New Decatur, October 29.-(Special.)- Last night in Decatur. Hon. w. T. L.. Cofer, of Cullman. spoke to an audience of 300 people. composed of both white and colored. MT. Cofer was a member of the late convention, and with several others he opposed the constitution. He spoke against ratification last night and his speech seemed to meet with the approval of the crowd, as he was often cheered.
 MT. Cofer was followed by Hon. S. T. West, who also opposed ratification. MT. West made a speech in which he gave the Alabama newspapers a slight roast by saying they had been fixed by the politicians who favor the new constitu- tion. He also made the charge that the correspondents for the daily papers pub lished in states aside from Alabama had also been fixed, and that they dare not send any news against ratification
 Both speakers claimed that north Ala bama will go against ratification.
 Hon. J. W. Abercrombie spoke at the courthouse to a good-sized audience. He is In favor of ratification.

~Pain in the head and back is form of suffering with which SO many women are familiar. Often this pain Is asso- ciated with nervousness. sleeplessness and loss of appetite. The cause of such suffering is generally to be traced to Arrangement of the womanly function, or a diseased condition of the delicate womanly organs.
 In such cases the action of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is marvellous in the prompt relief of pain and permanent cure of disease. It regulates the peril odic function, dries disagreeable drains, heals inflammation and ulceration, and cures female weakness. It cures when all other means have been tried in vain.
 Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. All correspond ence Is held as strictly private and sacredly confidential. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
 In little over thirty years Dr. Pierce, assisted by his staff of nearly score of physicians, has cured more than half a million women

4 YEARS WORK OF THE SIGNAL CORPS Unprecedented Application of
 Electricity in War CORPS SMALL FOR DEMAND 336 Miles of Telegraph Lines Con- structed In Alaska-3,34S Miles
 Operated In Cuba and 4,851
 Miles in Philippines.
CORPS SMALL FOR DEMAND

Washington, October 29.-General Greer ley, chief signal officer, in his annual re- port says:
 ''The operations of the signal corps have been co-existent with the opera tions of the army of the United States proper, but also of Alaska, Cuba, Porto Rico the Philippines and a portion of China.
 The muster out of the last volunteer soldier would seem to mean a reduction of work, and in this electrical age the demand for progressive generals has de- veloped In the American army the appn- cation of electricity to war on a scale un- precedented In military history. Inces- sant demands were made by military commanders for inter-communication with their detached organizations by tel egraph and by telephone, in addition to the former methods of visual signalizing
 General Greeley says the corps should be increased to meet present demands.
 Alaskan Lines. There have been constructed 336 miles of telegraph line in Alaska, and arrange ments have been made with the Canadian government to use It's line to Alaska.
 The signal corps operates Ss4S miles of telegraph in Cuba, an increase of 162 miles during the year.
 In the Philippines.
 The operations of the corps in the Phil ippines have been very extensive, there having been 1851 miles of telegraph lines, an increase of 2O54 miles during the year. The military cable lines in the Philip pines connect Manila with Mindero, Ma rinduque. Masbate. Semar, Leyte Cebu, Negros. Mindanoa, Jolo and Siasi
 General Greeley recommends an inter- national cable conference to prepare reg ulations for cables
 concerning experimental work he says:
 Tn wireless telegraphy the signal corps has perfected its own system which was the first one ever successfully op- erated in the United States on Septam- Der 30, 1S99 between Fire Island and Hire Island Lightship, a distance of ten miles. There are now in successful operation two stations in San Francisco harbor, enc at Fort Mason and another at Alcatraz Island. Arrangements have been made for the establishment of stations in the Philippine Islands at suitable points. The chief signal officer adhered to the opinion that this system has its limitations, which are not entirely dependent on dis tance."
 Wants Pacific Gable.
 General Greeley, in recommending a Pa oific cable, says:
 Tt Is only matter of time when Luzon shall be connected with Japan and Ton kin and the Chinese Empire. The Philip pine Islands are now only accessible tel ezra phily oyer short cable of about 600 miles of the eastern extension company between Manila and Hong Kong
 An eastern trans- Pacific cable is a military and commercial necessity if American interests are to be safeguarded in Asiatic regions. Such cable, while of great value in a military way, will especially further industrial interests and facilitate commercial operations"

On the caslret was beautiful bouquet of white carnations placed there by the Union of Lady Clerks of Birming- ham. That was the only floral offering
 The father of Oscar Lee was reticent in discussing the career of his son, but ad- mitted he was a wayward boy, though not at heart criminal. He said Oscar had been arrested twice but he was never proven guilty of theft, though the police Of Memphis once hanged him by the thumbs to make him confess to steal ing a watch. MT.

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 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 was suffering almost death. No man living can say more than I can say for your Texas Wonder. And call it a Worlds Wonder and I hope all who suffers will give trial
 Wishing you success, am,
