WELL KNOWN MAN IS
 FOUND DEAD IN BED
MATTHEW c. WlLHlTE WAS ONE OF THE BEST-KNoWN MEN IN PULLMAN CoUNTY-coUNTY COMMISSIONERS IN SESSION.

Cullman, November .-(SpeciaD--Mat- tfiew C. Wilhite, an attorney of Cullman and one of the best known characters in the county, was found dead in his bed this morning at S:30 o'clock. He was a single man 35 years of age, and lived with his sister Mrs. c. E. Taylor.
 At one time, a few years ago, MT. Will hite was one of the most promising young attorenys in Cullman and was also at one time county superintendent of education of Cullman county, but he allowed drink to overcome him and a stalwart promising and exceptionally brilliant mind became a wreck on the syren rocks of dissipation. MT. Wilhite is an early riser and when he failed to come down from his room this morning his young nephew went up about half past eight to call him. He found his uncle dead and at once gave the alarm.
 Coroner Hoeppner called but decided that an inquest was unnecessary. He pronounced apopleXy superinduced by al cholism as the cause of death. Indiea- tions showed that he had been dead about six hours when found. There was no sign of suffering. The face bore peace full expression and even the eyes were closed as if death came in peaceful sleep. The funeral arrangements have not yet been made.
 The election board met yesterday and consolidated the vote of Tuesdays cleo tion. There were no material changes from the figures as published in these dispatches two days ago.
 The county commissioners have been In session all the week with the exception of Tuesday, election day, winding up the business for their term of office. This is their last session. The new board will take charge of the county affairs al once. c. T Bowden of the Third dis trict is the only old commissioner to hold over. The work this week has been only routine matters.
 The cullman cotton market has been very lively for the last two days. Thurs day there were over five hundred bales of cotton bought from wagons and there were almost as many yesterday. Today the streets are crowded with cotton wagons and the receipts promise to ex- ceed either of the previous days. Many farmers held their cotton until after the election and now that it is over are put ting the staple on the market Cullman is one of the best cotton markets in north Alabama.

Commonly, the first symptom of a rcold is a chilly feeling, accompanied by sneez- ing, or tickling in the throat. The most freouent of external causes are draughts, wet or cold feet or going from hot rooms suddenly into cold ones. More frequently there is an inner cause-namely the stagna- tiou of the blood caused by constipation or ,biliousness Almost the first symptom Is the feeling of cold in the feet and increased discharge from the nose.
 No one ever takes cold unless consti- pated. or exhausted, and having what we ,call nal-nutrition, which is attended with impoverished blood and exhaustion ofnerve force. Tonics consisting of large portions tof alcohol, iron or cod liver oil do not bring the desired changes in the blood, because they do not enter the system and are not absorbed into the blood, with the exception of the alcohol which shrivels up the red blood corpuscles when 1t does come in contact with them. We recommend the botanical extract of Dr. Pierce because it contains no alcohol, and offers a reasonable and scientific method of treating the blood, by improving the nutritive functions of the patient. The wColden Medical Discovery v Iaccompiishes this, by first restoring the lenfeebled digestive organs, so that food, Ithe natural tissue builder, will be digested land assimi1ated. Accept no substitute for Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. There is noth- ing "just as good" for diseases of the stomach.

ASSESSED VALUES ARE HIGH
Public Schools and Popular Educa- tional Facilities Are the Watch Words In That District-Peo-

BY FRANK V. EVANS.

Troy, November 12.-(SpeciaL )-These southeast Alabamians are so independent in spirit and in present conditions which here exist that no turn of the political wheel seems to jar them in the least. They are so strongly fortified by the blessings vouchsafed to them in soil. cli- matic and health conditions that the po- litical landslide of last Tuesday did not dismay them. They accept that result philosophically and in a patriotic spirit.
 Modern Farming.
 Here is fair illustration of what the farmers of this section are doing, which ought to prove an inducement to white immigration this way from the west and from all less favored sections. MT. P. M. Dyke, an enterprising farmer who lives near Ozark in Dale county made this year with three blows, assisted by his two young sons, the following crop: Sixty two bales of cotton, 600 bushels of corn, a large supply of sugar cane, peas po- tatoes, vegetables and fruits. He has a large pen of fat hogs from which he will make a full supply of meat-some to sell. Mir. Dyke has sold thirty bales of his cotton and is holding thirty-two bales to suit his own time and convenience as he is not in debt, and has good bank account.
 Early in the year he told his two boys that if the crop produced 50 bales of cotton they should both go to the St. Louis exposition, so the happy young men left for St. Louis the first of the week. Surely this is right living and perfect happiness if there is any such thing in this earth of ours
 Troy FIourishes.
 This fourishing city of Troy, in which your correspondent finds himself today, has population now of about 550O and there are many signs of growth and de- velopment here. Troy is not a new town, but there is new life here. Long time ago this place was called Zebulon, then Centreville and finally Troy, not for the ancient Troy, however, but in honor of Alexander Troy of North Carolina, father of the late Colonel Troy of Montgomery, who did much to build up Birmingham.
 The assessed value of property in this city is one and a quarter million dollars, which may be estimated at about one- half the actual values. The city has bonded debt of S130,OO0, put, like other
