The COMMITTEE
MADE MISTAKE
MAJOR w. o. BUTLER OF CHIP
LEY CONDEMNS ACTION OF
STATE COMMITTEE IN TRYING
TO KILL OFF PART OF THE PRI-
MARY

Major w. o. Butler, of ChipIey, was
in the city on legal business yester-
day. To Journal representative Ma
jor Butler did not hesitate to express
his condemnation of the action of the
state executive committee in eliminat-
ing circuit Judges and state attorneys
from the primary.
The committee has made a great
mistake said he, and the mistake
will become thoroughly apparent when
the people have an opportunity to be
heard from. The committee had NO
authority whatever for taking those Of
fees out of the primary. If it had
authority to take those out, then it
had authority to take all of the others
out and that would meaR~authority to
abolish the primary. No one will con-
tend that the committee had authority
to abolish the primary and therefore
it had no authority to abolish any part
Of it."
Major Butler returned home yester-
day afternoon.

Acid Dyspepsia
Nervous People Are Frequent Sufferers
From Too Much Hydrochloric
Acid in The Stomach.
A Trial Package of stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets Sent Free,

Sour stomach" or acid dyspepsia is
a form of indigestion in which entire
| ly too much hydrochloric acid IS Sc
creted by the stomach. A sour taste
in the mouth is the most common
symptom of acid dyspepsia; and the
saliva, which is morally alkaline, Is
| found, when tested. TO be changed to
acid, or just the opposite of what l!
should be, and is a state of the secre'
| ton which causes rapid and extensive
destruction of the teeth.
Everything eaten turns more or less
sour in the stomach, but sweets and
acid fruits are far worse in this re-
spect than ether foods. If the eructa.
ton of liquids from the stomach &C.
ours, they have such an extremely
sour taste as to set the teeth on
edge.
Hydrochloric acid is an important
constituent in the gastric juice, but
when too much of it IS secreted, it
does positive harm TO the mucous lin
ing of the stomach; and when acid
dyspepsia is long continued it often
sets up chronic gastrftis, gastric ulcer.
and other serious diseases. The pre-
mature loss of all the teeth has been
caused by acid SALIVA. which was de-
pendent upon the excessively acid
condition of the stomach.
STUART'S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS,
besides furnishing pure, aseptic pepsin
to the stomach to dilute the excess Of
hydrochloric acid, and to digest pro-
teids and albuminous foods very thor
oughly, also contain bismuth subn1-
trate and calcium carbonte, which are
anita gonistic to the acid, and therefore
neutraliZe the effect of the excessive
amount of acid in the stomach, and
the continued use of these tablets will
change the perverted condition of the
secretions TO a normal state.
If you are suffering from hyper
chlor-hydria" as physicians term it,
or in other words, acid dyspepsia, and
experience sour taste in the mouth,
with acid eructations or heartburn, be-
gin at once the use of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, using one or two after
each meal, or as may be required, and
the same quantity at retiring time, for
if this trouble is allowed to run on,
it may cause serious organic changes
in the stomach. There are cases on
record why're the lining of the stom-
ach has been complete eaten away
through perverted action of the secre-
tons.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have
been tried in all forms of Indigestion
and dyspepsia, with unfailing success,
so that no matter which form you may
be suffering from, the quickest way to
bring about a cure is through the use
of these powerful stomach tablets.
Secure from your druggist a fifty
cent box, and get cured of acid dys-
pepsia, or whatever form of iridiges-
ton you may be suffering. Also send
US your name and address for free
sample. Address F. A. Stuart Com

IDLE NEGROES
ARE PUNISHED

Cases were made yesterday in the
city court against J. H. Graham,
Archie Toney, Hannah Thupes and
Mary Lucas, for disorderly conduct
and for lettering around the streets.
Fines of S. and costs were imposed
in the cases and they were paid. The
recorder believes that there is plenty
of work for all able-bodied laborers in
this city, and was also of the belief
that there was no excuse for anyone
to idle his time away about the
streets, hence the fines. The negroes
are all well-known and usually are en-
ployed at good paying positions.
