THE CENTRAL MAY
 RUN NEW TRAIN
LOCAL BETWEEN OPELIkA AND MlNGHAM MAY BE PUT IN TO RELIEVE OTHER TRAIN OF STOPS.

Dadevllle. October 1S.-(Special.)-It is rumored that a new train will be put on this division of the Central of Georgia. It is understood that it will be local from Opelika to Birmingham in the morn- ing and returning from Birmingham in the afternoon, while the trains which run on that schedule now will be fast trains making no stops between Opelika and Birmingham, so that time will be gained for the through sleepers from Jack sonvlle to Chicago. The railroad en- deavored to buy land here with view of putting in tracks here and running the local from here to Birmingham, but the land was priced too high and they de- cided to run the train on to Opelika, where it can be turned without building extra tracks.

DIRECT PAYMENT
 FOR THE TEACHERS
Examiner Brooke Agrees With
 GunneIS on Plan
BY THE VOUCHER SYSTEM
It Is Declared That Present Plan of County Distribution Is Not Only Bad But Dangerous-Three
 Regular Examinations.

Montgomery October 13.-(Special.)-In reporting on an examination of the office of state superintendent of education, Ex- aminer II. Y Brooke agrees with the sup erintendent, II. c. Gunnels, in the state- ment that some means of paying the teachers of the state direct. instead of through county superintendents, should be devised. "I have carefully gone over thls matter with the state superintendent, - says MT. Brooke, "and l am fully con- vinced that the project is feasible aud that by the use of voucher checks, Issued after the county superintendents have passed on certified and forwarded the payrolls to this office the plan can be put in operation without additional clerical assistance"
 It is well known that the system now in vogue is not only bad but dangerous, an instance being the absconding of one county superintendent during the past year and the reporting of another as not up with his funds. Just here the exam 1ner says again: Recent developments brought out by examinations of county superintendents prompt me to again call attention to the necessity for a change in the method of distributing the educational fund of the state, without de- priving the county superintendents of any of their emoluments."
 It Is also reported that during the time from February 1, 1908, to October 1, 1909, there were F, ,25O regular examinations for licenses to teach and 1215 specials. Of the first 7156, or 5S per cent passed; of the second 943, or IT per cent passed. From the regular examinations the de- pertinent received $l51. .02, and from the others s6075. The contingent fund of 5000, the district institute fund of $120O, and the general returns of the office are all accounted for. Of the drawing of per diem on days of special examinations tho examiner says: "rhe department has ad hered strictly to the opinion of the at torney general"
 Heretofore, for years, the fee for ex- animation income has been sufficient to make the department self-sustaining, with balance each year to the general educa- tion fund. Until the last two years, how ever, the net income has not been heavy enough to authorize an additional regular examination. Some time ago, however, 1t was seen that the income would be sufficient and hereafter, beginning in De- cember, there will be examinations in De- cember, April and July This year the net income of the department from ex- aminations was $2900.
 Having three regular examinations will, in a measure, remove the necessity for special examinations at Montgomery, TO more of which will be allowed after De- cember 1, next Temporary certificates will be issued after that date to cover emergencies.
 The new law also provides a fund to be used by county superintendents in furn- ishing tables to applicants so that each may have separate place to work. there by preventing unfairness on examinations

Bad Breath From
 Stomach and Catarrh
Many Persons Are Victims of This
 Disaureeable Complaint.

It is quite common to hear of persons being spoken of as thoroughly agreeable companions, highly entertaining in con- versation, fascinating and attractive in manner, gifted, well-bred, accomplished and possessing all the attributes and qualifications necessary to make them de- sirable guests at parties and entertain ments but for the single fact that, for some cause or other, such as stomach trouble, decay of teeth, or throat and nasal catarrh, they are the unfortunate possessors of bad breath.
 That one drawback Is sufficient to make them almost universally summed. and no matter how erudite or scholarly they may be- how much they may have travelled or how large fund of interest ing anecdote they may have accumulated, and which they may be capable of relat- ing in an entertaining manner, the fact that they are victims of offensive breath causes every other consideration to be set aside by their friends.
 This is indeed unfortunate, and it has been the means of causing many per son to avoid society and social inter- course, because, realizing as they do, how disagreeable it must be to others. and wishing at the same time to avoid embar- rassment and criticism, they are left with the only alternative of remaining off to themselves, and being deprived of many of the pleasures of life.
 Such a deprivation is, however, who'll ly unnecessary, and persons who have long been troubled with foul breath from any cause, should know that there is remedy for It's relief, one which is Q powerful absorber and remover of foul gases from the stomach, and an efficient oxidizer and purifier of offensive breath, whether from stomach or teeth, or caused by catarrh--apd that justly cele- brated remedy is SrUARTS CHARCOAL LtOZENGE
 Thousands of persons testify to the fact that though they were once victims of bad breath, which compelled them to avoid the companionship of others, they are now able to mingle freely with their friend to attend entertainments. parties and the theatre, and to enjoy life gener- ally, happy in the thought that through the use of Stuart's Antiseptic Charcoal Lozenges, their breath Is rendered sweet and pure, and cannot give offense to even the most fastdious persons.
 These wonderfully purifying lozenges, which are composed of the purest char coal and made fro mwillow wod, will sweeten the foulest breath, purify the most impure stomach and besides stopping the fermentation and decomposition of food, will also remove the breath-odors resulting from the use of onions, tobacco, alcohol and German cheese.

FROST AT YORK.
Good Price Brings Lots of Cotton and
 Cotton Seed to Town.

York, October 13.-(Special. "A killing frost fell here this morning, damaging young cotton considerably, and had there been d rain the damage would have been more The drouth is felt on all farms, on account of lack of water for stock.
 This town is to have an up-to-date bot ting works In the near future.
 Cotton is selling for 1S5e cents, and cot ton seed for 42 cents. on the streets here. Consequently the streets are lined with wagons from the four corners of the county and from adjoining counties.
 Quite a number of delegates have ar rived over the Alabama Great Southern and the Southern railroads en route to attend the presbytery at Hadin, in the north end of this county.
 Much interest Is being manifested in the amendment election, and it is safe to say that this county will go on the "anti' column by handsome majority.
