months to 10 years.
Centralia, Mo-, June Flour
teen homeless children have ended
a l, 500 mile journey in Centralia,
Mo. They came from the Child.
ren's Aid Soriety in New York
City. Though homeless it is
doubtful if fourteen children with
parents and friends ever before
met with such a hearty welcome as
come to these waits and strays
from a great city when they reach
ed Centralia.
A few weeks ago an agent of
the Children's Aid Society visited
Centralia for the purpose of find
ing homes for abandoned chill
dren. Centralia has it's share of
Missouri's big. hearted people and
they readily responded to the ap-
peal. Through the various
churches these citizens of Contra
liza agreed to act as a committee
to place children from the society:
Doctor G. w. Austen, John X.
Wiseman, a. b. Chance, w. o.
Baker, A. g. Rece and w. d.
Hulen.
And so fourteen children, rang.
ing from eleven months to four
teen years, left New York City in
charge of agents of The Children S
Aid Society bound for Centralia.
Hand bills had announced iu
town and country when the little
ones would arrive. and that the
drawing" would take place at
the Opera House. Every seat in
the building was taken.
The children arrived in Contra
liza at 9 o'clock. An hour later
they were standing on the stage
of the Opera House, clean and
neat, with numbers on them from
one to fourteen-and the curtain
went up.
Perhaps not since slavery days
has u similar scene been enacted
in Missouri. Yet homes and hap
pIness and education were to be
the lot of these, not separation and
servitude.
Many applications came for each
of the children for they were a lot
of bright boys and girls. One
hour was given for inspection and
selection, and then the gathering
adjourned until 2 O'Clock to allow
the little ones a chance to rest and
to enable everyone full opportun-
ity for selection.
Following the afternoon display
the committee canvassed the OPP
portunties that might come to the
little ones as between the appli.
cants, and by ballot awarded the
children accordingly as in their
judgment, the best interests Of
the waits lay.
Il don't want to be separated
from my brother" sObbed one lit,
tie boy of ten as the tears rolled
down his cheeks. And so thu
award was changed. The lad wal
given to Mrs. Jessie Campbell and
his l4-year-old brother was takeI
by Mr.. Roberts, brother.in-law t.
Mrs. Campbell. Their farms arr
separated but a few miles aud thu
assurance of a visit with each 9th
err once a week brought happiness
to the brothers, and they wen
their way in gladness.
In the end ten of the children
were placed in good homes. FOul
are retained by the committe,
pending final decision as to tn
best welfare Of the children in tn
choice of homes offered.

Senator Meody WiU Not
 Enter Race For GObernOY
By HERvev w. LAIRD.

Montgomery, January 22.-(Special.)- Frank S. Moody, state senator from Tus- caloosa county, will not enter the race for the democratic nomination for gov- ernor. In telegram to The Age-Herald correspondent, dated at Tuscaloosa Jan uary 22, he says: q do not expect to of fer for the democratic nomination for governor"
 The message was in answer to an in- quiry as to what he expected to do, and would seem to eliminate the Druid City statesman from the running altogether. Some weeks ago the senator stated that he could not see his way clear to make the race, even though he had been urged to do so by men from all sections of the state.
 Senator Moody was one of the most ef- fective workers in the fight against the amendment. His speeches were sent campaign argument. His life has been one of those consistent, conservative ones that make a man the confidant of his neighbors, and the well respected of a whole state.
 It is no secret that a great pressure was brought to bear on him to make the race. However, 1t was given out from the first that he did not intend to offer and his determination not to do so Is no surprise to those who know how he felt about it.

ARE AFTER TIGERS
 IN ALABAMA CITY
EIGHT PERSONS ARRESTED FOR VIOLATING LIQUOR LAWs-ETo- WAH COUNTY EXECUTIVE COM MITTEE MEETS FEBRUARY 5.

Gadsden, January z2.-(Special) )-The police of this city and Alabama City, aided by the sheriff's deputies, made a raid last night at Alabama City that landed eight persons in the bastile for violation of the liquor laws. For some time it has been known that liquor was being sold at Alabama City to the employees of the Southern Iron and Steel company and the officers quietly got their bearings and then proceeded to land tho whole bunch at one haul. The headQuar- ters of the tigers was boarding house run by a Mrs. T. G. Smith. goodly number of bottles containing the con trabrand goods were conf1scated. Those in jail or under bond are: Frank Gen. try, Jim Jones' Henry North. Tom Noble. Mrs. T. G. Smith, R. s. Stinett and Fred Bennett.
 Mayor w. T. Murphree. chairman of the democratic executive committee of this county, today issued a call for a meeting of the committee on Saturday. February D. The committee is called to meet in the courthouse in this city. While there is variety of matters to be con sidered at the meeting the one interesting thing Is the deciding on a date for the primary With the meeting of the com mittee at hand 1t is anticipated that a number of new announcements will be made by those aspiring to serve the pub lie in order that they may have voice in the selection of the time of holding the primary. It is highly probable that the two elections will be asked for in order that there may be . full realization of majority rule.
 A new law firm in the city is that of

judge, will not remain in the lists. Just what the new men who come on will do is more or less of a guess just now In the Third it is possible for two early primary men to go on, and these two, with the committee close, might change the day. It is also not certain that one or two others of the same general ideas might not get on. It is believed. however that the committee is tending toward a late primary and there is going to be some close work to get 1t out of this trend.
 Governor Corners Attitude.
 It is not at all certain that Governor Conner will be here for the meeting, and his friends say that he Is not going to keep hands off However, his friends will be on hand in a majority of the committee as it now stands, and may undertake to do what they know to be his will. He has been in Washington this week and was due to go from there to New York to pay a visit to the financial agents of the state. It may take him to Tuesday morning to make 1t back to the capital. In which case 1t will be all over and what Is to be done accomplished Men close to him say that he Is not go- ing to run on any senator-in-waiting race; that he is against such plan and will let it be known, as he has on many occasions that he regards the plans along this line of the last committee an un- warranted usurpation of power.

says the former chief justice is going to run the race for nomination for governor to the end. With the disastrous down. fall of the amendment proposition it was thought that the prospect for the nomina- tion of the judge had gone glimmering, but so far as can be discovered he takes & different view of the result, and is yet confident that he can make the race with fair show to win.
 Judge Weakley takes it, one hears, that he is part of the prohibition laws In a way, having been their author for the most part, and he feels that he is ob- ligated to stay by them as long as there is need for him. The judge Is reputed to pass over the idea that his political lot being cast in large measure with the amendment he is like 1t, of the past, and to hold to the belief that it is a part of his duty to further impress the prohibi- ton laws on the policy of the state.
 It Is not expected that Judge Weakley will be here for the meeting of the execu- tive committee on Monday, being tied up with the rate cases now on in Louis vile. He announced shortly after the close of the August session of the legis- lature, as result of a meeting of the friends of the administration, who felt that he ought to make the race.
 Candidates Coming Out.
 Frank N. Julian, secretary of state, Is expected to announce for the position of associate railroad commissioner early next week and S. P. Kennedy, secretary of the commission, is likely to be out at about the same time. In fact, the inn pression Is that almost all who have any idea of running will let it be known definitely by or before next Saturday night. There are great many who are known to be running but have not made formal announcement, having held off until the meeting of the committee so that they would know what was in the wind.
 Nothing has been heard from R. E. Spragins, who was played all the week as a probability In the race for governor A friend of the lawyer banker, who had seen him since he was here q few days ago, said that he was not going to offer, and would say so soon. wire was sent him today asking if he had made up his mind, but no reply was received In the meantime the friends of the other candi- dates are getting busy to keep everything moving in just the right way to benefit the man each man wants benefited

Montgomery. January 22.-(Special.)- Promise is bright for a number of changes in the personnel of the state committee of the state democracy when it convenes in this city Monday Frank s. White, chairman is pretty certain to resign. The same thing will no doubt be so of W. c. Davis of Walker, from the state at large, who Is running against Hobson for Congress Death of N. B. Powell has already brought about va- cancy in the Third district quartet, and the candidacy of H. B. Steagall, anoth- CT member, to succeed himself as solici- tor, will no doubt cause his retirement from the committee. J. B. Foy of Eu- faula, from the state at large, and W. l.. Lee of Columbia, and N P. Renfro of Opelika will be left, therefore, accord ing to custom to name two men in the district. Foy and Lee are said to favor an early primary.
 Others Seek Office.
 G. S. Livingston of Prattville is seek ing reelection as probate judge. and will likely resign. M. T. Ormond Is out for judge in Tuscaloosa county, which may eliminate him; H. H. White of Centre has resigned R. A. Mitchell of Gadsden is being groomed for lieutenant governor and may get out, while John l.. Hughs- ton of Lauderdale. running for probate

Systemic catarrn.

Mrs. Augusta Pauline Ocns, R. F. D. 3, North English, Iowa, writes: 'T took Peruna over three years. I suffered from systemic catarrh and had pains in my right side so l could hardly do my housework.
 q am 66 years old, and am now doing all my houseworlz. I am in the best of health, and cannot thank Dr. Hartman enough for his advice and medicine"
 A Family Medicine.
 A family, or domestic, medicine is a medicine compounded in such a way that people who know little or nothing of drugs can use it without the advice of physician
 There is nothing to prevent compe- tent physicians from uniting and agree ing as to what compounds best meet the general necessities, and supply them, with proper directions for use, saving not only the expense, but an noyance, of a separate visit from a physician for every little i'll for which few doses of medicine are useful.
 We do not recommend Peruna as a cure-all. We do. however, believe that 1t is very useful remedy for catarrh in all forms and phases. We do not ask the public to believe our statements unless backed up by evidence from those who have used it.

 q followed your directions, and in a very short time I began to improve. took one bottle and am now taking my second.

A number have paid the latter amount, thus qualifying themselves to vote for the first time since the present election law went into force in 1901 Though the nine busiest cays yet remain the number of poll tax receipts issues is largely in excess of the total number issued last year.
