SHALL WE HAVE IT?
Tho Southern Cotton Harvester Com pany Looking for Location-A
 Chance for Birmingham.

The Southern Cotton Harvester company is on the lookout fora location.
 Interested parties are and have been in Birmingham for some time, and without blasts of trumpets or newspaper notoriety these interested parties have made a thorough study of this city, its surround ings and adaptability, and from an inter- view with them an AGE. HERALD reporter
 learned that Birmingham has facilities superior to any southern city. It's many machine shops for repair work, rolling mills, furnaces, coal and timter regions are beyond anything of the kind to be found on the American continent, so said one of them.
 When asked as to the harvester com
 pany, one of them drew out papers and photographs and submitted them for in- vestigation. This is what was learned: The cot ton harvester is the result of eight years of experiment., and today is past the experimental stage and is bona fide suc- cess. Two of the harvesters, which, by the
 way, were made throughout in this city, are now in operation on the plantation Of
 Hon. H. l.. Taylor at Bentonia, Miss, in
 the Yazoo delta. These machines have
 been in constant use ever since the cotton
 gathering season opened, and have proven
 all that was claimed and more, judging
 from letters from leading planters of Mis- sissippi.
 The machine is simple of construction, stands on two wheels aud is feel 9 inches in length, and has eight rolls with 5000 coil teeth. made of steel, which do the work. Two mules and one man are all required to
 operate the machine, and is so simple that any needed repairs can made in the field The machinery can be made to gather the top or bottom crop or both. Its weight is nominal.
 The principal feature, however is: :What has this to do with Birming gham?' It means that if Birmingham secures the location of the plant S1 ,000 ,000 at least will be invested, more than 1000 men and boys | will be given employment in the plant, and hundreds will be required to furnish tim | Der, iron, steel and other necessaries for 1 the building of the machines.

 won number of important events in the vicinity of Boston, but his national repu- tation was the result of his fast work at tho recent championships of the Amateur Athletic union at Travers island near New York.
 Bean visited New York for the sole pur- pose of carrying the five mile champion ship to Boston. The title of champion stood to the credit of w. D. Day, the fla nous distance runner who committed sui eide by hanging himself to tree not long ago because he was accused of embezzle- ment. Day won the event at the national championships of 1899 and 1893.
 Among the competitors in the recent race at Travers island was E. c. Carter, who has been prominent on the cinder path for 15 years, who holdsthe American five mile record of 25 minutes 28 3-6 sec- onds and who has twice been champion five mile runner of America. He has also captured other championships too numer- ous to mention and holds nearly all the American amateur records from 1-5 to g 45 miles. Carter is now 81 years old, and years of distance running have told upon him, for he was pretty we'll " baked" when the Boston Bean ronped home 0 winner with 15 yards of daylight to spare between him and his opponents.
 The last lap covered by Bean, with his clubmate, James s. RIshworth, as pace maker, was tho fastest ever run in @ five mile race in the United States and stamped Bean as wender. His time at the finish was 26 minutes 58 2-5 secopas, which is slow, compared with Cartor's record, which was made Sept. IT, 1887.

 Mrs. Jennie A. Ruff, whose portrait is given above, writing from her home in Sebewa, Mich., says:
 "My husband has had stomach trouble for over year, from which be suffered the tortures of daily death. He could eat scarcely anything, and what he did eat soured on his stomach and caused him to bloat so terribly that life was only bur den. He tried physicians to no avail, and as I was taking Paine's celery compound he thoug ht he would try it. In short time he was surprised to find that he could eat anything with no bad effects; the bloat- ing is all gone and his stomach Is in good condition.
 -.'I had suffered for years with periodical sper.s of sick headache; pen cannot de- scribe what suffered at such times.

THINGS DRAMATIC.

Gus Heege and his company delighted fair houses at O'Brien's at matinee yester- day and last night in the production of "Yon Yonson,o three act farcical drama. The play is an exact representation of life in North Dakota and the northwest, as will be testified to by any person ac. quainted with that region. Not only is it pleasing production, but it is clean and pure. The character of Ton Yonson, 8 rough .Swede, an employe of logging camp, is quaint and is within itself pro. character Is simply immense, and makes an audience roar with laughter from be- ginning to end.
 His company, too, is very good, and gives him support that insures favorable criticism from any audience. The stage setting is the finest of the kind that has ever been put on in O'Brien's opera house. The scenic equipment is elaborate and is an exact reproduction of the locality of the play.
