ed. The discipline requires that the elec- ton be held in the church and so long as the doors were closed the trustees had a great advantage.
 On the other hand Elijah Cook and his associates claim that they are legally elected for life and that they don't in- tend to have any Board Of Preacher Smiths choosing. ,,
 A member of the party of Rev. C. H. Smith, the pastor. called at The Adver- tiser office to give the minister's version of the controversy:
 ''It has been said that the most or the coneregauon was opposed to Pastor Smith. This Is wrong" said he. Near iv all the congregation is standing at his side in this affair. He has acted Ialr and as the church discipline provides When the terms of the present Board or Trustees expired he notified them that an election would be held to hil the va cancy. The trustees could have been can didates for reelection if they wanted to but they were afraid that they would set beat. They knew that the members Of the congregation favored the minister and would stand by him. After the er. trance had been forced one of the most orderly meetings in the history or Oio Ship Church was held. Three of the old trustees were elected which shows that everything was conducted wItn fairness. Pastor Smith has the complete confidence of a great majority or the members of the congregation ana the trustees know 1t. A.,

Father Revilie more than Auetained his reputation. Hie address was one Of the most eloquent heard in Montgomery in a of word painting and his periods were singularly impressive. He had his large audience with him from the start and he kept their undivided attention. He pic- tured viyidly the leading incidents in the lessons from them. The address was enough to hear t.
 ThS early maas of yesterday morning was attended by the members of the two der of Hibernians in body. Nearly 100 mon were in line. All the members re- ceived holy communion. At this service Father ReYille delivered a short sermon.

 It was the fifth annual celebration of St. Patrick's Day in Montgomery under the auspices of the Ancient Ordct of Hi- bernians. but unlike the preceding ones there was no formal public celebration.

DANGEROUS SURGERY

Many people suffer from piles. because after trying various lotions. saives and ofntments without relief or cure, they come to the conclusion that surgical operation is the last resort, and rather than submit to the shock and FISK 10 Hts of an operation.| prefer to suffer on; very cften, however, the afflicted one Is over persuadad to resort to the knite. ana even though the operation is apparently suc- cessflL and there is complete recovery from the shock incident thereto, the re- suit Is Invariably the same; the piles sooner or later return because their cause has not been removed. This result Is a logical one, inasmuch as the knife re- moves ths effects of the disease only, while the cause remains as before. There is claimed to be remedy which does re- move the cause, hence eradicating the disease and that is the Pyramid Pile Curc it is in the form of suppository. is applied directly to the parts affected, and brings about a complete cure quietly and painlessly.
