Opelika, May 5.-(Special) )-General Harrison was interviewed today regard ing the report that he had decided not to enter the gubernatorial race in the approaching contest. General Harrison politely declined to discuss the subject.
 There has been some talk in this sec tion for some time that General Harri- son would be a candidate and when he went to the Dallas reunion 1t was cur rent comment that on his return the public would be enlightened as to his intention.

BESSEMER.
Preparations Begin for Rebuilding Hay
 House of Pipe Plant.

Bessemer, May 5.-(Special.) )-Prep- arations are already on foot for re- building the hay house of the United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry Company, destroyed by fire Saturday night. A portion of the material for the purpose will be on the ground tomorrow, and work will begin at once. Two houses will be built, one for the machinery and the other for storing the hay. The works will not have to be shut down, as the rope of hay for the cores is being made daily as usual in ample quantities to keep two pits running. It seems probable that the fire was of incendiary origin The men working in the hay house had recently been changed from task to day work and all had expressed dis satisfaction except negro named Bragg. The barn of the latter at Jonesboro was burned down Saturday night at the same hour, destroying the structure and considerable stock. At the same time shots were fired at the house, so that Bragg was unable to even attempt to save his property. These facts give color to the incen- diary theory.
 There will be no court this week until Thursday on account of the ab- sence of Judge B. c. Jones, who left tonight for Montgomery, to be gone until the latter part of the week.

It is further stated that the securities company was not formed for the pur- pose of restraining trade or lessening competition between the two railway companies, nor would such results fol- low from It's organization. Since the se- curities company was formed, both lines have voluntarily so reduced rates as to decrease their earnings upwards of a million dollars annually.

A GREAT SUFFERER FROM
RHEUMATISM.
cured By ST. Jacobs ON


Mr. e. G. Moore, OF Z, Phillips
Street. Kingsland:
Il was a great sufferer from Rheu-
matism for many years, during which
time tried many remedies, from
which | received but very little relief.
Being advised to use st. Jacobs Oil,
! did so, and am happy to say that
after few applications | felt great
relief, and continuing its use l can
now say | am perfectly well. st.
Jacobs Oil is, in my opinion, thing
which should be in every household.
What blessing. and what hours of
suffering, pain and misery would
have been saved had Mr.. Moore
adopted the wiser course and used
st. Jacobs Oil at first, instead of
wasting time and money on worthless
embrocations and nostrums with
which, unfortunately, the market is
flooded. The public should not lose
sight of the fact that St. Jacobs Oil
has conquered pain for more than fifty
years, and it isn't going to stop doing
the same thing now or at any future
time.-Fifty years record of pain
conquering is a record TO inspire con-
fidence.
