It is a most gratifying fact, but Il may
not be generally known, the mortality re-
cord shown. that the city of Wheeling
has Just passed through the most health-
full summer experienced for many
years. In fact, there Is no record eXtant
that will compare with the past sum
mer's unparalleled heaithfui condition OF
the city The three summer months
showing but 100 deaths,
In the preceding four years the deaths
for the corresponding months were l4S
1926, 1923 and ll6, indicating an annual
death rate of 1905, 1926, 1894 and l22l
per 1000, while that for the quarter Just
closed is but 1859 per 1000 population,
and that for September only ISl. or the
twenty-five deaths In each month, eleven
were from chronic diseases, two from &C
cldent and one from old age, leaving but
twelve deaths from acute diseases.
This Is certainly remarkable freedom
from sickness OF an infectious nature
There were reported eight cases OF
scarlet fever and seven Of diphtherla,
last month. The former, however, caused
no death, while the latter but one. This
of course, was a mild form OF disease
and yet the Importance Of early treat
ment and absolute isolation In both OF
these diseases cannot be too strongly
urged. DR. S, L, Jepson, the health Off.
GER Is firmly convinced of this fact.

MAJOR F. Y. ANDERSON
sIs. the Representative of Great English Company Organized to Benefit Ala
 bsma and E pc ia'ly Birmingham.

The Alabama Coal, Iron, Land and Col onization company, limited of London, England, is an organization of much interest to our residents. The company is composed of English capitalists who are represented in this city by Maj. F. Y. Anderson, a gentleman who has asso- ciated himself with foreign capitalists who desire investments. He has in- duced many thousands of dollars of for eign capital to come to this district and is-identif1ed with every public movement for it's advancement and upbuilding.
 The company is organized and incor- porated under the companies acts with a capital stock of f126, GOO, or nearly $630 coo, with the power to increase 1t. They main tain offices in London and elsewhere and, also in this city. Its main purpose is to exploit Alabama's exceptional produc- tion of pig iron and it's successful export In a recent pamphlet issued by the com pany it states: 'The disruption of the northern steel rail pool is followed by the export of Bessemer rails and billets, which is a new feature. Notwithstand- ing the unrivalled pre-eminence of Great Britain" it says, the United States, no longer a customer, enters upon a course of fair and reasonable competition"
 Such is the company represented by Maj. Anderson. Like himself, it is fair and open, enthusiastic and perfectly trustworthy.
