AMENDMENT OUTLOOK.
Senator Hayes Claims Limestone for
Amendment.

Decatur, October 5.-(Special.)-
State Senator Hayes of Limestone
county was in Decatur yesterday and
in an interview with your correspond
ent stated that Limestone county would
give at least 500 majority for the pro-
hibition amendment to the state con-
stitution. He says that the greater
majority of the prohibitionists favor
the amendment and that the prohibit
tionists in his county are in the ma
jority.
Other citizens of Limestone county,
however, differ with Senator Hayes in
his views on the amendment. Some of
them say that Limestone is doubtful,
while others are of the opinion tn at
the anti-amenders will carry that
county by a safe majority.
The anti-amenders are now claiming
Decatur New Decatur and nearly ali
the other precincts in Morgan county.
The amenders are also claiming this
county by majorities from 200 on up.
The ants claim the county by from
400 UP.

Sick Headache
And Indigestion
The Former Is Very Frequently
Caused BY the Other.

The pneumo-gastric nerve connects the
stomach region directly with the brain,
and when the stomach Is out of order the
head is almost certain to be affected
through reflex or sympathetic nervous ir-
ritation.
The headache of dyspepsia and indiges-
ton is of every variety from the dullest
and least defined to the most acute pain.
Sometimes the whole mass of the brain
seems racked with anguish; at others, the
ache is confined to the back or front part
of the head. The first form is usually
of a confused character, and Is often ac-
companied by dirnness of vision, and a
mild vertigo, or so-called rush of blood
TO the head" The victims of this symptom
complain of a swimming or Brightness"
in the head, and dizziness or a sensa-
ton of motion while the body is still, and
specks, or flashes of light before the
eyes.
Persons subject to Indigestion and other
forms of stomach trouble are very fire.
ouent sufferers from headache, and in
numerous cases a sick headache is the
only noticeable symptom of Indigestion
present. in others, there are stomach man
ifestations as well.
The majority of people regard this head
ache as a separate disease, instead OF a
symptom of stomach-disease, which 1T
usually is; and they attempt to treat 1t
separately, and make the mistake Of en-
of headache powders, tablets, pills and
settlers. the use of which Is extremely
dangerous as many of them contain such
powerful depression drugs as acetan1lld,
phenacetine, antipyrine, caffeine, etc.,
which depress the heart, brain and nerve
centers, and lower arterial pressure; and
many person with a weak heart has
become dangerously Ill shortly after taxi
ing one of these headache remedies. They
also interfere with the digestion pro-
cesses, and actually make the dyspepsia
worse than before.
In order to get rid of the headache of
indigestion-and most headaches are
caused by stomach trouble-one should
endeavor to reach and remove the cause,
and the headache effect will soon be re-
lieved.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not cure
the symptoms; they cure the cause of the
headache, which permanently removes the
avmptoms They digest every atom or
GOOD in the stomach, cure all forms Of
stomach trouble, and the headache, and
every other disagreeable symptom and
,,ntoward effect is quickly gotten rid OF.
DON'T make the mistake OF trying to
cure your dyspeptic or nervous head
ache through the use or neadacne pow
,srs tablets, etc. Use common sense,
100 judgement. and one or two of Stuart's
Dvspepsia Tablets, and you will be agree
ebiv surprised at the rapidty with which
tha headache will be relieved and cured
simultaneously with the relief and cure
of the stomach disturbance.

SPRAGlNS PLEASED.
Defenders Will Strengthen Plans for
Work in Madison.

Huntsville October 5.-(Special.) Sen
ator Robert e. Spragins, who was one
of the speakers at the great rally of the
defenders of the constitution in Birming-
ham on Saturday night has returned to
the city He was much pleased by the
enthusiasm shown at the meeting and the
trip to Birmingham strengthened his con-
fdence in the defeat of the proposed pro-
hibition amendment
The Birmingham rally has caused more
than usual activity among the defenders
in this county, who had become rather in
clined to rest on the certainty of carrying
this county against the amendment. They
have set to work in a scattered way, but
have called a meeting for next Satur-
day at which time plans for concerted eff
fort will be mapped out for the campaign.
Not before the middle of the month will
it be possible to start the fight in earnest
because the fair will take up all of next
week and holding public meetings at any
point during that week would be waste
of effort

WATSON AT ATHENS.
Talks to Crowd on Amendment on
Courthouse Square.

Athens. October 5.-(Special.-The po-
ltical fight on the amendment to the con-
stitution was opened here today by the
Rev. Ed WATSON, pastor of the Meth
odist church at Huntsville, who gathered
a small crowd at the steps of the court
house and spoke to them as long as they
would listen. He was very bitter in his
arraignment of the men who opposed his
theory of government, by force, and made
some very broad assertions.
While he had a small crowd or men
from the various sections of the county
who had been brought to town to do
fury duty, yet the major part of his au-
dience was composed of women and girls,
the latter being seated about the yard on
the grass.
The speaker made but little impression
and when asked a few apartment ques-
tions refused to answer. The sentiment In
this country is very strong against the
amendment Your representative inter-
viewed more than 20 leading men from the
various sections of the county and al
most invariably they replied: 1.-The peo-
pie of my section are against the amend
ment" and some few said there ARE a
few favorable to the amendment but
as a whole they reported the county
overwhelmingly against the amendment.
One strong Conner man said: Il have
followed Conner to the last ditch, but am
done now" A well-managed fight here
will bring the majority three to l against
the amendment.

OWENS DEPARTMENT
RENDERS SERVICE
Gives Information About Slave
Who Bid Service In War
The PURE FOOD LAWS
Pearl Palmer of Clayton Gets Quick
Action Pardon from Governor
Conner Jury Commissioners
for Dallas County.

Montgomery October 5.-(Special.)-
The effectiveness of the services rem
dered by the state department of arch
ives and history is well illustrated by
the answer which DR.. Thomas NJ.
owen, the director, was able to give to
an inquiry about Hardy Herndon, an
old negro from Blount county. Hern-
don, who was conscripted for labor in
the army of the south, desires to get a
pension, holding to the belief that he
had served in such nature as to bring
him within the lists.
Knowing that no negroes were en-
listed by the southern armies DR.. owen
looked up, among some records secured
from the office of the state auditor, a
number of pay rolls for service of ne
groes and others during the war. 1t
was found that Herndon, a slave of the
Herndon family in Greene county, had
labored at Oven Bluff from January
to March 2, 1853, for which his owners
were paid. While 1t is not at all likely
that the negro will get the pension it
many questions may be answered by
this department.
Pure Food and Feed Laws.
J. A. Wilkinson, commissioner of ag
riculture, is comforting with A. M. Gar
Der, attorney general, on the best plans
for putting the pure food and pure feed
laws of the recent extra session into
effect. The pure food law is fashioned
after the national law in the main,
but was so badly cut up by the senate
that it Will be difficult of execution.
The pure food for stock act requires
a tax of 1 cent a hundred pounds on
all mixed feeds, with analysis. and all
brands must be registered by the first
of the new year.
Work at University.
Work is now about to begin on the
handsome academic building at the
university, which is to be completed by
the middle of August next. B. c. By
mum, the contractor, who has been at
the capitol to see Gov. B. B. Conner and
to confer with the architect, Frank
Lockwood, says things are moving
along all right. Conner hall, Smith
hall and Woods hall are already in fine
shape The total cost of the work will
run over $4UU,OUG.
Pardoned Quick.
Gov B. B. Conner presented an ex-
ample of quick work in pardon case
today. @. w. Andrews of Clayton came
in with an appeal for Pearl Palmer,
serving 10 months for betrayal of a
woman. Wise ones on the outside told
him he was on a cold trail. But with
in 15 minutes after he got to the execu-
tive the papers were made out for a
pardon and by the time lunch was
eaten the man had been notified that
he could go back home.
Merritt Had 1t Easy.
Henry p Merritt, senator from Macon
county, and a leader of the Conner
forces, made amendment speeches at
Geneva and Dothan yesterday. He had
no company either way, and was able,
he said, to talk as long as he pleased.
Mr.. Merritt thinks Geneva will be safe
for the amendment and possibly Hous-
ton.
