Bessemer, April 23.-(Special. 1.-THE
| statement made by Percy Clark of Bir-
mingham last night in introducing Colo
mel Mallory has attracted considerable at
| tention in Bessemer and citizens have
commented freely upon 1t during the day.
Mr.. Clarks statement was as follows:
Although I have known Emmett O'Neal
most of his life, l have never known him
to do an honest days work at the bar or
anywhere else. Chairman Gardner
Goodwin of the O'Neal club has made a
comment on the words as follows:
when the advocates of a candidate
stoop to the desperation of personal abuse
such as was INDUCED in by Percy Clark
last night in his remarks relative to
Emmet o'Neal, it is only illustrative of
the TACT that they are without argument
and reduced to despair on losing cause.
I'VE feel assured, however, from sent
Tnents expressed by some of Colonel Nal
lorys supporters today that Mr.. Clark's
uncalled for unjustifiable and unkind re-
marks wherein he attacked the personal
character of Mr.. ONeal are not ap-
proved by his followers. Such charges
are undignihed and unbecoming and are
calculated to do more harm than good
to the cause they would seek to promote.
I'VE do not believe that Mr.. Mallory
indorses such charges upon the part of
his followers as he has throughout the
campaign held himself above personalities
and petty prejudices."
Mr.. Goowyn announces that before the
close of the campaign he will hold
rousing meeting for Mr.. O'Neal. An at
tempt was made to secure Mr.. O'Neal
as a speaker, but his dates were filled and
it was impossible. However, Mr. Good
wyn promises good speaking. He is very
confident of the result of the election and
predicts that Mr. O'Neal will have hand
some majority in the Bessemer box.

| CATARRH of the kidneys-that Is
what makes people have weak
backs. 1t is catarrh of the kidneys.
The kidney is being gradually de-
| stroyed by this arrangement.
The mucous membrane lining of the
kidney is inflamed-ulcerated.
The catarrhal products are irritative,
and are sapping away the vitality of
the kidney, which makes the back
weak.
This causes people to become old be-
fore their time-holding on to their
backs-unable to stoop over without

the muscles of the back.
Catarrh of the kidneys-that is what
