CENTRAL PLANT
 RISES FROM ASHES

Admission, April 3.-(Special.) )-Phoe-
 nix-like. the plant of the Central Foun-
 dry company is rising out of the ashes,
 and already parts of it are reaching 30
 feet high above the ground, although
 the carpenters began. work only few days ago.
 On March 22 it was decided to re-
 build this plant, and since that time
 great progress has been made. It has indeed been a case of hustle. A large
 crowd of men are at work. The debris of the burned plant had to be removed
 and material secured for the new
 structure. all of which has taken time, but now more than 150 concrete foun- datons have been put in the ground
 and brick piers built on them. upon
 which will rest the posts to support the building
 On the north side the course of the water way has been changed, and a
 concrete retaining wall owed 500 feet long and in some places eight feet high has been built in the surprising ly short time intervening since the work was begun.
 The cupola house is nearly far enough advanced for the beginning of operations, and will be completed in d few days after the new elevator ar rves. This work is in charge of W. L.. Grim.
 The new foundry will contain over l 1000 square feet more floor space than the plant destroyed by fire last month.

J. E. TURNER IS
 GIVEN FIVE YEARS
TALLAPOOSA LEGISLATOR IS CON- NlCTED OF MANSLAUGHTER IN FIRST DEGREE-KiLLED JACK ERSoN-TAkES APPEAL.

Dadeville, April S.-(Speeial.) 1.-The jury in the case of J. Fletcher Turner charged with the murder of Jack Hen derson, returned a verdict of manslaugh- ter in the first degree at o'clock, today and gave him a term of five years. He appealed.
 Turner is a member of the legislature from this county and the murder and trial created much interest
 It was shown in the trial that Henderson had made previous threats on the life of Turner, but at the time he was killed he had no weapon on his person. Three physicians testified that five shots en- tered the back of the victim.
 Bad feeling had existed between the two men, it is said. for two years before the killing last fall.
 An interesting phase of the argument by lawyers was the development of the fact that an uncle of Turner killed an uncle of Henderson 37 years ago. He dis appeared and has not been heard from until this time

 ALL STOMACH DISTRESS GOES

There would not be a case of indiges- ton here if readers who are subject to stomach trouble knew the tremendous digestive virtue ctntained in Diapepsin. This harmless preparation will digest heavy meal without the slightest fuss or discomfort, and relieve the sourest acid stomach in five minutes, besides overcom- ing all foul, nauseous odors from the breath.
 Ask your pharmacist to show you the formula plainly printed on each 50-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin, then you will readily understand why this promptly cures indigestion and removes such symp- toms as heartburn. feeling like a lump of lead in the stomach, belching of gas and eructations of undisested food, water hrash, nausea, headache, biliousness and many other bad symptomsI and, besides,

 If your stomach is sour or your food doesn't digest. and your meals don't tempt you, why not get 50-cent case to- day from your druggist and make life worth living?
