CHILDREN INJURED
Ordinary Catharfics and Pills and Harsh PhysIc Gamse Distressing Complaints

Ordinary Catharfics and Pills and Harsh
 Physfc Cause Distressing Complaints
 You cannot be over careful in the selection of medicine for children. Only the very gentlest bowel medicine should ever be given, except in emergency cases. Ordinary pills, cathartics and purgatives are apt to do more harm than good. They may cause griping, nausea and other distressing after-ef- fleets that are frequently health-de- stroying.
 We personally recommend and guar antee Rexall Orderlies as the safest and most dependable remedy, which we know, for constipation and associate bowel disorders. We have such absolute faith in the virtues of this remedy that we sell il on our guarantee of money. back in every instance where it fails to give entire satisfaction, and we urge all in need of such medicine to try it at our risk.
 Rexal1 Orderlies are eaten just like candy are particularly prompt and agreeable in action, may be taken at any time, day or night; do not cause diarrhoea, nausea, griping, excessive looseness, or other undesirable effects. They have a very mild but positive action upon the organs with which they come in contact, apparently acting as @ regulative tonic upon the relaxed muscular coat of the bowel, thus over coming weakness, and aiding to restore the bowels to more vigorous and healthy activity.
 ReXall Orderlies commonly complete Jy relieve constipation, except of course when of a surgical character. They also tend to overcome the necessity of con stantly taking laxatives to keep tde bowels in normal condition. Three sizes or packages, 10 cents, 25 cents, and 50 cents. Remember, you can obtain Rexall Remedfes in Birmingham only at our store-The Rexall Store. Collier Drug Co., 109-11 N. goth St.

RUMORED HUDSON IS
 TO GIVE UP OFFICE
Commissioner of Agriculture May Enter Georgia Guberna-
 torial Race

Atlanta, February 1S.-(Special )-Report is persistent around the state capitol that Commissioner of Agriculture T. G. Hudson is getting ready to resign
 MT. Hudson is now in South Georgia on a boil weevil and cotton wilt cam paign; he has frequently stated, how ever, that he expected to resign as soon as he felt it time to take up his race for Congress in the Third district.
 But another rumor has arisen in con- ncction with his political purposes--that he may make the race for governor this year instead of running for Congress
 Report has 1t that leaders of the Hoke Smith faction are trying to induce Mr. Hudson to make the race for governor against President John M. Slaton of the senate. The Smith faction is, apparently, at loss for a candidate.
 Mir. Hudson and his friends feel that he was completely exonerated of all charges involving him personally by the Legislative committee which recently in vestigated his department. The inves- tigation and it's findings were thus prom inently portrayed as a full vindication of the commissioner in newspapers friendly to Senator Smith. This has lent some color to the report that he may be in the race for governor.
 The congressional race in the Third has already developed into four cor nered light, and its outcome would be a matter of chance at best. Why should ne not, therefore, make the bigger race?
 It is said efforts are being made to induce him to look at it in this light, and it may be that when he resigns he will offer for governor instead of congress- man from the Third.
 Tn the meantime applicants for appoint ment as commissioner of agriculture in the event of his resignation are putting fin appearance. It Is said the appoint ment vii probably lie between two of those now in the race, former State en- ator J. D. Price of Oconee and Hon. J. J. Connor of Bartow former pres- dent of the State Agricultural society. Both of these have been strong friends of Governor Brown, while the two other candidates have been his political oppo- nents-Hon. A. O. Blalock of Fayette and Col W. l.. Peck of Rockdale.
 It is said both MT Price and MT. Con- nor are busy getting inducements, and the contest for the appointment may prove an interesting one.

 The state Is divided into 3S sena- torial districts and 1t would seem that senators would be apportioned with regard to population and voting strength, but that Is not now the case, though it may have been when the districts were formed some 20 years ago.
 The First district is composed of the counties of Hancock, Harrison and Jackson, which have one senator and four representatives between them. Their vote for United States senators last year was 4S72.
 The Second district Is composed of the counties of Forrest, Wayne, Jones. Perry, George and Greene, with one senator and three representatives Vot- ing strength last year, S611.

 Go now to the northern counties and take the Thirty-sixth district com posed of the counties of Union, Tippah, Benton, Marshall and Tate, with three senators and 10 representatives, and a voting population of S497. Compare that representation with the Second district which has a voting population of S611-almost as many as the Thirty sixth district has and yet the repre- sentation is but one-third as great.
