the only announced candidates in oppo- sition to Mr. Huddleston but many names have been mentioned recently in this connection. Among those heard during the past week are Erie Pettus and Capt. Frank $. White. s. J. Bowie, J. R. Hornady and Culpepper Exum are all said to be willing to run if the people of the county feel tfr3t they can be of service in the present crisis.
 Early in the week there was some talk of White Gibson because of his inter- view in The Age-Herald but it has not materialized. Among other names recent ly suggested are Hugh Morrow and E. Il. Cabaniss, though it is understood that they have given little if any encourage ment to such suggestions.
 Sc lar as can be gathered the oppo- siticA Huddleston does not discount cey- ->-atrength he has in the county anc it has accordingly been the desire of those taking an interest in the matter to agree upon man who could unite the opposition to the incumbent and make a race which would put the district in a right .nstitude toward the national ad- ministration.

WIFE
 REGA|NS HEALTHBY . THE USE OF TAN[AC
Mrs. s. M. Jackson of Sa- vannah Tells How She
 Suffered Seven Years

Although placed on sale in Savannah but few weeks ago, hundreds of the best and most prominent people of that city are now taking Tanlac with the most astonishing and gratifying results. and numbers have called within the past few days to tell what it has done for them.
 Among the number was Mrs. S. M. Jackson, who lives at 3s1 Bernard street. Mrs. Jackson is the wife of Hon. Samuel M. Jackson, who represents Savannah and Chatham county in the state legis- lature. MT. Jackson has made splendid record and numbers his friends by the thousands throughout the state.
 In commenting on her remarkable res toration to health by the use of Tanlac, Mrs. Jackson said:
 T have been a great sufferer from acute indigestion, insomnia and nervous ness Almost always after eating my stomach would swell and fill up with gas and my heart would almost stop beating. would feel very depressed and at times could hardly get my breath and would feel as if I were smothering. Sometimes these attacks would come on at night and would have to sit up in bed until got rid of the gas This trou- ble made me extremely nervous and I slept very badly-in fact my food just seemed to poison me and I could not rel ish anything.
 The first bottle of Tanlac seemed to relieve this trouble entirely. After four or five days I felt very much stronger. My food did not ferment as formerly. and no longer notice the distressed feel ing after eating. My appetite is splendid now and relish what eat. l also sleep fine and feel so much better in every way
 T had become SO Respondent over my condition that I thought nothing could help me. It certainly was a fortunate thing for me when I heard of Tanlac It is not like other medicines I have taken It seems to sooth my stomach and it is a fine tonic. too because my appetite is good now and I digest what I eat
 T have great faith in Tanlac, and am only too glad to recommend it. You may rest assured that will speak good word for 1t to my friends
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu- sively by Eugene Jacobs drug store and Patton-Pope Drug Co.-Adv.

r O R I DECIDES HE CANNOT MAKE THE RACE FOR CONGRESS The Constitution Prohibits Judge From Holding An other Office During
 His Term IS GRATEFUL FOR
 OFFERS OF SUPPORT Several Other Names Have Been Heard During the Past Week in
 Connection With Ap-
 preaching Race

Judge William E. Fort, concerning whom there has been so much comment recently in connection with the race for Congress from this district, yesterday formally asked his friends that his name be no longer considered as a possibility for Congress at this time.'
 Judge Fort bases his decision not to run upon the constitutional provision which prohibits a judge of the circuit court from holding another office during the term for which he was elected. His formal statement on the subject is as follows:
 T am deeply sensible of the honor my friends would do me by their proffered support for Congress, and also of the great opportunity for service so strongly presented. I have weighed the entire situation maturely.
 Tn my Judgment section 150 of the constitution of Alabama, which provides that The judges of the circuit court shall not hold any office except judicial of fees of profit or trust under this state or the United States during the term for which they have been elected, precIudes my holding the office of congressman during my present term as judge. This provision of the constitution would not, perhaps, prevent Congress from seating anyone elected to Congress, if that body saw fit to do so, for the reason that Congress is made the sole judge of the election and qualification of it's own members: but. I have taken an oath to support the constitution of Alabama and ] believe would violate both the letter and the spirit of that constitution by offering for Congress, when I have four years more of my term to serve as judge or the Tenth judicial circuit of Alabama. Having enjoyed judicial honors at the hands of the people of Jefferson county, l could not conscientiously yield to any temptation of political preference or even of national service when I would there- by repudiate an obligation to the peo- pie of Alabama so solemnly undertaken by me.
 T shall always gratefully remember the confidence of the public and the wish of my friends that I should serve them in this new field, but, under the cir cumstances, l ask that my name be con- sidered no longer as a possibility for Congress at this time.'
 J. F. Carle and M. B. Grace are so far

"We have many subscriptions on which the initial payments have not yet been made and the womcn's com mittees and the Hoy Scouts have se- cured n great many pledge cards. It Is highly important that all who have not yet made their first payments go to the banks Monday or as early as possible and do so. Procrastination means long lines of walters at the bank windows. with the possibility of n large number of subscribers not be- ing served. The United States gov ernment may lose some good money ham may be diminished by tardiness on the part of those who have pledged themseIves to buy bonds. The trans action at the banks requires only few minutes and postponipg it Is inexcus- 1 nble."
 So spoke Chairman Coffin of the Great CT Birmingham committee. when asked for statement last night. He con tinued:
 "Yes, we are all going to keep at 1t until the last hour of the campaign-our committees, the wonian's committee, the Boy Scouts and the allied armies. We fare having additional committees ap- pointed to see people we have not yer reached in this campaign. We mean to get that $10,Oo0. GOO. I don't want to be tiresome, but l feel I must continue to urge our citizens not to wait tc De solicited tc buy bonds, but to come to T ,t North Twentieth street, or go to their banker and make subscriptions, If this request is oheyed, it will take some of the load off our committees and swell our total i'm kmensely."
 JACKSON WIRES WARDLAW
 Fled NJ Jackson. chairman of the Birmingham zone of 10 counties, sent the follow ing telegram yesterday aft ernoon to w. c. Nardlaw. Atlanta, chairman of the executive committee of the third Liberty Loan committee of this federal reserve district:

 below quotas will go largely over.
 Interest in every county continues;
 zone quota will be largely oversub-

 'gThe enthusiasm throughout the zone is now intense" said MT, Jackson. "Ev- cry county will be over the mark by Monday. 1t is our purpose to make the numerical showing as impressive as possible; in other words. to broad- cast the bonds. and we are meeting with great success An effort is also being made to persuade those who have subscribed in small amounts to increase their takings in proportion to their means.
 Tt is sad fact that not few individuals who live in first-class style. with automobiles and the other showings of wealth. are lend- ing less money to the government than those whose means are known to be limited,
 The finest thing about this cam paign Is the manner in which wage earners, salary workers and the farm CTS are responding. Too much praise cannot be given them for their patri- ouism. sa S

Mrs. E. A. DanneIly Dies

Montgomery, April 27.-(Special0 Mrs. E. A. Dannelly, wife of the pre- siding elder of the Montgomery dis bile, died suddenly at a Montgomery infirmary late last night and the body was shipped to Camden, Wilcox coun- ty, the old home, for interment. Mrs. Dannelly had smallpox about a month ago and it is probable that she be- came so weakened that she could not stand the strain of another illness which came suddenly.

Brown and Arthur Crowder, president of the Chamber of Commerce, are to make addresses on opening night. with a num- Der of other headliner features planned
 Manager Hill stated that his plan was to get the two civic bodies lined Up first and that now that this had been accomplished, the arrangements for the other special nights would be made. He plans to have every civic body and fratcrnal organizations take part in the opening, which willcontnue over 1G spe- cial nights, with the carnival spirit pre- vailing.
 It was at first intended to open the park May !, but delay in receiving freight shipments has held back some of the attractions, and Manager Hill does not intend opening until everything is in readiness. He stated, however that the park would be open for inspection two days prior to the formal opening.

 He was finally saved by the law abolishing capital punishment, but before this it was evident that he was suffering of tuberculosis in an ad- vanced stage of the disease.
 It appeared last summer that he could not live long, and it was certain that his further incarceration in the penitentiary would be the end of him quickly. On the petition of his mother supported by United States Senator Key Pittman of Nevada, Governor Campbell granted parol and he was taken to Las Vegas, Nev.
 Six weeks ago he was quickly brought back to Phoenix and placed in sanitarium but it was evident that his death was a matter of but a short time. He hated to, die and when wis itors called he asked them whether they did not think that he might live.
