INTENSE SUFFERING
FROM DYSPEPSIA AND STOMACH
 TROUBLE
Instantly Relieved and Permanently Cured By Stuart's Dyspepsia
 Tablets.
New Discovery, But Not Patent
 Medicine.

Dr. Redwell relates an interesting account of what he considers a remarkable cure of acute stomach trouble and chronic dyspep- sa by the use of the new discovery, Stu- arts Dyspepsia Tablets.
 He says; "The patient was a man who had suffered, to my knowledge for years with dyspepsia Everything he ate seemed to sour and create gases in the stomach; he had pains like rheumatism in the back, shoulder blades and limbs. fullness and dis tress after eating, poor appetite and loss of flesh; the heart became affected. causing palpitation and sleeplessness at night.
 'I gave him powerful nerve tonics and blood remedies, but to no purpose. As an experiment. finally bought 5O-cent pack age of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at a drug store and gave them to him. Almost immediate relief was given, and after he had used four boxes he was, to all appear ances, fully cured.
 There was no more acidity or sour wa tery risings no bloating after meals; the appetite was vigorous, and he has gained between ten and twelve pounds in weight of solid. healthy flesh.
 Although Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are advertised and sold in drug stores, yet [ consider them most valuable addition to any physician's line of remedies, as they perfectly harmless, and can be given to children or invaids or In any condition of the stomach with perfect safety, being harmless and containing nothing but fruit and vegetable essences, pure pepsin and Golden Seal
 "Without any question, they are the saf- est, most effective cure for indigestion. bil- iousness, constipation, and all derange- ments of the stomach however slight or severe"
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are made by the F. A. Stuart Co.,, of Marshall, Mich, and are sold by druggists everywhere at 50 cents per package.

Will Contest For Secretary of Constitu-

Selma, April 6.-(Specal.)-Th friends of L. L. Mckee have urged him to be can didate for secretary of the constitutional convention, if called, and now institute ing a vigorous campaign for him.
 Since the announcement of his name many letters have been received assuring him of support.
 It goes without saying that the passage of the act calling a convention was due to MT. McKees skillful management more than any other man in the state outside of the legislature.
 MT. Mckee is an educated, cultured man, and is an expert in clerical work. One prominent man, a former president of the senate of Alabama, said of MT. Mckee that since the days of Clay no better man can be found for the secretaryship of the con yention. s sfigT7gT H

COMMISSIONERS
 COME TO RESCUE
Waive Right to Sign County
 Warrants.
CREDITORS WILL BE PAID
Board of Revenue Had Refused to Sign Warrants and Then Turn Them Over For Signatures of the
 Commissioners.

| The county commissioners have come to
 the rescue of the countys creditors by
 waiving the right to sign the warrants of
 the board of revenue, without prejudice to
 their cause, thereby placing the blame for
 the disastrous complications which would
 have otherwise resulted upon the latter l board.
 l It will be remembered that at a meeting
 of the board of revenue on Tuesday 1t was
 decided that no more warrants would be
 issued unless the county treasurer would
 agree to pay them without the endorse
 ment of the county commissioners.
 In order to protect the treasurer and to l relieve the situation of the ineonveniences, which would result to the employees and
 creditors of the county, 1t had previously
 been agreed that both boards would sign
 the warrants, pending final decision Of the case testing the constitutionality of the l act abolishing the court of county commis- sioners and creating the board of revenue.
 County Treasurer Hawkins was called
 before the meeting and the situation ex- | plained to him. He asked that he be allow | ed time to consult his attorney, which was I granted. On Wednesday the board of revenue adjourned until the first Monday | in may, or subject to the call of the presi- dent without having provided for the pay
 ment of the employees and other current expenses.
 At a meeting of the county commissioners | yesterday the following order was spread l upon the minutes of the court:
 Action of Commissioners "Having been informed that a body
 known as the revenue board of the county
 of Jefferson, have positively refused to is- sue warrants to parties holding accounts against the county unless the treasurer of
 said county will promptly pay said war
 rants without reference to the indorsement of this board of county commissioners, which the treasurer has asked for for his protection, thereby entailing great hardship on parties to whom the county is indebted
 especially to county employees who require their wages for the purchase of daily bread.
 Therefore, this board of county commis- sioners, having the interest of the citizens of the county, to whom the county is in-
 debted, at heart, rather than their own personal interests, We do hereby authorize Kenneth F. Hawgins, treasurer of this county, to pay all warrants issued by the so-called board of revenue and this board of county commissioners will sane tion, indorse and protect said treasurer in
 the payment of all claims which are legal charges against the county, salaries of the so-called board of revenue excepted. "It is not to be understood that this action
 on our part is to be taken or accepted as relinquishment of any right we hold under our tenure of office commissioners of
 the county, any admission on our part
 of the legality of the so-called board of revenue
 And this order is spread upon the
