OFFICIALS OF HOUSTON GOVERNOR MAY NAME THEM IN NEXT FEW DAYS. County Superintendent Will Not Be Appointed Till June as New Superintendent Might Com
 plicate Educational
 Matters.

It was announced yesterday from the Governors office that the Superintendent of Education for the new county of Hous- ton would not be named until June. Hous- ton County was creat ted by the last Legls- lature. which also provided that the county officers should be appointed by the Governor.
 Probate Judge Leslie and Circuit Clerk Crowford have already been appointed by the Governor. All other county ofii- ces remain to be filled. The appointment of the county superintedent is not at this time necessary and it might complicate educational matter in the three counties out of which Houston County was carved. It will be remembered that Geneva, Dale and Henry all contributed territory to the new county. The public school funds for those three counties have already been apportioned under the County Superin- tendent for the three counties. A new Su- perintendent with new book would com plicate matters The appointment will be made In June in order that the new Su- perintendent may take the school census of Houston County as provided by law.
 The other county officials Of Houston may be appointed within the next ten days or two weeks.

ACCUSED OF VILE CRIME.
White Mi in Jail for Assault on

 Goodln has for q few weeks been em- ployed as a convict guard at Mills & Rawls turpentinr camp eight miles south of here and 1t Is stated that about mid night Sunday he went to the home of Coo Young. a negro man who lived in the neighborhOOd. and after running the negro from his house by shooting at him twice went inside the house and com mitted the crimes for which he is now in jail The girls say he told them that if they made any resistance or noise he would kill them. They also say he was at the house about two hours.
 In the meantime the negro man had gone to the house of Dan Stevens, a white man who lived near. and gave the

YOU CAN INTEREST HIM.
Any Man Over Fifty.

You can interest any man over fifty years of age in anything that will make him feel better, because while he may not as yet have any positive organic disease he no longer feels the buoyancy and vigor of twenty five nor the freedom from aches and pains he enjoyed in earlier years, and be very naturally examines with in- terest any proposition looking to the im- provement and preservation Of his health.
 He will notice among other things that the stomach of fifty is a very different one from the stomach he possessed at twenty-five, That greatest care must be exercised as to what is eaten and how much of 1t, and even with the best of care, there will be increasing digestive weakness with advancing years.
 A proposition to perfect or improve the digestion and assimilation of food is one which interests not only every man of nifty but every man, woman and child of any age, because the whole secret of good health, gool blood. strong nerves, is to have a stomach which will promptly and thoroughly digest wholesome food be- cause blood, nerves, brain tissue and every other constituent of the body is entirely the product of digestion, and no medicine or health" food can possibly create pure blood or restore shaky nerves, when a weak stomach Is replenishing the daily wear and tear of the body from a mass of fermenting half digested food.
 No, the stomach itself wants help and in no round about way either; 1t wants di- rect. unmistakable assistance, such as is given by one or two Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal.
 These tablets cure stomach trouble be- cause their use give the stomach a chance to rest and recuperate; one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contains digestive ele- ments sufficient to digest 5000 grains of ordinary food such as bread. meat, eggs, etc.
 The plan of dieting is simply another name for starvation, and the use of pre- pared foods and new fangled breakfast foods simply makes matters worse as any dyspeptic who has tried them knows.
 As Dr. Bennett says, the only reason l can imagine why Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are not universally used by every body who is troubled in any way with poor digestion Is because many people seem to think that because a medicine Is advertised or Is sold in drug stores or is protected by a trade mark must be a humbug. whereas as a matter of truth any druggist who is obserVant knows that Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets have cur ed more people of indigestion heartburn, heart trouble. nervous prostration and run down condition generally than all the patent medicines and doctors prescrip- tions for stomach trouble combined.

 Foreign iron has been quoted lower by some Southern makers, but there is nc considerable buying. though it is known that large requirements In the second half are yet to be provided for. Sellers have quoted as low as $15.75 at Birming' ham, but even s15.50 on round lots does not bring business.

 Cleveland, Ohio, Mar. 12.-The Iron Trade Review says:
 Buying of Lake Superior ore for 1903 began with this week, but too little time has elapsed since the announcement of prices for many estimate as to the atti- tude of furnacemen toward the advance of from 25 to 35 cents on old range ores, and of about 75 cents on Mesaba ores.
