In fact, the specification Of the right to appeal, as a party litigant. would seem to preclude all other methods or correction or interference.
 If the Department Will conform to the letter and spirit of the recent decision by the Circuit Court of Appeals. and recog- n,ze the lawful jurisdiction Of the Board there would be no possible occasion Tor any future friction whatever.
 Danger of Becoming a Mockery.
 '"rhe Board was established to judicial lv settle certain controversies between importers and the government, represent ed by tho Secretary and his counsel. N if Ia not permitted to do SO independent- lv. and without any sort of official du- ress, it will justly become a mockery and farce, will lose the respect Of nt- IGants, as well as of the public and the bar. and will soon he abolished by Con- gress, and another tribunal estaolls 1ed m its place. as there ought to De m the lil- terests of decency and public justice

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it is
 in Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient disinfect- ant and purifier in nature. but few real- ize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose,
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of 1t the better; 1t Is not drug at all but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stom- ach and intestines and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other ororous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually cleans and im- proves the complexion. 1t whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic
 It absorbs the injurious gases which col lect in the stomach and bowels; 1t d;sin- fleets the mouth and throat from the pol son of Catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another. but probabl ythe best char coal and the most for the money is In Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered willow charcoal. and other harmless ant.septics in tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant-tasting lozenges, the char coal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health better complexion, sweettr breath and purer blood, and the beauty of 1t is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use. but on the con- trary, great benefit.
 A Buffalo physician. fin speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: II adVise Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all pa tients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels. and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; ! also believe the liver Is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although in some sense patent preparation. yet believe get more and better charcoal in Stuarts Absorbent Lozenges than In any Of the ordinary ohanoaaI tahIsts.'' eowk-tf.

 I. The Lieutenant General commanding announces that. according to the custom heretofore in force, which leaves to the Comma ndIng General and the Department Commanders the fixing of the date of the Reunion, the Fourteenth Annual Reunion. will be held in the city of Nashville, Tenn, on June 14th, 18th and 18th .19O4, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday re- spectively, those d avs having been nam- ed by our host as satisfactory.
 II. The Lieutenant General commando ing realizes that there is no necessity for him to urge an attendance from those who were present in Nashville at the reunion of 1897. These comrades enjoyed to such unlimited extent the broad and liberal hospitality of the noble men and women of that delightful city, that they will gladly embrace the opportunity to partake of the pleasures certain to be spread out for them in profusion. He does, however urge ALL Confederate sol- diers and sailors of all arms and depart ments whether members of camps or not, and Sons and Daughters of the Confed- eracy. to be with us and take part in this grand meeting.
 III. The Lieutenant General command ing with much pleasure announces, at the request of its most energetic presi- dent, Mrs. w. J.

When a Simple Home Remedy Cures.

When a Simple Home Remedy Cures.
 Why do physicians always advise an operation for the cure of hemorrhoids, or piles? Are they unconsciously infiu- enced by the dicta of operating surgeons, who stouty assert and maintain that all other treatments are merely palliative and that the knife affords the only means of cure?
 There could be no greater fallacy. as the worst possible case of piles are per- manentlv cured by the use of Pyramid Pile Cure, which is in suppository form' is applied directly to the sources of thu complaint, and removes th% cause. which an operation does not.
 "I have been a sufferer from piles for ever forty years, and after trying every thing I could hear or read of, without benefit or relief. I came to the conclusion to give Pyra mid Pile Cure trial, and can truly say 1t has given me entire sat- isfdction 1t is a wonderful remedy The bleeding has entirely ceased. the pro- truding has stopped there Is no longer any itching. and l feel no swelling or the parts; in fact, feel like a new man
 'I had to wear a truss for several years, to keep the bowels up. but I havs now discarded it, after using six boxes of Pyramid Pile Cure think after forty years Of suffering the six boxes was small amount to make such an agreeable change, as was unable to do any work that required stoopng in the last eight yNars.

 The Democrats of the Second Congress sional District know 1t Is no new thing for their able and energetic Congress- man, Hon. 4. A Wiley, to do everything for the best interests of his people and his State, and to be constantly on the alert to do his uttermcst to benefit and aid them in every possible way. He has been in Congress for but three years now, ana during that time he has made a rep utation not confined to any one State, but co-extensive with the nation. He did not have to sit down and do nothing in his first term, as is the rule with un- known and untried new members, but his reputation as a statesman and a lawyer had preceded him, and he was recog- nized at once as the peer of any of the members of the great law-making body of the North American Continent He went right to work on committees, and in the House he took prominent part i'll the proceedings.
 On February Sth, 1902 after he had been in Congress only a short while, he delivered a eulogy on the Hon. Robert E Burke of Texas, which attracted wide attention. and placed him at once in the frcnt rank of the orators of that body. He spoke on the River and Harbor Ap-. piopriation bill on the 18th of March,
 
 April 18th. 1S02; on Suppression of Train Rcbberies, June 17th, 1902, and his re- marks on that subject were the ablest exposition ever made and opened the way to future most beneficial legislation in that regard; on the Efficiency, of the Militia on June 30, 1902, and his were the plainest and most comprehensive remarks on the militia subject and gave a clear insight into the scope of the new law; and eloquent eulosy on Representative DcGraffenreid of Texas; on March ?. in the same year. he spoke on the Relief of Homestead Settlers in the State of Alatama; and in the Congressional Re- cord will be found evidence of his watch fulness and keeping pace with the legis- lation and daily proceedings of the House, ever ready and willing and anxious to do anything that will promote the interests and advance the welfare of the South and of his own State.
 With his term of service just rounding of and with his splendid record for abil- ity and usefulness 1t would be the great es: act of folly to supplant him with any new man; the people of the Second District will not be guilty of any such foolish act, and 1t is predicted by his uation, that he will be returned by the united voice of the Democracy of every county in his district! The notices that fellow show what the press think of his services in Congress:

in the House of Representatives on the Sth inst. to provide for q United States reform school near Camden, Wilcox cOun- ty. Ala. This reformatory Is very much needed at some point in the South. where youthful culprits sentenced to a reform atory will not be subjected to such a change of climate as to endanger their health. and In some instances their life. The nearest one at this time Is located in New York. It is in consonance with the watchfulness of the Congressman from the Second district to have apprehended the need of such an institution in the South, and to have sought to provide for
 founding one in this State. The need of 1t and the wisdom of it's establishment, aided by the able and effective work of Colonel Wiley will assure the success of
 the undertaking.

Among His Constituents.

Montgomery Times.
 Hon. Ariosto A. Wiley Is at home for few days for the purpose of meeting and mingling with his constituents. He will remain in his district long enough to pay the tribute of regardful courtesy that Congressman owes through occasional visits to his constituents, and then will return to his post at Washington, where he has rendered a period of service that in point of ability and fidelity to duty will compare favorably with the record o1 any Representative in the halls of Congress. This is a broad claim, but it Is measured and tested by the facts of Colonel Wiley's two terms of service. Ills reputation before entering Congress had already prepared him as an equip ped factor for the duties of statesman ship. He had already achieved national honors Fin the CapInet and in the field' and their recital would form in itself bright chapter In the history of the most stupendous national event since the war between the States. Prior to and after Colonel Wileys distinguished service on the broad theater opened up by the Span ish-American war he rendered dlstiil- guIshed service to Alabama in various departments of the civil and military branches. In legislative halls he was as familiar a character as any factor in t;.e scenes enacted there and Montgon- cry owes 10 his representation of her ill- terests In the House and Senate possibly more than to any one of her many sons who have won reputation there, the prac- tlcal results of existing laws in city and county policy. In the military ser. vice Of the State he has been scarcely less distinguished and the efficiency of that service as expressed in the present condition of the Alabama National Guarl presents claim that forges a lien of re- GaIdful consideration that is due from every member on the military roster of the State. to the Congressman from the Second Alabama District. Colonel Wileys latest and possibly strongest claims on the people of the State, and particularly from those of his immediate district, are presented in his present line of ser vice as an Alabama Congressman and it Is by this that the people will meas ure him in awarding future honors. Ev- anywhere throughout his district there prevails satisfaction at the quality of hts work as an accredited representative of his people. and 1t will be a pleasant feature that the occasion of his presence ! among them will present to observe these signs in their interpretation of the re-
 suits in the coming Democratic prima-
 ries. He can afford to return to Wash
 irgten with assured feelings that he has
 not labored in vain for those whom he
 has so long honored and who in return

 Hon. A. A. Wiley has introduced a bill in the House to provide for the estab- lishment of a home for the veterans of the wars since the revolution at or near Daphne, Baldwin county. This would be an ideal location for a soldiers home, and the bill ought to pass, As the years speed by the number of veterans who will be- come indigent will increase. and while the number now does not seem large it will not be many years before the Spanish American war veterans will have to be provided for in large numbers.

For Postoffice Buildings.

IreenNlle Advocate.
 Representative Wiley has introduced a bill in Congress to erect postofice build ings at Luverne. Crenshaw county; Anda- lusla' Covington county; Evergreen, Con ecuh county; Brewton. Escambia county: Bay Minette, Baldwin county and Cam den, Wilcox county.
 Colonel Wiley is aware that 1t is not at all likely that general public build ing bill will be passed at this session of Congress, but he desires to have these measures ready for consideration of the committee on pubic buildings and grounds when such legislation is reached.
 He says that the much criticised report of the House Committee on PostoffIccs and Postroads clearly demonstrates that 1t will be much cheaper for the govern ment to build than lease postoffice build ings. that the policy of every national ad- ministration ought to encourage and fos- ter the erection of postoffice structures adequate to meet the necessities of postal business and he means to agitate that question as long as he remains in Con, Kres5

Very few Congressman there be but who find time during the canvass to go home and look after their fences. Colonel Wiley has been home but once during the session. and then on business pertaining to legis- lation affecting his district and that was before the Congressional campaign be- gan. He contents himself with simply informing the people that he is before them for re-nomination, upon his merits and his record and asks an endorsement, promising to be as faithful and loyal to their interests as in the past. Such a course Is to be commended. and We be- lieve that the people are satisfied that they have splendid representative, that
