and we'll known experienced teachers Sc
cured to conduct them. The president
Mr.. w. B. Elliott is determined to give

POINTS OF EXCELLENCE
A Few Reasons Which are Rapidly
Making a New Catarrh Cure Fla
mons.

4 Few Reasons Which are Rapid
Making New Catarrh Cure Fl
nous.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, the
new Catarrh cure has the follow
ing advantages over other catarrh
remedies.
First: These Tablets contain no
cocaine, morphine or any other
injurious drug and are as safe
and beneficial for children as for
adults; this is an important point
when it is recalled that many ca
tarrh remedies Go contain these
very Objectionable ingredients.
Next: Being in tablet form this
remedy does not deteriorate with
age, or an exposure to the air as
liquid preparations invariably do.
Next: The tablet form not only
preserves the medicinal properties
but is so far more convenient to
carry and to use at any time that
it is only question of time that
the tablet will entirely supersede
liquid medicines as it has already
done in the medical department OF
the United States army.
Next: No secret is made of the
composition of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets; they contain the active
principle of Eucalyptus bark, red
gum blood root and Hydrastin, all
harmless antiseptics which, how
ever, are death to catarrhal germs
wherever found. because they elm
mate them from the blood.
Next: You can not cure catarrh
by local applications to the nose
and throat, because these are
simply local symptoms and such
treatment can not possibly reach
the real seat of catarrhal disease
which is the blood; for this reason
inhalers, douches, sprays and pow
ders never really cure catarrh, but
simply give temporary relief which
a dose of plain salt water will do
just as well.
Catarrh must be driven out of
the system, out of the blood, by
an internal remedy because an in
ternal remedy is the only kind
which can be assimilated into the
blood.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets do this
better than the old form of treat
ment because they contain every
safe specific known to modern
science in the antiseptic treatment
of the disease.
Next: The use of inhalers, and
spraying apparatuses, besides being
ineffective and disappointing, is
expensive, while a complete treat
ment Of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
can be had at any drug store in
the United States and Canada for
so cents.

ALABAMA'S BIG
DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. Ga general
election for state and county officers
and for members of the General AS
sembly was held in Alabama to-day
and n large majority was returned for
the Democratic ticket, headed by VIII
liam j. Sanford of Lee county, who
will be inaugurated governor Dccem-
ber LIST.
The Republicans, Populists and Pro-
hibitlonists. besides the Democrats, had
tickets in the field, but returns so far
indicate victory of the Democrats
by an overwhelming majority.
The Democrats have also gained sew
eral members of the General Assembly.
The Populists and Republicans will to-
gether possibly have twelve or thirteen
members of the Legislature, loss Of
about fifty per cent.
The Democrats have elected county
officers in several counties which have
heretofore been strongly Populistic.
1t Is estimated by the Democratic
committee that the majority will be
more than 10000. The election was re-
garded as n test on the mooted ques-
ton of holding constitutional conven-
ton, which Is favored by the Demo
Gratis, and the increased majorities are
taken to indicate that the people are
favorable TO the holding of conven-
tion which will eliminate the negro
from politics.
