Bessemer, March 1.--(Special)- )-Capt- Lacey Edmundson announced We'd nesday morning that he would be a candidate for the board of revenue, and his name was placed on the ticket to be voted on at the unofficial pri- mary, which will be held in the Bes- semer cutoff Saturday. After having definitely decided that he would not enter the race, a large delegation of Captain Edmundson's friends called upon him Wednesday morning and made the request so urgent that he consented to become a candidate for member of the board of revenue.
 In view of the announcement of Cap tain Edmundson as a candidate for member of the board of revenue, F. D. Hyehe, who had announced his candi- dacy some time ago, withdrew We'd resday afternoon in his favor.
 Mir. Hyche makes the following state ment: T wish to announce to the pub lie that I am no longer candidate for the board of revenue. I also want to thank my many friends for their support and assure them that I appre- ciate their loyalty. but sincs Captain has announced I feel that I do not care to oppose the leader of Company D, and withdraw in their honor I feel that Bessemer will a1- ways be proud of the record her boys made in France and take this oppor- tunity to show my appreciation. I re- quest my friends to stand by Captain and if they see their way clear, give him their support, so that Bessemer may make as good showing on the political field as on the field of battle''

 And this is an excellent time to get rational results from the right sort of treatment for this painful ailment. Just now the system is ready to throw off the impurities that have been accumulating throughout the winter season, and nature is ready to help in the eliminating process that is so essential in preparing the system for the changing seasons.

G|NGER ALE PLANT
 NEWLY EQUIPPED
$30,0OO Spent in Improving Facilities for Making
 Buffalo Rock"

Thirty thousand dollars worth of new machinery installed during the last two months in the Buffalo Rock' plant of the Alabama Grocery Company has equipped the plant with the most modern facilities for bottiing Buffalo Rock ginger ale on a quantity scale.
 With a capacity during the summ CT months of from 1000 to 2,500 cases, or 4S,000 to 50,O00 bottles of ginger ale daily, the company has put in improved appliances which will insure the ab- solute purity of the product as well as the utmost efficiency in manufacture.
 A complete low pressure bottling out fit, described as "the last word in bot ting" has been installed. An inn portant unit is an electrical water sterilizing apparatus through which every drop of water used in the manu- facture of the ginger ale passes and is purified. An ice machine keeps the water at the proper temperature, around 36 to 40 degrees.
 The latest type of "soaker" has been installed, in which all bottle sare sub merged four times in caustc solution, and then brushed and rinsed seven times In this machine the bottles are sterilized, and then rinsed in pure fill tered water When the bottles leave this machine they arc guaranteed to be as clean as the glasses on anyone's dining room table
 After the bottles leave the soaker they are syruped and filled with car bonated water automatically, after which they go to the crowning ma chine, the inspection table and the la beling machine. and thence to the store room With this system, it is de- clared. it is physical impossibilty for

COAX FEM Stop Whipping Bowels into Activity, but take "Cascarets'


 Put aSide the Salts, Pills, Castor On. or Purgative Waters that irritate and lash the bowels into action but which do not thoroughly cleanse. freshen and purify these drainage organs, and have no effect whatever upon the liver and stomach.
 Keep your "insides' pure and fresh with Cascarets, which thoroughly cleanse the stomach, remove the un- digested, sour food and foul gases. take the excess bile from the liver and carry out of the system all the con- stipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels which are keeping you half sick, headachy and miserable.
 Cascarets tonight will make you feel great by morning. They work while you sleep-never gripe, sicken or cause Q inconvenience, Cascarets cost so little, too.
