Although Capt. Lacey Edmundson chairman of the new board of revenue, was informed Monday night by dele gation of Bessemer citizens that John Golden, named by the board Saturday to succeed Joe Pickens as chief clerk of the Bessemer revenue office, Will de- cline the appointment, MT. Golden later, in statement to The Age-Herald, posi- lively denied that he would refuse the office.
 q have not even intimated that l would refuse the position" he said.
 The delegation petitioned Captain Edmundson that, in the event the posi- ton was reopened, MT. Pickens would be appointed to succeed himself in the office he has held for the past eight years.
 Captain Edmundson said the board will fill the position officially at it's meeting at 10 80 o'clock Tuesday morn ing. Members of Mondays delegation will appear at the meeting to intercede in Mir. Pickens' behalf, it was said.
 Details of organization omitted at last Saturdays meeting are expected to take up a considerable part of the time, and an effort is to be made to clear up unfinished business left by the old board at the board meeting Tuesday.
 It is probable that action will be taken in regard to issuance of bonds for the new courthouse, the Hillman hospital and the county schools, which were pass ed at the last election.

COLDS THAT DEVELOP INTO
 ? NEU MONI IA

Chronic coughs and persistent colds lead to serious lung trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion Is a new medical discovery with twofold action; it soothes and heals the unframed membranes and kills the germ.
 Of all known drugs, creosote is rec ognized by the medical fraternity as the greatest healing agency for the treat ment of chronic coughs and colds and other forms of throat and lung troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the inflamed mem branes and stop the irritation and in- flammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, Is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and destroys the germs that lead to consumption.
 Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac- tory in the treatment of chronic coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, catarrhal bronchitis and other forms of throat and lung diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or the flu. Money refunded if any cough or cold, no matter of how long stand ing, is not relieved after taking accord ing to directions. Ask your druggist. Creomulsion Co.,. Atlanta. Ga. (Adv)

Indictments in connection with the mailing of anonymous death threats to officers of the city health department during the recent fight with a group of raw milk dairymen over the so-called "stabilization' ordinance will be sought before the federal grand jury in Janu- ary, it was learned Monday.
 Reports in some quarters that the move for indictments had been abandon ed was emphatically denied by health officials. Names of the writers of the letters, some of which threatened Dr. J. D. Bowling, health officer, and l.. c. Bulmer, chief of the food and dairy division, with death unless they withdrew their opposition to the ord. finance sponsored by the dairy group, are known to the authorities, it was said.

Interesting Features Arranged
 By Bar Association

 'The gathering is not for the purpose of discussing the dry morsels of the law" MT. Garber said. "On the other hand it is to discourse upon the choicest bits of the fatted calf and those other delicacies which royalty are permitted to enjoy in a land dominated by our brother Volstead.
 "The entertainment will partake of London and Paris, in addition to ou1 own New York. This feature is being entrusted to the care of our younger members"

Will Address Kiwanis Club And Birmingham
 Banking Chapter

Dean Stephen I. Miller, nationa. ed ucational director of the Ar erican In. stitute of Banking, will be the : uest of the Birmingham chapter on Tues day. He is visiting the leading cities where chapters are located and will ad. dress the Birmingham Kiwanis club at its weekly luncheon.

 Education in the American Institute of Banking differs from college educa- tion in two important respects; First the students are enrolled upon their own initiative; second, the subjects studied in the classroom are adapted to the daily duties of the bank employe
 The institute has graduated 6,00C students during the last twenty years and thescertificate of graduation repre- sents four years of intensive training Hundreds of bank presidents, vice pres idents, and cashiers attribute their sue cess to institute courses.

made by Harry B. Wheelock, and while these are expected to form the basis for the new building, they will have to be revised and inspected carefully.
 One of the policies of the new board, according to D. G. Reed, a member, is to be rigid economy. The new court house bonds as well as those for the hospital and county schools must be retired out for the regular county in come, and to do this all county expen- ditures are to be watched closely. One of the money-saving devices which the new board expects to use will be the construction of roads by county employees instead of by contractors, the system used by the old board.

A. AND V. SALE
 BELIEVED BASIS
 FOR EXPANSIONS
Purchase Terminates 4a Years On Continuous
 Ownership

The Alabama and vicksburg railroad a section of the "Queen and Crescent Route" part of the Southern railway system, has been released by its Eng fish owners and purchased by New Or. leans and New York capitalists. Along with that line the same group pur- chased the Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific, operating from Shreveport to Vi6ksburg.
 For more than 43 years the two lines have been owned by Sperling and com pany of London, the same interests who helped finance the Alabama Power company and later the New Orleans street railway. The lines have 329 miles of trackage and form the chief link of the Queen Crescent route Southern railVf) from Cincinnati to the western gateways.S It is understood that the price was around $7,500,000
 The English house, by this sale, re. linquishes the last of it's American rail road securities. Several years ago the same interests owned the Alabama Great Southern extending from Meri. dian to Chattanooga. In 1916 the London honse sold the New Orleans and Northeastern, reaching from Meri. dian to New Orleans, to the Southern Railway company. It is believed from the announcement of the sale of the Alabama and Vicksburg, that the Lon. don bankers at one time owned the crack Southern line reaching from Chattanooga to New Orleans and form. ing what has been picturesquely termed the Queen and Crescent Route"
 In Birmingham there is considerable elation over the fact that the old line has been returned to American owners for on many occasions, it was recalled postponements of forward steps was accasioned on account of delays in Lon. don. It is believed the management of the line will remain the same and that improvements will be made with greater savings of time that would be the case had the properties been retained by the former owners.

Crop Report For June

Oats seeding in Ohio this spring
last year and the acreage to be cut
for hay will be about the same, ac-
cordine to Statistician West of the
State Federal Crop Reporting Ser
vice. Wheat condition has lmprov-
ed slightly during the past month.
Something like 80 percent of nor
NAL apple crop is apparent from
present conditions and about IS per-
cent of a peach crop or less. Corn
planting is more than a month be-
hind the usual planting time and it
is uncertain at the present time
whether anything like all the in
tended acreage can be planted.
Oats acreage compiled from Field
Aids reports is 101 percent OF last
wear. The condition of oats is esti-
mated at S5 which is exactly the
ten year average.
Hay acreage when compiled from
/ l6iu TGpOlIS 10 Jo pSlI " Ae'0'
year with clover acreage 95 percent.
The alfalfa acreage is estimated at
9S percent of year ago Hay con-
dition is 20 percent above last year
at this time. These estimates on
hay acreage are necessarily subject
to material changes as the cutting
season is not yet at hand.
Ohio wheat showed a slight i'm
provement in condition during the
past month.
The United States crop, Judging
from conditions on June l, will be

Writes From Idaho

Editor Democrat Thinking per-
haps some readers of the Democrat
might be interested in few particu-
! lars concerning Idaho, l will proceed
to narrate my small store of knowI-
edge
Idaho is noted for its scenery, eli
mate and cloudless days. If you wish
i to gain a true conception of spring,
you must first migrate to a land
where irrigation is wholly employed.
/ The spring this year is unusual in
that the snowfall, also rainfall, has
been scanty in proportion to other
years Hence the unwelcome propo-
sitiOn Of wading through a com
pound mixture Of earth and water is
almost unknown, Oyershoes are
rarely required. One uncertain
thing is the weather. The day may
dawn bright and warm and by noon
the snow will be thickly falling.
Considering ALL the most disagree
dple elelIeHt Will WHICH We nave 70
contend, is the wind The morn
ings are generally quiet, but early
in the afternoon the wind arises and
by evening is blowing a gale Al
though the days may be quite warm,
the nights are always cool Being
of a rather high altitude, the air is
much lighter and very invigoratins.
The winters are more severe than in
Ohio, but being drv atmosphere
the cold is not so noticeable. Ice
