The twentythird verse teach US
that the fourth boast was to be the
fourth Kingdom on earth, the read.
or can realize then, that the fourth
beast was beastly man who ruled
beastly kingdom.
And in the 25 verse we learn
that the ten horns were ten kings
that should arise after the four had
arose. So We are made to believe
the beasts and horns are beastly
men who should arise in the pow
or of kings being diverse from each
other. And especially the little
horn, which made war with the
saints and over came them as you
can read in this language.
Il beheld, and the same horn made
war with the saints, and prevailed a.
gainst them;
Until the Ancient OF days came, and
Judgment was siven to the saints of the
most High; and the time came that the
saints possessed the kingdom (Dan. Z

that this has very close connec-

 Perhaps no remedy Is go safe reliable and convenient to stop a cold or obsti- nate cough as Stuarts catarrh Tablets
 The extract of bloot root contained in them, combined with the red gum of the Eucalyptus tree, seem to put the mu- cous membrane of the nose, mouth and throat in a condition to throw off the germs of catarrh, bronchitis and con sumption, and as they are taken internal- ly they seem to equalize the circulation and place the body in that condition of health which resists and throws off the germs of disease.

Montgomery. January B. (special) = The trial of E. B. Young, cashier of the Eufaula National bank, under indict- ment for sundry violations of the na- tional bank act. is being stubborniy fought at every point. The first point raised on motion to quash was that the indictment of forty-six counts was vic- ious for misJoinder of offenses.
 The court held that 1t was perfectly proper and in accordance with law to join any number of offenses or trensac- tions belonging to the same class or fam fly occurring at different times bu. prob ably In the same general way and com mitted in the conduct of a bushes, like a bank. He therefore required the dis. trict attorney to elect whether he would proceed on those counts charging false entries in the books or on those charging conversions, holding that both these classes should not be proceeded on to- gether.

ON THE LOOKOUT
 FOR LABOR AGENTS
SINCE "PEG LEG" WILLIAMS LEFT HUNTSVILLE THE FARMERS ARE READY TO GIVE ANY SUC- cEssoR ROUGH TREATMENT.

Huntsville. January s.-(Special.)- )-Since "Peg-leg" Williams was discovered here in quest of negro farm hands and given an hour to get out of town, local plant CTS have been on the lookout for other labor agents, and if any are found they will be roughly treated. It was reported over the city yesterday afternoon that J. M. Kirk of Cunnison. Miss, was here to take away a lot of negroes. Mir Kirk, however, said he was seeking only few families for his own plantation, and he declined to furnish transportation for any negro when the condition of affairs was presented to him.
 Farmers in this county have already lost thousands of dollars by the flight of negro tenants who owed them furnish ing bills This last crop year was disas- trous, and not one farmer in ten paid expenses. Hundreds of negroes have be- come involved in debt and are not slow to accept the offers made by labor agents to jump their debts and leave the coun- try.

MURPHREE WANTED PARDON.
Man Whom the Girl Released Had
 Freedom Almost In Sight.

Montgomery, January S.-(Special.)- It develops that Mayburn Murphree the convicted criminal who cloped from the Blount county Jail with the sheriff 8 pretty daughter, was an applicant for a pordon at the time of his escape, and a hopeful one at that. His attorney, G.. w. Darden of Oneonta, was here last week to make application to the governor and having a strong showing the execu- tive mind was turned toward clemency for his client.
 Darden went to Lafayette on some other business expecting to see the gov ernor and press him for decision as he returned. While away though, Murphree put himself beyond the power of the gov- ernor to help him by transferring himself to the list of escapes Darden was here yesterday and appreciated the joke as much as the state house officials.

chose to proceed on the remaining six teen relating to false entries. The de- fense then made the same contention as to multiplicity, and the court ruled clear ly and positively that these counts as to 6 number of false entries were properly joined.
 Tho argument of the defense then changed to a plea of possible injustice to the defendant, and as the matter was purely in the courts discretion, Judge Jones stated that rather than any possi- ble injustice should be worked, and as the grand jury was still in session and could find separate indictment for every transaction, he would require the gov ernment to elect one single false entry and go to trial on that. In obedience to this charge the district attorney elected to proceed on the counts which charge false entries in the cash account de- signed to show the presence in the vaults of over s400o more than was really on hand, it being represented by warrants of the city of Eufaula already paid On this transaction the case will therefore turn. The defense promptly gave notice that 1t will file a demurrer to the twelve counts relating to this charge.
