Give Your Stomach
 \ Nice Vacation.
Don't Do It by Starving It Either
 Let a Substitute Do the Work.

The old adage. All work and no plav makes Jack dull boy. applies just as well to the stomach. one of the most irn- portant organs of the human system. as ft does to the man himself
 If your stomach is worn out and rebels against being further taxed beyond it's limit. the only sensible thing you can do is to give 1t a rest. Employ d substitute for a short time and see if it will not more than repay you in results
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a willing and most scientific substitute. They them selves digest every bit of food in the stomach in just tho same way that tha stomach itself would. were it we'll They contain all the essential clements that the gastric juice and other digestive fluids of the stomach contain and actually act just the same and do just the same work as the natural fluids would do, were the stomach well and sound. They, therefore, relieve the stomach, just as one work man relieves another. and permit it to rest and recuperate and regain its normal health and strength.
 This vacation idea was suggested by the letter of prominent lawyer in Chi, cago. Read what he says: ''I was en. gagged in the most momentous undertaking of my life in bringing about a coalition oi certain great interests that mean much tC me as well as my clients It was not thu work of days. but of months. I was work ing night and day almost, when at a verl critical time my stomach went clear bacl on me The undue mental strain brough 1t about and hurried up what would hay' happened later on.
 ''What I ate I had to literally force down and that was a source of misery a. I had sour stomach much of the time My head ached. was sluggish and began to lose my ambition to carry out my un dertaking. It looked pretty gloomy fol me and confided my plight to one of ml clients. He had been cured by Stuart'i Dyspepsia Taslets and at once went dowI to a drug store and brought a box up tt the office.
 T had not taken a quarter of that bo, before found that they would do all tn work my stomach ever did; and as a res or vacation was out of the question To me. I determined to give my stomach vacation. I kept right on taking the tab lets and braced up and went ahead witt my work with renewed vgor ate jus AZ much as I ever did and carried ou that undertaking to a successful issue. feel that have Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets to thank for saving mo the handsom est fee I ever received as well as m reputation and last but not least m @tomaeh.'
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sal by all druggists at 50 cents a box.

COTTON UP TO IS l-2
STATE IS HOLDING 200 BALES
 FOR ADVANCE.
Agricultural Commissioner Poole and Others Look for Staple to Sell at Twenty Cents
 Pound,

Fifteen and a half cents a pound for cotton,
 The market took another bound up- ward yesterday, and it is believed the end is not yet. A fifteen cent market six or seven years ago would have ap- peared as a rosy but unattainabie dream. No farmer had hopes of any such con summation.
 Now q fifteen-cent market is common place. It is a thing of the past. Even the present holds better things than 15 cents a pound for cotton. And as for the future-the future is bright. There arc farmers, unimaginative men, too, who almost see 20-cent cotton. They are firmly convinced that before the first bale of the new crop is marketed the cotton win have continued It's onward march until the 20-cent mark has been reached.
 What may not be expected of a mar ket that bounds forward at half cent a day? That is the way cotton behaved yesterday. The Liverpool. New York and New Orleans markets all showed re- markable advances.
 The local market showed correspond ing vigor. Middilng cotton that brought 15 cents Wednesday was worth 151h cents yesterday.
 Commissioner of Agriculture R. R. Poole i one of the believers in 0-cent cotton. He thinks 1t is very probable He thinks that the crop will fall below the government estimate of 100000 bales, and in that event the market would hard ly stop under 20 cents. The State of Alabama is holding 200 bales of cotton which was made on the State farm by convict labor. The Cover nor and President J. M. Carmichael of the State Board of Convict Inspectors. decided that there was no need to hurry the sale of the States cotton. They are not holding it for any special price. but are contentedly awaiting further devel- opments.
 Meanwhile prosperity, commercial and agricultural activity. prevail throughout the State.
 You have no idea," said we'll known travelling man. "of the prosperity and the good feeling in Alabama. And you have no idea how lively even an old mule can step when he is laying off a furrow for 15 cent cotton"

have seized and are making the best of the idea that standing pat is standing still with the feet of national progress fet- tered by war tariffs while most of the surplus of the peoples earnings is going into the pockets of the grafters. Certes, Democrats are doing no calamity howl ing this year. As member expressed 1t: If anybody came into my district now, with cotton at 15 cents, and advo- cated free silver at -16 to 1. he would be chased out of the country
 Whether the condition be stable or en- during, the sunlight of hope is too high in the heavens to make long shadows, and this is one of the causes why Southern Democrats are less than ever inclined to heed the mechanically transcendentalism and perennial pessimism of William J. Bryan. R. II. Watkins.

WE SECOND THE MOTION

The Darien CGa.) Gazette doesn't want any 2x4 politicians sent to the St. Louis Convention from Georgia, and The Co., lumbus Enquirer-Sun seconds the motion this way:
 Not only are Democrats of brains need ed. but of broad-minded conservatism as rience who will watch khe Partys inter est In both the selection of candidates and in the formulating of the platform. Upon the work ot that convention the re- suit or the election in November l4.gety depends With a united Party and sound conservative candidates upon a kenuinp;v Demoeratic platform, the Democrats have 4 A. sood chance of success in November, put otherwise 1t is hardly worth while to make a campaign.
 For Alabama. we make the same mo- tion. The Advertiser is booming no one Tor delegate to that Convention. We have no slate and no ticket of delegates to ex- plolt, but this is a time when the Party should send men of brains. conservatisr, ana sound Democracy to meet and con- suit with leaders from other States. We want no spectacular word-monsers nor hair-brained notoriety-seekers to nisren- resent the Democracy of Alabama. We don't want any policy players or moon- struck experimenters.
 That St. Louis Convention is going to be one of the most important to the Democ- raey and to the country that has been held in many years. Upon its action de- bends the fate of the Party. not only for the immediate future, but for d long time to come. We may put out ticket which will solidify the Party and win the election. or We may put out one which will sound the doom of Democracy for years. The Party is almost in an atomic condition at present. A good man on a good platform will be the magnet to draw all the atoms together To get such q man and such platform will require both conservatism and sound Judgment. Let Us send our best men, free from in- structions, and let them go there deter mined to act and speak for the good of Democracy and of the whole country.

that they should have the support of most of the southern States.
 For many years the South held the balance of power in national politics. A rangement. It is in d position. however, from which 1t can control for good or for i'll the Democratic party. There never has been a solid North when the Demo- cratic party was united and deserved to succeed.
 A refusal of Southern Democrats kindly but firmly to affiliate longer with an un. democratic faction at the North would leave Casabianca practically alone amid the battle wreck. Pale and beautiful he might be and spectacular, of course, Tor he is always spectacular, but with the South once more fairly aligned in favor of Democracy and Democrats most of the supported the Bryan folly would disap- pear from sight.
 Mir. Bryan Is a young man who has the consistency and the doggedness of error as well developed as Parson Jasper had. He has reached stage of his mania whether he is right or wrong. He Is so much inflated that he cannot bring him self to any new light nor permit any body else to bring any new light to him. Besides, he has profited immensely by error, and the faker who makes con- fesSion is lost.
 The Southern Democratic newspapers which express impatience and weariness over the prospect of further leadership of this kind are opening the way for re- stored and reunited party. Every North ern Democrat and most Northern Repub- licans who recognize the value in popular government of a strong and intelligent minority will hope that their advice will be needed by the people whom they ad- dress.

Leader. or. TricksterP

Portsmouth, (Va.) Star.
 One thing the Seha torial contest in the Maryland Legislature has develop d clearly is the qualities of Senator Cor man. The muddle he has allowed to gather demonstrates his shrewdness at the expense of his statesmanhip.
 It was certainly the duty of stae3- man to make a choice of the best caa- dldate for the Senatorship in the intel ests of the people of Maryland, IS the first consideration, and for the general welfare of the country and the redemp- ton of the Senate as the second con sideration.
 The Senate needs able and honest mem bers who are not identified with the cor pora ations who are not the agents of the railways and the trusts. Thus. the Seh- ete demands redemption. That was ono object which a statesman should have had in view. Another, and the primary object of Senator German, should have been the patriotic and urgent necessity of having the State of Maryland when has been misrepreSentcd. appear in that body as one of the recovered Democratic States-recovered, too, for some national purpose.
 Instead of those simple and great ie- quisites Senator German appears to have been so earnestly seeking petty personal advantages among obscure politicians, which are not clear to persons oulsida he has lost national reputation for tates- manship and gained nothing worth ha L. ing in local politics.
 Thus he has put shrewdness in the bti ance against statesmanship and allow u them to hold one another a such d dead level that the country is in doubt whetl- CT he is a leader or a trickster.

No Terror in Sound Mercy.

New 1OrK World.
 Mir Bryan's challenge" to the sound money Democrats is given in these words:
 Twill those who object to the reafhrma- tion of the Kansas City platform because to do so means that the party stands for bimetallisms be willing for the party to make itself clearly understood upon the money question:
 There is no longer any scare in sound money doctrines. Every condition which furnished an excuse for the free silver cry in 1895 has been radically changed Every argument used to support the l6 to delusion has been shattered by the logic of events. The country has more money. wages and higher prices than in 1896 or 1900-all conditions which Mir. Bryan as- Severated in a thousand speeches could never obtain under the gold standard, Not alone the United States but practically every civilized and commercial nation. has put its money system on gold basis.
 The Democratic party, speaking through the St. Louis convention, ought to be not only willing but determined to make it. self clearly understood upon the money question" If it did no more than accept accomplished facts 1t would be a great assert the sound money doctrine, that was Democratic fifty years before the Repub- lican party was born and remaihed so until the midsummer madness at Chi caEo in 1SaH.
 If 1t is desired to "reaffirm'' any past declaration. the convention can adopt or adapt to present conditions the money plank of tho Chicago Convention of 1892. The Democl ats swept the country with this platform which declared In favor of 'the use of hoth gold and silver but in sisted that
 "The dollar unit of coinage of both met als must be of equal intrinsic or ex- changeable value, or be adjusted through International agreement. or by such safe guards ot> legislation as shall insure the maintenance of the parity of the two metals, and the equal power of every dol lar at all times in the markets and in payment of debt; and We demand that all paper currency shall be kept at par with and redeemable in such coin. We insist upon this policy as especially necessary for the protection of the farmers and la boring classes, the first and most defense less victims of unstable money and huctuating currency"
 The country has now. by virtue of nine separate, successive verdicts of the pee pie. made effective in the sound money law passed in 1900 precisely such cur rency as the Democrats tfavored in ths earlier and better Chicago platform. The St. Louis Convention could not make the party's present position more clearly un- derstood. ncr do more to make success possible in the election. than by accepting this sound money settlement as final.

The Peabody Teachers College.

New York World.
 In his address before the trustees of Henderson M. Somerville expressed very urgent objections to the proposed change of the boards policy indicated in the resolution ito aid normal schools and stimulate the development of rural schools" These objections he reinforced with forceful plea for the establish ment of great central college for train ing teachers to bear George Peabody s name and to be developed preferably out of the. Peabody Teachers College. which for twenty-eight years past has been located at Nashville. The very efficient work of this college is shown by its teachers, large as 1t is. yet falls short of the present demand In the South for trained elementary instructors. In Ala bama alone 3,Q00 are wanted. in Arkansas 1500, in North Carolina 1,S00
 In the thirty-six years since the Pea body Fund flor giving elementary edu- cation to children of the common people" in the destitute parts of the South be7 came available wonderful educational advance has been made there. In the words of the late pr. Curry, No people ever accomplished so much for education in so brief a period under such crushing endorsements. In producing this marvellous educational revolution the Pea
 body Fund has been most potent agency"
 This great work is now hampered by the lack of trained and competent teachers
 for whom, as Judge Somerville says,
 there is crying need More adequate training facilities of the kind supplied by
 the Peabody Teachers College are want ed, and the enlargement of that institu- ton is advocated as better way to sup ply them than to divert the fund from it's original and approved uses to others
 which in Judge Somerville's opinion will
 prove hostile to the perpetuation of the Peabody College. an institution endeared to the entire South by its useful existence and fruitful works"
 The fears aroused by the proposed change have been voiced in hundreds of petitions of protest.
