Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gener-
ally needed when the lanquid, exhaust

torpid and sluggish and the need of a

use of this medicine has often averted

THE BEST SHOE MADE FOR MEN.
BROTHERS FIGHT A DUEL.

Because OF a woman, John aud David
Warris fought duel to the death nes r
Charlottesville, Fla, Saturday. The
men were brothers, and the woman in
the case was the wife of David Warris,
who married ner during Christmas
week.
1t seems that TIE girl had been en-
gagged to marry John Warris, but with
out giving reason she jil,ed him q
week later and welded David Warris.
Recently John Warris learned tnat the
girl had been told slapderous stories
concerning bin by his brother David.
For this reason the young woman Tilted
John, and out Of pique d few days later
married David.
John WARTS saw his brothers. wife
Saturday morning and related the story
of her husbands dupIicty. She was
greatly enraced by the recital and both
agreed that David should be punished
for his treachery. The woman told John
be must fight David and kill him.
The couple separated and in the after
noon John went to DAvid's home and
charged him with treachery. David
did not deny the story. and John then
insisted that one or the other must die.
Mrs Warris also denounced her hus
band and Insisted that he must fl ,ht
John. David consented, and the two
brothers went to the yard, pistols in
hand, and faced each other at ten
PAGES, Mrs. Warris looking on from the
veranda.
John gave the signal to fire, and the
pistols cracked simul aneously, but
neither was hit. At the sesond ex-
change Of shots both men were slightly
wounded. At the third exchange John
Warris's right arm Was shattered, but
he took his pistol in his left hand and
Insisted that the duel he continued.
A fourth exchange OF shots followed,
and David Warris fell dead with bull
let through his brain, and John re.
ceived third nound, whch may prove
fatal
Seeing that her husband was dead
and her brother.in-lsw was badly
wounded Mrs Warris sent for ply
sicisn, to whom she told the story Of
the duel. she seems TO think that her
husband received only justice, and that
she and John Warris acted properly.
John Warris is badly wounded. He
is closely guarded aud will be removed
to Jail if he RECEIVERS. Mrs. Warris may
also be arrested.

INCREASING BEET CULTURE.


 The high tariff on sugar and the abro- eatien 4of the Hawaiian treaty will in- crease. the production of beet sugar in this country. The secretary of agricul- ture Is sending specimens of beets to all sections of the United States for farmers to experiment. with. It is to be hopsd that he will not forget the farmers of this section. It is possible that central Alabama may sbecome great beet pro- 'ducilig section. The summers here are long enough to mature the beet, and in this respect we have the advantage of where the summers are short. This climate and soil is similar Fto that of Germany, where the beet grows in great perfection. The truck farmers in this section have no trouble in growing the largest beets. If beet culture succeeds here to a large extent it. would keep our machine shops busy making machinery for the sugar mills. The farmers could haul their beets to the mill at some central point as Bir- minghan. It would not be necessary for the beet farmers to put up their own mills, as the sugar cane planters do.

THE AUDITORS LETTER.
Some of the Remarks the State Press Is Making About the Unwarranted
 Thrust at the Official.

.. The chief point made on State Auditor Whites recent report on the conditions of the state treasury was that 1t was made at -"the instance of the governor" Now that the state auditor has exploded this little story, made to show a motive behind the ,ripcrt the Mobile Register and the Mont sgomery Morning Distress, have nothing to fall back on.-Montgomery Journal
 ' State Auditor White, in a two column ar .ffcle last Sunday replies to the Adver- tisers attack upon his report of the condi- tion of the treasury made a couple of weeks ago. The article is an admirable defense of the report; reasons for giving it, etc. The Advocate thought from the first that the attacks made on the governor because of sthe report of Auditor White were unealled for, and we are sure they would not have been made but for the opposition Gov. Johnston by the papers who were opposed to his election and who are today opposed ito his re-election. If the same thing had occurred during Gov. Jones' or Gov, Oates admfhistration itSMbugd hay VSbeef all Fright and no adverse criticism would have been heard from them.-Greenville Advocate.
 
 The state treasury deficiency is a live question, and we wish to, say that we eX- pect to see that deficiency wiped entirely out By the first of next January, if not
 
 first-class.-Uniontown Herald.
 HOT STUFF.
 What we call warming up things" is the article in the Mobile News from the pen of Auditor White wherein he scores the Mont gomery Advertiser for false statements. This is what we call pretty warm. You want to read it.-Edwardsville Standard News. J-.5 4-a .;.- 
 Suppose that there is truth in the charge that Auditor White, in making his state ment, desired to disparage the administra- tions of Cows. Oates and Jones by con- trasting them in an unfavorable light with that of Gov. Johnston ought the Register to make the charge? Ever since the new city administration assumed control the Register has published daily reports of it's achievements in comparison with those of its predecessor. If the Register may do this, why may not the friends of Gov. John- ston pursue like course in comparing his management with that of others? But Auditor White had no such purpose in view when he furnished facts relating to question that had been in dispute and never before settled-that is, the exact con- dition of the state treasury Jan. 1, 1897. Auditor White said in his letter to the Ad- vertiser that the administrations of Cows. Jones and Oates were most credtable. We believe that the Register accused the au-

IMPORTANT DIsPENsARY CASE.

Charleston, s. C., May 21-A case in- volving the constitutonahty of Import ant provisions of the dispensary law of South Carolina, was up before Judge Simonton in the United States circuit court here today. The arguments were made on the petition of Messrs. Wander cook & Co.,, of California. against the liquor commissioner and state consta- bias, asking the curt to epjoin them from seizing liquors of thep laintiffs, shipped into the state or in any other way inter- fering with the business of the company in this state. Argument for the state was made by Attorney General Barber and vandercook & Co. were represented by MT. J. P. K. Bryan, the lawyer who has done so much to break up the dis pensary law. The case will be continued tomorrow. The court room was packed with spectators throughout the day.2f0

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

70, The bladder was created for ore pur- pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine. and as such 1t is not liable to-any form Of disease except by one of two ways. The first way is from imperfect action of the kidneys. The second way is from care less local treatment of other diseases.
 CHIEF CAUSE.
 Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid neys is the chief cause of bladder troubles. So the womb, like the bladder, was created for one purpose, and If not doctored too much is not liable to weak ness or disease, except in rare cases. It is situated back of and very close to the bladder, therefore any pain, disease or inconvenience manifested in the kid neys, back, bladder or urinary passage is often by mistake, attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort. The error is easily made and may be as easily avoided. To find out correctly, set your urine asidei for twenty-four hours; sediment or settling indicates kidney or bladder trouble. The mild and the ex- traordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney and bladder reme- dy is soon realized. If you need medi- cine you should have the best.
