A decision by the supreme court up
holds the primary law in general, but
cuts out the provisions allowing county
committees to select delegates to the
convention, the fee provision and arbi-
trary fixing of representation, replacing
that in the hands of the committees.
The decision requires the prohibition
candidates to file under the law and re-
fuses the writ of mandamus asked for.

1t is feared that the storm which swept

1t is feared that the storm which swept
over the entire region during the past
week has seriously injured fruit of all
kinds, and that the crop will be short
again this year, if not entirely destroy
ed. For several weeks preceding the
storm the barometer and thermometer
were at high point, the days and
nights warm and pleasant, with the re-
suit that buds and blossoms were great
ly in evidence and there was every evil
dence of good fruit harvest. Saturday
and Sunday nights the thermometer fell
considerably below the freezing point,
and the ground was covered with man
tie of snow. The storm appears to have
been quite general in its scope in this
western region, and doubtless has done
great damage to the tender buds and
blossoms. s.-Spearihh Mail.

We have been informed that there is
a movement on foot having for it's OBJ
ject the establish of bank at this
place and judging from the prominent
and financial standing of the parties
whose names have been heard mention
ed in connection with the project, it will
certainly have ample financial backing
to insure its complete success. We un-
derstand it is proposed to incorporate a
National bank and with capital of$25,
900 and possibly S5O,O00. We hope no
one here will be so blut to their own in
terests and to the best interests Of tn e
town and community at large, as to at
tempt to throw cold water on the pro-
ject just because they are not interested
financially in it themselves. Thetow ms
and surrounding country certainly are
greatly in need of an institution of this
kind and its establishment here will
add greatly to the business interests of
the town.-Hermosa Hustler.

 GIVEN MORE TIME

 a Tombigbee Valley Railroad com many the concern which has been "ork- ,n for the past eight months to puild
 rood from Aberdeen to PickensVllle' Ala via Columbus, have been allowed until September to have trains In
 oaration over the. line so they could get the s50.o 900 voted by the city of Co., ,,,,,hus The first stipulations were that the line should have trains run .,,ne not later than the coming Jan nary hut this proved impossible on ac- ,o,nt of lack of financial backing. This new time limit is the result Of many ,.ooent meetings and conferences and if is hoped the first of September will ,,,itnass trains running over the line. This is the same line formerly and originally projected as the Columbus Memnhis and Pensacola railroad and ,+ was under this name that the bonds urara voted The name was changed and Columbus stricken out shortly af- fer the bonds were approved by the Columbus people. While there is a eraat deal of opp osition on account of this fact the people stfll need the road and if appears this is the only chance tn get 1t.

HIS CURE RESULTED
 FROM USING CUTICURA

q had varicose veins and was in the hospital three weeks. After was dis charged big ulcers broke out on my ankles. l got some of the ointment which they had given me but it did not do me one bit of good. They kept getting worse instead of better and really I could just manage to get along. 1 had places broken out as big as half dollar and used to lie in misery almost all night long and would cry with the pains, which were something terrible. When I got up I would have to sit in two chairs in order to rest my ankles.
 My sister advised me to try the Cuti- cura Remedies. washed my ankles with hot water and Cuticura Soap and applied the Cuticura Ointment and I had instant relief the first time I used them. Now I am very glad to say that my ulcers are all healed up and l can walk as well as anybody. Robt. E. L. Oliver, 343s Cedar Ave-, Hampden, Baltimore, Md, Jan. Il and IS, 190s."
