When young man asks a father for his
daughters hand in marriage, if the father
is a wise one he thinks of one thing equal
ly as important as the young mans morals,
social and business standing and inteili-
gence. young man who suffers FROM ill
health has no right to marry until his health
is restored. To do SO is to commit crime
against the human race. While all diseases
may not be directly inherited, the constitu-
tional tendency to acquire them is inher-
tied If a man is a consumDtive, the
chances are that his children will have
weak, undersized lungs, and predisposi-
ton to acquire the same disease.

chitis, weak lungs, splitting of blood or any

Millions Given Away .

1t is certainly gratifying to the
public to know of one concern in the
land which is not afraid to be gener-
Gus to the needy and suffering. The
proprietors of DIR. Kings New Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs

ten million trial bottles of this great
medicine; and have the satisfaction
of knowing it has absolutely cured
thousands OF hopeless cases. AS
thma, Bronchitis, Hoarseness and
all diseases of the Throat, Chest and

only meant to make a show of fight

navy to act before the enemy had
time to fortify, as all Europe and
America expected it to do, the Presi-
dent held it back, and called for
125, 900 volunteers. Presently he de-
manded $4,000 more, while the first
army was still in a state OF chaos,

Cleveland in his Reno speech de-
MED that he was lobbyist for the
Central Pacific, Will he deny that
he was a lobbyist for the V. q 7?
Read the following taken from the
appeal of January 4th, 1881:
"A. c. Cleveland, the famous rail
road lobbyist" is at the Ormsby
House. "Cleve" is awfully smart,
the smartest the railroad ever had.
He was able with the wave of his
hand, to rip the anti railroad plank
out of the platform of the Republi-
can convention last Summer. His
smoothe address, affahle bearing
and immense tact render him a
dangerous man to poor innocent
member from the COW counties, who
would like to lift a mortgage off his
property"

A MALICIOUS FALsEAOOD.
Not a shadow of Truth in the state
ment


ment.
The Virginia Chronicle has the
following:
The Peoples Adrocate of Winnie
mucca uses the following in one of
its recent editorials:
Stewart stated before the Senate
Committee, which had the matter
under consideration "that it would
be an imposition upon the railroad
to compel them to establish a termi
nal point within the boundaries of
this State, a desert where there was
no business.
The above is willful and mali
cious falsehood without "a shadow
OF truth No such sentiment, we
are authorized to say, was ever ex
pressed by Senator Stewart, nor was
the question of a terminal point in
Nevada ever discussed in committee
in his presence.
Why the editor of the AdUocdte
should be constantly dealing in mis-
representations instead of seeking
the truth is incomprehensible.

UNEASINESS FELT.
Rumored That Colored Troops Will
Avenge Death of Comrade.

Macon, Ga. November 29.-Rumor has
been rife in the city tonight that the negro
soldiers of the Third North Carolina regi-
ment stationed here intended to break
out of camp and destroy the city and much
uneasiness has been felt both by citizens
and soldiers.
The excitement among the negro soldiers
was caused by the shooting of Private Will
Kempin, of Company F, Third North Caro-
lima regiment, by W. S. Simmons, proprie-
tor of a saloon. Kempin is thought to be
fatally wounded. He went to Simmons bar
and called for drink. On being told that
the bar was for white people only he be-
came enraged and finally abused a brother
of the proprietor, who struck him with a
bottle. Kempln went away, but shortly re-
turned with four or five other negro SOL
diers and started towards young Simmons,
calling him a vile name. w. S. Simmons,
seeing his brother in peril, shot Kempin In
the breast. The other negroes ran off.

PLAN TO ABOLISH COURT OF
JEFFERSON COUNTY COMMISSIONERS



we think are against the bill and will fight
it.
II have talked to number of citizens of
this county today, and 1 have not seen
man who favored putting the selection of
the county commissioners or any other
body of men acting in the commissioners
places in the hands of the governor or any
other one man. They say they have as
much right to select their county commits
sioners as they have their probate judge
and sheriff, and they think they are Just
capable of selecting good ones as Governor
Johnston is.
"Will we fight the BILL you ask? Yes,
and fight 1t to finish, too We were
elected to our offices by the people, and we
don't propose to sit idly by and see these
offices taken out of their hands and put
into one mans power.
"The sequel of the whole matter is that
Johnston is mad because the county COM
missioners would not let him dictate to
them what they should and should not do.
He has been insisting for some time that
we raise the assessment of property in
Jefferson county in order that the revenues
to the state and county might be increased.
This we have firmly refused to do, as we
knew that they were high enough. 1t now
seems that the governor Is taking steps to
GUST us out of office, and I suppose under
the new order of things which he wants to
establish he will select men who will do as
he wants them.

Maternity is wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly

FAvORS DISPENSARIES.
The House Goes on Record in the
Matter.

Montgomery, November 29.-(Special)-
The house placed itself on record today as
favoring local dispensaries in this state.
Two bills were passed by that body 10
establish dispensaries, one in Dothan and
the other for Clayton. The passage of these
bills is very significant. Fights have been
made in this state for dispensaries for
several years, but this is the first body to
vote in favor of such a measure. Senator
Moody of Tuscaloosa has been leading a
fight to establish dlspensaries for all coun-
ties in the state, in which liquor is now
sold, and today he introduced in the senate
a bill ito regulate the sale of vinous, spir-
ituous and malt liquors in the state OF
Alabama, which is nothing more nor less
than a general dispensary bill. His bill pro-
vides for the establishment of dispensaries
in county sites where saloons are permit
ted. The dispensares are to be controlled
by the board of mayor and councilmen. A
chief dispenser is to be appointed for each
county. Towns with less than 10, 600 Qopu-
lation are allowed but one dispensary, and
one for each additional 10000 of population.
Sentiment in the assembly seems to be
growing in favor of dispensaries, and SEN
ator Moody's bill may be passed by this
assembly. 1t will be hard fight to defeat
the measure. In the house this morning
about the only members voting against the
local dispensaries for Clayton and Dothan
were the preacher members, who are OPP
posed to the sale of whisky in any manner
in this state. These members would vote
for the Moody BILL but just how many of
those who voted for the local bills, would
vote for a general bill cannot be estimated.

Each Shin Her Own Coal Bnse.

The selection of the four great

greater Importance to the cause of the

warfare would think.
Each one of these great liners" said
the naval officer, sis practically her
own coal base. For instance, the St.
Paul, to the command of which Cap
tain Sigsbee was assigned, can carry
4,500 tons OF coal. This will enable
her to keep the sea, in good trim, for
fully 30 days, steaming al 10 knots an
hour. Moreover, she need not steam
at this rate all Of the time, and, there
fore, practically, she could keep the
sea for "a much longer time than 90
days and be in the highest state OF eff
cheney. Such a ship as the St.
Paul could safely hover around the
Spanish coast and destroy Spanish
commerce, and. having a large supply
OF coal, economical 10y steaming at a
slow rate, when there was no necessity
for overtaking a prize, or running away
from an enemy OF superior force, she
need not seek a coal base for three or
four months, especially if she had an
occasional opportunity to replenish her
coal bunkers from prizes. The navy
department, therefore, has conferred a
most important command on Captain
Sigsbee, and l am sure hat he is proud
Of it, and feels how important it is and
what possibilities have been placed
within his grasp as a commerce de-
%stroyer."

A movement originating among sew
eral leading Chicago business houses is
attracting general attention. The Ma
tional Parcel Post League is the name
of u new organization formed to induce
the government to establish a system
OF transporting small packages of mer-
chandise through the mails after the
manner Of the popular and profitable
parcel post systems Of Europe. This
movement will meet with public favor,
and the political party that will give
it hearty Endorsement will be greatly
strengthened. There is no reason why
our p~ostofice department should not
give to the public as great advantages
as the European p~ostoffice systems con-
fer upon people abroad, by extending
the rates of cheap letter postage to
small packages OF merchandise. The
adoption of such a system would add
enormously to the business of the stores
in all the cities great and small, and
would give the people the benefit of
competitive prices for most articles re-
quired for domestic consumption
