sore and less able to withstand attack from the tubercular germ.
 A simple mixture of well-known in- gredients is said to be most effective in breaking up a cold. Two ounces of gly- cerine. a half ounce of the Virgin oil of Pine and eight ounces of whisky, thor oughly mixed and taken in teaspoonful doses every four hours will cure any cough that is curable. It has also been found that five ounces of tincture of Gin chona compound can be used in place of the whisky. with equal results.
 To guard against substitution of in ferior pine products, it is better to pur- chase the ingredients separately and mix them at home. The genuine Virgin oil of Pine is prepared only by Leach Chem ical Co.,, Cincinnati, O., and put up by them for dispensing only in half-ounee vials. each securely sealed in a round wooden case.

CANDIDATES BUSY
 AROUND ENSLEY Several Aspirants In Field for
 Beat Offices PREPARE FINANCIAL REPORT EnsIey Expects To Show That She Is In Better Financial Condition Than
 Any Other City In
 the South.

Ensley February 25.-(Special) )--Since the executive committee set the date of the primary election the interest in the race for beat offices Is increasing, and the announced candidates are circulating among the citizens extending the glad hand and cheery smile. There are four candidates for justice of the peace so far, with rumors of others entering the race. The contest for constable promises to be confined to three aspirants. There are two justices to be elected and constable. Of the present justices, Judge James Brodie is asking for reelection He has made an excellent officer and his re-elec- tion is conceded. Judge J. M. Donaldson holds an appointive office and is not in the race, having been recently reappoint- ed. Judge c. H. Mandy Is not candi- date. The announced candidates for jus tice of the peace are James .Brodie, J. C.. Jordan J. E. Whitten and Dr. T. A. Johnson. Each candidate seems confidens of success and is making an active can vass.
 The aspirants for the office of constable are Lee White, the present incumbent, who has made a faithful and competent officer, and whose friends predict will be an easy winner. Clint Eubank, the popu- lar city marshal of Wylam, whose many friends claim victory, and the genial Andy Ramage, otherwise known as the Duke of Fife" who numbers his friends by the score and who is confident of suc- cess as are the others. Altogether the situation is getting interesting and the voter is having some difficulty in making a choice. Those offices are fairly remun- erative hence the activity among the can didates, though they are not the sinecure so generally believed.

Do You Deliberately Torture Yourself Alive By Neglecting Your Stomach?
Remedy Free For the Askin,

A great outcry has arisen during tba last 1eW years against scientists who torture dumb animals alive in the jnter- ests of science. How many people are there. however, who needlessly torture themselves by causing their stomacbs to overwork. Dyspepsia indigestion heartburn, sleeplessness, loss of vim and energy are the inevitable result.
 Are you one of these?
 Why not give your stomach a. rest ?
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will re- lieve your stomach of all its work and do it for you. They are compounded of the very elements and do the work which the stomach performs when in normal health, aseptic pepsin, mali diastase and like ingredients.
 pr. Richardson in writing tn hesis on treatment of dyspepsia and indigestion. closes his remarks by saying: ssFor those suffering from acid dyspepsia, shown by sour, watery risings, or for flatulent dyspepsia shown by gas on stomach, causing heart trouble and diff ficult breathing, as we'll as for all oth er forms of stomach trouble the safest treatment is to take one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal I advise them because they contain no harmful drugs, but are com posed of valuable digestives which act promptly upon the food eaten I never knew a case of indigestion or even chronic dyspepsia which Stuart's Tab lets would not reach.
 Cheap cathartic medicines claiming to cure dyspepsia and indigestion can have no effect whatever in actively digesting the food, and to call any cathartic medicine cure for indiges- tion is a misnomer.
 Every druggist in the United States and Canada sells Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and they are not only the safest and most successful but the most scien- tifc of any treatment for indigestion and stomach troubles.
 Free sample on application.
 At all druggists. Price 50c a box. Or address F. A. Stuart Co, 150 Stuart Bldg. Marshall. Mich.

FIRE CAUSES EXCITEMENT

Decatur February -(Special)- The board of county commissioners of this county has ordered an election To take place on March 30 for the pur- pose of voting on the question of bonds to the amount of $26O, 900 for the purpose of building pike roads
 This election was called some days ago for March Il, but the county com mssioners thought best to change the date to March 30 in order that the peo- pie of the county might have the more time to consider the matter.
 There is little doubt but that the election for good roads will carry, as a large majority of the people of the county favor good roads and they say that the only way to have them is to bond the county
 A peculiar fire which caused no small amount of excitement took place on Bank street yesterday afternoon. In front of Wyker's hardware store there were four bales of cotton on coun- try wagon. The cotton had been sold and the owner had started to take it to the warehouse when negro man came by and struck a match to light his pipe. A portion of the match flew onto the cotton bales and set them on fire.
 Some one turned in an alarm that Wyker's hardware store was on fire and the fire company responded. The fire was put out
 The cotton belonged to M. c. Cardle and was damaged to the extent of about 50 per cent.

 the coming primary and whether or not he would be a candidate for delegate at large, MT. Mallory tonight gave out the following interview:
 Majority Rule.
 'I am receiving inquiries from many to know whether the county executive committee may adopt the majority rule as to county candidates and have what is called the double or run-off primary
 "The state convention platform contains this:
 We favor the nomination of United States senators and state and county of ficers by a plurality vote in primary elections The state committee at it's meeting February ', ordered that a plu- rality vote determine the nominee in the ensuing primary election. The question is thus settled as to the coming pri- mary. In it plurality vote will gov ern as to all nominees from state to county and hence there can be no double or run-off primary.
 "The campaign committee, consisting of the chairman of the state committee and of Bibb Graves, T. U. Crumpton, w. D. Nesbitt, R. T. Erwin, l.. E. Jeffries, R. A. Mitchell and w. R. Walker, will meet at the Exchange hotel, Montgomery, Fri day night next, and will then make the assessments against the candidates and adopt all necessary plans, all of which will be published in the press
 You ask me if I will be a candidate for delegate at large to the Denver con- venton. I will not My positions as chairman of the state committee and as chairman of the campaign committee, make it eminently improper for me to become candidate or to permit my name to go on the ballot. The position of delegate at large to the Denver con- vention is one to be desired, and is a great honor. but for the reasons given cannot even consider becoming a candi- date, much less become one. In reply to your request for my opinion as to whether the Denver convention should nominate a southern democrat for the vice pres idency, I ask why should it not?
 Favors Southern Man.
 We have in the south many demo- cratic leaders eminently fitted for the place ana Wlln nallOnai feputat1OnS as patriotic statesmen.
 "The south comprise a large section of the union. Its people are loyal and as good Americans as those of any other section and stand as firmly for good government and for the support of the constitution and the flag as do the resi- dents of the north, east or west, and their views on all national question as sound. I do not believe in or advocate the nomination of southern man mere- ly because he is southerner but do dep- recate the sentiment that such a. man must not be nominated for that reason.
 Such sentiment should not longer prevail in our party. It is not a worthy one to be held at least by us
 How can we expect to hold the polit- ical respect or confidence of the people of the United States if we continue from mere policy sake, to admit that no south ern man should stand for that great of- flee?
 Understand me, I am not for pushing the nomination of southern man, mere ly because he is such, and because we have the power in the convention to do so, but surely the time has passed when a great leader should be considered un- worthy or unavailable because he resides south of Mason & Dixon's line.'
