CAMPAIGN CLEAN
 IN WALKER COUNTY Real Battle Will Be in
 County Politics REPUBLICANS QUIET
Democrats Have Given the National Ticket Enthusiastic Support by Speaking Throughout County
 and Predict Success Today

Jasper, November 4.-(Special) 1.-The election in Marker county tomorrow promises to be a contest of interest from start to finish. Sentiment has been crys- talizing rapidly for the past few days and the opposition on tomorrow will be difficult to hold in restraint.
 The democrats have waged a strong, open and clean campaign. They have given the national ticket enthusiastic sup port by speaking at all the points in the county in behalf of the national ticket. They have also distributed literature among the democratic voters and have ap- piled personal methods of retaining the democratic voters in their old party, and their work seems to have been a success.
 But few republicans have shown but lit tie interest in the reelection of President Taft While he has many loyal sup porters who openly and freely speak up for him, there is in evidence an under current of doubt as to his reelection in his most optimistic supporters.
 The representative leaders of the third party are divided among themselves and have fought each other more than they have the opposition political parties. One faction attempted every measure to put out a ticket under the third party enl- blem, but was finally defeated In the sourts. Following this were accusations of alleged bribings and frauds. This was seen in a bitter anonymous circular which was distributed in a quiet way Satur- day.
 The real battle here will be in county politics. and every inch of the ground will be fought for and every movement watched with intense interest Tn this part of the political contest the two parties have followed different tactics, which has rendered the results of the campaign more uncertain. Now as the election is drawing near the strings are being pulled tight, and the real opposition and contest will center mainly in the election of county officers. The leaders of each party are reticent in forecasting victory.

Livingston, November 4.--tSpecial )-The cattle of Sumter county are attracting the attention of cattlemen of Alabama and adjoining states. Several years ago the congressman from the Sixth district started crusade in favor of farm devel- opment. He secured experts from Wash ington who preached continually the doc- Urine of diversification.
 As result of this crusade Sumter county has handled more cattle than any other county in Alabama, and the quality of Sumter's cattle has steadily improved.
 Judge J. T. Stokely of Birmingham and Joseph Walker of Marengo, who own q large plantation near Demopolfs, spent several days last week buying high grade steers for feeding purposes. They pur- chased 45 head of large Shorthorn and Aberdeen Angus steers from Nixon & Little, paying them the excellent price of 5Ae on foot in Livingston. They bought another large bunch of Hereford steers from F. IT. Jones at 5c. Several other smaller lots of high grade cattle were purchased by these gentlemen.
 In speaking of the condition of affairs in Sumter. Judge Stokely said: q am as- founded at the progress that has been made by Sumter county in the live stock industry. l had no idea that such mag nifcent horses, such fine cattle, hogs and sheep were raised in Alabama"
 Talking along the same line, Mir Wal ker said: Sumter county is 25 years ahead of any other county in Alabama in the cattle business. I knew there were great numbers of cattle in this county, but didn't expect to find such fine quail ty of cattle. Practically every man we have viisted who Is in the cattle business

 LARGE NUMBER Neurotics Are Seen On
 Every Hand REMARKABLE NEW TONIC Neurotics Will Demonstrate What Stummatone Viii Do Within Three Minutes Time Tuesday-Will
 Give Samples
REMARKABLE NEW TONIC

Every large city like Birmingham is filled with neuroties. They are seen in stores, on the streets. or In theatres.
 Probably you are one of them. Do you feel tired all the time with no energy or ambition? Do you awake from sleep in the morning as worn out as when you went to bed? Is your circulation ir- regular and do you catch cold easily :? Is your appetite and digestion poor, and are your stomach and bowels out of order most of the time? Or maybe you are simply nervous and depressed.
 These are symptoms of neurosls, com monly called nervous debility, says one of the neurologists who are here introducing Stummatone, the great International Tonic ~Neurosis," continued he. lis pro- duoed by the present unnatural methods of living, the strain and excitement of Twentieth Century life being entirely too severe for the average man or woman. This condition is more common in the cities than in the country. because the farmer lives an outdoor life, eats simple foods and gets plenty of exercise. As result, his digestion Is good, he has a clear eye and red blood fin his veins. But the city man eats rich foods made appetizing by stimulating condiments; lives ln stnffy houses; filthy, smoky cities, and never walks when he can ride. The result is that his nerves and stomach fail in their duties. his kidneys and other organs become clogged with accumula- tions of waste matter and he finally succunbs to poisons generated within his own system.
 'Stummatone is the original outcome of an investigation by scientists to over come this distressing condition, and the preparation quickly builds up the ner- vous, debilitated organs and gets the whole machinery of the system working normally It Is positively astonishing to note how quickly responsive the medicine really is"
 The Stummatone neurologists will give their remarkable 'three-rninute" demon strations Tuesday morning, when samples will be given the first two hundred call CTS. They are stationed at the Gum Drug Co.,, o0th St. and 3rd Ave, the local agents, from 9 a. m. to p. m.

 Murder Suspected
 Facts that have developed during the last few days lead to the belief that Joe Pyncheon, whose body was round on the Southern railroad Sunday two weeks ago. and who was believed to have been killed by a train from Memphis, was murdered and his body placed on the track to hide the crime. Pyncheon sold his cotton the Saturday before he was found dead and was seen drinking with a crowd of negroes It Is believed that he was literally beaten to death in a general fight and his body placed on the railroad in the hope that the mutt lation of the wheels would hide evidence of the crime.

 The boil weevil is all over the county in large numbers. Reports from reliable men in every beat in the county state that the weevil has come to stay The cotton crop was hurt some this year by the weevil. Next year the damage will run to thousands of dollars. To offset this, however the white farmers have learned many things in the past five years. Among the most notable is, there is money in other branches of farming. Truck growing has grown 10 enormous proportions in the southern part of the county. Strawberries, beans, peas, toma- toes and cabbage are shipped in car loads every day in season.
 For more than 90 years farmers thought the sandy land belt of the county which comprises more than one-half the acre age, would grow nothing but cotton. l Under the advice of MT. Long. the Ala bama Great Southern railroads agricul- tural expert, more than 100 bushels of corn to the acre is being raised by many sandy land farmers Peanuts are also grown in large quantities.
 The black land section of Sumter is be- ing rapidly turned into cattle. stock and hog farms. There Is something in the lime lands Of this section that makes cattle fatten faster and grow more than any other kind of land This applies to all forms of live stock
 Johnson grass, for many years eonsid- cred pest is now highly prized as ! hay crop Alfalfa grows luxuriantly and
 is being planted by a great many farmers. Tn fact, Sumter county, Instead of going into panic at the approach of the boil weevi has steadled under the shadow of disaster and is rapidly deseloping along agricultural lines. Truly. this is great lesson to neighboring counties that will soon be overrun with this much dreaded pest.

 A large vote will be boiled in Ensley. one of the things contributing to this result being the fact that the employees of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company will be allowed the opportun. y of voting without losing the time. this being custom of the company in na- tional elections, it is said.
 While Ensley will be safely democratic. a large vote will be cast at this box for the bull moose.

TALLADEGA NEEDS ADDITIONAL SCHOOL Enrolment Is Larger Than
 Ever Before ELECTION FORECAST
Paving at Talladega Temporarily In- terrupted Yesterday Due to Break ing of Cable-Residence Is
 Raided-Chestnuts Scarce

Talladega, November 4-(Special.) )-The enrolment at the city schools has been so large this year that 1t has been found necessary to add and equip an additional room to hold the pupils. Desks and a full equipment has been installed for the tenth grade, and is now filled with pupiis. Tie nigh school grade is over flowing. The enrolment this year is five hundred and six.
 Business Change
 The insurance and real estate business of Stone and Henke has been purchased by w. E. Henkel.
 Steam Mixer Breaks
 The steam mixer of the paving contrac- tors broke wire cable Monday morn ing causing a suspension of the handling of the concrete cement for a few hours. It is figured that the first four-ineh coat of cement will be completed on sec tions of Court street and North street. adjoining the courthouse by the last of thls week. Excavations for pipes, both gas and water. has begun on East street.
 Laborers Scarce
 The paving contractors are finding 1t difficult, if not impossible to procure laborers sufficient in Talladega. The con- tractors have sent a man to Birmingham to procure twenty or more laborers with which to carry on the necessary heavy work.
 Election Forecast
 The bull moose people claim that Roose- velt will receive 500 votes in this county on Tuesday, but wise observers think the moosers are wrong. In the presi- dential election of 1908 Taft received only 351 votes out of a total poll of 1881, and the entire republican vote of this county will not exceed 4O0 votes in this election. Roosevelt will get more votes in Talla- dega county than Taft, but both repub- lican candidates combined will not come within a thousand of reaching the Will son vote.
 Residence Raided
 Sheriff Cornett raided the residence of ]. NJ Lauderdale at Talladega Springs on Saturday night. getting into his pos session one hundred bottles of beer and thirty-five pints of whisky.
 Chestnuts Scarce
 There are no chestnuts brought in from the hills for sale this year. Formerly the market was flooded with these nuts brought from nearby hills, but either the trees have been destroyed or the early frosts cut off the crop.
