some concern, as only few weeks re
main before the date for closing the
consideration of applications. 1t will
be impossible generally to extend the
application time limit. as to examine
the test" papers, with the necessary
care to insure the designation of quail
fed persons, will consume every mom-
ent of the time allowed for this phase
of the work Of selecting the enumerat-
ors, leaving nothing for an extension
of the date for shutting down on ap-
plications.
The Director therefore urges all per
sons desiring places as enumerators to
mako application as quickly as possible
and he hopes that, in order to help get
a perfect census, publc-spirited and en-
ergetic people throughout the country
will offer themselves for these positions,
even though they may not care for
them from the standpoint of the pay in
volved. He also trusts that employers
will deem it their duty to give leave of
absence to their employees who may de-
sire to act as enumerators. Some
slight sacrifice of this sort will be am
ply repaid by the improved quality Of
the census returns. Continuing, the
Director said:
Although the actual work of taking
the census will not begin until April Is,
it is essential that those who wish to
act as enumerators should apply i'm
mediatcly. Except under unusual cir
cumstances, no application received
after January 25 will be considered. A

competent person is entitled to apply
for this position, and will be fairly con-
sidered for appointment.

EXPECT BIG SALE OF
 RED CROSS STAMPS

New York. September 2.-(Special. )-Ar- engagements for the sale of Red Cross Christmas seals for 1910 were announced in a bulletin issued today by the Nation al Association for the Study and Pre- vention of Tuberculosis and the American Red Cross. "A million for Tuberculosis' will be the slogan of the 1910 campaign.
 Two features of the sale this year are unique and will bring considerable capi- tai to the tuberculosis fighters The American National Red Cross is to issue the stamps as in former years, but this organization will work in close co-opera- ton with the National Association for the study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, which body will share in the proceeds of the sales. The charge to local associa- tons for the use of the national stamps to 12k per cent which will mean at least s500OO more for tuberculosis work in all parts of the United States.
 The National Conference of Tubercu- losis Secretaries through it's president, Mir. John A. Kingsbury of New York has issued a letter calling upon all state and local anti-tuberculosis associations to unite with the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tubercu. losis and the Red Cross society in the sale of Christmas seals and the extermi- nation of tuberculosis Every effort will be made to discourage the use of local stamps and to encourage the distribution of the national stickers. It Is expected that over 430 anti-tuberculosis assocla- tions and hundreds of Red Cross societies in every state of the union will unite in the sale of Christmas seals.

TOMLINSON TALKS ON
 TENNESSEE SITUATION

Tate Spring. Tenn, September 2-(Spe- cia1.)-Col. John w. Tomlinson, demo- cratic national committeeman of Ala bama, commenting on the political situa- ton. said:
 Tn view of the bright prospect of suc- cess for the democratic party through out the country, any party differences or divisions anywhere are to be regretted. The situation in Tennessee is attracting attention out of the state. Democrats are anxious over the matter. They real ize divisions are not easily healed. On the other hand. the opposition to demo- cracy Is pleased.
 While many good democrats in Ten nessee supported the independent judici- ary on the ground that a judicial office is non-poitieal, many of them, I am glad to note look on the governors office as political, and will support the democratic nominee for governor. It is not, they say, a question of Patterson or not Patter- sen. but a question of democracy and in this the democracy of the nation agree with them
 'The republican party. realizing it's de- feat in the west. is seeking to split the democratic south. Will the democrats of Tennessee allow an entering wedge to be drven?"

HAD PSORIASIS FOR TEN YEARS.
Itching and Burning Terrible. Ap- pearance Worse. Had Specialists and x-Ray, with Some Success, Others without Relief. Used Cuti- cura. In 4 Days Relieved Inside of2 Weeks Cured.

"I had been suffering with psoriasis for period of ten years. It would dis, appear occasionally for year or SO and then return in worse form than before. The last attack came on little over g year ago, and by early summer had covered me all over. The itching and burning were terrible, and my appear ance was worse, had tried different specialsts and had had the X-rays used on me, sometimes with some success and at others without relief. In the early fall of 1909 l was induced to try the Cuticura treatment, by a party who had heard of a remarkable cure it had made, and I confess that 1 started in, not only without faith, but with every prejudice against the medicine. In four days was relieved of the inconvenience, and inside of two weeks cured, except for a slight discoloration of the skin, which wore off in few weeks. 1 sub eeQuently saw my friend MT. who had the same trouble. When he saw the wonderful effect of Cuticura upon me, he at once started the entire treatment and was well in about ten days. l beg to thank you for the relief you have given me, and if any one wants my testimony as to the merit of Cuticura for that trouble and will send me a stamped envelope with their address on 1t, will be glad to send them recom- mendation under my own signature.

that about half the adult citizens are run ming for office. Four men are in the field for mayor and 12 other loyal citizens are out for aldermen. Only five are to be elected.
 Think of it!
 Twelve candidates for aldermen in a town where there are no street car fran chises, or water contracts. or sewerage es- inmates, or viaducts to build, or electric light contracts to make, or anything that makes the alderman's life worth while.
 But there are issues in this campaign. water works plant is to be built or provided for during the next administra- tion I not familiar with the status of the question as only rumblings of the mat ter have reached my ears through the loud CT din that Is almost incessant in Bir- mingham. There is also a school ques- ton or two to be threshed out at the polls and by the incoming officials. do not know just what it is, but 1t appears to be something very important.
 Three or four lines have been drawn for the campaign and the fight Is on. These people around Boaz raise and eat Irish po- IdIOPSr anu d WdIlil liiic io cApOStto.
 A singular feature of the campaign is that up to last Tuesday night. when all entries for candidates should close, not one man had announced as a candidate for alderman, though three or four men had already gone on the mat for mayor.
 But late Tuesday night the factions got busy. The entry list would close at mid night Boaz never saw such another sight in it's history. Three men gathered together on street corner or on the depot platform, composed political convention and one or more men for aldermanic hon. ors was promptly nominated.
 There was no sleep in Boaz that night. Even the women and children stayed up to see the fun or care for the wounded.
 When the hour of midnight was an- nounced by the night watchman and Act ing Mayor E. G. Williamson closed the entry list with pair of pot hooks, 1t was found that 15 candidates had been evolved from the struggle
 They are w. E. Williamson, J. w. Am person, J. E. Thompson. E. G. William son, Joe King, R. E. Boroughs. J. H. Fletcher, Joe Pruett, E. c. Snellgrove, w. F. Snead, R. M. Benefield and J. B. Martin.
 The name of w. F. Williamson appears on two separate factional tickets, while E. G. Williamson appears on all three of the tickets. He is probably the town boss. At any rate, he seems to be pop ular.
 The candidates for mayor are the pres ent incumbent, w. H. Bartlett; R. R. McCleskey, Dr. D. A. Morton and Claude Harper.
 The election will be held September 19. May the fates have mercy on Boaz and it's innocent bystanders. Ed T. Gaines of Jasper spent yesterday in Birmingham on business He was reg istered at the Morris hotel. MT. Gaines is engaged in the hardware business, and Is one of Jasper's most prominent citizens.
