WANT TO BURN COTTON
COURTLAND FARMERS ADVOCATE
 A NOVEL PLAN.
Believing That Government Estimate
 Has Ruined SOuth's Prosperity, Farmers Desire to Destroy 1,OOO,O00 Bales of Staple.

Courtland Dec. S.-(Special )--With the view of discussing ways and means of reducing the loss to the South by the slump in cotton, few of the representative men of this community met yesterday and promulgated the plans and resolutions to burn 1,000,000 bales in order to bull the market. The originator of these suggestions do not know that they will accomplish the de- sired end, but they are one and all willing to sacrifice their holdings to a large extent to alleviate what they consider common misfortune.
 The address issued by the meeting is as follows:
 To Newspapers, Cotton Exchanges.
 Merchants and Cotton Growers:
 We believe that the Government es- timate of the cotton crop is too large by 75O,0O bales. but should we be mis- taken. what plan is best to dispose of the surplus? With the cooperation of the cotton growers. merchants and cot ton exchanges of the cotton belt. why cannot a plan, by all interested, be formed, to voluntarily contribute, from each cotton growing State, a sufficient number of bales of cotton, based on the production of each State, to make 1, ,0O0, ,000 bales, this million bales to be burned, or otherwise destroyed, under the supervision of the Cotton Exchange, Board of Trade or corporate authori- ties of the town or community, in which it is grown. If this plan is feasible. we the undersigned citizens of Courtland. Lawrence County, Alabama. obligate ourselves to contribute our pro rata share of cotton, be it fifty bales or more, as a starter to reduce this sur plus and obtain a fair price for the balance of the crop.
 "A. F. Rebman & Co, merchants; W. c. Swoope, farmer: F. E. Sherrod, mer chant and farmer; J. K. Swoope, far mer; Hector D. Lane, farmer: l.. L.. Rebman. merchant; S. Moore, merchant; H. D. Bynum, merchant and farmer; s. S. Pippen, farmer; J. W. Terry, far mer; E. V. Chardavoyne, farmer, and many others"
 The gentlemen who have signed the above are of the representative bus mess men of this community and mean exactly what they say. They are pre- pared to carry out their part of the agreement in full and will do as much or more than any community of equal cotton production in the State.

NEW FIRE COMPANY.
Bay Minette Fire-Fighters Have Or
 ganixatiOn.

l SamAEutAVms
 1 Bay Minette, Dec. S.-(Suecial. )-The
 citizens of Bay Minette have begun a | movements to get into active operation a home fire company. It is expected that all arrangements will be con- pleted within thirty days. The town has had but one fire in seven years. The question of local development and improvement has gone so far that there is movement on foot to estab- fish a race track and build first-class stables in order to get the care of race horses during the winter.
 It has long been the desire of a num- Der of citizens to have a military company here. The Adjutant-General, w. w. Brandon, has promised to grant the request if approved by Col duMont of Mobile, and as no one supposes that he will refuse, the organization Is prac- tically a certainty.
 The L. and N. and the Bay Minette and Fort Morgan Railroad are building a union depot here. which will be the best between Montgomery and New Or leans. This appears to be an indication of what the l.. and N. believes will be accomplished in Baldwin.
 In county offices there was but one change made. that of the Probate Judge, Charles Hall, who has been Judge for number of years. gave way to J. H. H. Smith. who was elected. The retiring Judge is now an aspirant for appointment as County Solicitor, to take the place of Sam Jenkins, who Is also an aspirant for the place.

ANNISTON SOLICITOR
CONTROVERSY FOR PossEssION OF
 THE OFFICE.
Claiming it Was Elective Place MT Hanna Secured votes and HOpes
 to Dust Mir. Tunstall, Who Was Appointed.

Acting Governor Cunningham yes terday afternoon addressed letter t' Hon. W, L.. Martin of Montgomery declining to issue a Commission to Hon F. H. Hanna, who was elected Solicitor of the City Court of Anniston in No vember at the regular general cleo tion.
 Hon. w. L., Martin. ex-Attorney Gen. eral of Alabama. soon after the Cal heun County returns reached the of flee of Secretary of State E. R. Me- David. applied as counsel to the latter for Mir. Hanna's commission. Secre- tary McDavid refused to issue the com mission because of an act of the last Legislature which makes the office in question appointive until 1910. From the Secretary of State MT. Mar tin appealed to Governor Cunningham, who. after looking up the law pertain- ing to the case, formally denied the |commission.
 The refusal of the Governor and the Secretary of State to issue the com mission to MT. Hanna was prompted by the local statute already referred to which provides that only until the first Friday after the first Monday in November, 1910 shall Solicitor for Calhoun County be elected. He shall then be elected for four years and af- rewards in the manner prescribed for the general election of solicitors.
 Under the same statute. the Cover nor will appoint a successor to the present Solicitor of the City Court of Anniston, Hon. Wiley c. Tunstall, Jr. The term of office of the new appointee will begin February 20, 1905, and will expire on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, 1910. or when his successor Is elected and has qualified.
 The letter of the Governor as fol- lows explains his action in the matter
 Montgomery, Dec. 8, 1904. Hon. w. l.. Martin, City:
 Dear Sir-A few days since you made a verbal demand upon me for a commission to issue to Hon. E. H. Hanna, certified by the proper author ities as having been elected as Solic- itor for Calhoun County, Alabama.
 By referring to page 625 of the Acts of 1903, you will find an act 'To pro- vide for a Solicitor for Calhoun Coun- ty. and to prescribe his duty and au- thority.' The first section of that act is as follows: That upon the expira- ton of the present term of the Solici- tor of the City Court of Anniston. the Governor shall appoint a Solicitor for Calhoun County whose term of office shall begin on the 25th day of Febru- ary. 1905, and who shall hold office until the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. 1910. and until his successor is elected and qualified; at the election held on that day his successor shall be elected as provided by the general law for the election of other solicitors and every four years thereafter
 From this section it appears that it will be the duty of the Governor to appoint the Solicitor for Calhoun County for the term prescribed by law.
 T, therefore, respectfully decline to

WORSE THAN
 A SOLAR PLEXUS
Dyspepsia Does Stomach More Damage
 Than Dozen Knockout Blows.

The very thought of stopping one of the variety of blows designated in pugil- istic nomenclature as the solar plexus" sends the chills up and down ones back.
 But dozen of these blows would not do as much harm nor cause as much suffering as well developed case of dys- pepsia.
 The pain of the "solar plexus" might last for an hour or a week, but the dys- peptic stomach goes right on causing it's owner misery day in and day out for years. He cannot eat, cannot drink, cannot sleep, cannot enjoy minutes rest.
 There is no reason why you should en- dure either dyspepsia or "solar plexus." The latter are not scattered around to any great extent, and Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets cure the former.
 WAS A VERY SICK MAN.
 Several months ago my stomach became badly deranged. was subject to excessive belching. heavy feeling in stomach after eating, dizziness, sick headache. nausea, in fact my whole digest- i've system seemed badly disordered. began taking Rexall Tablets a very sick man, but be- fore taking more than dozen or so began to feel immensely relieved. After taking one box l was entirely cured.-HARoLD SHALLcRoss, sis South Summer St., Nashville. Tenn
 Dyspepsia IS caused Dy an aDnorrnai state of the gastric juices. There is one element missing. The absence of this destroys the function of the gastric fluids. They lose their power to digest food.
 Thanks to the recent discovery of group of famous specialists we are now able to supply the missing element-to restore to the gastric juices their digest i've power. and to make the stomach strong and well.
 We know that Rexall Dyspepsia Tab lets will positively and permanently cure this disease, no matter how bad it is.
 We want you to try them and will re- turn your money if you are not more than satisfied with the result.

Res.emer Bank Shed.

H. w. Lantrip, formerly in business in Bessemer, has filed suit against the Bessemer Trust and Banking Company for $20,000 damages for malicious prosecution, arrest and imprision- ment" The case grew out of an &C., tion brought some time ago by the bank against Lantrip for obtaining money under false pretenses. Lam trip, who was formerly in business in Bessemer sought to borrow money of the bank mentioned and rendered them a statement of his assets and liabili- ties, so 1t is was alleged in the prose- cution. Some time after the money was loaned he failed. and 1t was claimed by the bank that he had not given a true statement of his financial condition, and action was begun against him for obtaining money un- der false pretenses. The case was tried in the Bessemer City Court and
 Lantrip was convicted but the judge set the verdict aside and the next grand
 jury failed to bring in an indictment.

The News of Birmingham

Birmingham, Dec. 8.-(Special. )-- Judge K. Austell. John Craft. and J.. P. Wilson, of Mobile. were in Birming- ham today enroute to Washington. where they will go before the Rivers and Harbors committee of Congress. seeking an appropriation of $250,000 with which to improve the harbor of Mobile. that sum being necessary. 1t is estimated to bring about a deeper har- bor.
 Mir. Wilson Is secretary of the Mo-
 bile Chamber of Commerce.. while Judge Adstell and MT. Craft are rep-
 resentatives of the Outer Bar Asso- citation. Judge B. M. Allen. of Bir- mingham. is president of the latter organization. Judge Austell and com Sanions called on Judge Allen here to- tbiy and sought his assistance in going before the committee on Saturday in Washington. Judge Allen could not go to Washington. The Mobile repre- sentatives are now on their way to the capital city. Judge Austell said to- day: we are simply asking for the paltry sum of 3250.000. With this amount we estimate that we can deep- en teh channel at Mobile to thirty five feet, carrying a width of one thousand feet. If we can secure this channel 1t makes Mobile the finest port in the South. It would mean a great deal to the navy. for in the Southern waters there is no other port where the large naval vessels can en- ter with the same degree of safety during rough weather as at the port of Mobile with the deepened chan nel."
 Judge Austell Is president of the Mobile and West Alabama Railway Company, whose objects are to build a railroad line from Mobile to Florence. Ala, running a spur from their main line into Birmingham, the survey be- ing about thirty-five miles west of this place. The Terry-Gahagan Construc- tion Company, of New York, which concern was given the contract for the construction of this railroad, will shortly sub-let contracts and the work will be started on in the near future.
