Mr.. Dustin. medicine from a carriage, at

 most inexhaustible. and some we'll known

TUSCALOOSA.

Tuscaloosa, October 15.-(Special.) )--The question of new courthouse for Tusca- loosa has taken on more than usual in- terest, as the county commissioners at their last meeting ordered that an cleo tion be held on November Il along with the election on the adoption of the new constitution, to decide whether the peo- pie of Tuscaloosa desire a new court house. The present quarters are thor oughly inadequate. as the courthouse was formerly row of stores. and the jail is not sufficiently large to accommodate the prisoners and keep the sanitary condi- tions what they should be.

IS A DEMOCRATIC MEASURE

Huntsville, October 15.-(Special. )-Sena- tor Edmund ". Pettus of Selma delivered an address at noon today on the merits of the new constitution Senator Pettus in reviewing the constitution said that in his opinion the suffrage clause would dis franchise no white man.
 He replied to the assertion of its oppo- nents who say 1t will place the negro in power by saying that it is strange, but true, that no negroes in the state are in favor of it's ade2ton.
 The soldier suffrage clause, he said, was designed especially for North Alabama, the white people of which are all descend ants of soldiers or who can either read and write or have $500 in property
 Senator Pettus said that there are enough recendents to assure every one that the suffrage clause is constitutional. Another great benefit to be given by the new constitution will be the insreased ap- propriations for public schools in the state. He proved this conclusively by showing that every superintendent of ed- ucation in Alabama is in favor of the new instrument.
 Senator Pettus said the new constitution Is a party measure and that all good Democrats will vote for it. He urged all of them to pull together and have the constitution ratified. He expressed con- fidence that it would be ratified by the people.
 All of the cars of the electric railroad will soon be equipped with electric search lights similar to those used on the lead ing railroads of the country. The new light throws a ray a distance of four blocks, and the possibility of collisions on dark nights Is almost done away with.
 Mai Dan c. Kingman, for several years in charge of the government works on the Tennessee river, is in Huntsville. Major Kingman did a great deal for the improvement of the great waterway in his charge, and has been urged by Con- gressman Richardson to remain here for the meeting of the Tennessee River Inn provement Association tomorrow. It was Major Kingman who first called atten- tion to the fact that the Paint Rock river between Madison and Jackson Counties for distance of twenty miles below its mouth was navigable to small craft. He recommended the demolition of the bridge at New Hope because 1t interfered with traffic. 1t seems that his recommends tion was immediately acted upon, for the bridge was burned within the month. It was a real benefit, however. to have the bridge out of the way, and now, where it formerly stood. is a fine steel draw bridge. Steam tugs and barges are now navigating the little river and hauling down the finest timber in the State from the virgin forests along the stream.

4 STRONG LETTER TO DIR. HALL.

Stevenson, Ala, June 6, 1901. Dear Sir: have been a great sufferer from bladder trouble for two years and my case was of a very serious nature compelling me to have several painful and dangerous operations I have also taken many different remedies; I taken Swamp Root three years. Warmers Sale cure two years, and they only gave temporary relief.
 After having two operations and pre- pairing for the third, I saw your Texas Wonder advertised. and purchased 8 bot tie. And I got almost immediate relief. and have continued to improve every since.
 My doctors said my bladder had grow ed together in three places, and I was suffering almost death. No man living can say more than I can say for your Texas Wonder. And I call 1t Worlds Wonder and I hope all who suffers will give a trial.
 Wishing you success. I am,
 Yours Truly,

BLOCTON.

Blocton, October 15-(Special.) .)-There is trouble between the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad Company and the employees at No. mine. For some time the scales used in weighing tram cars as they came out of the mine have been out of fix The men claim that they are losers on that account, while the company claims that 1t Is the loser. The matter has been ad- justed by the company putting in new scales.
 Rev. c. W. Freeman closed a revival at Mt Carmel Saturday night He bap- tised nine converts in Caffees creek near the coke ovens, at Blocton Sunday morn ing.
 It Is reported on good authority that the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company will begin selling off lots from it's property which lies adjacent to West Blocton within few weeks. West Bloc ton is the only incorporated town in this section, and it is matter of speculation what effect the company's acdon will have on the town.
 The Campbell Coal and Coke Company which has it's plant about three miles from Blocton resumed operations a few days ago. The plant was shut down on account of labor troubles The Broadhead Company which is located near the Campbell Coal and Coke Company, will begin operations within a short time. A strike has been in effect at the latter place since July.
