DIED SUDDENLY
 OF HEART DISEASE,

How frequently does head line simi- lar to the above greet us Tn the news papers. The rush, push and strenuous ness of the American people has strong tendency to lead up to valvnlar and other affections of the heart, attended hy IT, regular action, palpitation, dizziness, emothered sensations and other distress ing symptoms.
 Three of the prominent ingredients of which Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery Is made are recommended by some of the leading writers on Mdtertd Medtc1 for the cure of just such eases. Golden Seal root, for instance, is said by the UNITED STATES DIsPEEsAToRY, @ stand ard authority, Tto impart tone and in- creased power to the hearts action. Numerous other leading authorities rep resent Golden Seal as an unsurpassed tonic for the muscular system In general, and as the heart Is almost wholly com posed of muscular tissue, 1t naturally follows that 1t must De greatly strength probably the most important ingredient of < Golden Medical Discovery" so far as it's marvellous cures of valvular and other affections of the heart are con cerned. is Stone root, or Cotltllsollt6t CIil., Prof. Wm.

AT BUTLER SPRINGS.
Conner and stallings Make Glorious
 Fourth Address.

Fourth Address. Butler Springs, July 4.--Hon. B. B. Conner. q candidate for Governor, and Hon. Jesse r. stallings. a candidate for alternate Senator, spoke here today to crowd of about 500 persons, in which there were by actual count 156 men, many of whom were Cunningham sup porters and others of whom are dis franchised. A conservative estimate of the number of people at this famous re- sort to spend the Fourth Is between three and four thousand.
 The two candidates mentioned, whose engagement to speak here had been we'll advertised, made the sixteen mile drive from Greenville before break fast They were accompanied from Greenvile by J. D. Long, J. H. Har- vey and Thomas J. Judge.
 Mir. Corner began his speech at 10:3O a. m.. and spoke for two hours to the crowd which had gathered around the platform Many times during ms speech cries of '.cunningham" were heard from the crowd and a number Of questions were put to MT Conner. The inouiries he answered in sarcastic vein and frequently he would grow an ' Rry. While he made reply he would run his hand through his hair ana clenching his fist would make his re- tort discourteous In such a sereacnlng voice that ne COulu hOt DS HtfNNA SN~~ and his point was lost.
 He paid his usual respects to The Advertiser. His speech was his old plea begging the people to make nm Governor, and promising that he would give the railroad rate relief enjoyed by other states. He thought the Vir7 ginia freight rates, especially were superior to those of Alabama
 About the time he was extolling the V10rn1nlOn State, the crowd grew restless ana oe- gan to disperse. He cried out to them I'd mot get tired" of him and few of his adherents asked him to pro ceed.
 He told his hearers that The Adver- tiser had not. and had never been TOT tha people" but had always supported the railroads and the trusts.
 Many disinterested hearers Tn dls- cussins the speech around the hotel this evening said that the speech was uninteresting and anything but poh- flies had been discussed seriously. Even during the speech groups gathered here and there were discussing topics entirely foreign to the questions under consideration by MT. Conner.
 There was nothing new in his speech and he made no impression uron ms audience. He was only cheered py those who came for that purpose,
 ! F. stallings began his speech at 12:30 and spoke for one hour and thlr- ty minutes, devoting seventy minutes to supporting Conner and twenty min utes to National politics.
 On a wager that there were not tifty Cunnineham men in the crowd, MT. Claude. I.azenby approached about sew enty five men and out of that number fIfty-five declared themselves fer Cum ningham.
 Butler, Wilcox Conecuh and Lowndes Counties were all we'll represented Tn the crowd here today.
