DISPUTE REFEREE,s s.oRDERs. Another Chapter Added = to Famous
 Dickens Case.


 Mobile, Nov. 13.--(Special)-Stil another chapter Is added to the al- ready famous c. c. Dickens case in this city which has run the gamut of several courts. A few days tago Spe- cial Referee in Bankruptcy R. H. Smith, issued an order to 0. c. Dick ems to produce $30.Ooo in cash and bonds. said bond to be a portion of the assets of the English Manufactur- ing Company The defendant was allowed until. November 12 to make the returns. Attorneys for Dickens yesterday filed notice that they would object to the orders of the referee in this particular. These objections were today filed and the objections are on the specific grounds that the transactions alleged in a portion of the order occurred long before the proceedings in bankruptcy were insti- tuted against said c. c. Dick ems, hence they are not within the juris- dictfon of the court. It Is also set forth that the referees order failed to show whether any such amount of money (s2O,oo0) was ever paid over to Dickens.
 The objections have been referred to Judge Toulmin of the United States District Court. Should the objections be overruled it will then be fore the judge to decide if Dickens Is again in contempt.

 Three years ago my system was In q terribly Fun down condition and I was broken out all over my body. I began to be worried about my conJi- ton and was glad to try anything that would relieve me.
 "Peruna was recommended to me as a fine blood remedy and tonic, and I soon found that 1t was worthy of praise. A few bottles changed my condition materially and in a short time I was all over my trouble.
 q owe my restoration to health and strength to Peruna. I am glad to endorse it."
 There are a host of petty ailments which are the direct result Of the weather. This Is partly true of all seasons of the year. Peruna has be- come a standby in thousand of homes for minor ailments.

WORK ON BARGE
 LINE IS BEGUN Canvass for Stock Meets
 Success. BIG SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE MADE Transportation Company Will Be
 Organized. sSetaiIed Plans fer Administratien of Barge Line and its Needs are Enected by Merchants In- terested ih Pro-
'IC SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE MADE

Montgomery business houses and wholesalers will for a certainty oper- ate and finance a barge line on the Alabama River between Montgomery and Mobile.
 The period of mere talk about the advantages of the river, cheaper freight rates, and an Independent boat line. which has been turnsd loose at almost every meeting of the local business men for the past six months, is over. The real work toward the establishment of the river service has started.
 H. s. Kealhofer. Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. has commenced the canvass for the stock. All the io- cal merchants are enthusiastic over the project and several large blocks of the stock has already been subscribed. to- taling about $15.00o.
 The transportation company. which will be organized among the local men, will be incorporated under the laws of the State of Alabama with capital stock of $5o.oo0. This will consist of 500 shares of the par value of s1oo for each share. {
 As soon as all the stock has been subscribed, a meeting of the stock holders will be called and 1t win then be decided just what kind of boat line will be established. It Is now the idea of the promoters to secure a powerful tow boat, capable of pushing six loaded barEes upstream at good speed. These barges will be covered so as to protect the freight and each barge wll have a capacity of from ten to fifteen ordinary carloads of freight, which is as much as the present so- called river packets carry. One trip of the proposed new line would be equal to six trips of the packet service.
 Besides carrying an increased amount of freight in this way, the expenses on the other hand would be considera- bly less it Is expected. The tow boat would be fully coaled at Mobile for the entire trip and 1t would not be necessarwy to stop at every wood pile for fuel. A smaller crew can also op- crate the barge line as the large pas- senger packet requirs a larger num- ber of employees as deck hands. wait CTS and clerks.
 With the operating expenses of this kind of service considerabl yreduced, 1t has been calculated by the local merchants that the tow boat and barge line should mot only be a paying fn- vestment but save them hundreds of dollars in freight rates. The amount already subscribed is ufficient to pur- chase the tow boat, but operations will not be started until the balance of the stock is raised.
 Should the Coosa river between We tumplza and Riverside be opened. ac- cording to the talk now prevalent. t would mean that Montgomery would become the centar lshippins and mean a big increase in the shipments through Montgomery. s

Kidney and Bladder Trouble
 q have been troubled for sixteen years with kidney and bladder trouble and have taken all kinds of medicine for the trouble without relief
 T at last saw pr. Hartman's ad- vertlsement, and I wrote to him de- scribing my case He pronounced 1t chronic catarrh of the bladder and urinary organs. He advised me to take Peruna. which I did, according to his directions.
 After taking one bottle felt much better I have now taken six bottles and I am now cured of the old trouble of sixteen years standing.
 q advise all that are troubled in the way I have been to take Peruna and be cured as l am.
 T feel better than I have for ten years. I shall always keep Peruna in the house cannot praise 1t half en- ough, for 1t has been God-send to me."-Mrs H. F. Russell, Box 94. South Sutton. N. H.

 "I feel 1t a duty due to you and to others that may be afflicted like myself to speak for Peruna.
 My trouble first came after la grippe. eight or nine years ago. q gathering in my head and neuralgia. I suffered most all the time. My nose. ears and eyes were badly affected. For the last two years. I think from your description of internal catnrrh that must have had that. also I sut- fered very severely.
 Nothing ever relieved me like Peru na It keeps me from taking cold With the exception of some deafness [ am feeling perfectly cured
 q am forty-slx years old. I feel that words are inadequate to express. my praise for Peruna.
 The plan of furnishing on a large scale. directly to the people. a remedy for chronic catarrh. Is an immense saving to the people.

MAY EMPLOY MIR. KELLER
EXPERT ON ROAD WORK FOR DAL-
 LAS COUNTY.
Nesftiatiens Are Pending With The Board sf County Commissioners
 News of The Central

Selma. Nov. is-(SpeciaD-It is probable that on Monday the Court of County Commissioners of Dallas coun- ty will close a contract with w. s. Keller of Jackson. Tenn, and employ him as engineer and superintendent of the public roads of the county.
 Mir. Keller will reach Selma Monday and soon after his arrival will have hearing with the Court of County Since that body deter mined some months ago that the ser vices of an expert road builder and engineer was needed to build the roads of the county. negotiations for the em- pioyment of Mir. Keller has been going on.
 MT. Keller Is considered as one of the best road engineers and road builders in the country and for sev- eral years past has been employed and engaged in building the public roads in Jackson county, Tenn. He was sug- gested to the Court of County Com missioners some months ago by Mir. Winslow. a United States road expert, who highly recommended him.
 Since the negotiations opened be- tween Mir. Keller and the Court of County Commissioners the question of salary has probably cen the only mat ter that has caused MT. Keller not to accept an offer made him by Dallas county. This matter has not been agreed upon and the members of the court hope that MT. Kellar will on Monday accept the offer.
 It Is understood that Jackson coun- ty. Tenn. is paying Mir. Keller ss.ooo a year for his work in that county. An offer equal to that or maybe bet ter has been made MT. Keller by Dallas county. and his coming to Selma to consult with the members of the Court of County Commissioners, it Is believ- ed. signifies that it Is his intention to accept the offer which has been made him.
 If Mir. Keller accepts the offer 1t is thought that he will move to the county about the first of the year.

SALTY LETTER GOES TO COMER Challenged to Co to Mo-
 bile. HAMBURGER WOULD MEET HIM Senator Points Out Two Public
 Records Wishes to speak With the Governer At His old Home In Barbour
 and At His Present Home in Jefferson @ County.
HAMBURGER WOULD MEET HIM

State Senator Max Hamburger, IT,,
 of Mobile, who came to Montgomery last night from Southeast Alabama.
 where he has been speaking against
 the amendment. gave out salty letter
 which he mailed yesterday to Govern
 or Conner, challenging the Governor | for a series of joint debates in Mobile.
 Barbour and Jefferson Counties. Senator Hamburger charges the
 Governor with betraying pledges to
 the people of Mobile County and chal-
 lenges him to go there and give, an ac- count of his stewardship as a public
 official and match his record with that of the Senator.
 The letter of Senator Hamburger is as follows:
 Montgomery. Ala. Nov. 1s. 1909. Hon. B. B. Conner. Governor. State of Alabama. Montgomery. Ala. Dear Sir:- .4
 T observe that you have been ma king many speeches throughout the State in defense of your administra- tion, and note that you have failed to include Mobile County in your itiner- ary. It is my intention. in few days. to make tour of those points in Mo-
 bile County. which you saw proper to visit in your intellectual effort to de- feat me as State Senator from that
 District.
 T hereby challenge you to series of discussions at the same points, you | to give an account of your stewardship and to give my record. It Is my pur- | pose to showthat yours k the most | disastrous administration. the State ot | Alabama has seen since Reconstruct | ion days--despite my efforts to make | 1t a success.
 | Execrates His Name. .'I believe that a vast majority of the l best people of Mobile County execrates | ctyour name, and for good reasons. Not only have you never shown any | friendly attitude toward the people Of 1 that matchless and superb city ana county. but your utterances and your acts have exhibieed an hostility utterly
 unjustified and uncalled for. After crippling our magnificent school system by repudiating your promises to the people of Mobile and | betraying the Democratic platform, | you refused to embody in your call for the recent extra session of the Leg l islature a relief for the Mobile schools I by taxation of the Mobile people. After we shall have finished our l tourof Mobile County, shall be most 1 happy to go with you into Barbour, | your former home, where 1t Is charged you were engaged in the sale of ltquor
 for many years, or into Jefferson. where
 the sad faces Of the little, children in I your cotton mill is a mute and inglo- | rious story of mans inhumanity te man. Yours very truly, Max Hamburger, Jr." Mahf1a txrtll n RirUae
