TWO HANDSOME BOOKS
Published by the Central Railroad Advertising Alabama and Georgia Towns
 and Farms. -r ;. 9, .-

The Central Railroad company has re- gently issued two books that will doubt less prove of great benefit to the sections through which that road runs One is entitled Fruits of Industry" and com prises about fifty pages of illustrations towns and cities through which the Cen tral passes. The cuts are of factories, fairs and public buildings, and make a splendid showing for the industrial south. Among the illustrations are cuts of the Ensley furnaces and the Howard Harrison Pipe works.
 The other book is called Southern Farms" and is a compendium of farms for sale along the line of the Central. Speaking of Birmingham, it says:
 Birmingham, Ala, the Magic City, a great commercial metropolis, is in the center of a very populous district, and tion, it's industries too varied and nu- merous to describe herein. It Is in the center of a rich coal and iron district, and formidable competitor of Pittsburg as market for pig iron.
 Birmingham Is thoroughly lighted by electricity has fine system of electric and dummy car service, with frequent and convenient schedules to all the inn portant suburban towns. Its fine ho- tels. immense wholesale stores, hand . some public buildings, rank probably with those of much larger and older cities. Five great railroad systems touching here afford complete transportation facil- ities for all classes of traffic.

Four Men Killed.

Without warning, and in a manner wholly unexpected and unex- p1ainable the casting house, the largest building of the plant, collapsed, burying many of its occupants in the debris. As quickly as possible relief came to the imprisoned men, and when all were res cued 1t was found that three were dead and eight badly injured.

Cuban War News.

Havana, Oct. B. via Tampa, Fla, Oct. 11.-Among the recent victims of yellow fever is Manuel Delgado. son of the late Admiral Delgado Parejo, who was lost with the cruiser Sanches Borcaize- legen. Delgado, Jr., who was quite young, had accompanied his father from Europe to Cuba, not wishing to be sepa- rated from him. He witnessed the re- covery of his fathers body near the Moro.
 The reports state that the many de- tachments on outposts due are having many unimportant skirmishes with the enemy The studied policy of the insur- gents seems to be the avoidance of com- ing to close quarters. In localities un- protected by troops they cut telegraph and telephone wires and burn bridges.
 A Red Cross society, which will be a branch of the famous international or ganization of that name, will be formed in Havana, with the bishop of Havana as it's first patron

Count ToIstoi,

 Who is in closer sympathy with hu- manity. its needs and it's sufferings, than any man who is alive today, says:
 "Go through a crowd of people,
 preferably city people examine
 their tired, anxious, wasted faces;
 remember your life and the lives
 of those whom you have known
 intimately: recall the many sad
 cases of sickness and sorrow of
 which you have heard. and ask
 yourself the reason of all this suf
 fering and despair. And you will
 see, however strange 1t may ap-
 pear that the cause of nine
 tenths of human misery is some
 chronic weakness or disease, that
 this suffering is useless, thats it
 could be avoided, and that the
 majority of people whose lives are
 darkened by i'll health might be
 strong, vigorous and happy" Coupled with the words of this grand man is the great truth that four-ffths of all diseases arise from kidney. liver or bladder complaints. Can you not readily see, then, why that magnificent remedy, Warmers Safe Cure, is so popular7 It is be- cause it prevents these troubles or ecures them if taken in tune. If you doubt thls ask any educated, well-in- formed doctor, druggist or profes- sional man.
