TIRED OF DOCTORING

This is q familiar expression, one
that you hear almost every day. Thous-
ands of disease-ridden victims give voice
to it because they have doctored and
dosed until hope has almost fed. This
was the cry of hundreds; we might say
thousands, now enjoying robust health
before they thought of using Prickly
Ash Bitters, that great remedy for kid
ney diseases, liver, stomach and bowel
disorders which has done so much for
working people. One of the most re-
markable facts connected with the use
of this medicine is the uniform success
that has followed its use in cases that
would not yield to other remedies. Kid
ney diseases are its speciality, and ply
sicians have been forced to concede
merit to 1t in this connection while
condemning proprietary medicines as a
class. 1t also exercises a powerful,
cleansing and regulating influence in
the stomach, liver and bowels putting
these organs in good condition and pro-
noting good appetite, sound refreshing
sleep and cheerful spirits.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large fgure In red on the front label.
Sold Everywhere, $1,0O per bottle.

Work on Dam Preparatory to Develop
meat Of Electricity,

Admission, June 2I.-(speciai. )-From
President Chambers Of the Electric
Light and Power Company 1t Is learn
ed that the dam at Jackson Shoals, on
Choeeoloeo Creek near Tailadega, is
being rapiFly constructed. Messrs
Morris, contractors, have about atty
laborers employed on the work. and
with the exceptional low water for the
season now prevailing In the choeco-
locca, rapid Roadway in construction Is
expected.
The dam is to be of stone construc-
ton, thoroughly eemented. and is to
be completed by September when the
dypamos will be placed at the shoals
and light and power will be transmit
ted to the city. This is but the be-
ginning of the turning OF the water
power of this section into electric
energy. BY this plant II Is estimated
that 5000 horsepower will be develop
ed. As the demand for electric power
increases other sites on the Chocco-
loco, Talladega and Coosa may be
made auxiliary to the plant at compas
paFitvely moderate cost.

Selma, June 81.
The city of Selma and Contractor
Manly are at II hammer and tongs.
The row is over the new city building
which includes the market house, City
Hall and fire department headquar-
tiers. Ten days ago yesterday at
noon the City notified Mr.. Manly, the
contractor for the buildings. that I'M
less he put force of hands at work
at once, his contract would be for
feited. The hands were not forth
coming.
Today at noon the building commit
tee of the Council, the city attorney,
Architect Chamberlin and the Mayor
held a meeting and before them went
representative of the Bond Com
pany which had underwritten the con-
tract of Mr.. Manly. The latter want
ed to ascertain just where his COM
pany stood and was notified that the
city had considered the bond can
celled March 81. the original time for
the completion of the building, no ex-
tension having been asked for or
granted
The bond company expressed a will
iingness to continue the work and an
ish the building. but the city decided
to finish the work itself. The city
has believed that with the first pay
ment period passed It had a perfectly
safe contract and 1t has been a case
of indifference whether Mr. Manly I'm
ished the building or not.
Claims to the amount of about 81 100
have been filed with the Mayor and
he will see 10 IL that these are paid
IL possible. The contract is such leat
should the city determine to finish the
building itself and IL is done below the
contract price, the residue Is to so to
Mr. Manly and there is a likelihood
that he will get balance after the
Job is completed.
