and 133 for Judge Shepherd, to 1S1 for Mr Sartain and 139 for Judge Shepherd.
 From Beat 23: From 45 for Mir. Sartain and 2S for Judge Shepherd, to 40 for MT. Sartain and 2S for Judge Shepherd.
 The contestant then introduced the poll lists taken from the returns of the cleo ton, the registration books and the paid poll tax books, for the purpose of show ing who were not legal voters.
 The court announced that 1t would pro- ceed along the line that a man was prima facie an illegal voter when the books above introduced did not show him to be legal in every respect. but that each party would have the right to introduce evi- dence to rebut this presumption and show the legality of the ballot. The court further announced that it would go az far as possible consistent with the law to give the voter his franchise, and that the question of illegal votes would be immediately taken up.
 As the contestant has challenged some 1250 voters and the contestee HAS, and 1t is claimed that these are she wn by the records not to be legal voters. it is evil dent that the time to be taken up in rebutting the presumption of prima facic illegality will consume several weeks, 1t being predicted by those who should be . thoroughly conversant with the case that it will drag out until late in December.
 It Is not thought that the number Of Illegal voters finally shown will be more than 300 to 700, and as each man will have to stand the loss of every illegal voter who voted for him, the result of the suit cannot possibly be foretold, as Judge Shepherds majority on the face of the returns was only 26 votes and Mir Sartain only claims to have been elected by 13 majority.
 Much interest is being manifested In the trial of the case, and every point is being bitterly contested by both parties to the suit.
 The attorneys representing the contest ant are R. A. Coover and w. c. Davis of Jasper and O. D. Street of Gunters- vile, and Messrs. Bankhead & Bankhead and IE R Lacy for the conteStee.

 | Most people eat most foods without | discrmination-it matters little what. | Few stop to think what that food does | for them. This is the first turn on the road to dyspepsia. Reckless disregard of the proper choice of foods. rapi. eat ling and improper mastication. are the lunauestioned causes of all stomach dis orders from the slight ache to the ma l lignant cancer.
 There is nothing more revolting than a dyspeptic stomach--a very vat for lputrelication. sending forth it's poison throughout the entire system, depres- sing the brain, befouling the breath, i souring the taste, deadening the mus Icles, incapacitating the liver and kid lneys for their fork, facilitating the
 heart. choking the lungs and clogging | the bowels.
 | All of these disagreeable and danger l'ous conditions are due to the improper ldigestion of food and the consequent | assimilation of poison. What else can Ebe expected?: If the food lies in the stomach, if the system is constipated, fermentation is the natural outcome. It shows itself in sour, watery ris- lings. belchings, heartburn and painful breathing.
 | There is only one way to remove this condition. If the stomach refuses to ldigest your food put something into it Ithat will. StuartS dyspepsia IaDletS

crop of hay yesterday from six acres of land from which he has baled 800 bales, averaging in weight about 90 pounds to the bale, or about 45000 pounds of we'll cured hay, consisting of pea. crab grass and other varieties of the best of hay. Mr. Grimmet has an offer of 75 cents per bale for all the hay that he has baled from his six acres of land, and at this rate he would receive S375 for the crop, which cost him absolutely nothing to produce. The only outlay of labor put forth by the farmer in any way was the sowing of peas on the land on which he formerly gathered fully that amount Of

oats. MT. Grimmet says his oat crop will fully equal that of his hay produced on the same land.
 At this rate the six acres of land on which this large crop of hay and oats were produced will bring MT. Grimmet Si5e in cold cash with but very little work. This exceeds the cotton crop that might have been produced on the sanle land by at least $250.
 Numbers of the farmers throughout this section of the country are becoming more interested in specializing in farming, and the proposition is proving successful in every instance.

We now see how the government

to such an extent that these maya
zines cannot use the mails they will
be forced either into the hands of

President Taft is a willing tool in
the hands of these men in their eff

independent publications. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether or not the
people of this country will allow this
Wall street combination to kill off
the Independent magazines, using
the government as q weapon to car

that all that is needed to put the
