A Herfecf God.

Men think that God should avert the
effect Of their foolish and wicked blum
ders, yet expect to go right repeating
their follies. If God should conform
His will to their notions, they would
monopolize all His time and service.
Because il is written and proved that
"whatsoever man soweth that shall
he also reap, many hard things are
spoken against HIM. But a perfect God
makes possible a perfect faith. -Phlla-

TUSK KALOOSA.

A Correct Report-Only Forty-nine Present.
 Tuskaloosa for Johnston.
 Tuskaloosa, Feb. 7.-(Special.) )-Tele- graphic reports have been sent out tell ing of the formation of the Clarke club here Your correspondent, in the interest of truth and justice herewith hands you a full and fair account of the meeting of the Clarke clan.
 After days of whipping in by the local bosses the time was set and boys carried banners around town all day with notice for the Clarke men to meet tonight at the court house"
 Your correspondent was on hand to see the show and went early so as to secure a seat, but he needn't have been in a hurry, for there were seats and to spare. In fact, there were forty-nine present by actual count nine of whom were visitors from another county, all of whom were for Johnston save two, and an ardent Cla rke man being asked as to the senti- ments of the crowd, said that after careful survey he thought them pretty evenly divided between Johnston and Clarke.
 MT. Jemison, who seemed to be run ming the machine, apologized for the small attendance. alleging sickness and bad weather, but the stars were shining brightly outside and most of the sick men in Tuskaloosa were right inside the

A Big Rise in the Tennessee-A Very Suc-
 cessful Farmer.
 Decatur, Feb. 7.-(Special)-The Ten nessee rose and reached point 13 feet above low water mark on yesterday. The Luke Pryor, Jr., came to the wharf from Elk river mills early this morning with a consignment of 200 bales of cotton and 30,000 feet of lumber.
 Horace King Camp No. 476, Confeder- ate Veterans, will meet semi-monthly- every second Saturday at p. m. to ac- commodate the members of the camp who live in the country and every fourth Friday at 7:30 D. m each month reSu- larly.
 Both the Decaturs have made contracts with the General Electric Light company for street lighting. The plant will re- main.
 Miss Bertha Daniel has returned to her home in this city from protracted visit to Huntsville.
 Mrs. Paul Speake of Huntsville is vis- iting at the home of MT. J. E. Penny, New Decatur.
 No city in this land of aboriginal felic- ity has suffered more from the curse and fantasy of boomism than this city. Hence it is with profound qualification that the far-seeing business men here realize that the Decaturs are waking to their best business interests and are again enter ing the race for commercial distinction among the cities of this state.
 MT. c. N. Robinson of Hillsboro, Law renee county, Ala, was in this city re- gently and was approached on the sub- ject of agricultural profits in Alabama outside of cotton growing. MT. Robin son replied that he did not grow cotton, but that the production of grain and live stock on his farms was a source of profit A further interview brought out the fact that Mr Robinson came to this state from the state of Tennessee about six teen years ago. when he was about 20 years of age, and went to work as fore man on his uncle's (Col. T. M. Burketts) farm near Athens, in Limestone county. He has since acquired a ranch in the Indian territory, which he still owns; he subsequently, went to the island of Ja- maica as a railroad contractor, but later returned to Alabama to make his for tune as farmer, and here, he says, he has made every dollar he possesses. Since his return to this state MT. Robinson has acquired the beautiful island of some 1900 acres of alluvial soil fourteen miles be- low this city in the Tennessee river, plantation of 1000 acres on the south bank of the river and a farm of 800 acres back in the hills of Lawrence county From his farms Mr. Robinson sells an- nually 10000 to 30,000 bushels of corn and ships from three to five carloads of live stock, consisting of beef cattle, horses hogs, mules, etc., besides quantities of butter, poultry and fruits, green and dried. Success like this should encour- age every agriculturist of the state and induce every young man native to her soil to remain in Alabama, join the large body of farmers and make agriculture profession.
 MT. Robinson is strong Johnston man.

Adding to Its Plant-Indorse Johnston and
 Doubt the Advertiser.
 Prattville, Feb. 7.-lSpecial. 1.-The Dan .iel Pratt Gin company are building steam dry house for seasoning their woods before working into gins. Here tofore they have used hot air kilns.
 The Louisville and Nashville put on recently new schedule on the M. & P. branch. All trains now go through to Montgomery.
 Hon. w. F. Wilkerson, Autauga coun- tvs efficient probate judge, is prominent ly spoken of for congress from the Fifth district. Judge Wilkerson has many friends all through the district who would be pleased to have him represent them in the next congress.
 Your correspondent believes Capt. Joe Johnston did the proper thing in refusing to canvass the state with MT. Clarke, and nearly every democrat to a man in these parts agrees in opinion with him.
 Oh, how old grandma at Montgomery has been tearing her hair" since the committee met, and yet that committee did no more and no less than just what several committees have done, even the national democratic committee. It Is considered an open question here wheth- CT. if Captain Johnston be nominated, the Advertiser will support him. The Advertiser has supported many demo- cratic nominees, and we think 1t never helped the enemy; so 1t is hard to believe that it will change it's rule and princi- ple now. It cannot afford, with its pres ence influence, to do less. We shall ex- pect to see the old lady in the midst of the hottest fight after the state conven- tion, whoever may be nominated.

court room-if looks are a sign of dis ease.
 The usual formalities were gone through. MT. Buck Oliver, law partner of J. Manly Foster, a son-in-law of MT. Clarke, was called to the chair, and after few desultory remarks by him the crowd began to leave. They proceeded to- business, appointed committees and without more ado actually appointed vice-presidents for every beat in the county. no doubt thinking the country beats unable to attend to these matters if they saw fit to do so
 A young and enthusiastic democrat in- troduced resolution pledging the mem- bers of the club to support the nominee of the democratic party, whether he be Clarke or Johnston but this didn't suit the old uns, and after a good deal of talky talk by MT. Jemison, MT. Manly Foster and others, he was persuaded to withdraw it, notwithstanding the mover insisted on his resolution, but said he would do so in difference to their supe- rior political wisdom.
 There several speeches, the most sensi- ble one being from MT. Owen, candidate for the legisla ture. Hon. l.. D. Godfey being called on, said he was in Tuska- loosa purely on business, but when his eye caught the poster calling the meeting of the Clarke cohorts his democratic blood was aroused and he determined to come around and show the people how he stood. N. B.-He Is much more anx- ious to show the people how he stands now than he was when running for solic- itor.
 You can put Tuskaloosa in the John ston column, for the democrats of this county don't intend for these ringsters to beat the man who stands for unity of democratic cause, the betterment of the oppressed and the progress of the great state of Alabama.

POISON IN THE BLOOD
Which Is the Direct Cause of Rheumatism, and in Fact of Most Physical
 Troubles.
"These are trying times

'These are trying times"
 The speaker was a middle-aged man and father of quite a family.
 T don't refer to business" he con- tinued but to the trying weather have a severe attack of rheumatism, my wife has a bad cold and the rest of the family are not we'll"
 II know it is a common thing to lay all these troubles to the weather, but have come to the conclusion that the condition of the system has much to do with 1t. If the man who has rheuma- tism and the woman who has cold will trace back for the cause it will be found in some weakness of the body"
 And do you know what I think the greatest weakness in the body is |? I will tell you. I believe it is due to uric acid which is in the blood, keeping it fer mented all the time. I know that it causes rheumatism and I believe most colds" 11
 You naturally ask how does this uric acid get into the blood The answer is very simple. The kidneys do not do their duty and throw it from the sys- tenn as it should, and. therefore, it remains in the blood, and I believe that If uric acid were removed from the blood most rheumatism and colds would disappear
 The gentleman was right, and he might have added that Brights disease of the kidneys is also brought about by this same cause. Is it not plain to be seen that if the kidneys are strong and healthy and throw the uric acid out of the system, it will not get into the blood and so poison the muscles and joints and cause rheumatism, or decay the kid neys and cause Bright's disease.
 There has never been but one known remedy for all troubles of the Kidneys, and that Is Warmers Safe Cure. It has been found by the medical profession to be possessed of properties unknown to any discovery of modern or ancient times. It has taken men and women too, who were in the last stages. and restored them to perfect health and strength. It is indorsed by physicians, approved by scientists, and used by the best people in the land. It is a scientific preparation and owes its popularity wholly to its power.
 It should be borne in mind however that where there are much serious trou- bles as those above mentioned, only strictly reliable preparation can be used with hope or safety.
 It will pay you to bear these things in mind.

Bank Officers Indicted.

New Orleans, La, Feb. 7..Three or four months ago a small banking institu- ton of this city, styled the New Orleans Cooperative Banking association, closed it's doors under very suspicious circum- stances. An investigation of the books by a committee of stockholders resulted unsatisfactorily, and the affairs of the bank were carried to the grand jury. To- day that body returned indictments for embezzlement against Adolph F. Himel, president, and Fred Bertrand, one of the directors of the defunct institution.

A rumor reached the city last night that Mr. c. Paul Freeman had been dan gerously shot in Lowndes county Thurs day. MT. Freeman is visiting his moth- CTS home in that county, and the report says that an unknown white man shot him in the region of the heart while the two were engaged in a difficulty. ss
 The wound is said to be very critical. and that MT. Freeman is not likely to re- cover. -
 MT. Freeman is well known in Birming- ham, and his many friends in this city will be exceedingly sorry to learn of his misfortune. MT. Freeman was formerly with the First National bank, where he was highly respected and esteemed em- DlOye.

Housskeepers Want the Best Food


 What Scientists say:
 Prof. Arnold of the University of New York: "I consider that each and every ingredient of oleomargarine but ter or butterine is perfectly pure and wholesome, that the oleomargarine butter differs in no essential manner from the butter made from cream. It is great discovery, a blessing for the poor, in every way perfectly pure, wholesome and palatable article.
 Silver Churn Butterine is prepared especially for fine table use. Every de- tail of it's manufacture is perfect. Re- cent chemical experiments show that in nutritive and digestive properties Silver Churn Butterine is fully equal to the best creamery butter; while in keeping quality Silver Churn Butterine is much superior.

 Uniontown, Feb. 7.-(Special.) 1.-The peo- pie here are greatly interested in the establishment of a canning factory, for which books of subscription have already been opened There seems little doubt but that the factory will be built in a short time.
 It is certain that Captain Johnston will carry Perry county in the coming county convention, although the town of Union- town is about evenly divided, with a small majority in Johnston's favor. John ston had solid delegation from Perry in the last state convention.
 Maj. and Mrs. James Spence of Tuska- loosa have been here several days, the guests of Colonel and Mrs. Davidson.
