Unusual Demonstration Is Seen In the City Court Room When Young White Woman Is Declared

 AS if but one man. the spectators caught up the audible gasp of relief that burst from the young woman, and spontaneous hand-clapping. and a cheer here and there was sounded.
 For once Judge Browns admonitiona were forgotten, and the short demon stration was plainly so involuntary that no effort was made to check 1t.

Her feeble foster-mother, Mrs. Will Hams. who was at her side. gave way to emotion, also, and 1t was necessary to lead her out of the court room.
 There was probably never a verdict rendered in the court room which met with more hearty and general apptov al.
 The jury remained out only abou, four minutes after receiving the charge of the judge.
 The sympathy of the men who crowded the court room came when Mrs. Hearn and her witnesses declared that the dead woman. Nita Patton. had enticed her husband. and that the ami

4 TONIC IS NEEDED THAT WILL
 BUILD UP THE BLOOD.
Thin, Weak Blood During Development May Easily Cause . Life of
 Misery and Suffering.

At no time in her life does a woman stand in greater need of pure red | blood. and the strength which 1t alone can give her, than when she is devel- oping into womanhood. It is then that any inherited tendency to anaem!a, chiorosis, or green sickness, needs only the slightest encouragement to rapid | " develop. This ft too often receives for not all girls can take the proper care of their health but many are con- fined within doors. are overworked. do not have enough nourishing food. and | are depressed by worry and cares. All of these conditions quickly impoverish the blood and are among the most common exciting causes of sickness in | growing girls.
 If at any time during her develop ment a girl finds that her strength is ia ailfng and she is becoming pale and nervous. has no ambition and is lam guid. 1t is a certain sign that her blood is falling to meet the demands made upon 1t, because 1t Is impure and | thin.
 To insure perfect development and health. steps must be taken at once to strengthen the system by building up and purifying the blood. pr. Williams Pink Pills do this SO well and have | cured so many cases of chlorosis and anaemia that they may justly be called specific for these common diseases of girlhood.

My health became worse all of the time.

I could see a quick change for the better and gained rapidly until I was cured. I am strong and healthy and do all of my work. I always have good word to say for pr. Williams Pink Pills"
 Mothers should make certain of their daughters health by beginning the use of pr. Williams Pink Pills at the first signs of impoverished blood. Further information about chiorosis and anae- mia is given in the booklet, Dis cases of the Blood," which Will De sent free upon request.

The men of the local fire department are greatly pleased with the showing the department has made in January and February. The equipment of the fire stations In men, horses. wagons and all station fixtures. except a few thousand feet of defective hose. is the best anywhere. But for the 800 and odd fire plugs that have proven ie- fective. and a pump station whose ability to meet the heavy work of a conflagration. as stated in the last three annual reports of the water de- pertinent. the city would be up-to-date in fire fighting facilities. 1t is said.
 The city council is now negotiating for the installation of new boilers at the pump house. the plugs that are considered defective may be attended to. and 1t seems certain from what the aldermen say that in future there will be no more trouble about fire hose.

The observations of Weather Observer Brislin showed that the high est point reached during the present flood was 52.9 feet
 The fact that the highest stage had been reached in the river and that the waters began to recede this afternoon was welcomed news to the many here who for several days past have been watching the rise of the river It Is believed that by tomorrow morning the waters of the river will begin to recede rapidly and that within the next few days the stream will get within It's banks and that the farm lands which are now inundated will soon dry out and be ready for the planting of the coming crops.

 Touching upon the wok of Chaplain Jones. the order says:

ALABAMA SOIL IS PRAISED None Other So Black and So Rich. DR. CHARLES 0sTES TALKS The Frenchman Says Prohibition
 is Ridiculous. h Stupid And In Fact He Says He Considers It An Attempt Upon
 The Liberty of The 
DR. CHARLES 0sTES TALKS

"No where in my extensive travels have I seen a soil which Is as black and as rich, as that which find here in Alabama. I have heard that there is such a soil in Egypt, but nowhere else have heard of it." With this remark Dr. Charles Oster, Doctor or Law, Master in History, and one or the most distinguished of Parislan political students. began an interview yesterday afternoon.
 Dr. Oster is in America on tour or study of political questions and election laws He has been Tn this country since August. having spent short time here in June. He has traveleo throughout the United States. meeting the prominent men of each section and studying the conditions. He says that he has found the election laws of Wisconsin. Minnesota and Massachu- setts. to be somewhat .n the the ad- vance of the laws of other states.
 The distinguished visitor was par ticularly interested in the prohibition problem of the South. He says that he understood from prominent men. that the laws were made operative to effect the negro. but he says. that he looks upon such legislation as ridicu- lous. in fact as stupid and an attempt upon the liberty of the people. He says he had not yet grasped the idea of the railroad legislation. but he knew that the railroads of the South were far inferior to those of the North and West
 Speaking of the South. Dr. Oster says that he has found the people ex- tremely kind and very obliging. He says that he has visited five Southern states, Virginia. North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama and will probbly leave for Tennessee from Montgomery.
 He first came to America In June to attend the Republican and then the Democratic national conventions. He made reports of his observations to The Paris Eclair. the biggest news paper of France.
 pr. Oster returned to America in August to follow the campaigns He spent most of his time in the doubtful states. Ohio. Indiana and New York. He says that Bryan was the most bril- liant man he had ever heard on the stump and in fact he said that all the Democratic speakers. as whole out class the orator of the Republican party.
 In Governor Hughes of New York and Governor Johnson of Minnesota. Dr. Oster says he found the two pig gest" men In the United States. He says that Hughes stumping of the middle West did much for the Republi- can ticket.
 In reference to Montgomery Dr. Os- ter says that he has taken much inter- est in the state capitol and the rooms In which met the members of the Congress, which decided upon conces- sion. He was interested in the room or Jefferson Davis and his home. which he visited during the day. He also visited the Paterson negro school and was much interested with the condi- tions there. He says that the negro of the South Is far better treated than the negro Of the North and that he thinks the south has mastered the problem.
