A DEMOCRATIC VICTORY

The Republican party from national standpoint
met the most disastrous defeat that has taken it
since 1892 and Republicans are not very much
sorry about it. Republican leaders had become drunk
from continued success and had egslated and unleg
isated in the interest of few to such extent that
the people rose in open rebellion and for while at
least turned the rascas out. Senator Jones of Wash
ineton attributes the defeat to radcasm within the
party which to extent is true hut the of the
case of radcasm that is responsible for the outbreak
was the thousand and legislative abuses that the
Republican leaders in both houses of Congress as we'll
as in many of The state legislatures had permitted to
90 through. What did Cannon Aldrich care for
the interest of the poor man? So far the laws of
in the same light as did Dred Scott when Judge Taw-
ney declared the Negro has rights that the white
man is bound to respect" And also with the poor
man. he had no rights that the Republican leaders in
Congress ever thought of respecting We, however,
do not look for relief on account of Democratic success
but we do believe that Democratic success will bring
the Republicans to their senses and leaders with
new ideas will forge to the front. Theodore Roose-
welt knew that there something rotten iii Repub
ican circles and he made desperate effort to stragh
ten things out, but his methods too strenuous,
and instead of helping he hurt The men who make
up the leadership of the Democratic party for the most
part are not only and bggoted but intcerant,
and if they do as they have in the past, when they
were victorious they will not survive their two year
term; but they have given the Republicans severe
ioting and it is hoped that the latter in the past
will profit by the experience.

MEXICO ANTI-UNITED STATES

Last Tuesday saw wild mob surging and swaying
through the streets of the City of Mexico seeking
Americans and the property of Americans, to do the
former bodily harm and to destroy the latter. An
American flag flying in front of candy store was not
only torn down but trampled upon the ground.
spat upon and then torn into shreds The police made
some feeble efforts to quel the roters but did in
way that only encouraged them to go on Those
Americans that did not seek some safe retreat were
roughly, and in many instances badly handled On
the whole if the associated press reports are to be be-
eved the insult offered to the United States govern
ment was sufficient to justify the government
officials to begin to mobilize troops on the Mexi-
can frontiers at once to be ready to march against
the Mexican outposts at the first tap of the
drum unless the Mexican officials make the proper
apology and reemburse those Americans for the goods
wares and personal injuries they sustained during the
progress of the riot. Hon. Henry Lane Wilson, whose
portrait appears in another column hereof is Ambas

BURNED A MEXICAN AT THE STAKE

To be sure there's cause for the actions of that MeX
can mob and the cause s the burning at the stake of
a Mexican citizen down in Texas, November 3rd, on
the part of the white citizens of that state. The
Americans on account of their refined, cultured and
efete accomplishments have selected the punishment
of burning at the stake persons, who do things con-
trary to their code of ethics and especially if the Of
Tending person be of dark skin, which to others is
bit inhuman. That kind of punishment was all right
as long as it was confined to burning American
Negroes at the stake but it different story
when Mexican subject similarly punished, and
while the Mexcans did not try to make any demon
stration against those who did the dirty deed they
did remember that retaliation had always in the past
proved be of the most effective panaceas for re-
calctrant opponents to law and decency, and they
thel efore made demonstration against the Amer
cans living among them as a retaliation. Before
Uncle Sam makes any great demands on Mexico for
those insults of the mob he should voluntarily apollo
gize to the Mexican government for the burning OF
one of her citizens at the stake by the Texas barbara
ans and pay a heavy indemnity for the In their
rage the Mexicans styled the Americans the giants
of the dollar pigmies of culture barbarious whites
of the North" with conclusion Where is the boast
ed Yankee civilization" When the cool and calcula-
ting American stops and thinks for minute, it is
more than probable that he, too will conclude, the
civilization of which the United States makes such
boasts is but hollow pretext and guarantees
protection in the country unless such person is backed
by government that will plunge the United States
into immediate ar and cause them to spend few of
the almighty dollars that have been made the god of
the land unless proper redress is made. And viewing
it from that standpoint che question u.s. Are the Amer
cans an aggregation Of towards and buffers?

sador to Mexico and during the time of the riot he
made vigorous protest and demanded protection for
the Americans and repeatedly wired to Washington
City for further instructions. The Mexican govern
ment or at least great maj orty of the Mexlcans
have been hostely inclined against the Americans for
some time and the post has proved unusually trying to

Doctors Going to Work.

Dr. H. P. Perry of Greensboro, the Ala bama vice president of the Southern health conference just organized at Att lanta, spent a part of a day in Mont gomery on his way home, and stated that the state will be fully organized to carry out the work in hand. There will be 10 districts and over each will be a coun- sellor and the whole plan will be subordi- nate to and in cooperation with the state department of health. His idea is to five aid to the fight on tuberculosis, ty- phoid and hookworm and to interest the press, the teachers and the preachers in wholesome publicity. The people will be aided in helping themselves along pre- ventive lines, and in this way the hope is to get a condition of life that will mean much to the future of the state. Dr. Perry is an Auburn man.

DIR. KNAPP SPEAKS
 AT HUNTSVILLE

Huntsville January M.-(Special. )-One of the largest audiences that ever att tended lecture on an agricultural sub ject in this city today heard Dr. Sea- man A. Knapp of the department of agri- culture at Washington lecture on Some Farm Problems in North Alabama Dr. Knapp painted the future of the farmer of the south in bright colors and then devoting himself to practical argument showed them in dollars and cents as compared with the labor required just what can be done by them.
 Dr. Knapp said that the agricultural department had found that in order to interest the farmer the demonstration work had to be done within the envir- onment of those who were intended to be benefited, hence the small experi- ment farms that are being operated. These farms have induced rivalry among the farmers and many of them are try ing to beat the government at it's own work.
 Dr. Knapp said there is a change of sentiment coming in the south to things agricultural from things political. Tn Alabama" he said, you have land that could produce more than the lands of the north. It is possible to grow more corn In Alabama than in the corn states of Illinois and Iowa. The record of the world in corn growing came from the southern states" He said that the boys who entered the corn contests of the agricultural department made an aver age of more than 60 bushels to the acre.
 pr. Knapp said that too much atten- tion had been devoted to the aesthetical in the education of the boys and girls and not enough to the practical. Very little had been done to enable them to rise above the '.toiling masses" Speak ing of the cotton farmers, Dr. Knapp told them that they are not growing enough cotton to the acre and he showed that if every seed planted on every arce were perfect and all other conditions in accord, the yield would be four bales to the acre.
 He urged the farmers to diversity their crops, raise cattle, hogs and poultry. The largest profits come from the small ami mals he said and ten times as much profit can be made out of poultry on the same area required for the support of one steer. High prices of farm pro- ducts have resulted from the worlds de- mand for more to eat and the higher civilization offers the farmer his oppor- tunity to improve himself.

Decatur. January 1O.-(Special. .)-With Clint and Delza Lang, two brothers, in a yawl and officers from Morgan and Jackson county and citizens from the surrounding country in skiffs. gasoline launches and boats of various kinds, lively chase is being indulged in on the Tennessee river today. If the Lang brothers are captured 1t Is feared that the officers in the chase will be unable to save their necks from the hands or the infuriated posses of citizens, who have sworn vengeance against the Langs and say they will swing them to the first tree if they are caught. It is a question of the officers and the citizens posse catching the Langs and when tnis is done then comes the question Of who wlli get possession of the Langs, the officers or the posse. It is a matter Of who captures the Langs first as to whether they will be given trial by Jaw or whether they will be hanged to the first tree where they are captured
 The crime which the Lang brothers are said to have committed yesterday near Nalhermoosa Springs, this county. is one
  committed in this county. Through the pretense of love 18-year-old orphan girl was assaulted by the two brothers and today she is reported as being in seri- ous condition with but little chance of her recovery.
 It is said that Clint Lang has been paying attnetion to the girl for some months past and that yesterday on the pretense of making love to her unnter- rupted he induced her to go to lone- ly spot in the woods with him close by her simple country home near Val hermoosa Springs. The child. believing his motive pure one, went with him. In the deep recesses of the lonely woods the girl and Clint Lang were met by Cints brother, Delza Lang. and, ac- cording to the child's story, the two brothers overpowered her and succeed ed in accomplishing their purpose, which fin all probability will lead to the child s death.
 The two Langs are well known young farmers of the vallhermoosa Springs neighborhood. It is said that they have always been wild and reckless, but that they came from a good family. The young girls parents died some years ago and since that time she has been under the care of a guardian. If is said that Ehe comes from good family, but that she is an uneducated country girl
 It was near this same place that few months ago Tom Edmondson and family were murdered and their bodies cremated in the flames that destroyed their home and barn and outbuildings, and for this crime Bob Clements stands convicted today with a long term of years in the penitentiary staring him in the face. He is still in the county jail here awaiting the action of the higher

If there should be- blocking of tracks between Birmingham and Opelika all is fixed so the train could be brought in here over the Louisville and Nashville, sent over the Western of Ala bama to Opelika, there catching the reg ular route south to Florida, with little loss of time.

The American Excess
 Of Good Living
The Principal Cause of the Great Prev aIence of Indigestion and Dyspepsia.
"A Trial Package of stuart's Dyspepsia
 Tablets Sent Free.

Man inhabits every part of the globe where external influences can be suc- cessfully resisted. Food Is an impor- tant element in effecting this, and nature has provided for it accordingly. The colder the climate the more animal food and oily substances are required: the warmer. preponderance of vegetables and fruits is necessary in one's diet.
 The whale blubber of the fur-clad Eskimo, and the rice of the nude African, are as much necessities of To- cality, as matters of choice. The same indications exist in civilization. Thus, the diet in America and England is es- Rentially different from that in Italy, Spain and Egypt.
 The effects of universal communication are nowhere more obvious than on the luxurious table. To furnish the refined cuisine, all climates, both sea and land are laid under contribution, and the stomach is expected to digest, without as- Distance, everything that is put into 1t. Combining together such varied products, and the neglect of the relation between climate and foods, are very active causes of dyspepsia.
 The heavy substantial dishes of this climate accord badly with the ther- mometer at 90 degrees; and an infiexibili- tv in regulating the kind and quantity of food is cause of large proportion of
 
 among the English and Americans.
 Thousands of people who have suffered from stomach troubles. and a general ill- health resulting therefrom, because of a badly regulated diet, and the ingesting of an excessive amount of food at the table. have obtained speedy and perma- nent relief by means of simple expedi- ent--that of using one or two of STUARTS DYSPEPSIA TABLETS after each meal. or whenever any of the we'll known symptoms of indigestion are pres- ent.
 These powerful digestive tablets con- tain every elemen. that exists in the stomach to digest the food, and in the exact proportion as found therein. They take the place of the natural digestive Juices when the latter are deficient in quality or quantity, and do their work for them. removing the indigestion by dl- gesting the food, and resting strength ening and purifying the digestive tract.
 There is no other digestive remedy on the market which has been found equal to Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets; none which is so rapidly and powerfully efficient, or which removes discomfort, banishes stom- ach pain, and relieves and cures all of the symptoms of dyspepsia and indi- gestion in so thorough and pleasant a manner as these marvellous little tab lets. single grain of which is capable of digesting 3Coo grains of any and every kind of food.
 All persons who are annoyed with stom- ach troubles of any kind should use stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which will re- move such troubles in very short time. Purchase box from your druggist, and pend us name and address for free sample Address F. A. Stuart Co.,, 150 Stuart Building. Marshall, Mich.
