building formerly used as a branch court house. The Enterprise band, un- der the leadership of Prof. l.. Lehman preceded the. candidate to the court house where 1t rendered several selec- tions In an admirable manner
 Mr. Conner was introduced by T. J Carlisle in a few brief remarks. The candidate opened his address by thank ing the chairman for his introduction and the band for being present. MT Conner paid quite tribute to the farm CT, citing his own experience in tha, line from boyhood up. He favored edu' cation. the care of the old soldier and immigration of the proper kind, de- nouncing cheap labor.
 He made his customary arguments for lower freight rates. equitable car service rules and the prompt payment of claims.
 Referring to Dr. Cunningham. he said:
 "Dr. Cunningham in his platform. says that we should have a lower rate than Georgia; that we should have a law so fixed that it will give the Com mission all the power it can use; that we ought to have a law to settle promptly your claims. give you equit- able car service rules and make them quit watering their stock so much, and WHCIt tuO SoAiihioSioh Poto Ah e e<S and they go to appeal from that decis- ion, they must put up some $40,000 and keep putting up money so as soon as the case Is decided, this comes back to you Those laws are more extreme than I ever advocated. The hardest fighter I ever had is The Montgomery Advertiser"
 Turning to the reporters table, he said, Ask The Advertiser If they en- T. sw. -r,k oH them If they are in favor of those laws he advocates. and if they are. then ask them what is the use of waiting until next fall? Why not jump on MT. Tuns- tall and MT. Sanders right now and de- mand of them that they get together with me.
 T stand today and every other day to put them in right now. If they fa- vor Cunningham and his platform. why not get with me right now in every is- sue of their papers. and instead of sending Beckham with me. send to Sanders and Tunstall and demand of them to join hands with me righ. now. That's the power of the press.
 And again; they say of me that ask you to elect legislature in con- formity with these things that I am proposing to make myself a dictator Ask them how that is, when I advise the peopl" oI AldpdiHd to eiecl ios' islature favorable to you, that will take your great measures and carry them through. how that is making me die tator. What good will your Governor do whether 1t be Cunningham or Co., mer, if the railroads have made your Senate or your legislature? There's the difference between Dr. Cunningham and myself" Ask The Advertiser these questions for me, and tell them for me if they answer in the negative. charge them with the worst demagogueism Alabama ever saw"
 He made his usual statement that while Dr. Cunningham's platform was all right, the crowd lined up with him would prevent him from carrying it out.
 MT. Conner left on the afternoon train for Montgomery.

MIR. C0MER AT ELBA
GIVES UP SOME OF HIS TIME TO
 CANDIDATE MARTIN.
The. Latter Talk Did Not Attain to Dignity of a Speech and There
 Was Comment Upon its lm-
 prOpriety.

Elba, April 3.--(SpeciaL) Candidate Conner spoke here yesterday to large audience the court room being crowdeo to it's capacity, many people haVins to stand. He received close attention and was frequently applauded.
 Contrary to the usual order Of things MT. Conner gave way to Candidate Mar tin, for Congress. who was present.
 Mir. Martins address was almost en tirely a laudation of MT. Comor. He stated that when he made his an nouncement, 1t created a laugh all over the district, but now it was not so funny and he was going through the district like a dose of salts.
 The Advertiser. he said. has never told the truth about himself or MT Conner. He declared that anybody who believes everything he sees in The Ad- vertiser or The Elba Clipper ought to go to a lunatic asylum, and illustrated that statement with an exceedingly vulgar and dirty story.
 MT. Martins talk did not attain to the dignity of a. speech. It was sim ply song of praise for Conner ana bitter attacks upon the record or ms opponent and The Advertiser. There was much comment afterwards as to the impropriety of his talk.
 Mir Conner spoke for an hour ana tWeuLy-uVe minutes. oH dSSouhI Oi the length of time within which he agreed to speak. he omitted large part of his customary speech. He in- troduced himself to his audience. this being his first visit to Coffee county
 He made his usual arguments for the prompt payment of claims. equitable car service, and lower freight rates, using the old comparisons between the rates in Alabama and Georgia and oth- CT States. Referring to the fight two years ago, he went over the old ground of vast amounts of money spent, etc.
 He paid his usual respects to Dr.: Cunningham, saying that his platform is all right, but that the crowd he is with will prevent it being carried out.
 Referring to the attendance of The Advertisers stenographer, he asked Do you reckon he is going along with me as good angel to guard me against things that might come up unawares, or do you reckon he goes with me as an imp of darkness to seize me at an unguarded moment?"
 Some railroad lawyers, he said, are trying to be elected to the Legislature on his platform, but the people should put a bridle on them and lead them back to their own side.
 He closed with a strong plea to the people to elect their own Legislature and. keep the railroad attorneys out of their politics.
 In the afternoon MT. Conner drove to Brockton where he spoke last night.

Relea,ed From Censure.

The bar association of the City of New York has. at the request of Elihu Root, released Justice Leventritt, of the State Supreme Court, from it's censure of seven years ago. In 1898 the asso- citation refused to indorse Leventritt, declaring him unfit for office on his record. The course of his official life before that time is now simply passed over. because since he has occupied his present position he has done well. In short, his later we'll doing has wiped out the questionable record of his past. There can be. then. essential reform In a lawyer after he has been made a a judge. That's good.

Spring Troubles

If you live a confined life, get no outdoor work or exercise, ex- perience symptoms of general weakness, forgetfulness, lassitude. irritability, loss of appetite, pain in the small of the back, there is no question about it you are suffering from spring fever and inhan,na- ton of the mucous membrane.
 Alderman Peter A. Vending, of the Chicago City Councils, has written this letter on the subject:
 "Last spring, after I had com pleted my canvass for election to the City Council I felt worn out and out of sorts. I could not de- termine any particular seat of my ailment. l was able to attend to my duties, but any great effort distressed me, and I lost consider able in weight. As had enjoyed uniformly good health I was not greatly alarmed, and felt that my trouble would soon wear itself out.
 Finally consulted a physi- clan, and his diagnosis was that I was suffering from incipient in testinal catarrh. He advised me to take course of treatment at one of the celebrated medicinal springs. 1 was inclined to take his advice, but found it difficult to get away from my public and private business. While I was hesitating what to do, one of my political friends advised me to try Mucu- Tone. He told me that it had cured his wife, and he said, Al derman, it will cure you We'll, he was right. l think I took four or five bottles during the course of a month, with the result that I was entirely free from pain and had recovered my normal energy and buoyancy. got back my old weight, and when any of my friends commented on my i'm proved appearance I told them it was all due to Mucu- Tone"
 His experience is no different from that of many others.
 Rexall Mucu Tone cures Spring Fever" by working through the blood, thus reaching the affected membranes wherever they are located; drives out the poison and allays the infanlma- ton, for as it is a powerful nu- tritive tonic, it revitalizes the blood, soothes the strained nerves, builds up the body, and relieves you entirely of that tired, worn- out feeling which comes with the change of seasons.
 Any customer of ours who pur- chases fifty-cent bottle of Mucu- Tone, gives it fair trial, and doesn't find that it will do all .le claim for it, can have his money back by returning to us the empty bottle. E. G. FOWLER,

The Rexall Remedies have cut the running ex- penses of many a family in our city. Not only do they give more for the money because of their direct selling plan (only one profit between the manufacturer and your selD but you take no chances-we take them all.
 If you are troubled from any ailment what ever, tell us what it is and we wil give you the particular Rexall Remedy that will benefit you. If it doesn't do all we expect of it we will refund you your money. The United Drug Company's plan of seil- ing their 200 Rexail Remedies, one for each i'll, reduces the cost of producing; not by reduc- ing the quality, but by cutting off all jobbers' profits and unnecessary handling.

ORDER HAS QUICK
EFFECT IN EAST
WORCESTER TELEGRAM APPEARS
WITH PHONETIC SPELLING
IN COLUMNS
Plan Is Tried as an Experiment for
One Day ony-President Eliot of
Harvard Not in Sympathy With
President in the Reform.

Worcester, Mass Aug. 27.-The
news columns of the Telegram appear
ed today with spelling of the phonetic
form in accordance with the rules ap.
proved by President Roosevelt. The
plan is being tried as an experiment
for one day only.
President Eliot Disapproves.
Bar Harbor, Me-, Aug. 27-President
Eliot of Harvard does not sympathize
with Pr, sident Roosevelt in the matter
of spelling reform. In an interview
yesterday he said he did not think the
plan proposed would be adopted by the
people generally. He thought there
would be strong opposition on the part
of publishers, since the new spelling
would mean a considerable financial
loss to them, as the most important
works are nowadays published on
both sides of the Atlantic from the
same plates.
Not Accepted by English.
"The English will hardly adopt the
new SYSTEM" President Eliot said,
which would mean not only that pub
fishers would be obliged to make two
sets of plates, but that all the present
plates of standard and popular works
would be rendered incorrect and with
out value. 1t can be seen at a glance
that publishers will object strenuously
against any change in the system Of
spelling, and as our books naturally
set the style it would practically be
| impossible, or at least difficult, to
bring about any innovation in this di-
rection without the assistance OF the
publishers. 1t will be found the public
will not like the looks of thru and
tho and words similarly spelled"
Butler Favors Changes.
It was admitted by President Eliot
that some distinguished men, like
President Butler Of Columbia, favored
changes in spelling similar to those
contained in the present proposition
but on the whole President Eliot
thought the people would be a long
time in bringing themselves to full
acceptance Of the new style He said
he did not care for it himself and ii
was his opinion the plan would not be
acceptable to educators as rule.
Even if President Roosevelt should
set the example by writing his next
message in the new style of spelling
President Eliot did not think it would
have great effect in the way of bring
ing imitators. He thought the people
did not regard the Presidents mes
sage as spelling copy. but rather as 8

rent affairs and matters of proposed
i Legislation.
