 RELIEF  Invariably Found by the Use of the
 Electropoise. Suffered From the Effects of La Grippe for l2 Months-Cures That Cannot Be Doubted.

I have thought some time of writing you of my experience with the Electro poise. and my opinion of it. When I re- ceived the Electropoise, more, than two years ago, was suffering with the eff fleets of la grippe, and had been for about twelve months. Some of the time I was in bed and quite feeble. and gradually losing ground. Soon after applying the instrument I found relief and I contin- ued to improve until I was restored, and now I am able to do as much work as could three years ago. It has given me renewed energy, and has built up my sys- tenn generally. I have seen it tested in cases of typhoid and malarial levers, and cases of pneumonia, collie, Aux, croup, colds, la grippe, indigestion and rheuma- tism, where not a dose of medicine was given, and have never failed in one sim gle case, while some of them the doctors had abandoned, saying they could do them no more good We applied the Elec- tropoise and from the beginning they be- gan 10 improve.
 These are cases that cannot be doubted and speak we'll for the Electropoise as there are plenty of witnesses to testify. I have all faith in the Electropoise, and all my family use 1t on all occasions and invariably find relief I am yours, with kind regards. JESSE w. PARKS.

NUMBER OF CARS HANDLED The November Report by the
 Car Service Association.
INCREASE OVER LAST YEAR
Showing an Enormous Growth in the Business of the Birmingham District, With lm-
 proyement in Detention.

One of the solid institutions of Bir- mingham is the Alabama Car Service as- sociation.
 Few readers who see in newspapers the figures of it's reports imagine the inn portance of the enterprise to the prompt dispatch of the heavy tonnage of the Bir- mingham district. It is true that all cars on all railroads in the state are em- braced in the business of the service, but it's work Is especially beneficial in the facilitation of traffic in the Birming- ham district proper. Here, on account of the enormous tonnage in ores, pig iron, coal and limestone going out there Is a constant demand for cars, and, necessa- rily, there must be a big supply of empty cars coming in continually.
 While the association has it's headquar- ters in Birmingham it has agents at Montgomery, Mobile, Anniston and Me ridian and car service inspectors at smaller stations, who take the numbers and initials of cars. The reports of these agents and inspectors are checked off by the reports of the agents of the rail- roads, reports from both sources coming in daily.
 The association, under the manage ment of Maj. w. H. McClintock who is chosen by the railroads composing it, has accomplished most gratifying re- suits. Its annual reports to the railroads interested make no sort of flourish, but furnish valuable and interesting indices to the business of the district.
 The average detention of cars has been reduced since 1891, when the service be- gan operations, from over five days to less than one day and hundreds of thou sands of dollars have been saved, be- sides keeping cars in service for all they are worth. The rules of the association, with the charge of $1 a day for a car detained over two days, have salutary effect in impressing punctual business methods both upon railroads and con- signees.
 F The State Herald is indebted to Man. ager McClintock for a copy of the re- port for the month of November, which grand total of PESTS cars for November, 1895 against 17,185 cars for November, 1894 an increase of 6693. October of this year broke the record, the figures for that month going to 24,876 cars; but the difference of about 1000 cars in favor of October, 1895, Is less than the difference for that month in 1894. The falling off, slight though it is, is attributed to the greater briskness in the iron market dur ing October of this year.
 Major McClintock, of course expects to have a very gratifying report for the year, as the data already in hand shows a great increase in the grand totals over last year. The Birmingham district. of the total of PESTS cars handled in No- vember, handled 17463 cars.

IMPROVED SERVICE.
Changes Made in the Fire Department That Will Greatly Add to Its
 Efficiency.

reel that has been kept in the East End department since the station was abandoned some time ago will here after be held in readiness at the North side fire department to answer alarms. This will give two reels at every fire, in- stead of the Southside reel, which has heretofore been answering alarms from the Northside as we'll as the Southside. Ii is believed that the change will prove very effective in having plenty of hose at fires as soon as the steamer is ready to pump water. The aerial truck will only, go out hereafter on the second alarm, when the driver of the Northside steamer will return for 1t, if needed at headquarters. It has been going out on al alarms, and it is rarely needed, and by this arrangement hardships on the horses will be prevented, and unnecessary wear on the apparatus averted.

.BIRMINGHAM'S COTTON MILL
The Boilers Fired Up Yesterday Preparatory to Testing the Engine-Work to Begin
 in Earnest January 1.

i The big boilers of Birmingham's new cotton mill were fired up for the first time yesterday afternoon preparatory to test of the engine and starting up of the machinery. Steam has been on in one of the boilers for several days, as pipe has been placed entirely around the building for heating purposes, and these pipes were tested as put up; but 1t was only yesterday that the entire battery was fired up and the engine put to test. The engine was intended for duplex plant, and is therefore twice the size that would be required for the present plant, but no doubt it will be put to its full capacity before the mill Is, long in operation. ttiH ssE
 About two-thirds of the machinery has been placed, and 1t is expected to start up gradually until the full equipment is in operation. It will be the first of January before work will begin in earn est, though everything is being hurried up to make as early a start as possible, and the sight will be gratifying one in- deed when smoke issues regularly from the big stack that has so long been idle.
 This will prove an suspicious opening of the New Year for Birmingham, for 1t will no doubt open up new era in Bir- Nrningham's industrial development.

M'ELR0Y WINS.
UlIman Hurts His Arm and Surrenders in the
 Seventh Round.

OeVentn nOunu,
 Eugene McElroy and Joe Ullman of Montgomery met last night in Avon dale for twenty-five round contest with gloves. On account of the small audience the money was refunded to ticket holders and the twenty-five round contest postponed. A collection was then made from the audience and the men matched for ten round go. McElroy Is heavier than Ullman and in all probabil- ity would have earned the honors had the fight proceeded as far as ten rounds but in the second round Ullman hurt his left forearm and in the seventh round he surrendered the fight to McElroy. A sur geon who was present advised Ullman to abandon the fight Otherwise the two men did not look any the worse after the bout. Ullman left last night for At lanta and McElroy will remain in the city with the view of getting go as soon as the opportunity presents itself.

some period OF time, have had its source
