! Jesse f. Stallings and Frank S. White

said voluntary raise of 100000, had
previously contended that the assessment
should be fixed at S24,000.oO0.
1t is understood that after a brief con-
sultaton the compromise at $4,000 600 was
agreed upon by both sides. and that
every body congratulated every body
else that the, tangle had been straight
ened out
On the basis of the compromise, judg-
ment will be rendered in the case, which
at the present time is in the courts of
this county, Monday. The case was set

|EQUAL SUFFRAGE
LEAGUE IN SESSION
To Write Letters to Con-
gressmen and Senators
TO WRITE TO WILSON
Will Ask His Support of Movement.
Mrs. Murdoch Tells of Attending
the Jacksonville Anti-Child
Labor Conference
TO WRITE TO WILSON

A literal bombardment OF Washing
ton was PLANNED at the semi-monthiy
meeting of the Equal Suffrage league
held yesterday at Clark & Jones nail
on Third avenue. The attack on Ad-
rianople by the Balkan allies that re-
suited in the capitulation OF that city
was not better planned than the at
tack on Washington contemplated py
the suffragists
But instead of shrieking shells ana
death dealing missiles the bombardment
of Washington will be by means OF
thousands of dignifled letters from all
parts of Alabama and other states d.
rected to the congressman and sena-
tors urging them to support the suf-
frage movement when the bill giving
women the right to vote is presented
for discussion and passage.
The letters will not be forwarded
direct to each. individual congressman
and. senator but will be sent to Miss
Elizabeth Shelley, daughter of the late
Gen. Charles M. Shelley, who is the
Washington representative of the Equal
Suffrage league of Alabama. The let
ters from each of the nine congression-
al districts Will be classified and at the
proper time forwarded to each con-
|gressman.
At the meeting yesterday which was
well attended Mrs. Solon Jacobs, presi-
dent, presented the matter of writing
the letters and every member of the
association promised to write letters
and to urge others to do so.
A resolution was offered and carried
unanimously that a letter from the
Equal Suffrage association be sent to
President Wilson asking his support OF
the equal suffrage movement,
Another feature of the meeting was
the report of Mrs. w. l.. Murdoch,
chairman of the Alabama child labor
committee, recently returned from at
tending the child labor conference held
at Jacksonville. Fla. As the abolish
ment of child labor and the elimina-
tion of the white slave traffic are two
iof the strong reasons advanced for
Iequal suffrage, the report of Mrs. Mur-
doch proved very interesting. She stated
the conference was attended by many
workers of national fame for the pro-
lection of the child, and that their re-
ports were both interesting and en-
she was shocked at some of the child
labor conditions reported from Ala
bama and urged the passage of law
that would prohibit the employment
of children under II years of age in
any form.
Miss Lorraine Goar told of the ad-
dress given by Charles. Zueblin of the
American league or civic Improvement
before the Birmingham High school,
which she complimented very highly
land stated that his address was of
special interest TO the suffragists by
reason of his advocacy of many of the
reforms planned by the Equal Suffrage
association.
A number of other matters were dis
cussed after which adjournment was
taken until Saturday, April IL, at 3
o clock
On Tuesday Mrs. Solon Jacobs and
Mrs. Oscar Hundley will leave for Chat
ltanooga to attend the womans suffer-
age conference of the Mississippi valley
states.

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES
They Are Closely Observing
Public Health Conditions

An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, IN
an interview on the subject, made the
astonishing statement that the reason
why so many applicants for insurance
are rejected is because kidney trouble IS
so common to the American people, ana
the large majority of applicants do not
even suspect that they have the disease.
He states that judging from his own
experience and reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
The public, there is one preparation that
has probably been more successful IN
relieving and curing these diseases than
any remedy known. The mild and heal
ing influence of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root Is soon realized. 1t stands the
highest for its remarkable record OF
cures.
We find that Swamp Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad-
wise our readers who feel in need of
such a remedy to give it a, trial. It Is
on sale at all drug stores in bottles of
two sizes-fifty cents and one dollar.
However, if you wish first to test its
wonderful merits, send to DR.. Kilmer &
Co. Binghamton, N. Y, for sample
bottle, absolutely free. When writing
be sure and mention The Birmingham
