MONTGOMERY IS SURPRISED.
Federal office-Holders Are Nervous
 Since the Bingham Decapitation.

Montgomery, November 10.-(Special)- The announcement that Internal Reve- nue Collector Bingham's head had fallen into the basket came as a great surprise here. The office-holders who have been threatened were feeling easy since the election, believing that no further sacri- fees would be offered to the negro vote at the north
 The rumors that District Attorney Reese was to go had been the most per sistent, but even he was feeling cont ent and safe. Now no one of them feels se- cure, and the rumor that Reese Is to give way to ex-Governor Oates is revived It seems certain, however, from all &C., counts, that N. l.. Steele will be assist ant to Judge Roulhac in the northern dis trict. Judge Roulhac requested his ap- pointment some weeks ago, and this is usually equivalent to its being made. But in Steele's case 1t was held up to investi- gate his lily white record as he had been secretary of the state convention and was elected secretary of the state execu- tive committed He had nothing more to do with the campaign, however and it is said that difficulty in his way has been smoothed over and his appointment is likely to be announced any day.

NEGROES ARE READY
 TO LEAVE ALABAMA
AGENT IN DECATUR ASKING THEM TO GO TO LIBERIA, AND AS THEY CAN'T VOTE MANY MAY GO WITH HIM.

New Decatur, November 1o.-(special.)- For several days past a negro has been in this locality advising negroes to leave Alabam and go to Liberia, Africa. Thus far he has succeeded in getting about hundred negro families in Morgan county to agree to go. Several negroes have sold all their property here and say they are going to the promised land of Siberia with this negro. It is said he is charging them fee of $2 each Whether or not he is a fraud is not known. The negroes say they don't care to live in Alabama any longer, since only a few of their num- Der are entitled to vote in the elections under the new constitution.
 They say that the democrats disfran- chised them and that the ones who are qualified to vote under the provisions OF the new state constitution nave been kicked out of the republican party; and, as it seems they have no political rights in Alabama, they have made up their minds to leave the United States. Many of the negroes here say that while the republican party has gone back on their race, yet President Roosevelt is their friend and that he has demonstrated this by appointing men to office in Ala bama that were suggested to him by Booker Washington.
 In the late election few negroes voted; they said they wanted to show the lilly whites'' that they couldn't win in Ala bama without the negro vote.

l Will Cure You of Rheumatism
EIse No Money IS Wanted.

After 200o experiments, I have learned how to cure rheumatism. Not to turn bony joints into flesh again; that is inn possible. But I can cure the disease al- ways at any stage, and forever.
 ask for no money. Simply write me A postal and I will send you an order on vour nearest druggist for six bottles Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Cure, for every druggist keeps it. Use 1t for a month and. if it succeeds. the cost is only s5. .50 If it fails, l will pay your druggist my self.
 have no samples, because any medi- cine that can affect rheumatism quickly must be drugged to the verge of danger. I use no such drugs. and 1t is folly to take them. You must get the disease out of the blood.
 My remedy does that, even in the most difficult, obstinate cases. No matter how impossible this seems to you, I know it and take the risk
 have cured tens of thousands of cases in this way and my records show that 3e out of 40 who get those six bottles pay gladly.
 have learned that people in general are honest with a physician who cures them. That is all I ask. If fail don't expect penny from you.
 Simply write me a postal card or letter. I will send you my book about rheuma- tism. and an order for the medicine. Take it for a month. as it won't harm you anyway.
 If 1t fails, it is free and I leave the decision with you. Address Dr. Shoop, Box 6So Racine. Wis.
 Mild cases, not chronic, are often cured by one or two bottles. At all druzsists-
