THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
 4s-- Few People Know How Useful It I. h. Preserving Health and Beauty.
Costs Nothing To Trr.

Nearly everybody knows that char coal IS the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature hut few realize it's vaule when taken in- to the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is remedy that the more you take of 1t the better; 1t is not a drug at all. but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and car ries them out of the system
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking, or after eating onions and other odorOus vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and i'm proves the complexion, 1t whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 It absOrbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels: fl disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another. but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money Is in Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges; thev are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal and other harmless antiseptfcs in tablet form or rather in the form of large pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complex ion, sweeter breath and purer blood and the beauty of 1t Is. that no possible harm can result from their continued use. but, on the contrary, great bene- fit
 A Buffalo physician. in speaking of the benefits of charcoal says: T ad- wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complex ion and purify the breath mouth and throat; I also believe the liver Is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-he cents a box at drug stores. and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet believe I get more and better char coal in Stuart's Charcoal LOzenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tab let's"

 in Hia Home Town.
 Gadsden, Nov. 7.--( Especial )-Com- plete returns of the, eight counties in the Seventh District show that Col. John l.. Burnett has carried every coun- ty by greatly increased matorities ex- cept Winston, which went Republican
 Colonel Burnett's real majority being 3,Oe7. He defeated Kennemore, his op- ponent. in his home town, Guntersvilie by nineteen votes. His bajorities in the different counties are as follows: Marshall, 253: Franklin. 1s7; Cullman, $50; DeKaIb, SIT; Cherokee 705; Etowah S67; St, Clair, 150. Winston County gave q Republican majority of 200.
 Returns from all but two precincts in Etowah County show that the Dem- ocrats have elected their complete county ticket by overwhelming major ities, ranging from 500 to s75. This was about the only county in the State in which the Republicans had com plete ticket in the field, and they were thoroughly organized and made an ag- gressive fight.
 They feel their defeat keenly and 1t will be several years before they get up courage to fight another battle. Et- owah County gives D. D. Hammer, Democratic candidate for Senator from the Sixth District 800 majority. and authentic reports received from St. Clair County tonight state that his ma- jority there will be 125. Great satis- faction is felt here over his election.

Seems as If Democratic Ticket Carried

 Columbiana, Nov. 7.-(Special.) )-One of the hottest battles of ballots was fought in Shelby County yesterday that has been fought in the County since the war.
 All of the beats have been heard from except Beat--5, which polls the smallest vote of any beat in the Coun- ty.
 In 1904 there were only seventeen votes boiled. the Democrats receiving nine and the Populists efght
 Outside of the vote in this small beat, Pearson, Democratic candidate for the Legislature, is erected beyond all doubt. Doster. for rne Senate, Is also thought to be elected. FuPton for Sheriff, has a mapority of four. If the same results occur in the beat as in 1904 Fulton will be ahead five votes. The returns from this beat are eX- pected on northbound train on South ern Railroad at 2;S2 ?. m.
 The principle fight was made on Sheriff and many and unexpected changes were made.
 Tn Beat 1, Columbiana, Norris re- ceived as majority of thirteen. This is Norris's home beat. This beat is a Populist beat In Beat ', Fulton's home beat, Fulton received majority of hfty-two. This beat has always gone Populist Fulton is very popu- lar in his home beat At this writing the excitement is at fever heat

DOsTER A WINNER.

 the Republican Candidate.

PrattviIle Editor Defeats WadswOrth, the Republican Candidate. Prattville, Nov Special. )-The election here yesterday passed off as quietly as one could nave done Nothing but the best of humor pre- vailed all day at the polls, and while it was in some respects as spirited election as has been herd in this Coun- ty fin many years.
 There had been a sensation sprung on the Democrats late Saturday even ing to the effect that there were plans by which when executed there was to have been held no election at three or four of the hest Democratic beats in the County It was whispered around that the man who unuertook to deliv- or the ballot boxes for those precincts had agreed, or had offered to destroy the boxes and supplies so that no elec- ton could be held in those precincts. However, 1t appears Tt was false alarm, as some of the boxes in ques- tion have already reported with satis- factory Democratic majorities.
 Fl. $. Doster, candidate for State Senate from the Fifteenth Senatorial District, composed of Autauga, Chiffon and shelby counties, has said he would give S1 900 for conviction of elec- tion frauds in this County. and it is not, known yet whether there was any real intention of selling the ballot boxes and supplies or not.
 There was no contest on her except in the onice of Senator from the F'if- teenth District for which H. s. Dos ter and W. W. Wadsworth were ops posing candidates. Indications from the returns from tn;s and Chiffon counties give Doster an undoubted majority of some 500. The vote in the District is a very heavy one, and the returns are slow in coming in. There is very little doubt EE this time but that Doster wins by handsome ma- jority.
