Grubbs and HiIdredth, of Decatur, Roasting
 ... Each Other.
Special to The Age-Herald.


 Decatur, Ala, March 24.-There is blood on the moon in newspaper circles here, that is if one man has any fight in him. For some months past there has been bad feeling between L. Hensley Grubbs, editor of the Decatur News, and c. J. Hildreth of the New Decatur Advertiser. It cul- minated in a bitter personal newspaper at tack by Hilderth on Dr, Grubbs.
 The latter for several weeks paid no att tention to it,, for. the reason, as he told the correspondent, that he was waiting to catch Hildreth out of his office and cow hide him, The News in the morning will contain reply to Hlldreth, couched in language which would make the most craven coward on earth fight if he has a spark of manhood in him.
 It is written, in Grubbs' >most scathing style, literally fiaying Hildreth alive. One paragraph says that i've will not disgrace the canine tribe by coupling one of the species with Hildretl1's maternal origin. ," It closes by putting Hildreth on notice that he is billed for two public whippings.

Texas Cattle Profits
pm the Syracuse Courier:

From the Syracuse Courier:
 A man of wit and business shrewdness need not go to the Klondike to make a fortune suddenly nowadays. There seems to be as much money in Texas cattle as there is in Kansas wheat and more than in Klondke air castles A Kansas City firm has just closed a big deal with a Texas cattle raiser which is rather conclusive proof of the resources of this country. A herd of 27,000 head of cattle has been sold to the Kansas City dealers for 900. The Texan who engineered the deal bought the animals four mcnths ago for $432, oO) and has cleared $109,00 by the transaction.
 There is money in the country and there are opportunities for making money if on6 possesses the commercial sacumen and tho grit necessary to take advantage of thcm4 Cattle raising on the abandoned or i'm. poverished farms in the-east may not bel proftable,s owing to western competition < but in the southwest 1t seems to be an in4 dustry that pays handsome dividends on the energies devoted te.it.E
 The millions invested in outfits ana transportation fares by the thousands of adventurers swarming inte the ice-bound Yukon region would return more certain profits if wisely expended in less precari- ous enterprises within Gods country. We must have food and we must depend for the greater, part of our meat and bread upon the woody west, which has given con vincing evidence of it's bountiful resources during the last few seasons.

Construction company. The facts are, that of the 900 sued for by Quigley & Co. $51 900 was never at any time in dispute, but was rendered Quigley & Co. and held subject to their order by the Hanover Con- struction company ready for payment at any time notwithstanding Quigley & Co. abandoned their three large contracts in an unfinished state and which the Hanover company completed at it's own cost and ex- pense In the various articles published about this suit, in many important papers throughout the country, grave reflection was made upon the Hanover Construction
 company, Capt. H. P Farrar chief en-
 gineer, and other engineers of the Hanover company, of the highest character and pro- fessional attachments, charging that inn proper classification and estimates were \ made by the engineers for the benefit of the Hanover company, and with the con
 niVance or collision of Capt. Farrar and
 his subordinates. How much truth there
 may have been in these charges is, shown
 sS,s00 in full discharge of their claim of $l44-
 900 made for classification and forfeited profits
 All construction contracts of the Hanover company will be faithfully carried out by the Mobile and Ohio Railroad company with full and hearty cooperation and as- sistance, whenever required of the general contractor, J. W. Woolfolk.
 The Mobile and Ohio company will put into operation at the earliest practicable
 moment, the division between Columbus, Miss, and Tuscaloosa and within sixty days the whole line from Columbus to Montgomery with both coal branches. There are yet about forty miles of track to be laid. and about eighty miles to sur face. All bridges are completed, and the depot buildings, section houses, shops, round houses and telegraph line nearly so.

A POPULAR MISTAKE.
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia and In-
 digestion.

digestion.
 The national disease of Americans is in- digestion or in its chronic form, dyspepsia and for the very reason that it is so com nor many people neglect taking proper treatment for what they consider trifing stomach trouble, when matter of fact, indigestion lays the foundation for many ircurable diseases, No person with a wig orous. healthy stomach will fall victim to consumption. Many kidney diseases and heart troubles date their beginning from poor digestion; thin, nervous people are really because their stomachs are out of gear; weary, languid, faded out women owe their condition to imperfect diges- ton.
 When nearly every person you meet Is afflicted with weak digestion 1t is not sur pi ising that nearly every secret patent medicine on the market claims to be cure for dyspepsia, as well as a score of other troubles, when in fact, as Dr Wethier says, there is but one genuine dyspepsia cure which is perfectly safe and reliable and moreover, this remedy Is not patent medi- cine, but it Is a scientific combination of pure pepsin Gree from auimal matter) veg etable essences, fruit salts and bismuth It is sold by druggists under name of Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets No extravaga mt claims are made for them, but for indiges- tion or any stomach trouble, Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets are far ahead of any remedy yet discovered, They act on the food eaten, no dieting is necessary, simply eat all the wholesome food you want and these tablets will digest it. A cure results, because all the stomach needs is a rest, which Stuart 3 Dyspepsia Tablets give by doing the work of digestion.
 Druggists sell these tablets at 5Octs per package. Little book on stomach diseases and testimonials sent free by addressing Stuart Co.,, chemists, Marshall, Mich.

 Paid the Bill.
Special to The Age-Herald.

Montgomery, March A.-IIxaminer Cowan has fled his report on the books and &C., counts of Tax Collector Davis, of Walker county which is as follows:
 q find that on account of errors and omis- sions in the assessment of 1896 MT. Davis is due the state the sum of $463 commis- sions having been deducted, and interest to date added.
 'The Investigation further shows that MT. Davis has never had a final settlement with the county officials for 1S96 and that he is due the county the sum of $1,7S54
 'Mr. Davis states under oath that he did not settle with the county officials at the end of the tax year of 1896 because he was then of the opinion that the assess ment books of that year were erroneous ana that he had not been properly charged, that he requested the board of county com missioners at the time to have an examina- tion of the books made in order that he might settle, but this was not done
 'Since this examination was finished MT. Davis has paid over to the county treas urer the above balance and informs ma that he will immediately remit the amount due the state.'

THE STATE EXCHANGES.

From the Tuscumbia Dispatch: Give us good schools in Alabama, and then you can see the democratic party's majority double itself. Ignorance causes a great many to be republicans who would other wise be democrats in this section.
 =
 From the Tuscaloosa Times: Good roads, good schools and new constitution are the living demands of the day.
 From the Sulligent Lightning: Alabama needs compulsory education law. There are old men, young men, old women. young women, boys and girls by the score, in this county who can't read a word. This truth makes an educated man feel like he had taken a dose of ipecac. And they don't want to learn. Ignorance with them is bliss. Any man who can't read news paper ought not be allowed to vote. There are educated hogs in every circus who have more right to vote than a man who can't read There is no excuse for being unable to read. A determination to do so Is the requisite; schools are not the only place to study.
 From the Sheffield Reaper: The pol iticians are doing everything they can to obscure the agitation for better schools. They know that an educated people would overthrow them.
 From the Mobile Herald: We would like to know what are the views of our candi- dates for the legislature in regard to a new constitution. We believe that most if not all of them, favor a new constitution but if any candidate does not, we believe that he should let the people know why he does

The appearance of the candidates riding around the county, and talking only to the white people, at the same time of so much war talk, has aroused consld- eraible fear among the negroes. The latter took the idea in their hlslads that those cam didaJues were people learning the names and places of residence of -ach colord man in the county, for the purpose of preparing a list to be submitted to the war department.

the protectorate of Great Britain over

London, Oct. 27.-Aithough nothing
official has transpired regarding the
deliberations of the Cabinet council

The Daily Mail understands that an

which removes all danger of friction
with France.
The Cabinet of Great Britain has de-
cided that there can be no question of
any concession in the nature Of an
outlet to the Nile for France. The
whole valley of the Nile must be re-

granted to France as to the world gem
