CHAIRMAN GOODWIN HAS
 CONFIDENCE IN CLAYTON

However, l have not discussed the tenn porary chairina anship with members of the committee and have no idea how they feel about it. 1 am giving you only my persrna, view.
 MT. Clayton was chairman of the na- tional democratic convention at Denver in 1910, and acquitted himself magnifcently. He will delive" keynote speech and will undoubtedly do the cause of Underwood and the democratic party good throughout the country.
 The question of the temporary chair manship of the state convention will not be decided. however, until the committee meets on Apri. 16."
 During tho past few days the question of who shall preside temporarily over the state convention has been consider ably discussed in this city. In addition to Chairman Goodwin others prominent in public life have suggested the possibil- ity of Congressman Clayton being select ed to that office.
 Another enc mentioned for temporary chairman of the convention is H. S. D. Mallory of Selma, and it is believed that his name may also be suggested to the members of the executive committee as temporary presiding officer.

Why. would you believe it, the very first night washed with Cuticura Soap and applied the Cuticura Oint- ment was relieved immensely from tkat itch ing and burning feeling. I then'continued the use of the Cuticura Soap and Ointment for about three months and now am completely cured of the blotches and there is not mark on my face. continue to use the Cutcura Soap, however, as think that no sensible person should be without it." (Sgned) ". c. Donovan, Jr., Sept. IS. 1911.
 Not cnly are Cuticura Soap and Ointment most valuable in the treatment of eczemas and other distressing eruptions of skin and scalp, but no other emolients do so much for pimples, blackheads, red, rough and oily skins, itching scaly scalps, dry. thin and falling hair, chapped hands and shapeless nails, nor do 1t so economically. A single cake of Cuticura Soap (25c.) and box of Cuticura Ointment (50c.) are often sufficient when all else has failed. Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold everywhere. Sample of each msdled free, with 32-p. book. Address, "Cuticura," Dept T, Boston. Tender-faced men should shave with Cuticura Soap Shaving Stick.

EPISODE
 IN LIMESTONE COUNTY

serve bunch of warrants and he reports things in a bad way there He found several bodies of men, some of which were composed of nearly 100 good citizens while others were in smaller groups These men were in bad temper and nut terings were heard on every side.
 This trouble or state of affairs was oc- casioned by a whitecap episode which took place at Cedar Hill school house in the extreme northeast part of the coun- ty last Friday night, when school was being brought to close by little enter tainment by the pupils.
 A young man named Hugh Hopwocd was in the audience who was approached by young man named Davis, who asked him to leave the room and take a drink with him, which was declined. Later 1t is alleged, he came to him and said gentleman on the outside wished to speak to him. Hopwood went out to see who it was and as he stepped from the door, it is alleged, was seized and hand clapped over his mouth and guns showed into his face. He was ordered not to speak or make any outcry, and was hustled off by James Davis, his son, and three sons-in-laws, to the home of Davis, where he was forced to accompany Dg- WIS, hls daughter and the four other men to the home of George Johnson, where under protest, he was forced to wed the girl.
 Hopwood was kept locked in a room over night, but was allowed to go to his home Saturday morning and warned to be back that evening. Instead he and many friends who rebelled at the out rage. made efforts to secure warrants for the arrest of his kidnapers, but the local justices, it is stated, declined for some cause to issue the papers, and they cs me to Athens for warrants, which were placed In the hands of the sheriff, who soon had Davis and his son. The others have not been arrested, but have prom ised to be here Friday for trial.
 Davis and his son-in-law came to Ath- ems and secured the license, alleging that the young man was passed 21, and for this he stands charged with perjury. The people of the neghborhood give the boy fine reputation, and he is not without friends and money with which to prose- cute the men.

Montgomery, March &.-(Special.)- Chairman Tyler Goodwin of the state democratic executive committee believes that Congressman Henry D. Clayton would make a good temporary chairman for the state convention which meets in Montgomery on April IT. While Chair man Gaodwyn declares that he has not discussed the matter with any of the members of the executive committee, he believes that there would be no objection to Mir. Clayton's acting in that capacity from any member of the state convention, inasnuch as ne is known to be a strong and loyal supporter of Oscar w. Under wood for President.
 T, of course, have no means of know ing who will be recommended to the con- vention by the state committed, said Chairman Goodwin, "but Congressman Clayton would make an ideal presiding of ficer, and ought to be entirely acceptable to everybody. He is an accomplished par lamentarian and is warm personal and political friend of Oscar Underwood. These two qualitlts appeal to me very strongly.

A Reasonable Plea
 For the Stomach
If Your Stomach Is Lacking in Diges- tive Power, Why Not Help the
 Stomach do Its Work:
Especially When It Costs Nothing to
 

Not with drugs, but with a rein forcement of digestive agents, such as are naturally at work in the stomach? !? Scientific analysis shows that diges ton requires pepsin, nitrogenous fer ments, and the secretion of hydrochlo- ric acid. When your Good fails to di- gest, it is proof positive that some of these agents are lacking in your di- gestive apparatus.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets contain nothing but these natural elements necessary to digestion and when placed at work in the weak stomach and small intestines, supply what these or gans need. They stimulate the gastric glands and gradually bring the diges- tive organs back to their normal con- dition.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been subjected to critical chemical tests at home and abroad and are found to con- tain nothing but natural digestives.
