Gadsden, December 1.-(Special)-The
trial of Yohande Degg, which has been
in progress in the city court since Mon

morning. when the jury, which mad peeh

second degree and fixed the punishment

The heavy punishment was not anticl-
mated by the woman, but she showed lit
tie visible emotion, other than the pallor
of her set features. The public was not
prepared for the long sentence given, put
i. had become evident early in the morn
ing that the masterful argument OF the
pI osecution would have weight with the
jury, since they had taken so long to de-
liberate. but it was thought that light
sentence would be imposed.
The woman was sentenced and com
mitted to Jail. The attorneys for the de-
Tense Immediately filed notice of appeal
to the supreme court The charge of
Judge j. II. Disque was a masterful pre-
sentation of the law, and was universally
commented upon throughout the city. as
was the powerful arguments of Col. q.
r. Hood for the prosecution. it being the
almost universal opinion that the con-
viction was made through his efforts.
Yohlande Degg murdered Aubrey Wo-
mack a saloonkeeper at house owned

is the first time in many years that

The regular memorial exercises of the
Elks lodge, which were scheduled to oc-

on account of the condition of the audi
forum, which has been undergoing extern
sive repairs. and is not yet ready. Mr..
Allen G. McCants, a prominent Elk of

generally been looked forward to with
much pleasure. Mr.. McCants will still con-
sent to deliver the Grafton, however, at
later day, and the exercises will be
given in full at that time.
Quite a delightful entertainment was
given this morning by Miss Lucia VAN
Hoose, one of the most popular of the
younger society set of Tuscaloosa, in
honor of her cousin, Miss Eloise Pickens,
OF Sawyerville. The form of entertain
ment was whist, after which delightful
and dainty refreshments were served.

won by Miss Nell Hopkins of Admission.

Tuscaloosa people read with interest the
announcement that has come from the
conference at Gadsden of the election of
DIR. j. II. Mccoy as president of Owenton
college at Birmingham. DR.. Mccoy was
for four yeras pastor of the Methodist
church here, and his eloquence and per-
sonal magnetism, together with his wide
learning, are remembered by all who
knew him. These attributes are partic-
a position, and without doubt while the
active ministry would miss DIR. Mccoy,
Owenton college would greatly gain at
its loss.

TO MAKE PENALTIES HEAVY

Tuscaloosa, December 1.-(Speeial)-lf
the will of the county convention, which
met here this morning, is carried into ef-
feet by the next Legislature, Tuscaloosa
will be about the driest county in the
state The report of the committee APP
pointed for that purpose made all of it's
suggestions to the convention this morn
ing. but they were practically all in re-
gard to the public roads.
This morning the question of prohbi-
ton was up for considerable discussion. 1t
will be remembered that some weeks ago
there was started d movement TO have
All election as to whether or not Tusca-
leosa should have y dispensary or prohi-
bition ON account of the framing of the
act, however, under which this election
was sought the probate judge vacated
the order for such election This morning
the convention instructed the representa-
tives elected from this county to pass a
law giving local option to this county.
Ia addition to this, in event an election
is held and prohibition carries, the law IS
t. be framed so to make it a penal
ofrense for selling, giving away or in any
way disposng of liquors in this county,
and to make the same punishable not
only by fine, but also by Imprisonment
III the penitentiary. 1t is also to make it
the same offense to bring whisky into
the county for any other use than that
of the person bringing the same and
making it penal offense to get or sell it
by order, either by letter, telephone or
telegraph, i'll any amount. From this it
appears that should an election be held
under such an act, and prohibition carry,
then Tuscaloosa will be about as tightly
bound up on the whisky proposition as
l. is possible to fix it.

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health and
Disease.
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY.

The mention of sulphur will recall to
many of us the early days when oar
mothers and grandmothers gave us our
daily dose of sulphur and molasses every
spring and fall.
It was the universal spring and fall
"blood purifier" tonic and cure-all, and.
mind you, this old-fashioned remedy was
not without merit.
The idea was good. but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable and a large
quantity had to be taken to get any eff
feet.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial eff
fects of sulphur in a pala concen-
more effective than tablespoonful of the
crude sulphur.
In recent years research and expert
ment have proven that the best sulphur
for medicinal use is that obtained from
Calcium Calcium Sulphide) and sold in
drug stores under the name of Stuart
Calcium Waters. They are small choco-
late coated pellets and contain the active
medicinal principle of sulphur in highly
concentrated, effective form.
Few people are aware of the value of
this form of sulphur in restoring and
maintaining bodily vigor and health: sui
phllr acts directly on the liver and excre-
tory organs and purifes and enriches the
blood by the prompt elimination of waste
material.
Our grandmothers knew this when they
dosed us with sulphur and molasses every
spring and fall, but the cruditv and inn
purity of ordinary flowers OF sulphur were
often worse than the disease and can
not compare with the modern concern
trated preparations of sulphur. of which
Stuart's Calcium Waters is undoubtedly
the best and most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for liver
and kidney troubles and cure constipa-
ton and purify the blood In a way that
often surprises patient and physician
alike.
DR.. r. M. wilkins. while experimenting
with sulphur remedies, soon found that
the sulphur from Calcium was superior
to any other form. He says: For liver,
kidney and blood troubles, especially
when resulting from constipation or ma
laria I have been surprised at the re-
suits obtained from Stuarts Calcium Wa

for constipation. liver and kidney troubles

At any rate people who are tired of pills,
