Ablaze
With ErySipelaS

There il no disease of the blood
which so completely puzzles the doc
tors as Erysipelas- They admit that
II Is a blood trouble, but like other such
diseases, they are unable to effect a
cure.
II Is not surprising that those who
are afflicted with this distressing dis
case should suffer such untold agonies.
Like consuming fame, it covers the
skin with a fiery, burning redness
which is almost unbearable, and only
those who have been SO afflicted can
describe its fortunes.
Aside from the suffering which Fry
sipelas causes, there 10 always great
danger attending the disease, unless
promptly checked. The Inflammation
spreads through the tissues of the skin
and, when vital part is attacked, the
result II disastrous. Often the bones
are affected, and become so diseased
that they crumble away, leaving the
patient an invalid for life.
Here is such a case, where the doc
tors were unable to afford relief, and
strongly urged an operation.
Miss Ada Wainwright is a most esti-
mable young lady, residing at Alamo,
Tenn After being under the Doctors
care constantly for three years and de-
clared incurable, she saw before her
only the gloomy life of an invalid.
Under date of May 9Th, 1896 she writes !:

A REFORMAToRY NEXT.

The State Herald here and now pledges Mayor VanHoose it's heartiest co-opera ton in his effort to raise money to build a reformatory for the city prisoners. That Birmingham will have reformato- " we now feel confident. The city is sadly in need of such an institution, and cannot afford to be longer without it. The city is not able to build it; therefore the citizens of Birmingham must do as usual-prove themselves equal to the emergency by subscribing the funds with which to build and equip it. For $5OO0 a work farm and reformatory can be had. That amount Is less than 10 cents per capita of the population of the city. Is there a man or woman within the con fines of this city who will not contribute to such a fund? We think not.
 The constitutional limitation prevents the city from being able to procure this greatly needed institution on it's own ac- count. This same constitutional limita- ton has left the money in the hands of the citizens of this city. They have more than once shown their liberality and pa- triotism by voting to remove the limta- ton; therefore we feel justified in pre- dieting that the same spirit which
 
 their taxes in order that their city might be a progressive and independent city will prompt them to subscribe to a fund to be used in providing place where the unfortunates whose lots have been cast in our midst may be given change. Just think of it! What is $5000 when placed by the side of one poor little girl saved from a life of shame, or one little boy wrested from felon's cell? Let every body subscribe small amount Let's have one institution in the city of Birmingham built by public subscription, upon which list shall appear the name of every citizen of the city. If the people of Birmingham will resolve right today that Birmingham shall have a place where the unfortunate boys and girls of this community can be given an oppor- tunity to become men and women instead of devils and demons, we believe provi- dence will send a special blessing on the oity, and that such an one as we stand in need of and have not had before.

IoII First Ayenue.

The Southern Aegis says: "We see nothing fanatical in the Advertisers op- position to Johnston-nothing at all There are none so blind as those who will not see is an adage particularly applica- ble to those whose vision is darkened by prejudice The Advertiser has devoted near one-half of it's editorial space every day since Captain Johnstons name was announced to its opposition to his noni- nation, to the exclusion of all other ques- tions This opposition has been based solely upon the fact that Captain John- ston sees proper to exercise the preroga- tive of every American citizen to enter- tain his own views upon a minor subject, even if they do happen to differ from those of the self-constituted bosses and would-be censors of the democratic party The Advertiser does not attack Captain Johnston's record save on the financial question. and that on this question he differs from President Cleveland. Has not Captain Johnston as. much right to his opinion as has MT. Cleveland to his? Is the indorsement of MT Cleveland's financial policy to be made the test of the voters loyalty to the democratic party of Advertiser and all it's followers-Blanche, Tray and Sweetheart-would devote more of their space to fighting the opposition they would be doing vastly more for the benefit of the democratic party of the state of Alabama than they will achieve by their fruitless attempts to defeat Cap tain Johnston for the nomination for governor. By this course they would avoid the mastication of a great deal of nomenclature as crow, unless they con- template following the example of the gold standard advocates of Kentucky."- Marion County News.

is precluded from voting, except in the case of one who has reached majority between the close of the registrati tion and the day of election, in which case such person may be registered on the day of election. The Sayre law excludes from voting all men who may have removed from one precinct to another between the close of registration and the day of election, a period of three months in the case of the state election and of nearly six months in the case of the presidential and congressional election. The state con- stitution says that any male person not otherwise disqualified by insanity, con- victed of crime, etc., shall be allowed to vote in any election who shall have been in the state one year. the county three months and the precinct one month next preceding the election at which he offers to vote.
 Judge Cobb illustrates his argument as follows:
 "A citizen lives in Macon county and within the time prescribed by the Sayre law registers in that county. Immedi- ately thereafter he moves to Lee county. In August or November he goes to the pous to vote, and notwithstanding that he has resided in Lee county three months, as prescribed by the constitu- ton of the state, he cannot vote because he has not registered in that county. He cannot go back to Macon county to vote, for the constitution requires that a citi- zen must vote in the county of his resi- dence. He is therefore disfranchised."
 Unquestionably the Sayre law is un- constitutional so far as it would prevent the voting of citizen who is qualified under the constitution, but whether it is a good or an Imperfect law, it would be well for every citizen entitled to vote to qualify himself under 1t by prompt regis tration. The law was intended to pre- vent illegal voting by tramps, whether white or black, who in times past have not hesitated to vote without regard to their residence and with no opportunity for their detection as fraudulent voters. It Is or ought to be good law, and if 1t does not fit the constitution it would be we'll to make that instrument fit such a law ss .,'r

Supposing that in every respect, Clarke was the equal of Captain John. ston, who woulds in this present cam- paign be entitled to recognition? Why, Of course, Captain Johnston would be the man. Clarke has been honored with
 high office several times, but Captain Johnston has not. Whatever debt the party owes Johnston has not been paid.
 but on the debt due Mr. Clarke there are several large credits. Now, taking this conservative, just view of the case there is no escaping the conclusion that the party ought to nominate Johnston, and we think 1t Will@Canehrake Herald -

REGISTRATION.

In his argument before the committee in the contested election case of Good wyn vs. Cobb. Judge Cobb took the po- sition that the Sayre registration law is unconstitutional in that 1t sets up quail ifcation for voters other than that pre- scribed by the state constitution. The Sayre law provides that the registration of voters shall begin on the first Monday of May and shall continue eighteen days In the country and thirty days in cities having over 10000 population.
