INTENSE SUFFERING
From Dyspepsia and Stonl-
ach Trouble.
Instantly Relieved and Permanent-
Iy Cured by Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
A New Discovery, hut Not n Patent
Medicine.

Dr. Redwen relates an interesting ac-
count of what he considers remarkable
cure of acute stomach trouble and chronic
dyspepsia by the use of the new discovery.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says: The patient was a man who
had suffered to my knowledge for years
with dyspepsia. Everything he ate SEEM
ed to sour and create acid and gases in
the stomach; he had pains like rheuma-
tism in the back, shoulder blades aad
limbs, fulness and distress after eating,
hpoor appetite and loss of flesh; the heart
became affected, causing palpitation and
sleeplessness at night.
l gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies, but to no purpose. As an
experiment. l finally bought a tifty-cent
package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
drug store and gave them to him. AL
most immediate relief was given, and
after he had used four boxes he was to
all appearances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour
watery risings, no bloating after meals.
the appetite was vigorous and he has gain
ed between 10 and u pounds in weight Of
solid, healthy flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are advertised and sold in drug stores, yet
| consider them a most valuable addition
to any physicians line of remedies, as
they are perfectly harmless and can be
given to children or invalids or in any con-
dition of the stomach with perfect safety,
being harmless and containing nothing
but vegetable and fruit essences, pure pep
sin and Golden Seal
Without any question they are the SAT-
est, most effective cure for indigestion,
biliousness, constipation and all derange-
ments of the stomach, however slight or
severe.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are made BY
the Stuart Co. of Marshall, Mich, and
sold by druggists everywhere at fifty
cents per package.

SOUTH CAROLINA QUARANTINE.
An Appeal Made to the Government
to Relieve That State of Its Ex-

An Appeal Made to the Government
to Relieve That State of Its Ex-
pense.
Washington, Jan. 21.-Capt. Devereux,
superintendent of the construction and re-
pair of the government buildings in South
Carolina and contiguous states, is in
Washington for consultation with the su-
pervising architects office relative to GER
tain work going on in his district.
Capt. Devereaux was called to Wash
ington to consult the authorities with spe-
cial reference to the improvement of the
government buildings at Sapelo and Fish
er's Island. He is also interested in the
establishment of a marine hospital at
Charleston and the securing of an appro-
prlation that will enable the government
to improve the parking around the post
office at Charleston.
He also had a consultation with Sur
geon General Wyman of the marine hos
pital service relative to the transfer of the
expenses of the quarantine system in
Charleston harbor from the state govern
ment to the national government. He
says South Carolina is the only state in
the union that pays for its own quaran-
tine system. In all of the other states
the government supports the quarantine
system. In view of that fact, he contends
that South Carolina should be relieved
from the expense it now labors under in
that particular.
The following fourth-class postmasters
were to-day appointed:
South Cardinals. J, Burn, Society Hill,
Darlington county
Georgia-C. II. Moore, Hillman, Talia-
ferro county, and G. T. Clarke, Shoals,
Warren county.
Florida-G. c. Horn, Meals Landing,

PREPARING FOR THE GALLows.
A VaIdOsta Negro VIII Answer For
His Crime To-day.

Valdosta, Ga. Jan. @.-The prohibition
lists have filed a petition with the ordi-
nary, calling an election on the liquor
question in this county, and the day was
first appointed on the 10Th of February,
but it was postponed to the oath. This
morning the committee. consisting of gen.
tIemen who have interested themselves in
the contest, Withdrew the petition from
the ordinary and the election has now
been postponed indefinitely. The action is
based upon the fact that no time was al
lowed for registration under a call made
now, and both sides to the issue were
DESTROYS of having as much time as posi-
Bile to get their men registered. The cleo
ton will probably be called some time in
the next three months.
The registration books for the munich
pal election closed on yesterday and the
election will be held on Feb. 10 A mass
meeting the night before the election will
nominate candidates for the different Of
fees, and they will he elected the next
day without opposition. Valdosta's way
of keeping down a hot municipal contest
is the best adopted by any community in
the state.
Dol Nelson, the white man who killed
negro at Hahira Sunday night was
given preliminary trial here to-day and
was released. 1t was shown clearly that
the killing was accidental.
Jake Burney, the condemned murderer
in Jail here, will be hanged tomorrow be-
tween the hours of II and 3 The negro
has not shown the least sign of excite
ment and still holds out that God will be
with him in the execution. He professed
conversion some months ago and since
then has been an almost incessant reader
of the Bible His wife and child were
with him most of this evening. He was
carried down stairs this morning and al
lowed to see the scaffold upon which he is
to hang.
