OSCAR OAKLEY
 .GETS 15 YEARS
Much Dissatisfaction at tn e Verdict, as Extreme Pen-
 tyWaS Wanted

Jasper, February H.-(Special.) )-The jury In the case of Oscar Oakley, charged with a criminal assault on his 12-year- old sister, Hattie Oakley. after being ont from o'clock yesterday afternoon until Il o'clock this morning, returned a verdict of guilty. fixing the punishment at fifteen years in the penitentiary.
 There is much dissatisfaction over the verdict, it-being the opinion of the public generally that the extreme penalty should have been imposed
 The grand jury. empanelled about six weeks ago to investigate the charges against Oakley returned four indict- ments. two for rape, one for arson, and one for assault with a weapon.
 Promptly after the verdict was render I'd in the case of assault on Matte Oak Icy, the prisoner was arraigned on the charge of raping his 9-year-old sister, Mamie Oakley and the trial was set for Tuesday the 18th inst This case has at tracted more attention than any case ever tried in the courts of Walker Coun- ty. ana the trial of Oakley next week bids fair to attract a very large crowd. In anticipation of trouble in the mean time, Sheriff Moore has taken precautions to protect the prisoner by placing an ex- tra guard at the jail.

COTTON FIGURES
 IN CENSUS OFFICE
BULLETIN WILL SOON BE PUB- LlsHED SHOWING AMOUNT OF
 COTTON GINNED IN U. s.

Washington, February N.-Director Merriam announced today that the con- sus offico Is about to publish a bulletin showing the amount of cotton ginned in tho United States during the census year (crop of 1S9g which has been prepared in the division of manufactures under the immediate personal supervision of MT. Daniel c. Roper of South Carolina.
 Speaking of this bulletin the director said the inquiry had resulted most satis- fsctorily and that he believed 1t would be received with the greatest interest in tho cotton growing states.
 The information was obtained upon 8 special schedule and was collected partly by the enumerators and partly through correspondence. It has enabled the cen sus once to compute the crop of 1899 as g, 644, So2 commercial bales, amounting to 4.672. .695, ,560 pounds, equivalent to 9,345.S91 bales of an average weight of 800 pounds. In addition the census office has been able to locate the crop, both uplands and seq island among the several states and their respective counties, accrediting each with its quantity of cotton produced. size of bale handled, cost of ginning and baling and the number of ginning establish ments,

A GO)D DEAL OF NONSENSE About "BIood PurIfiers" and "Tonics."

Every drop of blood. every bone nerve and tissue in the body can be renewed in but one way and that is, from wholesome food properly digested. There is no other way and the idea that medicine in It. self can purify the blood or supply new tissues and strong nerves is ridiculous and on par with the fol-de-rol that dys- pepsia or indigestion Is germ disease or that other fallacy, that a weak stomach which refuses to digest food can be made to do so. by irritating and infiaming the bowels by pills and cathartics.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure indi- gestion, sour stomach, gas and bloatine after meals, because they furnish the dt- gestive principals which weak stomachs lack. and unless the deficiency of pepsin and diastase Is supplied 1t is useless to attempt to cure stomach trouble by the use of "tonics' pills" and "cathartics" which have absolutely no digestive pow CT, and their only effect Is to give a tenn porary stimulation.
 One grain of the active principle of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 5000 grains of meat, eggs and similar foods and experiments have shown that they will do this in glass bottle at prop CT temperature. but of course are much more effective in the stomach.
 There is probably no remedy so univer- sally used as Stuart's Tablets, because 1t is not only the sick and ailing, but well people who use them at every meal to insure perfeect digestion and assimila- ton of the food.
 People who enjoy fair health take Stu arts Tablets as regularly as they take their meals. because they want to keep well; prevention Is always better than cure and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do both; they prevent indigestion and they remove 1t where 1t exists. The regular use of one or two of them after meals will demonstrate their merit and efi- ciency better than any other argument.

GEN. WHEELER MAY
 N0T BE CANDIDATE
His Friends in Morgan County Place Little Credence in Re-
 cent Stories

New Decatur, February A-(SpeciaD- The friends of General Joseph Wheel here place but little credence in the au- thenticity of the numerous stories which have recently appeard in the newspapers throughout the country relative to the general aspiring to the nomination for Congress at the close of Judge William Richardson's term.
 A gentleman of this city, who stands as close to General Wheeler as any man in the Eighth district, stated emphatic ally to the Age Herald correspondent to- day that the stories concerning the con gressional aspirations of General Wheeler are without any foundation whatever, and continuing he said originated by the generals political adversaries for politi- cal designs.
 A large crowd was in attendance at the business mems free street fair yes- terday. notwithstanding it was the cold est day of the winter. At a. m. the thermometer registered 17 above zero.

 The meeting lasted until midnight, when it was decided to adjourn with out electing the street committeeman, owing to the lateness of the hour. The reelection of Chief Camp was not a surprise to the people of the town, as he had been very popular and had given excellent service during the past administration. He was reelected without dissenting vote.
 The Board of Trade at their meet ing on Tuesday night unanimously recommended the alteration in the boundary line of the city limits so as to exclude strip of property lying between the Ensley Land Company's office on Center street and Village creek. Similar action was taken by the Board of Aldermen, and the repre- sentatives in Montgomery were noti- ned by telegraph to urge the passage of the bill.
 The bazaar that Is being given at the Laboratory building in Seven teenth street by the ladies of the Cath olic Church for the benefit of their new building, which has recently been completed, is being well patronized and will prove a success in every way. Contests for both the young and older people have been arranged so as to make the affair very attractive throughout the entire week. Special music has been arranged TOT the danc- ing each evening.
 The members of the Presbyterian Church and their friends were given a social at the home of MT. and Mrs. John s. Going tonight, which was highly enjoyed by the large number that attended.
 The regular consultation supper of the heads of the different departments at the steel plant was held in the Steel Works Cafe tonight.
 The building occupied by Louis Ron- ner, prior to his death, on corner of Avenue E and Seventeenth street, is still closed. This location is one of the most desirable in the city for an establishment of that kind, and 1t Is understood that there are a number of applicants for it. The building will probably be rented for use as a whole sale liquor house at the expiration of the contract made with Bonner.

The Constitutional Convention.

From the Columbian Chronicle.
 We are glad to see the growing inter est in the coming constitutional conven- ton manifested in several counties of the State. That every white man should feel himself personally interested in this matter goes without saying, and that every man should acquaint himself with the matter 50 that he will not be misled is also duty he, owes himself family and State. Democrats should spare no pains in informing the people relative to the provisions of the bill and the inten- tions of the Democratic party, which are in the shape of pledge, thereby thwart- ing all efforts to defeat the measure by misrepresentation or otherwise. We see no reason why all white men, regardless of past party utilization. may not unite in securing to the State constitution that will be fair and just to all and eliminate an element of suffrage that has been a bane to our politics for lol these many years, 6stg s H .ao-s :.

For Compulsory Education.

From the Thomasville Echo
 To close observers 1t is apparent that there is a strong feeling in Alabama that we need a compulsory education law, and the Echo is in full sympathy with the movement. It rattles those of us who have any State pride to see the large percentage of illiteracy credited, and just ly so, to this State. True there are many obstacles to be met and overcome. but they can and should be removed as promptly as possible. A law of that kind passed by this Legislature would work many hardships on account of inadequate school facilities, but the present session could make start by clearing up the way for the bill later on.
