I am writing this testimonial through my own free will that sufferers of kidney anda blad- der diseases will know of the wonderful merits of Swamp-Root. l recommend Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root whenever 1 can and always have a bottle of Swamp Root in my home.

ANNISTON

Anniston, January 16-(SpeciaL)-Con- gressman Fred l.. Blackmon, who has been working for many months for the location of an artillery practice camp at Anniston has received copy of an order issued by the war department. di- recting that the camp be prepared and equipped. John B. Darlington, president of the Anniston Chamber of Commerce, who has been assisting MT. Blackmon ma terlally in the effort to locate the camp here, stated Saturday morning that it is very probable that government aviation camp will also be placed here at the same time the artillery practice camp is being held. The soldiers will come about May 15 and will break camps about Sep tember 15. The camp vii lincude two bat teries of regulars and volunteers from Alabama. Georgia. Mississippi South Car olina and Florida. A hospital will be es- tablished. and practice in this department will be held under as nearly the same conditions as exist during war times as possible. In order to secure this camp 1t was necessary for the citizens of this county to furnish the government 14,0OO acres of land. The Chamber of Commerce undertook to secure the lands needed, and land corporations have already of fered over TOGO acres free of charge, and small farmers are being arranged with now by Mir Darlington and other mem- bers of the Chamber of Commerce.
 Following the lead taken by the anti prohibitionists in Birmingham and Mont gomery petition was being circulated on the streets of Anniston Saturday asking the legislature to submit the liquor ques- tion to vote of the people. c. T. Brooks whose term of office as sheriff of Cal- houn county will expire on Monday, was circulating the petition in Anniston Sat urday afternoon. Several local optionists have declined to sign this petition for business reasons. They Claim that many people go from Anniston to Birmingham to trade merely to get drink while there. that Anniston Is suffering all the i'll effects of prohibition and that Bir- mingham. being under local option law. and licensing liquor, is imposing an un- just discrimination against business men in Anniston and other places where luuor is sold. Following out this same reas- oning, these local optionists say that much business which once came to Anniston is now being turned to country mer- chants who have become very prosperous since prohibition was made effective in Anniston.
