SERIOUS FIRE.
OIdTime Home, Barn and Tenant
 Houses Burn.

Florence, October 12--(Special.)- Fire completely destroyed all the build ings on the Buck Key place, eight miles east of Florence, last night, in cluding the dwelling house, 8 large barn and two tenants houses. The place is now owned by F. w. Perry, but before the war 1t was one of the most important plantations in the county. It was the residence of Buck Key, a large slave owner, and there he dispensed genuine southern hospitality.
 There is no doubt that the fire was of incendiary origin as it started at the rear of the barn and about half way between the roof and the ground. The barn was filled with corn and hay which was all destroyed. The live stock was all saved. From the barn it spread to the tenants houses and then to the main building, which was oc- cupied by the overseer
 The loss was between $4000 and 5000 with no insurance.

Free WhiSkey DidNot Induce This Man
 To Drink

Chas B. James, Memphis, Tenn. Dear Sir:-'T had not written you since taking your treatment for Alcoholism as l was waiting to see what effect 1t would have after the medicine was gone l am now proud to say that it has accomplished just what it was represented to do.
 I commenced taking the Home Treat ment about the 18th of October, 1907, and since then I have never thought of whis- key at all. I have gone through one of the hardest fought political campaigns In this state for years, where there has been more free whiskey used than ever before, but I came out without a scar. l only regret did not take the treatment years ago, for I would now be better off phys- cally and financially and would have missed many a bursting headache. With best wishes, am. yours very truly.

Valuable
 Laxative
 Free

Next to food itself there is nothing of greater importance to the human system than to make that food do it's duty. By duty is meant to furnish health, strength and rich blood to the body.
 It Is necessary first of all to chew food thoroughly Next the stomach must be in condition to digest it, and the bowels to churn 1t ready for re- moval And right here so many find their greatest trouble. The ferment- ing, undigested food stays in the stomach and bowels, impairing Che nerves and blood. giving rise to sallow complexion, headache, sour stomach bad breath and often serious aff1ictions like skin diseases.
 All this is due to impaired digestion and to a refusal of the bowels to do their work. The best way yet found to strengthen the stomach and tone the bowels so that they will do their work is by the use of such grand laxative tonic as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, now for nearly quarter of a century the one most important household remedy. It IS remedy and sure re- lief that all the family can use for the cure of constipation indigestion, liver trouble and all other ailments of the stomach, liver and bowels,
 Thousands of American families use it regularly for these troubles. for 1t can be given with Safety to the small est child In the home of Mary Bel ford. I,ouisyille Ky, as well as that Of John Smith Moorhead, Miss. they would as soon think of being with out the actual necessities as without pr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. But realizing how skeptical many people are about a laxative, owing to the difficulty of finding one that Is genuinely good, Dr. Caldwell will send a free sample of his remedy to anyone desiring it. He will cheerfully do this, so do not hesitate to make the request. The remedy can be bought of any druggist at only 50 cents and s1 a bottle, the large bottle being for family use.
 pr. Caldwell personally will be pleased to give you any medical ad- vice you may desire for yourself or family pertaining to the stomach, liver or bowels absolutely free of charge. Explain your case in a letter and he will reply to you in detail. For the free sample simply send your name and address on a postal card or other wise. For either request the doctors address is pr. w. B. Caldwell, R-50I Caldwell Bldg, Monticello, Ill.

GRAND JURY ADJoURNS
Etowah People Are Interested in Good Roads and Many Will Attend Con vention Grand Jury Is
 Against Amendment.

Gadsden, October u.-(Special. )-Worlk has been started on the extension of the Gadsen Car Works. Superintendent Port ner, who was at Cincinnati conferring with the officials of the company has re- turned here and at once proceeded to execute the plans of the company. Work on the foundations for the new car sheds has been started and will be pushed with all possible haste. Considerable new woodworking machinery has been pur- chased and will be installed as rapidly as room for it can be provided.
 The foundry is to be put in operation and other improvements made. The ex- tensions to be made at this time will cost some $3o0O0 and will result in the doub- ling of the working force.
 The Etowah county grand jury, which has been in session for the past three weeks, completed it's labors and has been discharged. The jury inquired into up- wards of POO cases and returned IA in- dictments. All but two of these are for nlisdemeanors. There are two homicides and the men accused of them have been

These men are Jack Whitemore, who is accused of killing a negro because he refused to kill a calf belonging to another, and Tom Wesley, who killed a man while the two were engaged in looking for party seek ing an entrance to their home, which Wesley and his victim, together with their families, were occupying In common. Wes- ley claims the man was killed by an ac. cidental discharge of his gun.
 Much local interest Is manifested il the good roads convention to be held this week in Birmingham. Judge J. w. Penn of the county court and Congressman John L. Budnett will both be in attend ance and a number of the delegates ap- pointed by the judge have signited their intention of being present. The good roads sentiment is growing in this county and if is only a matter of a little time until the people of the county will be ready to issue bonds for this much needed im- provement.
 A vote was taken by the grand jury be- fore adjournment today on the question of the adoption of the proposed constitu- tional amendment and showed 10 against the amendment and for it.
 A man giving his name as J. Smith and presumably at work at the steel plant was today arrested on warrant charg- ing him with the operation of blind tiger near the steel plant This Is the first arrest of this kind made near the city in some time. There was such an effectual cleaning up soon after the prohi- bition law went into effect that violations al hhnn scarce. The prospect of serving time on the county roads, which was invari- ably a part of Judge Lanes sentences, has been very effective as a deterrent.
