UNFIT FOR A JUDGEsHIp.

The street rumor that George A.
Davis had received the unanimous en-
dorsement of the Republican Territorial
Committee for Circuit Judge, vice Silli-
man. resigned, was followed up last
night with the result that the Adver-
tiser got full confirmation, from a
member of the committee, of this as
tonishing procedure.
We cannot imagine that the Territor-
ial Committee acted in this matter with
deliberation We cannot think that it
took into it's field of view the honor of
the courts, the interests of justice or
the dignity of the bar. 1t must have
confined itself to the single proposition
that Davis, as one of the stump speak
ers who assisted the Republican nom
inee for Congress to defeat last fall,
had done his part in a bargain for
recognition" and that the judicial va
cancy, being the only prize in sight,
should thereby go to him.
who knows Honolulu is aware that,
but for the pity of official friends, he
would have spent months in Jail during
the past year for offenses against the
peace. Time after time this man,
drunk, disorderiy, profane and verging
on delirium, has been in the hands of

to sober off. He has been caught half
naked in the street raying incoherently
against those whom he believed to be
his enemies. Scandalous charges have
been made against him in divorce
suit. He has disturbed the peace of
neighbors with his demands for whis-
ky Scores of people have regarded
him and still regard him as the victim
of dementia. The only excuse made for
Davis is that he has a '.high-strung
and uncertain nervous temperament. y
Very likely, he has. But is man
whose nerves are so far from being UNI
der control that he internationally dis
graces himself and affronts the law and
decent instincts of society, fit subject
to put on the bench? Does not the
Territorial Republican Committee inn
peach its own right to make recommen-
dation to the President when it asks
him to throw an ermine mantle over
the shoulders of a man who may, at
any time, step down from the bench
and roll with it in the gutter?

Territorial Committee would visit upon

ure, and some of the holders sued and obtained judgment and at one time the city officials came near being jailed because the debt was not arranged after an order by the United States Court at Montgomery. These bonds and the efforts to settle them and is- sue them have been a warm factor in Opelika politics for long time, and several campaigns have been waged on a bond issue.
 The money has come, and today Mayor Glover settled the city debt, which has been bearing per cent, and the city will now own its own school houses. By this action the city will save in interest and rent of school buildings over $1200 per annum. Un- der law passed by the last Legisla- ture, Opelika cannot issue any more bonds, the amount being limited to $40,O00, which were sold and disposed of today.
 Opelika now has the great financial nightmare under which it has rested so long lifted and has over thousand more dollars yearly with which to i'm. prove the town and provide a sinking fund.

JACKSON RELICS
 GO TO NASHVILLE
Paintings and Sword of the Famous General Are
 Shipped to Ladies

Florence, April 17-(Special.) )-Captain A. R. Coffee today shipped to the Ladies Hermitage Association at Nashville, six portraits that were given the association by the Coffee heirs in this city and Nash vile. The portraits were of General An drew Jackson and wife, Colonel John Donelson and wife, General John Coffee and wife. The portraits were painted by Colonel Earle in 1925 at the home of Gen eral Jackson. which he made his home so many years. Colonel and Mrs. Donel- son were the parents of Mrs. General John Coffee, the father of Captain A. D. Coffee and Vim Coffee of this city, and ancestors of the Donelson's of Nashville and Robert Dyas of that city. Colonel Donelson was the brother of Mrs. An drew Jackson.
 Accompanying the portraits was the city of New Orleans after the battle of 1872. General Jackson left the sword in his will to the late Colonel Andrew J. Coffee, U. s. A., of San Francisco, Cal. who left it with his mother, Mrs. John Coffee, when he went to California. The house was burned in 1865 and nothing was saved but the sword and the six por- traits above. mentioned, which were dam aged by the fire. The sword had been left in the garret during the war, as the country was full of Torys, who made numerous raids through the Tennessee Valley, plundering and burning every thing in sight
 The scabbord of the sword was ruined in the fire and only a mass of metal was left of the once bejeweled scabbord which was worth 5000. and was solid gold and silver. The old Coffee home was filled with historical treasures which were all destroyed Among them were many Indian trophies from the famous Chief Colbert, who was an intimate friend of General Coffee, and who lived a few miles from this city on the famous Colbert reservation.

DOES NOT DisAPPoINT. The New Discovery for Catarrh Seems To Possess Remarkable Merit.

A new catarrh cure has recently ap peared which so far as tested has beer remarkably successful in curing all forms of catarrh, whether in the head, throat, bronchial tubes, or in stomach and liver.
 The remedy is in tablet form. pleasant and convenient to take and no special secrecy Is maintained as to what 1t con- tains the tablet being a scientific combi- nation of Guaiacol, Eucalyptol. Sangui- maria. Hydrastin and similar valuable and harmless antiseptics.
 The safe and effective catarrh cure may be found of any drug store under name of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets.
 Whether the catarrh is located in the nose, throat. bronchial tubes or stomach the tablets seem to act with equal suc- cess, removing the stuffy feeling in the head and nose, clearing the mucous mem brane of throat and trachea from ca- tarrhal secretions, which cause the tick ling, coughing. hawking and gagging so annoying to every catarrh sufferer
 Nasal catarrh generally leads to ulcera- tion in some cases to such an extent as to destroy the nose entirely and in many old cases of catarrh the bones of the head become diseased. Nasal eatarrh grad ually extends to the throat and bron- chial tubes and very often to the stom- ach, causing that very obstinate trouble catarrh of the stomach. M"
 Catarrh Is a systemic poison, inherent in the blood. and local washes, douches salves, inhalers and sprays can have no effect on the real cause of the disease An internal remedy which acts upon the blood is the only rational treatment and Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is the safest of all internal remedies. as we'll as the most convenient and satisfactory from a medi- cal standpoint.
 Dr. Eaton recently stated that he had successfully used Stuart's Catarrh Tablets in old chronic cases, even where ulcera- ton had extended so far as to destroy the septum of the nose. He says, T am pleasantly surprised almost every day by the excellent results from Stuart's Ca- tarrh Tablets. It Is remarkable how ef- fectually they remove the excessive se- cretion and bring about a healthy condi- ton of the mucous membranes of tn: nose throat and stomach"
 All druggists sell complete treatment of the tablets at 50 cents and a little book giving the symptoms and causes of the various forms of catarrh will be mailed free by addressing F. Al Stuart Co.,. Mar shall, Mich.
