GlQdness Comes

With a better understanding OF the
wv transient nature Of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper ef-
forts-gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that SO many forms OF
sickness are not dine to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a cOnstipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
" removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions Of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. tits therefore
all important in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment Of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
nav be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but il in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
Esedand gives most general satisfaction

Of course, these figures are very
rough estimate, but it is not believed
that the figures would vary greatly one
way or the other.

SHOOTING TOURNAMENT. Hat. -N. Yesterdays Events at the Inter- state Association Match. NO NEW. RECORDS MADE A Strong Wind and Difficult Background Hin- dered the Marksmen-k and
 Personals.

The interstate association began its shooting tournament yesterday morning on the shooting grounds of the Birming- ham Gun club, near Woodlawn. The scores were not as good as might have been expected from the array of talent that participated, but this was mainly due to the strong wind and the difficult background.
 There were a number of spectators present and a few ladies. The presence of the ladies is appreciated by the club, and the marksmen hope that greater number will grace the occasion with their presence today.
 The programme was finished about 4 o'clock, after which extra shooting took place. A tent protected the crowd from the rain storm that occurred late in the afternoon.

VERMONT REPUBLICANS
Declare for Mckinley and Against Fr
 ~fG

Declare for Mckinley and Against Free
 Coinage of Silver.
 Montpelier, Vt., April 29-The repub- lican state convention dispatched it's business quickly today. A. W. Lord of Montpelier presided. The delegates at large are Hon. Redfeld Proctor, Dr. Henry D. Hilton of Brattleboro, Edward c. Smith of St. Albans and c. A. Proutn of Newport.
 A Mckinley resolution was greeted with tremendous applause. It was this:
 While we recognize the wisdom of the precedent which has heretofore sent our delegates to national conventions with out tying their hands with positive in structions, and would not break that precedent yet we feel we will be untrue representatives of those who send us here did we fail to give voice to their convictions; therefore be 1t
 Resolved, That in the great apostle of protection, William Mckinley of Ohio, we recognize the first choice of the re- publicans of Vermont for their presiden- tial candidate"
 This was adopted by accla ma tion and later on a motion to table it was adopted, the Mckinley men being satisfied with this expression of the sentiment of the convention.
 The OutDufSt or enthusiasm was all McKnley's way. The Reed men at tempted to have the convention look with favor toward the man from Maine, but 1t was plainly evident that the biggest majority of the delegates were lovers of Mckinley.
 The Reed men attempted to put reso- lution through expressing no preference, but the Ohio mans friends desired Yer mont to stand firm and carried the day with flying colors.
 The party leaders are surprised, but say nothing. It was intended to have the delegates go uninstructed, but with such a strong sentiment in favor of Me- Kinley it Is believed that no delegate will dare to stand for any other candi- date
 This is the financial plank:
 The republicans of Vermont are unal- terably opposed to any scheme to give the country a depreciated or debased currency. We are therefore opposed to the free coinage of silver except by in- ternational agreement. Until re-estab- lished we believe the present monetary standard should be honorably maintain ed. The continued agitation of the free coinage of silver retards the return of our confidence and prosperity and stands in the way of beneficial legislation and is in every way harmful to the best in terests of the whole country.

NATIONAL PRESIDENT A. P. A.
Paid Birmingham Visit Yesterday-Re Was
 En Route to '" 'nin o-i..--
Birmingham

Blrmlngham
 yesterday in
 Traynor is the international president of the world-famed A. P. As. Even the Alabama Press association, whose mem- bers attended the Chicago exposition re- member the little trouble incurred by wearing a badge bearing the insignia of this order.
 In Jefferson county circulars were wide ly distributed derogatory to local candi- dates by this organization. In fact, the A. F. As is no new organization herea- bouts. The president informed the writer that there Is a thrifty organizatio ton in this city, and when asked as to the number throughout the world he said it had not been computed, but that there were num- bers upon numbers.
 The president said that he was en route home via Birmingham within the next few days. His visit is to organize new associations.
 It is hardly probable that President Traynor will be greeted with q brass band and a torchlight procession on his return, and he was not taken by surprise when the general public was not aware of his presence last night. In fact, he is very well aware that while the A. r. A. s are well represented in Birmingham, they also have some very strong antagonists However, this is a free country, and Bir- mingham goes as far as any city in guar anteeing equal rights to all, irrespective of religious or lodge creed, political pre- affection or party utilization.

TENNESSEE PRoHIB1TIoNIsTs.

A Free Silver Resolution Marred the Har-
 mony of the Proceedings. X
 Nashville, April 29.-The state prohibit ton convention met here today about 125 strong. There was only one hitch in the harmony of the proceedings. Merritt of Marshall county wanted the platform to declare for free silver. After a fight he was voted down. The platform contains the single idea of prohibition.
 Joseph Hapgood, president of the Milli- gan college, was nominated for governor. Delegates were selected to the national convention at Pittsburg.

Monster Petitions Being Circulated

Pretoria, April 29.-Monster petitions are being signed here and Johannes burg asking the president to pardon the members of the reform union upon whom sentence was pronounced yester- day. The Boer jurors, before whom the condemned men would have been tried had they not pleaded guilty, have also signed a memorial asking that executive clemency be extended to the self-confess- ed reformers. All of the members of the reform union who are under sentence for high treason or less majeste are in jail, though at present they are granted cer- tain privileges

The Social Two will open the dancing season at East Lake tomorrow night with a pleasant soiree.
 A fishing party, comprising pr. W. M. Jordan and Messrs. W. M. and M. P. Walker. J. s. John and Ollie Miles, leave the city this afternoon for a camp out on the banks of the Warrior river.
 Shortly after noon yesterday the North side fire department was called to Fourth avenue and Thirteenth street to extin- guish a blaze in cottage occupied by 9 negro family. The department respondeC with their usual promptness, and sooA had the flames under control and before they did much damage.
 During the severe storm yesterday af- ternoon the fire alarm wires were crossed with telephone wires, and the big bell tapped a number of times.
 The elements turned loose yesterday af- ternoon, and tremendous rainfall, acr companied by lightning and thunder, was the result.

SENTENCE COMPUTED.
It Is Not Known Whss Punishment Will Be h. ficted Upon Hammond and the Other
 Reformers.

Pretoria. April 29.--Dr., w. J. Leyds, secretary of state of the South African republic, informed Sir James A. Dewet, British diplomatic agent, today that the death penalties imposed upon John Hays Hammond, Col. Cecil Rhodes and others of the Johannesburg reform union yes terday, had been remitted, but it had not yet been decided what form of punish ment would be substituted for that which had been abandoned. The execu- tive council, now in session, is consider ing all of the sentences imposed by the court yesterday. In passing judgment upon the prisoners the judge said it was his painful duty to impose the extreme penalty, but he hoped that the executive would exercise the same degree of elem ency towards the prisoners that he had shown at the beginning of the year.

The State Department Is Awake.

Washington. April 29.-Secretary Olney has been in telegraphic communication with the British foreign office today with regard to securing the most favorable treatment of Hammond by the Boer au- thorities. This line of action is made necessary by the fact that the United States has no diplomatic officer near the South African republic, it's only repre- sentatives being consular agent at Jo- hannesburg and vice consul at Cape Town.
 Consul Knapp wired that he would send further particulars of the communication of the death sentence, but did not do so for the reason undoubtedly, as shown in the dispatches from London, that the clemency granted was indefinite and did not indicate how far the communication went.

Grand Jury's Request Not Granted.

New Orleans, April 29.-When the crim- inal court opened this morning Judge Ferguson read long reply to the grand jury's request for subpoenas duces te- cum against the Western Union Tele- graph company and the chairman of the democratic state committees requiring them to produce all telegrams and corre- spondence relat ting to the recent guber- material election. The judge denied the request. The grand jury renewed the request today and it was again denied by Judge Ferguson.
