WOMAN Is DRUGGED
AND HOUSE ROBBED
BURGLARS GET $4s5 CONCEALED
IN THE BED OF MR.. AND MRS.
TOBY LANCASTER AT EAST
GADSDEN.

Gadsden, September 19.-(Special.)-A
mysterious robbery was committed in
East Gadsden last night at the home of
Toby Lancaster. Mr.. Lancaster and his
wife had accumulated the neat sum of
$4S5 by hard work on the farm and be-
ing afraid of banks kept the money at
home in the tick of the bed where they
slept
Yesterday evening Lancaster came to
the city to sell some cotton, carrying
samples with him, and stayed over lign,.
During the night, after Mrs. Lancaster
had retired and was asleep some one en-
tered the house and with the aid of
chloroform, to render her unconscious,
took the money
When Mrs. Lancaster awoke she was
lying on the floor in a dazed condition
and when she recovered her senses dis
covered that the money was gone. The
police were at once notified and dogs were
put ON the trail of the thief, but after
following him to the barn the trail was
lost.
Mr.. Lancaster came home in the
r,ornine' and said he had spent the night
with relatives in the city. The whole
thing has an air of mystery and so far
g clue as to where the money
could have gone. No one but the man
and wife knew of the whereabouts of the
money, it is said, though the thief must
have been perfectly familiar with the hid
ing place.
Only a few months ago Lancaster lost
quite a sum of money under circum-
stances that have never been explained.

SEYMOUR WILL HELP THE
FARMERS IMPROVE COTTON

Montgomery, September 19.-(Special)-
w. H. Seymour who has for several
years devoted himself in various ways
to movements which he considered of
benefit to the farmers, has undertaken to
interest the rural citizens of Alabama in
what is known as the Williamson meth
cd of growing corn. The details of this
method are more or less complicated, and
any attempt at an explanation of them
in short letter would be inadequate.
However, Mr.. Seymour is sending out
to all sections of the state and to any
who many desire them, full particulars
of this plan of increasing the corn prod
uct of the state.
This proposition carries with it no adj
vertisement of any particular kind OF
seed and has behind it nothing in the
way of promotion for any man or set of
men. 1t represents simply the life study
of E. M Williamsn of Huntsville, S. c.,
who has given to the raising OF corn his
every attention. Mr.. Seymour says that
he believes that it is necessary for the
farmers to grow the largest amount of
corn in order to be able letter to hold
the cotton crop.
''In this | see a panacea for a large
part of the farmers Ills says Mr.. Sey-
mour.
Mr. Seymour has presented this matter
to the probate judges and other leading
citizens of the various counties and has
in his office so or 60 letters from said
judges indorsing the plan and COM
mending his efforts. He expects to give
a series of prizes amounting in all 10

laws of Alabama were made to be OBJ
served and that so far as he was able
to do so he is going to encourage the
officers along this line
However, it is now said by men who
ought to know that there is no present
prospect of a reassembling of the law
makers to act upon this or any other
question. 1t is believed that the best
way possible will be to wait until the
new law goes into effect and observe the
respect which it receives before consd-
ering any active measures to further
strengthen it.
Il would not favor a law establish
ing state constabulary, said a mem
Der of the legislature this week. because
it would only bring about an increased
number of officers, and we have too
many of them now. I should be willing
to assist the governor or anybody else
in any way possible in the enforcement
of the prohibition laws, because l be-
lieve, and l tell you further that the
people of Alabama believe, that the at
tempt to control the liquor traffic is the
best thing for all concerned"
Race for Auditor.
At least two men will make the race
for state auditor next time. c. Brooks
Smith, chief clerk just now, will be OPP
posed by M. c. Allgood of Blount coun-
ty, who resigned from the state execu-
tive committee this week In order to go
up against the proposition. Mr.. Smith
has been in the office for a long time
and has a wonderful acquaintance with
all the duties thereof. He got a large
vote at the last primary In his race
against Gen. w. w. Brandon, the pres
ent incumbent, and made enough friends
in all sections of the state to be for.
midable contestant when the fight is
fully on.
Mr.. Allgoods reputation as a citizen
and man of affairs is such as to indicate
that he will be a pretty hard sort 70
handle when the actual fight opens up?
He has considerable experience in just
the class of work that would be demand
ed of him, and it is expected that the
race will be, if left to these two a pref
ty lively one. There is some talk of 9TH
ers entering the contest for this position,
but not of such nature as to be re-
garded definite.
The office is growing more and more
important as the duties accumulate with
the increased business of the state, and
it is now one of the largest auditing
departments of any sort of establish
ment in Alabama. For instance, four
times year the office must draw and
distribute 1900 pension warrants for old
soldiers. which is in itself a pretty big
lob This is only one of the scores Of
duties that are laid upon the force.

that some of them, at any rate, will con-
slider it a closed book in view of the ac-
ton of the last session or the legisla-
ture in providing for statewide prohibit
tin. Fl. S. D. Mallory seems to lean to
this idea, saying at the same time:
Everybody knows where 1 stand ON the
liquor question"
tt is very evident, though. that there
will be an issue along liquor lines en-
bodied in the question of the enforcement
or non-enforeement of the statutes. 1t is
an open secret in the larger centers the
prohibition laws are more or less of
farce so far as their enforcement is con-
cerned. Within the past week this has
been made manifest by the open and
frank statements of Alabama solicitors
To be perfectly honest, it is not antici-
pated that there will be any more seri-
Gus effort to enforce the prohibition law
in Montgomery after January l than
there has been in other cities of the
state. Hence it is that the question will
be, not more prohibition law, but what
to do with the laws already on the
books. If it is impossible TO secure ODE
dience to the regulations extant, it is ar
gued that it will not be any more likely
that further legislation will be any bet
ter respected.
Talk of Extra Session.
1t is by no means a secret that the
question of calling an extra session Of
the Legislature to deal with the prohibit
ton question has been seriously consd
cred by Governor Conner and his ad-
vsers. Men who are close to him have
said that he had in mind some such ac-
ton as this if out of it could be secured
a better observance OF the law.
So far as can be found out, the gov
ernor has conscientousy desired the OBJ
servance of the prohibition statutes. He
has frequently asserted in conversation
nd on the stump, that he believes the

WEEKS POLITICAL TALK
AT THE STATE CAPITAL
BY HERvEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery, September 19.-(Special.)--
Incident to the meeting of the state dem
ocratic committee this week there was a
good deal of talk as a natural result.
Some of it was old, but there was much
that was new, and close observers pre-
tend to see in a portion of the latter in
terestiug matter for the future. One of
the reports that is bound to attract wide
spread interest is that to the effect that
R. e. Spragins of Huntsville Is consid-
ering entering the race for the nomtna-
ton for governor on a local option plat
form. Mr.. Spragins was the only menu
Der of the upper house who voted
against the prohibition bill passed by the
last legislature, and he is known to ia
vor local option as a solution of the
liquor problem.
Mr.. Spragins is a lawyer, large owner
in a number of Industrial enterprises, as
we'll as a successful banker and finan-
cier. His course in the last session of
the legislature was one of marked indie
pendence. He was for and against the
administration measures as they ap-
pealed to his judgment, and no man was
able to say that he could tell how Spra-
gins would vote before 1t came to a
showdown.
1t is not believed that Mr.. Spragins
would have support in any general way
from the forces which are now in SYM
pathy with Governor Conner. 1t is also
problematica1 as TO what extent he
would be favored by any other particular
line of thought, politically speaking. AS
a matter of fact, it Is believed that ne
would have to look for support from
that class Of voters who are absolutely
independent on all subjects.
Prohibition as an Issue.
VIII prohibition be an issue in the next
gubernatorial campaign? This question
is being conned over by the politicians
who are not yet ready to answer one way
or the other. It is believed, however,

Common Sense
And A Tablet
Do Away With Dyspepsia, Stomach
Trouble and Make Meals
A Pleasure.

When your stomach goes on strike
and mass meetings of indignation are
held all over your body, then 1t is that
YOU should sit up and take notice.
It is clearly and only question of
common sense-s this thing called Dys-
pepsia. Take away, by abuse, over eat
ing. excuses and high living the things
which the stomach needs and you have
dvspepsia and Indigestion; then other
malades follow these-this is common
sense.
The stomach is willing enough but you
won't let it do its work. You take away
the materials which are SO necessary
for it to use.
Give back these materials and dys-
pepsia and indigestion flee and the whole
machinery of man begins slowly to move
and do its work.
What the stomach needs is nerve force.
fluids for it's digestive glands, nourish-
ment and power. All these necessities
it takes from the blood. If dyspepsia
gives nothing to the blood, the blood gives
nothing to the stomach.
This is common sense, also, pure, SIM
pie and unalloyed.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are common
sense pressed by high power into tab
let's. In these tablets are powerful es-
sences which go into the stomach, digest
food stop gas making, prevent decaying
of food, enrich the gastric juices, are
absorbed by the blood and thus give it
strength to furnish a better fluid for
digesting the next meal. Every physl-
clan knows what comprises these tab
let's: every druggist has the same knowl-
edge also. They are natural common
sense digesters which do the work for
the stomach quickly and well. Every
drug store carries them, soc per pack

city council has found that the demands
of the town for water are not being sup
piled by the present source, and has de-
tsrmined to add three other springs TO the
reservoir and this, without having to cur
tail the use of water, will furnish all the

had the water analysed and it is found
to be pure.
A small county fair is to be held again
this year for Limestone, at Round Island

tired feeling as well as usual and awoke
in terrible distress at 8 o'clock in the
morning and was dead in a few minutes
from heart failure. Her death was
great shock to her friends and relatives.
She had no children. She was a member
of a prominent Tennessee family. Her
husband, a leading planter and physician,
died few years ago. Her funeral was
conducted today by her pastor, DR.. A. A.

James Easter in this place last evening
after a prolonged illness. She was a
member of one of the leading families of
North Alabama.
The city election for Athens will be
held Monday. The new municipal law af-

less aldermen than it has always
had, one from each of the four wards and
one from the town at large. The ticket is
as follows: For mayor. ]. B. Mcclellan

At the same time the question of whether
or not the cows shall run at large on the
