Unusual Natural Combination

When Nature placed deposit of Iron, Sulphur and Potash out in Mis- sissippi it was evidently done for purpose.
 It so happened that an old negro, while digging ditch through this mineral deposit, was cured of Rheu- matism while on the job.
 And thus it was learned that this mineral was good for blood troubles of all sort.
 And then from this mineral Sul- Ferro-Sol was made-simply by the addition of water.
 And now Sul-Ferro-Sol is the rec ognized standard among all blood purifiers. Highly recommended for Rheuma- tism, Pellagra, Eczema, Tetter, Facial Blemishes, etc. Interesting booklet, Road to Health" upon request. The Sul- IEerro-Sol Co.,, Montgomery, Ala. IDesk E.

Washington, October S.-(SpeciaL)-Di- rector General Hines of the railroad ad- ministration will not rescind his order rejecting the recommendation of G. A. Tomlinson, director of inland waterways, that barges be operated on the Alabama river.
 His reason stated today is that the government will so soon return railroad properties to their original owners that he doesn't consider it wise for the gov ernment at this late hour to undertake new service.
 The project was of deep interest to Montgomery and Selma. Senators Bank head and Underwood and Representatives BIackmon, Dent, Oliver and McDutfle endeavored to cause the director general to rescind his order but without effect.

For the Good of
 the Community

FIN d llCCl0 over two IuOuClIO TA1dUd1lc one hundredth anniversary will be here On December IA, 1919, Alabama was admitted into the union as one of the sovereign states.
 Last fall and winter great deal was said and written about this event and steps were taken to observe it in a fitting manner.
 When the legislature met last January bill was passed appointing committee to make arrangements for the celebra tion. Some propaganda work was done immediately following this action.
 Nothing has ben heard of the matter since early in the summer.
 It is understood that tentative pro- gramme has been arranged providing for series of celebrations to be held on De- cember IA, in Birmingham, Montgom- cry and Mobile, and probably in one or two other places. These celebrations include pageants in Birmingham, Montgomery and Mobile, with more or less elaborate ceremonies ln Montgomery, and probably in Birmlng- ham and Mobile.
 A small sum was made available for the use of the legislative committee out of an appropriation carried III the bill, but the sum was insignificant.
 It is high time something is being done if the anniversary is to be observed ln a manner that will reflect credit on the 4lo o oo,,o,,o77,, ioc uJb QY.n thQ oQrp- monies are to be held.
 The men in charge of the matter stated some time ago that they would begm preparations for the celebrations as soon as the legislature adjourned. They gave no reason for waiting until that time, but it was presumed they had good cause, and that as soon as the lawmakers. de- parted from Montgomery they would get busy.
 If they have done anything since it has received no publicity, although the com mission has a publicity agent who, no Idoubt, would be glad to earn his salary by furnishing copy for the newspapers of the state.
 In the 100 years of her statehood Ala
 
 bama has grown fropa a sparsely settled community to populous and busy state of more than 2,500,000 inhabitants She has come to be one of the great industrial states and is producing farm products sufficient to supply her own people and to furnish a considerable surplus to other sections of the country
 There is no state richer in history, and she compares favorably with any other in industrial and agricultural development.
 The state is just now on the eve of talk ing great forward step in education, welfare, health and social progress. There is every cause for observing the one hundredth anniversary.
 But if it is going to be done it ought to be done on a scale commensurate With the importance of the state. It should be i'm pressive and in some way should tell the story of the states progress along all lines of endeavor.
 This cannot be done without prepara- tion. And the right kind of preparation will take time and money. T1uo ,,oonths is a very short period in
