Famous Smiths.

"I have always thought that man
named Smith, or Jones, or Brown, was
handicapped in the race for a career,
but now l have reason to take more
hopeful view of it," says man named
Smith. 81 was talking recently with
an old friend of mine about some am
billions that have long cherished, and
he said to me: You'll have to change
your name. The world refuses to take
man seriously whose name is Smith
Although he said this jokingly, l was
somewhat impressed, for it was rather
in the line of my own thoughts. Sew
eral days later 1 picked up a copy of
who's Who in America a book that
contains biographical sketches Of per-
sons prominent in the professions and
in public life. Just out of curiosity l
turned to the Smiths, and it tickled me
to death to count 123 Of them, to say
nothing Of ten Smyths There were
also sixty Browns and forty-six
Joneses This was a revelation to me,
and il has given me renewed hope"

A SPANISH COUNT CURED OF LA GRIPPE.

NEARLY everybody is having la
IN grippe again. It resembles some
: what in the beginning severe
cold. A chill or cold spell is followed by
aching bones, sore throat, headache,
cough, and general weakness. It's course
may be quite slight or severe, but in
either case it nearly always leaves one
in miserable condition.
Unless Peruna is taken it will be
weeks or months before a person re-
gains his usual health. If the victim 10
fortunate enough to begin the use Of
Peruna at the commencement of the
attack the course of the grip is much
shortened, and the system is left in a
natural state.
People who have had la grippe, but
are still suffering from the after-effects,
should not neglect to take Peruna, as il
will promptly restore them to health.

THE WRECK OF THE MAINE.
How the Vessel Appeared to a Recent
Visitor to Havana Harbor.

Havana Letter to Detroit News-Tribune.
About the centre of the bay, and just
In front Of the city. conspicuously lies the
wreck of the Maine. Our steamer an
chors within 500 feet OF it. The unfortu-
nate vessel was apparently headed to-
ward the CITY at the time Of the explo-
sion. Her mainmast with the standing
rigging remains intact. Then just for
ward of it is a confused pyramid of iron
work all bent and twisted and misplaced,
probably twenty-five feet in each direc-
ton and twenty feet high. This. no
doubt. marks the spot where the princi-
pal explosion occurred. The great sur
bly, the ship decks, but If so are COM
pletely turned inside out. Tor the ribs are
apparent on the upper side. The only
piece except the mast which bears any
resemblance to its original form is a
heavy crane on the port side, which
stands out red against the black mass
behind 1t. We sailed around the wreck In
a small boat. but found it quite impos-
sible to guess where anv piece belonged
in the original ship. All is a confused
heap of scrap iron. All the forward part
OF the vessel is entirely submerged. but
a buoy and a few detached fragments
mark its outline. There are no indica-
tons OF any attempt to remove the wreck
and indeed there seems to lie no necessi-
ty for it's removal, as there Is abundant
sea room all around it and deep water
even close to it. 1t will probably remain
for ages a monument of Spanish perf1dy.
as the wreck Of the Oquendo will as a
monument of perf1dy's punishment.

A SECOND BILL FILED
NEW REALTORS AGAINST
JUDGE J. n. LovEJoY.
Original Information Alleging Neg
lect Of Duty of Probate Judge
Of Etowah County Quashed
by Supreme Court.

The Impeachment proceedings against
j.. II. Lovejoy. Judge of Probate of Etc.
wah County. were before the Supreme
Court yesterday. Upon motion of attor-
neys for the REALTORS original petition.
filed some weeks ago. was dismissed ows
ing to the withdrawal of three of the
REALTORS from the bill of information.
Immediately following this action a new
bill of information was filed with the re-
quired five REALTORS, who charge in their
bill of information willful neglect of duty
and corruption in office. The names of
the REALTORS. all citizens of Etowah Coun-
ty, are: Thomas l.. Johnson, Felix II
King. j. w. Lawrence, ]. G. Williams and
j. G. Prater
The bill of information contains thirty
eight specifications which recite in detail
several instances i'm which Judge
Lovejoy has it is alleged. been guilty of
acts constituting liability for impeach-
ment proceedings. These are confined
strictly to charges of official incompe-
tency and those concerned in the prose-
cution declare that there is no political
significance whatever attached to the
case.
The attorneys for the REALTORS are Geo.
d. Motley and Goodhue & Blackwood of
Gadsden. and those representing Judge
Lovejoy are Dortch & Martin and Hon.
o. r. Hood.
The date for the hearing has not yet
been fixed.

having been summoned to appear.

COTTON CROP ACREAGE.
Crop is Two Weeks Late-Predomi-
nance of Replies from Texas Show
the Season to Be Normal.

New York Journal Of Commerce
This paper has just completed a pre-
liminary investigation concerning the
acreage of the new cotton crop. The re-
turns published below are not in any
sense to be accepted as a final estimate
of acreage. They are merely given as an
indication of the present tendency among
planters regarding the new crop. it be-
ing too early to obtain final results as to
acreage. Nevertheless planting was
nearly completed over a large area of
the cotton belt when these advlces, aver
aging April q, were collected. SO that q
fair idea of the disposition of planters
can be obtained Nearly 1,l00 replies have
been received from our regular CORE
spondents in the various States, which
combined indicate a decrease of AZ per
cent in acreage.
Considering the high price of cotton this
is somewhat surprising, though readily
explained by the frequency with which
on correspondents report that planters
will grow more corn, food stuffs and to-
bacco this year. according to location.
This tendency is particularly noticeable
in Texas, Georgia Alabama and the Car
olinas. The scarcity and high price of
corn was, of cource, the explanation of
this movement. Quite a number of cor
respondents report planters using less
fertilizers than last year. The crop is
generally two weeks late.
The questions addressed to our CORE
spondents were these:
What is the per cent increase or de-
crease in cotton acreage in your vicinity
this year as compared with last?
is the new crop or its preparation ear
ly, late or normal?
Out of the 1.095 replies received, $50 re-
ported season late, PCS reported season
| normal, AZ reported season early, 3l6
reported crop in average of II days late
The average acreage for the entire
country-a decrease of AZ per cent-is
obtained by counting all replies reporting
same as last year at 100, with increases
or decreases.
Annexed will be found the replies to
| these questions classified by State.
