 Him Before State Committee.

Him Before State Committee.
 Opelika, Sept 7.-(Special) )-Hon. F. M. Oliver of Chambers was in Opelika yesterday. He will contest the action of tho ChanCcry Executive Committee of this division in making a nomina- tion for Chancellor at Anniston several days ago. He has filed his notice of contest with the State Executive Com mittee and has employed counsel to represent him.
 There is considerable discussion of this question. Many Democrats think the action of the committee was irregular and illegal, as 1t was not definitely known. who constituted the committee. It is reported that com mitcemen elected by the Democrats in somo counties were unseated.
 There are sixteen counties in this division and between 10000 and 500 white registered voters and it no doubt would have been more satisfac- tory to the Democrats to have given them an opportunity of making a selec- tion,
 The assessment of Lee County for 1904 will amount to S4,S71S2S to which is to be added one assessment in ltiga- tion, which will make the total assess ment about s4,900.000, which will be only a small increase over 1903.

Cotton Planters in Need of Laborer.

New Orleans Times-D Democrat.
 cotton planters of Mississippi are begin ming to speculate upon the sutficiency pf labor at hand to gather the pres ent crop, and some of them are ncgo- tiating for foreign labor. It was re- gently announced in the press dis patches that large planter in North Mississippi had gone to Mexico for tha purpose of importing labor to gather his crop. estimated at about 6,000 bales. Since this dispatch was printed 1t is learned that some planters in the southern or southwestern section of the State are also negotiating for Mexican labor.
 The outlook for the crop is generally considered to be fairly good for an average crop, nothing more, and the magnificent prospect which showed up on the first rf July has dwindled con sidcrably since that date, on account of continued rGins, which caused shed ding and blight and some rotting of the under crop. Boil worms have also hurt many plantations in sections, and the new boil bug which has been dam aging the crop in this section has caused deterioration. The bug is not very numerous and has not been found except in spots, but where he has ap- peared he has done considerable harm

Always Half Sick Are the Women
 Who Have Pelvic Catarrh.

Catarrh of any organ, if allowed to progress will affect the whole body, Catarrh without nervousness is very rare, but pelvic catarrh and nervousness go hand in hand.
 What is so distressing sight as poor half-sick, nervous woman, suffering from the many almost unbearable symp- toms of pelvic catarrh3 She does not consider herself i'll enough to go to bed, but she is far from being able to do her work without the greatest exhaustion. This is Q very common sight and is almost always due to pelvic catarrh.
 It is worse than foolish for SO many women to suffer year after year with a disease that can be permanently cured.
 Peruna cures catarrh permanently. It cures old chronic cases as we'll as slight attack, the only difference being in the length of time that it should be taken to effect 8 cure.

Dog BIockades Car Line.

Much excitement was caused on Broad Street at late hour last night and the fun kept up for several hours. The racket started with dog fight on the street car track and one of the dogs was run over by a street car and badly wounded. The dog then held his place on the track and refused to move and would not allow anyone to come near him. This blockaded the next car, but the dog held his ground and succeeded in holding the street car motorman and the crowd at bay until someone produced a pistol and killed the wounded animal. The dog was then dragged to one side of the track and everything moved along smoothly until a Southern Express wagon pass ed along at midnight from the depot. The horses spied the dog almost under their feet and made for the sidewalk crashing into the brick wall in front of Saul Wolfs residence. A large hole was torn in the wall and the horses with the express wagon attach ed came down Broad Street at a break neck speed.
