Kidney Disease of Long Standing
Well Known Aldbdn1ians
In Birmingham Yesterday
~ WALTER HARPER.

Will G. Porter of Helm spent yester-
day in Birmingham. He came over to
attend to some business matters and to
visit friends and relatives. ls.-4..
MIR. Porter is the cashier of the Bank
of Heflin and is also mayor of the
town. He got his training in a news
paper office, having been for a num-
Der of years editor and proprietor OF
the Heflin New Era.
"Heflin is one of the most prosperous
and busy little towns in east Alabama,
he said. I'VE have about $50 people,
y large percentage of which population
has been gained during the past 10
years.
"A few years ago the cleburne coun-
ty courthouse was moved from Ed
wardsville to Helm and this gave the
town its impetus. We have one of the
best and most substantial court build
Ing in east Alabama.
"Heflin also has its county high
school, which is now in its second term,
The building cost about $4,000. We also
have one of the best city public schools
in the state for town of the same
size. 1t cost 10000"

There will probably never come time
when Gilmer county becomes free of
about the hottest kind of factional poll
ties to be found anywhere in the state
From time immemorial almost. the lines
in Gilmer county have been drawn
tighter than at Donnybrook fair; some
times one faction is in the ascendancy
and sometimes another, but it is always a
case of dog eat dog and devil take the
hindmost.
1t is charged by some that one faction
rs composed chiefly of republicans and the
other of democrats; another allegation Is
that it is just a case of democratic
split However that may be, the split is
always there, and both sides always stand
ready to make the fur fly.
When one of these factions lined up for
Governor Brown the other just as natur-
ally fell in behind Governor-elect Smith
as the .proverbial water rolls off the pro-
verbal ducks back
The vote in Gimer in the recent cleo
ton showed on the face of the returns
633 for Brown and 513 for Smith, a ma
jority of so for the governor
Thereupon cries of fraud were raised
by the faction which showed the smallest
vote, and it was charged that more than
100 persons who were never registered
had been allowed to cast their ballots.
With the unsuccessful faction in Gill
mer, successful in the state, 1t was easy
enough to give the primary vote to Mr..
Smith, and this was done by declaration
OF the state convention and Gilmer's con-
vention votes were placed in the Smith
column
This, however, was an old political
stunt; 1t had been worked time and over
again by both factions.
But the unsuccessful faction in Gill
liner was not satisfied with it's success in
1.-THE state and in the state convention
| it proceeded to bring court accusations
and criminal proceedings against all the
managers and clerks in the other faction

THEY ACTUALLY
DO THE WORK
Food Eaten IL worthless Unless Dr.
gested-Some Stomachs Must Have
Help. ..

: Food taken into the Stomach which,
from the nature of the food or the con-
dition of the stomach. is not digested, is
worse than no food at ALL This is a true
statement as far as 1T goes and a great
many dyspeptics go only this far with
their reasoning. They argue with them
selves that because their stomachs do
not do the work given them, they must
be given less work; In other words,
they must be starved. 1t would be just
as sensible for a business man who is
unable to do all his own work to cut
down his business to his own capacity
it is for a man to starve himself to
relieve his stomach. The sensible bus
mess man employs help and goes for
ward with his business. Likewise
the sensible dyspeptic will employ help
for his stomach and give his body
proper nourishment
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually do
the work assigned to them. They, re-
lieve weak and overburdened stomachs
of a great portion of digestive action.
Their component parts are Identical
with those of the digestive fluids and
secretions of the stomach and they sim
ply take up the grind and carry on
the work just the same as good,
strong. healthy stomach would do 1t.
On this account Stuarts dyspepsia
Tablets are perfectly natural in their
any unnatural or violent disturbance
in the stomach or bowels They them
selves digest the food and. supply the
system with all the nourishment con-
tanned in what is eaten and carry out
Natures plans for the snstenance and
maintenance of the~body. +
How much more sensible is this
method than that employed by many
sufferers from weak stomachs. Bythis
means the body and BRAIN get all the
good, nutritious food they need and
the man is properly nourished and
equipped to carry on his work and per-
form his duties. He could not possibly
be in proper working condition by
starving himself or employing some
new tangled, insufficient food that does
not contain enough nutriment for a
year-old baby. A strong man doing
strong work must be properly fed and
this applies to the brain as well as the
body. et ~
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, by reliev-
ing the stomach of it's work, enable il
to recuperate. and regain its normal
health and strength. Nature repairs
the worn and wasted tissues Just as

out investigation, persons who have
grossly violated the primary election
laws.
The governor, while not attempting
to refute his critics, has given out a
brief statement in which he emphat-
cally contradicts that view, Stain &
that he made careful investigation of
the matter. became convinced that the
prosecutions were purely of a partisan
political nature and, in effect. that they
were without merit. He thereupon par
doned the alleged offenders.
There is nothing else that can be
done at present, of course. But the
two factions Will continue to lie in wait
for each other until another election.
If half of Gilmer county could put
the other half In Jail there is little
doubt but that Jail space would be at
