IS THANKFUL FOR
 TERMAT FLAT TOP
Young Man Tells Judge Abernethy He Was Cured
 of the Drug Habit

A young white man who has just fin ished serving a term at Flat Top, and who went there confirmed morphine fiend. and returned cured of the habit, confessed to Judge Abernethy of the common pleas court that he had done him a favor in sentencing him to the term.
 Tt is the best place that I know of to get cured of the drug habit" said the young man. and the judge is do- ing a favor to any dope fiend that he sends to Flat Top The physician and the warden treated me well, and the stay up there enabled me to break away from morphine
 "I had been. in jail month when l was sentenced, and during that time had 'tapered off and was able to get along without any of the drug after l got to the county institution. When l first arrived l was given light work in the open air, and gradually was able to build myself up. The exercise in the sunshine and open air. and my not being able to got the drug that I craved, strengthened me and my work was made harder each week, So that l regained my health and strength in three months spent at Flat Top. As grew stronger and healthier, the de sire for morphine left me, and I do not crave it at all now. I believe that a stay at Flat Top will cure anybody that wants to quit the dope habit. Inn prisonment there is better for cure than time spent in sanitarium. 1 have tried sanitariums for getting rid of the morphine habit, and did not sue ceed. The reason is that the private hospitals keep their patients but month, and that is not long enough to let them get their strength back; and no man can quit the drug habit un- less he gets back his strength.
 T have no further craving for nor phne, and l would not take it again under any circumstances. I am going to work in few days, and believe l can keep clear of the drug and sue ceed. And I owe my freedom to the term of Imprisonment I spent atsFlat

NUMBER "13"
Men Who Regard It an Omen of Good
 Luck

Montgomery, September 5.-(SpeciaD That there are certain men in Alabama who are not the least superstitious about the number '13" there is an abundance of evidence to show, and this proof can easily be secured from Cyrus B. Brown, secretary of state. But there is one man who may be said to re gard "13" as lucky number, as an omen of good fortune or as the pre- cursor of whatever else that may in- dicate long life and prosperous days.
 This man is Dr. William H. Oates, state prison inspector, who recently se- cured from the secretary of state the registration number "13" for his auto mobile. Not only has Dr. Oates secured this number, but he made a bid for 1t several months ago, when the state au- tomobile law went into effect. Accord ing to Secretary Cyrus Brown no one else in the state even had a Hook in" as to securing this number, although there were several other applicants. Dr. Oates wanted it. he asked for 1t, and he got it-got it on the first day of September, or just as soon as registra- tions were open to the public
 There is another man in the state who asked for this number--a doctor, too, by the way-but he was several months late in making application, and hence had to tack another number. This was pr. S. c. Tatum, of Centre, Ala, who made a rather earnest request for number l3.
 pr. Oates and pr. Tatum, however, are in hopeless minority regarding views as to the number L3 The de- partment has received dozen or more letters from automobile owners apply ing for any registration number except 13. No chances for them, some of them said and accordingly they all got what they wanted. In fact, there was no need for them to make such a request, for, as before said, Dr. Oates had long since secured the promise of this num- Der, and he got it.
 Another conspicuous figure in the state who attaces no superstition to the number IS is John D. McNeel. pri- yate secretary to Governor O'Neal. And it is proper that Secretary McNeel should not do so,. for the~ governors representative was born on Friday, the 9th day of October, and he regards all three as lucky. Had Mir. McNeel owned a machine, it is probable that pr. Oates would have had a close race for the number 13, although Mir. McNeel would probably rather have been born on Friday than own an automobile.

Florence, September 5.-(SpeciaD. D.-The result obtained from oiling the principal residence street as an experimental pro cess by the city council. has not proven altogether satisfactory to the majority of Florentines.
 The combination used is 90 per cent as- phalt and while it has effectively laid the dust, yet the unsghtly appearance of the most beautiful street in Florence is ex- ceedingly obnoxious to aestheticism.
 At the opening of thes circuit court this morning Judge C. P. Almon delivered a most powerful and exhaustive charge to the jury, admonishing them to the full performance of duty in ferreting crime, violators of the law are anxiously await ing the outcome.
