French Women in Politics.

As has already been announced by cable, committee of ladies under the patronage of Mime. de CuverVille, wife of the Admiral, has decided to support didates who will undertake to defend property, the fatherland, and liberty" The league has about 5O0.000 adherents already. The chief committees are in Paris and Lyons.
 A representative of Le Figaro was re- gently told that they were not cham pions of feminlnism," and that there is no question of seeking to obtain impos- sible liberties or ridiculous equalities !" The general tendency of this association is to reprove the indifference shown by electors. whose apathy and absence from the urns insure the election of hostile candidates. Some of the more Jealous leaders have resolved to exclude from their drawing rooms all male friends who cannot show an electors card. During the election campaign and on the voting day festive gatherings are to be held to stimulate the tardy constituents. The following is proclamation of the league. which is being circulated in Paris salons:
 Women, our hearts are full of pity for the sufferings of the poor, but we deceive the weak. Being Frenchwomen. VIC lovo France. and rejecting interna- tonalism, we demand Frenchmen to govern her As mothers, we contend that our children belong to us, and not to Deputies or Ministers, and that it is for us to bring them up. to watch over their infancy, and to choose their teachers. To accomplish that task we demand lib- erty. As Christians we wish our faith to be respected in the same way as we are ready to respect that of others. We desire that all consclences may be free on French soil. Functionaries and conscience. and we demand liberty for them"

STATES COTTON BURNS THIRTY-TWo BALES VALUED AT $1,2OO, TOTAL LOSS. Sparks from Gin Saws at Speigners Ignited the Cotton-There
 Was No Insurance
 on the Lot.

The State Convict Board yesterday re- ceived an official report of the fre at the Speigners farm early Wednesday morning in which thirty-two bales or cotton, owned by the State. valued at about $1,2OO, were destroyed. The cot ton was not insured.
 Tue sday while the State gin was at work it was discovered that the friction of the saws had caused sparks and cot ton was afire. The gin was shut down and the cotton bale was ordered to pc thrown out from the other bales. f5y misunderstanding this cotton was stored with thirty-eight other bales. II IS pc lieved that the fire smouldered through out the night and the sparks were com municated to the other cotton bales.

THE FEAR OF HUMBUd
Prevents Many People From Trying
 A Good Medicine.

Stomach troubles are so common and in most cases so obstinate to cure that peo- pie are apt to look with suspicion on any remedy claiming to be radical, perma- nent cure for dyspepsia and indigestion. Many such pride themselves on their acuteness in never being humbugged, es- pecally in medicines.
 This fear of being humbugged can be carried too far. so far, in fact, that many people suffer for years with weak diges- tion rather than risk a little time and money in faithfully testing the claims made of preparation so reliable and universally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
 Now Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly different in one important respect from ordinary proprietary medicines for the reason that they are not secret pat ent medicine, no secret is made of their ingredients. although they are sold by all druggists under protection of trademark, but analysis shows them to contain the natural digestive ferments, pure aseptic pepsin. the digestive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth, hydrastis and nuX. They are not cathartic, neither do they act power fully on any organ. but they cure indi- gestion on the common sense plan of di- gesting the food eaten thoroughly be- fore it has time to ferment. sour and cause the mischief. This is the only sec- ret of their success.
 Cathartic pills never have and never can cure indigestion and stomach troubles because they act entirely on the bowels, whereas the whole trouble Is really in the stomach.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after meals digest the food. That is all there is to 1t. Food not digested or half digested is poison. as it creates gas, acidity head aches, palpitation of the heart, loss of flesh and many other troubles which are often called by some other name.

BILL THOMAS GETS TEN YEARS
 FOR UNIQUE CRIME.
He and a Pal, the Evidence Showed, Held Up Negroes on a Road Until They Had Four
 teen in Line.

Bill Thomas, a negro, was given ten years in the penitentiary By jury in the City Court last night for robbery.
 It was alleged that Thomase<and Ben Jenkins held up fourteen negroes in Vesuvius and robbed them of money.
 The evidence showed that at one time fourteen negroes were in line in the road near Vesuvius and each was robbed. As fast as one would come along he would be told to fall in line. Ben Jenkins held the men at the point of a revolver and Thomas went through their pockets. He claimed that he was forced to do this by Jenkins who afterwards skipped out.
 The following is the jury that tried the case:
 J. c. Paschal, Earnest Waugh, J. A. Harwell, A. F, Heating, c. H.. F. Aus tin. c. H. Norman, J. P. Bullock. w. M. Money, w. c. Frizzle. B. F. Ashley, R. E. Champion and J. C. Palmer.

REGISTRARS NAMED
 FOR EIGHT COUNTIES
State Board Announced a New Batch of Important Appointments Un-
 der the New Constitution.

' St. Clair County-E. J. Robinson, Ash vile: W. T. Brown. Ragland; J. M. Presley. Ashville.
 Sumter County-T. F. Scale. J. w. Phares, Gay Ellis.
 It must be understood that the work of selecting these Registrars is tedious. The Constitution provides that they shall not hold any elective office and as many Jus tices of the Peace have made application the board Is compelled to enquire closely into the public record of the applicant after his fitness for the place has been ascertained. A good example of the er- TOTS that may be committed was fur nished yesterday when the board after naming three Registrars for Dallas County discovered that two of them were holding minor elective offices. Their ap- pointment was withheld until they car resign or other persons will be named.
 The Board of Registrars adjourned yes. terday until Monday and no further an. nouncements will be made until after the Monday meeting.

Hard Colds

Hard colds nearly always lead to something serious. They run into chronic bron- chitis, pneumonia, consump- tion. Doctors know this. That's why they so generally approve of Ayers Cherry Pectoral. They tell us they cannot prescribe anything that cures coughs so quickly.

MONTGOMERY THEATRE. Tonight
 The Great Play

When We Were 21' will be seen at the Montgomery Theatre tonight. It is a pure. clean story, clever in it's ar- engagement, interesting in its conclusions. It is we'll calculated to receive that at. tention and approval at the hands of the theatre-goers that is so justly de- serving. One seldom witnesses a more evenly balanced company than the one in charge of the presentation of When We Were Twenty-one." From those de- picting the leading parts down to the very humblest, every character is in perfect hands As result. the performance from beginning to end Is one complete success, and is certainly deserving of the unstint- ed approval given it by both press and public.

Impossible.

Philadelphia Ledger.
 There are many reasons why The Lon don Saturday Reviews desire for an Anglo-German alliance against the United States will not be gratified. The 'blood is thicker than water" argument Is one of them. Another is the community of language between the English and Amer jeans. a community which takes in the important colonies of the mother coun- try. third Is the manifest destiny which is drawing the Anglo-Saxon na- tions together and away from the Ger manic people. But it is not necessary to multiply arguments. The thing is i'm possible, and every statesman knows it.
