TURNER NAMED ID SUCCEED LACKLAND Clarke County Man Lands Appointment to Vacant
 Judgeship

Montgomery, January 1.--(Special) Ben D. Turner of Chatom, Clarke coun- ty, was today appointed by the govern CT to the office of judge of the First Judicial circuit, to succeed Judge John T. Lackland of Grove Hill, who died on Christmas Day.
 Mir. Turner was indorsed for the posi- tion by . large number of prominent south Alabama citizens, and secured the office over field of several other leading attorneys in his district.
 MT. Turner is probably the youngest man whom the governor has named for a judicial position during this admin tstration, the appointee not yet having reached his 2sth birthday. He is re- garded by his friends, however, as in every way qualified to fill the high position of circuit judge, and the gov ernor is believed to have made wise selection.
 MT. Turner has been a warm personal friend of the administration, having managed the present governors cam- paign in his county in 1910, and hay ing prior to that time managed the anti-amendment campaign in his coun- ty. During the past four years he was a member of the state democratic execu- tive committee, and achieved consdera- ble reputation by his fight before the committee last spring for a double pri- mary.
 The fight for the circuit judgeship was hotly contested. Mir. Turner's op- ponents being W. F. Herbert of Dem opolis, J. B. Barnett of Monroeville, and Judge s. J. Wolff of Demopolis.

THE EMPEROR SENDS
 MESSAGE ID TROOPS
German Ruler Urges Forces to Face the Future
 Unflinchingly

Berlin. January 1.-(via London, sos 1 a. m.)-Emperor William in a New Years message to the army and navy
 asks them to face the new year in- hinchingly and to look forward to new deeds and new victories for the beloved fatherland. The message reads: After five long months of heavy and hot fighting. we enter the new year. Brilliant victories have been gained and great successes achieved by the German army almost everywhere on tke territory of the enemy while repeated attempts of our opponents to swarm on German territory have failed.
 My ships have covered themselves with glory on every sea and the crews have proved not only that they know how to fight victoriously but to die like heroes when overwhelmed by superior forces.
 Behind the army and navy the en- tire nation stands in unexampled har- mony, prepared to sacrifice it's heart blood for the sacred domestic hearths which we are defending against out rageous invasion. Much has come to pass in the old year. but the enemies are still firmly kept low. Always fresh hordes are rolling up against our army and the army of our faithful allies, but their numbers do not frighten us. AL though the times may be serious, and the task before us heavy one, we look forward into the future with the firmest confidence.
 Next to Gods wise will, I trust to the matchless bravery of the army and navy and know myself to be as one with the entire German nation. There fore let us face the new year un- flinchingly, looking forward to new deeds and new victories for our be- loved fatherland. WILHELM.i

 RUSSIA NOW FINAL City Councils Refuse to Au- thOrize Sale of Beer and
 Light Wine

Petrograd. January 1.-(Via London 7:3o a. m)-The last appeal against Russia S prohibition decree failed Thursday when rejected a petition to authorize recom- mencement of the sale of beer and light wines The recent final order to discon- tinue selling all alcoholic drinks was is- sued with the reservation that the city councils should have the right to appeal for an authorization of the recommence- ment of the sale of per cent beer and light wines.
 The final prohibition order was so un- expectedly issued that there was no op- portunity to provide stock against the coming period of abstinence Between and o'clock in the evening the mer- chants received instructions that next day there would be absolute prohibition and there was no chance to give warning to early customers who on a false alarm previously spread abroad, lines the streets for hours awaiting their turn to squeeze into the crowded wineshops.
 The formerly popular restaurants which managed to weather the vodka edict are now almost without patronage.
 The liquor dealers, restaurant keepers, winegrowers and distilers brought all pos s1Dle Influence to bear on the city coun- cils for authorization to sell beer and light wines, assisted by theorists who hile approving of general sobriety, thought that abstinence should come more gradually and that the sudden cessation of the use of all alcohol would have an Injurious effect Despite these influences, however, and the fact that not l per cent of the members of the city councils were teetotalers. the councils rejected the De- tition by vote on a ratio of more than four to one.
 The extreme measures to enforce prohi- bition even extend to the sale of denatured alcohol, varnish and every conceivable al cohoiic compound which are not salable without a permit

DUG OUT OF MOUND FORTY YEARS AGO Dr. Porter Sent Box of Peculiar Earth Sub-
 stance to President
 Montgomery

James S. Montgomery, president of the Galveston Real Estate exchange, and vice president of the Savings and Loan com pany, recalls that 42 years ago d box containing a peculiar earth substance dug out of what is now known as Vitalitas mound, was sent to him for use.
 MT. Montgomery says; Calling at Schott's drug store for a bottle of Vital itas, I mentioned the fact that Dr. Rob- ert Reese Porter. my wife's uncle. in the seventies, sent me box of mound earth, stating it was good for the blood and liver and as tonic. This substance, the base of Vitalitas.' I used and can truthfully say did me good Dr. Porter was an eminent physician and lived and died in Columbia, Brazoria County, Tex. This testimony as to the merits of vi- talitas Is given you voluntarily and unso- licited."
 Vitalitas as now extracted is rich in forces and mineral properties and is far more effective than as crudely used for generations in Texas. It is without doubt natures greatest corrective and rura- tive, sweeping away disorders of stomach liver, kidneys, bowels and blood. even where all else has failed.
 Question the vitalitas man and have a sample drink of Vitalitas today at Averyt's Drug Store. 109-1l1 20th st., or write there for information M

PATH0S OF. HUNCHBACK'S
- - SUICIDE IN FLORIDA


One rarely finds anything more
pathetic than the letter written 10
Magistrate j. NJ. Endicott by the
mother of R. o. Kreklan, who was
found dead here last January. The
woman saw her deformed son, who
was her best beloved child because
of his affliction, leave home after
a quarrel with his father. The
young man then disappeared She
heard from him no more, had no
knowledge of where he was or
what he was doing and she sat in
her home and mourned for him
that was lost. She watched and
waited for his return, and that her
prayers were not answered makes
one doubt that it is worth while I"
ask God for favors. Her prayers
were sincere, for her heart was
bleeding for the boy. He was a
man to everybody except his mother.
who always thought of him as hei
boy. Day after day she waited in
vain.
The father, too, must have grieved.
He probaly never admitted that he
was sorry for the things he said that
drove the young man from home to
face a world none too kind to a
hnnchback. One can imagine him,
stern and silent, refusing to admit
his wrong or that he would forgive
the son should the latter come bach
home and ask to be taken in. The
father died without knowing that
the son had preceded him to the next
world; had grown so weary of life
and it's constant struggle that he had
come to town where no one knew
him and there killed himself. The
father was spared that sorrow.
How often during the II months
that the young man was away from
home would he have gladly gone
back had he been sure of a welcome.
A hunchback is usually simply toll
Grated; most persons feel sort CT
repulsion for a man so deformed, ard
the unfortunate must grow very
weary of averted faces or plying
eyes. The necessity of earning
living was there and young Krek-
lau stuck to his work He was en-
ployed in a piano store for some
in a town so miles from
his old home, yet he gave no sign
that he was alive.
Finally the man decided that life
was not worth while away from
home and those he loved. He boarded
a train, assumed a new name, and
came to Florida. He went to Tafpa
and was there for several days. He
was not in want and had money for
his comforts. but ease did not come
to his bruised heart, and he evident
ly determined to die. That he want
ed no one to know who he was is
shown by the fact that he came to
this city in the evening, and, after
destroying all marks of Identified
ton, went to a lonely street and
there fred shot through his head.
Had he known how his mother
felt. how she watched and yearned
for him, he would have gone homa
and been happy. This should teach
the fathers and mothers to be gentle.
to control tempers and to forgive
Let any father put himself in the
place Of that father in Iowa and
imagine his feelings as time passed
and the missing son failed to return
or to give any sign that he lived and
loved in spite of it all.-St. Peters
