New Branch Line
The Southern Railway company
will build another mineral extension
to its system in tlie Birmingham dis*
trict before the end of tbe present
ysar,A*J( the Age Herald. will be
about forty miles in length and will
run to all the mines of tbe Ivy Coal
and Coke company in Walker county,
Ala. ' N
The survey of the route has been
going on for some time and was com*
pleted Monday. The plane will be
drawn within the next week or two,
and alter that it is thought that the
contracts will be let as soon as possible.
It will not take long to finish the road
after work has once begun.
The survey is an excellent one, tbe
smallest cut will be only about eight
feet deep, and there is only one trestle
of any importance to build.
The branch will leave tbe Southern
at a point twenty-eight miles west of
Birmingham. It will run north along
Horse creek in a beautiful and fairly
level valley. About three miles from
the starting point the track will pass
under the trestle of the Kansas City,
Memphis and Birmingham railroad,
which spans Horse Creek at that
point.
Beyond ibis point the road will
branch out io three directions and will
run to the mouth of each' of the Ivy
company’s mines.
Pitt’s Carminative is pleasant to the

writes: ”1 consider It the best medicine I
have ever used in my family. It does all
you claim for it, and even more."

Wazhikoton, Sept. 2,—Th* auxiliary
cruisers Bt. Paul and St Louis today, at
Cramp’s ship yards, were returned to the
International Navigation company by the
government. There were no ceremonies
attendant upon tbo transfer, beyond the
hauling down ot tbe American flag and
the raising of the ensign of the Interna
tional Navigation company.
Tbo officials of tbe company were notifi
ed the Harvard and Yale, now in New
York, would be also turned over today to
the company.
It is expected that when tbe president
and Secretary Alger reach Montauk to
morrow, orders will be issued sending
home many more of the volunteer troops.
It is said detachments of the regular
troops will be sent to the forte about New
York, Rhode Island and Connecticut to
relieve the volunteers who have been on
duty there during the summer.
The department has received word that
Lieutenant Hobson has been taken with
an attack of fever. It is not to be malarial
in its type. Chief Hichborn said today
that Hobson has been under a fearful
strain, and that when he was here he
ought to be nursed and looked after.
There is considerable anxiety felt in tbe
department as to his condition, and As
sistant Secretary Allen cabled this rnohi
ing to learn his exact condition. -
Deceived by the Mules-
In a letter received by Gen. H. B.
Huidekoper from bis son, Private T.
Wallis Huidckoper, a member of tbe
Philadelphia City Troop, now with
the army in Porto Rico, is narrated an
incident in which the Spanish troops
were very cleverly deceived by a sim
ple little trick used by Capt. William
son, a regular army officer, says tbe
Philadelphia Record. Tbe latter was
in command of a wagon and mule
train from Ponce to Gen. Brooke’s
headquarters, 45 miles away, the train
being escorted by the City Troop and
Troop H, of tbe Sixth Regular Caval
ry. The country was full ol Spanish
troops, who could have easily swooped
down--on tbe train, and fear was en
tertained for its safety. There were
1,200 mules in tbe train, and Capt.
Williamson ordered all tbe hospital,
signal corps, and ambulance men to
ride the mules iu columns of fours.
This gave tbe train from a distance,
tbe appearance of a body of 1,500
cavalry, and tbe Spaniards gave the
warlike looking column a wide berth.
B. J. Lunqueit Dead.
Mr. B. J. Lunquest died at his home
in Forsyth yesterday after an illness

Mr. Lunquest is a veteran of the
civil war He went to the front with
the Spalding Greys, and fought in
their ranks until tbe surrender at
Appomattox
Tbe remains will be buried in this
city today, but tbe funeral arrange
ments had not been made last night.
Martin T. Bergan Passes Away.
Columbus, Sept. 2.—Martin T. Ber
gen, for many years dne of the leading
wholesale grocers and liquor dealers of
this city,' died this morning after an
illness of several months. Tbe deceas
ed wasvi native of Ireland, but bad
been a resident of this country ter
about fifty years. Besides large prop
erty intereats he has been engaged in
the manufacture of ice, and was pro
prietor of a bottling works at Griffin.
The Wilmington Star eays that
North Carolina is the most “negroized*
state in tbe union, and that the "ne
groizing” process is steadily going on.
It has a negro representative in Con
gress, negro magistrates, deputy sher
iffs, constables, county commissioners,
school commissioners who manage
white schools, aidermen and members
of boards of educatinn. It is tbe only
state that has negro officials in the
insane asylums and ‘other benevolent
institutions, and "there are more ne
groes in tbe legislature and more negro
postmasters than in any other state.”
Thia is what Populism has done for
North Carolina. Do Georgia voters
wish to see aometbing similar in tbeir
own state? If not—and we know they
do not —then .let them stick to and
vote the straight Democratic ticket.

“XtST
that nearly two-thirds of French school
children are addicted to the habit
Even for grown people there !• hard
ly any habit, aside from the confirmed
B bn“ of narcotics, niore difficult to
overcome than tbe habit of biting the
finger nails I< requires a rtro ®B
effort and constant vigilance to do this,
for once a person has become thorough-
Jy addicted to the habit he does it un
wnsciously, and is only reminded that
he is marring himself when he gets one
of his nails gnawed down to the quick.
AU manner of remedies have been ad
vanced for the cure of the finger nai
biting habit, including the. placing of
injurious and bitter compositions on the
ends of tbe fingers, but none of tbe rem
edies amounts to much.
The only way to stop biting the fin
«er nails is to stop. The Americans are
next to the French in tbe fingernail
biting habit, probably because the
Americans, as a whole, are an exceed
ingly nervous people. A man who ac
complishes his determination to knock
off biting his finger nails may, by in
cessant manicuring, get them to look
fairly well within a year or so, but fin
ger nail biting, if long persisted in,
ruins the shape of the ends of the fin
gers, and the nails can never be brought
to look as well as those of the persons
who permit their nails to grow as they
were intended to grow.—Washington

Too Mach For WaUon.
Only once did Watson, when a captain,
never fail to punish a man for intoxica
tion. This was in the summer of 1893
at Boston, when the San Francisco
took the Massachusetts naval militia on
its first practice cruise. Among the
regular crew was old Alexander Parker,
sailmaker’s mate, who was never known
to remain sober when there was liquor
to be had. When the naval militiamen
came on board a witty boatswain’s
mate, vyhile no officer was near, sang
out in an authoritative tone:
"AU you men having whisky on
board lay below and turn it in to the
sailmaker’s mate for safe keeping.”
Many amateur sailors took the bait,
and in a few minutes old Aleck, sit
ting down below decks in his sailroom,
was surprised to have a vast collection
of flasks passed to him. He received all
these as gifts with many thanks. He
waa found a day after sound asleep in
his sailroom, literally covered with
empty bottles of every size and shape.
He was finally taken before the captain,
to whom was told the circumstances.
"Parker,” said he sternly, "I have no
words with which to discuss your case.
Go forward. ’’—New York Times.
Asked For a Shirt and Got • Wife.
During the civil wftr there was a cer
tain young lady in Georgetown who
found it in her power to do a great deal
for tbe Confederate soldiers confined
In prison at Washington. Young, beau
tiful, cultured, popular, of a wealthy
and prominent family, she was fre
quently allowed admission to the pris
on, whither she always took her maid
with a well stocked basket of good
things for the poor boys behind the bars.
One day as she was passing through a
group of men in the common prison she
stopped and said to them:
"If there is anything you would like
to have that I can bring you, won’t you
let me know? I shall be very glad. ”
One man stepped forward promptly.
Bowing most courteously, he said:
"If you will be so kind, I should like
very much to have a clean shirt. ”
He was a young lieutenant from
Louisiana, one of the handsomest and
most elegant men I ever met, and when
that young lady looked up into his
brown eyes she found it in her heart to
give him much more than a clean shirt,
for she married him as soon as the war
was over.—Philadelphia Times.
