once tried to arrange a team to take
part, but owing to the fact that all of
our regular players leave Sunday
morning to take part in the Central
Illinois Golf Association, which is held
at Decatur during the coming week,
and we would not wish To send our
second team for it would DE apt to
make a very poor showing compared
with teams which will represent Keo-

want to ask you to postpone same on
account of cur inability to partake,
but should the weather or ANYTHING
else interfere with your having the
meet, you Will please lit us know. and
We will be only too glad to come any
time after the week of the nineteenth.

High Water at st. Louis.

The high water at St Louis is inter-
fering greatly with steamboating at
that port the larger boats being unable
to get any farther than Alton owing
to the fact that they can not go under
the Eads bridge Thus people who
wish to make trip up the river from
St.Louis are compelled to go to Alton
to get on board. It is not thought that
these conditions will last long, how
ever, as the water around here is way
down now and the southern portion is
simply getting the superfuous mois-
ture from here.

Cullman, November 2.--(Special )-Ex-
Congressman w. NJ. Howard of Fort
Payne spoke against the amendment here
this morning at IL O'clock at the court
house, and at 1870 o'clock this evening
at the Esther opera house. He was in
troduced by George H. Parker, chairman
of the defenders committee for this coun-
ty, and representative from this county.
Mayor George Boyer of Cullman presided.
The largest crowd seen In the town
since the campaign began packed the
courthouse and was doubled tonight at the
opera house. Tonight the audience con-
tained the leading men of the city with
their wives and daughters. This morning
the audience was from all over Cullman
county. There were noticeable in the
morning crowd large number of the old
Confederate veterans The crowds at
both meetings were entranced and leaned
forward to catch every word the speak
er uttered, emphasizing their approval by
comments and applause.
The Cullman Cornet band played at both
ing strains of Dixie" Mr. Howard said:
Ladies' and Gentlemen:
II am delighted with this splendid audi
ence. and l am proud of the fact that
after living here as a citizen among you
for two years you think enough of me to
call me back to you to speak on this all
important question. I had no intention
of taking part in this campaign. I had
retired from active politics since 1 repre-
SaptaH this tuyn
gress. You know what stood for then,
and that have always stood for certain
great principles, among them local self
government and majority rule.
when this campaign began took up
the fight with my paper. and thought
that would be my part. But am forced
into the battle by the spirit of intolerance
and Phariseeism of the amendists. 1t is
a call to duty that have answered In
the homes OF my people.
IT have come against my wishes. I
would prefer the quiet of my home, but
duty demanded 1t of me and 1 am
here.
my friends, you know I belong to no
party. 1 am the stormy petrol in poll
tics, and when I took my stand against
this amendment I thought I was in the
minority. Somehow I had gotten used to
being in the minority, and since the peo-
pie In this state had voted for prohibi.
ton thought they would unthinkinsly
follow the same leadership and vote for
the amendment too. Hence 1 felt still
alone. 1 am ashamed that 1 ever thought
this. / know now that you are read
ing, thinking people. and today 1 am
hopelessly In the majority on this ques-
tion.
This is the third audience I have
spoken to on the question of this amend
ment. and 1 mean, IL I know my heart,
to be fair. If say thing that Is untrue
or unfair and you know 1t. please tell
me so.
These amendists claim a great and
pressing need to put this police regula-
ton In our constitution. Let us see what
this great need is. Did we need it this

COURT WEEK ON
AT GREENVILLE
BIG CROWD ASSEMBLIES AND
HEARS CONGRESSMAN DENT
SPEAK AGAINST THE AMEND
MENT.

Greenville, November 1-(Special) Cir
Quit court convened here at o'clock to-
day with Judge ]. C. Richardson ON the
bench. The judges charge to the jury
was up to his usual high standard.
The commissioners court was also In
session and the fact that committee
missioners on "a good roads proposition,
together with the extensive advertising
that Hon. Jesse H. stallings and Con-
gresham s. H. Dent would speak against
the proposed constitutional amendment
during the morning, brought a good crowd
to town.
Mr.. Dent had a fine audience to speak
to, majority of whom were in sympathy
with him in his opposition to the amend
ment There were about 20 ladies pres
ent and some 80 negroes, the remainder Of
the available space being taken up by the
large audience of men, of whom about
800 were present T. 10 speech was without
bitterness or personalities, and was we'll
received by his hearers. He INDUCED in
a good many suppositions, but altogether
made good speech.
Mr.. Stallings was detained on some i'm
portant case in Pensacola and could not
be present to speak Many were disap-
pointed in not hearing him, as he has
many friends in lis home county who
would have been glad to have heard him.
Mr.. Price arrived on the noon train
today and is billed to speak here tonight
at the courthouse in favor of the amend
ment.
While the people are divided on the
question of the amendment, there is no
bitterness whatever in the county be-
tween the two factions. There is some
good-natured railery, but no anger has
been displayed in any community. In
fact, In many comm unities there Is but lit
tie being said Those who are In favor of
the amendment are wearing the white
ribbon, while those against are wearing
the red flag.

claim will take 1t out of the hands of

the power to make you fly to it for safe

tween the Conner legislature and your
homes, viii you risk them? Were they
not elected on the democratic principles
of local option? Did they not forget their
solemn pledges? Can you trust them
more?
They say they will not enforce section
2 and search your homes, or punish you
for violating section l in making wine.

An election pledge Is just as binding as
any solemn obligation. Did they keep

Slow Digestion
A Frequent Form of Stomach Trouble
Readily Cured by Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.

This complaint constitutes one of the
most common forms of dyspepsia. 1t Is
the bane of those who ignore natural
laws, and forget that the healthy action
of the stomach Is dependent on the con-
dition of both body and mind. Those
whose pursuits oblige them to pass much
OF their time within doors; men of letters,
and of business, whose minds are seldom
perfectly relaxed; administrators, specu-
lators. financiers, and the various profess
sional men, fall ready victims to 1t.
Slow digestion occurs In persons of all
temperaments and habits, but oftenest in
those of irritable, or nervous disposition,
and anxious aspect OF countenance, who
are popularity characterized as "dyspeptic
looking" Eating too rapidly is a com
mon, exciting cause of the disorder, as Is
also imperfect mastication of food from
loss Of teeth.
juices, and an insufficiency of the motor
and muscular, or churning movements of
the stomach walls, and the food remains
entirely too long in this organ, instead
of being passed down into the small in
testine at the proper time.
Even a dinner not exceeding the ordi-
nary limits is followed at varying inter-
walls, but usually within an hour, by a
feeling of weight and oppression in the

1T should be quite well, If it were not
necessary to eat" Is a common statement
made by sufferers from this form of stom-
ach complaint. Many of them actually
dread the approach of meal time know
ing what disagreeable symptoms they are
sure to experience after eating; and would
doubtless discontinue the ingestion of
were possible to live without eating.
There Is really no necessity whatever
for depriving ones self Of the pleasures
of the table, or to starve the rest of the
system because the stomach Is derelict
in it's duty, and does not digest the food
as quickly or as thoroughly as II should.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets compel the
stomach to perform its functions properly
and assist 1t very materially In the dis
charge of its duties, single grain of
the principal digestive ingredient of these
tablets being sufficient to digest 5000
grains of food. They not only digest the
food however, but also tone up and
strengthen the peptic glands, and the mo-
tor functions, so that the food will not
remain In the stomach longer than neces-
sary Every case Of slow digestion and
all other forms of dyspepsia are readily
durable by the use Of these tablets, which
make up the gastric deficiency, and sup
ply the disordered stomach with exactly
the same digestive juices that are found
in a healthy, vigorous stomach.
