Local Man Talks Interestingly
 of His Experience
AFFLICTED FOR YEARS
Great Crowds Invade the Local Drug Store to Learn More About the
 New Tonic, "Tona vitap

Great crowds continue to consult the representatives at the Collier Drug company, 109-111 North Twentieth street, who are here for the purpose of introducing in Birmingham remark able new tonic called "Tona Vita"
 A similar preparation to "Tona Vita created tremendous sensation abroad a few years ago on account of its won derful curative powers, and judging from the various statements of those taking "Tona Vity" in Birmingham, 1t looks as if 1t would do likewise here.
 A vast number of Birmingham peo- pie have come out with statements of what the new tonic has done for them. One man said: "I have been afflicted for years with -a continuous dizziness and weakness. I slept poorly and the little sleep I did get did not seem to rest me. I was dreadful1y tired most of the time and was always nervous and felt as if something was going to happen. My appetite was poor and what did eat did not agree with me. Besides I always had a pain over the pit of my stomach The doctors I saw did not seem to know what was the matter with me and I simply stopped going to them.
 About two weeks ago a friend who has been taking 'Tona Vita advised me to try 1t. l am now on my sec Ond bottle and my despair has changed to hope. If less than two bottles will bring such results as they have so far, I feel safe in saying that in a very short time I will be completely cured. Right now I feel ike an en- enjoy what I eat. My nights are now one of solid rest and I get up in the mornings feeling fine. The pain over my stomach has disappeared I want to say that I think 'Tona Vita Is the greatest medicine I have ever seen or heard of
 Many testimonials of the same char acter are being given the representa- lives who are located here for a short time. One of these representatives said that the above case was not an uncom- mon one Why, 1t Is possible that some one in nearly every family in Birmingham Is suffering with an at tack of nervous debility. The public does not realize what a large number of people among those who live in the larger cities like Birmingham are af- flicted with this modern plague In a more or less aggravated form Most of the so-called kidney troubles. nearly all indigestion, and fully half of the headaches in Birmingham can be att tributed to nervous debility, superin- duced by the strain of modern city life. Anyone who has been half-sicls all the time with no vitality or energy a constant sufferer with despondency, stomach trouble, weak back, headaches and a dozen other complaints. caused by debility. is sure to talk about 1t when they find something that gives them back buoyant spirits, sound di gestion and general good health"
 Between the hours of a. m. and 8 D. m. these representatives will be at the Collier Drug company to meet the public and demonstrate and explain the merits of their new preparation.

SCORES OF CASES AGAIN CONTINUED Pugh Joins Grow in Alleg- ing Too Many Cases
 Are Set

Judge John c. Pugh has joined Judge Crow in ordering all weekend cases during the present term to be con tinued in both divisions of the circuit court. As has been stated, Judge Crow ordered all cases set in his division on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday con tinued on the grounds that they could not be reached. Both judges allege that enough cases are docketed on the first two days of each week to keep the court busy until the end of the present term. The following order has been served on the clerk of the circuit court In the Circuit Court of Jefferson County Alabama:
 15 were disposed of and one will be taken evident that cases set for trial in this court on Wednesdays. Thursdays and Fridays in thesmonths of May and June of the year 1912 cannot be reached for trial, on account of the great num- Der of cases and volume of business set ahead of them on Mondays and Tuesdays dockets for said months; It is therefore ordered by the court that all jury causes set on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays dockets in said months of May and June, be and the same are hereby continued by general order of this court.
 It is further ordered that all causes set in all divisions Of thls court for the week beginning Monday, June 24, 1912. be and the same are hereby continued by this general order.
 It is further ordered that in the future setting of cases the clerk will observe and follow the same rules and proce- dure as were in vogue immediately prior to the setting of the cases for May and June, 1912. until further orders.
 Done and entered in open court this 21st day of May, 1912.

REPORTS RECEIVED OF RECED|NG WATER Much of Area Uninhabitable
 Another Month FUNDS GIVING OUT Not Only Is There Need for Food and Clothing, But Seed and Household Necessities Wanted-The Red
 Cross Withdraws
FUNDS GIVING OUT

New Orleans, May 23.-Reports re- ceived today from the northeastern sec- ton of Louisiana state that the Salem oede and within two weeks several thousand of the people who were driven from their homes by the floods will be able to return and begin the rehabili- tation of their fams and homes. Three hundred small farmers near Plauche- vile have returned to their homes this week and today sent an appeal to the New Orleans flood relief committee for seed With which to replant their fields and gardens.
 Million Acres Still Under Water
 While the higher sections of the flooded territory will soon be rid of the MissIssippi's muddy water. per- haps a million acres affected by the Salem crevasse will remain under wa ter until the middle of June and there is little prospect of relief for those whose lands are covered by the waters from the Torras and Atchafalaya crevasses for at least four weeks.
 If the United States army relief corps Is withdrawn by June l, when 1t is anticipated that the remainder of the congressional appropriation will have been expended, the local relief com mittees in Louisiana and Mississippi will have a serious problem to handle for several weeks. The local commit tees have done much to alleviate the sufferings of the flood victims and to Infb fv,rx l1a great expense of feeding the refugees and the cattle has been borne by the federal government.
 Samuel Blum, chairman of the New Orleans relief committed, declared to- day that it would be disastrous if the army corps Is withdrawn and federal aid entirely cut off before the great majority of these people have returned to their homes.
 Needs Besides Food
 Even after these unfortunate people have gone back to their homes,' said MT. Blum, "the local committees and the state authorities will have all they can do in supplying, besides food, clothing and seed for planting, abso- lute household necessities, such as bed ding, cooking utensils, etc, to hun dreds and hundreds who have lost their all"
 Norfolk, Va, heads the list of outside contributors to the flood relief fund. The third contributions from the citizens of Norfolk. through the virginian Pilot a check for s25s4.o4 was received by the To- cal committee today. The Pilot had pre- viously forwarded s1Sss.25, making a total of s4.437.29.
 Atlanta Ga, sent another substantial contribution today through the Atlanta JournaA a check for s1400.

Number Offer Resignation

Immediately after the committee was shorn of it's power. Dr. W. R. Dobyns of St. Joseph, Mo, communicated with all members, including those present and at their homes in various states, and got authority to sign the names of nearly all of the members to the let ter of resignation. Moderator Thomas s. clyce of Sherman, Tex, left the chair to state his position as member of the committee. He said that the as- sembly's action was subversive of one of the main purposes of the creation of this committee and that regarding 1t as implied censure, the members would under no circumstances continue to serve.
 The chief complaint is because the as sembly took from the committee the power to name executive secretaries and the members of four executive commit tees which the entire management of the churchs affairs. The members resigning were W. R. Dobyns, Missouri; Thomas s. Clyce, Texas; John Sites, Kentucky; J. S. Munce, Virginia; II. E, Revenel South Carolina, and Oscar Newton, Jr., Missis- sippi. The assembly adopted motion by pr. K. I. Vance to instruct the alternate committeeman 10 fill all vacancies caused by resignations.
 1He SelectlOn or q representative 10 the Pan Presbyterian assembly at Aberdeen. Scotland, next year, and the refusal of the assembly to make a new judicial de- liyerance on the subject of whether the courts of tiie church can constitutIonaliy indorse proposed legislative enactments were the principal happenings of the last day.
 The several hundred delegates left the city this afternoon and tonight
 The assembly will meet next at At lanta in May 1913, where assemblies of other branches of the Presbyterian sys- tenn also will meet at the same time with view to closer cooperation and the promotion of negotiations toward union.
 Romanism Report Rejected
 A minority report submitted by Judge Allen G. Hall of Nashville to the gen. eral assembly of the Southern Presby- terian was withdrawn in favor of the resolution of Dr. Reed of Columbia, s. c. This resolution. unanimously adopted, ex- pressed the ideas on Romanism. It reads:
 Tn meeting the menace this assembly would recommend no other means than the dissemination of knowledge and the faith ful, earnest preaching of the gospel of Christ; that the assembly instruct the executive committee on education to pub fish the first two divisions of the ad interim commissions report in pamphlet form for the information of our people"
 The matter referred to is an attack on the Roman Catholic church prepared by Thomas c. Johnson of Richmond and others.

Louisville, May 23.-The Presbyterian church in the United States of America divideds the country only into two parts the east and the west. We know no north and no south." said the Rev Dr. w. B. Jer rings. pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Germantown, Pa, today. amid tie applause of the general assembly.
 The discussion resulted from the effort of southern commissioners to amend a resolution providing for the election of six additional members to the board of the church erection fund from the west by adding the words, land south" Sew eral speakers declared the United States possessed of only the one dimension. and the assembly, applauding, voted down the amendment.
 Resolutions respecting the administra- ton of the church erection fund also pro- vided for the lending of money to weak churches for buying lots and building chapels and churches
