A TALK ABOUT BEER!
When Certain Effects Follow Beer
 Drinking, Then Look Out!
WHAT 1T MAY INDICATE,
How Beer Affects Various PeopIeA Strange Fact Familiar to Most Doctors, But Not to the Average Man Who Quafs the Foaming Lager.
Drink beerl Drink beer!

Drink beerl Drink beer
 This seems like very contradictory ad- vice, but, nevertheless, it is the condensed opinions of two great classes of people. There are some who believe that a glass of beer is a healthful. invigorating bever- age. Tn re are others who regard beer IS a sort of disguised poison. And the strangest thing about it is that both opin- ions may be right under certain condi- tions.
 The fact of the matter is that glass of beer may be either benefit or a curse, according to the health of the person who drinks it. If a man or woman is in sound health it may do good. If. on the other hand, there is a weak spot in the liver or kidneys, injury will result from the drink ing. One of the greatest proofs that liver complaint is more common than we sus- pect is the oft-repeated remark of beer drinkers: T wish l hadn't taken that glass"
 In this way beer acts as a barometer which shows the state of the health. If you drink a glass of beer and soon after commence to feel that something is wrong in the small of your back, or have a dull, heavy feeling. bad taste in the mouth, and, perhaps, the first stages of a headache, you may be sure that your liver and kidneys need prompt attention. Neglect the warning and more serious results are bound to follow sooner or later.
 These great vital organs are the first to indicate disease, and when they are out of order the miserable sensa tions above described are sure to be felt. When this is the case it is cheaper and wiser to- remedy matters before more serious con sequences follow. Then it is time to tone up the body, purify the blood and restore healthy action to the liver and kidneys. For this purpose there has never been but one remedy, and that is Warmers Safe Cure. which for years has been rec ogniZed as the greatest and best health restorer in the world. Physicians everywhere acknowledge it. Thousands of men and women gladly testify to it's splendid effects It is, and always has been, unsurpa ssed.

DANIEL, sH1pMAN TROY.

A Montgomery special to be found in another column of this issue, conveys the sad news of the death of Colonel Troy at his home in that city yesterday
 Col. Daniel Shipman Troy was born on the Cape Fear river in North Caro- lima, October 9, 1892, and moved to Ala bama when quite a lad. He read law in the office of his brother-in-law, William Hunter, at Cahaba, and in 1851. at the age of 19 years, was admitted to the bar. He was admitted to practice in the supreme court in 1854. He lived at Cahaba until 1S60 and from there came to Montgom- cry. In January, 1861, he joined the Montgomery True Blues as private In an expedition against Fort Barrancas, Pensacola After this he mustered company known as the Gilmer Greys, and went out as it's captain. The Greys were mustered into and became part of the Hiliard Legion early in 1862.
 In the fall of 1862 Captain Troy was promoted to major, and in 1863 the in- fantry of the legion was reorganized into the F'ifty-ninth and Sixteenth Ala bama regiments, and he was made lieu tenant-colonel of the Sixteenth. He took part in Longstreets attack upon Knox vile, siege of Cumberland Gap, battle at Means station, Drurys Bluff and Bermuda Hundred. He was wounded at Drury's Buff, and on the 25th of March, 1S65 near Petersburg, he was shot en- tirely through the left lung and left upon the battlefield for dead. He fell into the hands of the enemy, where he remained to the close of the war After the cessa- sion of hotilities he resumed the practice of law as a member of the firm of Watts &, Troy For a short time he was pres ident of the Red Mountain Iron and Coal company, now known as the Eureka company was one of the largest stock holders and a director in the Elyton Land company He was a member of the State Senate from 1878 to 1886. He was converted to Catholicism while being nursed in a Federal hospital for his wounds, and since that period has lived and died a devout and ah earnest mem Der in that faith. He leaves large family and many friends to mourn his loss.
 Colonel Troy was an earnest man. man with strong convictions, with the courage to give expression to them. lie was honest and generous to fault and there are many poor people in Mont pomerv today who will miss his open hand. His charity was after that kind which admonishes us to 'let not your right hand know what your left hana doeth."~ Peace to his ashes Alabama has lost good citizen, and one whose heart always beat for her we'll being.

Edith's Marriage Portion.

It is now announced that her father, John D. Rockefeller, is going to settle upon her at the time of her marriage only $1, ,0O0, 900. For several weeks it has been noised around that Edith was going to outshine the Gould girl, who married a count, about 3 to 1; that her portion would not be less than $35, 900, ,000, and in- deed that is said to be her prospective in- heritance: but her papa proposes to let her prospective husband marry her for what she is, plus a beggarly $1,00O,0 900. But we are glad to hear that the engage ment will not be broken on this account. Edith is going to marry a man of more account than a count. Harold McCor- mick of Chicago is no pauper himself, and by prudent mana cement Harold and Edith will be able to get along as if they were in better circumstances.
 Of course 1t is hard blow to Edith to be turned out of her fathers home with only $l00O,0 900 to begin housekeeping on, but it may be just the discipline she needs. She may yet live to thank her father for having made her plan and econmize for herself. Anyhow, it won't hurt her a bit
 Many a young couple have gone to housekeeping with less money in the bank than she will have, and some of them have done quite well. If she were going to marry duke or count it would be diff ferent, but she isn't: she is going to mar ry man.-Detroit Journal

For upward of forty years-from 1857 to 1S92-the Associated Press was com posed of those journals which received their news directly, or through auXil- iary associations, from the pioneer organ iZation the New York Associated Press.
 In 1882 the United Press was formed, it's papers being the Boston Globe, Chi cago Herald, Pittsburg Leader, Brook lyn Times and some 100 others. In 1892 the New York Associated Press was con- solidated with the United Press and the New York Herald Tribune, Sun, Times, Journal of Commerce, Mail and Express, etc. then became the prominent factors in the United Press.
 This combinat tion has with it the South ern Associated Press; the Associated Press of the state of New York; the New England Associated Press; the pioneer press organization of Canada conducted by the Great Northwestern Telegraph company, and various other organiza- tons, most of which had been allied with the New York Associated Press for more than thirty years. This combina- Herald is part of 1t.
 The so-called Associated Press" is a Chicago enterprise, with a scattered fol- lowing in various parts of the country. II is spurious organization which came into existence in 1892. It's record of blum ders and inventions during it's career was becomingly perpetuated by it's an- nouncement that the Valkyrie had de- feated the Defender in the first of the International yacht races.

Three flat cars with about a dozen bales of cotton each are hooked together and mule is used for starting them off. When they begin roll ing the mule is taken away, and gravity carries them on to the depot at ter rife rate. The total amount of cotton received at this market from September 1 to Saturday last, September 2l, reaches 2762 bales, nearly double last years re- ceipts for the same dates. A scarce ar, ticle in the city last week was small change The scarcity of silver was not the cause of this, for nearly every one of them had a silver dollar (many or them bearing date of 1S95), and was want ing change. The reason for the absence of change was that some four or i've per sons who expected to run stands" at the negro camp meeting Sunday had been saving since last June all the small change they could get and few days before the camp meeting nearly every mercantile house here was saving change for last Saturdays trade.

The Times is informed that Hyche says he was riding along the road yesterday when some unknown party lylng Tn concealment behind a clump of bushes discharged a gun at him. Hyche was untouched, and seeing this the would-be assassin attempted to shoot again, but the gun failed to fire. The in-. cident occurred on the Windham Springs road, near the eighteen mile post. The identity of the would-be assassin is un- known. The many friends of Father McCafferty note with pleasure his pres ence on the streets again, after having been confined to his home for some time with fever. Superintendent Cochrane informs the Times that he hopes soon to use coke instead of coal in the belt line dummy. No smoke, no cinders; truly it would be vast improvement.

Both the Birmingham News and the Age-Herald will oppose Captain Johnston in his race for governor. Should General Shelley enter the contest, which is a probability, Captain Johnston will have hard fight to carry his own county, Jefferson, against this veteran democrat and able statesman.

In order to encourage the growing of wheat at home. Spain has imposed a pen alty of improvement and confiscation upon any one who attempts to raise wheat in Cuba. The land of Cuba is we'll adapted to the growth of wheat, and but for this penalty the wheat crop of Cuba would be one of its chief crops. Then Spain has placed high tariff on wheat or flour shipped to Cuba from any country except Spain. This shuts out American wheat from direct impor- tation. American wheat is shipped to Spain, made into four and then reship- ped to Cuba. Of course the Cubans pay dearly for flour bread. If Cuba was free this onerous burden would be removed, as well as others equally as outrageous. Commersial treaties would be adopted by the United States and Cuba, by which trade relations advantageous to both countries would be put into effect.
