The office is q very important one, tr the soldier force of the state and pays $500, with $75 per month allowance for clerk hire. The great prosperity of the state is shown by the departmental reports of the state. now being made to the gov ernor, and Is source of pride to every Alabanian. From the present outlook the increase in tax valuation will run some thing like thirty million, and every de- partment shows increases in net earnings. The earnings from the convicts will run to s325.000 net, ard the insurance depart ment something like slo50oO. Though there has been considerable increase in the number Of children of school age in the city, the per cap!tn appropriation has been increased from Sl.50 to S1. .56, and the private contributions along educational lines have greatly exceeded those of any other year As result the schools are in far better condition than evev konwn. and movements have been set on foot that will bring them up much more rapidly in the future than they have ir the past.
 The Montgomery comment on the Mo bile riot situation has been on both sides of the house, and as rule Governor Jells has been commended for his prompt action to prevent riot In the Gulf City. The most interesting thing, however, IS the alacrity with which the Alabama soldiers, called into service responded. Col. c. R. Bricken of the Second regi- ment is so highly pleased with the re- cord made by the Blues and Greys, the two Montgomery companies, that he has issued a special order commenting them for their patriotism and prompt response to the call to arms Colonel Bricken was in Brewton the night of the trouble. from where he wired the governor that he was ready to respond promptly and with any company in hi re".,nent, at moments notice. This efficiency on the part of the military. Is rre3r, by the best citizens of the state. great protection against riot or mob reutles of any form or fash ion. The officers and men have never been so well equipped as at ths present time to perform whatever duties that may be demanded of them. and the governor has frequently of late taken occasion to speak in the highest terms of the patriot ism of the members of the guards
 The great and far-reaching damage to the crops in the state by the recent storms will no doubt have a bad effect on the business of the agricultural ter ritory this fall. In many sections the crops are almost a total loss and the Farmers Will nave great dl1Hculty 1n providing for their obligations and making arrangements for next year. In some of the remoter sections plans for the relief of the poorer people may have to be work ed out, in which event those who are not so bad off will arrange to contribute to their less fortunate neighbors In many cases the wholesale man are providing for aid and will do everything possible to help those of their customers who have been embarrassed by the destruction of the crop.

ATHENS UP IN ARMS.
Will Never Consent to Divide Profits
 From Dispensary.

Athens, October 6.-(Special. )-There is 10 be an effort made to have the legis- lature which meets in January pass a bill dividing the profits of the dispensary in this placo with the county. The demo- cratic executive committee has called an election for the purpose of taking the sentiment of the people on the question, but the. city charter gives the town the right to either abolish the sale of whisky, have open saloons or run dispensary. and the city charter can not be amend ed by the legislature without the consent of a majority of the people of the town, and this will never be granted In that particular.
 The county can establish a dispensary outside If they wish. but the people of Athens will abolish the present dspen- sary If necessary and establish one of their own and operate 1t if the legisla- ture should pass a law dividing the profits. The city has heavy debts con- tracted on the idea of the profits of the ispensary meeting the obligations ns they fell due, and the city will not con sent to a division of her revenues with the county.

A Remarkable Plea
 For the Stomach
If Your Stomach Is Lacking In Digest I've Power, Why Not Let the Stom- ach Do Its Work-EspecialIy When It Costs Nothing
 To Try2

Not with drugs, but with reinforce ment of digestive agents, such as are naturally at work in the stomach? Scien. tifc analysis shows that digestion re- quires pepsn. nitrogenous ferments, anl the secretion of hydrochloric acid. When your food fails to digest, 1t is proof posi- tive that some of these agents are lacking in your digestive apparatus.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain noth- ing but these natural clements necessary to digestion and when placed at work in the weak stomach and small intestines, supply what these organs need. They stimulate the gastric glands and gradually bring the digestive organs back to their normal condition.
 Stuarts Digestive Tablets have been subjected to critical chemical tests at home and abroad and are found to con- tain nothing but natural digestives.

Jackson. October 6.-(Special)-The ad- vance agent of 'The Clansman" reached Jackson yesterday and interviewed Mayor Wharton and the manager of the opera house as to the playing of Thomas Dix on's great piece in this city. Both these gentlemen informed the agent that there was no law to prevent the presentation of the play, and that there was no objection to same so far as known.

WEEKLY AVERAGES
 OF CLEARING HOUSE

New York, October 6.-The statement of clearing house banks for the week shows that the banks hold s9 423125 more than the legal reserve requirements. This is decrease of $3,l17,225, as compared with last week. The statement follows:
 Loans, $l ,052, ,331. 200; increase, 8, ,15s, 400. Deposits. $1 ,O3l, 33S. 700; decrease. $2720 sc0. , Circulation, $45,749,2OO; increase, si53,4OO Legal tenders. s75153, 800; decrease, s. 554, 900.

 New York October 6-The FInancier says this week:
 Unexpectedly because all indications seemed to point to u material increase in the cash holdings of the banks, the offl- cial statement of the New York institu- tions last week showed an important de- crease In this item. The traceable move- ments of money appeared unmistakably to show large increases in cash as tine result of treasury operations and gold imports which gains were only partially offset through the net loss to the interior. The majority of the estimates encouraged the belief that the official statement would show a gain of about $S. 100000 cash; the bank return, however. indicated a loss of $3,7S 300. II seems quite possible that the disposition which was made of the new public deposits that were effected with the local banks during the week may partly account for the discrepancy be- tween the above noted estimated gain and the actual loss In cash. the government deposits indicating an increase of three and three-eighths millions. compared with the previous week. Withdrawals of cash by trust companies. incident to the re- quired increase of s10,OO0O0O in their re- serve. may also have affected the bank statement
 General deposits decreased s2720GOO, which amount closely corresponds with the sum of the decrease in cash, less the increase in loans, therefore, the state- ment made a good profit.
 The required reserve was reduced by $6SO,075, deducung which from the loss of cash. left $3,117.225 as the decrease in surplus reserve to $9423,125.
 Computed on the basis of deposits less those of 80 479,2Oo public funds. the sur plus Is $l7,O42. .925.
 Loans were expanded by only S1,15S 400.
 The daily average of bank clearings for the week was $3T6 GOO. GOO, against $320 OO0,000 in the previous week; clearings on Saturday reflecting Fridays business, were s333, ,09i.22S.

POLITICAL GOSSIP HEARD
 AT THE ALABAMA CAPITOL
BY HERvEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery, October 6.-(Special.)-- only political event of the week that has attracted anything out of the ordinary in the way of attention. was the Compton Harris contest before the state commit tee on Wednesday. This was interesting because it was the first meeting of the new committee and brought to the city a number of recently established leaders of the party. It also seems to have final ly settled the question of membership on the state railroad commission so far as the nomination by the democracy is concerned. It had been freely predicted that Mir Compton would carry his case to the courts If he lost out before the committee and his friends and all the members of the party were agreeably surprised when he so fracefuily accepted the result Of the contest and pledged his support to the nominee of the party, MT. Compton made great many friends by the way in which he took tue result and no doubt will find great many supporters here when he again asks for public office.
 The presence of B. B. Conner in the city this week aroused somewhat of in- terest along political lines. but so far as ss known the nominee of the democracy for the governorship had nothing to say fin any general way concerning what he expects to do. Other men prominent in the Conner following were here and no doubt considerable discussion Of the situ- alton after January l, was entered into.
 There seems no question but what Bibb Graves, Mir. Corners local manager, de- sires to be appointed adjutant general of the Alabama National Guards, when Gen w. w. Brandon becomes auditor after the first of the year. A movement has been on foot in this, as well as other sections of the state to secure this place for one or two other men. but so Tar as is known no definite action was taken with the view of bringing pressure to bear on the appointing power. Among those talked of for the position are for

October the Beautiful.

HN spite of the chilly evenings and cold \ nights of October, this month is the most healthful month of the whole sea- son.
 There is one liability. however, which constantly hangs over the month of Oc- tober-the liability to catch cold at night.
 Clothing Too Thin.
 People have been accustomed to warm nights through the summer They go out for the evening without proper clothing. Before their return they find themselves chilled to the bone.
 Sometimes people go to sleep without proper covering, only to walSen in the morning and find they have caught cold.

Catching Cold in October.

 It is very unfortunate indeed to get cold during the month of October.
