willing to co-oprate in the movement to secure better public schools and to raise AL abama from the low place which she now occupies in the columns of illiteracy. The people of the State should not longer de- pend upon the teachers to handle the pub- lie school question, but the people who are interested in this great question should come to the rescue of the teachers, and the whole State of Alabama should be aroused on this question as never before, and should make, through mass-meetings, State Conventions, or otherwise, such de- clarations will impress the members of the next General Assembly with the inter est which the people feel in this question.

SIMPLICITY ITSELF.
A SIMPLE, HARMLESS REMEDY.

Yet It Cures the Worst Cases of Dyspepsia
 and Indigestion.
 Dr. Jennison, who has made life study of stomach troubles, says: All forms of in- digestion really amount to the same thing, that is, failure to completely digest the food eaten; no matter whether the trouble is acid dyspepsia or sour stomach, belchiny of wind, nervous dyspepsia or loss of flesh and appetite; a person will not have any of them if the stomach can be induced by any natural, harmless way to thoroughly digest what is eaten, and this can be done by simple remedy which I have tested in hundreds of aggravated cases with com- plete success. The remedy is combina- ton of fruit and vegetable essences, pure aseptic pepsin and golden seal put up in the form of pleasant tasting tablets and sold by druggists under the name of Stuarts s Dyspepsia Tablets. One or two of these tablets should be taken after meals and allowed to dissolve in the mouth and ming Ming with the food in the stomach. digest 1t completely before it has time to fer ment, decay and sour.
 On actual experiment one grain of Stu arts Dyspesda Tablets will digest three thousand grains of meat, eggs and similar wholesome foods.
 It is safe to say if this wholesome reme- dy was better known by people generally, 1t would be a national blessing, as we are a nation of dyspeptics and nine-tenths of all diseases owe their origin to imperfect digestion and nutrition.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are not a secret patent medicine, but a fifty cent package will do more real good for a weak stomach than fifty dollars worth of pat ent medicines and a person has the satis- faction of knowing just what he Is putting into his stomach, which he does not know, when widely advertised patent medicines are used.
 All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets, full sized packages, 50 cents.

The speakin 2

The speaking at the court honse was attended by about 300 people, white and eolored. After the con- clusion of the Bell ward meetings the audience was swelled to over LOGO. A Little Rock band furnished music for the occasion.
 Mr. ". B. Alexander presided at the meeting Judge I. M. Elliott was the star attraction of the even- ing and was given 8 respectful hear ing. Not so, however, with Mir. ". B. Sorrells, the next speaker, who was given "a rough house, "and was interrupted so often that he could be heard with great difficulty Judge Jones was the next speaker, who, though often interrupted, kept the good will of his audience by telling jokes and by drawing copiously from Bob Taylor's Tales and Lee lures. The next speaker introduced was Mr. Creed Caldwell, but the aud fence laughted and kooted and the Hon. Creed did not feel much like speaking in such a forlorn cause any how, and quit he.platform. Then Col. Edwin Kerwin, of thunderOus tones, dramatic attitude and curly hair like unto that which adorns the head of a egii.islander, sought to entertain a restless and impati ent audience. The burden of his song was that the editor of tue Graphic is the brother-in-law of Edgar Brewster, and that Sam Taylor is the brother-in-law of D. c. Bell. and therefore Mccoy ought to be elected. The Col. showed that with few more years of practice be- fore the Pine Bluff Oratorical Asso- citation, and with a decade or two of reading aud study he might say something that would interest some body, and out of gratitude for the free advertisement he gave the Graphic, we are pleased to introduce him to fame.
 Mir. Garland Streett was thenIintro- dueed and in a few moments was without an audience, It had follow ed Gen. White to the corner of Main and Second. What Mir. Streett said was ''sweetness wasted on the desert air"
 The Mccoy speech making was concluded by H. R. c. Foster, of Mississippi fame, who after a few denunciatory remarks took his seat and the "band played on. and started on it's march to break up the meeting at Main and Second. where it came to sudden and unexpected stop, as above described.

 Mir. Fox concluded amid wild ap plause and then introduced the Hon. J. W. Crawford
 MR. CRAwFoRD's SPEECH. Mr. Crawford began by saying that county politics had become de- degraded, and he considered it the duty of every who had a voice to condemn the wrongs that have been committed; to have the courage to speak out and dare maintain his rights. We are con- fronted with a moment tous ques- tion-whether the people shall be controlled by a machine, and shall be allowed to carry out its will over the party. Are we to be dictated to by a machine? the speaker asked. Edgar Brewster is the only Democratic nominee flor Sheriff, and having been selected in two primaries, there could be no other, but the voice of the people has been stihed and their will set aside by a partisan proxied com mittee.
 The speaker then reviewed the late political contest at length, showing the glaring wrongs com mitted, the failure of Chairman Triplett to iegalize the first pri- mary, the latter's decision in re fusing to investigate the frauo and

The political speaking in front of the court house last Saturday. night, came near breaking up in a general row.
 During the addresses of the long list of Mccoy speakers the crowd became inpatient and ,resteless, and at Enearly every reference to Bell, . King White, etc, the crowd would burst out in yell for Bell" and King White.
 Efforts were made by Mir. Bell and others to quiet the audience, MT. Bell mounted the court house steps and requested the audience to give the speakers a respectful hear ing, to but little effect.
 Finally at 11:10 o'clock, when Mir. Garland Street was introduced, the audience suspicioned that the Me- Coy speakers were endea7oring to prolong their speaking in order to prevent Gen. White from being heard. Then some one ran a wagon into the crowd, and Gen. White mounted it and stated that he would address those who desired to near him at the corner of Main and Second. The wagon, mounted by ten. White and Mr. John Ruther- ford, was pulled by enthusiastic sup porters to the corner and nearly all the crowd followed it.
 MT. Street continued his speech to his few hearers, while General White addressed nearly 800 citizens at the corner of Main and Second street.
 At 1l:30 the speaking at the court house concluded. and MeCoy's fol- lowers, headed by their band, started to march south on Main street. Immediately someone in the White crowd shouted to line up. Instantly a line was drawn across the street.
 The band continued it's march to the corner. Then Mr. F. J. Hearin ran up and informed the leader of the band that it would be dangerous
 
 to proceed further. Messrs Vest brook and Murray urged the band tolgo on, but the leader said they came here to make music, not to get into trouble. In the meantime Messrs Murray, Westbrook and Hearin became involved in an alter- ation. Faiends stepped in and took Mir. Westbrook East on Second to State street, while MT, Murray

escorted the band back to the hotel. and the danger of difficulty was happily over.
 But as Gen. White and several others were carrying Mr. West brook away to prevent trouble Mir. Will Andrews stepped up and struck Gen. White oyer the head with cane-some say bludgeon. MT. Andrews was in turn knocked down, some say by Gen White, and others by by-stander. There are so many conflicting reports of the matter that it is almost impos, sible to get the straight of it. Gen Whites wound was slight, and was dressed by Dr. Waters.
 Another difficulty was narrowly averted, Mr. Frank Hanna and Saadifer Currie became involved in a difficulty. The former struck at the latter when Mr. Currie reached for his ''gun", but by-stan6ers in- terfered and prevented trouble.
 It vas an exciting time-the like of vt ch was probably never witt nessel in this city before, and we hog will never happen again. It was due to cool and courageous heads that serious trouble was averted.

 Have any of you forgotten the eloquent plea which appeared in the Arkansas Gazette few Sundays ago, for honest elections, of good Father Luccy? That man has lived in your midst more than quarter of a century and has been loyal to his country in war and in peace. He has served his country and is serving his God and his mis- sion on this earth is charity and peace and good will to men. That man stated in an article to the Ga1> zette, which vas endorsed by it aph the leading Democratic journals aInN over the state, that the theft of the ballot was the father of the mob, the father of perjury and the father of all sorts of crimes. There is n mar, gentlemen. whom this com munity loves; there is a voice you cannot stife. He is a man of God, and speaks from his heart. Shall we go back upon the counsel of that man when ne is speaKIng D truth that will live after him? God bless him.
