THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is in
 Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char coal is the safest and most efficient dis infectant and purifier in nature, but few realize it's value when taken into the human system for the, same cleans ing purpose.
 Charcoal is remedy that the more you take of it the better; it is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present fin the stomach and intestines and car ries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and inn proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is fn Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather in the form of large. pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in much improved condition of the general health, better complex ion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit
 A Buffalo physician in speaking of the benefits of charcoal. says: T advise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all pa- fients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complex ion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; also believe the liver is great jy benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet believe II get more and better charcoal in Stu arts Charcoal Lozenges than in any Df the oxdinaer eharcoal tablets

In the passenger service the following changes have been made: The train. leaving Chicago at 6:3O for New Oi- leans has thirty minutes added to the schedule; train leaving Chicago at S:So has twenty-five minutes added; train leav- ing New Orleans at 9:15 D. m. has forty minutes added. The time of many of the fast freight trains has been heightened and since the change it is asserted that all trains have been arriving at destinations promptly on time.

May Consolidate Colleges.

Rev. A. A. Little, pastor of the Broad Street Presbyterian Church, will spend several days of this week at e meeting Of the Conference Committee which will be In session in Atlanta to deliberate upon the consolidation of the Clarksville, Tenn, and the Columbia, S.. C., colleges. The proposition that these leading educational institutions of the Presbyterian Church in the South should become a unit is one of the most important matters that the church has had before 1t in many years and there has so far been no universal consensus as to its feasibility. It is expected however, that the question win be determined by the deliberations of the committee in Atlanta.
 The Presbyterian Synodical College for this State should not, by the way, be confounded with the Clarl0sville and Columbia colleges which are for the church in the South what the Synodlcal College is to be for the church, In [, thls State. They In no wise interfere one with another, hut really are interdepen- dent and the existence of the greater in- tensifies the utility the less, and vice versa.

 The convention of the City Court of Selma for the trial of criminal cases and the organization of the Grand Jury and of two petit juries took place to-day just before noon. The charge of Judge J. w. Mabry to the Grand Jury was short but it's bearing on what is known as the Soully poison case. on alleged failure of justices of the peace to submit to the Grand Jury at the proper time trans scripts of their dockets and on the re- ported sale of liquor in the arid portions of the county made it interesting to the spectators present when court was called to order.
 Judge Mabry is the presiding officer, with J. B. Evans. clerk. Hon. w. w. QuarIes solicitor, r. Nj. Blackwell sher- if, and J. W. Townsend. deputy. The following men were empanelled as d Grand Jury:
 Peter s. Hain. James Vernon. M. s. Smith, w. D. Porter. William Meek. AL lie Houston, G. F. Hooks, J. C. Hay ward, w. G. Duncan, Cad Erwin, Frank w. Moseley, Jr., Frank l.. Triton, C. l.. Carter, Robert Smith. J. G. Johnson, w. J. Morris. Duke Brady. Sam Nicely.
 w. 6. Duncan was appointed foreman of the Grand Jury. and to him and the other jurors was administered the oath. R. L. Key was appointed bailiff.
 Tn his charge to the Grand Jury Judge Mabry dwelt first upon the carrying of concealed weapons. advising the jurors that though this offense was a misde- meanor, they had no discretion as to indictments against persons guilty of 1t.
 Justices of the peace Judge Mabry said. were required to furnish. ten days before tho converting of the Grand Jury, transcripts of their dockets for use by the Grand Jury and he asked Solicitor Quarles if this had been done. Upon re- ceiving reply that all justices in the county had not compiled with this re- quirement, Judge Mabry informed the Grand Jury that 1t was empowered to

THE SEA OF SILENCE.

All, all alike, it seems to me. Like pebbles, drop into the sea,
 Of Silence. Into this sea, Kings takes no crown, No sound is heard, as he goes down,
 In silence! So too, it is. with all mankind. Their jewels, crownS. they leave behind
 In silence! Down, down. beneath its lethean wave With hrol1n sword, sleeps hero brave,
 In silence! The rich and poor, to sea unknown, Go penniless, into this zone,
 Of Silence. To ashcn dust. We all must turn, An ash heap in this shoreless urn,
 Of Silence. Times herald cried. in aeons gone As now he cries: Al go alone.
 In silence" Fear not--be true! and He will take, You to himself and to you break,
 The silence!
