INDIAN HEAD COTTON MILL
At Cordova Will Begin Operations Monday
 Will Exporl Mostly to China.
snecial to The Age-Herald.

Special to The Age Herald.
 Cordova Jan. M.-The big Indian Head cotton mills at this place will be put in operation next Monday.
 In the amount of floor space these mills are larger that the Avondale mills at Bir- mingham, but the number of spindles is somewhat smaller, being 25,000. One thou sand looms are in the mills here. The cardtng machines far outnumber those of the Birmingham mill. These mills will use 10, eco bales of cotton year.
 The plant here has been constructed by number of eastern capitalists and so as- slIred are they of it's success that they will soon begin work on another cotton mill equally as large as the one just com pleted.
 The principal product of the Indian Head mills will be heavy sheetings and almost the entire output will be shipped to China. For this reason there will be very little competition with the Avondale mill for the reason that the latter makes better class of cotton goods known as print goods.

 MERCHANT KILLS HIMSELF. c. A. Cannon, of Anniston,
 Commits Suicide. HE DRANK -CARBOLlC ACID No Cause Can Be Assigned For the Act, Ex- cept That He Was Suffering From h.
 somna-Funeral at Rome, Ga.
HE DRANK CARB0LlC ACID
Special to The Age-Herald.


 Anniston Jan. 21-C. A Cannon, prominent clothing merchant of this city, ended his life this morning by drinking two ounces of carbolic acid. The only cause that can be assigned by his friends is despondency over i'll health, which caused insomnia. His business matters were found to be in good shape.
 Mir. Cannon breakfasted with his fami- ly this morning and was apparently in good spirits. Shortly after breakfast he drank a quantity of carboic acid on the front porch of his residence, and rushing up stairs. died in thirty minutes in great agony. The news spread quickly and was great shock to all, MT. Cannon be- ing one of the most popular business men in the city.
 c. A. Cannon came to Anniston in 1893 from Rome, Ga. Since that time he has been actively identified with Anniston's interests and has been one of the most enterprising business men in the city, He stood high in secret society circles, and was agrand officer of the Woodmen of the World, counselor commander of the local lodge, and a prominent Mason.
 The body was taken to Rome for burial, accompanied by friends and representa- tiyes of lodges.

TIE BLESSED VIRGIN
Was the Subject of Father Roberts Sermon a
 St. PauPs Last Night.

The subject of Father Roberts discourse at St. Paurs church last night was the Virgin Mary. The term "blessed" as ap- piled to the Virgin is purely a biblical term and he proved it from a biblical quo- tation from the Holy Scritpure taken from St. Luke: Hail full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women." "
 He explained the difference between wor- ship and adoration. We can worship a man or a woman, but to God alone we give adoration. If we can worship a human being, how much more ought we to wor- ship her who is the mother of God. She should be called the mother of God simply because the divine and the human nature constitute one person. But this person is God, and the Virgin being the mother oi this person is also the mother of God.
 The divine nature existed before the Virgin Mary. therefore she could not be the mother of the spirit of God. We can apply it in just the same way that we can to our own mothers. They have no part whatever in the creation of our soul, which is the noblest part of our being.
 Catholic young men and women consider her as the model to be followed throughout their lives.
 Tomorrow night will be the last ser mon of the mission and Father Roberts will take for his subject: Heaven" There will be the usual services tomorrow at 7:3( and 10 o'clock in the morning and 7:3o o'clock in the evening.

HUNTSVILLE HAPPENINGS.
Little Daughter of MT. and Mrs. M. P. Murray
 Dead-corn Selling Cheap.
Special to The Age-Herald.


 Huntsville, Jan. 21.-Pauline Murray the S-year-old daughter of MT. and Mrs. Mur- ray, died yesterday afternoon at the Low rey-Westmoreland infirmary Death was the result of an illness of several months. The funeral was conducted from the First Presbyterian church today.
 s. L. Whitten, president of the Southern Building and Loan association, has ad- dressed letter to the shareholders of the association stating that the meeting called for the 10th of January failed for the want of a quorum, and that another set for Jan. 26 will probably fail for the same reason. The meeting will be adjourned until the 9th of March, in order that share holders may make arrangements to attend.
 In Huntsville, corn in the bulk is selling cheaper than at any other market in the south. The article brings prices ranging from 25 to 30 cents bushel. This is ex- pained by the fact that large surplus crop was raised in Madison and neighbor- ing counties, especially along the river banks. A number of dealers have laid up large supplies of corn for shipment to other points.
 The chamber of commerce held its an- nual meeting last night. President R. E. PettuS review the Worh uurlng the past year, and recalled many industries secured to Huntsville that would have gone to some other city if the chamber of com merce had not attracted their attention here. He reported that great deal of advertising had been done, an average of one hundred pamphlets day being sdis- tributed in the north.
 In the matter of securing the Memphis and Charleston railway shops after the Southern acquires that road. it was re- ported that the citizens were enthusiastic in the movement and would raise hand some bonus.
 cellulose factory, canning factory and number of new cotton mills are among the things the chamber of com merce will go after within the next few weeks.

 Before the prisoners were led to their cells, Assistant States Attorney Pearson Police Captain Wheeler and several po- licemen, who had been most actively en- gagged in the prosecution of the men pressed through the crowd and congratu- lated Smith on the verdict. The prisoners little daughter and her mother were among the first to reach his side.

To lose yourself in this palace of glass Is just the opposite from hsing yourself in a strange place or city. There you enjoy your peculiar predicament, and you laugh as others laugh at your actions trying to find yourself out of the many twists and turns.

The colored Orphans, Home.

As president of the colored orphans home of the state of Alabama l wish to take this means of thanking the different merchants for their liberal donations of furniture for the home, and also the Eve ming News, The Age-Herald and South ern Sentinel for favors shown to us in this charitable work. The colored or phans' home is situated at Ayondale, and has been open for nearly two months, with matron in charge, and we want the public to know we are ready for chill dren. This work is entirely the work of the women of this city, and the white ladies are coming forward offering to help us whenever they can; are sending donations of clothing and different articles for which we are grateful. This is an or ganized association of the colored women of the city of Birmingham. who are begin ming to take more interest in the work As president of the work can say we are getting along, though in struggling way, with the help of the generous public.
 It is a work tending to save the chil- dren and young people that need our help, and I believe it has the indorsement of every good citizen, the leading white min- isters, ex-Mayor VanHoose, the associa- tions and conferences, the Epworth leagues. Christian Endeavors, Baptist Young Peo- ple's union and every good institution in this city. As president of the work, in and out of the city, find that we are rarely imposed on by men claiming to have au- thority, but they are out of order and from this date all moneys and donations will come in through Mrs. J. R. England, the president, 4O5 North Nineteenth street. I hereby call in all books. From this date there is no one authorized to collect any money on subscriptions or in any way for the Colored Orphans Home of the State of Alabama.
