TURPENTlNE OPERATORS
 PLANNING SPRING RUN

Rockford, March 7.--(Special.)-rh turpentine operators of Coosa county are making preparations for the spring run, although. they are meeting discouragemeft at the low market of fered for their products and have on hand several hundred barrels of rosin and turpentine, aggregating total valuation of several thousand dollars, while the cost of production amounts to much more. Most of the products were produced at time when labor was enormously high and the market for the products exceptionally good.
 The distilleries are being reparedi thousands of new boxes are being cut; many new cups are being put in and, in fact, all essential preparations for the spring run are being made under tendent of the distilleries in this sec tion. The surrounding sections of the vast areas of long-leaf pine are lighted at night by the burning off of the turpentine orchards, which is being done, so as to preserve the tur- pentine trees from destructive fires of late spring, the trees having been raked around
 To such an extent has this county become a leading turpentine section that on one of the rural routes for 12 miles the carrier passes through tur> pentine orchards. Rockford is the cen- ter of the turpentine industry, in
 which many citizens are interested.
 The chief source of profit to the citi- zens of Rockford is that of the mer- chants, made through the large num-
 Der of negro employees, who are em- ployed in the industry.

 FROM THE PiCKENS JAIL

Carrollton, March f.AN. r. Perry, white man, who has been confined in the Pickens county jail the past month, made his escape from the prison some time Sunday night the discovery being made when the jailer went in to feed about z go oclock Monday morning.

war prices prevailing, and all my sal aries being applied toward the home and other necessary expenses, did not give me an opportunity to hoard and accumulate money abundantly. as stated in my husbands letter.
 My employment was not detriment to the home spirit and I eagerly looked forward to the time when my husbands income would be sufficient for our sup port.
 l gave up outside work to attend to my home duties, when we could have lived comfortably on my husbands s earnings. I was not employed at the time he deserted me. I did not own my home. comfortably furnished with nls money, as stated in his letter. All the money paid on the simple little homo. which was heavily mortgaged, was paid with my salaries. and not one dollar of his money is invested in the property. At the time he deserted me, my substantial bank balances he men toned totaled about $6. all in Birmins | ham.

 He cannot be blamed for not stating the cause of his flight. His weaknesses were the two capital TVS" Wine and Women of which the latter were prob ably the more deadly to him. He left on account of a girl, locally employed according to his own statement. This fact is generally known to his acquain- tances I do not place all the blame on him, as he was given encouragement to leave and remain away from his home by the girl. both before and after his abandonment. This is the reason of his flight to Nevada.

Famous Old Recipe for Cough Syrup
Easily and cheaply made at hOune, but 1t beats them all for
 quick rcsults.

Thousands of housewives have found that they can save two-thirds of the money usually spent flor cough prepara- tions, by using the well-knownsold recipe for making cough syrup at home. It is simple and cheap but it has no equal for prompt results It takes right hold of cough and gives immediate relief, usually stopping an ordinary cough in 24 hours or less.
 Get 215 ounces of Pinex from any druggist, pour it into a pint bottle and add plain granulated sugar syrup to make a full pint. If you prefer, use clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup. Either way, it tastes good. keeps perfectly, and lasts a family long time.
 It's truly astonishing how quickly it acts. penetrating through every air passage of the throat and lungs-loos- ems and raises the phlegm, soothes and heals the membranes, and gradually but surely the annoying throat stickle and dreaded cough disappear entirely. Nothing better for bronchitis, spasmodic croup. hoarseness or bronchial asthma.
 Pnex is a special and highly concen- trated compound of genuine Norway pine extract, known the world over for it's healing effect on the. membranes.
 Avoid disappointment by .asking your druggist -for'"2 F sounces ofTPinex" with full directions .andIdon' 'tAaccept anything else. Guaranteedi to give.absolute satis- faction or money promptly refunded. The Pinex Co., Ft. Wayne, Ind.

SELMA WOMAN KNEW
 SECRETARY DENBY WELL

Selma, March 7.-(Special )-When the newspapers recently printed the story of Edwin Denby's selection for the port folio of the Secretary of the Navy in President Harding's cabinet, there was one Selmian who had personal interest in the event.
 This was Mrs Ann McCord, mother of Mrs. J. B. Parke, prominent suffragist, one of the most remarkable and widely loved women of this city, whose talent for rem embering names led her to rec ognize the new secretary as the son or Charles Denby, who taught military tac- tics in the Masonic institute in this city back in lS55-56, at the time Mrs. McCerd was young lady. The institute was conducted in the building now occupied by Vaughan Memorial hospital. and 1t was the custom for young Major Denby to drill the cadets of the school on the green, then adjoining the Pettus home on Alabama avenue.
 After leaving Selma Charles Denby en- tered politics in his native state, Indiana, and was sent as minister to China in lSS5

ceremony in the Little Mound cemetery here today on what would have been his seventy birthday anniversary. The democratic leader was buried beside his father, John Hampton Clark, and two of his children. Champ and Annie who died in infancy
 There were no eulogies at the grave, and the expression frequently was heard that it was a democratic funeraP' in keeping with the stalwart statesman's love of simplicity.
 It was felt here that little in the way of oratory and eulogy could, be added to the tribute which had been paid to Clark's memory at the congressional services in Washington, and that Mrs Clark, wearied by the long railroad jour ney, would desire that the local exer- cises be as simple as possible.
 In line with this purpose there was no funeral sermon at the grave. The exercises, which consisted only of pray CTS, was conducted by the Rev. Robert A. Boyd, a nephew of Mrs. Clark and pastor of a Kansas City Presbyterian church. Prayers were also said by the Rev. Ray Charles Jarman and the Rev. George c. Hitchcock, both of Browling Green. In all the prayers were refer ences to Mir. Clarks righteousness, hon esty and force of character.
 As the special train travelled from St Louis to Bowling Green, persons along the route waved flags, and at Louis mana, Mo-, school children stood at the depot as it passed
 The courthouse rotunda, where the body lay in state several hours, was massed with floral offerings, some Of which were used at the funeral ceremo- nies in Washington and were sent on the special train under care of an ex- pert florist, Among the offerings were those from former President and Mrs. Wilson, President and Mrs. Harding ana from many United States senators and representatives and men prominent m na- tional and Missouri politics.
