WARRANTS GIVEN
 ID ]. 5. MARSHAL Arrests of Liquor Dealers Expected Soon-Agee's
 Statement

Fifteen warrants against retail sa- loonkeepers in this county were given to the United States marshals yester- day by the department of justice, after having been issued by Commissioner R. B. Watts The warrants charge that the men named reflled bottles at one time used for bottled in bond whisky and therefore violated an act of Congress prohibiting such transac- tions.
 The warrants were issued by the federal government and charge that the alleged offense was committed against the peace and dignity of the United States of America. The arrival of the warrants at the office of Mar shal P, NJ. Long was expected and no time will be lost in making arrests, it was stated. However, 1t was an- nounced from the marshal's office that the warrants would not take prece- dence over other regular business and that the alleged violators would be ar rested as they were reached in the usual routine of government affairs.
 The warrants mark the beginning of the most courageous war that has yet been started against alleged vioators of federal and state liquor laws. It was announced by w. C. Agee, chair man of the excise commission, that he would personally attend the govern ment hearings, and if he perceived that the state laws had been transgressed

FOR CONGRESSMAN AT LARGE

To tho Democratic Voters of Alabama I am a candidate for congressman, the state at large subject to the will of the democratic party. l take this opportunity to solicit your support, and lay before you matters of general interest, for which l desire to work if ! shall be honored by representing in the Sixty-third Congress the people of this commonwealth In laying before you these matters 1t IS not
 my purpose or desire to assume unto my self the privilege of issuing, writing or promulgatng a platform ahead of my party, as l do not know or accept any other doctrines than those declared by the democratic and conservative party, both state and national.
 It is my desire to accomplish something for the good of our people in the national legislative body along the lines which now take pleasure in submitting 10 you.
 1st. l am convinced that the high cost cf living, with other ills from which our people are now suffering, is caused by the republican doctrines of high protective tariff which fosters and creates monopo- lies and trusts, bringing together large, consolidated capital, which still floats 4un- der the guise of infant industries, ana which, from the protection afforded oy .the national government, has become so powerful and rich that they nut ohiy boldly disregard our laws but in truth ab- solutely dictate to the government itseli, thereby gradually sapping the life blood from the people and making us daily poorer and poorer. l believe that tarl1 for revenue only-a democratic doctrine, time tried. true and triumphant-would not only provide ample funds for govern mental expenses but would conserve the best interest of manufacturer, producer and consumer alike.
 2d. Much has been said in public meee- ing and through the press of the southern states in the past month regarding the better protection of the cotton planter ln the marketing of his crops. I have seen no remedy for this evil offered, except pos fiblv the diversifieation of crops and the raising of more foodstuffs at home and bringing about a gradual necessity for the sale of cotton. While these principles are all right so far as they go, and many nrocressive farmers will be benefited bs' them. I am inclined to believe that the national government owes it to the cotton ,,lapter to do moro for his protection against the sharks of Wallsstreet and speculators in the marketing of his crop While I am not opposed to the legitimate deals on the exchange for hedges and

 If you will get an ounce of this mer- colized wax at your drug store and ap- ply it like cold cream you Will soon be- hold in your glowing cheeks their first resemblance to the remarkable trans parent beauty of the Epglishwoman' $ complexion.
