 Judge Richardson Talks.
 In letter to the writer Judge Will liam Richardson, congressman from the Eighth district, says: T believe that the most important interest that the state of Alabama has, connected with national legislation, Is the early i'm provement of it's valuable waterways and the development of it's magnificent water power No state in the Union will realize a greater benefit from ap- propriations by the federal government along this line, than will Alabama, for no state in the Union compares with our state in these resources.
 Cheap and reliable water power is what the south needs to multiply it's other things that our state has a direct interest in, that will come up for con- sideration in the next Congress, but the matters that I mention, in my opinion. are the most prominent and deserve earnest consideration"

OFFICIALS MEET
 AT ALICEVILLE
ABERDEEN AND PENSACOLA RAIL ROAD WILL CROSS ToMBlGBEE RIVER AT OR NEAR ALlcEVILLE. NEW BANK AT cocHRANE.

AlicevUIe December 5.-(Special.) IA party of officials and prospectors of the Aberdeen and Pensacola Railroad com pany were met here yesterday by Pres ident Cochrane of the A. T. & N. R. Co., and it is understood that arrangements for funds has been made for the comple- ton of the road to some point on the A. T. T. & N. within a short time. The party was composed of the following gentlemen: H. b. Reynolds, president; H. J. Jennings, vice president; George Townsend, engineer; Woods X Peters Bros, manufacturers and engineers. MT. Atterbury. financial representative of eastern capitalists, was also in the party. It has not been so staed, but 1t IS pre- surned that the roads will cross the river either here or near here. Some predict that they will cross the Tombigee on the bridge of the A. T. & N. This, however, was not confirmed by the officials.
 Work engine No. 1 ran into the steel car which was being unloaded by the construction crew near Cochrane yester- day and did considerable damage to the running gear of the engine which will take a day or two to repair. The engineer and fireman were uninjured, which was only accustomed by the fact that the train was moving slowly The train crew was not aware of the fact that the car was on the main line.
 The speical train which brought Pres ident Cochrane in to meet the party of the Aberdeen and Pensacola road was delayed about three hours at Carrollton on account of a broken spring hanger, and the northbound passenger was also delayed there by the same cause.
 A new bank at Cochrane opened last Monday for business.

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

There is no necessity to suffer tha humiliation chagrin and discomfort Of bad breath biliousness, sour stomach, gastritls, sluggish liver, etc, when a little lozenge of charcoal will cleanse the stomach and make it pure and sweet.
 Do not drug yourself when a simple lit- tie natural charcoal made from fragrant 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 its own volume in gas. box full Of charcoal placed in bedroom will keep the air of such a room pure and sweet.
 A little charcoal ozenge 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 medieval time cured bad cases of stomach trouble, cast out devils from the system of man by feeding such a man charcoal.
 Scientific men of today believe in the great strength of charcoal for the cure of human ills. Too much of 1t 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 settles down through the action of the stomach, and filters through all the food, absorbing gas. aiding digestion and giving 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 ened 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.

for the last 20 years or more. He will have nine or ten assistant secretaries.
 Has $40 Members.
 This conference consists of ministerial and lay delegates to the number of about $40 and the conference embraces the following territory:
 Beginning at the southwest corner of Pickens county, running along the south line of Tuscaloosa county and continuing along on the same parallel of latitude through Coosa county along the southern border of Talladega county to the Geor gia line. Also all of the state of Flor ida west of the Chattahooche river.
 This conference unlike the general con ference of the Methodist church is not q legislative body. The purposes of this annual conference are. briefly stated / as follows: To summarize the work of the year in it's territory; admit members to the conference; ordain qualified minis ters, and assign the preachers to pastoral charges and districts. These assignments are made by the bishop after consulting with his cabinet, the ten presiding eld- CTS.
 It is not expected that there will be many notable changes this year as the number of pastors who have served the four years limit is fewer than usual Three of the ten presiding elders have served the full four years on their dis tricts and will have to be moved. It Is supposed that all of these, however, will be retained in the office of pre- siding elder. This is all guess work however. as it is not at all impossible that several new presiding elders might be made at this conference. While the purposes of this conference are not lesis- latve yet much of it's work is done sx, lative body Yet there are 42 questions covering every phase of the work of the church that must be asked and an swered in open conference.
