BANGOR.
Candidate Clarke Could " OF Stand the Song
and Flew to Birmingham.

Bangor April Especial )-Hon. r.
H. Clarke spoke here day before yester-
day to an audience of about 100 people
A committee of citizens requested him to
divide time with Prof. John NJ, Davis of.
Columbian college, but he declined, say
ing he was unwilling to hold joint dis
cusSion with anyone except Captain
Johnston. He spoke about two hours
and a half. He began by saying that he
stood upon principle. He denounced free
coinage as a dangerous experiment
Most of my hearers, | suppose" said he,
"are farmers. Now If some one should
tell you to plant your corn as thick in
the drill as you do cotton; that the farm
ers in other counties were planting in
that way ecessfully-that they were
doing that way in Georgia-would you
obey him without an investigation? Any
reasonable farmer would first write to
Georgia and find out exactly the facts
and the results. That is all I ask you
to do regarding this silver question" He
then referred to the evil results of BIZ
metallism in free coinage countries, and
dwelt especially on the unhappy condi-
ton of the people in Mexico, Japan and
other free coinage nations At the close
of his speech the crowd called for Pro-
lessor Davis, who came forward and re-
quested the Columbian college choir to
sing to the tune of "Old Time Religion
a song that he had written for the occa-
sion. He pleasantly requested Colonel
Clarke to remain and listen to the song.
There was no escape for the colonel, and
the choir brought the house down with
the ringing notes of THE Old Silver Dol
lar" 1t was too much for the colonel
and he fled to the Clarke club of Bir-
mingham for consolation. The song was
cheered until the house shook. Professor
Davis then read from the Bible, the con-
sttution of the United States and the
constitution of Alabama to prove that
silver money was constitutional and the
honest money of the people in all ages
He read extracts from the speeches of
Alabama congressman and senators to
prove that free coinage was democratic.
He took up every southern state, one by
one, and showed that their senators were
almost unanimous for silver When he
reached John T. Morgan he described
him as the greatest living southron our
Henry of Navarro, the white-plumed
knight of Alabama. Every man in the
house on both sides cheered loudly
"Now how happens it," said he, that
this blue-eyed boy of destiny knows
more and loves true democracy better
than all these great men who have made
the history and achieved the glory of the
old democratic party? On what meat has
this little Caesar fed that he has grown
50 great? Is he smarter than Morgan,
smarter than Jackson, smarter than JEFF
ferson, smarter than the fathers of the
constitution, smarter than Abraham and
the prophets smarter than the Bible and
smarter than God Almighty"
He refuted all of Colonel Clarke's ar
guments. and the audience demonstrated
their approval of his sentiments by loud
cheers.
Blount county is almost unanimous for
Johnston.

the Clarke club they invited the john
ston club to have speaker here TO di-
vide time with Mr.. Clarke. which invita-
tion was promptly accepted. The Clarke
people little DREAMED that the only Jesse
Stallings was In Alabama, and as soon
as 1t leaked out that Jess would be here
to meet Mr.. Clarke the Clarke people
claim that their man will notsdivide time
with Jess, and with no other person ex-
cept Captain Johnston. It is safe to say
that Clarke knew it would be impossible
for the. Brewton Johnston club to get
Captain Johnston here, and he only want
ed an excuse to keep out of Jesse Stall
fng's way He knows that Jesse Stall
ings will make a monkey out of him in
joint debate.
About thirty names have been added
to the Johnston club in the last ten days.
After Dick Clarke's speech tonight we
hope to add as many more.

ing Of seventeen men last Sunday, and
out of the seventeen he took the names of

They Have Had the Filling Knocked Out
of Them.

Tney Have Had the f1l1ng knocked Oub
of Them.
Dadeville, April ESPECIAL -The
Clarke men have had the filing kicked
out of them over this way. They loaded
their gun to kill Johnston men, but the
thing went off and did more damage in
the rear than in the front. They under
took to prove that Johnstonism and free
silverism led to populiteism, and referred
us to the vote in congress to prove 1t.
The senate, with only a small democrat
lie majority, did vote for silver at 16 to l.
and the house, with a large republican
majority, voted largely for the gold
standard, thereby proving conclusively
that the gold standard and C1arkeism is
a mild type of republicanism, as shown
by the late vote in congress ON that sub
Ject.
The people in the hills are opening their
eyes and will vote for Mr.. Johnston be-
cause of his ability, loyalty and because
his financial views are in accord with
the working classes.
The Advertisers correspondent at this
place minated that the Johnston men
were trying to get the populists to vote
in the primaries, when they would not
vote the democratic ticket in August
We have heard the populists and Clarke
forces would fuse in a certain beat in
Tallapoosa county, but have not heard
of a man in Notwithstanding TO be for
Johnston who had made any proposition
of the kind stated, and suppose he was
trying to clear the Clarke forces, The
Advertisers correspondent was once a
steward in the Methodist church, but
since his connection with the Advertiser
they say he doesn't. go to preaching
much. 1t Is surprising that a Methodist
who believes in falling from grace would
tackle the Advertiser. 1t may do for
one who can't be deceived off.

Johnston Speaks to a Large Audience of
Interested Hearers.


Interested Hearers
Biocton, April S.-(Speeial.)-Cap Jo-
seph F. Johnston spoke here last night
to large audience of voters. He was in
troduced by Mr.. Meadows and spoke for
about two hours to one of the most at
tentive audiences that ever greeted a
public speaker. The verdict of the crowd
was that It was a vote-winning speech,
both for Johnston and the democratic
party. This place is the stronghold of
the Clarke men in Bibb county and Is
said to be a close beat. but Captain
Johnston's friends In Bibb say that the
county convention will stand more than
to for Johnston, even should Blocton
beat go for Clarke. The Advertiser corre-
spondent at this place expressed hfmseH
to Captain Johnston as being quite well
pleased with the speech. In a number of
precincts in Bibb county there is not a
single Clarke supporter. and II Is conf
IDENTIFY claimed that with johnston at
the head of the state ticket Bibb Will re-
sumo her place In the democratic column

SUFFERED FOR YEARS.
Almost Constant Pain the Portion of
Woman.
She at Last Found Remedy Which Bafreo
Disease.

From the Press, New York City.
Few people have suffered more from
pain in the back than Mrs. Lille B.
Newell of No. 2313 Second Avenue,
New York City. For several years she
was so afflicted with this distressing
malady that she was hardly able to
get around, and could do little to care
for her children which made her suffer
ing all the harder TO bear. Ter hus-
band, Charles Newell, who is we'll
known New York optieian, tried in
every way to find remedy for his
wife, but no medicine seemed to have
the power to remove her pain.
Mrs. Glynn, a, sister of Mrs. Newell,
is professional nurse, and was fami-
liar with the symptoms of her sisters
sickness. Mrs. Newell was away on
visit when a reporter called upon her,
but Mrs. Glynn, who lives at No. 416
East Northumberland street
told the story Of her sisters recovery.
a doctor was called when Mrs. New
ellis condition became serious ana he
prescribed small pink pills which. in a
short time, relieved the woman's pain
as no other medicine had done. After
awhile Mrs Glynn told the reporter,
I'VE learned that the medicine the ply
stefan was giving my sister was moth
ing more than DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. Knowing by expert
ence how excellent remedy these pills
were, Mrs. Newell bought some at a
drug store and continued taking them.
The effect was most gratifying, for
in six months my sister was perfectly
well and the pain in her back was moth
ing more than an unpleasant memory
Both she and | have recommended the
Pink Pills to other people, who have
not failed to find them all that is claim
] ed. All the doctors my sister had been
treated by, before taking the pills, had
done her no apparent good.
The proprietors of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills state that they are not patent
medicine but a prescription used for
many years by an eminent practitioner
who produced the most wonderful re-
suits with them, curing all forms of
weakness arising from a watery con-
dition of the blood or shattered nerves,
two fruitful causes of almost every i'll
to which flesh is heir. The pills are
also a specific for the troubles peculiar
TO females. such as suppressions, all
forms of weakness, chronic constipa-
ton, bearing down pains. etc, and in
the case of men will give speedy relief
and effect a permanent cure in all cases
arising from mental worry, overwork
or excuses of whatever nature. They
are entirely harmless. and can be given
to weak and siekly children with the
greatest good and without the slightest
danger Pink Pills are sold by Hollis
ter Drug Co., Hebron Drug Co., whole
sale agents for Hawaiian Islands, and
all dealers in medicine
