Bad Breath and
 Sour Stomach
Stopped At Once With Pure Willow Charcoal. the Greatest Gas
 Absorber Known.

There is no necessity to suffer tho humiliation, chagrin and discomfort of bad breath, biliousness sour stomach, gastritis, sluggish liver, etc., when lit tic lozenge of charcoal will cleanse the stomach and make it pure and sweet.
 Do not drug yourself when simple little natural charcoal made from fra grant willow branches, sweetened with honey, will add tone to your stomach, liver and intestines, rapidly absorb gases and stop foul odors of all kinds.
 Charcoal will absorb one hundred times it's own volume in gas. A box full of charcoal placed in bed room will keep the air of such a room pure and sweet
 A little charcoal lozenge dissolved on the tongue after meals will also keep the stomach fresh and clean. Charcoal Is justly called the scrubbing brush for the stomach. The old monks of medic val times cured bad cases of stomach trouble, cast out devils from the system of man by feeding such man charcoal.
 Scientific men of today believe in the great strength of charcoal for the cure of human ills. Too much of it cannot harm one. The system craves it just like an animal needs and craves, salt every so often. Charcoal goes into the stomach gently and Is welcome, 1t set ties down through the action of the stomach, and filters through all the food, absorbing gas, aiding digestion and giv- ing tone to the juices, so that when the food goes into the intestines. and there meets other digestive fluids, the charcoal holds the impurities and thus keeps them from the blood.
 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are made from pure willow. They are prepared fragrant by the use of honey and sweet sned so they please the taste and are easily dissolved
 They have an enormous sale, thus stamping them with the approval of the public. Every druggist sells them, 25 cents per box. Go to your druggist today and buy a box; then after your next meal take two or three of them and judge for yourself of their merit
 Several taken at bed time will prove to you in the morning that they have been at work all night. for your bad breath will not be so bad after all.

GIN DESTROYED

 On Meeting.
NEGRO WOMAN IN A FIRE

Selma. October Especial )-The second gin house in Dallas county to be destroyed by fire occurred Friday evening about o'clock when the gin and saw mill belonging to R. H. Jones. located between this city and Summer field was burned. The gin was run ming at the time and a negro was in the pressing box packing the cotton. Evidently the head of a match was struck in the lint cotton by the gin saws and in an instant the whole place was ablaze. The negro in the pressing box escaped but his hair was nearly burned from his head and he was badly frightened.
 The loss to the gin and saw mill was about $2400 with insurance of 5000. There were six bales of seed cotton in the gin house which were also de- stroyed. The first gin house to be de- stroyed by fire was that of Percy Dawson at Minter about two weeks ago.
 Negro Woman Fatally Burned.
 Sarah Robbins, d middle aged negro woman, was fatally burned this morn ing at her home on Gregory street. The woman arose as usual, and while mak ing a fire in the big open fire place, in some manner permitted her cloth- ing to be ignited. Her screams brought assistance, but too late to prevent her body from the waist up being literally charred. Physicians were summoned but beyond administering opiates to re- lieve the intense pain could do noth- ing for the unfortunate woman, and it is not expected she will live through the night
 Failed to Meet.
 The city democratic executive com mittee failed to meet Friday evening, although five members of the commit tee had signed the request for the call. The meeting was expected to call a primary election on November 8 to nominate to the city council which goes into office in May the candidates to be elected by them for the minor city offices. There seems to have been some mistake as to the hour, some o1 the members thinking the meeting was oa11ed for and some for 6.30. No steps have been taken for another call for a meeting.

The Legislature, of Virginia, after a
recess of two weeks, was reconvened
on Wednesday for the purpose of acting
finally upon charges heretofore formu-
lated against Judge Blackstone, receiv-
ed an answerfrom him as to the charges
and referred the entire subject to the
Committee for Courts of Justice of the
two houses with instructions to report
back at once.
The Legislature according to late ad-
vices received through our exchanges,
were in tangle over the case and at
the time of adjournment at 2 O'Clock on
Thursday had reached no definite con-
clusion and no vote had been taken.
Two resolutions, when the Legislature
met again on Thursday, were introduced
one to the effect that the procedure
up to this time is regular, and that the
two houses may vote at once on the
question of removal and be clearly with
in the provisions of the Constitution
The other is that Judge Blackstone's
answer, being simply denial, entities
him to offer more testimony if he de-
dires to do so.
Later advices, received by telegram
at the time of going to press, are to the
effect, that the resolution excluding
further testimony prevailed and that
Judge Blackstone had been removed
from office

Saturday, March %, 1908.

Hon. VIM. Jennings Bryan delivered
a speech of two hours and thirty min
utes in the city auditorium of Richmond
on Wednesday evening and was accor-
ded an ovation rarely given to the most
popular citizens even of our own State.
Five thousand persons or more were
present and as many more were denied
admittance to the hall as gained en-
trance. Thousands Of people are report
ed as being present, and so great was
the desire of those who failed to gain
admittance, that they threatened to
break down the doors, and it was neces-
sary for the police to interfere and put
an end to the rush. Mr.. Bryan was In
troduced by Governor Swanson and he,
doubtless, voiced the sentiments OF the
great body of the people Of the State IN
the tribute paid by him "to his honesty
integrity ,unselfshness and popularity.
That the audience present on this occa-
sion reflected too the sentiment OF the
masses, not only in our own State but
of most the democrats of the country,
can hardly be questioned if the ovation
he gets, wherever he goes, can be ac-
copied as proof of their preference
for him and their desire to have him
again as the standard bearer of his
party and if they do want him is up to
them to say, whether they will assert
themselves or allow themselves to be
dominated by and thwarted in their
wishes by a few politicians and the
holders of the money bags of the coun-
try.
