medicine that puts new energy and vim
into his everyday life, he feels like letting
others know about it. That's how this man
feels. He is Mr.. d. T. Carter of 4o5 Pine
street, Admission, Ala.
For years I've suffered awful pains, in
my back from deranged Kidneys Some
times I'd have to get UP five or six times
during the night. I also had headaches and
was badly constpated, and my food seemed
to ferment in my stomach and form sour
gas. which caused much uneasiness and dis
tress. 1 was very dizzy at times and had
about lost my appetite. l had tried many
different medicines, but none helped me, and
I'd given up all hope of ever getting well
again. l heard so much about Dreco
bought bottle. and right from the start it
did me good. 1t soothed my stomach and
stopped the gas put stop to the consti-
patton and headaches. also the dizziness and
my appetite got better every day. The pains
in my back and kidneys have been entirely
relieved. and now l go to bed and sleep all
night long. and never have to get up during
the night as 1 formerly did
Dreco is made of the juices and extracts
of many herbal plants, which act on the
kidneys. liver. bladder. stomach and blood

the stomach. constipation. weakness. poor
appetite, nervousness, headaches, biliousness

ders as eczema. pimples. blotches, boils and
eruptions. The first bottle usually shows
splendid results, and full treatment, brings
permanent results.
All good druggists now sell Dreco. and it

Jacobs Drug Store. Dreco is also sold in
Bessemer by the Fulton Drug Company, in
Fairfield by Halls Pharmacy. in Wylam by

commissions, declared Senator John
Craft of Mobile. in a message today
from Montgomery when he learned
that the commission intended holding
the election to name city commission
er Monday, regardless of the fact that
the legislature had passed a bill ex-
tending the term of office of the COM
missioner to be elected Monday by 60
days
Mr.. Craft stated that his intention in
introducing the last bill was to save
the people of Mobile the expense of two
elections. He stated that his bill pro-
viding for an enlarged form of commits
sion government which is pending,
provided an election and as he could
not have that passed before time for
the Monday election, he introduced and
had passed the bill extending the term
of the commissioner and providing an
election in November.

RECORD MOST BRILLIANT
Gen Hooper was born at Lafayette
near Rome, Georgia, May "A, 1842, son
of Charles Jefferson Hooper and Jane
Byrd Word. His record as a Conferer-
ate soldier is brilliant one. At the
first call of the Confederacy he entered
the army as a private, May II, 1851,
in the Sth Georgia infantry. He was
promoted to the rank of lieutenant in
the 21st Georgia infantry the next year,
and was wounded. IN. the fall of 1853
he Joined Forests escort, under the
following circumstances, as related by
Major D. NJ. Scott, of Selma, adjutant
general and chief of staff to General
Hooper: Lieut. Hooper was at his
home near Rome. Ga, when Straight
made his raid on that city. and he i'm
mediately organized a company of men
under age and those not subject to
draft, for the defense of Rome. Capt
Hooper and his company joined Gen. N.
B. Forrest, and were with him when
SITdlSnI was captured. Inc company
was never mustered into the Confed-
crate army, and when Gen. Forrest saw
the gallant little band, he asked to
what command 1t belonged When in
formed that it belonged to none, he
asked Capt. Hooper If his company
would join him, which was voted on
favorably, the company being known
thenceforth as FORESTS Escort, No.

CHARGES RENEGADE
RESPONSIBLE FOR
CARR|ZAL ATTACK
Responsibility for Deviltries
of Villa Placed at Door of
American Manufac-
turers of Arms

New York, September 6.-Between
s17o0O.0oo and s2O,0oo,00o worth of
goods are smuggled annually across the
Mexican border, more than one-fourth
OF which are arms and ammunition, &C
cording to statement issued TODAY by
the national association for the protec-
ton of American rights in Mexico, quot
ing DR.. p. B. Altendorff former mem
Der of the United States military in
telligence department, as authority.
Responsibility for the "deviltries" of
Villa and other bandits was placed by
Altendorff at the door of American
manufacturers of arms and ammunition
VINO work hand in hand with the
smugglers." incidentally he declared
that a renegade America was respon-
slole for the attack on American troops
at Carrizal in June, 1916, when two
American officers and 10 men were
killed and twenty-th three wounded DR..
Altendorff said that the Mexicans who
made the attack were short OF ammuni-
ton at the time, but obtained supplies
through the renegade, who he claimed
"smuggled s165,000 worth across the
border prior to the attack"
Villa struggled over so per cent of
his munitions, DR.. Altendorff said. "If
that part of his supplies were cut off
ne would be forced out of business for
he could hardly keep going on the 40
per cent he buys from Carranzistas.
Doesn't it look as if responsibility for
Villas deviltries came pretty close to
the American manufa cturers and dealers
who supply the 60 per cent? And as
the Carranzistis are worse, if that be
possible, than the Villastas and al they
in common with other banditti down
there must now also depend entirely
upon smuggling for supplies, doesn't
the whole Mexican situation create a
somewhat embarrassing question of
ethics for these same manufacturers
and dealers?"
THE renegade American mentioned
by Doctor Altendorff was said by him
to be an agent of 7 Mexican Consul
Garcia, at Brownsville. Texas, and also
to be a confidential envoy of Carranza
while at one time he acted for Won
Eckhardt, the German ambassador to
Mexico, who was involved in the scheme
for an attack on the United States by
Mexico and Japan. This man is de-
clared to have bought $4,000 worth of
nickel in August, 1917, to prevent it
falling into the hands of the Americans.
DR.. Altendorf said that there was
on big drug store in Brownsville which
received shipments of ammunition in
boxes marked drugs" and that another
dodge resorted to by the smugglers was
to conceal ammunition in water melons
SO as to get past the custom officials.

Kaiser's Colonel
 Still Monarchist,
 He Tells Newspaper

Berlin, Nov. 11.-(By the Asso- ciated Press, )-Colonel Reinhard, commander of the Berlin brigade of the National Defense army, is quoted in the World Stage as declaring him. self a monarchist. The army officer had denied the authenticity of the interview but Erich Dombrcwski, of the Tageblatt, ayers that he obtained the interview and that the Colonel said
 "I make no bones of the fact that am a monarchist When one has served the King and Kaiser for thir- ty years, one suddenly carrot say from tomorrow 1 am republican. That is simply impossible. But do not be afraid. 1 consider it impossi- ble to resurrect the monarchy for the time being. The Entente forbids 1t. But what can happen in ten years, how the conditions may have altered, no one can tell. Naturally, a royal or imperial government as we had before the war will not do. But d democratic monarchy is conceivable. !"
 According to the newspapers ac- count, Colonel Reinhard then asked the correspondent his opinion of the future and agreed with the uswspa-

per man that military dictatorship or something similar must come. The Colonel declared that strong gov ernment must be established and that order should be brought about ay force if necessary.
 When the interviewer questione whether a dictatorship would last more than three days, the Colonel did not agree with him but cited his treatment of Upper Silesia where, he said, the troops when he went there did not dare to leave the garrisons.
 1 entered like thunderstorm. 7 said the Colonel, land ordered few leaders shot. It must go that way"
 Colonel Reinhard had been accused by a soldier of calling the German government a rabble and the red gold-black flag, the Jewish colors. When asked by the interviewer about this he is quoted as replying:
 "The Jewish flag is right. It turn ed the hearts of us old soldiers to see the white -black-red flag abolish ed in an instant. Under that flag which they have simply thrown on the dust heap hundreds of thousands of soldiers lie buried in enemy terri tory"

 Crittenden and his father were waiting. She whispered in my ear. "There's great deal to be said be- tween us, daughter" she confided. "So very much that fear the chance may go without it being said. This afternoon" she repeated as I kissed her good-by.
 Colonel Hayes handed me into my saddle and rode at my side whether the pace was walk or canter, explain ing the things he knew so we'll ano with which he had lived so long, He was proud of the farm, as well he might be, and I tried to think it was for that reason that he wanted to show it to me himself and not that he wanted his way against his father, and, secretly, 1 was pleased with the knowledge that he had not vet sue ceeded in having it.
