T believe the schools should get an appropriation of $400,000. and that they should get it promptly; that 1t may be used during the present year. The towns and the cities of the State have good schools, but in the rural districts of the State, there Is grevious need for this money
 Must Provide Schools.
 "The new Constitution, 1t should be remembered, provides an educational qualification for voting. If you are going to put this restriction upon the citizen. it is surely nothing more than his right to demand that you should at the same time provide him with the schools where he may acquire educa- tion."
 Lamar Smith. of Fillmore County, im- mediately presented an amendment he had prepared, limiting the appropria- tion, until the next meting of the Leg islature and fixing the amount of the appropriation to at $300,000 for 1907, and $450.000 each for 1908, 1909 and 1910. MT. Smith endorsed the re- marks of his predecessor and said he hoped the substitute to the amend ment would pass.
 The presentation of these two plans of action made the issue. and the ora tory' was turned loose. Pitts, of Ferry. Rushton. of Crcnshaw, Arnold of Cal houn, Tunstall, of Hale, Steagall of Dale, Ballard. of Autauga, Bulger, of Tallapoosa, Kornegay, of Dallas. Lee of Houston. smith, of Elmore. Long. of Butler. ,enson, of Jackson and Haley, of Jefferson all had their say. Even Speaker Martin. at one stage in the proceedings, left the chair, to which he called Mir. Carmichael of Colbert, with the idea of making speech but Messrs. Arnold, Tunstall and one or two others, got their heads together, and changed the wording of Mir Ar holds proposed amendment so as to conform in proper manner with the | original bill. when 1t was no longer opposed.
 In BehPlf of the Young Man. Mir. Rushton of Crenshaw County, re- peated MT. Arnold's statement that the bill was the most important that was to come before the Legislature. He said if there is a time when the boys and girls of our country appeal for an | education. it is now. and he urged, on behalf of the young man who Is grow | ing up ignorant of how to. read and write, for support of the common | schools.

ChnneeIIOr's Decision Reserved in Fight Over Gneral Managers APpli- eatfon-FOP Alabama Cen-
 tral Railway Receiv-

Leading counsel of Montgomery was stubbornly arrayed yesterday in the bitter fight being waged In the Chan cery Court on the application of M. c. Stokes for a receiver of the Alabama Central Railway.
 From II o'clock in the morning un- til after last evening, the question was heatedly argued before Chancellor w. L. Parks, by attorneys representing J. w. Dimmick and Joseph P. Dim for a receiver by MT. Stokes was fought by counsel for the Dimmick interests and counsel for MT. Stokes steadily contended that, under the allegations, receiver for the road should be ap- pointed.
 At the conclusion of the speeches. Chancellor Parks took the case under advisement and received briefs and documents from the attorneys. It will the chancellor will render a decree. MT. Stokes was sought to be busted as general manager of the Alabama Central Railway. He secured an in- junction in the chanceryI court pre- venting his oustment and this phase of the case is now in the Supreme Court.
 Subsequently, Mir. Stokes filed a bill asking for receiver for the railroad on grounds of Insolvency.

try is in the common school. Let us vote this money for the schools and go back to our constituents and tell them we did the best we could."
 Mir. Arnold resumed the fcor at the close of MT. Rushton's remarks to urge that continual appropriations were wanted-not appropriations that would lapse at the end of four years, as was proposed by the substitute offered by the gentleman from Elmore. Such a course would simply cause repetition of the fight for the schools four years hence.
 Former Speaker Tunstall. the author of the bill, took the floor at this point in the debate It had been his pur- pose in introducing the bill. he said. simply to provide fer additional funds for the schools for this year, thinking that If he tried to get continuing appropriation this early in the ses- sion, 1t would cause trouble. and de- bate. and delay final action: He did not think more than $3o0.00o could be used to good advantage by the schools this year. At present the school fund amounts to about s1.ooo.oco.
 Tries to Withdraw.
 After several members had spoken, favoring the substitute presented Dy MT. Smith, that gentleman endeavored to withdraw, saying 1t was all right. Ter. objected. saying 1t was all right. MT. Long thought that $soo,o0o was all that could be used to advantage by the schools this year, and the sub stltute gave the schools $5o.00e more each year after the first year than the Arnold amendment.
 At this point MT Goodwin Of Mont gomery moved the previous question. shutting off debate which was closed with brief statements by Messrs. Ar mold and Smith, the authors or the amendment. and the substitute propos- ed.
 The Smith substitute was lost on viva voce vote, and the Arnold amend ment to the Tunstal1 bill was carried on roll call, by a vote of SS to 5, with twelve members absent and not vol
 ing. Those voting no were roster John, King, Kornegay and White or Fer ry The Tunstall bill, as amended was then passed by a vote of 92 to o. Mr. Arnold at once, in order to clinch the vote by which the bill had passed, offered a motion to reconsider the vote by which it had been passed. and then moved to lay the motion to reconsider on the table. Those motions. if passed would have prevented the bill ever be- ing rsconsidered.
 Rut the debate on the bill had car ried the House beyond the hour set for adjournment, and the Speaker de- clared the House adjourned, under joint resolution previously passed, un- til Monday morning at II O'CLOCK

MRS. SADIE ABBOTT

Women for the most part spend their lives at home, and it is these women who are willing and ambitious that their homes shall be kept neat and pretty, their children well dressed and tidy, who do their own cooking, sweeping, dusting and often washing, ironing and sewing for the entire family, who call for our sympathy.
 Truly the work of such woman is ''never done" and is it any wonder that she breaks down at the end of a few years, the back begins to ache, there is displacement, inflammation or alteration of the abdominal organs, q female weakness is brought on, and Che struggle of that wife and mother Co continue her duties is pitiful.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs, is the exact medicine a woman needs whose strength is over taxed. It keeps the feminine organs in strong and healthy condition. Tn preparing for childbirth and re- cuperating therefrom it is most eff cient. It carries a woman safely through the change of life and in making her strong and well assists her to be a good wife and mother.
 Mrs Sadie Abbott, of Jeannette, Pa. writes
 Dear Mrs. Rinkham-
 s'I suffered severely with pain every month and also pain in my left side. My doctor prescribed for me but did me no good; a friend advised Lydia K.
