After
La Grippe

81 had suffered several weeks
with LaGrippe. Had pains in
my head and eyes. 1t felt as
though there was heavy weight
on the top of my head, until it
seemed that my brain would
burst. | was so nervous that
could not rest or sleep. When
| dozed off | would awake with
sudden jerking of my whole
body. DIR. Miles Nervine, Heart
Remedy and Nerve and Liver
Pills cured me. A number of
friends have since realized the
same benefits. y

The after effects of LaGrippe
are often more serious than the
disease, as it leaves the system
in a weakened condition that
invites more serious troubles,
such as pneumonia, etc.

JUDGE SPROTT
COUNTS VOTES
WelI-known Judge Thinks Amend
ment viii Be Defeated BY
Good Majority.

Livingston, October 15.-(Special.)-
Judge s. H. Sprott, one of the leaders
of the anti-amendment movement In this
county, today counted As men in Liv-
ingston beat who are opposed to the
adoption of the amendment as proposed.
The judge is perhaps the most widely
acquainted man in this circuit and he
thinks the amendment will be defeated
by a good majority.
His count of the vote in Livingston
beat was off-handed and unassisted by
a list of the registered voters of the
county. 1t is probable that the total
vote polled here at the election In No
vember will not exceed 100, as there
are good number of the voters dis
qualified on account of non-payment of
poll taxes. The total voting strength OF
Livingston beat is ordinarily about 145.
It Is worthy Of note that the amend
lists have been claiming this beat by
100 majority.

DEBATE MONDAY
Weakley and O'Neal VIII Speak
At Gadsden :
BIG CROWD EXPECTED
T. B. keiser, Vice President Southern
Steel, Is pleased With Progress
in Building of New Plant.
Schools Need Room.

Gadsden, October 15.-(Special.) -The
Weakley o Neal debate to be held here
next Monday promises TO bring out a
record breaking crowd. Both, the pros
and the ants, are making efforts to get
the people out and with favorable wealth
er there is certain to be the largest at
tendance of any meeting of the campaign
thus far. The debate is scheduled to
take place in the courthouse and the ca
pacity OF the house promises to be taxed
to its utmost. Aside from the subject
under discussion, both men are we'll
known here and each has his admirers
who will be present to do them honor.
Fire yesterday afternoon destroyed the
home of Joseph Erwin, a rural mail car
rier residing just outside the city limits at
the foot of Lookout mountain. A call
was turned in to the fire department but
the house was situated part of the way
up the mountain and out of reach of the
city water and the fire company could
render no assistance.
F. B. Keiser, vice president of the
Southern Iron and Steel company, was in
the city yesterday and made an inspec-
ton of the work on the plant He ex-
pressed his pleasure at the way things
were being pushed under Mr.. Durfee and
said that the prospects were certainly
good for getting a considerable portion
of the plant in operation by the first of
the year.
The crowded condition of the public
schools and the positive knowledge that
this condition will increase as the sea-
son advances, has again started the agi-
tation of more room. When the matter
was about to be voted on last spring
there was such expressed sentiment
against 1t by some of the leading men OF
the city that 1t was thought best to defer
the election to later time. The return of
prosperity has changed the aspect of
things to such an extent that great
change has been wrought In public sentt-
ment, and this, coupled with the absolute
demand caused by the location of the
big rod mill here and the consequent in
crease in population, makes 1t certain
now that any reasonable meature for re-
lief of the congested condition will meet
with popular approval A campaign for
more extended facilities will doubtless be
taken up late this fall so that ample time
may be had for carrying any adopted
plan into execution before the advent of
another school year.

CHILD IS TAKEN
FROM ITS FATHER
Interesting Case In Chancery
Decided At Admission
CITY COUNCIL IN SESSION
Objections to Laying of Sewers In
West Admission Are withdrawn,
Franchise Granted Power
and Development Co.

Admission, October 15-(Special.) 1.-THE old
English theory of wards in chancery has
been argued with such good effort before
Chancellor w. w. Whlteside in this city
that Annie Gordon Saunders has been
taken away from her own father and
placed under the guardianship of her
grandfather, j. B. Gilmore.
The final decree in this case of Gilmore
VS.. C. w. Saunders was rendered yester-
day afternoon. ending one of the bitterest
legal battles that has been fought in Cal
houn courts in many years.
A fact which makes the case unusual
is that the father is a man of perfectly
exemplary habits, and 1t is stated in the
decree that no reflection is cast upon him
by the decision of the court, which merely
decides that the best interests of the
child will be conserved If she be placed
under the care of Mr.. Gilmore, her faith
er having remarked since the birth of the
child. The father, however, is given free
access to his offspring at all times.
The childs guardian must make bond
OF $500 and care for the child as if she
were his own, and he Is restrained from
talking to the child or allowing any one
else TO do anything which is calculated
to lessen the child's respect for her pa
rents.

Cotton in Admission yesterday brought
1872 cents. which is the highest price here
this season. That the farmers are hold
ing with the hope of a continued rise is
shown by receipts at the Farmers union
warehouse, there being only e25 bales on
hand for this year, while there were over
twice that number received by this time
last year. This is also considered an evil
dence of better times on the part of the
farmers
