HEFL|N DISCUSSES MATTERS POLITICAL Certain soIidity of Alabama Democratic Delegation THINKS PARKER A WINNER Has Confidence In Patriotism of the People-Rooseveltis Breeding
 Dangerous Sentiment Among

THINKS PARKER A WINNER

J. Thomas Heflin, member of congress- elect of the Fifth congressional district, has been in the city during the week vis- ting his brothers and mngling with his numerous Birmingham friends.
 As d candidate for reelection in Noyem- Der MT. Hehn is calm and confident. Asked as to conditions in the Fifth he said:
 Every county in my district is safely democratic In my race for the short term last spring had no opposition whatever. If the republicans had even a ghost of chance to win, they would have had a candidate in the field. While they have out candidate now in the person of MT. Walker of Macon, am not at all alarmed. In fact MT. Walkers candidacy is not even seriously consider ed by either side"
 The Seventh District.
 Questioned as to his views on the Sew enth district, MT. Hefiin remarked: John Burnett is strong in his district. His peo- pie know that he is honest and loyal to their interest. He is a fine campaigner and his election in November is absolutely certain.
 "The mere suggestion that there is any possible chance for a republican, populist or fusionst to win over Burnett is ri- diculous. William Howard is the strong est man who ever opposed organized de- mocracy in the Seventh, and if he had thought there was any earthly chance to win, no one who knows the man could doubt for moment that he would have accepted the nomination of the republican, populist combne'
 Speaking of the outlook for success of national democracy in November, MT. Hef1in said:
 "It seems to me that democracy will win. I have my belief upon the wisdom of the party in selecting leader, the fine points possessed by Judge Parker so force- fully illustrated by his magnificent speech of acceptance and the patriotic desire upon the part of the great masses in this country to make a change in the ad- ministration of our country,s affairs.
 The Administration.
 'The recent conduct of the republican party has done much to arouse among the mean and vicious of the negro race a spirit of restlessness and discontent The present administration has poisoned them with dangerous doctrine and are beholding already the obnoxious fruit of the tree they have planted.
 MT. Roosevelt's provoking courtshp of equality with the negro is fraught with serious concern to the south. It has, in my Judgment already been responsible for many of the outrages that have been committed among us. From the din- ing of Booker Washington and the Indi- anola postoffice affair strange ideas have been sown broadcast in the minds of many negroes. MT. Roosevelt has de- liberately placed fre-brands amongst pow erful combustibles'

KNIGHTS MAKE ARRANGEMENTS.

W. A. MITCHELL. Observer.
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1904-10-06

Backed up by over a third of century
of remarkable and uniform cures, a record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever
attained, the proprietors and makers of
Or. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel
fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in
legal money for any case of Leucorrhea,
Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling of
Womb, which they cannot cure. All they
ask is a fair and reasonable trial of their
means of cure.
Very often a married woman or young
girl does not know who to turn to for ad-
vice in circumstances where she dislikes to
talk with the family physician about deli
cate matters. AT such times write to DR..
r. " Pierce, chief consulting physician to
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
of Buffalo, N. Y, for free consultation and
advice, and the same will be held as sa-
credly confidential. 1t is foolish to consult
women friends or persons without medical
training.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription con-
tains no alcohol, is entirely vegetable and
was the first exclusively woman's tonic on
the market-it has sold more largely in
the past third of century than any other
medicine for women.
All other compounds Intended for women
only are made with alcohol, or alcohol is a
large component-this alcohol Injuries the
nerves. The little red corpuscles of the
blood are shrunken by alcohol. All such
compounds, therefore, do harm.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets invigorate
the stomach, liver and bowels. Use them
with the uFavorite Prescription when a
pill is required One is a laxative, two, q
mild cathartic.

Party Coniesses It's Error.

What we may know for sure is that
the country does not regret any of the
leading achievements Of the pasteight
years of republican rule. We speak
thus confidently, for the democratic
party now stands confessed before
the country as having been in
error in its opposition to the most i'm
portant of these measures. 1t is seek
ing the election with platform which
virtually confesses that the party was
wholly wrong In the last two presi-
Dental campaigns. 1t has a candi-
date who openly confesSes that 1t was
wrong in every vital particular. 1t
comes pleading that il has seen the En-
TOR of its ways and that as a reformed
bungler it can safely be trusted with
power. 1t has no argument or charge
TO make against the general sum Of
republican policies.

Cause OF Lockiaw.

Lockjaw, or tetanus, Is caused by a
bacillus or germ which exists plentifully
in street dirt. 1t is inactive 90 long as
exposed to the air, but when carried be-
meath the skin, as in the wounds caused
by percussion caps or by rusty nails. and
when the air is excluded the germ is
reused to activity and produces the m ost
virulent poison known. These germs
may be destroyed and all danger of lock-
jaw avoided by applying Chamberlain's
Pain Balm freely as soon as the injury
is received. Pain Balm is an antiseptic
and causes cuts. bruises and like in
iuries to heal without maturation and
and in one third the time required by the
usual treatment. 1t is for sale by all
druggists.

ChamberIain's Cou Oh Remedy.

No one who is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity OF Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy. 1t not only cures colds
and grip effectually and permanently,
but prevents these diseases from result
ing in pneumonia. 1t is also certain
cure for Group. Whooping cough is not
dangerous when this remedy is given.
1t contains no opium or other harmful
substance and may be given as conf
IDENTIFY to baby as to an adult. 1t is
also pleasant to take. When all of these
facts are taken into consideration it is
not surprising that people in foreign
lands, as we'll as at home, esteem this
remedy very highly and very few are
willing to take any other after having
once used it. For sale by all druggists,

Township Sunday School
Convention.

The township convention held
at Mt. Olive church on the 28th
ult. carried out the greater part
of its program, although the
rain in the forenoon interfered
largely with the attendance. The
evening session was postponed,
owing to the prospect of rain.
but it is purposed that the meet
ing arranged for that evening
will be held at the same place in
a few weeks. The convention
particularly enjoyed the paper
of Miss Grace Irwin. of Bour-
bon, and the desire was general
that she may again have a place
on the convention program
Mrs. Hume, always interesting
and ever profitable in all her
themes, gave a setting to the

per and added to the valueof the
days teachings. DR.. Brown at
each convention proves ready
and capable manager of the

exercises that, if wisely conduct
ed, makes one of the important
hours of the day. Prof. Bailey
is an enthusiast of the "home
department" and is always ready
to present that branch of the as
ISOLATION work. County Supt.
81. G. Thayer was able to be
present in the afternoon and
spoke words of excellent coun-
sci bearing on the phases of the
work. Hon. John w. Parks in
stalled the newly elected town
ship officers in an address as COM
mendable as was ever given on
a like occasion. 1t is probable
that an afternoon conference of
superintendent and workers will
be held reas onably soou at Mt
Olive, with an evening session
for the public either at Mt. Olive
or at lnweOd.
The entertainment and dlnrer
provided, was bountiful and ex-
cellent in the highest degree.

ways doing great things, and on

they are entitled to "three cheers

Representative Babcock, head o: the
republican congressional campaign
committee. denies the reports that he
said that while Roosevelt's election
was certain, the democrats had a
chance TO carry the HOUSE. The DEM
ocrats have repeated this story so
often that many of them begin to be
lieve it. Very few sensible democrats
imagine that Parker can WIN, but
some of them seem to think thele
would be possibility for them to
choose a democratic House this year,
to obstruct Roosevelt during the first
half of his new term, and they have
been quoting Congressman Babcock
as saying something on that line.
There were many close districts in
the congressional election of 1902. In
every election for Congress there are
close districts. But there were about
as many democrats elected by small
majorities as there were republicans.
The chances are that the republicans
will make gains in the close districts.
The conditions all point to republic
can success. All the advantages can
didate, platform and record are on
the republican side. A democratic
victory under such conditions as pre-
vail now would be unexampled in the
country's history. There will be no
democratic victory this year for either
Congress or President.
Some of the democratic newspapers
are beginning to say that If Roose-
Welt wins, they hope he will have a
Congress on his side in both branches
throughout his term, so as to give
him free hand. They will be gratl-
fed. The Senate is certain for the
republicans in any case. Nothing is
in sight calculated to diminish the re-.
publican majority in the House. All
the indications, in fact, point to a
much longer lead than that thirty
majority won by the republicans in
the popular chamber two years ago.
