Had Chronic Case
 Of Catarrh
Bessemer Man Suffered For Eight Long Years. Now Says Herb Juice Gave Re- lief.

After suffering as I did for eight long years with stomach and nerve trouble, which was caused, think, from chronic case of catarrh, l am glad to say that l have at last found in your Herb Juice a medicine that will actually do all it is claimed to do and 1 am glad to recommend it to every one.'' Such was part of the surprising statement of Mr. w. B. Mckinney, well-known salesman living at 1917Hs Second Avenue, Bessemer, Ala, when he called to see tue Herb Juice man in Birmingham a few days ago.
 "Why, before used your Herb Juice," continued MT. Mckinney, T was in a terrible condition. As l said before, I had suffered with catarrh for eight long years. I was continually Spitting up the museus that would drop down my throat, which kept my stom- ach so upset that never felS like eat ing a thing. What little I did eat would not taste right and due to the digestive organs being in such weak ened condition the food would just lay in my stomach and sour, causing me to suffer continually from gas and bloat-' ing pains. In addition to this, was badly constipated, was always taking q laxative of some kind and was so nervous that I could not st day or night l tried all kinds of medicines without getting any relief and then one day it was my good luck to hear about Herb Juice and I want to say to you that as sick as I was this medicine helped me from the start. Why, be- fore had used the first bottle I had been relieved of the gas and bloating and could eat most anything without it hurting me the least bit. I con tinued using Herb Juice regularly every day and now I am thankful to say it has entirely relieved me of my old troubles, bowels and kidneys are regular with the result that my entire system has been cleansed of the ca- tarrhal poisons and ] feel like new man, nerves do not give me one bit of trouble and rest better at night than I have for years. In short, Herb Juice has simply done wonders for me and has proven so satisfactory in every way that I do not hesitate to recommend it to every one as honestly think it is the greatest medicine sold today"
 Mir. Mazda, of the Herb Juice Lab, OratOries, is now at EUGENE JA- GOES DRUG STORE, Birmingham, Ala, and will gladly tell you without any cost just what benefit you can ex- pect from Herb Juice.

CODY DENIES BANKS
 ARE VIOLATING LAW

MONTGOMERY, Ala, June 10.- Denial was made today by Michael Cody, president of the Union Bank and Trust company, that any Montgomery banks were violating the state law pro- hibiting the payment of a greater rate of interest than per cent on savings deposits.
 Mir. Cody said the Montgomery banks had conformed to the state law in all respects.
 A. E. Jackson, state superintendent of banks, issued a statement in which he said the banking department had in- formation that some of the banks were paying 4 per cent interest and granting a rebate of as much as 2 per cent in order to obtain time deposits. He an- nounced that those who did not quit the practice at once would be sum- moned. before the department, and if necessary the liquidation of institutions violating the order would be ordered.
 Appeal AbercrOmbie Case-An ap- peal to the supreme court today was announced by attorneys for George T. McElderry and w. H. Tayloe in the case involving the right of Dr. John w. Abercrombie, state superintendent of education to draw a salary as superin- tendent and salary as executive off cer of the state board 'Of education. Judge Leon McCord of the circuit court, had sustained demurrers of the defense which had the effect of dis missing the suit.
 The plaintiffs contend that the draw ing of the two salaries is in violation of the constitution, which prohibits the payment of more than one salary to a public official. Fhe defense contends that the supreme court had already held that additional compensation may be provided when additional duties are placed on officials and that when the board of education was created addi- tional duties were placed on the su- perintendent of education.

SHERIFF PLEADS HIS INNOCENCE Declares Impeachment Charges Preferred By
 His Enemies
(Jasper Bureau.)

(UASDoF buFOdust
 JASPER, Ala, June 1O.-Denial that he was guilty of the many charges preferred against him in grand jury indictment, was made here today in public statement issued by Sheriff Guy O'Rear. Although admitting that he may be guilty of technical violations, he declared, "I have not rnjustly taken one cent from anyone"
 He indicated that he would fight the impeachment charges when they come up for trial before the supreme court
 His statement reads:
 "I am taking this method of inform ing the citizens of Walker county and my friends that I am not guilty of the charges that have been preferred against me by the grand jury, and for which I have been indicted, as you all know"
 Only One Side
 "The grand jury only hears one side of any question, and a very large per cent of the witnesses, possibly 9S per cent. that have appeared before the grand jury were men who had been ar rested by me, or my deputies. In very few instances is man friendly with the arresting officer, even if the party who is arrested pleads guilty. He or she nearly always resists the fact that they were brought into the court, and when an opportunity presents itself Tn a case of this kind, they will sometimes enlarge on facts in order to make 1t appear they were mistreated. At least, in fairness to myself, will ask my friends not to form an opinion until they have learned the truth.
 Tt may be true that l am guilty of A few small technical or irregular charges, but if so, they were caused from difference of opinion with refer ence to what the law really is. You all know by visiting the courts that the lawyers themselves differ in most all cases as to just what really is, and what is not the law.
 "I want to state publicly to my friends, and the whole people of this state and county, that have not un- justly taken one cent from anyone.
 "I have not intentionally mistreated anyone, and do not intend to do so in the future, be friend or foe. l do think it unfair, unjust and unheard of to accuse me of these small, frivOlus and insignificant charges, when if l had been as crooked and as unfair as my enemies would have you believe, l probably could have gotten as much as $2,000 or $3,0O0 per month from cer- tain parties for whisky privileges alone.
 T have not used whisky in any way since being your sheriff. Neither have I allowed or permitted any one to use or carry away any whisky from my of flee or in my possession, except for the purpose of being destroyed.
 My books were examined by two state examiners about September, 1923, while Newburne Appling was chief deputy sheriff, and no error was found, or at least, I have not heard of any to date. The examiners that are here at present were requested by me to make an examination of my books, but stated that they were not here for that purpose"
