ASK READING MATTER.
Old Confederate Soldiers Need Lltera-
 ture-Citlzens to Contribute.

There are now at the Confederate home about twenty old soldiers. and they crave among other things reading mat ter of all kinds to relieve the monotony of their lives. There will soon be very much larger number, and Camp Hardee appeals to the citizens of this community to contribute reading matter to the Con- federate home. Any books that can be spared and left at Adjt J. L. Darby's office, in the open room in the Tomlinson building, on First avenue between Twen- ty-first and Twentieth streets. will be sent by the adjutant to the home. Any thing else that may be contributed to Camp Hardee and left at the same place for the benefit of the Confederate home will be delivered in the same way.
 The delegates to the reunion. besides many other Confederate veterans, will leave Birmingham at o'clock on next Wednesday, and will carry down to the Confederate home any contributions that may be left in the assembly hall.

AID WIMBS SAYS THEY MUST MAKE A FULL, FAIR AND CON- PLETE REMUNERATION OF THE PLANS AND PURPOSES.

Ad Wimbs. leading negro republican in the state, and one of the delegates who were excluded from the recent repub- lican convention. says that nothing will satisfy him but full, fair and complete renumerative on the part of "the repent ing lily whites of their plans. He writes; To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Whether we be able to get 1t or not the only thing that will satisfy me and numbers of other colored men in the state and nation, is a full, fair and complete renunciation on the part of the reprent- ing lily whites of their plans, purposes and declarations to make the republican party in Alabama only open to white men in it's councils. This renunciation must be so plain and positive that the wayfaring man can see. Simply changing the form of elimination will not result in peace in the party neither state nor national. The white leaders, as a rule, heretofore have voted the democratic ticket in state elections and the national ticket In national cleo tions. From the treatment of the col ored men by the lily white convention it will be a long day before we will ever be able to control the negro vote asolidly in state matters and the national re- publican bands In congressional elections will hang but loosely.

AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE.

Has 1t ever been your unhappy lot to be told by your physician that you must go to a hospital and submit to an opera tfon? If so, you remember with what dread and shrinking you awaited the day when you must endure the knife. The present day surgeon appears to be possessed by manianfor operating, es- pecially in cases of hemorrhoids or piles, and while the greater number of the pro- fesson do not recommend this Hast re- sort" unless they honestly believe 1t nec- essary, the fact remains that much needless operating is done, and the pa- tient put to much expense and suffering for what? To obtain a possible tempo rary relief; these words are used advis- edly because in nine cases out of ten the affiction returns and the patient is just where he started from. Oftentimes he could be cured much more simply and easily by the use of such a remedy as the Pyramid file Cure; this has come to be recognized as the best remedy on the market for the painful disease named, and the druggists now sell more of it than all other pile remedies combined. The writer personally knows people who were afflicted with the worst form of bleeding and .'rotruding piles and who were permanently cured by the use of Pyramid Pile Cure. In every one of these cases the attending physician had assured the sufferer that only by an op- eration could he rid himself of the dis ease; so iIuch for the infallibility of the doctors. This remedy, winch is sold by. all druggists at the low price of fifty cents. is in suppository form. is applied directly to the parts affected, and per- forms its work quietly and painlessly. The Pyramid Drug Co.,, Marshall Mich. will mail free to any address a book tell ing all about piles or hemorrhoids, their cause and curr.
 A suggestion is offered that If the reader Is afflicted, or knows anyone who is, this book be sent for. as it will be found invaluable.
