AngLeSea.

The members of the Beach Creek
club were down recently and held their
annual meeting in the borough, provi-
ned by their rules and regulations to
hold one meeting each year in Angle
sea. Besides the members there was a
number of invited guests who partook
of the bounteous repast prepared for
them by the steward of the club, M. j.
Meagher. The club enjoyed themselves
immensely and had a very good time
in general. Adjourning to Mr.. Murnin's
house in the evening they had a song
contest for members only, which was
participated in by every member. Mr..
Murnin sang Old King Cole; Mr.. Nc
Clay, Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep;
Mr.. Wood, The Knot of Blue and Gray;
Mr.. Smith, When the Roses bloom
again; Mr.. Doerr, If you amt got no
money why don't come around; MIR.
Lanahan, My Pretty Irish Maid; Mr..
Meagher, Whiskey, Whiskey, How |
love Whiskey; Mr.. flanagan, She
was bred in Old Kentucky. The judges,
who were Messrs. Gus Hilton and
George Firth, were unable to agree on
the winner, they having both picked
Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Meagher as the two
best, so those two gentlemen were
called OH to sing again, when they
sang Mr.. Smith, the Lone Grave; Mr..
Meagher, AS | c drink from my pitcher
The Judges then decided on Mr.. Mea-
CHER. The invited guests then took a
hand and some pretty songs and reci-
tations were rendered. There was also

June Number of
Moman's work Reviewed


Club women in the city and in the state
will read with interest the following re-
view by Mrs. Caroline c. Lowell of Biz
mingham of the latest issue of Woman's
Work, the official organ of Alabama
women clubs.
Mrs. Lowell, in reviewing the June num-
Der for the Age-Herald complied with the
request of a number of the club women.
In most attractive form Womans Work
for June makes its appearance. Printed
on good paper, in clear type, and of con-
venient size, it appeals pleasantly at once
to the eye, and fulfills its promise of in
terest to come.
That its standard is high is unnecessary
to state Every line expresses aspiration
and the women's clubs of Alabama may
we'll feel satisfied with and proud of their
fedora TONS organ.
The paper is full of literary interest.
There are delightful articles on Rudyard
Kipling and Keats; an unusually good es-
say on 1.-THE Province of Literary Criu-
cism," and helpful and inspiring papers
woman's work.
Until September the paper will appear
each Notwithstanding its first years en-
gagement for twelve months Then, start
ing on its second year in September, the
club year of ten months will be Observed
all clubs in the south usually going into
vacation for the months of July and Aug
ust.
Womans Work was the outcome of the
federation meeting held last year in Selma.
Up to that time the federation had failed
In every effort to establish an organ of its
own, and had refused all offers of space
in outside papers with privileges of adop-
ton of such papers as the federation or
gam. Mrs. E. H.. Fitzpatrick became i'm
pressed at this meeting with the neces-
sity of having an official organ to preserve
some of the fine papers read by club mem
bers. Before the committee on the official
organ she pledged herself to especial eff
fort in the year just opening. Returning
to Montgomery, in conjunction with part
ner she set on foot an individual venture
for which the federation was to be in no
way responsible. After three months Mrs.
Fitzpatrick bought her partners interest
and became sole owner.
Finally feeling that her venture was a
success and self-support assured Mrs.
Fitzpatrick offered Woman's Work to the
Alabama Federation of Clubs. At the re-
cent federation meeting at Mobile vote
was taken on the subject, and her pa
per accepted as the official organ of the
federation.
1t is evident TO all who have observed
the birth and growth of this little maya
zine that it possesses vitality, for it has
shown marked and rapid development, and
promises to repay the care bestowed upon
it. Its editorial force consists of the pres
ident of the federation, editor in chief, and
all officers and charmen of standing COM
mittees. CAROLINE C. LOWELL.

There has besn a decree issued by the

way around the city Of birmingham and
the Highland Avenue dummy line around
the South Highlands, Is owned by the
Highland Avenue and Belt Railway COM
pany. But several years ago the Column
bian Equipment company in some manner
got a claim against the Highland Avenue

there has been lively suit in the United
States courts over this claim. AS stated
above, the court has ordered the road soid
next month in order 10 pay the claim of
the Equipment company.

-'You can say for me In behalf of the

don, who is attorney for that company, yes
terday, "that the road will not be sold
ON July 81 under the present decree. The
lower court had no right to make the de-
cree, and the road cannot be sold until the
court of appeals orders it,
Mr.. London would not explain just how
the sale, which has already been adver-
tsed, was going to be stopped, but he
spoke very positively on the subject, as far
as he went.
Jack Martin. attorney for the Equipment
company, could not be found yesterday
afternoon.
There have been a number of reports as
to what parties would buy the property
when it was sold, among them being that
the Highland Avenue line proper would
be bought by the Birmingham Railway and
Electric company, while the Birmingham
| Traction company would get the belt line.
| President London of the Traction COM
| pany and President Jemison of the Rail-

report and said there had been no agree
ment or understanding as to who should

KIDNEY TROUBLE.
The Most Prevalent, Dangerous and De-
ceptive Disease.
Thousands Have 1t and Don't Know 1

Pains and aches come from excess of
uric acid in the blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes
quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes
one feel as though they had heart trouble,
because the heart is over-working to
pump the thick, kidney-poisoned blood
through the veins and arteries.
Soreness or uncomfortable feeling in the
back indicates kidney trouble of no small
importance
The passing of scanty or profuse quanti-
ties of urine is a warning of kidney
trouble If you want to feel well you can
make no mistake by first doctoring your
kidneys
The famous new discovery. DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, is the true specific for kid
ney bladder and urinary troubles. 1t has
cured thousands of apparently hopeless
cases after all other efforts have failed.
