ALEXANDER REPLIES.
Says the Charges Made Against Him is
 the Work of Youngblood.

 To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Attalla, Aug 6.-The special from Wash- ington in today's Age-Herald charging United States c: mmissioner C. D. Alex ander with a long catagory of crime in the administration of his office and in cidentally scoring Judge Bruce, created very little surprise here, and was given no credence whatever, as it is a matter of history that the whole so-called investlga- tion was a farce conceived to gratify per sonal spite with Wm. Youngblood and some lesser lights as chief investigators. The special examiner who made the original examination some months since and upon whose report the present charges are based were sent here for a purpose, as was amply proven by the methods em- ployed by them in securing evidence which was travesty on justice.
 MT. Alexander still retains his office and has received no advice of any charges be- ing filed against him. In fact he treats the matter with perfect indifference and pro- poses to see the thing out.

Mrs. MARY BoLLINeER, 1101 Marianna St., Chicago, H., to Mrs. Pinkham:
 1T have been troubled for the past two years with falling of the womb, leucorrhoa, pains over my body, sick headaches, baclsache, nervousness and weakness. tried doctors and various remedies without relief. After taking two bottles of your Vegetable Com- pound, the relief obtained was truly wonderful. have now taken several more bottles of your famous medicine, and can say that am entirely cured"
 Mrs. HENRY DoRR, No. s06 Findley St., Cincinnati, Ohio, to Mrs. Pinkham
 "For long time I suffered with chronic inflammation of the womb, pain in abdomen and bearing-down feeling. Was very nervous at times, and so weak I was hardly able to do any thing. Was subject to headaches, also troubled with leucorrhea. After doc toring for many months with different physicians, and getting no relief, had given up all hope of being well again when I read of the great good Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Com pound was doing. l decided immedi- ately to give it trial. The result was simply past belief After taking four bottles of Vegetable Compound and using three packages of Sanative Wash I can say feel like new woman. l deem it my duty to announce tho fact to my fellow sufferers that Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable remedies have entirely cured me of all my pains and suffering. I have her alone to thank for my recovery, for which am grate' ful. May heaven bless her for the good work she is doing for our sex"

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.
 Carrollton, Aug. 6.-Monday's election passed quietly. No disturbance of conse- quence has ben reported. Although the campaign was conducted quietly, and but little interest appeared on the surface, there was undercurrent of enthusiasm which manifested itself on election day in one of the largest votes in the history of the county The populist defeat was crush ing, and whatever may be the opinion of their leaders as to the influences used to compass their defeat no substantial charges are made as to unfair or unlawful means. The democratic majority for pro- bate judge is 3O5.
 In 1896, the democratic majority of Col. M L. Stansel for the legislature over G. S. Youngblood, popuist, was 2S2. The re- suit was a great surprise to the populists, as much confidence had been expressed by them. Great credit in the campaign is due to the able and tireless chairman of the party, Hon. M. B. Curry. This is his third term as chairman, and the party has not known defeat under his management. He has never for a moment feared defeat. Cool and prudent an excellent organizer, and having the power to inspire enthusi- asm, he is formidable leader.
