THE PRESIDENT

Given an Enthusiastic Reception
 at East Liverpool.
HE MAKES A HAPPY SPEECH
Declares That Despite His Absence for Four Years He Still Retains the Old Time Regard for His
 Former Constituents

East Liverpool, O., August 29.-Six years ago tonight William Mckinley, then gov ernor, opened his campaign for a second term from Colonel John Taylor's porch, and the fact was recalled when Congress- man Taylor, who now represents the old McKFinley district in congress, spoke from the same porch this evening, welcoming the president back to the old eighteenth district. Seven thousand people thronged the grounds and streets about the Taylor homestead In response the president said;
 "As voice appreciation of this welcome, cannot help recalling that from this very place, year in and year out, have met this people. and they have always given me the same generous greeting. You have al- ways been firm in your friendship for me, and though I have been absent for more than four years, that regard feel for you has never abated."
 Mrs. Mckinley came out on the porch for a minute to bow to the crowd, and was given an ovation. The demonstration con- tinued for an hour.
 Aside from tonight's reception the presi- dent and his wife spent a quiet day, driv- ing out once or twice. Tomorrow morning at 10:30 the party leaves for Canton.

MRS. EDDINS INJURED
Tuscaloosa Lady Badly Hurt by Wagon
 Yesterday

Tuscaloosa, August 29.-(Special.) )-Mrs. Martha J. Eddins was knocked down this morning by buggy and team, and was So badly injured she may die.
 MT. Frank Clements was driving a pair of mules, and not seeing Mrs. Eddins until almost upon her. he jerked them back so suddenly that the head of one struck her and knocked her down, breaking the knob of her hip bone.
 Some assert that the tongue of the ve- hicle struck her, which caused the injury. Mrs. Eddins is one of the best-known la dies of Tuscaloosa, and has been with near ly every family in the town fin their sor- row. She is one of the landmarks of the county having been the friend of most of the parents of the present generation, and the distressing accident causes universal grief.
 MT Clements Is very unhappy and quite undone over the occurrence. It is not known that the injury to Mrs. Eddins will prove fatal, but the consequences are fear ed, as she suffers intense pain, and the shock is great at her advanced years Her daughters, Mrs. Hugh Kirkman of New York and Mrs Thomas H. Watts of Mont gomery, have been telegraphed for.

say that he should have notified the state superintendent of education of the matter at once, and not to have gone on with the examination.
 When an Age-Herald representative call ed on MT. Hackworth Sunday and asked him about the published account, he most emphat atically denied that the papers had been tempered with. He admitted that he, together with James l.. Hackworth and Professor Bridges, opened and divided the examination papers in order to accommo- date the teachers at the preparatory school on the mountain at Pisgah. He stated most positively that the blanks were kept under lock and key. and that no one could gain access to them. Mir. Hackworth says that before making a separation of the blanks he consulted two of the most able lawyers at the Scottsboro bar, and they told him that the majority should be &C., commodated, or words to that effect.
 MT. Hackworth also stated that he had written to the state superintendent and explained the situation, and had requested two lots of blanks, and that at the last moment had received word that he could not furnish them, but to open the exam nations at the prescribed time and then take part to Pisgah. which he did. Mr. Hackworth claims to have violated no law and that he acted in good faith. He also stated that a forged letter had been writ ten to the state superintendent by some party at Pfsgah, staing that fraud had being indulged in in the examinations. This letter was signed by James Cham bers, and that it was a forgery, as MT. Chambers denies writing it. Mir. Hack worth is a candidate for reelection, and thinks this is done to defeat him.

DIR. KlLMER'S SWAMP-R00T
IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR EV-
 ERYTHING.
But if You Have Kidney or Bladder Trouble It Will Be Found Just
 the Remedy You Need.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kidneys are out of order or diseased.
 Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child Ito be born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the child urinates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh. or if, when the child reaches an age when 1t should be able to control the passage, and it is yet afflicted with bed- wetting, depend upon 1t, the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose
 So we find that women as we'll as men are made miserable with kidney and blad- der trouble and both need the same remedy, The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fifty-cent and one dollar sizes. You may have a sample bottle by mail free, also pamphlet telling all about it, including many of the thousands of testim onial letters received from sufferers cured.

 Very favorable weather conditions pre- vailed in Iowa, Missouri and Kansas.
 The condition of corn in the states of the central Mississippi and Ohio valleys is previous week, owing to continued absence of moisture, which has conduced to too rapid maturity. The weather conditions have been more favorable and the crop reports indicate generally that the crop has made rapid advancement toward ma- turity While reports of rust and shedding in cotton are somewhat less numerous in the eastern portion of the cotton belt In the central and western districts the reports of rust and shedding continued un- diminished, premature opening being quite generally reported in the last named dis tricts, where there is a quite general de- terioration condition of the crop.
 Favorable progress has been made in cut ting and house tobacco, which work is generally well advanced. The late crop needs rain in Pennsylvania and Kentucky. The previous report in the favorable out look for apples continues, although some varieties, principally the early, are abund- ant in portions of Nebraska, Kansas, Illi- nois, Indiana, and the middle Atlantic states, and South New England.

 HaCkworth's Alleged Irregulari- ties News to Little Town. ACCUSED DENIES HIS GUILT He Has Many Friends Who Say That Although Innocent of Any Wrong
 Intentions He Was
 Very Indiscreet

Scottsboro, August 2s.-CSpecial) )-The news of the Irregularities in the office of County Superintendent of Education Charles Hackworth, of this place, fell like a clap of thunder from a clear sky.
 It was generally known that two exami- nations were conducted on the same day in June last, one at Pisgah, on the noun tain, where there was summer school being conducted for teachers, and one at Scottsboro. Professor Charles Hackworth conducted the one on the mountain, and James Hackworth, with the assistance of others, conducted the one here No one at the time the examinations were conducted made mention of the fact that the exam nations should be held at one place, and all thought that by holding the two apart would greatly facilitate matters for the teachers that lived on the mountain across the river.
 Since the affair has come to light it is currently reported that the examination papers had been tempered with, and that MT. Hackworth was aware of it, before the examination was held. While MT. Hackworth has. many sympa thizers, they

ment that the adherents of JIminez are ad- vising him not to come to Santo Domingo for the present. What the people are clamoring for is not mere change in the political personnel, but good government with financial solvency, with which they associate the Idea of American annexation or protectorate.
 This, MT. Clarke adds, Is the whole pres ent object of the revolution, and the indus trial and commercial conditions are such that the entire nation endorses the annex ation scheme as the only real solution. The government censorship prevents corre- spondents from sending out the truth, and the same applies to Hayti, which sympa- thetically desires the suppression of the revolution.

cULvER's CROP ESTIMATE
The Cotton Yield Will Not be as Large
 as Was Expected

Montgomery, August 29.-cSpecial. .)-Com- missioner of Agriculture I. F. Culver has issued the following estimate of Ala bama's crops. based on last years yield for the same date:
 Corn crop, 9S per cent, 3 per cent off, Potatoes-Sweet, 100 per cent. Peas-Field, 105 per cent, per cent. bet ter
 Sugar cane, 100. per cent.
 Sorghum, 100 per cent.
 Ground peas, 100 per cent.
 Cotton, 73 per cent, N per cent. off. Add 8 per cent. less acreage, than last year. and % per cent. less commercial fer tilizers sold and used, will lessen the crop of cotton. With this reduction in acreage and fertilizers, too, at least 30 or 40 per cent. off from last years crop. Five weeks ago the prospects over the state were fine for cotton crop. The ex- cessive rains in some counties, rust, blight, boil worms and heat did the work of cut ting off the crop.
 There are very few localities from which come good reports, but a very large majority report from 25 to as low as 50 per cent. off from last years crop. I have made a personal canvass of a number of counties in the cotton belt of the state, and upon a careful examination of the fields of cotton I am fully satisfied that the reports are true. The cotton is today still rusting and blighting, and 1t may be that the report will come still lower than re- ported.
 In some localities one-half the crop Is now open. If the farmers keep up with it,
 
 prediction is that the crop will be gath cred by the middle of October, and then farmers will have ample time to plant wheat, oats, rye and barley.
