Dan o'NeiI Ready to Shift from Wa,

Dan 1O'Neil has finally declared himself in favor of Holyoke and against Waterbury. Up ti this time he has always maintained stoutly that he would be managing a team in Waterbury during the 1912 season, but according to an interview publish ed under a Holyoke date, the gray shocked one is anxious to transfer to that city and will move the franchise up to Rulpville. if he gets the least bit of encouragement from residents of that burg. He probably thinks Wa terbury isn't stretching it's hands out to him as far and as enthusiastically as he would like, so he's going to move

GRAND CIRCUIT WILL

Directors Liability Law Scares the
 Trotting Meet Away.

New York, Jan. 16.-By action of the Brooklyn Jockey club today, New York city will not get the grand cir cult trotting meeting that was prom ised for next summer. It was stipu- lated that should there be any hitch in the arrangements for a meeting at Gravesend, the New York dates should be transferred to Rockingham park, Salem, N. H.
 The reason stated is that the direc- tors liability law making owners of tracks personally responsible for any gambling that might be conducted on their premises would apply with equal force to a trotting meeting as to a running race meeting and that upon consideration it had been deemed ad- visable to abandon the plan.

Nowadays, cleanliness stands fr a great deal more than freeing things from dirt. It means PURITY, freedom from germ life.
 Not many years ago, people purified clothes only after a catching llncss,when they soaked them in some diSinfectant
 But the careful housewife of today considers purity above all else.
 She realizes that the air Is alive with all kinds of germs of more or less harmful nature;
 And she does her wash with the soap tL-t not only cleans-dissolves the dirt, but that destroys harmful germ life:
 FELS-NAPTHA puri6es Clothes washed the Fels-Naptha way are sweet, clean, pure and gernless
 Do your wash with Fels-Naptha. No boiling water; no hard rubbing.
 Fels-Naptha is just as good for house hold cleaning as 1t IS for washing clothes

ST. CLAIR HAS GIVEN SOME
 GREAT MEN TO THE STATE
By FRANK Y. EVANS

Ashville, April 22.-(Special.) )-Ash- vile and St. Clair county have con tributed largely to the greatness and ought not to be forgotten when his tory is read and taught. The manhood of St. Clair in lines political, chivalric and industrial deserves a bright page, Rs a tribute to worth and as an in centive to the young.
 On wonder hilltop reposes the dust of the father of the late Governor Roberts of Texas That great adopted son of the southwest was reared here in Ashville, and in the thirties was at the head of the orphans court" of St. Clair, now designated the probate court Judge Roberts was himself an historian, and left as a legacy to this people manuscripts of a history of early St. Clair county which lay in the archives of this county until few smonths ago, when it was loaned to a friend, probably never to be returned. Those who have read the pages de- clare it a pity that the work was never put into print.
 Opposite the courthouse square is the site of the old home in which St. Clair parents gave birth to ex-Governor Rufus Cobb, who is now spending his declining years in Birmingham, and who in war and in peace gave time and talent and patriotism to his native state.
 Living here today and still enjoying an active professional life is John w Jnzer, who 56 years ago cast his lot with the people of St. Clair At the bar. on the bench, in the legislative councils of the state. in the secession convention and on the battlefield Judge and Colonel Inzer helped to make his- tory for Alabama, and glorious history it is. Approaching the four-score mile post this Alabamian is not yet bent with age nor is his mind shaken by the ravages of time Apparently as strong today as when his sword flashed at Missionary Ridge, leading Clayton's command when he was made prisoner of war and suffered the privations and indignities of Johnson's Island prison. He tells the story with no regrets but with the good cheer of a real soldier.
 The industrial hand of St. Clair is in evidence. It has tapped the once hid- den wealth beneath this soil, has titled the fields and is reaping the usufruct of St. Clair county efforts. Forests of towering timber, fields of cotton and corn hold beneath them deposits of mineral wealth-coal, iron and rock, the value of which is inestmable, and these are all receiving attention by people of St. Clair as well as by those who come from afar.
