 The Improved Order of Red Men numbering over 100000 members has tribes in every State of the Union and the Red Men and the people of Mont gomery consider 1t no small honor that a Montgomerian. an Alabamian and Southerner should be chosen to the su- preme office of the order.
 The welcome of MT. Watts was ex- pressed In long talks" by prominent chiefs of the reservation. and vast outpouring of both Red Men and cit izens banquet was served the pig chief at Electric Park. It was one of the most repletely carried out affair of its kind ever held in Montgomery.
 There are five tribes of Red Men in Montgomery. Tallapoosa. Owassa Chickasaw, Tippecanoe. and Conecuh The order numbers 500 in Montgom- cry. At seven o'clock last night 300 or more chiefs of these tribes were as- sembled at the Union Depot ready to greet the greatest of all the Improved Red Men to his native heath after the Great Council at St. Joseph. Mo, at which he had been chosen Great 1n- cohonee.
 At 7:35 o'clock, the train bearing MT. Watts arrived at the depot He was met at the station by a committee or

 Between a double line of Red Men with heads uncovered. the Great h. cohonee passed through the station.
 Headed by a brass band. the party immediately boarded a number of Electric Park cars. which awaited their disposal and immediately repaired to the new pleasure resort
 There probably 200 more Red Men awaited them and in addition there was a great throng of citizens. who had come to pay tribute to their fell low tdwnsman.
 Hon. R. Tyler Goodwin as master of ceremonies, from the band stand in the centre of the Park, called the assemblage to order and presented Capt E. H Screws to deliver the ad- dress of welcome to the Great Inco- honee.
 Capt. Screws is always an eloquent speaker and inspired by the occasion his eloquence Was always cause of repeated applause. He said that the occasion was not an ordinary one. For the first time in the history of Alabama man from the State has been chosen as the Chief of one of the greatest fraternal orders ln the world, and he was on his home heath after receiving this great honor.
 The speaker referred briefly to the service of MT. Watts as Rcd Man. He spoke of the time when Ihe order was far from .lourishing, how the present Great Incohonee had stead fastly and zealously followed tho hunt. never for q second wnvering in hts loyalty and always remaining true to the motto.

II have no more nervous headaches and rest very well at night"

When . woman suffers from female weakness and irregularity or other forms of woman1y disease, the effect is cer- tain to be marked in her nervous sys- tenn, the general effect being, as in Mrs. Woodin's case, ~nervous headaches, rest lessness at night and rundown condi- ton. It is simply common sense then which says if you cure the female weak ness, irregularity, etc., you will cure the nervousness, sleeplessness and other con- sequences of womanly disease.
 Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures the womanly diseases which undermine the general health. It establishes regu- larity, dries enfeebling drains, heals in- Hammation and uleeration, and cures female weakness. It cures headache, nervousness, sleeplessness, etc., by cur ing the womanly diseases which cause these ailments.
 Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. All correspond ence strictly private. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.

After spending all the means had l went to Memphis. In less than three weeks l was in a hospital, and after nine weeks of suffering I was discharged as cured. In less than a month every bone in my body seemed to be affected and felt as if they would break at the least exertion. Again I was compelled to resign, and l returned to the hospital for seven weeks stay. When I came out was advised to try farming. When first went on the farm prevailed on the only firm who handled drugs to get me one dozen bottles ot $. 5. s. At that time both of my hands were broken out with blisters and was covered with boils and sores.

MACHINE CROWD
COULDN'T WIN OUT
Twenty Three Committeeman
Represented in Meeting.
Three Proxies We're Thrown Out
Leaving the Machine Crowd
in the Minority.
70 ACTION WAS TAKEN

The long-talked-of meeting of the
Democratic county committee was
held at the county court house this
afternoon. 1t was a meeting called
over the head of the chairman, Mr..
O. W. Morrison, who is opposed to an
early county primary and did not call
the meeting desired by the machine
men, until July 80.
The result of the meeting was that
the machine men were unable to carry
their point, and the meeting ad-
journed without doing anything.
The meeting was called to order by
chatham u. W. Morrison. who ex-
planned that the reason he did not
make . call earlier than July so, was
because he had been notified that
chsnges,in rules had been made and
were in the hands Of the printer to
be distributed as soon as finished, and
he wanted to get . copy before the
meeting was held. He further stated
that he did not know whether he was
wanted to preside or not, but on vote
he was asked to preside, and did.
The first business was the roll call.
which showed 23 Committeeman rep
resented including five proxies, viz;
Committeeman Harry Savage, 2. t.
Murphy, Jake Seamon, J. G. Pieper
and J. d. Bergman.
The proxies Of Messrs. Bergman
and Pieper specified how the bearer
should vote, but the other three did
not, and as the law reads that proxies
must specify how to vote, Chairman
Morrison appointed q committee to
examine them and report. The CON-
mittee reported that the Savage. Muir
ply and Seamon proxies be declared
illegal and not recognized.
The report was carried by vote
of to Z, and Chairman Morrison
then announced that the mseting W as
ready for business.
1t seems that the thro wing out Of
the proxies was an unexpected blow
for the 'eslly primary" element. 1t
left twenty votes in the meeting, and
while twenty was a majority, all of
the twenty were not for an early pri-
mary, some being supporters Of Chair
man Morrison. This the machine men
saw. and quickly perceived that their
game was blocked.
No one made any motion, and final.
ly Secretary Will Lydon arose and
moved that the meeting adjourn unit
