ROSY TEACHERS
Look Better in the School Room Than the
 SallOw Sort

SallOw Sort
 Young folks naturally like comedy ob- jects, and a good looking, healthy teacher can do vastly more with pupils, everything else considered than the skinny, dyspep- tic teacher can. The instructor in Latin and mathematics in a young ladies' semi- nary at Macon, Ga., had an experience worthy the attention of any teacher
 She kept running down a little more eaesl year until finally a genuine case of nervous prostration set in and she was confined to her bed for eight months a perfect wreck, physically and mentally She and her friends thought 1t was due to overwork, but she now knows it was due to improper food.
 Of course the physicians were os..2d in. but there is almost nothing that can be done in such cases, except to rely on well selected food and proper care. ShS was put upon Grape-Nuts, all medicines, also tea, coffee, and iced drinks were taken away. She had Postum Food Cafes once a day. The larger part of her feed was GrapeNuts for this food is csat;e with special reference to rebuilding the gray matter in the brain and nerve cen- terS.
 The lady says: "T had been reduc-S to 95 pounds in weight when I began using Grape-Nuts. The New food was SO delicious and strengthening that felt new life at once. I have now developed into a perfectly healthy, happy, stout woman. weighing 135 pounds, the greatest weight I ever attained, and have a wonderfully clear, fresh, rosy complexion, instead of the sallow, bilious hue of the past.
 q never now have q symptom of dys- pepsia nor any other ache or ail Am strong physically and I particularly notice the strength of mind I never experience that tired, weary feeling after a hard days labor that used to appear My brain seems as clear and active at night as it was in the morning and I am doing twice the amount of work I ever did.

 MOST SPLENDID FAIR EYER SEEN
In Alabama Will Open In Bir-
 mingham in November.
COLONEL FALKNER'S PRIDE
In the Most Extraordinary Exhibits Of Mineral, Manufacturing, Timber and dAgricultural Riches Ever
 Seen in This State

We are going to have the greatest fair here in Birmingham in November ever held in Alabama!" declared Colonel J. M. FallIner yesterday.
 ''The State Fair as an exhibition of Ala bama's mineral, manufacturing, and tim Der resources is in fact already an extra ordinary success That is to say, we now have in sight material for remarkable exhibition; one which will attract national attention
 "The mineral exhibits will be rich to an unexampled degree. Alabama will have an exhibition of Alabama minerals far richer than any other State in the Union or any other country in the world can place on display.
 That Alabama mineral display at our fair next November will be so rich and in- dicative of such splendid natural wealth throughout the State that it will amaze even the Alabamians and astonish the country!
 Great Exhibit of Woods
 And there is not another State in the Union which can get together so rich and so varied an exhibition of woods as we shall have at the State Fair We contem- plate having log ten feet long of every wood of any value that grows in Alabama, and it will be wonderfully full and valua- ble,
 From the Farm
 There has never yet been in a practical way any real attempt at an agricultural display comparable to that which we shall have at the State Fair this year. State Commissioner of Agriculture Robert R. Poole and his chief assistant, Mr. Jesse Adams, are at work with the greatest en- ergy, enthusiasm and skill, and they are determined to make the most notable dis play from the farms eyer seen in Ala bamal
 All These Assured
 All these things are assured. The ques- ton is not now whether we shall have at hand the material for a most splendid fair; but that which will concern us most from now until the fair is ready to be opened Is the providing the best space for all the riches in display! We going to be simply flooded with wonderful material ex- hibits, and we shall certainly make the most of all we get!"

A NEGROES DOLLAR
 FOR SUFFERERS
The Gift of a CoIored Man Sets
 a Noble Example to
ALL WHO WOULD AID TEXAS
What Captain Bell Saw-Louisville and Nashville's and the Postal Tele- graph Company's Gen.
 erosity

A colored man called at The Age-Herald office yesterday and left one dollar for the sufferers in Texas Asked his name, he said that didn't matter.
 Just say a negro left a dollar for the sufferers!"
 That mans soul is white; and he sets a noble example to all the people.
 Captain Bush Bel formerly of Birming ham, but whose home is now in San An tonic, Tex, is in the city, stopping with his daughter Mrs. Charles H. Scholar.
 An Eye Witness
 Captain Bell is connected with the Treas ury Department of the United States Gov ernment, and has come to Birmingham to attend United States court En route to this city he passed through the Southern portion of Texas Sunday afternoon, just after the storm that swept that section and ruined Galveston had subsided He says that on every side of the road from Houston for many miles in every direction evidences of the fearful storm were visible. Dead bodies and wreckage were scattered everywhere.
 "At Richmond, Tex, the condition was appalling said Captain Bell. While pass ing through that city saw from the train window a dozen or more corpses lying on the ground, and hundreds of 41ouses had been torn down, the timbers being scattered in every direction. Those who escaped un- harmed only slightly hurt were doing all in their power to minister to the less fortunate; but it was job that could not be attended to in a few hours or a day The condition Ipd at rIx oil the other towns and cities along the South ern Pacific Railroad, though the destruction of life and property to that place seems to have been much greater than elsewhere along the line"
 Captain Bell will remain in the city sev- eral days.
 Freight Free of Charge
 The Louisville and Nashville Railroad will transport free of charge any articles billed to sufferers of the recent storm in Texas. This information was conveyed in the following note from Superintendent Newbold yesterday:

THE action OF the white men at Au-

retrsction because some one in the Of

umns of the Washington, d. O.. BEE,
condemning the lynching ola colored
man st Augusta, was 9 brutal exhibi.
ton of outlswry.
The mayor and other prominent
white friends used their Influence to
save his life. We were shocked TO
learn of this outrageous treatment Of
this Christian man.
1t is needless to say what we would
have advised Rev. DR.. WHITE to do.
he is follower Of the lowly Jesus and
acted "a he puts it, in the interest OF
his family.
We draw the mantle of charity, feel
ing that when the cowsrdls elements

of business, some of them with Us will
hear the bells "a-ringing" for the New

IT will be remembered that we d.
1ected attention to the case of FRANK
BENJAMIN who was charged with at
tempting to criminally assault two
white ladies in the front door of q
prominent white citizen.
We called attention to the fact that
such q proposition was absurd and that
no one but lunatic would attempt
such q crime at such a place.
BENJAMIN was sentence I'D to be hang
ed July l4.h, but Governor TYLxR las
granted respite until August 10th.
This was done upon the recommend a.
sion of Judge BAKER P. LEE. Common
wealth's Attorney E. e. MONTAGUE and
Drs. STYLL, ATKINS and ADD ON. A
commission of lunacy has b.en or.
aersd.
To hang BENJAMIN would be Judicial
murder, and the better class of white
people have not failed to see it.

where, according to q dispatch dated
yesterday, Kang WI, one OF the most
truculent enemies Of foreigners, has

1T Is feared that we are on the eve

Of murderous uprising are so mani
fest that wealthy Chinese are hurrying
from Canton and vicinity, taking their
wives, families and valuables.
Iii Hung Chang has again been per-
emptorily ordered to Pekin. His en-
emies declare that they will murder
him before he can reach there. His
presence alone restraints the reyolu-
tionary elements. His departure will
let loose the Black Flags and Red
Girdles. Knowing this, LIS trusted Of
ficers are sending their families to
Hong Kong.
"The Canton population reaches g.
10000, In addition to 100000 living on
5unks and sampans (flat bottomed
river boats). Most OF these people are
disafrected, and incendiary proclama-
tions are increasing the number Of
