IMPEACHMENT ASKED
GRAND JURY REPORT ON CIR-
 CUIT SOLICITOR.
Incompetent to Fill the Position Be- cause of Illness-Assistants Get Fees Which Should Go
 to the State.

Cullman. March 27.-tSpecial)-Th' grand jury. which has been in session Fore for the past ten days. adjourned late yesterday evening. Its report was made public today and when 1t was learned that it Lad recommended the impeachment of Hon. R; H. Lowe. so- licitor of this circuit. there was some surprise. though most of the people hcre endorse the action Following is an ex- tract from the grand jury report:
 We desire to report and recommend that from information which wc con slider reliable. 1t Is generally known that Hon. R. II. Lowe. who is at present holding the office of Circuit Solicitor of the Eighth Judicial Circuit. since his election has been incompetent to fill said office and the fees that should go to the State to help pay his salary have been paid to Solicitors pro tenn. who have dis charged the duties of the office of So- licitCr at the different courts in the cir cult and while we are in sympathy with Mir. Lowe in his afflicton. We believe that the public interest demands that he be impeached. We therefore recom- mend that he Hon. R. H. Lowe, Solicitor of the Eighth Judiciary District of Ala bama be impeached for incompetency and neglect of duty"
 The sentiment here is that MT. Lowe will be impe ached and all are wondering who will be hts successor. If there IS any aspirant Tn this city the fact has not been made known.
 Out of thirty-four true bills found by the grand jury seventeen were against saloon men of this city.

NO BLAME ON SHERIFF
BEN ZEIGLER WAS NOT TAKEN
 FROM MIR REEVES.
Governor Jelks's Inquiry into the Lynching in Pike County. Erroneous Reports Have
 Been in Circulation.

Troy. March 2s-(Special. l.)-Something of a sensation has been caused by the erroneous rumors that the negro, Ben Zeigler. who was lynched in this county Saturday night, was taken from the sher- iff and his deputies.
 Hon. R. H. Parks. Solicitor and Sher- if Reeves have both received letters from the Governor asking for reports concern ing the matter. V
 The Sheriff nor any one else in this city knew of the lynching until Monday, after the negro had been Iynched and buried.
 Certain persons living in the neighbor- hood of Tarentine, about twenty miles southeast of this city. had been espe- cially appointed by the Justice of the Peace before whom the negro had been arranged, to bring him to the county 5ail at Troy. When these men had ar- rived within about six miles of Troy. the negro was taken from them by an armed mob. and carried back to Whitewater Creek, about ten miles from the city. and there lynched.
 The sheriff and his deputies knew noth- ing of the matter until the following Monday

 The Registrars for Fillmore County re- port a full registra ton of the white vote of the county in that half of the county which they have canvassed. When the Constitution was before the people for ratification considerable opposition was worked up by its opponents through the erroneous statement that the poor white men would be disfranchised with the ne- gro. but all fears have been dispelled and every one is pleased with the instru- ment. especially the franchise clause. Very few negroes are being registred.
 Tn farmers of Elmore are exceedingly blue over the continued rains Very lit- tie preparation for the years crop has been made.
 One package of Tuesdays issue of The Advertiser failed to reach this office un- tid Wednesday morning. It looks a lit- tie strange that one of two packages mailed ir the same pouch should be twenty-four hours late in arriving. Tn } people here hate to miss receiving The Advertiser as it Is through this medium that they keep informed of the happen fngs of the outside world.

ST. ELIZABETH HOSPITAL


 It is said that the Hospital marks the ad- vance of civilization. The modern Hospital is certainly much more than "a refuge for the sick and injured" Many of the problems of medical treatment, of surgery, etc, have been worked out within it's walls It is the seat of all that is best in practice or in remedies, and the fact that Dr. Hnr- ter's Iron Tonic is used in so many of the best hospitals is tribute to it's merit. Years of ofexperience and patient trial have demon strated it's usefulness and reliability for convalescents, in cases of debility, old age loss of appetite, impoverished blood, etc., and hence it has been generally adopted Don't be fooled. New and miraculous remedies are put on the market every day, with great noise and bewildering lot of faxed testimonials. Don't be deceived, you know that Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic is all right or it would have been crowded out of the market years ago, along with the many others that have come and gone. It has not only survived but nourished be- cause it has genuine merit.
 Dayton, Ohio, Feb. i7, 1901. As an experiment we began using pr. Harter's Iron Tonic in St. Elizabeth Hospit- al, in the treatment of convalescents and cases of chronic debility and have found 1t very eficacious. We also found 1t particu- lariy valuable in treatment of senility, loss of appetite, or impoverished blood. We recommend it highly

BIG DEAL RUMoRED.
American Bridge company's Plant
 Reported Sold.

New Decatur. March 27-(Special)- What seemed to be well founded re- port was circulated over the city today to the effect that Colonel R. H. Adams. Superintendent of the Decatur Water Works Company. together with associ- ates, had purchased the property of the American Bridge Company in this city,
 When seen by your correspondent Col onel Adams would neither deny nor con- firm the report, saying: 1 have nothing to say on the matter"
 The property consists of number or acres covered with large, substantial buildings and Is considered to be the most valuable industrial property in the city. It was reported that Colonel Adams and associates would establish large manufacturing industry on this property.
 Later 1t was ruI6ored that James E. Mooney, a millionaire of Cincinnati had purchased the property, but Colonel liar Vey Lewis, a brother-in-law of MT. Moon- ey's, said he knew nothing of 1t.
 During the past week more property has changed hands here than has been sold during any twelve months since the boom days of 1Ss6-S. Within the last two days the Decatur Land Company have sold thirty residence lots which are sure to be improved.
 There is no boom. but real estate val ues are steadily advancing One man to- day was offered $200 cash for lot which he paid $146 for ten days ago.

OBSTACLES OF MANY KINDS WHICH
IMPEDE ITS PROGRESS.

Good Roads q Mighty Force ns a

Work For the Roadmaker.
One Of the most instructive papers Of
the good roads convention in Buffalo
In September was by Lewis NJ. Haupt,
Philadelphia, member Of the isthmian
canal commission.
Every forward turn of a Wheel" he
said, "is n revolution and typifies prog
ress. 1t is immaterial whether 1t be a
wagon wheel or n car wheel, a fly
wheel or a water wheel, a turbine or a
propeller. pinion or pulley, bicycle
or a mobile. 1t is always fascinating
to see the wheels 60 round.
"But behind the wheel to make it re-
volve there may be n crank; behind the
crank there must be motor; behind
the motor an artisan; behind the arti-
san a capitalist; behind the capitalist
an inventor; behind the inventor there
is the great Creator Of mind and mat
ter. the incomprehensible God, the
handspring Of all activities and posi-
bilities.
"Intuitively the mind is carried back
In the spirit of the days Of old, when
the prophet Ezekiel stood OH the banks
Of the river Chebar, in the land Of the
Chaldeans. and. looking into the opened
heavens, beheld the four living crea-
lures which had the likeness Of a man
going upon wheels.

and their appearance and their work
was, as II were, a wheel In the middle
Of wheel. ." The spirit Of the liv-
Ing creature was In the wheels. And
whithersoever the spirit was to go they
went, thither was their spirit to co.
From that day to this the earth has
trundled around her course in yearly
laps, bearing to the children of the
present century the fruition Of this
prophecy Of the spirit and the wheels.
Well may it be said today that every
thing goes upon wheels, but there are
wheels and wheels. Some turn more
easily than others and do more work
at less cost, and thus we are brought
directly into contact with the surface
or roadway which the wheel harnesses

I'm addition to the wheel and its
way there are obstacles of various
kinds which impede it's progress.

or cataract in the stream, a chasm in
