DREAD DISEASE KILLS
CHILDREN BY THOUSANDS

The most alarming danger to the
children o fthis country today is the
rapid spread Of the disease known as
~infantile paralysis. According to an
article in Hampton's Magazine tor
December there are from 10000 to u.s.
900 cases OF the disease in the United
States at present, and authorities place
the minimum number Of cases since
1906 at 100000. The article is writ
ten by DIR. Jacolyn Manning, who was
secretary Of the West Wisconsin Dis
trict Medical society and in charge Of
the work OF stamping out the epidemic
there. During the past year DE-. Man
ming has made q speciality OF the study
of ~infantile paralysis and her held has
been national in scope. The following
extract from her article shows the
fearful ravages OF the disease:
"This disease, infantile spinal para
kysis, has prevailed in epidemic form
in the United States during tie past
four In 1907 it swept the
North Atlantic seaboard. In 1908 Wis
consin wal visited by an epidemic OF
i've hundred cases reported by me.
The Massachusetts epidemic OF nine
hundred and twenty-trhee cases in 10Y
was reported by DR.. Robert Lovett, OF
Boston. Pennsylvania Las reported
eight hundred cases for the summer OF
1910. Rhode Island, Minnesota, Iowa,
the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Wash
ingtOn and ldaho-au have paid fear
full toll, while other states have not
been exempt.
STATISTICS are difficult to get, as
the disease has been placed but lately
ON the r~eportaDle list by the boards OF
health OF the most seriously menaced
states. A conservative estimate from
authoritative sources places the mini
Y number Of cases since 1905 at
100000. There are 10000 to $4,000
cases in the United States at present.
OF every hundred cases fifteen rsult-
ed in death, ten completely recovered,
and sixty or more were left with per
mansnt paralysis Of one or more
limbs. This means that six or seven
children in every ten attacked by the
disease, are doomed to 20 through the
years without the complete use Of their
bodies, . small percentage with both
legs useless, some with q leg or an arm
withered, some with teet dubbed and
mishapen-but all handicapped in
some degree for the race of life"

HUNTSVILLE FIGHT
WILL BE TAME ONE

Huntsville. August 20.-(Special.) ,
The municipal campaign here has
started off with vigor though there is
lack of the old-time animosity be-
tween the factions this time and not
much likelihood that this spirit will
again be aroused. There are only two
candidates for mayor. Muse Shields is
the candidate for the administration
and If he is elected 1t VIII be regarded
as a vindication of the policies of the
administration. City Attorney R. Earl
Smith is the candidate of the opposition.
Both men are counting considerably on
their personal popularity and the issue
will not be clear-cut by any means. J.
Peyton Fuller, Jesse 3. Young and NJ.
NJ. Cantrell are candidates for the pres
idency of the city council, and there are
IL candidates for seats in the council.
The ardor Of the candidates has not
been diminished by the announcem mt
coming from Senator Spragins that he
intends to introduce a bill in the state
senate doing away with the present
government of the city and creating a
commission government. 1t is the gen
eral belief that no election on this Ques-
tion having been held, the commission
form would not go into effect until aft
er the expiration of the terms Of the
officers who are to be chosen in the
approaching election.

POSSE CONTINUES
SEARCH FOR NEGRO

Bay Minette, August 20.-(Special- III
the story told by one of the drivers
employed at Owen still, about Is miles
south of here, Is true. the negro who
shot and instantly killed Town Mar
shall Smith Wednesday evening, may yet
be brought to justice.
Word was brought to town this morn
ing by Mr.. Owens, the owner of the
turpentine still, that the negro who did
the killing had told one of his (Owen's)
drivers how he shot the officer and stated
that he was headed for Waltons still
As soon as the word spread a new posse
of heavily armed men quickly formed and
set out for the still where they hope to
effect the capture.
Some of the men who had taken up the
trail the first night and had returned
to their work were the first to respond
to the call.
The story brought by Owens eliminates
all possibility of the negro who Is con-
fined in the local Jail being the one who
is wanted.

hiked Immediately to New York. Capt.
P. J. Rogers goes to his office via Pratt
City. Alderman Mcdowell has worn him
self TO a FRAGILE lodging the near win
ners In the contest.
To resume, when Uncle Jimmie first en-
tered the contest, he interviewed his
friend, II. w. Luther, the florist. as to
the nature of the plants he should set
out. He had a fair knowledge of plant
ing cabbage or onions, but flowers were
new departure for him. Mr.. Luther
gave Jimmie quite lecture on plants in
general and explained the various nat
ural causes that made them blossom and
grow.
He explained the termination Of the
seed, and the effects of the rain and sun
shine by which the flowers attained their
fragrance, growth and beauty. Most of it
was Greek to Jimmie. but the one fact
firmly impressed on his mind was that
the rain and sunshine made the flowers
bloom and grow pretty.
So Jimmie went to work and won the
prize as above stated One of the first
persons to congratulate him was Luther.
AS next day was Sunday, Jimmie invited
him out to see his garden and flowers.
The invitation was accepted next day,
Luther repaired to the house of his
friend. The morning was warm the sun
played hide and seek with the clouds,
at times together. AS he neared Jimmie's
domicile, he was somewhat astonished to
see him standing in flower bed. bare
footed and bareheaded. His feet were
covered with the rich soil, his face turned
to the morning sun.
What on earth are you doing there"
oreried Luther. "You want to know" re-
piled Jimmie; don't you tell me dot der
rain und sunshine make the flowers bloom
und grow pretty?" IT certainly did," said
Luther. "vel, If 1t make the flowers
grow bootiful. maybe 1t make me grow
bootiful, too"
The astonished Luther nearly swooned,
he tried shrek he could only gasp, he
grabbed the fence for support. There
stood Jimmie, the warm gentle rain was
falling on his rugged countenance that
was as mmoveable as the carved image
on an Indian Totem pole.
Luther gathered himself together and
beat It, Jimmie watched the retreating
figure until he was out of sight, then
knowing smile o'rspread his features.
Shaking the real estate from his pedal
e1tremities, he retired into the house,
and, standing before a large mirror he
deliberately winked at himself.

HEFLIN TALKS ON
PARTY PROSPECTS
CONGRESSMAN EXPECTS TO SEE
THIS FALL THE HEAVIEST DEMO-
CRATIC MAJORITY EVER ROLLED
UP IN ALABAMA

That the democratic party in Alabama
will pass through the forthcoming cleo
ton safely and will find itself stronger
after the election that ever before was
the opinion of Congressman J. Thomas
Heflin, who was in birmingham yester-
day.
He said that in his county, which was
the home of Joseph o. Thompson, the
republican standard bearer, the demo-
Gratis will pile up larger majority for
the straight ticket than ever before.
when the time rolls around for the
election said Congressman Helm, you
will find that every true and tried demo-
crat will be in line and ready to face the
muskets of the enemy. 1t is savage
instinct to cut down the tree for fruit
But civilized people wait until the fruit
is ripe, shake the tree and the ripened
fruit drops to the ground and Is gathered
The democrats who were not chosen by
the people are going to wait. They are
not going to destroy the great tree Of
democracy and thus kill their chances
again. The faithful kind will wait four
years and will ask the people to assist
them again. I favored some of the de-
feated candidates and some of the lost
measures But no one can think for a
moment that I am not going to support
the regular nominees of the party.
lone of the men who supported Col.
H. S. D. Mallory a few months ago told
me he did not feel right over the result
I told him that his general Colonel Nal
lory was for ONeal and would vote for
him at the election. I then said If your
general is in the ranks fighting for demo-
cratic men and principles does 1t be-
come a private soldier to rebel? He said
l was right and that he would get In line
1t will be found this way all along the
line. I have no doubt but that the party
this fall will roll up the largest majority
in the history of the state.
THE indications are all over the coun-
try that the democrats will win. If we
carry the next House, then the President
will be safely a democrat. II the Hon
orabIe Judson Harmon of Ohio carries
that state for governor he will be nomi-
mated for President and sure as fate
will be elected. 1 have never in all my
life seen the chances for true and tried
democracy so bright

STALLINGS BACK
FROM CLANTON
ARE BEING FORMED AGAINST
CERTAIN DEMOCRATS ALL COME
FROM REPUBLICAN SOURCES

Campaign Chairman Jesse Stallings re-
turned yesterday from Clanton, in Chiffon
county, where he attended the meeting of
the Chiffon county executive commit
tee He returned enthusiastic with the
belief that the democrats will win that
county, after a lapse of 20 years.
1--WE have crackerjack ticket he
said, land the democrats are In fighting
mood. Judge Reynolds has been the re-
publican boss there so long that the peo-
pie are firing of it. Half the republic
ans are against him and want change.
w. P. Callen who will manage the county
democratic campaign, Is a strong fell
low. and W. M. Adams, the chairman of
the executive committee, will carry many
votes.
IT. A Curry, who is candidate for the
senate in Autauga, Chiffon and Shelby,
is a fine fellow, and will be elected with
out any trouble. Secretary F. NJ. Woods
Is making a canvass by precincts and he
has a republican honor roll with several
hundred names pledged to vote the demo-
cratic ticket.
ION Saturday, September 10, mass
meeting will be held in Clanton to nomi-
nate democrat for the legislature, and
this will fill the ticket. On Saturday,
the 18th, a great barbecue and speaking
will be given at Clanton. More than 5000
people will be there. and will be the
opening of the great campaign in those
counties. Both Colonel ONeal and S. J.
Bowie will speak, and we will let the re-
publicans smell the fire that is sure to
burn them out in November"
Mr.. Stallings, attention was called to the
printed statement that coalitions are be-
ing formed against F. e. St. John, the
democratic nominee for the senate from
Cullman. Blount and Winston and others.
He said:

tionists are about to form combination

Splelberger Brothers, whose store
was recently destroyed in the big fire
on First avenue, will soon have their
shop ready for occupancy again. In
placing the contract for the rebuilding
of their store this enterprising firm
made 1t one of the conditions that none
but local labor should be employed

the hands of home industry. The
Queenstown Manufacturing company
has secured one Of the largest con-
tracts ever placed with them for fit,
ting up place of business. The plans
call for mission style furniture

the finest in the entire south. The

Bauer, Blossom And Beauty
BY C. H. MANDY

"A thing of beauty is a Joy forever"
This epigram applies equally to cities,
people and things. Having this fact
in view, the great United States Steel
corporation inaugurated a city beau
tiful' contest at Ensley, offering sub
stanttal prizes for the best kept home
and grounds in the resident part of
the city.
By the irony of fate the first prize,
800 for the most beautiful home, was
won by the most unbeautiful man, SO

noted for their ugliness.
He Is tyler of the Masonic lodge

of "cowans and eavesdroppers'' APP

Person al and General

There were few pays today, but busi-
ness was brisk up to late hour. The
streets were very quiet tonight and the
police had little trouble Ia handling the
crowds.
It is understood that there will be a
mass meeting of citizens Of Bessemef In
the near future in regard to the annexa-
ton of Jonesboro.
John owen, a miner employed at Sloss
mines, was badly injured this morning by
a premature explosion. He was brought
to Bessemer, where It was found neces-
sary to amputate one arm.
W. f. Nolan left today for Syracuse,
N. Y, where he will attend the National
Association Of Fire Chiefs.
