THOUSANDS BEAR WITNESS
To the Value of the Pyramid Pile Cure,

Thousands of pile sufferers bear witness to the inestimable value of the Pyramid Pile Cure, and even those who have under gone surgical operations, without cure have been happily surprised by results from a few weeks treatment with the Pyramid.
 The relief from pain and itching is almost instantaneous and the healing oils and astringents contained in the remedy gradu- ally and naturally bring about a complete cure in any form of piles, itching. protrud- ing, internal or bleeding.
 MT. Archie Birkett of 1oEia, Mich, writes: 'I was troubled with piles so bssd I had to quit work for a while. l found no relief until I tried the Pyramid Pile Cure. I used only two applications and 1t cured me almost instantly. l can truthful ly recommend the Pyramid Pile Cure to any sufferer from piles"
 MT. Edward Dunellen of Wikesbarre, Pa., says: For seven years I was scarcely ever free from the itching torment of piles. I had used ointments and salves without number and oftentimes got relief from them, but 1t took the Pyramid Pile Cure to make a complete cure and it did 1t thoroughly, and for eighteen months I have not had the slightest trace of piles. I feel all the more rejoiced because some of my friends told me I would never be cured unless I submitted to surgical operation and this felt I never could do."
 Mrs. Aaron Medron of Savannah, Ga., writes: Ever since the birth of my first child, six years ago, have suffered great ly from piles and rectal troubles, I could not bring myself to bear the thoughts of surgical operation and had always been prejudiced against patent medicines.
 But it was simply case of try something or give up entirely, and so hav- ing often seen the Pyramid Pile Cure ad- vertised I determined to try it, and for two years have never ceased to congratulate myself that I did so, for I have been en- tirely cured of rectal troubles, and two packages of the Pyramid removed every trace of the piles. This may sound far fetched and over-drawn, but 1t is abso- lute1y true"
 The Pyramid Pile Cure contains no CO., caine, opium nor any injurious drug what ever, and Is absolutely safe, painless and effective.
 ruggists sell full sized treatment of this remedy for 50 cents.

U. D. 6. CONVENTION
 ENDS ITS LABORS Several Amendments to the Old
 Constitution FRICTION WILL BE AVOIDED IrreeuIarity As To Credentials Caused the Recent commotion, and This Defect Is Remedied-The
 Davis Monument Fund.
FRICTION WILL BE AVOIDED

Montgomery, November 19.-(special.)- )- The convention of the United Daughters of the Confederacy was in continuous session today from 10 o'clock this morning until 5:3O in the afternoon. The day was taken up with the consideration of the revision of the constitution. An effort has been made to postpone the matter until the next convention but a majority favored a re- vision, so faulty was the old constitution considered. Among the amendments was one offered by Mrs. Randolph of Virginia, who moved that no credentials be accepted after the discharge of the credentials com mittee. As this irregularity on the part of the convention has been the cause of the commotion of yesterday, the motion was loudly applauded and the amendment adopted

until the afternoon session.
 Last Nights Sesion.
 The night session of the convention was called to order at o'clock. The minutes of three previous meetings were read and after few amendments were approved The most serious contention of the conven- tion occurred tonight. Mrs. c. B. Stone of Texas, moved that a periodical publ shed in Louisville, Ky, by Mrs. Basil Duke and Miss Barlow and called '"rhe Lost Cause" be adopted by the United Daughters of the Confederacy as their official organ. A heated discussion followed. Mrs Tench, of Florida, stated that the very name of the paper kept it out of her home. Other dele- gates objected, as it would seem to repu- diate the Confederate Veteran" which was now used jointly with the Confederate veterans as their official organ.
 It was stated by several members that there was no thought of interfering with the Confederate Veteran, but that the or ganzation wi,.. 10000 members needed an organ of it's own.
 MT Cunningham of the Veteran asked permission to speak. He spoke for his pa ps1 and made an attack on "The Lost Cause" saying it was formerly owned by MT. LaBree and that he was northern man. Mrs. Stone, who made the motion, asked that the privilege of the floor be also granted to the editor of Host Cause" Miss Barlow explained certain relations of her paper and MT. Cunningham and made serious charges against the gentleman. The sentiment seemed in favor of "The Lost Cause" but after suggestion that the matter be not decided at once, but allow a committee to look into the merits of the two organs before the convention decided, the motion was lost. A motion that the committee be appointed was made and carried.
 Resolutions of thanks were adopted. The secretary read the minutes of the night session, which were approved. The doxol- ogy was then sung and the U. D. c. Con- vention of 1900 adjourned sine die.
 Friday Nights Session.
 At the session last night Mrs. J. A. Alex ander of Alexandria, Va, spoke to the convention of the cemetery at Bull Kun, where 800 Confederate soldiers are buried. She wishd contributions to a fund for en- closing the cemetery. She created much en- thusiasm and before she left the floor con- tributed to the amount of $325 - more pledged
 Mrs. Latham of Memphis, Tenn, asked the courtesy of the fioor and made an ap- peal to the house for contributions to the General Forest monument fund She was given in cash and pledges the amount of $350. Of this amount $150 was given by the convention.
 Mrs Evansville of Georgia introduced the following resolutions:

AIabamians Interested.

The Alabama delegation was particularly interes ted in the discussion of the question as to whether a person could be member of more than one chapter, also as to whether there could be more than one chap ter in a town and under what conditions It was settled that a person could belong to as many chapters as she chose, but could have a vote in only one.
 The discussion of these two questions was of importance to Montgomery Daughters, as from a misunderstanding of the consti- tuition in regard to them much trouble has arisen during the past year among their chapters.
 The consideration of the constitution was

A Tribunal Wanted.

Mrs. Kirkpatrick, president of the Ala bama division, asked for instructions as to the length of time a committee shouli serve. There was difference of opinion in the Alabama delegation.
 A delegate from Virginia suggested again that Alabama should settle it's own diffi- culties. The president also said that Ala bamaS disputes should not be brought be- fore the convention.
 Mrs. Kirkpatrick insisted that when there was a dispute in State division on a question of parliamentary law there must be a tribunal to which they could appeal. The president replied that standing com mittee served only during the term of of flee of the president who appointed 1t, and a special committee until its work was completed.
 Mrs. Clifford Lanier of Montgomery asked if certificate of the membership of a chapter, signed by its president, should be furnished the credentials committee, or was 1t necessary to furnish a list of the membership to the committee.
 There were several cries of 'No' to the latter question, and Mrs. Lanier stated that such had happened in the case of her chapter.
 It was moved and carried that a revised constitution should be printed at once and distributed. The meeting adjourned until s o'clock.
