BITTER FIGHT IEi Ii
 FOURTH DISTRICT
Two Democratic Candidates May
 be Nominated for Congress.
IT IS A FIGHT TO A FINISH
The District Executive Committee Thinks the State Committee Had No Right to Interfere, and
 People Seem Divided

Montgomery, June S0.-(Special)-If a there is grave trouble before the Fourth District Democracy The story comes from member of the District Executive Com mittee, and consequently is given credence by the politicians.
 It will be remembered that several weeks ago the Fourth District committee ordered a primary election for the nomination of a candidate for Congress in the Fourth. This action was distasteful and unsatisfactory to some of the Democrats in the district and they appealed to the state committeee to have the district committee call con- vention in accordance with the former GUS tom After hearing the case the state committee ordered a convention to be held. The primary advocates resented this action by the state committee, declaring that it had no right to interfere in the matter.
 The district committee has been called to meet at Talladega Springs on the Sd of July, and according to the member of the committee who discussed the situation to- day, 1t will ignore the action of the state committee, order a primary election and call upon the several county committees to back them up in the action. A close can vass of the district has been made as re- gards the matter and it is claimed that the primary advocates have two majority in the district committee the standing be- ing reported as five for convention and obeying the mandate of the state commit tee to seven for primary.
 It Is further claimed that three of the county committees will endorse the action of the district committee and three of them will follow the mandate of the state com- mittee.
 'It is fight to the finsh' said the member of the committee, 'and it looks as if neither side will surrender. I under stand that Congressman James Richard son, Democratic leader of the House, has given it as his opinion that the state com mittee has no authority in the case, and if this be true it seems to be authority enough for the primary advocates to stand upon.
 "Yes very much fear that this wrangle means the nomination of two Democratic candidates in the district, and two Demo- cratic candidates means that the Repub- lican will receive the certificate of elec- tion."
 The speaker was questioned as to his idea of who would be the nominees in the district in case of a split, and replied that Hon. Gaston A. Robbins would be nomi- mated in the primary and probably Hon. Syd Bowie by the convention element

A POPULAR MISTAKE
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia and
 Indigestion

The national disease of Americans is in- and for the very reason that 1t is so con- tratment for what they consider trfling indigestion lays the foundation for many orous, healthy stomach will fall victim to heart troubles date their beginning from the poor digestion; thin, nervous people are really so because their stomachs are out of gear; weary, languid, faded out women owe their condition to imperfect digestion.
 When nearly every person you meet is afflicted with weak digestion 1t is not sur prising that nearly every secret patent medicine on the market claims to be cure for dyspepsia, as well as a score of other troubles, when in fact, as Dr. Werthier says, there is but one genuine dyspepsia cure which is perfectly safe and reliable, and moreover, this remedy is not patent medicine, but it Is a scientific combination of pure pepsin free from animal matter). vegetable essences. fruit salts and bis- muth It is sold by druggists under name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. No extray- agant claims are made for them, but for indigestion or any stomach trouble, Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets are far ahead of any remedy yet discovered. They act on the food eaten, no dieting is necessary, simply eat all the wholesome food you want and these tablets will digest 1t. A cure results. because all the stomach needs is a rest, which Stuart's Dyspepsia T.Dslets give by doing the work of digestion.

THE CHATAUQUA
First Day Began With Old Fashioned
 Singing

Talladega, June SO.-(SpeciaL)-Th first day of the Alabama Chautauqua began with the old-fashioned singing, and was somewhat of disappointment because of the non-arrival of a competing class. The contest was scheduled to occur between classes from Clay and St. Clair Counties and while the Clay County class appeared on the grounds in due time, for some un- explained reason the St. Clair singers never toed the mark; however, this did not pre- vent Prof. Morrison's class of Ashland Clay County, from delivering five songs from the Sacred Harp, and going off with the prize.
 In the evening a brilliant audience gath cred as the strains of the opera house band announced the opening of the enter tainment in the familiar notes of the "Geargia Camp Meeting:" two other num- bers were offered by the orchestra, when the manager introduced MT. Drennen of Birmingham, promising young singer and composer With great skill and power MT. Drennen rendered Twilight" the com- position being his own. The Mendelsohn Quartette charmed all with the old, favor ite Hard Times Comes Again No More," and the audience recalled them twice.
 The manager announced a slight change of programme in the Chautauqua's Sunday exercises, the song service being changed to in the evening"
 Hon. Luther Manship was then pre- sented for his farewell appearance. Man ship has made a host of friends. His genius is of the Boy Taylor, Sol Smith Russell variety He offers nothing old or hackneyed. Two of his sketches were es- pecially well received-"Why don't you laugh" and 'The negro boys account of the hanging" This second programme of the Chautauqua was even better than the first. and the immense audience filed out

POPULISTS
Have Named a Full County Ticket in
 Tuscaloosa

Tuscaloosa, June 30.-(Special) 1.-The Pop ulists of Tuscaloosa County surprised the Democrats today by holding mass meet ing and nominating county ticket. It had been thought that the Populists had re- . turned to the old party for good, but they think they have not been treated fairly by the Democratic County Executive Com mittee, and therefore have gathered their clans together again.
 At the recent Democratic primaries J. r. Clements, former Populist candidate for sheriff, was refused at the last moment a place on the ticket. The Populists say that if they are not good enough to hold office they are not good enough to vote for a Democratic candidate. The candidates nominated today are J. P. Clements sheriff; w. B. Cooper, superintendent of education, and J. c. Dobbs, J. w. Deason, J. D. Block, G. w. Newell, county com missioners. One of the leaders in the movement is Judge B. H. Williams, pro- bate judge during the last term. Dr. G. R. Grove of Birmingham was present and presided. This action of the populsts has peculiar significance, as it is only recently that Tuscaloosa County has escaped their domination.

JUDGE HALLS HOME BURNED.
Magnificent Griffin Residence Al
most a Total Loss.

Griffin, Ga, Feb. 1S.-At 2 O'Clock this
afternoon the alarm of fire was sounded,
and In a moments time large numbers of
people were going down Hin street. The
fire was at the beautiful home of John
l. Hall, on South Hill street. and occu-
pied by his daughter, Mrs. Floride Hall
Drake.
Before the fire department appeared up
on the scene the kitchen roof was in
flames and stiff breeze from the north
west soon carried them to the main build
ing. The firemen had to work under many
disadvantages, the water was freezing cold
and the northwest wind was almost I'M
bearable After an hours hard work the
fire was finally conquered All the roof
was burned off and the floors in the up
per stories badly damaged, besides the
wallis throughout the house were ruined.
Judge Halls house is one of the finest
in the city, and it stands a mass of
ruins is a heavy loss to the owner, who
only had s., 500 insurance on the building.
Judge Hail. who is counsel for the Geor-
gia Southern and Florida Railway, came
up from Macon this morning to spend
Sunday with his family. They were gath
cred around the fire in the sitting room
when the alarm was given. The cause
of the fire is thought to have been a de-
fective fiue. Judge Hall will rebuild at
once.

A CONSERVATIVES SESSION.
Facts Noted at the Adjournment of
the south Carolina Legislature.

Columbia, 8. c., Feb. 1S-The most con-
sentative Legislature that has assembled
here since 1888, adjourned this morning at
daylight. Yesterday was the end of the
forty days allowed for this session. The
Legislature could have remained in ses-
sion as long as it desired, but pay stopped
yesterday, and the members wished to
get away to-day So the sergeant at arms
was kept busy keeping the clock from
recording Sunday morning by pushing
back the hands.
Outside of the dispensary bills none of
great Importance was passed. There was
the usual argument against appropria-
lions to state colleges but for the first
time in years, the colleges were given all
that they asked for, while $1,000 was APP
propriated for an additional dormitory for
Winthrop College at Rock Hill. For years
this school has been turning away hun
dreds of girls, because of lack of quar-
tiers. This viii enable 300 more to be
taken in. The new building will be ready
for the opening of the fall session
The work on the State House stopped
the first year the Reformers took charge,
is to be resumed and finished to compile
tion-$z000 600 to be used for this purpose.
In its present condition the State House,
on which more than a million has been
spent. really did not furnish proper shell
ter for records, and it was a conspicuous
eye-sore to Columbians and visitors.
There are many thousands of dollars
worth of granite columns already on the
grounds ready to be used. They have been
waiting there for forty years.
During the last hours of the session the
local option" bill it was called, but
which gave the counties the privilege of
having prohibition in place of dispensary,
and which had passed both Houses, was
gotten up through an amendment to
which the Senate would not agree, and
died in conference.
