.AsHERcULEAN4rAs "A

The Mobile Register hassundertaken' the Herculean task to bolster up Tax Col 1ector Lott, of Mobile county, who the records show has held the office since 1873 continuously. and who has been a dS- faulter every year since he has been in office, costing the county at one fell sweep over S1OoO O00.
 The Register says sWe decidedly ob- ject to governor of Alabama making such a spectacle Of himself. We behold him Illuminating an immense bolt at the head of the aged and honored wax col lector of Mobile. asserting and proving that on several occasions ths lax col lector has had differences with the state auditors as to his duty. the amount and manner of his payments, and that tech nically he was declared in defauBt and required to make settlement, which the tax collector has always been able to do, and that should end the matter"
 When the Register, succeeds in its Hereulean undertaking to convince the public that the governor has failed in his duty or exceeded his authority in de- manding, even at this late date, that MT Lott give a good and sufficient bond as a guarantee of his official conduct, whsn a record has been exposed which has caused the entire s ate to pause and wonder why such action had not been taken months ago, it may then under taks to change the gulf s.ream or make water run up hill. What, in fact, the governor ought to do Is ito use his every authority to have Lott impeached. And inslsead of such papers as the Register attempting to smother up the facts and plaster over th.se charges, they ought to aid the executive in exposing them.
 The State Herald repeats that the ci;y of Mobile will make poor headway in ob- taining position among the progressive cities of the south so long as it's leading newspaper winks at malfeaseance in office, as has been proven that Tax Col lector Lott has been guilty of.

CHIEFcAUSE,

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid neys is the chief cause of bladder troubles So the womb, Nike 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 aside for twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates kidney or bladder trouble. The mild and the ex- traordinary effect of pr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney and bladder reme- dy Is soon realized. If you need medi- cine you should have the best. At drug gists 50 cents and $1. You may have a sample bottle and pamphlet both sent free by mail Mention the State Herald and send your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co, Binghamton, N. Y.

If the board had located the agricul- tural school in Dadeyille instead of We tumpka, it is hardly possible that the itself thus early for a gubernatorial can didate for governor to succeed Gov. John ston. The Mckinley prosperity is mak- ing some newspa pers and some sections very peevsh and clamorous for gain at any cost to the other fellows who may bs equally interested and entitled to the same recognition under the eye of the law and justice. Candidates brought out under such circumstances seldom win, and papers that change fronts for a pottage carry but little influence with them.
 The Fourth of July is the one national holiday upon which all sections can unite with a common patriotic purpose. Even foreign-born citizens enter into the sen- timent of the day, for on that day was born the spirit of liberty which opened up new world to the oppressed of all lands and all nations. The State Herald esires to add to the interest of this great national holiday and emphasizes its pa triotic import by calling attention to the young men who have come of age since the last Fourth of July In the celebrations of the day these young men should be shown all due courtesy as the sons of kings are honored on their birth day, for these young men are the future rulers of the land.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur- pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine, and as such it 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.
