnproving," but. the fourth day
swhenshe inquired, they informed him
that she was dead. Pat walked slowly
upthe street, when meeting some
of his friends, he told them that his
swifd was dead and when asked the cause
of her death, Pat replied, she died of
too much Improvement
have often thought this to be the
with our law making in this state.
Our laws become dead !, or a dead let
sterpa, of too much Improvement.
Another thing I have often given

much thought is this !: II being fact
that there is hardly any law on our
statute book but most individuals with
any mind of their own, will question
their validity, or constitutionality I, OF
most all measures not tested before the
states high courts. r r.. !. .2- 1

initiative measures. (Bilis) formulated
by the people, sent up to that body and
which eyer they find to be good, or,
as attorneys question, constitutional:
Then let It be, referred to the whole
people and for them to. say which of
these laws they wanted. Would this
overcome this always doubling its con-.
stitutionality :? We must not forge:
that we have moral law, a written
statute accepted and adopted by the
people, all tested under. the fundamental
measure, the constitution.
While / am a distant observer of the
doings of our present legislature, I,
with many others, find and have at ali
times found that there is tendency
for too many measures of appropriating
tax money and other public fund money
away, and they are already in this SEES
sion in strong evidence. 49, ,:~s4 I:
At this session there is no excuse,
for the majority are insurgents -
Simon pure, so to speak, and they
should avoid all popular doubt in this
respect.
So far as I have been informed /
find among other things, the Good
Roads Movement" is all right so far as
the name conveys, but am much afraid
that it principally is with centralized
mind, and the object is this: The cit
les and their automobile, enthusiast,
want good road and its movement for
a highway, a Grand Trunk road, so to
speak, for their principal use, first and
foremost at the expense of all the road
tax builders. And next for the gen
eral good (now, you watch and see
if that is not the center figure in that
billy, they will introduce, and the man
of the turf in this legislature should
look into that part of it. That we want
a better road law for the improvement
of our public highways is evident, and
it is one measure that the farmer ag
gregation should be bent on getting Il
mean those representing us at Bis
marck), but it should be measure for
all the users of our highways and prin-
cipally for the drafters of tonnage and
that is the farmers.
In this connection let me not forget

father of good road measures, y as the
