CONVENTION WILL
 HEAR UNDERWOOD
Will Address Democrats
 Here October 4
WRITES BROOKS SMITH
Underwood Arranges to Give Bir- mingham a Date Before Leaving for the North to Fill
 Appointments

1 Montgomery, September 6-(Special.)-
 Oscar ". Underwood has informed C..
 Brooks Smith, president of the State As
 sociation of Wilson and Marshall Clubs
 of Alabama of his intention to address the state convention in Birmingham on
 October 1, at which time the various state
 organizations will meet in that city for
 the purpose of conferring with reference
 to securing subscriptions for national campaign purposes.
 l Regarding the plans for a convention, l John H. Wallace, Jr, a member of the central executive committee, said to-
 day:
 "It seems that the democrats of Ala
 bama have become awakened to their
 sense of duty regarding what Is naturally
 ing financial aid to the national demo-
 cratic executive committee, upon which
 organization Is entailed the expense in-
 cident to conducting the democratic cam
 paign.
 l "Alabamians have come to realize that a democrat administration will be of in caculabe, practical benefit to this sec
 tion: the interoceanic canal will soon be
 open, the tide of emigration will turn 1 toward the sunny fields and cheap and | fertile lands of the southland. Capital
 ists will be eager to develop the re-
 sources of our mines and forests that the
 manufactured products of cotton, iron and
 wood may be shipped via the Panama
 canal to the Orient, where there are millions of people eager to purchase at l fol Ia1l he of fbo h fc
 farms and factories.
 1 Not only would the election of a dem ocrat to the presidency direct the at tention of the world to the south and l it's matchless possibilities, but by the in | auguration of the governmental priSci- ples and policies of the democratic party l the reduction of the tariff the routing
 of the trusts; all would combine to direct
 the attention of the world to the fact l that. Dixie land is the most favored 1 spot In Christendom. Impeled by this belief and animated by that democratic l loyalty for which Alabamians are so ia mously and justly renowned. every voter who believes in democratic principles should take occasion to extend financial assistance to the cause that he desires to
 see cuminate in glorious triumph" oscar w. Underwood has signfied his intention of addressing the state conven- ton of Wilson and Marshall clubs in a
 letter received by c. Brooks Smith, pres ident, on yesterday.
 MT. Underwood is famous on the west ern hemisphere for being an eminent, eloquent advocate of democracy as found- ed by Jefferson and expounded by Jack son. His letter to Chairman Smith is as follows
 "On my return this morning I found your letter of the Fist inst, awaiting me. find that l can arrange to be present.
 at the meeting of the Wilson, Marshall clubs in Birmingham on October 1. as will not have to leave Birmingham to fill my appointments in the north before
 the 5th l appreciate the opportunity you
 give me to make one of the addresses on
 that occasion"

 THINK TRIP WILL PROVE BENEFICIAL
Although No Decision Has Been Reached in Matter of Under
 writers Headquarters

Although no action was taken by the officers of the Southeastern Underwriters association who were visited Wednesday by a delegation of Birmingham men with reference to the establishment of the Ala bama state headquarters of the associa- tion in Birmingham the local men who made the trip feel that it was not made in vain. The Birmingham delegation, headed by NJ. P. Messer and w. B. Ever
 ett, visited the officers of the associa- ton in Atlanta and placed reasons before them why Birmingham is the logical place for the headquarters. It was pointed out that with Birmingham as a center with a radius of 100 miles, 80 per cent of the people of the state, with the exception of Mobile and Dothan, could be taken in. The circle would take in every city in the state with population of 5o00 peo- pie with the exception of the two towns.
 A delegation from Montgomery visited the Atlanta office of the association sev- eral days ago. The place for the head quarters. which apparently lies between Birmingham and Montgomery, will be de- cided upon within the next few days.

ALL ALONG THE LINE |
Davidson Says This Is Time for Pro-
 gressives to Show Colors

Leaders of the progressive party are in favor of nominating a ticket in every county of tbe state to oppose that of the democrats and that of the republicans.
 In this regard, Julius w. Davidson, one of the original members of the Roosevelt faction in Alabama, said yesterday:
 'rhe progressive party of Alabama is here to stay.
 The policy of the party Is that candi- dates be nominated for all offices from governor to constable. This policy meets the approval of our national leaders, as I am informed.
 'rhe people, especially in north Ala bama, demand that candidates for office make it clear whether or not they are willing to have their names placed under the progressive emblem. This is no time for hedging or compromise. It must he fight to the finish. This fight is for the uplifting of the women and children of America.
 The line up must come. Let candidates show where they stand"

Dr. Hartman Says:
Write to Pcrune Testimonials If You
 Want to Know the Truth

The following letter was received by Dr. Hartman, through his regular cor respondence:
 T notice the testimonial of Mrs. Alice Bogle, which you give in your last article If l should write her do you suppose she would give me further particulars? I have heard 1t said many times that such testimonials are fakes; that they are either absolutely fictitious or else the people have been hired to write them. l have been ln- clined to write you a great many times but these stories about patent medi- cine advertisements have discouraged me from doing so I am afflicted with catarrh and should like very much to find a remedy such as your article de- scribes."
 To the above letter Dr. Hartman made the following reply:
 My dear Madam:=I do not wonder that you are confused and have lost all faith in advertised remedies. There has been so much said against them, so much controversary concern ing them. I am not surprised that some people have lost confidence in them.
 I wish you would write Mrs. Bogle, as one woman to another. I wish you would ask her whether she has been hired to write such a testimonial, wherther her testimonial represents the truth.
 hope you will remember that she is 8 housewife, like yourself, that she has something to do besides write letters, that she is a woman of moderate means and cannot afford to write these letters and pay her own postage. l hope you will enclose stamp so she can answer you without loss to herself. Mrs. Bogle is a very estimable lady and no doubt you will both profit by being acquainted with each other.
 Should you conclude to try Peruna for your catarrh I would be very glad to hear of the result. l can assure you that no use will be made of your let ter, except by your written consent. Mrs. Bogle very kindly consented to have me use her letter, which Is my reason for doing so, and you will be treated exactly as she has been.
 People recover from chronic catarrh who take Peruna. There is no doubt about that. Some surprising recoveries are reported almost daily. l have thou sands of them in my files.
 Peruna is for sale at all drug stores.
 SPECIAL NoTICE-Many persons are making inquiries for the old time Peruna. To such would say, this form ula is now put out under the name of KA-TAR-NO, manufactured by KA- TAR-No Company, Columbus, Ohio. and is sold by Eugene Jacobs drug store and Gum Drug Co, Birmingham, Ala.

1t is not strange, says Winston Chur-

should hold no more the concrete idea
OF heaven presented in the imagery of
Revelation. We no longer think of it as

1t is becoming clear to US that there is
only one joy worthy of the name-the
joy of service; and that to arrive at any
conception, of it involves the severest of
all lessons. And once having found the
secret, who would lose it? "Thou hast
been faithful over a few things, I will
make thee ruler over many" Good and

doctrine of immortality, hidden in the
