ONE LITTLE DROP FALLS PER SECOND
Day and Night Process of Extracting Wonderful
 Earth Liquid Goes On

The method of extracting Nitalitas from the peculiar earth substance in which it exists is py no means rapid Dor is it complex. Al the laboratories where large quantities of the liquid are being produced the process may be studied with deep interest There are long rows of glass percolators filled with crude Vitalitas just as mined with the exception that it has become oxi- dIzed due to contact with light and air, and has crumbled into a fine pow der. The substance is moistened with distilled water and from the perco1a- tors the dropping process then begins and is kept up with the regularity of the best of a human pulse. Drop by drop day and night the dark golden fluid enters retainers. Save distilled water used in the percolation process nothing is added to Vitalitass nor is 5hy thing taken from 1t. It is perfect aS it is, and it is the most wonderful known curative nature has given to mankind.
 Taken into the system vitalitas sweeps away diseased conditions of stomach. liver. kidneys. bowels and blood. It cleanses, purifies and rein- vigorates. The good it does is consti- tutional and not merely temporary. It is effective even where everything else fails for such disorders as indigestion, Rheumatism, biliousness, nervous de- biiity, catarrh. eczema, etc. A display showing in miniature how Nitalitas is extracted Is now in progress at Averyt's drug store, 109-11 goth St. You can write there for information.

STATELAND AGENT ID MAKE HIS REPORT Will Be Most VOluminOuS Document In the Depart
 ment's History

Montgomery, October 7.-(SpecialJ-W. J. Martin, state land agent is preparing his annual report for submission to the governor.

SOME EARLY GLIMPSES
 AT NEXT LEGISLATURE
Mir. Campbell of Cleburne Is Discreet, But Will Oppose the Fee System Just the Same.
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

cleburne county will send to the legis-
 lature when next that august body is or
 sanized in regular session, John Frank
 lin Campbell.
 MT. Campbell is a comparativelv young
 man. and that he is discreet is exem-
 piified in the fact that he does not com
 init himself as to what action he will pur- sue on important matters destined to receive the attention of the legislature, prohibition, female suffrage, taxation, re- trenehment and other problems in which the ordinary citizen is more or less in terested
 MT Campbell was born 10 miles south o1 Heflin. July b 1876 He was early attracted by the dizzy whirl of the grea. | metropolis of Cleburne, however, and that he was not carried away, or swept
 off his feet, as the average citizen would say, it proved in the fact that as re-
 suit of his exemplary conduct he was
 sometime ago chosen to serve in the capacity of city clerk. Although he is an Odd Fellow and a Royal Arch Mason; he has up to the present time been suc- cessful in resisting the wiles of the gent Ter sex, for at this hour we find him un- attached, "whole-hearted and fancy free" He is member of the Baptist church. and, it is unnecessary to add, demo- crat. It is said that nothing so thrills his soul as when the democratic rooster flaps his wings and crows definance into tho camps of the enemy
 On the great majority of questions asked him by The Herald, the future rep
 resentative of Cleburne, is silent. He
 does not say that he favors the elimina- tlon of the convict lease System, either abruptly or gradually, but he admits that he would support a measure providing that certain fraction of the earnings of a convict be returned by the state to the family of the convict in that that
 family might not starye to death or other wise be inconvenienced during the ab-
 sence of the father or son or brother.

SECRETARY BRYAN
 URGES GERARD FOR NEW YORK SENATOR
Declares Election Is Indorse. ment of Policies of Demo- cratic Administration.
 Arrange Meeting

Washington, october 7.-Seoretary Bry- an entered the New York senatorial cam paign tonight when he made public a letter declaring himself in favor of the election of Ambassador Gerard as Ian ,udorsement of the policies of the ad- painistration The letter is addressed to Judge John NJ. Bowers, formerly Judge Gerards law partner. Its text follows:
 Judge Gerard has rendered splendid service at Berlin, and there is no reason why his success as a diplomatic repre- sentative should stand in the way of his promotion in his home state.
 "I feel sure he would make an excel lent representative of the great state of New York in the United States Serate, and his election would also be construed es an Endorsement of the policies of the administration of the President and as an intention on the part of the people to support him in the foreign programme which he has outlined"
 Because of legislative tangles in Con Press, administration leaders today were fearful adjournment would not be reached in time for many members to get home for their final campaigns for reelection. Word went out from the White House, however, that the President was very anxious that the session conclude by the end of next week. Whether Congress ad- 5curns or not cabinet members will carry out their plans for speaking tours. The democratic congressional committee was busy today making final arrangements for these trips, in which leaders of the Senate and House would participate.
 big meeting in Brooklyn for next Tuesday night is being arranged with Secretary Bryan, Senator James of Ken lucky and Representative Sherley, of Kentucky, as the chief speakers
 Secretary Redfield will speak in num- Ter of eastern states the latter part of the month. Secretary NlcAdoo will not be able to get to New York next week, but probably will speak there later.
 Senator Luke Lea, of Tennessee, was at the White House today in relation to the campaign in his state. Secretary Bryan, Secretary Daniels and other dem ocratic leaders will speak there.

METHOD|STS PLAN.
 CHURCH AT CAPITAL Hope to Start Soon On Structure In Washington
 to Cost About $3OO,OO0

The Methodist Episcopal church, south, will shortly begin the erection or an edi- flee in Washington of cathedral-like size and impressiveness. The committee on plans met in Birmingham yesterday to consider details. Those present were Bishop Warren A. Candler, Bishop J. H.. Mccoy, pr. w. F. Murray of Louisville, Dr. George S. Sexton of Shreveport and Dr. k. k. Hardin of Washington, D. c. The meeting was held at the Hotel Hill- man.
 Statistics show that southern Method- ism, as well as northern Methodism. has strong following in the national capital and that being so it has heen for some time the intention to erect an imposing church building there in every way worthy of the denomination.
 A site costing s75,O00, opposite the Car negie library. has been acquired and it is the purpose of the committee to go ahead with the work of construction with as little delay as possible.
 It is estimated that the building will cost about $250,0oo. Something like 900 has already been subscribed.

AS a great many other lesislators-to-be believe in this regard as does Mir. Camp bell it is safe to predict that certain changes in the present system will be wrought when next the general assem- ply assemblies.
 The fee system is iniquitous in the eye of the future statesman of Cleburne. For while he carefully avoids committing himself on practically every other ques- ticn asked, he does declare that he is opposed to that system under which at the present time, Alabama counties re- ward the activity of their sheriffs and other servants. With MT. Campbell's as- sistance assured. there remains no longer doubt but that the Tee system will be smashed in the next session of the legis- lature.
 MT. Campbell, his friends say, is polit- ioally ambitious, and it is generally be- lieved in the county of his nativity that son has been produced who will make history to the credit of his country.
 Tomorrow. II. \. Bradshaw of Flor encc, who will he one of LauderdaIc's representatives in the next regular ses- sion of the legislature.

 Tt is a great fair" he said. "The fire works tonight were as fine as I ever saw at Atlantic City. The stock exhibit is excellent and reflects credit on Ala bama
 Indeed the fair is worthy in every way and it's president, MT. R. A. Brown, deserves much praise. If the fair this year is not a financial success it will not be the fault of the men who brought all those exhibits together"

Will Use Cotton Bags

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 We have letter from our correspon- dents, Corn Products Refining com pa1y, advising that they substituted cotton bags for jute. at the various plants of the company. They will pack all their sugars and mill starches in cotton. They estimate that their re- quirements will reach 17,000 bales of cotton, or around $1,000.000 worth of cotton. The cotton bags will be more expensive to this company than the jutes. but they are trying to do their share towards relieving the situation among their southern customers.
 This seems to us to be n matter of interest to the general public, and we trust you will publish same in your paper. Yours truly,
