FLORENCE
Cotton Coming in at Lively Rate-Other
 Interesting Items

Florence, October 6.-(Specdal. )-Cotton has been coming in very lively this week, and the farmers are making an effort to sell as fast as they can secure hands to pick the crop. Owing to a good deal of sickness in the county, cotton hands are at premium. There is a war on between the cotton buyers of the city and the Ash craft Cotton Mills, owners of the round lap bale ginnery. The cotton buyers agreed yesterday not to sell any cotton to the Cherry Cotton Mills unless this concern re- fused to buy roundlap cotton from the Ash craft mills, but Col. N F. Cherry, president Of the Cherry Mills, who is also a director in the Ashcraft Cotton Mills, refused to abide by the arbitrary decision of the cot ton buyers, and made arrangements to se- cure the supply for his mill from a Shef- field firm, who will sell them cotton from other points under the local price paid in Florence. The severe competition in the past several years has caused the prices in Florence to go higher than at other points in north Alabama.

NOT IMAGIN AIRY
A Common Disease, Which is by Nc
 Means the Result of Imagination

Undoubtedly many nervous people suffer from troubles purely imaginary; diseases which exist only in the mind of the patient, and such troubles furnish a fertile field for the quack as well as for faith healers and Christian Science treatment.
 However, there is one common and an moving disease which Is in no sense of the word imaginary and that is, Piles.
 Pile sufferers do not need physician to tell them what is the matter; there Is no obscurity about it. Neither will a simple lotion or ointment cure it. You cannot de- ceiye a pile sufferer into believing he Is being cured, because the pain and itching from which he suffers is not imaginary and cannot be cured by imagination. A pile remedy must have unmistakabie merit, 1t must relieve the pain and cure the disease speedily or it will be condemned.
 Mr. w. N. Dunn of 5719 Shields avenue, Chicago, writes: 'I am indebted to the Pyramid Pile Cure thousand times Tor the speedy relief and permanent cure of a severe case of piles 1 was cured perfectly with one 50 cent box and more than that still have three of the Pyramids left of the box I did not need to use.
 'I think the Pyramid Pile Cure is the grandest thing of the age and shall cer- tainly recommend it to all sufferers.
 "The manufacturers of the Pyramid Pile Cure are at perfect liberty to refer any person to me and 1 will gladly answer any correspondence. I am so grateful for my cure that I want all pile sufferers to find the same relief"
 All druggists sell the Pyramid Pile Cure at 50 cents per box and as it contains nc cocaine, opiate or any poison whatever is entirely safe and reliable.

Anti-SpittiIig Law

The Montgomery anti-spitting law went into effect today, and those who are habit ual expectorators have been kept near the curbstone. Several times during the day. however, the policemen have been forced to notify the corner loafers that the law Is effective today, and had the law been strictly enforced, the city would have been richer by several fines.
 The ordinance was passed on September by vote of to g. and approved by the Mayor September 6. Much comment has been made because of the conduct of the Alderman introducing the ordinance. Speak ing of the matter this morning, a well known citizen said:
 Tt appears strange to me that an AL derman will introduce a bill providing for the cleanliness of sidewalks, when the grocery firm of which the Alderman Is member, blockades sidewalks with greasy meat, dirty salt and all other groceries, creating @ filthy nuisance much greater than all the expectoration in the city. If the anti-spitting law Is not enforced more rigidly than the law against blockading sidewalks, it had as well never been passed"

Miss Matte B. Curtis, Secretary Le- zion of Loyal Women, also treasurer of the Craddock Club, writes in Q recent letter to Dr. Hartman, from Hotel Salem, Boston, Mass, the following: -.
 "I suffered for over q year with gem eraI weakness and debility manifested especially in severe bRckache and headache. sss'
 "My physician prescribed different medicines, none Of which seemed 10 help me any, until a club associate advised me 10 try Peruna, as # cured her of constitutional headache and stomach troubles.

 I have taken four bottles and for two months have been entirely free from these maIadies.

 MA TIE CURTIS, Boston, Mass.
 The first twelve years of woman'a life she is not so subject to disease and bodily Arrangements as a man.
 But, from the age of puberty (which usually occurs when she is about four. teen years of age) until after she has passed the change of life (when she is, as a rule, forty-eight years old) the woman is much more subject to functional dis orders than the man.
 The peculiar Arrangements to which { woman is liable between these two criti cal periods of her life, all have one cause
The age-herald., 1900-10-07

namely, disturbances of the organs pc. culiar to her sex.
 The mucous membranes lining these organs are exceedingly sensitive and are constantly liable to catarrhal dis. turbances.
 From early girlhood to old age, few women are entirely free from some degree of catarrh of these organs.
 Thisresults in many ailments to which the man is not liable.
 Peruna is the only remedy SO far de- vised by the medical profession to cor rect this tendency.
 No woman should be without Peruna With Peruna the thousand and one ail' ments dependent upon catarrh of the pelvic organs can be wholly averted.
 For all of that class of disorders known as female diseases, Peruna is without g rival, because it strikes at the source oi these diseases.

Henry Watters0n Believes Free
Silver Buried and DemOcra-
cy VIII Rise Again.

Jacksonham, Fla, Nov. g.
Hou. Henry Watterson, editor of
the Louisville Courier-Journal
wires The Times U nion and Citi-
zen the following statement:
with the elimination of tho
money issue there ought to be no
further factional division among
the Democrats. If free silver was
not dead before, assuredly it is
dead now, beyond the hope of
resurrection and redemption
having done harm enough to dis
credit it forever, even among the
most Jealous adherents. There
will continue to be two great op-
posing political organizations.
Defeated today, the Democrats
may win tomorrow. They will
find issues arising out of the ma
ture of public affairs and evolved
by the course of events. Leaders
suited to these will. in good time
and season, arrive upon the
scene. 1t is too early to particu-
larize. Suffice it to say that there
will always be party of strict
construction, as against q party
Of loose construction, and that,
readjusted to the more conserva-
tive requirements of the country,
the Democratic party will reap
pear rs the oontending force in
the public life Of the people," -

POultrymen Wanted.

At the present time it is said
that the produce markets of Bir
bingham, Ala, and other South
ern cities are very much in need
of larger supplies of poultry and
poultry products. Te supply this
demand purchases have to be
made in distant States. In a
section suited to the poultry in
dustry, as is the country tributary
to Birmingham, this ought to be
a profitable business. These
local markets in the South
should be Supplied by the far
mers adjacent to them. The land
and industrial department of the
Southern Railway is in position
to direct experienced poultrymen
to a number of desireble places
for successfully carrying on this
business.
