OTHERS GIVE REASONS
FOR BEING OPPOSED

Senator Curry of Chiffon prefers to
leave the necessity of an extra session
TO the governor. Senator Crumpton of
Conecuh declares that the anti-fee
amendment is not of sufficient import
ance to warrant the governor in calling
an extra session. Senator Merrill of Gle
burne considers the plea for an extra
session unwise. He takes occasion, how
ever, to register himself in favor of TAX
ing the convicts out of the mines Sen
ator Justice of Gilmore considers a de-
nand for an extra session inexpedient
Senator Atkins of Dallas holds that the
governor should be given time to clear
III, the embarrassing affairs of the state
Senator Stevens of Mobile opposes the
extra session because of his opinion that
ii would bring about a renewal of the
fight in regard to local option. He de-

should not be an extra session, rather
than a reason why one should be called

CATARRH OF THE KIDNEYS
A Settled Form of Catarrh That MAY Exist a
Long Time Before II is Discovered.

I felt better l have now taken six bot
ties and am cured of my old trouble
of sixteen years standing. Peruna has
been a godsend to me. / shall praise
1t always"
How any rational creature Is go
ing to explain such cure as that ex-
cept by giving great credit to Peruna
as an excellent medicine, how 1t can
be explained in any other way l cannot
possibly understand. Peruna is a great
medicine and Is constantly making
great cures. Those who think other
wise would be easily convinced of their
error by talking with people who have
used ii.
Let us take one more. From Or
tonville. Mimi. Mrs. Gus H. Carlson.
She mas taken. Peruna for catarrh of
the kidneys and bladder. She also is
cured and says: Il am very thankful
for Peruna"
And SO the list might be extended
indefinitely. These testimonials have
and represent the actual experiences
of the everyday men and women who
are doing the work of the world.
SYMPTOMS OF KIDNEY
CATARRH.
The symptoms of catarrh of the kid
neys are as follows: First. bacl<ache
Second, dizziness. Third, occasionally
nausea and vomiting. Fourth, pallor or
puniness of the face. Fifth, frequent
disposition to urinate. Sixth, urine
nlghiy colored. Seventh, tenderness
on pressure on each side of spine.
Mr.. Robert III. Norris, No. 133s Henry
ST., North Berkeley. California, whose
portrait accompanies this article, is also
a friend of Peruna. He writes:
We have never had any other medl-
cine In our home but Peruna since we
have been married
II suffered with kidney and bladder
trouble. but two months treatment with
Peruna made me we'll and strong
man.
MY wife felt weak and was easily
tired and was also troubled with vari-
Gus pains, but since she took Peruna
she is well and strong"

Weather Conditions

Birmingham, April 19.-(7 P. M.)--Fair
weather is general in all central and
southern districts tonight. This Is due
to general high barometric conditions in
the central valleys, which also accounts
for the cool change that has taken place
in the central valleys as far south as
Memphis. A slight cool change had PEN
etrated to the interior Of Texas this
morning, but tonight's map shows that
a nearly stationary condition of the tenn
perature now prevails there.
Pain Is spi eading over larger area
in the northwest. now covering the north
Pacific, northern Rocky Mountains and
western plains states. No rainfall has
been reported from any cotton state dur
ms the last two days. but as the rain
area is moving slowly eastward. it would

dition OF about 100000, paid by tho
pany on taxes that have been in litiga-
ton and this sum will be augmented
by heavy deposits from the convict de-
partment. Altogether the state will
probably be richer at the end of April
by $4,000 than at the close of tho
same month in 1912. -
Governor O'Neal considers tho finan-
cial situation more promising than at
any time during his administration.
The convict probe has shown the pos
sibilities of that department under
good management and those who are
familiar with the business of that de-
partment, and who are thoroughly ac-
quainted with the character of con-
tracts maintain that the convict de-
partment will be able in the course of
a few years to pay all of the states
bonded Indebtedness.
Business Administration
The new president of the board of
convict inspectors declares that he will
devote his entire efforts to making his
administration the most successful in
the history of the state. The office
has been placed on a more thorough
and systematic basis, a more complete
system of bookkeeping has been es-
tablished, and various other improves
ments have been made which, ii is be-
lieved. Will result In an annual saw
ing to the state of between 100000
and 100000.
on the whole the state is probably
more prosperous than it has been in
the past % years, and there is every
indication that not only will the state
be able to meet all of It's obligations
during the remaining months of the
present administration, but that by
January, 1915. the treasury viii con-
tain neat little surplus upon which
to launch the incoming administration.

REASONS GIVEN FOR
ASSEMBLING SOLONS

The following are among other reasons
advanced against the expediency OF call
Ing the legislature together:
DR.. Huddleston of Gilmore relies on the
intelligence and patriotism of the COVER
nor of Alabama; Dr. Quin of Dekalb also
relies on the judgment of the governor;
Mr. Bell of Autauga thinks that the call
should come directly and voluntarily from
the governor; Mr. Twombly of Lowndes
because all they would do would be
to create new offices and raise salaries;'
Mr.. Rfcheson of Franklin would favor
an extra session If he had assurances
that he could get a few local bills
through for his county" but he would
not force the governor to issue a call;
Mr.. Whatley of Houston because the
session would be an incubator for state
politics; Mr.. Hood of Etowah fears DIS
turbances to business: Mr.. Lavender OF
Bibb thinks the extra session is not need
ed and would not be desired; Mr.. Stolen
werck of Montgomery is unable to see the
advisability of the extra session; Mr..
Waddell of Russell is very much opposed,
and states that the governor knows his
views in regard to the extra session.;
Mr.. jenkins of Bullock opposes because
l. would force the farmers to leave their
fields at the time when their attention
Is most required.
MT. fa1ge OF Conecuh, IN opposing the
extra session, writes: "1t is too late to
lock the stable after the horse has gone
That 1t Is the imperative duty of Gov
ernor ONeal. especially in the light of
recent disclosures in an arm of the state
government, to call an extra session of
the legislature, is the opinion of Senator
Sherrod of Lawrence. Mr.. Bell of Pickens,
Mr.. Lawson of Talladega and Mr.. Avery
of Randolph. These gentlemen express
themselves very candidly.
Senator Moody of Tuscaloosa and Mr..
Mathews of Clarke trust that the extra
session If called will be called for a time
in which the farmers can leave their
crops to- the least disadvantage.
Other needs for an extra session are
expressed as follows:
Mr.. Helms of Crenshaw would put all
county officials throughout the state on
a salary basis: Mr. Johnston of Elmore
would abolish the jail inspector, discharge
and highly salaried clerks.
and cut down the annual county high
school appropriation from $4,000 to $1,000;
Mr.. Jones of Monroe would make the
new amendment apply to every county of
the state; Mr.. Crawford would return
to the custom of biennial sessions of the
legislature

More Than 100000 Better
Off Than : Year Ago in
Spite of Defalcations
IMPROVEMENT is
SHOWN EACH MONTH
By End of Month the State Will Be
Quarter Million Richer Than at
Close of the Same Month
Last Year


Montgomery. April 9.-(speeial.)-Al-
though the Lacy defalcatons and other
shortages of the state convict department
have reached the aggregate of $114,0 "A,
which represents the total shortage OF
the department, the state is considerably
more than 100000 better off than in
April, 1872.
One year ago the state was in such
financial straits that it became necessary
for the governor to borrow 100000 from
the First National bank of Birmingham
in order to meet the demands upon the
treasury. April is considered, in some
respects, the most exacting or trying
month of the year insofar as the state
treasury is concerned, the impression hav-
ing for years obtained that If there is
enough money on hand to meet the de-
mands of that month that 1t will be COM
paratiyely plain sailing for the rest of the
year. Last year proved no exception to
that rule, the result being that the state
had to call upon w. 2. G. Harding of
Birmingham to advance 100000 in order
that all outstanding claims against the
treasurer might be met.
Improvement Each Month
The money that was borrowed from
the Birmingham bank was paid back:
all obligations were, met, and each sue
eeeding month showed that the state was
getting on a better financial level. Short
ly after January l. 1913 the announce
ment was made that the state had paid
all outstanding warrants that had been
hypothecated by various banks. More
over, it was announced that the state had
paid every dollar of its floating debt.
The same condition obtains today. At
the close of business April Is the books
of the state treasurer showed that there
was S112, ,49O .94 deposited TO the credit of
the state. The outstanding warrants,
which consisted mainly of those which
amounted to something under 100000.
Will Not Borrow Money
And the governor had not borrowed a
cent. More than that, the governor does
not intend to borrow any money. Lacy
got in cash something like $4,000 of the
states funds, yet despite the fears Of
many people throughout the state, the
situation insofar as finances were con-
cerned was vastly more promising than
in March, 1912. when nine out of every
10 people thought that the governor would
be compelled to call the legislature to-
gether. and when others thought that the
state was ON the verge of bankruptcy.

treasury will be enriched by an ad-

CHANCE TO INVESTIGATE
CONVICT DEP PA;TMENT

Mr. Fuquay of Ta1apoosa fayors Civ
ing the administration a chance to make
thorough investigation of the convict
department. from which department, he
states, have emanated the most foul
odors to every honest citizen He refers
tc the recent disclosures as proof of
"wanton rascality," to which ''the graft
in the New York police force scarcely
compares. etc.
Senator Plownlan of Talladega Is of
the opinion that while the cost of an
extra session would probably amount to
$4,000 the state from an extra session
would reap a benefit far more valuable
than that sum of money.
Mr.. Letson of Marion makes the only
sensational statement. He expresses him
self as favoring the extra session, but
as having no hope that one will be
called on account of certain influences
which he declares to be opposed to the
extra session.

OUTBREAKS Ii K E L Y.
Congress Will Convene and Huerta
Will Read Message on Mexican and
L. S. Relations.

Washington, Sept. 15.-With the
dawn tomorrow Of independence day
in Mexico events will transpire which
may change the whole course of
American history. Officials in Wash
! ington are awaiting these events with
! interest and not little anxiety. Not
only is it the day when the hot blood
e.: MeXicans are expected to give long
rein to their patriotism, but it is the
day on which the Mexican Congress
convenes, and the day when Presi-
dent Huerta will read to that body a
message on the United States Mexico
negotiations.
For weeks citizens of Mexico who
have not heretofore taken up arms
have been undergoing military train
ing. The reason given by the Mexi-
can government to the outside work.
for this training is desire for a
monster parade in the capital tomor-
row. Obviously, however, the pur-
pose is to present the United States
the spectacle of large, trained, am
patriotic militia. Care will have to
be exercised by the Mexican govern
ment to keep the ardor of these re-
cruits in check There are too many
Americans still in Mexico City not to
make the occasion one for alarm.
AS far as the administration Here
is itself concerned, the prospects Of
tomorrow's developments is not caus-
ing undue activity. President Wilson
returns tomorrow, not because OF any
warning dispatches" from Mexico.
but because he announced on leaving
Washington last Thursday that he
he hopes before the end of the week
to be callel upon to sign the new tar
If bill. Evidence that the admins
tration itself, meaning the President
and his advisers, is not much concern
ed over the Mexican situation is fur
ther found in the fact that Secretary
Bryan has not yet cancelled his lee
ture engagement tomorrow in Staun-
ton, W., 225 miles from Washing
ton.
What anxiety there is, is being
shown by officers of the War and
Navy Departments and subordnates
in the State Department, all tf
whom have had more actual expert
ence than their superiors in dealing
with Latin American Situations"
Among these the fear is plain that
the presence Of large numbers of
troops in the Mexican capital to-
morrow and the spreading of Huer-
ta's message, may be the signal for
serious arti-American outbreaks.

William Griffin, a former AleXan-
clrian, who has been missing from the

Poss, of this city, on April 25th. Off
Ger Ferguson left here Yesterday

were needed as the prisoner stated
he was perfectly willing to come here
for trial. The watch was found in
