WHAT CATARRH IS

1t has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form Of snuffs and vapors do little,
i any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat It's
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in Scott's Emulsion which is a
medicinal food and a buildng-tonic, free
tromalcohol or any harmfuldrugs. Tryit.

LATADY BOUND TO
SUPPORT NOMINEES
Chairman Bethea Says Par
Elephants in Primary Are
Honorably Obligated

THE laws governing participation in
democratic primaries are so plain that he
who runs may read" declares John B.
Bethea, chairman of the democratic ex-
ecutive committee, in replying to Francis
B. Latady, republican nominee for Con-
gress.
Chairman Bethea writes that under the
laws of Alabama and the rules of the
democratic state executive committee,
every man who participated in the recent
democratic primary is morally and hon.
orably bound to support the nominees of
the democratic party.
The letter of the county executive COM
mittee chairman was brought forth by
the letter of Mr.. Latady several days
ago to the effect that even though he
was the republican nominee for Congress,
and despite his participation as voter
and officer in the democratic primary, he
intended to continue participating in DEM
ocratic primaries until some new rules
were made to stop him.
The letter of Chairman Bethea follows:
Hon. Francis B. Latady, Birmingham,
Ala.
Dear Sir: Replying to your favor of
the 2Utn ultl1nO, L neg 10 say lHdt tne
law referred to by you makes the quail
ficatons of those permitted to participate
in any party primary so plain that he
who runs may read viz quoting from
section ~ Subject to such political or
other qualifications as may be prescribed
by the state executive committee or gov
erning body of such political party The
qualifications as set down by the state
democratic executive committee in para
graph A, quoted in my last letter, sets
out as follows: All qualified white cleo
tors who believe in the principles of the
democratic party, and who will support
the nominees in the said primary, are in
vited to participate therein Those who
participate, thereby pledge themselves to
support all nominees. These, and these
only, are the qualifications. Every man
who participated in this primary is NOR
ally and honorably bound to support the
nominees. Yours very truly

tive Committee

Order Made in Case Leaves
Situation Same as Present.
Alfalfa to Secure a
New Station

Montgomery october 4-(Special. )--Ac-
ton of the Alabama public service COM
mission today in the Birmingham grain
case operates as a practical defeat of
the efforts to obtain a cheaper rate on
grain from the west to Birmingham. The
commission ordered the establishment of
a Decent rate on grain from Riverton
and Sheffield to Birmingham only where
such grain originates at Alabama land
ngs on the Tennessee river, and fur
Their ordered that rates on grain like
wise be similarly reduced from the same
points to all common points in Ala
bama. The commission took the position
that it could not, by it's action cut the
approved interstate rates. The order is
effective 20 days hence.
The purpose of the petition, as entered
by the Birmingham Grain exchange
against the Southern railway and other
lines several months ago, was to OBJ
tain a lower grain rate from the west
via water to Riverton and Sheffield and
thence to Birmingham.
applying only to intrastate movements,
has been cut from 16 cents to 10 cents
The rate to other common points is re-
duced in the same ratio, leaving the diff
ferentiaIS the same as before.
