Decatur, January 14-(Special,)-A pie ture of President-elect William H. Taft was hissed here at the Lyceum theatre last night by large crowd of negroes who occupied the gallery of the theatre. The show was Buster Brown and pie lures of a number of noted men were thrown on the canvas to Illustrate song with a number of chorus girls on the stage.

Laughter, Digestion
 And Health

An eminent Russian physician has stat ed his opinion that laughter is one of the best means known to science for the cor rection of Dyspepsia, stomach and nerv- ous diseases.
 Laughter, however, in a dyspeptic is like the memory of running brooks and shady glens to the furnishing and dying man lost in the desert.
 If one could but know all the causes. reasons and origins of Dyspepsia, one would not wonder at a helf-heartedness of a dyspeptics gayety.
 There is a ceaseess call for appetite. food and enjoyment to dyspeptic. coupled with morose, moody belief and knowledge that such call is mockery and if indulged in will bring discomfort, pain and regret.
 Perhaps if it were understood that the digestive system, including mouth, throat and alimentary canal embracing as 1t does the stomach, is composed of mem braneous tissue filled with millions of small nerves, which control added mil lions of little mouths or suckers. Per haps If this were known men could more comprehensibly understand that to disar- range such system would mean indeed intense physical pain.
 Now suppose that this alimentary ca nal is a mass of worn-out, debilitated
 
 ciating physical pain and discomfort, and suppose such a canal filled with the fumes and foul odors and decayed food from the last meal, and one has slight idea as to the lack of laughter in a dyspeptic Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets composed of the highest digestive ingredents--one grain of single ingredient being capable of disesting 3000 grains of food-relieves the alimentary canal of it's onerous duties, assists it along its entire length (30 feeD to perform its routine, imparts strength and buoyancy to the stomach and gives back to the blood strong, healthy nour- ishment
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are natural adjuncts to digestion. They do not false l ly stimulate an already weakened ma 1 chine, but build up where building is needed and remove where removal is necessary.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have nothing to conceal. Here is what they are made | of: Hydrastis, golden seal, lactose and aseptic pepsin. Forty thousand physi- clans in America and Canada use and prescribe them. They should be used af- ter every hearty meal whether one Is a dyspeptic or not.

Talladega. January 14-(special.) )-For very long time the so-called fine and forfeiture fund of Talladega county was greatly in debt, and claims on that fund were worth not more than 10 cents on the dollar This was a great hardship on witnesses summoned for the state, who were paid off by orders on this fund. Sometimes a witness journeyed 20 miles or more and spent several days awaiting the trial, paying hotel bills out of his pocket, and at the conclusion of the case he received a claim that was worth 50 cents. Another phase of the insolvency of the fine and forfeiture fund was that a criminal frequently was fined $1O0, for illustration, and he straightway bought up 800 worth of orders, or certificates of this fund.- and paid the fine with $10 cash. This county secured legislation on this subject and the probate judge wisely hired the county convicts some years since for a reasonable sum, so that the convicts alone by their hire contribute 5000 per quarter to this fund. The result Is that the witness ticket and the claims on the fine and forfeiture fund of Talladega county cannot be bought for less than 100 cents on the dollar. The fine and for feiture fund is out of debt and has money in the bank.
