D|SPENSARY BILL
 IS TEMPERED WITH
Tuscaloosa Citizens Very Much Wrought Up Over Report
 from Montgomery

Tuscaloosa, March 2.-(Special. )-The advocates of the dlspensary bill in this place were very much annoyed yester- day at the report which was received here from Montgomery that the bill giv- ing this county a dispensary had been tempered with by unknown parties while 1t was in the room of the enrolling clerk. The bill was enrolled without Senate amendment, which would have made the dispensary act imperative. In some way the fact was discovered by the represen- tatives from this county, and when they went to see about 1t they were informed that tsthe amendment had been stolen and afterwards returned and pinned to the bill The bill had also been tempered with by causing the "a. m" and "p. m to be left out of the closing hours. causing 1t to read simply from S o'clock to 6 o'clock.
 The bill incorporating the Tuscaloosa Lodge of Elks was also tampered with. A good deal of indignation was felt over the nsatter. It will be remembered that the dispensary question was settled by a compromise The bill giving Tuscaloosa the dispensary is now being carefully guarded by the repre- sentatives from Tus- caloosa County.
 An effort Is on foot to build co-opera- tive cotton factory here. Mayor W. G. Cochrane Is at the head of the move ment for this very excellent enterprise. It Is proposed to divide the capital stock into shares of $50 each, and allow sub scribers to pay for their stock at the rate of B per month on each share sub scrfbed for It Is thought that such fac tory will pay handsomely here

A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Eff.
 fectuaI Cure for It.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
 considered the next thing to incurable
 The usual symptoms are a full or bloat-
 ing sensation ailer eating, accompanied
 sometimes with sour or watery risings, a
 formation of gases, causing pressure on
 the heart and lungs and difficult breath
 ing, headaches, f1ckle appetite, nervous
 ness and a general played out, languid
 feeling.
 There Is often foul taste in the mouth,
 coated tongue, and if the interior of the
 stomach could be seen it would show a
 slimy, inflamed condition.
 The cure for this common and obstinate
 trouble Is found in a treatment which
 causes the food to be readily. thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the stomach. To secure a prompt and
 healthy digestion Is the one necessary
 thing to do and when normal digestion is
 secured the catarrhal condition will have disappeared.
 According to Dr. Harlanson the safest and best treatment Is to use after each meal a tablet, composed of Diastase,
 aseptic Pepsin, little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now
 be found at all drug stores under the
 name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and not being a patent medicine can be used
 with perfect safety and assurance that
 healthy appetite and thorough digestion
 will follow their regular use after meals MT. N. J. Booher, Chicago, H., writes:
 "Catarrh Is a local condition resulting from a neglected cold in the head, where by the lining membrane of the nose be- comes inflamed and the poisonous dis charge therefrom passing backward into the throat reaches the stomach thus pro-
 ducing catarrh of the stomach. Medical authorities prescribed for me for three years for catarrh of the stomach without cure but today I am the happiest of men after using only one box of Stuart s pyypepsia Tablets. I cannot find appro- priate words to express my good feeling I have found flesh, appetite and sound rest fro Z. thei' use.'
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is the safest preparation as well as the simplest and most convenient remedy for any form of indigestion, catarrh of stomach, bil- iousness, sour stomach, heartburn and bloating after meals.
 Send for little book, mailed free, on stomach troubles, by addressing F. A. Stuart Company, Marshall. Mich. The tablets can be found at all drug stores.

From the Columbiana Chronicle.
 There isn't any doubt about the con stitutional convention being held, neither is there any doubt about enough good conservative men being elected to give us honest and fair organic laws elimi- mating the negro vote from our politics and placing us in a position to foster and encourage industries in our State which are now driven away because of our out of-date constitution, and give us educa- tional advantages we can never enjoy under the old constitution.

 KIDNEYS WEAK?
Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never
 Suspect It.
To Prove what the Great Kidney Remedy, Swamp-ROot Will do for Y0U all our Readers May Have Sample
 Bottle Sent Absolutely Free by Mail.

It used to be considered that only uri- nary and bladder troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all diseases have their beginning in the disorder of these most important organs.
 The kidneys filter and purify the blood that is their work
 Therefore when your kidneys are weak or out of order you can understand how quickly your entire body is affected. and how every organ seems to fall to do it's duty.
 If you are sick or feel badly" begin taking the famous new discovery, Dr. kflmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon as your kidneys are we'll they will help all the other organs to health. A trial will convince anyone.
 Weak and unhealthy kidneys are re- sponsible for more sickness and suffering than any other disease, and if permitted to continue fatal results are sure to fol- low Kidney trouble irritates the nerves. makes you dizzy. restless. sieepless and irritable. Makes you pass water often during the day. and obliges you to get up many times during the night Causes puffy or dark circles under the eyes, rheu- matism, gravel, catarrh of the bladder. pain or dull ache In the back, joints and muscles, makes your head ache and baok ache, causes indigestion, stomach and hfOi liOuOiC, yVu BSl sdllOW, yeilOW complexion; makes you feel as though you had heart trouble; you may have plenty of ambition but no strength; get weak and waste away.
 The cure for these troubles is Dr. Kill mer's Swamp Root. the world-famous kidney remedy. In taking Swamp-Root you afford natural help to nature, for Swamp-Root Is the most perfect healer and gentle aid to the kidneys that Is known to medical science.
 If there Is any doubt In your mind as to your condition, take from your urine on rising about four ounces. place it in a glass or bottle and let 1t stand twenty four hours. If on examination 1t is milky or cloudy, If there Is brick-dust settling, or If small particles float about In 1t, your kidneys are in need of immediate attention.
 Swamp Root Is pleasant to take and Is used in the leading hospitals, recom- mended by physicians in their private practice. and Is taken by doctors them selves who have kidney ailments, because they recognize in 1t the greatest and most successful remedy for kidney, liver and bladder troubles.
