Plain Words on
 CataTrh Cures
MIR. E. G. FowLER's VIEWS.

Just at this time of the year the newspapers are filled with advertise ments of Catarrh cures of one kind or another to such an extent that an Ad- the subject with E. G. Fowler, our local druggist Tn all probability" said Mir. Fowler "eYery one of them can Do found on sale in my store. But I can of course they may be meritorious- as to that l cannot say-I buy them from the manufacturers and I certainly would not sell them If I thought they were in any way injurious.
 But" continued MT. Fowler "there is one Catarrh cure I know all about, and that Catarrh cure I back up with my reputation as pharmacist. and with my bona fide guarantee. That remedy Is Rexall Mucu-Tone. I know how Rexall Mucu-Tone is made, what medicines are used in compounding 1t and the scrupulous care with which 1t is manufactured. and I know that 1t IS an honest meritorieus remedy. that has cured thousands of chronic sufferers
 'The very first dose of Mucu-Tone W SFaoe aSS SSo hope R vii win eonvoa that at last you have found a medicine that goes right to the spot and does the work for which 1t is intended: and with each succeeding dose you will feel better and better. stronger and stronger. You will regain your app"- tite. will find yourself eating hearaily, and will feel that your food is doing you good. You will note an increase of blood Your hands and feet will be warm instead of cold and clammy. Your nerves will become steady. You will sleep soundIv and you will get up in the morning wonderfully re- freshed. and despondency will be a thing of the past; and. besides" cOntin- ued Mr. Fowler "Rexall Mueu-TOne will accomplish all this in an astonish- ingly short time. It makes no differ ence whether you are just beginning to feel badly or whether you have suf- fered for years--I say Mueu-Tone will cure you--just try me out on this statement If it does not do all that refund your money. You can get a large trial bottle for fifty cents F. G. Fowler DruRgist

LOCAL TAXATION IN LEE.
Superintendent Hill and Others to Be-
 gin . Campaign.

Super1nrendent HtlI and Others to Be-
 gin a Campaign.
 State Superintendent of Education I |. W, Hill went to Opelika yesterday to lend his aid to the local tax movement for educational purposes.
 Superintendent Hill will be joined there by President J. w. Abercrom. bic of the State University and today both of whom will participate in the exercises at Opelika.
 The campaign for the local tax of one-tenth of 1 per cent has just start ed in earnest in Lee County The proposition was not ripe enough to submit to the people at the regular election last November The cham pions of local taxation for educational purposes have adopted the policy of chystalizing a sentiment of the people nf the County in favor of the tax ahead of vote on the proposition As a result only one County has rejected the tax so far. this being Pike County. Yet the shortage of a three-f fourths' vote received in Pike last November was so slight that 1t almost gave rise to a contest.
 The supporters of the local tax real tze that the rejection of tho proposi- ton by the County has a salutary eff feet against 1t in the future By good Judgment. therefore. the one-tenth per cent tax has been planted in eighteen counties already and the gospel is spreading wonderfully
 The Alabama Educational Commit tee, consisting of strong and influential citizens of the State. form a great aux Hilary to the local tax movement.
 Lee County in this respect is said to present cheerful prospects and a peti- tion will likely be made very soon to the Board of County Commissioners to order an election.

partment."
 MT. Hale pointedly criticised the law creating general staff. The general staff.' he said, makes the Secretary of War figure head; all his authority is usurped."
 Asked by a Senator what functions were left to the Secretary, MT. Hale re- piled: He has been on a trip to Pan- anna and Is going to the Philippines. He is an active man not given to lam guorous ease. but he is compelled to find exercise for his activities in other than the old line. The result Is to drive professional men in the army and navy to assume powers such as will result In eliminating civilians from all au- thority in those departmentsg' He declared that so long as he re- mained in the Senate he would not con- sent to extending the system to the navy.
 MT. Proctor and MT. Cockrell united in defending the stan system
 MT. Proctor suggested the following addition to the amendment:
 The officers designated by the title of assistant chief of the record and pen- sion office and by the title of assistant adjutant-generai shall hereafter be designated by the titles of military sec- retary."
 The amendment was accepted, and the amendment as amended was agreed to.
 The Senate then reverted to consid- eration of the House resolution repeal ing the pay of retired officers assigned to active service, and MT. Lodge read the following message from the Gov ernor of Ohio:
 Columbus, O., Jan. 2e. Hon. H. c. Lodge:
 Ohio deeply interested in the army bill. If it Is desired to humiliate Gen. era1 Miles, in which we have no sym pathy here, it should not include splendid army officers on the retired lists who are rendering special ser |. vice to National Guard of several States. We are specially interested Tn Ohio. Myron T. Herrick." Mir. Cockrell expressed confidence that there had been no idea to humil- , fate General Miles.
 The order was modified at Mir. Lodges suggestion and was passed as follows
 Retired officers of the army above the grade of major, shall, when here after assigned to active duty in con- nection with the organized military in the several States and Territories upon the request f the Governor thereof, re- ceive' their full retired pay and also communication of quarters unless Gov ernment quarters are available, and shall receive no further pay or allow ances; provided, further, that lieu tenant colonel so assigned shall re- ceive the full pay and allowances of a major on the active list"
 The conference on the legislative. executive and judicial appropriation bill was agreed to as also was the con- ference report on the bill transferring the control of forest reservations from the Interior to the Agricultural De- pertinent.

PORTO RICAN's CONTENTION. sues fer Fine He Alleges Was Illegally
 Assessed.

Washington, Jan. 26.--The United States Circuit Court of Claims today heard argument in the case of Narcisco Basso vs. the United States for the re- covery of $l,500,, the amount of a fine imposed on him in 1899 for bringing goods into Porto Rico from the United States without entering or paying duty on the same.
 Counsel for claimant contended that native inhabitant of the Island of Porto Rico is n citizen of the United States and is therefore entitled to the rights of a citizen to sue in this court for fine alleged to have been illegally collected. 1t was also contended that if not citizens. the native inhabitants of Porto Rico are yet entitled to sue in the court because the Jurisdiction of the court Is not limited to suits brought by citizens and aliens subjects ot friendly powers who accord to our citi- zens the right to sue their govern ments.
 This question has never before been raised before the courts. The conten- tion of the government is that the claimant is not now and never was a citizen or an inhabitant of the United States nor is he citizen or subject of any foreign government within the meaning of Section 1903 of the revised statutes and therefore the present court is without Jurisdiction in the case.

electrical machinery and complete office
fixtures to Drs. Russell and Hindman, re-
Gently. DR.. Staples will locate in Biz
mingham, Ala, where he already has
highly profitable position offered him.
This change, so we are informed, was
not made on account of DIR. Staples
failing to do business for he had a fine
practice and was constantly busy man,
but his taste for strictly city practice
and the extra inducement held out to
him in wide-awake Birmingham, caused
the change. 1t is regretted by his
many friends that he has decided to
leave but their good wishes for his sue
cess accompany him. Mrs. Staples is a
Southern lady and her stay here has
been exceedingly pleasant ana resulted
in making many true friends who regret
to part from her.

Fire at SparkSViIIe.

Last Thursday evening the saw and
grist mill of Wooten Bros, at Sparks
vile, was burned to the ground. The
fire is supposed to have originated from
the Goals and ashes thrown from the
boiler that afternoon when the furnace
was cleaned. The loss is VERY serious
one not only to the owners but to the
people of that section generally, who
patronized both the saw and grist mill.
The loss to the Messrs. Wooten, we
understand, will reach $500. Mr.. E. F.
Rowe, our informant, says that the
gentlemen will begin preparations at
once to erect another building and as
soon as possible new machinery will be
installed.

like you ought, as business men, dc
more advertising and help build and

should remember that 1900 papers leave

many thousands. If the trade of this

Ginseng,

Mr.. w. H. Jones, of Cane Valley, a
pioneer ginseng grower in this county,
informed us, while in Columbia last
week, that he had several pounds of
dry roots on hand which he had refus-
ed 1925 per pound, but believing that a
better price would be given at an early
day, is holding. Mr.. Jones has 1000
large plants he is keeping to produce
seed while his patch now has about
1000 nice healthy plants growing for
the market. He will plant $1,000 seed
In short time which will terminate
next spring. Mr., Jones is believer
in growing the plant in the woods in
order to give it it's true flavor. In this
we believe he is correct to the letter.

The widow Howard, of the Keltner

last Monday morning, met with the
misfortune of losing her pocket book
while crossing Pettisfork. She stated
that her daughter was with her in the
vehicle and the book containing the
money was in small bag which had
draw strings, and soon after crossing
the creek they missed the bag. Return
ing at once they found the bag in the
creek but the five dollar bill had floated
out. On their arrival in Columbia the
old lady told her story and solicited aid
to cover her loss. Just how much she
received we do not know but the bust
ness people of the town had an oppor-
tunity to contribute.
