 Dawson, Yukon Territory. 7OU have all heard of the Klon-
 dike, the treasure cave of Jack k4 Frost in this faraway land of lENSzyb the north, where gold dust and
 gravel and powders are cement ed. together by perpetual ice You know of the thousands who rushed here a few years ago, and of the hundreds who went back loaded with gold You may have heard how the district has produced gold by the ton, and how within 10 years after its discovery the output footed up more than $10o,000, GOO. That was the Klondike of the past. I write of the Klondike of today.
 The first gold came from large pockets. The icy earth was thawed down to bed rock with wood fires, and the yellow grains dragged forth with pick and shovel and the sweat of mans brow. It took rich dirt to pay for the labor, and when the cream had been skinned the individual miners left almost in a body. Then the new Klondike began, which continues in the Klondike of today. Companies with millions of capital brought in the latest of mining machinery. They thawed the ice with steam points, and forced elec- tricity to dredge the gold-bearing gravel from the depths of the earth and wash it to get out the gold. They turned the course of rivers and carried them in pipes over the mountains to wash down the hills. They handled millions of tons of material, but each ton has yielded a few grains of pure gold, and altogether they have produced almost as much wealth as came forth in the first 10 years by the work of individual miners.
 The mining of the present is more de- structive than that of the past The fires of Sodom and Gomorrah left paths no more marked than the tracks of the dredges and the hydraulic giants They have walked over some of the most beau tiful parts of the world, and left them the abomination of desoation. Twenty years ago there was no more beautiful valley on earth than that of the Klondike. It was bordered by grass covered hills that rolled over one another, rising here and there to far above the height of the Blue Ridge. Both hills and valleys were covered with woods In the open spaces the grass reached to your knees or your waist. and there were wild flowers everywhere As soon as gold was dis covered men began to chop down the trees. Lumber was worth $100 and up- ward a thousand, and little pine logs brought S3 each. The miners thawed their way down into the gravel, and

 to the masses-who love the theatre-that Ford performed for those who love to walk. The Moving Picture is great educatrir-we see distant countries and foreign lands in the movies that we would newer be abul to see in enny uther way. We see grate statesmen and crowned heds, lords and etc. in the movies which otherwise we would probabully go rite on down to graves without seeing.

point.
With the exception OLA brief discus
sion on the part of Mr.. Barber relative
to the coal shortage and the purchasing
of two bloodhounds, nothing of inter-
est occurred.
Mr.. Barber called the attention of the
commission to the fact that there was
la possibility of coal famine, occa-
stoned by the confiscating of cars OF
coal consigned to the city by the rail-
roads. 1t was pointed out that several
cars of coal had recently been used by
the railroads for the purpose of firing
the engines and that the lack of suf-
ficient cars to haul the coal presented
the problem OF getting fuel to heat
the schools and run the municipal
power plant at North Birmingham.
After some discussion, the matter was
placed in Mr.. Barberfs hands to inves-
tigate and take whatever action he
saw fit.
Mr. Barber stated that he wanted to
purchase some bloodhounds for the pur-
pose of running down criminals who
committed heinous crimes He stated
that his attention had been called to
the fact a dozen or more white women
had been the victims of negroes who
either assaulted or attempted to as
sault them, during the past 10 months.
He was given the authority to buy dogs
and use his own discretion in the mat
ter. Mr.. Ward suggested that he buy

j. Quincy Smith Calls At
tention to Statute Cover
ing Troops in Field
COMMISSION WOULD
HAVE TO BE NAMED
Troops From Other States Cast
Ballots in Recent Elections and
Have Arranged to Vote
Next Tuesday

Has Governor Henderson overlooked the
fact that Alabama soldier boys on the
Mexican border might enjoy the oppor-
tunity of casting their ballots for the
candidates for President and the cen-
stitutional amendments next Tuesday!
This question was asked yesterday by ].
Quincy Smith, a well known young at
torney.
According to Attorney Smith. other
states, especially New York, Massachu-
sets and Maine, have taken advantage
of an old law passed in 1864, which al
lows soldiers in the field to cast their
ballots before a commission from what
ever state the militia happens to be- In
Alabama, it apparently has not occurred
to Governor Henderson, according to Mr..
Smith, that such a commission might De
appointed. AS it now stands thousands
of other national guardsmen on Mexican
border will vote next Tuesday like regu-
lar citizens, while the patriots from Ala
bama will merely look on.
1T does not seem quite fair to me,
said j. @. Smith, that the members of
the National Guard should be deprived of
their rights to cast their ballots in the
presidential election next Tuesday. There
is law on the statute books that makes
it DC ssible for Governor Henderson to
appoint commissioner or commission to
go to the border and hold an election
for the Alabama members of the Ma
tional Guard. There are 1000 Alabama
men out on the Mexican border, and their
votes on the constitutional amendments
might be of great Importance.
al; the northern states have appointed
commissions to take care of the ballot
ing OF their guardsmen. Practically every
state has done SO, with the exception OF
Alabama. SO it looks to me as if Cover
nor Charles Henderson has been sleeping
on his rights.
Attorney J. Quincy Smith was formerly
a major in the National Guard, and is
well versed in the affairs of the Alabama
troops.

VIRGINIA PEOPLE
SHOUT AND SING
AS SALOONS CLOSE

probably receive test very soon by
those wishing to guard against the fu-
ture.
Along with the prohibition measure,
and to insure it's enforcement, the legis-
lature passed a bill which provided that
custer proceedings may be brought
against state or municipal authorities
who show laxity in putting 1t, or any
other measure, into effect. In addition
a commissioner was provided to see that
tho law was observed.
Many of the saloons had closed during
the past few days, because their stocks
We're exhausted, but the lives of the re-
maimng were ushered out to the tune of
church bells and shouting and singing of
enthusiastic dry workers, who held meet
ings and watch parties in almost every
part of the state.
In sharp contrast were the elaborate
wakes in clubs and hotels by those
who saw the long arid spell before them.
One bright spot shone out to the vets,
however, at Bristol. There, by telephon-
ing across the main street to the Ten
nessee side of the line, one can order
liquors from interstate shipping houses.
Several Of the Bristol saloons moved their
stores a stones throw and converted
them into establishments of this kind.
Although the authorities of Newport
News and several of the smaller towns
had issued decress postponing the cele-
bration of Halloween to prevent possible
disorders, the passing of the saloons was
peaceful. Crowds We're on the streets I'M
til midnight, but they were mostly made
up of good-natured jewellers and few ar
rests We're made.

.ENG|NEERA AT BOYS
SCHOOL SAYS He
HAD A HARD pull
"Just as Soon as I Started

to Climb" He Says

w. X. Bender, steam engineer in charge
of the plant at the Boys Industrial
school, East Lake, and living at 2l4
Charles street, West End, does not hest
tate to tell anyone of the remarkable
results he has obtained from Tanlac
While in Eugene Jacobs drug store last
TUESDAY, Mr.. Bender said:
Just as soon as l started on Tanlac
I commenced to climb. 1t built me right
up and made a new man of me. MY
system was all rundown for several
months. 1 ached all over and was aw-
fully depressed and felt miserable all the
time. My appetite left me entirely, and
! was simply down and out, and felt SO
tired / could hardly NOPE around.
Il was finally taken down with typhoid
fever and was sick in bed for six SOLID
weeks. l tell you I had mighty hard
pulh and il had begun to look like
wasn't going to get up at all. When
did get able to sit up it seemed almost
impossible for me to gain any strength,
and even after / went back to work felt
so miserable and weak I could hardly
get around. My appetite was still gone
couldn't eat enough to give me any
strength and l was in such a bad shape
] had to lay off from my work con-
tinually.
II was terribly worried about my con-
dition when 1 started on Tanlac, but l
have never felt better in my whole life
than l do now, and there's nothing too
good for me to say for Tanlac. My APP
petite returned and / got to eating ike
a wolf in just a few days, and then L
1got stronger by leaps and bounds.
can hardly get enough to eat now. and
when get home at night and smell the
supper cooking just want to rush right
III and go to eating. All the bad effects
: of the fever seems out of me and all that
tired, achey feeling is gone, too. My work
is no trouble to me now. and I'm always
on the job. Now, 1 have given you my
statement and every word of 1T is the
truth l want you to publish it, and let
everybody know what Tanlac has done
for me-
Tanlac contains wonderful reconstruc-
tive properties, and as a general tonic for
systems that are rundown and weakened
by typhoid fever and other constitutional
diseases, and as a tissue builder, biood
purifier and strength giver, it has no
equal. When people become deoiltated
their digestive organs lack vitality, and
act slower and less effectually than with
people who are strong and well. The cir
culation becomes poor, the blood becomes
thin, the appetite fails. and the digestion
weakens. Tanlac is the ideal strength
ener, because it creates good, healthy
appetite, aids digestion, and in natural
way builds up, strengthens and lnvlg-
crates the entire system.
Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu-
sively by Eugene Jacobs drug store ana
Patton-Pope Drug company; in Ensley by
D. w. Morris Drug company; in Besse-
mer by REORGANIZATION Drug company,
in Pratt City by Gale Drug company, and
