TWO FIRES IN FLORENCE.
Political Pot Boiling Over With New Candidates
 in Louderdale.
Special to the Age-Herald.

Florence, Ala, March 17-An alarm of fire yesterday morning at 10 o'clock brought the department and a large crowd to North Court street, in the heart of the business center of the town, where a dense cloud of smoke was pouring from the building oc- cupied by c. M. Southall, druggist, sta tioner and musical instrument dealer.
 The fire was in the cellar, where a lighted match dropped by a careless negro DOT ter had set fire to barrel of varnsh, and it took half an hours hard fighting to sub- due the flames. The damage by fire is nominal but water and smoke caused con- siedrable loss. The cellar was flooded eighteen inches in water before the fire was extinguished, and all this had to be pump ed out. The building was owned by Mrs. J. W. Morgan, and the large stock carried by MT. SouthaN was insured for S65OO, car ried by several companies. The loss will amount probably to s750 all told.
 Fire early yesterday morning also de- stroyed the frame and log residence be- longing to David Jones, six and half miles from the city, on the Waterloo road. The residence was one of tho oldest In the coun- ty, and has been added to from time to time by different owners. until 1t was at the time regarded as one of the best in Lauderdale county. The house was occu- pied by family named Allen, who had barely time to escape with their lives when the fire was discovered. The house and all the furniture was completely destroyed, and there is thought to be no insurance upon either.
 The county executive committee has called the beat meetings for the selection of delegates to the county convention for the 9th day of April and the county conT vention for the 18th. The political pot is boiling over just now, and new candidates are sprfnging up every day. Ioday J. J. Mitchell and Henry A. Killcn announced for reelection to the lower house, of the state legislature. They are the only candi- dates so far

WHAT IS THE GRIP?
It Is Certainly a Most Mysterious Disease, but
 Its Real Cause Is Clearly Explained.

Investigation has shown that nearly every family in the city has had at least one of it's members attacked by the grip, but it seems to be coming in a different formt this year than ever heretofore. Men pains in the arms, limbs and about the back and a general lack of appetite anl ambition.
 Now, all this proves clearly just where tho cause of the grip is located. Have you ever seen sewer or drain coogged up after Q heavy rain? It is precisely this way with tine grip. The kidneys get clogged up ard tho poisonous acids which should pass from the system are thrown back until finally they get into the blood and so poison the whole body
 Real1 what the eminent Dr. Hamilton has to say upon this subject Ut is clear" says he "that in order to drive grip and similar poisons from the system it is only necessary to open up the sewers; in other words, to put the kidneys in perfect work ing order so that they will carry these podsons away instead of allowing them to clog up and ruin the blood, and, unfor- tunate1y, this is not altogether an easy thing to do.
 '"rhere Is, so far as. the medical profes- sion and science knew, but one discovery that will quickly and effectually open up the kidneys and at the same time soothe theun. That discovery, which has cured so mary thousands of men and women; wfdch Is keeping so many in perfect health today, and which .s used so universally the world over Is Warq,er's Safe Cure. It Is recommended and used by the highest medical authorities both abroad and in America. It can be taken by the most aged person and tine tiniest c9aid with beneficial effect for 1t IS perfectly pure ana harmless. Prof. Beyer of Geunany, Dr. William Edward Robson of England and pr. Gum, of New York, are all promi- neuM men who speak in the highest terms of this great remedy. If you have any symptoms of the grip, let me advise you to act promptly. for you wtl find that Safe Cure will relieve you quickly, take yea from a condition of misery and put you on the road to health.

2, 1898, eighteen months after he had retired from office and more than two years after it was due the state. The retaining of this money for so long a period is In violation of section 39?S of the code of 1886 (5115 of the code of 1S96)
 While it does not relieve MT. Slaughter of official responsibility nor excuse the remissness noted, it is due to him to state that he gave the office but little personal attention, having left its management al- most wholly to others"
 On his investigatiofi of the books of Thomas J. Emmons, the present circuit clerk of Monroe county, Examiner Puritoy reports the existence of an ugly state ol affairs. An extract from the report In the governors office expiains
 ''In the matter of taxing and collecting feed bills in cases of conviction where judgment is confessed for the fine and costs; he has failed to tax and collect such in sundry cases noted in statement hereto attached, marked exhibit A. aggregating $154 en which there is accured interest amounting to S29. .91. He has also failed to tax and collect a removal bill amounting to $3S.5S, also shown in exhibit A, in the case of Ellis Davidson, convicted in the circuit court, spring term 1895, and Judgment con- fessed in his case for fine and costs. For all these sums MT. Emmons is responsible to the state for their payment. He plead ignorance and precedent for his failure to tax and collect feed bills, and that the re- moval bill was not reported to him by the sheriff. The imparting of these excuses is clear when it is known that no feed bill is allowed by the state auditor uiI less accom- panied.-by the certificate of fle clerk as to it's correctness and that eh each case of conviction the cost of feeding defendant while in jail, has been taxed by him as part of the costs of the case" and in the case of removal bills the auditor never al- lows one unless accompanied by the cer- tifcate of the clerk that case was pend- ing against the party removed and that the fees so paid have been docketed against the prisoner MT Emmons ceri- ficates are attached, as indicated above, to all the bills with which he is charged here in.
 Exhibit B is a. statement of solicitors fees aggregating $165 in cases of convic- tion where judgment is confessed and am- pie time for their collection by execution has elapsed, but they have not been paid into the state treasury. reason why these fees have not been reported and paid into the state treasury should be assigned by the clerk.
 Exhibit c is a statement of solicitors fees aggregating S225 in cases where the defendants have been sentenced to hard labor for the county, and in all but two of which ample time has elapsed, no doubt, for the collection of the entire amount due for the hire of the convict.
 Exhibit D shows five removal bills az gregating $97.25, none of which are charged up as costs. The clerk is responsible to the state for the whole or any part of such fees that might have been collected had they been charged up as costs"
