ALABAMA TROOPS
 ID ENTRAIN FOR
 BORDER VERY SOON
War Department, However, Will Not Confirm RumOr That Orders Will Be Re
 ceived at Early Date

Washington, September 26.-(Special) Constant rumors that the troops of Ala bama, Georgia, Florida and Mississippi will be ordered to the border within the next few days were not confirmed this afternoon by the war department. In the absence of Secretary Baker the invariable reply to the correspondent of The Age Herald was NO orders have been is- sued"
 The report that the troops of the states mentioned will be sent soon to the Rio Grande was based on positive information that no member of the National Guard Of the southeastern division would be per mitted to participate in the Jacksonville rifle tournament next month, the reason assigned being the fact that by that date they would be "entrained' for pa trol duty on the border. The war de- partment has an inviolable rule that no movement of troops, either regulars or guardsmen, shall be announced in ad- vance of actual movement. It is confi- dently believed in Washington, however, that Secretary Baker, immediately after his return next week, will issue the or- der which will send Alabamians to Tex as Significance is attached to the re- fusal of officials in charge to deny that the issuance of orders was contemplated.
 The activity of Villa and Carranza' s dissatisfaction with the continued occu- patton of Mexican territory by General Pershing are causes assigned for the probable movement of southeastern

Point Raised That Nominee for Mayor Failed to File
 Notice in Time
ELECTION LAW CAUSE
Mayor Lewis, the Defeated Candidate, Says He Will Retire Voluntarily Next Week When His
 Term Expires

Bessemer, September 26.-(Special)-t'or the past day or two, there has been some discussion as to whether or not the city of Bessemer will have a legal mayor and board of alderman after October 7, and so far the question remains unan- swered. It will be remembered that at the election on September IS, the regular dem ocratic nominee for mayor, l. A. Lewis was defeated by Judge B. Clay Jones' who ran as an independent.
 Ordinarily the nominee would take his seat as mayor on october 3, but it Is stated on good authority that Judge Jones did not qualify within the legal time Of 20 days, and therefore it was illegal to place his name on the ticket. It is fur ther stated that no member on the board of aldermen qualified according to the law passed by the last legislature and under the corrupt practice act, they can not hold office, as all over the state the municipal elections are held on the same day and the same law applies as in general elections
 If these statements should be borne out the situation will be compncated in Bes- semer as well as frs several other cities of Alabama, where the courts will have to adjust the affairs before the new off, cers can take charge of the affairs.
 It was contended that Judge Jones did qualify and at the office of the Judge of probate it seems that certificate stat ing that he was candidate was filed but that was just 10 days before the eiectfon'

RUMOR REACHES CAMP

Montgomery, September 26-(Special) The Alabama brigade and attached units, encamped at Camp Vandiver, will move to the Mexican border during the first 10 days in October, according to per- sistent reports, circulated today. While similar reports have been current here tofore, it is believed that there Is some basis for the present rumors, and there is a strong impression that the com manding officer has received unofficial advices Strength was added to the re- port when it became known that con- ference of the brigade field officers was held today to discuss the details of the movement.
 According to the report, the troops will begin to move immediately after the monthly pay day, on or about October 1. It usually requires several days to pay off the soldiers. It is said that the exodus will take place as soon as the railroad equipment used in carrying the North Carolina troops to the border has been returned to this section.
 Brig. Gen. c. R. Bricken declined to- night to enter into a discussion of the probable movement of the troops, but stated no official orders have been is- sued as yet.

CROP IS
 SHORT BUT PRICES
 MAKE UP LOSSES
Farmers in Middle Counties of State Are Not Suffer ing on Account of
 Rains

Clanton, septebmer 26.-(Specia-)-Now that the cotton crop is, in this sectlon' Chiffon, Coosa, Autauga and Fillmore counties, about all gathered, fair state ment as to the yield for the four counties can be made. Combined, the 1916 yield for the four counties, will range from ~ to 25 per cent of the total baled for the year 1915.
 A quarter as much as produced in 1913 will be all that can be assured thls year.
 The failure is owing to the late plant ing, the boil weevil, the rains during July and the dry season.
 With all this, the farmers, collectively, are not in a bad fix. Cotton at near It cents will bring nearly as much money In bulk as it did the two former years, when cotton was selling for cents and less.
 And then, a large number of the we'll to1io farmers held the 7-cent cotton of 1914-15; they have the bales stored at their homes and now at the near 16-cent price they ''let loose" of it occasionally. Some of these same holders are waiting for 2O- cent cotton.
 Other crops have been fairly good. Cat tie and hogs have proved to be ready money getters, and probably carloads of these Chiffon county animals are being shipped.
 Farmers and cotton growers have profit- ed by the failure of the cotton crop.
 Diversified culture is in the saddle and less acreage will be used for cotton for in 1917.

HOW THEY STAND

Chicago, September 26-The slen- der margin of one game still keeps Brooklyn in the van in the gruelling chase of the National league pen nant. The leaders had to win today to retain their place in front, for a defeat in the face of Philadelphia's victory, the latter, by virtue of the lesser number of games it has played, would have taken the lead. Boston, winning twice, gained half game, and now stands three and a half games behind Brooklyn.
 Philadelphia still has nine games to play-three with Brooklyn and six with Boston; Brooklyn has remain ing eight games-one with Chicago three with Philadelphia and four with New York; Boston has Il left-hve with New York and six with Phila- delphia.
 The situation is such that New York. in fourth place, still has a phy- sical chance, if it can keep up it's great winning streak. McGraw's men are six and half games behind Brooklyn, with 10 games to play. Should they take all 10, their record would be 91 won and 62 lost. Then, if Brooklyn would win only one of its eight, its record would be 90 won and 64 lost The standing;

We'll Known Citizen and Pa per Dealer of Birmingham Says Ferraline The Best On Earth-Cured Of Stomach Trouble Many
 Years Standing

'fYes. You may say to the people that Ferraline is the only remedy that has given me complete cure" says MT. Will liam Hitchcock of Birmingham, Ala, to a representative of the Frankville Medi- cine Co. Inc, of Demopolis, Ala.
 "All of the citizens of this city know me- as I have been daily on the streets for years selling papers, and they all are my friends, for l well know that l have enjoyed their patronage for many years. 1 know them all, and always every one of my friends have kind word for me. just simply because they had said among themselves that I would soon be gone. and they would give me the flowers while I lived and not wait until l was gone from them.
 ',All of this l appreciated very much, but I did not ever give up hope, for I felt just like that when the Maker made me that He also placed a remedy here that would cure all of my aches and pa5us. This I found to be true, for when ! basan taking Ferraline l was about gone~ and if I had not looked on the bright-side I could not have lived.
 My friends also know that I could not stand up to sell my papers, for my stomach gave me so much trouble that 1t seemed that life was not worth living. l could not eat any real food that would keep me on the streets selling papers, for if did would suffer untold aSOfles, would spit up everything that was con sidered solid food, and this was the case day after day for many years.
 T was growings weaker, oi course, all tho time and only my good friends cheer ing me kept me going, and finally one of my best friends suggested Ferrallne and I want to say to you that l felt the good it was doing me from the first few doses and after using two bottles now consider myself a well man.
 "All of the soreness has disappeared and I go about my work with renewed energy, and can safely say to you tha I can do three times as much work, anf with no bad feeling after my days work is done.
 "All the people of this city know tha I stay around the postoffice selling papers and I will be glad to tell any of my friends or fellow countrymen just hoy wonderful I consider Ferraline, and TUT thermore I well know that for any kint of stomach trouble or indigestion tha Ferraline has no equal"

According to the report in this newspaper in New York it is said the charge would be an- swered by the Secretary of War, per- haps, or by the Secretary of the Navy.
