GOVERNOR LEAVES FOR HOME TONIGHT O'Neal Will Reach Mont gOmery From Maine
 Some Time Sunday

Montgomery, September 5.-(Special.)- Governor ONeal today sent a telegram to the executive offices at the capitol to the effect that he will leave Maine Fri day night for Alabama, and that he will probably reach Montgomery by Sunday.
 The governor has been on speaking tour in Maine for the past several days having delivered his first speech in that state on Monday of this week. He went to Maine from Milwaukee, where he at- tended the meeting of the American Bar association.
 Following the governors return to Ala bama it is expected that interest in his appointment to fill the supreme court vacancy will immediate revive, though it is not known when the governor will name Judge Simpsons successor.
 Altogether he has received score or more applications for the office and while 1t is impossible to receive any intimation as to whom the governor will probably favor, it is believed that he will select either strong lawyer from the Bir- mingham district or from south Ala bama.
 From all indications Governor O'Neal will make the appointment within short time after he returns from Maine, with many believing that he will announce his selection some time next week.

Montgomery September 5.-(Special.) )- That there is large class of people in the state who are disposed to withhold relative to sixteenth section school lands, and thus seeking indirect ly to block the efforts of officials in recovering these lands, Is the opinion of State Land Agent W. J. Martin, who has been informed of this practice in several communities in Alabama.
 According to Mir. Martin, he has been informed by the superintendents of edu- cation in several of the counties of the state that citizens in certain communi- ties are disposed to shield some of the occupants of sixteenth section lands, many of them refusing to give any in formation relative to their period of resi- dence or concerning other matters which would enable the state land agent to re- cover these lands for the state.
 "The situation is deplorable in some of our communities,'' declared MT. Martin today "I am constantly receiving let ters from some of the superintendents of education to the effect that they can not obtain any information relative to the states school lands, many of them suggesting that certain of our people are not disposed to aid the state in collecting facts relative to lands which are still in the states possession.
 q do not believe that these people consider that in withholding this par ticular inforpatipp they are doing in- jury to themselves.' The land was given to the state by the government to be held in trust for educational purposes, and therefore every citizen in Alabama should feel vitally interested In seeing these lands turned over to the state In order that they may be turned into cash

other hand, the revised Pe-ru-na Is a better remedy for some conditions than Ka-tar-no. They are both intended as catarrh remedies. They have both done a great work in relieving catarrh, chronic and acute. Many hundreds of cases of chronic catarrh have recov- cred while taking Ka-tarno and the same is true of the revised Pe-ru-na during the last six years since Its re- vision.
 There is a difference, however, in the two remedies. Whenever catarrh Is associated with constipation then the revised Pe-ru-na is the best fn deed, this is exactly why the revision was made, to meet such cases. But where no laxative Is needed, where the bowels are regular or inclined to be loose, then the old Pe-ru-na (Ka-tar no) is the better remedy.
 The revised Pe-ru-na is for sale al all drug stores. Those wishing to ob tain Ka-tar-no, address The Ka-tar mo Co.. Columbus, Ohio.
 For sale by Eugene Jacobs drug store, Birminghama, Ala.
