ASSURANCES GOOD
Although the Present Trade
Situation is CIouded.
A Heavy Business is Going Forward in Spite Of
Disturbances, Favorable Progress
OF Crops.
(By the Associated Press.)


New, York, juno 20 Bradstreets to-
morrow will say,
Conditions governing present and flu
ture trade show very broad contrasts.
While the immediate present situation
is clouded by the rather less favorable
industrial outlook and the prospect of an
extension of the coal strike in the bit
luminous fields, the continued favorable
progress made by all the leading crops
lends assurance that once the present
strained condition of industrial affairs
is relieved a large and prosperous fall
and winter business is assured. That
in spite of disturbances, past and pres
ent, heavy business is going forward
is proved by the continued fine reports
of railroad earnings for this season of the
year, very heavy bank clearings and
the comparatively small number of bus
mess embarrassments reported
With the exception of too much moist
ure in the southwest, interfering with
the harvesting and condition of wheat
and continued dryness in Texas spoil
ing corn and i!npairing cotton conditions,
the agricultural outlook is practically
without flaws. Timely rains have also
improved the cotton crop situation in the
South Atlantic, and eastern gulf States.
Tennessee, Arkansas and Indian Terri
tory. Louisiana and Texas note that
weather is dry and that cotton needs
rain.
Prices of farm products show the in
fiuence of improving crop conditions
Wheat is the one exception to the gem
eral weakness, but this is due to bad
weather reports from Europe. Corn
closes lower on the fattering outlook for
the growing crop. Cotton has restricted
long liquidation OH the arrival of needed
rains in further decline in spots and flu
lures in which the strength of the sta
tistical situation has been lost sight Of

Negroes Being Registered.

From time to time your correspondent has alluded to the rumors that came from Marengo County that negroes were being registered in large numbers In thai county. These runiors have always been denied and The Advertiser has always published the denials. But it now seems that these rumors are true and that large numbers of negroes are receiving registra- ton certificates in that county. Hon. James A. Steele. ex-member of the Legis- lature from Marengo. Is on q visit to Selma today. and on being questioned. said:
 'The Registrars have visited all of the strong negro beats, and ! know nothing of the acts or conduct of the Registrars in heats other than my own CMckinley). Tn that beat the registration was good deal of farce
 On being questioned more closely as to the number of negroes registered in Me KinIey beat. Mir. Steele said: II do not know the exact number. but l would think it was safe to say that twice as many negroes as white men received registration certificates in my beat. am sorry to have this to say, but l be- lieve 1t to he fact"
 When asked how many negroes had Teen given registration certificates in the county, Mir. Steele said: That I cannot answer. The Registrars say that they have not kept tabulated statement. and when questioned about the matter they look so .sheepish that I did not have the heart to question them too closely"

ANCIENT
 TORTURE
How it has Been Revived
 in Modern Times.

8.Ap ancient method Of p0lsoping aviuninals was to force them to sval.' jnv large quantities of bulls blood Bulrs blood is really no poison atsah. Yet the prisoner usually dieq h agony. This was caused by the c6agulati0n or hardening of the bulls blO0d in the Stomach. The pressure. of tpis sohd n,ase on the heart, lungs ana her vital nrrans almost always resulted fatally:
 That's just like indigestion. II vehr food doesn't digest it remains in a hard lump in the stomach. Gases are formed which crowd and sometimes actually displace other organs. Many Cases of supposed heart disease are due foindiecstiOn. The pressure upon the lungs iHterferes with breathing. A dis. ofderedstomacheffects hewhole body.
 7, Ky the use of such preparation as Kodol Dyspepsia Cure all this trouble is sremoyed. Before food can be assimi- lated into the system it must be re- 1u,,ed to proper condition by the di- cestiye fluids. If any of these fluids are lacking. perfect digestiQn IS im' possible. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure sup rlies the missing fluids. Stomach troubles can't be cured by dieting. The system demands both suf1ciency and a variety of food. You can't get we'll or stay we'll without 1t. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure enables the stomach tD take care of any kind of good food. It renders dieting unnecessary. II diaests what you eat. In this way ii rests the stomach This rest soon restores the stnmacht to perfect health
 Kodol Dyspepsia Cure helps the children too. Weak and sickly ittlt ones thrive on it. It never fails.
