RAILROAD WORK
 IS SUSPENDED

Columbus, Miss, June 2S-(Special) The large force about 10 miles north of Columbus, between this city and Aberdeen, employed by the proposed Aberdeen and 'Tombigbee Valley road has suspended operations. This leaked out on the street this morning and caused quite a sensation because the line was considered as practically a certainty. This is the line originally known as the Columbus, Memphis and Pensacola railway. The name was changed soon after Columbus voted $50.000 to them under certain condi- tions.
 It seems the company has met with difficulty in getting the right of way. Lands promised as gifts are now held for high prices, and the promoters can find no other way to surmount the obstacle except with unlimited cap ital, which they do not seem willing to part with.
 The opinion in Columbus regarding 2 the line is greatly divided Many feel the town has been and will continue to be discriminated against, while others think 1t is the only saliva tion the city will have from the release of the one system enjoyed at present. The result of this movement is very proble- matical

 sands of Cures Prove Its Worth.

There is an absolute guarantee to re- fund the purchase price on any bottle of Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin that does not do what is claimed for it on the label or in our ads. We do not make this guarantee to increase the sale of our goods but because we do not want your money if we can do you no good
 Millions of bottles sold each year and not 50 returned on those sales speaks for itself of the merit of this famous stom- ach and bowel remedy. Letters from thousands of people-mothers who give 1t to their babies and take 1t them selves-old people who gratefully tell of lives prolonged and made happier by good health, doctors who cast aside prej- udice and give honest and honorable testi- mony to its worth, druggists who use it in their own homes sisters of mercy and nurses in hospitals who tell of patients relieved quickly, easily and safely, all join in unstinted and whole-hearted praise of this medicine, the favorite prescription of a modest, unassuming country doctor who used 1t for years in his practice be- fore advertising 1t to the world. Mrs. Almon Willis, Jamaica, vt., says: 1T truly believe it saved my little boys life." H. H. Crawford, Decatur says: Doctors told me I couldn't live. but Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin. cured me-" Mrs. c. E. Miller, Dallas, Tex, says: Had 1t not been for Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin would be in my grave today" J. c. Young, druggist Ozark Mo-, says: "I use it in my home and recommend it to my customers" Dr. l.. A. Covey, Sa- vannah, Tenn, says: 'I get better re- suits from it than any other pepsin I ever used.' It restores normal daily bowel action in the worst cases and is safe and pleasant for babies and delicate women. All druggists sell 1t at 50c and s1 per bot tie. Pepsin Syrup Co.,, 315 Caldwell Bldg. Monticello, H., is glad to send a free sample to any one who has never used it and will give 1t fair trial.

 Community.
BALL TEAM Is ORGANIZED

Tuscaloosa, June 23.-(Special. .)-The city election here passed off very quietly yes- terday, though considerable interest had been aroused in the race for mayor and for the president of the council. Dr. w. M. Faulk, the present mayor, was reelected, defeating the next closest man, R. E. Rodes 60 votes, and Woolsey Fin nell by much larger majority.
 Zimri Shirley was elected president of the council over F. G. Blair, the formers vote being nearly twice the latter's. There were three candidates for chief of police, these being A. McGill, Henry King and R, R. Thomson, the present offi- cer McGill was elected by good ma- jority D. B. Robertson was elected city clerk, J. R. Foster and J. G. Brady also being in this race.
 The following were the aldermen elect ed: First ward, Norfieet Harris and w. E. Bingham; Second ward, Charles Mor- gan and W. A. Ryan; Third ward, w. F.. Bowers and George Villiers; Fourth ward, F. w Monnish and R. T. Majors. This creates an entirely new council with the exception of the mayor and F. w. Monnish of the Fourth ward.
 The completion in the details of the organization of the Tuscaloosa ball team is now assured, and many of the players are already in the city. G. w. Pratt. who has recently moved to Tuscaloosa from Pell City, has been most active in the organization of the team and the success so far of the venture is largely due to him.
 The prospective team, which includes the two Pratt boys, the two Aliens, Jack Reidy and Frank Smith and few local players, is meeting each afternoon for practice on the University grounds and is fast getting into fine shape Other members are expected shortly and the whole aggregation will make one of the fastest teams in the state.
 Tuscaloosa was visited by severe electrical storm yesterday afternoon just after dinner Though no damages was done, several persons were shocked and one or two houses struck. Warner Shocks residence was struck, the only damage resulting, however, being the tearing up of window shade and cur tain.
 Several men were rather severely shocked at Baker store, the voting place in Ward No. 3. The bolt struck tele- phone pole a little distance from the store and ran in on the wire, shocking Charles Abbot, W. c. Palmer and one or two others considerably. The shock to MT. Abbot, who was whiting at the | time caused him to stick the knife in his finger, causing a rather painful in. | Jury.

 IN UNIVERSITY BUILDING
BY FRED G. STICKNEY.

Tuscaloosa, June B. Especial At 10 o'clock this morning with the impress sive Masonic ceremony tn cornerstone of the first new building erected at the university since the sos of the past century was laid. The edifice is Brax- ton Bragg Conner hall. The magnifi- cent new engineering building, which constructed of yellow pressed br.- two stories high, 320 feet long anu 240 feet wide at it's greatest depth.
 The Masonic rites were conducted by Judge J. A. Bilbro, past grand master of the Masonic fraternity in Alabama.
 Before the hour set the crowd, consist ing of summer school officers and stu dents and Tuscaloosa and University folks, began to assemble and shortly afterwards the members of the Tusca- loosa Masonic lodge march ed out in : body
 The purpose of the gathering was announced, there was prayer, the stone was tested according to custom and laid. Inside the stone were placed vari- ous articles, among which were copy of the holy Bible, list of the faculty ot the university, of the officers of the Tuscaloosa lodge of Masons. of the offi- cers of the city government, copies Of the Tuscaloosa papers and numerous coins. When the formalities were over athe crowd adjourned to Clark hall, Where addresses appropriate to the oc- casion were made.
 "a a strong moral lesson from the cere- monies just completed. His talk hinged on the point that we must have Ideals in building our lives as we have plans and specifications for our buildings. The purpose must be to attain that de- velopment and perfection of mind ana heart which will result in the pure and stainless Christ-like character.
 When Judge Bilbro had finished his eloouent appeal for nigh ideals Pres ident Abercrombie presented Governor Conner.
 The governor spoke with his char acteristic vim and virility. He began by telling the audience, consisting mostly of teachers of the great herit- age of the southern youth, and sa1d it was for them to apply the square, the level, the plummet, to their charges and prepare them for the highest plains of knowledge and thought unless secondary teachers are faithful to their charges the state has practically wasted it's money in higher education, for the students of the colleges must pass through the lower schools pefore they can enter the walls of hlgher learning. He spoke of the magnificent educational work of the last legislature, and in closing with some remarks on the prohibition question said that in discussing this problem there is some prattle of the rights of man, but the real question is the rights of the women and children.
 The building committee of the board of trustees met today and ordered the

CUTICURA REMEDIES
 PROVED INVALUABLE

"My brother had eczema three dif- ferent summers. About the sane time each summer it came out between his shoulders and down his back, and he said his suffering was terrible. He used diff ferent kinds of medicines that were said to be good for that disease, but nothing seemed to do him much good. When it came on the third summer, he bought box of Cuticura Ointment and gave it . faithful trial. Soon he began to feel better and he cured himself entirely with Cu.icura and has never been bothered with eczema since. He also used Cutioura to euro bunch over his eye and a terrible corn which was SO bad that he could not wear his shoe. A lady in Indiana heard of how my daugh- ter, Mrs. Miller, had cured her little son of terrible eczema by the Cutioura Remedies. This lady's little one had the eczema 90 badly that they thought they would lose it. She used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment and it cured her child entirely, and the disease never came back.
