Latady's Announcement
 To the People

To the Voters of Jefferson County:
 At the instance of Gen. H. W. Fucker, Prof. M. V. Henry, Capt. J. W. Bush and Messrs. w.. B. Copeland, E. l.. Brown. T, B. Perry W. c. Agee, s. P. Fowlkes, Joseph P. Lee, W. N Malone, A. c. OK ford. Thomas Morefeld, F. B. Fowlkes, B. Perry, w. c. Agee, s. P. Fowlkes, and Dr. c. B. Crowe constituting DOT ton of his campaign committee, l have been designated to direct Captain Reid s campaign in his candidacy for the office of sheriff of Jefferson county, Alabama; but I can very truthfully say my appre- citation of the entire fitness of Captain Reid to fill the office to which he as- pires has more to do with the enlistment of my interest than has my appreciation of the honor conferred by these gentle men, and I say this without fear of of fense to any of them. for their estima- ton of the worth of Captain Reid cannot be below my own.
 feel perfectly assured of the assur- ance now give that Captain Reid means all he has heretofore said in his announce ments of his candidacy, and that he will live up to the letter of the assurances he has himself given to the public therein.
 He proclaims that he Is opposed to the fee system now in vogue for the payment of ministerial, fiscal and executive of f1cers, and that he will cooperate in any movement looking to the abolition of this demoralizing system.
 Captain Reid means exactly what he says, and if elected to the office of sheriff of Jefferson county there will be one sheriff in Alabama who, if represented at the legislature when a movement comes on for consideration looking to a reform in the method of paying such officers. will be represented by an advocate of the abolition of this iniquitous system.
 Captain Reid's nature would rebel against many usages born of this miser- able fee system. the emoluments arising from which have given birth to the great est confusion regarding the offices and functions of a sheriff. He will, I can give every assurance. adhere to the obli- cations of a sheriff, and will conceive 1t of greater honor to do so than to be busy in everything. confusing his duties as a state executive office with that of a grand inquisitor of the county, and chief interpreter of the constitution and laws of the state. Process delivered to his of- flee will be preferred to all processes ex mero motu through which the emoluments of his office may be increased. and alto- gether no man need look for partiality, no man need fear oppression.
 Captain Reid has been . resident of Jeff ferson county for 24 years and has large circle of friends and acquaintances, some 100 of whom have underwrtten his can didacy. and upon every one of whom I can count for the fullest indorsement of all have herein said of him.
 Captain Reid will make an ideal sheriff, and bespeak for him the most serious consideration of all who have at heart reformation in the sheriff's office.

1900 PAY POLL
 TAX IN MORGAN

Decatur, February 1.-(Special. )-Today was the last day on which poll taxes could be paid under the law for the year 1909 to entitle a man to vote in cleo tions held this year. The records in the office of County Tax Collector George c. Hardwiok show that about 400 more polls have been paid for the year 1909 than have ever been paid before. The usual number paid Is about 1400 For the past year about 1900 have been paid Besides the polls for the past year, about 400 back polls have been paid. This means that Morgan county will cast a larger vote on May in the democratic pri- mary election than has been cast in this county in many years.
 The cause of so many polls being paid Is due to the fact that many men of the county were disfranchised at the election recently held to vote on the amendment to the state constitution to say whether or not Alabama should have constitutional prohibition. This election was called on short notice and many men, thinking there would be no election held last year, failed to pcy their poll tax. Had this poll tax been paid the pro- hibition amendment would have been defeated in this county by much larger majority than it was defeated

Work Hours are Exteuded.

Decatur. February 1.-(special) )--Ac- cording to notice every department in the Louisville and Nashville railroad shops in New Decatur commenced this morning to work 10 hours day and six days a week. This will add largely to the month- ly pay roll of these shops and will mean much to the business houses of the two Decaturs that have been selling these men goods. It will add several thousand dollars monthly to the pay of the 200 men who are employed in the shops. For a number of months past many of tho departments in these shops have been working but nine hours day and from four to i've days 6 week. With many of the men it has been a struggle to live on the time they have been getting in at the shops, and with the present high prices of meats and other necessities of life. Now that they are working on full time tho men will fare much better. The increase of time in the shops reminds one of the good old times in the Decaturs before the recent panic commenced.

Give Your Stomach
 A Vacation
Fly Using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Which Digest Food Without
 Any Aid.
A Trial Package Sent Free.

The stomach should have a rest when it is tired out and irritated from dys- pepsia and indigestion. One should not call upon the stomach in this condition to do its full and complete duty. What the stomach needs is natural assistance and when this is given it the stomach responds quickly to the needed rest and comes back to it's duties refreshed and invigorated.
 When you feel as though your stom- ach were a piece of lead, when gases or foul odor issue from your throat, when your tongue is coated and your appetite gone, it is high time to send your stomach on vacation.
 The stomach Is constantly coming in contact with foreign substances, which it must reduce in form to give strength and health to the other organs of the body. It is the commissary department of the human system and must furnish from such supplies as come to it all that such a system demands.
 If the stomach becomes deranCed and cannot furnish all that is neces- sary. 1t weakens the entire machinery of man and is itself placed out of commission. It cannot cure itself be- cause the curative powers of Nature receive their force from the stomach, so that if the stomach issues imperfect
 
 curative means for its own benefit.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets impart all the power, vigor and strength neces- sary to the stomach. They do the stomach's work and without calling on this organ for assistance.
 If you would put your meal in glass jar and with 1t place the correct amount of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets you could sit down and watch these little tablets digest the meal as per fectly as the most healthy stomach. This demonstration has been made in almost every state in the union by these tablets, one grain of single ingredient being capable of digesting 5000 grains of food.
 If you have the slightest doubt about your stomach, go to the nearest drug store and buy a box of Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets price 5oc, or send us your name and address and we will inn mediately send you by mall a trial pack age free. Address F. A. Stuart Co.,, 1SC stusrt Bidg.. Marshall. Mich.

Tennessee River in Fine Shape.

Decatur. February l-(Special. .)-SteAm- boat traffic on the Tennessee river is better than it has been for some time owing to the excellent state of the water now. Up until this time the Tennessee has been very low all winter on account of the absence of rains. There has been less rain in this section of country this winter than there has been for many months past. Many of the merchants of the Decaturs are taking advantage of the river freight rates and say they can save a considerable amount of money by hav- ing their goods shipped by river from those points where the river can bs reached.

a wife of veteran of the war of 1872 Is stil alive, yet 1t is true and even at this late day is liable to secure her pension. The records in the offices at Washington will be all that will be against her as the records there show that her husband died in 1915 and again that he died in 1847 and while these are mistaken dates 1t may keep her out of her pension.
 The governor has appointed B. L.. Young, a leading farmer of beat 1 in this county as jury commissioner to take the place of E. A. Coley, who has re- signed. The commission met here yes terday and elected R. l.. Wilson pres ident, and will immediately take up their work.

MRS. d. ]. JONES,
$500 Broadway, Cleveland, O.
Much sickness is of nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di-
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
If any of these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. DR.. Miles Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. 1t
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation of nerve force.
Therefore you can hardly miss
it if you take DR.. Miles Nervine
when sick. Get bottle from
your druggist. Take it all &C
cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return
