assessor, and in 1894 was elected to the H. linois State Senate, in which body he took a prominent part during last winters ses. sion.
 Senator Dwyer has recommended Paine's celery compound to many of his friends, and has yet to hear anything but the most favorable results from any one of them.
 Busy men and women threatened with failure of nerve force and showing the ef- feet of too prolonged, too hard or too ardu- ous work by periods of languor, depression. nervousness, dyspepsia or other signs Of nerve exhaustion, will find Paines celery compound an invigorator as superior to all other remedies as modern scientific meth- ods are superior to old-fashioned inaccu- rate ones.
 When Paine's celery compound is used other members of the family are quick to see the great gain in health.
 Paines celery compound Is the one known nerve feeder and nerve restorative. By its means all the functions of the body receive fresh supply of nerve food It encourages the body to produce an abun- dant supply of this indispensable vital force without which there can be no health, strength nor happiness in living. From the lack of nerve force men and women are driven to dependency, melan- choly insanity and suicide.
 There will be no neuralgia, no persistent headaches, no dyspepsia, no haunting pain over the eyes, no nervous exhaustion II Paine's celery compound is used.

Paine's celery compound has been for years, and is now, the general prescrip tion of most eminent practitioners of medl- cine in this country It is the result of the best scientific knowledge and research of the last quarter of a century. It is in no sense a patent medicine, and for that req son more physicians of high standing are using, prescribing and recommending 1t than any other remedy.
 Senator Dwyer had used various medi- cines, and they had done him no good. Just how Paine's celery compound was first brought to his attention he does not re- member, but it has done so much for his health that 1t has no more enthusiastic ad- vocate in the city of Chicago. He gives full credit to Paines celery compound for the great improvement in his health.
 Senate Chamber, General Assembly, Springfield H., February 25, 19Oo
 Gentlemen: It is with sincere pleasure that I furnish this testimonial to the su- perior merits of Paine's celery compound I have found it an efficacious and agree able remedy for various complaints which refused to yield to other forms of treat ment, and 1 can cheerfully recommend 1t.

TUSCALOOSA.
Democratic Committee Orders Primary
 to be Held March g.

Tuscaloosa, January 29.-(Special)-A meeting of the Democratic Executive Com mittee of Tuscaloosa County was held in the Tuscaloosa Club rooms yesterday. A primary election for the purpose of nom- mating a candidate for the constitutional convention from the eleventh Senatorial district and two from the county was or dered for Saturday, the 9th day of March. On motion the following persons were unanimously recommended as delegates to the State convention to be held in Mont gomery in March: G. W. Christian, w. w. Brandon, A. M. McGehee,, Dr. w. J. Smothers, H. B. Foster, J. s. Yerby, J. B. Ferguson, N. C. Holly, H. F. Hill and John Goodson. No candidates have announced yet for the offices of delegates to the con- stitutional convention. but it is surmised that several prominent candidates will be before the people. When it was thought the constitutional convention would be held in 1S99 George A. Searcy for the Senatorial district and w. c. Fitts and Henry A. Jones for the county were nominated in this coun- ty. It is reported that MT. Jones will not be a candidate this year.

Total deficit .......... ........,.. $364, ,Oo4 22
 .'This seems to be the condition of the treasury according to the estimates, not including as above stated, several smaller appropriations, presenting a condition of affairs that may well challenge the serious consideration of the General Assembly. To this amount must be added the cost of holding the constitutional convention, ap- proximately estimated at $5O,OO0, and also the estimated amount of $50,0OO, refunded license tax.
 "If the auditors figures and estimates are, to be relied upon. 1t appears that the General Assembly is face to face with one of three propositions: Provide adequate means for collecting sufficient revenue to meet the appropriations of the State, re- duce some of the appropriations already made or submit to an increased deficit In the treasury.
 Special Funds.
 "Under existing laws, the educational, the convict and the pension funds and possi- bly some others collected for special ob- jects, are set apart not to be used in the payment of any other appropriations than those specially designated as being charge upon them. These special funds constitute a large amount, and frequently present the appearance of large sums in the treasury, when, in fact, there are no funds in the treasury available for ordinary purposes It has probably been the custom in some instances heretofore to ignore the letter of these several laws and to use some oS these special funds in the payment of or dinary charges on the treasury, with the intention of replacing the amount when

TO PRACTICE IN CHINA.

 February IS.

Anniston, January 29.-(Special)-Dr T. W. Ayers of this city superintendent of the Sunday school of the Parker Memorial Baptist church. practicing physician and formerly a newspaper man, has recently decided to go to China as a medical mis- sionary.
 Dr. Ayers will take with him his wife and four of seven children. He will sail from San Francisco on the 18th of March.
 He Is sent to China by the Mission Board of the Southern Baptist church. and will go to a mission station situated at Hwang He-en, in the nothern part of China. Hwang Hi-en is in the county bearing the same name and on the Peichiel Gulf. It is a city of 100000 population and is near the Yellow river, the second largest stream in the Shinese empire Hwang Hi-en is six ty miles from Che Foo
 pr. Ayers intends to build a hospital in Hwang Hi-en and it is thought the mission board sending him will appropriate funds for the purpose.
 A farewt service will be given in the Parker Memorial church here to Dr. Ayers and family between now and the time they will leave Anniston for San Francisco.

the ordinary taxes find their way into the treasury But as these several laws pro- vide that these special funds shall not be used in the payment of other than the specially designated charges the use and will not, as long as the laws remain as they are, receive my consent or concur renee. Following this course of obeying the law as it is, the State will likely be often in the position of havins -everal hundred thousand dollars in the treasury, and yet not have dollar available for the pay ment of ordinary demands.
 ' I recommend, therefore, for your con- sderation, that you pass a law authorizing the treasurer to use these special funds to pay ordinary demands, when it can be done without disparagement to the special charges, keeping a strict account, however, of the amount used. and replacing the same as soon as other available revenues come in- to the treasury. I think this might be done without any injury, or inconvenience, to the claims which are special charges on these funds Thus using them will, in that event, be no violation of law
 Pardoning Board Needed.
 q have long been impressed with the fact that there should be a pardoning board to consider applica tons for pardon, at least in cases of felony. Such a board, at least ad- visory in it's nature, would, an my opinion, be consistent with the constitutional pro- vision on the subject of pardons. Such law would relieve the Governor not only of much abor and responsibility, thereby giv ing him time to attend to the ordinary duties of his office, but would be valuable in many respects that readily suggest them- selves to your minds. The only objection that presented itself to my mind was the expense of such board. On reflection it seemed to me that objection can be avoided

by having the railroad commission to com- pose the pardoning board without extra compens sa ton. mat commission Is general ly composed of very intelligent. learned men, and l am sure the placing of this ad- ditional duty upon the members of that commission will not be objectionable to them, and that they will have time to per- form the duties thus imposed upon them without disparagement to their present duties.
 T ask your early attention to this matter, which I consider very important one.
 Text Books.
 Tn the laudable efforts that the State of Alabama Is making to advance the educa- tion of the children of the State, there is no subject, just at this time, of more im- portance than the saving of the great ex- pense of procuring text books in the pub lie schools. Several States have made the experiment with very gratifying results. I do not propose to go into the details of necessary Legislation on that subject, but to call your attention to the same, that you may advise such legislation as will meet the evils of such constant changes of text books.
 Mob Law.
 Tt Is a source of modification and re- gret that 1 have to call your attention to the fact that present laws do not seem to be sufficient to repress mob law in Ala bama In the past few weeks three different cases are reported in the public prints, and in each instance the victim was not charged with a capital offense, and yet his life was taken by an unreasoning mob. In two of the instances I have called the at tenton of the law officers of the vicinity to the crime, but the information that I
