DRIVE FOR BETTER HEALTH TO OPEN
 IN BIRMINGHAM
The Herb Juice Man, Famous Health Teacher,
 Coming

Private Secretary J. E. Mazda ar-I rived yesterday preparing for theI widely heralded visit to Birmingham of The Herb Juice Man. Mir. Magdal states that the Herb Juice Mans coming visit was decided on at tnsI last minute and was directly brought about by the special health reports from this section submitted to him by citizens and friends in Birming-
 ham. In discussing the campaign for better health that is to be put on in' this city, MT. Mazda states that a1- ready many have inquired as to what method of remedy the Herb JuiceI Man has for the people in order that they may obtain better health. HisI reply to such inquiries is that all medical and scientific discussion,j are to be made by the Herb JufceI Man, as he is here merely to preparel and complete arrangements for hisl coming. -'5-s 4s7T.5
 Mr. Mazda states. however. that the Herb Juice Mans preparation was an herbal product-Herb Ju..<
 being the liquid properties of plants discovered by celebrated scientist His theory Is that drugs and chemi-I calls should be done away with
 whenever possible and the healing juices of natures herbs should bel used to effect the same results in al harmless, mild manner. Nature has provided for us a remedy and wel cannot afford to pass unnoticed the
 warning she gives us. Good diges-, tion means good health; bad diges-I tion means bad health. A sound
 stomach is worth a hundred times it's
 weight in gold. Probably 80 per cent of all diseases originate in the di- l gestiye organs. Dyspepsia, Or what
 is more commonly known as indi- II gestion, is not only one of the most prevalent, but is one of the most diff ficult to treat of all present day diseases and has for years baff1ed. the skill of leading specialists every
 where. It is said that Herb Juice quickly relieves stomach and diges- tive organs ,and assists in the perl feet assimilation of food, therenyj aiding the manufacture of sure rich blood and eliminating impurities from the general system. It Is un.l derstood through Mir. Mazda that ar
 engagements are now being made irl Birmingham for Herb Juice agency following the custom of having onei agent in each city and the public will be advised through the press as toi whom the agency is awarded.-Advj

DAVIS SEEKS TRIAL 0F WARDEN EVANS
Solicitor Wants Banner Mine Case Set For This
 Week

J. D. Evans, former warden of the Banner coal mines, who is under indictment for severe punishments, which led to mutiny at the mines September 10. will be placed on trial in circuit court before the end of the month, it was learned at the court house Saturday.
 County Solicitor James G. Davis said he would have a definite da .e set for, the trial this week. Many witnesses will testify for the state and much sensational testimony is being accumulated.
 "I want to get this case up without further delay and try Evans" the solicitor said. T will personally conduct the prosecution, with the assistance of the other members of the staff"
 It is the states contention that in- human methods employed at the outbreak at Banner, in which scores of convicts refused to work longer under Evans supervision, and wrecked considerable mining ma chinery by exploding dynamite. Thorough Investigations
 A thorough investigation by the Jefferson county grand jury, which Solicitor Davis launched over the protest of Gov. w. w. Brandon, re- suited in the indictment of Evans some three weeks after the out break. The jury visited the mines and obtained first-hand information about the handling of convicts un- der Evans direction.
 Witnesses examined by the grand jury testified that Evans gave some of the convicts 30 severe lashes, causing several to be confined in the hospital for many days.
 Screams of the convicts could be heard far distant from the whipping post, these witnesses testified.
 Much evidence was adduced before the grand jury that has carefully been kept secret by the solicitors 8 office, and its introduction at the open trial promises to produce a statewide sensation, in the view Of officials.
 Counsel for Evans will plead mot guilty" and will set up the defense that he acted within the law and in accordance with instructions from state authorities serving under Gov ernor Brandon.
 The state will seek to show that his acts ere not only illegal but brutal and inhuman.

 Completes Reforestation.
 "A complete reforestation will yield unbelievable returns to the owner. From an original stand of 5000 seedlings per acre (of one variety of tree which is adapted to most southern coLditions) the slash | pine," at ten years there should be an average stand of something like 1000 trees surviving. At this time cord or pulp, wood will be cut. thin ming the stand down, to 1.2oO or 1.500 per acre. This cut should yield something like five to eight cords, and make the growing conditions better.
 At twenty years old 1t is possible to take out 150 or more railroad cross ties, still making room for the remaining timber. Leave at this time between 100 and 25O trees for timber saving at 30 years or later. With these cuttings in mind, remem- Der that to replace that timber taken out, are. new seedlings. The sys- tenn Is self-perpetuating, for it in cludes the leaving of seed trees, which will reseed the land. provided stock and fire protection is afforded.
 There are several varieties of tim Der which may prove adapted to southern conditions. Variations of this system may be practiced. The prime matter is to have some res grounds of our minds. Get legisla- ton, get government aid, get local and individual help-but see that a program is undertaken.

It is our desire to coop crate With any existing group wish ing to encourage planting or forests in order to prove the need and show the feasibility of the project,
 Already the Illinois Central sys- tenn has established cross-tie grow ing plots. Now seeing the vital need of more forest lands, ways and means are being worked out to provide for seeding. fire protection and livestock fencing in cooperation with indi- vidual land owners.
 Although the past has been prodi. gal with the south's timber supply, il is time to profit from the lesson France taught us and plant for our children as well as for ourselves, and for the good of the south"

Agricultural Tenancy in the South :

Elements, he sees to it that the ten
ant signs papers which practically
reduces him to slavery The tenant
binds himself out for a season for
bread and clothes for himself and
family. And if by chance the bread
winner is taken away by malaria, ty-
phoid, tuberculosis, or some other
killing disease, the widow m her ex-
IRENE is often reduced to the pillow
and must sign away her prospect just
as her husband did before.
The landlords, or creditors, are the
great and conspiring enemies of the
small farmers and tenants. In their
effort to accumulate more and more
land, they resort to the lowest methods
of exploitation, methods which dis
close their high-handed hypocrisy.
The charges for advances to tenants
are exhorbitant. The accounts are
often padded The landlords will not
render itemized accounts; there is
many an entry made in daybooks and
ledgers that only the experienced
landlord can explain to the hard
pressed renter" Besides, the tenant
does not enjoy freedom of sale and
does not enjoy the market price for
his share when the landlord takes it
over for advances. Finally, very often
it is impossible for tenants to get a
settlement
The lack of freedom of sale is due
to several causes. First, the landlord
runs" the neighborhood store where
the tenant trades. Second; it is the

there are thousands upon thousands
of men who do not own an inch of
the land they toll; that in many cases
their fathers did not own the farms
upon which they were r. ..red; and, if
things continue the way they are,
their own children are predestined to
toll upon other peoples land-land-
less farmers into the fourth genera
ton.
The cotton grower of the south is
not a farmer. He thinks he is; but
this is mainly a delusion. He is a
tenant, and a tenant is a laborer who
has sold his heritage for the doubtful
privilege of being run" by the land
lord, AS a renter, the tenant owns
at least his own work stock and farm
implements; but as cropper, he
owns little or nothing but the simple
things in and around his cabin. Usual
ly he owns no work stock and no farm
implements.
In either case, whether the tenant
is a renter or a cropper, he does not
own the soil he tills; he does not
work for himself; he does not own the
house" that shelters him. He does
not raise sufficient food for his fam
lily; he has no pride in his home; he
is constantly on the move from farm
to farm seeking to better his condi-
ton; he has no pride in the fruits
of the earth, no self-sufficiency, no in
dependence. He is kept man. He
is propertiless, homeless migrant.
The growth of landlordism has been
