 His Wife.

Huntsville. June 12.-(SpeciaD-Bu- ford A. Lewis, President of the Lewis Lumber Company, President of the Law and Order League and a steward of the First Methodist Church is the defendant ir a suit for divorce, filed today by his wife, Katie Lewis. Mrs. Lewis makes sensational charges of adultery against her husband, naming a negro cook as correspondent and al- leging that he has been guilty of in fidelity on various occasions. The bill of complaint further alleges that the defendant is not the proper person to have custody of their only child, Jo- seph Hitler Lewis, years old. The bill requires. the defendant to answer allegations in person.
 The affair has caused a great sensa- tfon here because of the social promi- hence of the persons involved. MT. and Mrs. Lewis are we'll known in sev- eral Southern cities. Lewis Is an ex- Mayor of Fayetteville. Tenn. He has taken a prominent part in reform poli- tics in Huntsville. A legal battle is probable when the petition for divorce comes up in the Chancery Court. The defendant has engaged counsel and will fight the case. He emphaticaily denies the truth of the allegations in the bill. and says in an interview that they are based on false information.

No GuessWork.

No intelligent person would think oi going to dentist to have the eyes treat. ed. An oculist would be promptly con suited. because he understands such dis eases.
 Many people, however, do not give the same intelligent thought to the treat. eases constitute a speciality just as dis. tfnctly as do diseases of the eye, and the busy practicing phytcian, who is ofter consulted. has not had the experience necessary to properly treat them. It is not because they are so difficult to cure that so many people are afflicted with q chronic disease all their life, but because they do not go to the proper physician for treatment.
 In my extensive practice, which is larger than that of any other specialist i:l the United States. have had thou sands of patients who had been treated derstood the case, although they were prominent and capable physicians. As a consequence they had been experimented upon, and given treatment in no way suit ed to the case. The result was years of suffering which could have been avoided.
 The experience which I have acquired In devoting myself exclusively to the treatment of chronic diseases for twenty years has equipped me perfectly, and there Is no guess work when I give my opinion regarding a case. I give each case closest study, and my treatment is specially prepared to meet all conditions, for although two cases may appear quite similar. the chances are that there Is some special complication which needs careful attention.
 By treating each case on its own merits and not relying upon any plan of ready made treatment. I have become the most successful specialist of the day.
 I rely solely upon my skill in medical science, and my patients get the most ex- pert treatment obtainable anywhere.
 I invite the afflicted to consult me, without cost. or write for complete symp- tom blanks, which will explain my sue cessful plan of home treatment.

FIGHT DUEL WITH HOES
YOUNG MEN WERE RIVALS FOR
 WoMAN's HAND.
Met in the Public Road and Trouble Followed-Miss Lucille Garrett Who Weeds MT. 0. A. Haupt
 of Indiana.

Anniston. June 12.-(SpeciaD aD-Newe reached this city last night of a duel with garden hoes that occurred late yesterday afternoon near Coldwater about seven miles south of Anniston.
 Two young men by the names of Johnson and Hendricks met in the public road. Both carried hoes, and when the meeting took place fight at once followed. In the difficulty Hen- dricks was dangerously wounded and if is feared that he is now in seri- ous condition from the wounds made by the hoe in the hands of Johnson. II ia the first duel of the kind to take place in this vicinity.
 The trouble was over young wo- man. to whom both were paying at- tention. Johnson had an engagement to call on the girl last Sunday night. When he arrived he was surprised to find his rival Hendricks in the parlor. He became so enraged that he imme- diately left the house. and 1t is said swors vengeance on his rival
 When the men met yesterday the fight resulted. Instead of using the romantic swords, with which in days of yore lovers used to settle difficulties in which fair maidens were concerned, common and modern garden hoes were brought into play.
 A home wedding occurred in this city this morning when at the home of Judge and Mrs. Fillmore Garrett their daughter, Miss Lucille Garr-at, was united in marriage to MT. c. A. Haupt of Montezuma, Ind. The couple left immediately after the ceremony for their future Indiana home. The groom was stationed here in the days of Camp Shipp, and it was then that he met Miss Garrett. Last week MT. Haupt came here to attend the we'd ding of his wife's sister, and insisted upon taking home his sweetheart. MISS Garrett Is the daughter or Judge Ei- more Garrett.

One or perhaps both of the Oxmoor furnaces of this company will be dismantled with view to concentrating the larger part of the company's furnace opera tions at Ensley. Boilers and machinery from the Oxmoor furnaces are now be- ing removed to Ensley which practi- cally means the removal of the Oxmoor furnaces to Ensley. The statement was made at the Tennessee Company's offices that one of the Oxmoor fur naces would never run again. No ex- planation was made by the officials as to this move, but it was learned from another source that it means probably the eventual consolidation of all the tron-making plants of the Tennessee Company at Ensley.

A DEFENDER OF LITTLE
CASHIERS INTENTIONS WERE
 NOT CRIMINAL.
He Turned Over to the Creditors of the Montevallo Bank Every thing That He Pos
 sessed.

Birmingham, June 12.-(Special)-A prominent citizen of Blocton, who was in the city this morning, made state men to a newspaper reporter concern ing the recent failure of the Shefby County Bank at Montevallo. The Bloc ton man was ardent in his defense or Burgess Little, cashier of the defunct institution. He stated that he Knew that MT. Little has turned over all he had to the creditors of the bank, in cluding his home and his wife's piano, and had not a dollar to his name. He was satisfied that there had been noth- ing criminal in his conduct and that he would come clear if brought to trial. The Blocton man stated that MT. Lit tie sent for him last Thursday night and told him the situation. At this time he explained the charge that he had received SLIGO on the day preced- ing the bank failure, saying that he did receive it, but that he did not have any idea at that time that the bank would fail. He said, so the Blocton man declares, that he paid this money to a Birmingham bank in satisfaction of a paper held here, and that he ex- pected to negotiate another loan. He failed in this and this led to the short age in money which resulted in the suspension. He disclaimed any crim- inal intent. The reporters informant stated also that he understood that MT. Little had been arrested at Tullahoma. Tenn, and was now on his way back to Montevallo. The person who made this statement relative to the arrest was a Mir. Johnson, who swore out the warrant against MT. Little.

been on the boulevard before. 1t was
all new to her, the hosts of gliding
sleighs, the hands, the crowds
assembled along the sidewalks to
watch the gay throng; and a thrill Of
innocent girlish pride arose in her
heart as she leaned back in the luxu-
rious little cutter with its red velvet
lining, it's glossy black fox robe, its
chimes of silver ringing bells, and
the arching neck and dilated nostrils
of the superb jet black horse which
drew them. Major Fontaine, in his
sealskin coat and cap, his long, droop-
ing mustache, and the diamonds that
sparkled in his linen-Kate thought,
as she glanced timidly up at him from
under the brim of her Gainsborough
hat, what a brilliant life it would be
to glide along like this at his side,
And presently they left the crowds
and the hotels and the swarming
sleighs behind, and dashed onward,
through lonely woods, alongside the
ghostly glitter of frozen cascades,
athwart dark glens where the orange
sunset lay in bars of gold, for miles
and miles of gliding swiftness. Until,
all of a sudden there was a creaking,
splintering sound-a mad forward
plunge of the jet-black steed-and
Katie was flung into snow drift by
the side of the road! 1t was nothing

Some one has said that there cannot
be found in literature a single Christ

OF course there cannot. The occasion
is the new birth of the world. Unless
the preacher is competent to say how

birth-unless he can comprehend and
declare the infinite greatness of the
