CAUSED BY PREJUDICE.
Charged That Proceedings Against
 Loveioy Have No Foundation.

Gadsden. April 9.-(Special.)-T irn- peachment proceedings begun before the State Supreme Court against Judge of Probate J. R. Loyejoy has caused great indignation among the people of Etowah County. as 1t Is charged that the pro- ceedings are caused by prejudice. The allegations made in the Impeachment pro- ceedings were taken before the recent City Court grand jury and efforts were made to have Lovejoy indicted or recon- mended to be impeached, but they failed.
 T. C. Galloway one of the five reiators named in the impeachment proceedings filed at Montgomery, made affidavit to- day and sent it to the Supreme Court Clerk. stating that he knew nothing of the institution of the proceedings. did not authorize the use of his narpe in that connection, nor did he authorize the in- stitution of the proceedings nor employ any one to institute or prosecute the prosecution of the same and requested the Court to strike his name from the petition and all other papers connected with the case.
 In the report sent out from Montgom- cry it was stated that Judge Lovejoy was elected by throwing out Gadsden beat. This is incorrect. as 1t was the Populist candidate who wanted Gadsden box thrown out.
 Your correspondent interviewed Judge Lovejoy. and while he answered all ques- tinns. he wished to only say that he felt sure that on investigation his office would be found the same result as that found by Examiner Sedberry January L who found everything correct and the books In excellent shape.

TONEY SIMS'S WIDOWS
TWO WOMEN ARE AFTER HIS
 @ ESTATE.
It Consists Merely of the Right to Sue for Damages Because of His Death-Department
 Store Weddings.

Birmingham, April 9-tSpecial.)-A few weeks since negro named Toney Sims was killed by some cars in the yards of the Birmingham rolling mills. There are two women claiming to be his widow and these claims are now being listered to by Probate Judge J. P. Stiles in Birming- ham and is to be decided by him.
 Ella Sims. who is from Montgomery County, claims that she was married to the deceased, Toney Sims. some years ago in Montgomery. and in support of this introduces an aged color sd minister who testifies to having united them in mar riage in about 1SS6 When Toney was killed she secured letters of administra- tion in Montgomery County and was pre- pairing to administer upon the estate. which. it is alleged. consists entirely on the gounds of action for the accident which caused his death. Sallie Sims of Birmingham, claims to have married the deceased last October and the records of the Probate office show that such a ceremony was performed. She further claims that she was living with him at the time of his death and at the very moment when he was run over was car rying him his breakfast.
 The case is being fought with much spirit.

Local Political Flurry.

A good deal of suppressed political ex- citement was occasioned on the streets this morning by a rumor that w. B.. Craig. a popular young attorney. was thinking of running for the State Senate from Dallas County. It was generally understood that his uncle. Mr. B. H. Craig, would be a candidate. Your rep resentative tried to see B. H. Craig to as- certain whether he had consented to get out of the race In favor of his nephew. It Is a well known fact that the uncle and nephew will not run against one an- other. Therefore, if W. B. Craig an- nounces. 1t is a foregone conclusion that B H Craig will not announce.
 Then there is John F. Burns. IL has been known all along that he has Sena- torial aspirations. He Is in the race. and says he is in to a finish. He has strong following and will have staunch workers behind him when he starts in to make a heated race.
 This new deal may bring Henry F. Reese before the people as a candidate for Senator. He has been urged by many to enter the race and he may now decide to do so. He has a large law practice and that may deter him from entering in, to an active fight for the position.
 It is evident that some sort of a dicker has been going on. It Is possible that an effort will be made to get the elder Craig and John F. Burns out of the way of W. B. Craig, and in that event he would have a waIk-over. if MT. H. F. Reese does not enter the contest
 Matters political are a little stirred up in Dallas, but inside of week the clouds will have blown by and then we can tell where we are att

THAT CHAPTER.

A Chapter on Scott's Emul. sion often holds a prominent position in the histories of weak children.
 The gist of that chapter lsually reads like this: e"Child weak and thin began with small doses of Scott's Emulsion three times a day-after a week appetite inn proved-soon a little stronger child more lively-weighs more.
 And SO it goes till the child reported well and strong.
