be enacted into law by the middle of next week All that
it is necessary for claim to do now, is to file

claim located before the 31s day of December to the
effect that he wants to hold his claim Claim owners are
cautioned not to overlook this part Of the proposed law
Delegate Charles A. SuIzer has been working upon

turn the Alaska coastwise trade over to the Canadian
vessels received death blow here today in the adoption
by the merchant marine committee Of substitute bill en-
bodyng the views of President Wilson, who is very much
opposed to turning the Pacific Coast trade with the
northern territory to Canadian bottoms. According to
the provisions of the bill Alaska is exempted from all pro
visions of the BILL Alaska is exempted from all provisions
of the bill which would authorize the shipping board to
grant licenses to foreign vessels for coaswse trade other
than Alaska under special limitations to exist during the
period of the war
committee of Pacific Coast Steamship men has been
in Washington for several weeks working to prevent the
seizure Of Alaska vessels and the entrance Of Canadian
ships into the Alaska trade and that their efforts is now
crowned with success is wholly due to the wishes Of the
President
AT recent meeting Of the shipping board it was stat
ed by Vce-PIeSdent r. b. SeyanS that the demands Of
the American army would necesSitate the taking over Of
every merchant vessel ON both coasts
The decision of the shipping board is received with
great deal Of satisfaction by steamship companies in
Seattle and San Francisco who had entered strong pro-
test against their trade being given to foreign bottoms

SOUTHERN CEREAL MANUF ACTURER
 HAS INDORSED T Lost Use of Lower Limbs From Fever-Gained Ten Pounds on Tanlac and
 Can Go Anywhere
 He Wants To

There seems to be no end to the long list of prominent men and women who are testfying daily to the wonderful re- suits they have derived from the use of Tanlac, the universally talked of medi- cine. R. w. Beale a well known man ufacturer who operates a cereal plant at Paris, Tenn, and kaolin mine at Iuka, Miss, residing at s57 Lamar street, Mem phis, Tenn, came out a short time ago with one of the most remarkable state- nents ever published in connection with a medicine.
 T had practically lost the entire use of my limbs from my knees down as a result of a severe spell of typhoid-pneu- monia, and this Tanlac has put me on ahny feet again as active as I ever was, tsaid MT. Beale
 From December 1, 1915, until February 2 1916, l was confined to my bed with this fever and even after l was able to he out of bed, I suffered so that I couldn't get any rest mentally or physi- cally. My limbs panad me terribly and I couldn't walk. It seemed that no kind strength and I had about decided that I was to be an invalid for life.
 The only way that l can tell you just what my great relief has been is to say that since taking Tanlac can go any where I want to, instead of sitting help less in a chair, my appetite ana ages ton are excellent, I have no more dis comfort al all and have gained 10 pounds in weight
 Tanlac is sold in Birminsham exclu- sively by Eugene Jacobs drug store and Patton-Pcpe Drug company; in Ensfey by D. w. NJ orris Drug company; in Bes- semer by Pegram- Patton Drug company, and in North Birmingham by Walker Drug company

GOV.THEO B|LBO MAY BE EUNOPPOSED IN HIS RACE FOR CONGRESS Mississippi Executive Wins Popularity in His Home
 District During Term HAS DONE MUCH FOR THIS SECTION OF STATE \ Lime Rock Crushing Plant Running to Full Capacity - Jackson Is
 Being Made Clean by
 Sanitary Expert
By E. E. FRANTZ

Jackson, Miss, September S.-(Special) A few days ago Gov. Theo G. Bilbo an- nounced himself as candidate for Con gross in the Sixth district, now repre- sented by Pat Harrison, candidate for the United States Senate against James K. vardaman. So far no opposition has developed. It begins to look like there will be none. and that Bilbo will step right out of the governors office into Congress. However, 1t is understood here that other candidates are going to be drawn into the race, and if those men, toned do throw their hats in the ring the district will see one of the liveliest races in it's history. It Is claimed by the enemies of the governor that he is not as strong now as when he went into the governors office, but that remains to be seen. It is possible that he has not so many friends around the cities and larger towns. but 1t Is not believed he has lost out with the country voters, and they are the men who elected him governor.
 It so happens that Governor Bilbo Is a resident of the Sixth district, and since he entered upon the discharge of his du- ties as chief executive he has done a great deal for his district. He could not have done more if he had his eye on a seat in Congress from the beginning of his term. Scores of friends and support CTS from his old home county and other counties in that part of the state have been given office by appointment, or through elections by boards of his ap
 
 gress, as a matter of course. But there are stronger and broader reasons why the district should support him. Cover nor Bilbo has seen to the creation of two or three new counties in that district, he has secured 1t four additional sena- tors, he secured the passage of the bill that made the centennial exposition pos sihle, to him Is largely due the creation and location of the State Normal college at Hattiesburg. He located the South Mississippi hospital at Laurel the tuber- cular hospital at Magee, the Industrial

MISSISSIPPI4N LEAD

Prof. W. F. Bond, state superintendent of education, has returned from Washing ton where he attended a conference of educators from all over the south to discuss and determine on the best meth- eds of using the money to come to each state through the Smith-Lever law. It was found that Mississippi gets sS0,000 rom this fund the present year, and Ss0Oo more every year hereafter for nine years, or until the fund amounts to $ls0,00o per annum for this state, and at that fig ufe It continues. This money must pu met dollar for dollar by the states. and fortunately for Mississippi it has already made an appropriation of s9O,ac0 per an- mum to the agricultural high schools, be- sides other sums to other causes, and is prepared to take over the fund aris- ing under the Smith-Lever Jaw. It was aeinleeeo, says Professor Smith, that Mis- sissippi led all other southern states in such schools.

MAY HOLD TWO OFFICES

Attorney General Collins recently gave Governor Bilbo a written opinion to the effect that no man could hold two offices of honor and profit in Mississippi, but It has been found that some of the best lawyers in the state disagree with the attorney general The question came up over the acceptance of commissions as officers in the army by eight or 10 mem bers of the legislature and the governor had stated that he would order special elections in all counties where such va cancies were alleged by the attorney gen. eral to exist. However, after conferring with other lawyers the governor Is al- most, if not quite, persuaded that be- cause member of the legislature en- lists for the war, showing a patriotic interest in his country, and happens to be an officer in that army, is no reason he should be busted as a member of the lawmaking body. The governor states that he will call a special session of the legislature in a few days, and if he does the chances are that the soldier members will be seated if they can be spared from their commands for a week or two.
 AT CAMP JACKSON
 There are now 5553 men and officers at Camp Jackson, in the western suburbs of this city, but 1t is expected that the 1500 in the first regiment will be ordered to the Alexandria, La, cantonment in few days. This would leave the Second infantry, 149S strong, 932 cavalrymen, 1393 in the artillery, 20 in the quartermaster's $ corps, 109 in the engineering company, and S2 in the field hospital company The city of Jackson lived up to it's promise to the war department to increase the water supply and build nearly 100 small houses in one week, and everything was in readiness when these units of the Second regiment began to arrive.

PRISON CROPS ARE FINE

At meeting of the trustees of the penitentiary this week all reports agreed that crops of cotton, corn, peas, potatoes, cane, sorghum, etc, are as fine as ever grew, that the live stock on the five big convict farms is fat and flourshing, that the convicts are healthy and as happy and well contented as it is pos- sible for convicts to be, and that the prospect for great harvest was never better. Because of the presence of the boil weevil last year the cotton crop was cut short by about 2000 bales, and that reduction is possible again, as the pests are very busy. However, the crop is well advanced and the .bolls are too tough for the weevils to puncture, except as to the top crop, and that never amounts to much. The convict farms will make more foodstuff this year than ever before-and the same may be said of the great ma Jorlty of private farmers. Trustee Mont Eomery directs attention to the whipping of conyicts by some of the guards or dflVers and demands that it be stopped
 but the two other trustees do not agree with him, and nothing will be done

LIME ROCK IN DEMAND

J. J. Coman, secretary of the peniten- tiary board of trustees, states that the farmers of Mississippi are beginning to buy freely of the lime rock being crushed at the plants at Okolona and Waynesboro and it is evident the man. agement is not going to be able to supply the demand The plants have a capacity of from to 10 tons per day only, not erough to fill a car, and the orders are coming in by the car lot. Those farm CTS who invested in the crushed rock last spring are in the market again, and for larger quantities, declaring one applica- ton did their crops a great deal of good. Truckers and gardeners were delighted with results, and they are all after more The trustees will ask the legislature for funds with which to enlarge the plants.

A SANITARY CRUSADE

J. A. LaPrince, 8 noted sanitary ex- pert who did great work in cleaning up Cuba a few years ago and making it habitable for white folks, is conducting crusade against filth in Jackson. The mayor of the city has placed 20 men and wagons at his disposal, and he has them all going from early morn till late at night. Hundreds of loads of garbage have already been dumped in the crematory, ponds and lakes have been drained and oiled, and sewerage connec- tions have been forced in every direction. It was found that there were hundreds of tenement houses and servants quar- ters in some of the best back yards in town where the open laterines were still in use, though Jackson has boasted the finest sewerage system in the south for 25 years-built by Walter G. Kirkpatrick, now of Rirningham

LABOR DAY NOT OBSERVED

The citizens of Jackson would not have known there was a Labor Day except for the fact that the majority of the de- partments at the capitol were halfway closed, and that the banks and postof- flee were doing no business. There was no effort at anything in the way of a demonstra tion and business went on just the same as on every other day
