BRANDON PUSHES
 FOR UNDERWOOD.
Governor Says It Is Time For
 South To Fill White

LOTHIAN, Ala, March S.--lSpecial) Before a crowd that packed to over flowing the court room here today, Gov. "BilP' Brandon delivered one of his characteristic speeches in the interest of the candidacy of Oscar W. Under wood for president. 4
 Governor Brandon characterized his speech as trial of fitness and charac- ter of the three candidates for this great position on the Alabama ballot and called upon his hearers to sit as . jury and award the verdict upon the evidence submitted. Summing up the political record of Alabama's senior senator, he asked special consideration of the fact that while others have failed in the thirty years of arduous service, not a blemish has been cast on Oscar W. Underwood's good name"
 Continuing in this simile, he called to the witness stand men who have be- come beloved for their service in the cause of prohibition to bear witness in behalf of MT. Underwood'ss fitness for this high position. s, w As.s .sss
 Reviewing the record of each, he named the testimony of Dr.. W. B. Crumpton, who has given the past years of his life to prohibition Archie Car michael, who has fought the fight in the legislative halls of the state; Dr. H. H. McNeil, beloved pastor; and Gov. B. B. Conner, whom he stated '.iost the nomination to succeed himself as. goyer- nor in the cause of prohibition"
 eff these we'll known leaders of pro- hibition are satisfied with the safe ness of Underwood in the cause of pro- hibition and are willing to trust their cherished cause in his hands, what then, can you voters have iess?" Governor Brandon challenged in no uncertain manner.
 'sThis talk that the south cannot produce president is all twaddle," he stated. 'When you look down through the pages of immortal history and see there the works of southerners, such at Patrick Henry, Jefferson, Madison, Marshall, Andrew Jackson, Bankhead and many others who have all served honorably and well without stain upon their names and without a dissenting vote as to their fitness for the honor able position, they have earned in the pages of the nations history, why then should not the south give to the na- tion man who has endeared himself to every section of our land, through thirty years of honest and honorable service to this country and to his party as the logical democrat to lead them to victory next November when the na- &iou selects her chief executive"

JASPER, Ala, March S.-The pur- chase of 500, 900 acres of coal and iron ore land located in Walker, Winston and Jefferson counties which was aii- nounced by L. B.. Musgrove in Bir- mingham last Saturday caused no sur prise in Jasper. It was known here that Mir. Musgroye and associates had been at work on the proposition for two years.
 It is understood that MT. Musgrove has not sold surplus of his holdings, however. The transfer of 500 900 acres of mineral land surrounding Jasper to a $20yO00,000 company which an- nounced that it is preparing to begin developing it immediately, has attract ed nationwide attention and few people can comprehend what it means to Jas per and this section, especially as Jas per will be the distribution headquar- ters of the company.
 An office building is to be erected here at an early date, it is said, for use of engineers, to be put into the field immediately. The property purchased contains the largest and best deposites of bunker coal in America, or, the world, perhaps, Which will be developed as soon as possible. N

A build ing boom is going over Walker county. New homes are in course of construc- tiOn at Cordova, Dora, Carbon Hill, 0akman, Nauvoo and every other inn portant point in the county. New mines are being opened at Dora, Cor d0va, Calumet, Nauvoo, Hillard, Car bon Hill, Corona and other points in the county. Preparations are being made to reopen mines in different sec- tions of the county.

A modern lighting system, the Citizens Water Light and Power company, of Carbon Hill, is ex- tending it's lines to Kansas. A Kiwanis club will be organized there Tn the near future.
 Ball Team Is Busy--C9ach Jackson is working his Viking baseball squad daily although in collection of rocks and "a soft wet athletic field the team is handicapped, but it is hoped the field will be put in shape in the near future. Prospects are even brighter than the 1922 and 1923 team and it is believed Walker high will put out team that Jasper will be proud of.

I was plain girl, but made myself a famous beauty. I have reached a grandmother's age, but keep my youthful looks. Countless young girls envy my hair and my complexion.
 No ordinary beauty helps ever did. or ever will, bring such results to women. I searched the world for the best helps in existence. I spent fortune to ob- tain them. To them owe all that beauty and perennial youth have meant in my career.
 Now I have placed those identical helps at your call. To girls they mean multiplied beauty, to women continued youth. I urge you to let them bring to you what they brought to me.
 The Great Mistakes
 Millions of women seeking beauty and youth use unscientific helps. Now l bring you the best helps in existence.
 Clay is beauty essential. No girl can look her best without it, no woman keep her youth. But not the crude and muddy clays so many still employ. A super-clay has been perfected by 20 years of scientific study. It is- white. refined and dainty. It is ten times more effective than the ordinary clays.
 I call this my White Youth Clay. Many women, with one use, seem to drop ten years. It brings q rosy. clear complexion. It removes the causes of blackheads and hlemishes. It firms the skin, combats all lines and wrinkles. My White Youth Clay will amaze and delight you. I urge you to see what it does. The cost is 30 cents and $1.
