Little Stories About
 Visitors to Birmingham
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

tives of the Alabama legislature, and now a member of the state senate, was visitor to Birmingham yesterday. There are few men better known in Alabama than MT Carmichael, and few whose ability has gained more signal recos- milton.
 During the session of the legislature over which he presided as speaker, there was considerable friction between the forces of Governor Henderson, in mi nority, and the forces of the prohibition leader. Mir Carmichael, a member Of the latter had great opportunity to play politics. But as a presiding officer, he was uniformly impartial-just as Champ Clark proved to be in the national House of Representatives. As result. MT. Car michael was rewarded with the frleno- ship and admiration of those who aid not adhere to the political paternosters which he indorsed and espoused.
 Mir Carmichael has frequently been mentioned as a candidate of the future for Congress or the office or governor; , T; :; In race for either position, he "ouiu display great strength.

For many years, he fought the battles or other candidates, and won with them or lost with them without suffering a dls- turbed mental equilibrium.

 I've were very much elated some oays ago" he said, ito read in The Age Herald that the government would re- tain Camp Mcclellan as a permanent institution. There is report mat the barracks, to cost s4.ooo,0Oo, which were begun and temporarily abandoned on the signing of the armistice, will be com pleted with brick substituted for the wood which was originally contemplated. This would be a natural procedure Tn view of the permanent nature Of the camp.
 politically, Anniston is well satis1ed. Our Congressman, Fred Blackmon, has taken an unusually high rank in Wash- ington, and our governor, Thomas E. Kilby. is making good with a rush, through and through"

I began to think there was nothing on earth that would kill my corn, when I finally read about the re- markable results obtained by foot suf- ferers from the use of Ice-Mint I decid- ed to try it for myself and before l hard ly realized it my corn came out--root and all--and without causing the least pain or, soreness. Believe me, it seems mighty good not to be afraid some one is going to hit my pet corn--and the relief-well that just seems like Paradise"

It draws the inflammation out of swollen, tired or burning feet and joosens hard or soft cornS so they can easily be lifted out with the fingers root and all: besides it imparts such a delightful, cooling, soothing sensation that you will just sigh with relief It is selling like Wild Fire here. Try it. Ice-Mint and give your poor, suffering, tired, aching feet the treat of their lives,

"Yes, sir" Mir. Coats says, you can say to the people in this section that consider Ferralne the finest Tonic that has ever been placed on the market, for there is no doubt but that l owe my life to this wonderful compound.
 1T had the very worst form of Indi- gestion and Catarrh of the Stomach for five years, could not digest anything, and had passed mucous lining of the stomach, had hemorrhages frequently, and had given up all hopes of ever get ting any better.
 Thanks to this wonderful Tonic, Fer raline; after taking only six doses. I could tell it was the thing for me, as it had a soothing effect on my stomach, and before I had used the first bottle people began to ask me what I had done for myself, and I hope the manufactur- CTS of Ferraline will not stop until they have placed this Wonderful Tonic In every village and town in the United States, for I know that Ferraline will do a great deal more good than the company claims it will do, because they did not claim it would cure me-only claimed it would help me.
