Are the Best Indicators of a
 Towns Prosperity.
BIRMINGHAM IS FORTUNATE
In Possessing Papers Which Will Be Sure to Keep Abreast of the Magic City's Greatness Some Newspa-
 pers of the Boom Days.
BY H. J. BURNEY

Good newspapers are the best advertise ments possible for town to have. pros porous newspaper is invariably a sign that prosperity reigns in the town in which the paper is published. The fact that the Bir- mngham district is in a prosperous con- dition is evidenced by the newspapers of the Magic City.
 A newspaper is the most potent factor in the upbuilding of district. It chroni- cles to the world the resources, advant- ages and possibilities of a certain section. and immigration and capital flow to that section as surely as night follows day.
 Birmingham is not young city. but since it's inception it has been plentifully sup piled with good newspapers. The old Iron Age was the pioneer daily of the district, and being published in a good town was naturally a good paper. The Herald was the second in the field, and began life as an afternoon paper The Chronicle and News were started soon after, and the Iron Age and the Herald were consolidated and became known as The Age-Herald. The News absorbed the Chronicle and this left only two dalies in the city.
 The Evening Tribune, a campaign daily, was started by the populists in 1884, but being personal organ instead of a strict ly newspaper, was nci a startling success. The State, a free silver morning daily, was started in 1895, but as the paper Was more in favor of free silver than 1t was in gathering the news, after ftful life of six months, it was consolidated with The Age-Herald, the combination assuming the name of The State Herald.
 During the boom days the papers pub lished here f1ourished like the proverbial green bay tree, and money was made rap booms set in and one by one the papers gave up the ghost and soon passed out of the memory of man.
 The only paper to survive the hard times which prevailed for several years follow ing the boom was the Birmingham News This paper has been practically under the same management since the first issue was run off the press. It was only Editor Rhodes indomitabe pluck and persever- ence which kept the paper from being swamped, but he weathered the gale and has since reaped quite harvest from his investment.
 The Evening Ledger while yet young, is a lively and likely youngster, and is dem- onstrating the fact that creditable paper can be sold for a penny and still have some returns for its owners.
 The growth of a newspaper and the growth of @ city are simultaneous When one prospers, so does the other. Birming- ham is entering new era. With the open ing of the steel mill will come an influx of labor which will far surpass the boom days of the sos. The newspapers of the city have contributed toward the upbuild- ing of the city and they can always be depended upon to keep abreast of Birming- hams prosperity.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS IS
 OF BIRMINGHAM
The Great Work of the ConsoIi-
 dated Electric Light Co.
ITS COMPLETE
Though Not the Largest the Most Conn plete Plant in the South-FurnisheS Currents For Both City and
 Commercial Lights, Etc.

No light for private purposes, in warm attitudes especially is comparable to that produced by electricity. All incandescent lamps generate the minimum of heat. It is odorless and smokeless. It requires no match or blazing taper. Its faithful illu- imitation does not flicker in gentle breeze or violent storm. In convenience for turn ing on or off the light, in security from fires, in cleanliness and general utility in candescent lamps are without an equal. No modern building can afford to be with out them.
 There is no more reliable'or cheaper pow CT for driving machinery of any kind than electricity. All classes of manufacturing concerns, from the smallest to the largest, can be furnished power by the Consolidated Electric Light company at a minimum of cost, the full power being applied or dis continued by pressing a button.

 The boiler house is 145 feet by 3S feet. In it there are horizontal return tubular boilers, with generating capacity of 2,600 horse power three with overhauling fronts, eighteen feet long and seventy-two inches in diameter, and with flush fronts sixteen feet long and seventyt,vo inches in di- ameter The boilers are fed with city wa ter through Warrington Duplex pumps. The steam and water piping are so ar ranged that a break in any one place can- not interfere with the running of the plant sufficient valves being inserted so that the damaged portion can be cut out and re- paired. The feed water is heated by the

 of the greater scarcity of water in the neighborhood of the station. In the same room there are fourteen dynamos of the well known Thomson Houston type, and two ball arc dynamos Eight are used on 1000 C. D. circuit for street lighting, and eight on 1,2OO c.

 In addition to the above this company has put in the following new machinery:
 Two 10G Kilo Watt 110-volt General Elec- tric Companys incandescent dynamos for the three wire system:
 One direct connecting engine, capable of developing 4SO horse power, built by the Harrisburg Foundry and Machine company, of Harrisburg. Pa.:

 In the basement of the engine room are the wire and two lines of counter shafting Each shaft is six inches in diameter and divided into two sections, making four sec tions in all and each section is driven by one engine. Any section of one shaft can be coupled with the other in the same shaft by means of friction clutches, and the two shafts are cross connected by a fifty-inch belt, this cross-connection also being cou- pied to each shaft by clutches, so that 1t can be used or not as desired. And each engine drives on to pulley mounted on a quill so that the shafting may be run at

 The repair shops and meter room are To- cated in the basement of the station, and the offices of the company are at the east end on the first floor.
 The station is built with a view to ex- tensions, as demands may require.
 This superb plant cost nearly half mill lion dollars. MT. Robert Jemison, President of the company, conceived the plan and executed 1t. It is the greatest achievement, perhaps, of this public-spirited and pro- gressive citizen, who is ever restlessly act i've in the advancement of Birmingham.

Electric Light Company was completed. It is erected on lots between the tracks of the Alabama Great Southern Railway between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets practi- cally in the center of Birmingham. This plant furnishes the power for the electric car lines of the Birmingham Railway and Electric company, supplies current for all public and commercial arc lights, operates an Edison three-wjre system which sup plies motors and incandescent lamps, and also an alternating dynamo of the mono- cyclic type.
 The incandescent lines of wire stretch out in every direction from the Power Station, reaching every section of the city. With in the past few months these incandescent lines have been extended so as to reach any part of the South Highlands, and to- the top of Wares Hill, on the North High lands, and the people of these residence dis

so often without benefit that they get
discouraged and skeptical. In most
such cases serious mistakes are made in

unmistakable evidences of kidney trou-

too frequent desire to pass water, scanty

disease advances the face looks sallow

heart acts badly Should further evil
dences be needed to find out the cause
of sickness, then set urine aside for
twenty -four hours If there is a sediment

that our kidneys and bladder need doc

not designed to check the decline, clearly
reflected the willingness of substantial in

fractional lots of stocks which indicate
that the attention of class of investors
whose judgment is often sound has been
attracted to the market. On the other
hand, the market reflected heavy liquida-
