LAW HITS employees
AND MASTERS alike

. SYDNEY, N. s. w., Dec. 23.-Any
person who ferments labor troubles
ending in a strike or lockout or as
sists in fermenting such discord, will
be liable to Imprisonment for one
year.
A bin imposing such a penalty
passed the legislature this week.
The bill resulted from the indus
trial paralysis and enormous loss to
business resulting from the present
strike of miners. This is the most
radical labor legislation passed in the
history of New South Wales. 1t re-
fers not only to strikers, but also to
employers and is expected to have
immediate effect on the existing
strike.

EUTAW HAS MANY
 NEW BUILDINGS
TOWN HAS BEEN RAPIDLY RE- BUILT SINCE THE DISASTROUS FIRE A YEAR AGO-coURT WILL CONVENE MARCH 22.

Eutaw, March Special. )-Eutaw destroyed the west side of the busi- ness part of the city last April, there has been built in Entaw eight stores and office buildings, all of brick but two, and they are of cement blocks, two brick livery sta bles, one beautiful brick church, brick calaboose and a number of residences. Plans are now being made to erect a handsome brick building on J. J. Dew's lot on the southwest corner of the pub lie square. When this building is com pleted Eutaw will be practically new town and everything will have a much nicer appearance. The streets have been wonderfully improved under the new municipal administration and the ante-bellum courthouse looks as If it had just been built, since the painters have finished putting two coats of paint on it. The commissioners decided last fall to paint the outside of the court house and the new commissioners who were inducted into office in January decided to fix up the interior also. The fence will also be painted which will add still more to the looks.
 Spring term of the circuit court will convene on March 22. There are not many civil cases to be tried. The crim- inal docket is larger than usual, there being 99 cases. Others are to be added after the grand jury adjourns. Most of the criminal cases are for mis- demeanors Not a single capital case appears on the docket. Dave Means charged with Killing young Hales and who was carried to Birmingham for safe keeping, and who tried to commit suicide in the Jefferson county jail last week, will have an investigation be- fore the grand jury during the first week of court.
 The recent heavy rains in this county have done considerable damage in the way of washing plowed lands and have put the farmers several days behind with their work.
 The infant son of Postmaster and Mrs. Charles Hays died Tuesday and was inferred at Oak Hill cemetery Wednesday at II o'clock.

Free Mail Delivery.

Decatur, March 11.-tSpecial. )-Post- master William Moseley received notice that the Decatur postoffice would be- come free delivery office on June 1, 1909. This office has been entitled to free delivery for some time, but for some reason the matter has been hang ing fire for several months in the de- partment at Washington. The receipts of the office now are far in excess of the demands of the department for free delivery. The increase in the receipts of the office here have not been by a sudden jump, but has been gradual for several years. New Decatur has had free city delivery for something like four years, that being separate and distinct office from the Decatur office.

BASCOM TURNER
 IS ACQUITTED

Decatur, March, 11.-(Special.) )-Bascom Turner waes acquitted of the murder of Walter Holland today by jury at Moul- ton, Lawrence county. The jury was out only an hour.
 The killing took place at Caddo at a justice court about 8 year ago and re- suited over a case of trespass for which the Turner's had been arrested at the in- stigation of the Hollands. The evidence showed Walter Holland had told Bas- com Turner's father he swore to a lie and struck him and was on the old man beating him when Bascom plunged a knife into young Hollands heart, killing him almost instantly.
 The grand jury some time ago indicted Bascom Turner for murder in the second degree and it was on this indictment that he was tried. The case has been quite a celebrated one on account of all parties being prominent farmers of Lawrence county

MAKES STRANGE
 SIGNS IN COURT

Columbus, Ga., March 1.-(SpeciaL)- News was received in Columbus last night of a rather unusual case at Scale, Ala, yesterday afternoon. James T. Kitt- rell of Girard was on trial on charge of violating the state prohibition law. After the jury retired to make a cer- dict MT.

Ensley, March H. - (special) = The whereabouts of J. A. Adams, the missing money order clerk of the Ensley post office, is still unknown. The investlga- ton of the postoffice inspectors shows a shortage of about $145O Adams was ap- pointed money order clerk about a year ago and was transferred under the civil service rules from the Tanama zone. Postmaster Thomas has given out no statement but rumor put the shortage at the above amount
 As Adams was under the civil service rules the change of postmasters did not affect his position. But little seems to be known as to his antecedents, though it is said he halls from Texas.
 It is stated he was under surety bond for $2OO0, which will more than cover the deficiency.

FIatuIency or Wind
 On Stomach
As 1t Is Commonly Named, Means That Decaying Food Is Making Gas.

ubis most serious condition is very nrevalent and results most distressingly and fatally oftentimes. The stomach in cases of fiatulency is unable to digest the food properly Decay sets Tn, gases form, extend the stomach, force their way downward into the bowels, and if not relieved it extends upward pressing against the lungs, liver and heart, caus- ing shortness of breath, belching, foul odors and many times sudden death. Foods which are filled with gases, when taken into a deranged stomach cause natulency rapidly, vegetables being, espe- cially given to this quality. Against such A condition the stomach can do but little, because these foul and poisonous gases affect It's glands, muscles and tissues to such a degree as to incapacitate 1t all most at once.
 These gases distend the stomach in all directions. preventing the contracting
 muscles from doing their regular duties,
 or if they do force the gas from the
 stomach it goes elsewhere in the system with even more harassing results. and
 then the decaying mass still remains to
 generate more gases.
 The most effective methods for allay-
 ing f1atulency is to remove the cause of gas making. An emetic will do this but
 the stomach will have the same trouble the moment new food enters it.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets get at gas
 food at once, digest it, prevent decay. quickly reduce food to nourishment, make good rich gastric fluid and pass the dl- gested food to the intestnes, giving the
 stomach its rest and the system it's nourishment Flatulency simply cannot exist where these little tablets are used They build up the stomach fluids so that 1t matters not how many vegetables vol, eat or food containing quantities of gas the stomach does its work well and quickly.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are sold everywhere and used the whole world over by sick stomachs and stomacba that want to eat heartily and yet not get sick
 Every druggist carries stuart's Dvs- pepsia Tablets, price 50 cents per hox The demand for these little digesters is constantly increasing.
