CONDITION BRIGHT
Birmingham Looks For a Good Business
In Coal and Iron,
BOLLING MILLS RESUME WORK
Permits For Erection of Building* Show
a Great Increase— Meeting of Press
Association.
Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 7. —With
the month of September came a consid
able improvement in the industrial con
dition of the Birmingham district, espe
cially with reference to the county of
Jefferson and the city of Birmingham.
Both the coal and iron markets show an
increased activity and a stiffening in
prices. The improvement has been very
gradual. About the middle of August
domestic coal commenced going out in
more abundance. Tl.is trade has steadily
worked up each week from that time un
til now so that the mines of Jefferson
show an excellent condition of work for
this early in the spring. A rumor has
gained considerable ground that the op
erators in this district have been discuss
ing an advance on both domestic and
steam coal. A conference has been had
with operators in East Tennessee and the
matter has been discussed well.
In the city of Birmingham a large
number of residences are going up
and the real estate agents say the
demand for houses to rent is very brisk.
The Warrior Machine works and the
East Birmingham Sad Iron works
have let contracts for large buildings.
The Sad Iron works were destroyed
by fire several months back. The
Warrior Machine works are putting
up a new shop almost in the center of
the city. Twenty-seven building per
mits were issued in the city of Birm
ingham rolling mills resumed opera
tion on the first of September and the
Gate City rolling mills will go on
about tomorrow a week. J. H. Dun
navant, wagon builder, is working on
a good contract for log wagons and
drays for Mobile and Montgomery.
Mr. Y. Van den Berg, traffic manager
of the Louisville and Nashville rail
road. was in the district last week and
made a tour of the various industries
on the Birmingham Mineral road.
Altogether the conditions are very
bright in this district.

Gentlemen—While in San Antonio,
Tex., last spring I saw your advertise
ment of P. P. P. (Prickley Ash, Poke
Root and Potassium) in the paper for the
cure of rheumatism and though*: I would
try a bottle; finding such great relief
from it on my return home, I had my
druggist, Mr. John McClellan, to order
me a supply. After taking, I think, ten
bottles, I have not had a pain or ache
since; previous to that I suffered for
twenty- five (25) years, and'could not get
the least benefit until I tried P. P. P.,
and therefore take pleasure in recom
mending it to all. Yours truly,
J. S. Rocsamond.

Marshal Camp of Toccoa Cut In Seven
PIIC9B.
Toccoa, Ga , Sept., 6.—A wagon load
of whiskey for sale well guarded was
just outside of the city corporation
limits Saturday night. Mr. E. L. Har
ris, who is chairman of the police
committee, at once notified a govern
ment official who happened to be in
town, and offered'his services to aid
in the capture of the men and whisky
They received the assistance of Mar
shal Camp and together the three
went to the woods about a mile from
the public square. When they reached
their destination, they found three
armed men selling whisky to a crowd
of negroes. The deputy marshal ap
proached the leader, who had a shot
gun and a pistol, and arrested him,
w,hereupon the man, whose name is
Joe Pitts, threw the pistol to the
deputy’s breast and pulled the trig
ger, but without success, as it failed
fire. He pulled it a second time, aim
ing at the officer’s heart. The weapon

who knocked the outlaw senseless
with the butt of the pistol and hand
cuffed him. While this was going on
Marshal Camp was trying to arrest
one of the other venders, but the man
was too much for him. The moon
shiner threw his arms around Camp
and stabbed him seven times very
severely, and made his escape. Mar
shal Camp was brought home in a
hack in a critical condition. Judge
J. B. Gaston came up from Gaines
ville this afternoon to investigate.

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When the tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing* and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten ar« caused

Chattanooga Line.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 7:—The promo
ters of the proposed railroad from Augus
ta to Athens say that they have had
exceptionally good success in soliciting
subscriptions. They are not selling stock
but are asking for subscriptions to bonds.
Mr. E. A. Richards says that Washing
ton, Wilkes county, will take sso,oooin
bonds, and the county outside Washing
ton will take $70‘009. He has assurances
he states, that Augusta will take $200,-
000 in bonds in order to get th a shops
and general offices.
One preliminary line has been run
from Athens to Augusta. A right of
way will be asked through the streets of
Augusta. Mr. Richards, who is the
lessee of the Northeastern railroad,
states that the line is doing well and
that its July and August earnings were
away ahead of the earnings for the cor
responding months last year. He expects
to get out all right on the rental, al
though his bid much higher than the
next lowest. Under the new manage
ment the Northeastern is being operated
very economically.

Uses of Wild Rice.
Few know more of the reed of our
river mud flats than that it furnishes
the food on which fattens for the epi
cure the reedbird of autumn dinner
tables, the bobolink of other seasons.
But as wild rice, Zizania aquatica of
science, it has played no mean part in
the service of man. It was the staple
food of the Indians that formerly in
habited northern Wisconsin and Min
nesota, where the plant abounds on the
margin of lakes. Dr. Elliott Cone says
that it is still the chief recourse of the
Objibway Indians on the reservations of
Minnesota. They not only gather it for
their own use, but for the purposes of
trade. A common name is Indian rice,
and the lakes along which the plants
abound are known as rice lakes. Whole
Indian villages will be tenantless in au
tumn, the inhabitants having gone
“ricing, ” as the harvesting is termed.
The Indians push their canoes into
masses of rice, bend the heads of rice
over a crotched stick and thrash the
grain into the bottom'of the boat. —In-

How to See the Wind.
Take a polished metal surface of two
feet or more and with a straight edge.
A large handsaw will answer the pur
pose. Take a windy day on which to
make the experiment, paying no atten
tion to atmospheric conditions, for such
an experiment can be as successfully
made on a clear day as it can on a
cloudy one, and the results will be
equally good in summer or winter. The
only thing you need to look out for is
that you do not attempt to “see the
wind” on a rainy or murky day, as con
ditions are then very unfavorable.
When everything is- in readiness, hold
the metallic surface at right angles to
the direction of the wind—i. e., if the
wind is in the north, hold the metal
east and west, but instead of holding it
vertical incline it about 42 degrees to
the horizon. When this has been done,
sight carefully along the edge of a
sharply defined object for some mo
ments and you will see the wind pour
ing over in graceful curves almost like
water. —St. Louis Republic.
Forgot the Violets.
Among the characteristics of Walter
Savage Landor, the famous author,
were his absentmindedness and his pas
sionate love for animals and the vege
table world. On one occasion, having
suffered not long before from leaving
the key of his portmanteau behind him,
he took special precautions before start
ing on a journey to see that his keys
were in his pocket. When, however, he
produced them in triumph at his jour
ney’s end, he found that he had left the
portmanteau behind. Landor, though
he often handled his fellow men some
what roughly, hated to see an old tree
felled and even shrank from plucking a
rose. One morning he collared his man
cook and flung him out of the window.
Then, suddenly remembering on what
bed in the garden the man would fall,
the flower loving Landor exclaimed:
“Good heavens! I forgot the poor vio
lets!”
Macaulay’s Wit.
Macaulay, who was in the habit of
shaving himself, and badly,’ too, it
would seem, once patronized a first
class barber. After obtaining an easy
shave, he turned to the tonsorial artist
and inquired:
“How mu<?h do I owe you?”
“Whatever you have been in thehab
it of giving the man who shaves you,
sir,” replied the barber.
“I generally give him two cuts on
each cheek,” replied the celebrated
English historian; “but you, sir, being
a superior workman, deserve to fare bet
ter. ” Washington Times.

Rheumatism
Is a blood disease and only a blood reme
dy can cure it. So many people make
the mistake of taking remedies which
at best are only tonics and cannot possi
bly reach their trouble. Mr. Asa Smith,
Greencastle, Indiana, says: “For years
I have suffered with Sciatic Rheuma
tism, which the best physicians were un
able to relieve. I took many patent
medicines but they did not seem to
reach my trouble. I gradually grew
worse until I was un
able to take my- food
or handle myself in
any way; I was abso
lutely helpless. Three
bottles of S.S.S. re
lieved me so that I
>was soon able to move
my right arm; before
long I could walk
across the room, and

A Real Blood Remedy.
