very peremptory ringing of the bell a

Taking Medicine In the DARK.

Never take medicine In the dark.
This Is the advice In an interesting
little booklet | found in drug store.
1t is timely and wholesome and has
wide application. The people OF this
country are too fond Of taking medi-
cine in the dark They are so credu-
lous and so eager to make money that
they are constantly the victims or
their own folly. A man has made q
large fortune during the past fifteen
years by. writing letters from Spain
to persons in this country telling the
latter about fortunes left them by
strangers on certain conditions. These
conditions always involve the payment
of money before the fortune can be
secured. 1t is amazing how many per-
sons who ought to know better have
given up from $500 to $4,000 to an
absolute stranger in the belief that
with this amount the latter stood ready
to turn over $4,000 to 100000 to his
victims.-LeSlie's.

 Was Cited by the

Jere Gwin, former county engineer, last night issued statement in reply to that recently issued by the majority members of the board of revenue, W. c. Cameron, Hugh McGeever and L. H. Pennington.
 He still contends that the Newell Bros contract was at heavy loss to the county and states that he made efforts to have the work properly checked up. He writes
 "As to the charge of being a sore and discharged employe, will say I made my living in the. engineering profession be- fore entering work with the county six years ago, and think I can still do so. but this Is a sting to be let out for do- ing my duty to the people and the tax payers of the county in attempting to protect them in regard to the contract fin controversy, it is safe to say that had I blindly done the bidding of the ma- jority of the members of the board of revenue. Mir. Pennington and Hugh Me- Geever, the various excuses for a change would not have been raised.
 Terry Not to Blame
 MT. W. K. Terry, attorney for the board of revenue, is in no way to blame for this contract, as he drew in legal form what the majority of the board of reve- nue gave him, but you must charge the 1nsjcrity of the board of revenue with an -tTrUr that cost the county S,171.s0 This cost comes from two little words being left out of the contract. These words are seven and average" If they had not given MT. Terry seven miles as the longest haul the county would have saved s450o. Also by not saying 5oc per GU. yd. per mile average haul, the county lost 25c on each yard. or total loss to the county on AZ miles of s2,671.O9 This contract also calls for about six miles of road and this is misleading, as there is only 4s< miles of road to be cherted Talk ing MT. Pennington's statement that MT. cuiverhouse told him 50 cents per yard for first mile and 35 cents for each addi- tional mile, the county lost an average of 20 cents per cubic pard on 10,e6e cubic yards, or g total loss to the county of 39,599.4o by MT.

MT. Chamberlain of Mobile Is a Hard Working Young Man With Very Sane Ideas

Mobile county when next the legis- lature convenes, may have a delega- ton as strong as 1t had four years ago. But 1t will have no stronger. The only member of the old delegation who sur wives is Bart B. Chamberlain. Thomas M. Stevens, senator In 1911, did not stand for reelection, and neither did Albert Bush or George Sullivan, who with Mir. Chamberlain were members of the lower house. Mir. Chamberlain did ask for reelection and as was to be exepected, the pople granted his de- sire.
 MT. Chamberlain at the present tims Is comparatively young man. Four years ago, however, he was among the very youngest members of the iegis- lature. He was born in Mobile, Novem- Der 20. 1883. He was educated in the high schools of his native city and later at the University of Alabama.

He believes that re- trenchment should be practiced by the legislature and that the states Income should not be exceeded in the making of expenditures.
