FRUITHURST.
Webb and Dryer Talk "Sound Money
 More Lands to Be Cleared.


 More Lands to Be Cleared.
 Fruithurst, Oct. N.-(Special Corre- spondence)-J. F. Webb, Esq, and Hon. E. H. Dryer, sound money candidates for congress from the Fourth district, spoke here last night to an audience of ninety one persons, including women and chil- dren. Both claimed to be democrats, but they are very anxious to see Bryan de- feated.
 MT. Dryer spoke forty-five minutes. He went through the usual ceremony of the sound money speakers, viz: insinuating that Bryan and his followers are fools, anarchists and rascalS. He said that Mo- Kinley would be elected, and that If he was elected he would help Mckinley to maintain the gold standard, but failed to say what he would do with Mckinley 8 tariff views. MT. Dryer has very ex- alted opinion of his views. He talked as though he could give Bryan several les sons in finance.
 It is safe to say that Dryer will not get twenty-five democratic votes in Cleburne county. His friend Webb, while talking to your correspondent, admitted that Dryer did not have any hope of being elected. but that he is running to uphold his principles. That is all he will have to uphold after the 3d of November, for the votes he will get will be no trouble to up- hold.
 The Alabama Fruit Growing and Win cry association are letting contracts to have more land cleared on which to plant grape vines. They are also having thelr vineyards cultivated.
 Each week people arrive from the north and northwest to investigate the pros- poets here; also many of them come to make this their home. Anyone who thinks that Fruithurst is a dead town should come and investigate thoroughly, and see where they are mistaken.

ONEONTA.

Oneonta, Oct 27.-(Special Correspond ence) )-Hon. w. w. Haralson arrived in town today, commissioned by the gov ernor as special judge to hold the court for this division of Blount county Judge Bilbro being unable to hold court on ac- count of the serious Illness of his wife. MT. Haralson, shortly after arriving call ed the4bar together, and, after getting an expression from every member of the bar and from the officers of the court, decided 1t was best, on account of the few eases that would be tried, to adjourn the court for this time without perfecting an or ganization. The attorneys had been try ing to agree that it was not necessary to hold court, but on account of few cases no agreement could be reached; hence 1t required a judge to decide the matter.
 Governor-Elect Johnston and Hon. O. w. Underwood, candidate for congress from this district made ringing free sil- yer speeches here to crowded house last night. %.
 MT. Underwood made an excellent argu-, ment for the white metal, and the govern or was impressive in his appeal, and cas- fly caught the crowd with his merry jokes and facetious comparisons. Captain Johnston well sustained his reputation as a ready stump speaker
 In a fight out about the limits of the town Henry Atkinson was struck on the side of the head with a rock by John Jor- dan and Jim Putnam, each hitting him on the opposite side of~the head, and both blows split the skin badly. The difficulty arose out of joke in some way. Atkinson became angry and was making for Jordan and Putnam with an open knife. They tried to get him to stop, saying they we're not angry, but he came on, and as the ground was covered with rocks they cas- fly found weapons with which to make him stop. .T
 Atkinson told the physician while the wounds were being dressed that he would lay them in the shade if his Winchester would fire, and he would do it before his head was we'll Atkinson is a fearless ma n, and some trouble. may result more serious than a head cracking.
 Dr. Grove is billed to speak here to- night on the political issues, and he will no doubt tell the people that he has a better chance to win than the speakers last night permitted him to have.

 In Dement, Brothers drug store there is a clock that persists in stopping when the hands mark the time sixteen min- utes to 1 o'clock, It is an eight-day clock and of ordinary appearance. On July IL one or the clerks in the store discovered that the clock had stopped at sixteen minutes to l. Inquiries disclosed the fact that 1t had stopped two days before the discovery, or on the day of Bryan's nomi- nation by the democratic convention. The clock was started, and after running a. few hours, again stopped, with the hands at sixteen to one. It was then given up with disgust as hopeless silverloon, and now hangs in the rear of the store, where any one who chooses can see it.
 Messrs. Searcy, Dement, and Ben Lee Young are ready to make affidavits in support of this story.
 The good ladies of the Baptist church have been unremjttent in their labors to procure homes for the large number of ministers who will attend the Baptist state convention, which meets in this city November 6. In summing up the result Of their laborseit was .ascertained that at least forty homes were yet needed to ac- commodate them, and they must be pro- cured this week.,
 Dr. J. M. Hocket, father of Mrs. Glenn Wells, died suddenly Tuesday morning at o'clock at the home of his daughter, on East Holmes street. The immediate cause of his death was heart failure.
 One week ago he buried his wife, a most estimable lady, at his home in Chi cago. He came here with his daughter, Mrs Wells, a. few days ago, seemingly in good health, but the loss of his wife evidently had dealt death blow to him. He was a gentleman in every sense of the word-a man whom to know was to love, of high character and spotless integ- rity. He made friends of all who came in contact with him

Ashville, Oct. 2S.-(Special Correspon- dence )-Col. Sam Will John spoke in Ashville on yesterday. He had g. very fair crowd out to hear him, notwithstand- ing we had no notice of his coming Colonel John spoke for almost two hours and completely captivated his audience. Many populites and republicans were present but all agree that Colonel John delivered the most profound speech that has been heard in Ashville in many years It is to be hoped much good will result from it.
 The republicans in St. Clair will not poll exceeding 800 or 600 votes on next Tuesday. Bryan and Sewall will receive all the democratic strength. but it is diffi- cult to tell how the populites will vote. A great many, however, have declared in favor of Bryan and Sewall. We don't ex- pect to carry the county for Sewall over Watson, still the populite majority will be much less than it was in August. The most sanguine of them place their ma jority at 300. In August 1t was 1001.

 Mr. Stevenson Was Affected by the Heat
 at the Bryan Meeting.
 Chicago, Oct. 28.-While sitting on the platform at the Bryan political meeting held at Tattersall last evening Vice President Stevenson was overcome by heat and compelled to withdraw from the stage. Fearing that he might faint. the vice-president had his cab called, and he went at once to the Palmer house. In leaving the stage door at the place of the mass meeting, MT. Stevenson asked the assistance of a policeman who was on duty in that section of the house. and the latter saw him safely away in his cab.
 After arriving at the hotel, the vice. president still felt the effects of his ill., ness, but he was able to go to his apart ments without further assistance and he did not think 1t necessary to call a physi- clan. No serious results are anticipated.

Gladness Comes

VxTith better understanding of the
 w transient nature of the many phys. ical ills, which vanish before proper ef- forts-gentle eefforts-pleasant efforts rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to constipated condi- ton of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt ly 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. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it tissthe one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without facilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get it's bene- ficial effects, to note when you pur- chase, that you have the genuine arti- cle, which is manufactured by the Cali. fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists.
 If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system Is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but If fin need of laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely usedandgivesmost general satisfaction.
