A friend one day asked me if had tried Dr. Swayne's Compound Syrup of wild Cherry. and advised me 10 do so at once, as he heard that it had wotked great many wonderful cures. took his advice, and after using up several bottles of il grew so much better that was enabled 10 leave my bed, and afterwards to walk about the house, and go out into the street. was encouraged by this, and continued the use of your medicine, and now, by II cans of it's wonderful curative powers, am perfectly well. and enjoy the use of all my faculties, just as much as if had never been afflicted in the way have described to you. 1 have written this not thinking that it will al all interest you, but humbly hoping that it may have it's mite of inhu- ence in causing your valuable medicine to be spread among mankind, and in assisting to raise you 10 that station which you rich ly deserve. for your perseyerlng efforts for The public good.

said; and said when our relations with
him preclnded the possibility of inter,
course with him. But cur prediction
has been verified. The Governor feels
as We believed he would feel, the res
possibility which rests upon him and
he prefers self-sacrfce TO the sacrifice
Of his party. His course IS truly hon
orable. For SO determining he deserves
the gratitude of the entire party. This
single act restores TO him the confidence
OF his party and entities him to their
warm considerations and support, should
he ever appear before the..i in less criii.
eel circumstances, as a candidate for
their favor. There is no denying that
Gov. Martin had a strong hold on the
affections OF large portion of the de-
mocracy. There is no doubt that be
could, under ordinary circumstances
command the support OF many wings.
Yet he has chosen to retire from strife
IN which his own success might have
been fatal TO the cause, which he has
proved that he loves better than him>
self.
The political importance of the step
which the Governor has taken, leads us
TO issue in an extra, the following letter.
which we have received at tho hands OF
the Governors private Secretary:
TO The People of Alabama.
In yielding to the numerous solicita-
tons from my Democratic friends. to
become a candidate for the office OF
Governor in 1916, | was Influenced
alone by a sense Of duty. | opposed
the only candidate then before The peo>
pie. upon the questions Of State policy
alune. The result of the election proved
that a large majority of the people were
with me. The recollection OF a promi.
men, incident OF that canvass will show
that never for one moment lost sight OF
my obligations 10 the Democratic party.
In The present canvass, distinguish
ed member of the Wing party is in the
field. Under the influence of strong
feelings, produced by an extraordinary
movement at the time and place at which
his name was first ANNOUNCED | deter
mined to .nsist upon well known US age
Of the party, as well as upon objections
to the manner in which my Democratic
opponent was brought out against me,
and run the race at all hazards. A more
calm and dispassionate conside aion.of
the principles by which | have hereto-
been governed, and q recollection Of the
honors conferred on me by the party TO
which have ever been attached, in.ln,
ces me TO walve all personal considera.
tons. and al once to withdraw my name
from the canvass.

Never have such silly attempts been

any one man, as have the present Mex

ma, against that long and faithful public
lie servant, REUBEN CHAPMAN. Every
attempt they make, We are glad
to see, is unfounded; and it would seem
that, the harder they rus him, like good
and true metal, the brighter he shines
Among the many charges the enemies
of the State prefer against him, is the
one that on a recent occasion, at some
place and at some time, and some whs
paper said that Mr. Chapman ackrow-
lodged that he voted to censure Genera
Taylor, and excused himself by saying
that Mr. Polk ought TO be blamed ant

In our yesterdays issue We express.
ed the opinion that Gov. Martin would
not persevere in The race for the Exccu
tive chair, now that the strong diversion
he is capable OF making fromihe regula,
democratic vote has rendered il posi-,
BILE that wing may become Chief Mag

for making this prediction, except our
knowledge that Gov Marin was too
