an electon and some wanted 10 proceed without one.
 The chairman then took the floor and spoke in favor of incorporation. He said that they must have schools for their chil- dren; that the Birmingham schools would not receive them, and that the only way to get schools was to become incorporated, issue bonds and build them.
 MT. Blackburn then moved to table MT. Mouton's motion to leave the matter to vote of the people.
 Salter's store where the meeting was held, was so crowded that to decide the vote the voters had to form in two lines. Those voting ''aye'' on the right, and those voting mo- on the left. The vote resulted in 40 men being in favor of tabling the motion and 35 against it. Thus the party favoring immediate incorporation without an election had majority of five
 MT. Moulton then told them that the Legislature would never grant them char ter when it was shown that they had voted down proposition to leave the question or incorporation to popular vote.
 This point seemed to impress the major ity, and various suggestions looking to- wards harmony and compromise were made.
 MT. Carr moved that a committee of six be appointed to visit every white man Tn the district and ascertain his wishes on the subject.
 Some one from behind the counter moved that every one present put 50 cents Tn hat to pay the expenses of the committee This motion did not receive second
 After much discussion the majority changed their minds and decided to submit the matter to a vote of the people, and It was unanimously resolved that vote of all the white residents in the district to be incorporated be had on Wednesday, No- vember 2S, the polls to be open from a. m. to 8 D. n, and that all persons who voted at the election were to pledge themselves to abide by the result; that one ballot box was to be in Smithfeld and one in Elyton, and that six managers were to be named and all details arranged by MT. Blackpurh and MT. Haygood.
 The result of the election is to be reported to the chairman, who is to publish it.

WILL IT BECOME POPULAR?
How Do You Like This New Fad?

Vegetarians, anti-coffee drinkers and food cranks of every description must now take a back seat, for new fad has the floor.
 A society has recently been formed, the members of which pledge themselves to eat no food whatever that has been cooked \ They claim that uncooked food is the only rational healthful diet; that our remote an- cestors ate no cooked food, and therefore if we do the same vigor and health will be our reward.
 Raw meat, raw potatoes, raw wheat, raw eggs, raw everything, Is the enticing bill of fare held out to the enthusiastic food crank of the future, and the society proposes to establish restaurants in the larger cities where this delightful menu may be served daily.
 Modern cooking Is often a dyspepsia pro- ducer, because we fry so many foods which should be baked. roasted, broiled or boiled Fried food is indigestible because each par ticle of food Is encased in hot grease, which the digestive juices of the stomach cannot easily penetrate But properly-cooked food is more easily digested than the same food uncooked, and we predict for the new fad very limited following
 The real cause of indigestion is the lack of hydrochloric acid and peptones In the stomach. so that no matter how well cooked the food, it cannot be we'll digested unless the gastric juice Is abundant and contains the necessary amount of peptones to dis solve the food.
 Therefore the most sensible cure for poor digestion is to take after each meal some safe and reliable digestive, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which supply peptones to digest the meat and eggs and diastase to digest the bread, potatoes and similar starchy foods.
 Laxative medicines never cure indiges- ton because they have no digestive effect whatever upon the food. On the other hand, if the food is properly digested there will be no need of laxatives; good digestion does away with constipation.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets contain pure aseptic pepsin Government tesD, dlastase and the digestive elements which weak stomachs lack. and they cure indigestion by assisting the overworked, rundown stomach in it's hard work until it is re- stored to it's normal condition, when the tablets are no longer needed. But there are thousands of robust men and women who never eat meal without taking one or two of Stuart's Tablets, because by so do- ing they can eat what they please and when they please and be free from any bad after effects.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by druggists everywhere in the United States. Canada and Great Britain.
