''as we have not requested committee indorsements, nor are we seeking such. General Woods friends throughout the country are carving his candidacy to the masses of the republicans.
 The action of the various committees of this state. which are controlled by a small minority of the party, cannot by resolution deprive the republicans of this state from expressing a choice for the presidential nominee. Their action is un- tenable and ridiculous.
 Mir. Thompson declared that % per cent of the 22600 republicans who voted for Roosevelt in 1912, together with 9 per cent of the 9700 who voted for Taft, are for General Wood.
 The Wood leaders exhibit much elation over the announcement few days ago that Frank H. Hitchcock, who managed the campaigns of Roosevelt and Hughes had come out for General Wood. They were also greatly encouraged yesterday when they read dispatches that New Hampshire had instructed for their fav- orite.

 Pasteur Treatment

Several days ago in Bessemer. George yancs 1o-years-old, was drumming on the counter of store with his fingers while waiting for a clerk. In the store there was a large cat. It bounced on Georges hand and bit it.
 Jeff Creswell thought the irritable ac. ton of theecat rather peculiar. so he caught the cat, killed it and sent it's head to the Pasteur laboratory main tained by the county and city in the city hall.
 The head was analysed for rabies and proved positive. George was sent in for Treatment. @
 While Mir. Creswel was cutting off fhe cats head he cut his hand with the bloody knife, and now he, too, is under going the ant-rabies treatment.
 With the addition of these two the laboratory now has nine patients who are being treated to prevent the devel- oDment of rabies
