A STRONG LETTER TO DR. HAIL
stevenson,, Ala, June 6.

Stevenson, Ala, June 6, 1901. Dear Sir: I have been great snnerer from bladder trouble for two years and my case was of a very serious nature compelling me to have several painrul and dangerous operations. l have also taken many different remedies; l taken Swamp Root three years. Warner Sale cure two years, and they only gave temporary relief.
 After having two operations and pre- pairing for the third, I saw your Texas Wonder advertised, and purchased a bot tie. And I got almost immediate relief and have continued to improve every since.
 My doctors said my bladder had grow ed together in three places, and l was suffering almost death. No man living can say more than l can say for your Texas Wonder. And I call it a World 8 Wonder and I hope all who suffers will give a trial
 Wishing you success, I am,
 Yours Truly,
 w. c. DANIEL Sold by all druggists. P. o. Box 62e. St. Louis, Mo.

MIR. COOLIDGE WILL
 VISIT THIS CITY
PROMINENT PARTY OF FlNAN- GERS INTERESTED IN BIR- MINGHAM RAILWAY, LIGHT AND POWER COMPANY EXPECTED.

A party of prominent financiers inter- ested in the Birmingham Railway Light and Power Company are expected to visit this city within the next few days
 In the party are T. Jefferson Coolidge
 of Boston, Charles R. Spence of Balti- more, W. H. Whipple of New York, and Harry M Atkinson of Atlanta, all of
 whom are interested in Birmingham's s street railway system and other utilities | These gentlemen have been in Atlanta for several days and were entertained at
 a banquet at the Kimball House Satur- day night given by c. Jerome Simmons
 There were one hundred and fifty prom
 inent Atlanta citizens present and feli-
 citous speeches were made on the pro
 gress of the South. MT. Atkinson will
 join the party in Atlanta and come to
 Birmingham with them.
 Every member of the party Is also deep
 ly concerned In the welfare of Atlanta
 They were all instrumental in the con- solidation of Atlanta's rival street rail-
 way systems and of course interested in 1 the progress and prosperity of that city MT. Coolidge in speech at the Atlanta | banquet said that he considered the South | the best section of the country for in vestment In speaking of consolidation he said:
 ''The consolidation of the street rail- way lines of the city is a great thing | for Atlanta It was the logical result of conditions. The people wanted 1t, and
 the people will profit by it.
 'In addition to the vast amount of
 money spent in purchasing the railway properties that are now merged into
 one we are praparing to expend $500 900 | in the improvement of the tracks of the
 Atlanta Railway and Power Company. Atlanta's interests are our interests. | I feel that I am citizen of Atlanta, and | were the privilege extended me I would | take great pleasure in voting here, as
 Mayor Mims has so generously suggested T can safely say to you that the re- suit of the consolidation of the stree,
 railway and lighting companies means | for Atlanta a system of street railways
 and light plant second to none in the | country"
 | MT. Coolidge Is one of the foremost l financiers In the United States Besides | having money invested in Atlanta he has | investments in Birmingham, New Orleans and other Southern cities. He first came | South in 1888 and was induced to invest
 money in this section by Harry Atkin- | son and since that time he has made a | trip South every year. He is president
 of the Old Colony Trust Company of Bos
 ton which financed the consolidation of | Birminghams S public utilities

Vain, Idle Pledues.


 'T quite approve of that idea at we'd ding" said Miss Heron to a World re- porter, when seen yesterday at the home established near Metuohen, N. J., by her brother for the group known as "The Social Crusade"
 'I believe that marriage is away above all earthly roims; that there is some thing too infinite about love to be meas- ured by earthly riedges-vain, idle pledges, which are so often broken. What do suc1 vows count for if two hearts are ahIe with love which knows no express sion from the bps2
 There. has been much opposition in Metuchen to the establishment of a So- cialst colony there, and it is generally known that little favor is felt among the churchmen for the new form of marriage" adopted by the Herrons When Miss Heron was asked if she had been made acquainted with such dissat- isfaction on the part of the town people she calmly replied:
 Well, believe I have heard of some one of the local pastors, the Rev. Dr. haSOnt Ol the fTeSDyleTldn CnuTCDs 6A- pressed opposition to the new marriage but since hearing that I have heard him deny that he had made any such remark. Anyhow, it makes very little differ ence to me. So long as I know that my views of marriage are right 1t Is a mat ter of total indifference to me what neighhors may say. Any opposition here among the ministers or the town people would certainly have very little weight with me. They have the right to think as they please and I shall reserve the same right for myself.
 Sweetheart a Socialist.
 Miss Heron said that the man she is to marry Is himself Socialist, and has been a conspicuous agitator of the prin- ciples of socialism all his life. "Dr. Berghall is practising physician in Manstee, Mich.," she said. "Ie is 42 years old and am 35. Dr. Berghall is a native of Sweden, and he is an exile from Russia Sweden, I don't exactly know which. He was sent away because of his activity in promulgating the doctrines | of socialism. He came to this country, l settled in New York and afterward went West. I met him there and have known him for quite awhile"
 No date has been fixed for the we'd ding and few of the details have been agreed upon, but Miss Heron says she will probably ask the same minister who attended her brothers union with Miss Rand to be present. The Rev. William T. Brown simply stood by at the Her ron-Rand wedding and heard each of them say We intend to live together hereafter as man and wife" Then he made a few remarks in the nature of a | prose poem.
 Defends Her Brother.
 Nobody can say that my brother was not legally married" said Miss Heron. commenting upon the new form of ceremony which was made all the more striking because of the divorce which | Professor Herron's first wife had ob- tained and because of his stormy TO- nance with Miss Rand
 Critics of my brother are simply be- hind the times" Miss Heron continued. His views about marriage and social ism will yet be generally accepted

MARRIAGE ABOVE

Sister of Social Crusader to

Miss Margaret Herrons Views on the Marriage Question Are Interest Ing People of New York.
 Is to Wed pr. BerghaII

New York, November 10.-(Special.)- Miss Margaret Evelyn Heron, sister of Prof. George D. Heron, the Socialistic agitator, has announced her engagement to marry Dr. Henri Werner Berghall of Manistee. Mich, and the wedding will be conducted on the same plan which made sensational the marriage of Prof. Heron to Miss Carrie Rand his disci- pie and affinity"
 Miss Heron is a firm believer in what she terms, "the new and simple form of marriage" which is without the ex- change of the usual matrimonial VOWS and with none of the ritual or the formulas of the church. She heartily ap- proves of the way her brother espoused Miss Rand, on which occasion the Rev. William T. Brown of Plymouth Congre- gational church, Rochester, said: This Is the time and the place tor the muse of a poet, the speech of a god. The office of priest and magistrate were an intrusion hero

AMERICAN COTTON
 GOODS ARE WANTED
Europe Fears Competition With
 Our Trade
REPORT OF BRITISH AGENT
English Goode Arc Too High in Price Due to the Fact That They Are "Pure Sized" No
 Adulterants.

Washington, November 10.-(Special J. The competition of American cotton man. ufacturers in the markets of the world is attracting considerable attention among the great cotton manufacturing countries of Europe, as is indicated by the following extracts from a paper re- gently read at meeting of British cot ton manufacturers by the British Com mercial Agent in the United States. The paper itself was considered so important that portions of it were forwarded to the commercial intelligence branch of the Board of Trade of London, and that body announces that it may be examined by those interested "any day between the hours of 10 a. m. and 5 p. m
 Extracts from this discussion of Amer ican cotton manufacturing have been re- ceived by the treasury bureau of statis- tics as follows:
 Speaking broadly, the standard makes of American cotton fabrics may be sold to limited extent in most foreign coun- tries, and in some few markets they can be disposed of in considerable volume notably China and MeXico-however 1t can be positively stated that In the great CT number of foreign trade centers our goods are too high in price. due princi- pally to the fact that they are 'pure sized,' 1. e., they are only given such treatment in the slashing process. as will enable them to be easily woven. no at tention being given to the addition of adulterants as such. I am now speaking specifically of brown goods; the aggregate trade in this class of merchandise being very large"

Have Necessary Data.

Have Necessary Data.
 Having the data, which as manufact- urers we should need in order to produce the goods, one would naturally carefully examine the particulars to discover if any radical changes would have to be made in the machinery or equipment of the mill, to enable one to produce them.
 Having in mind many of our north ern mills, and the large proportion of the factories of the Southern States that are organized and equipped to manufacture coarse, heavy fabrics, it can be said that with a few inexpensive additions to the apparatus for mixing and storing the size, the heavily and medium-sized grey goods, so largely purchased by non-manufactur- ing nations. can be made satisfactorily and profitably, and at competitive cost.
 Such fabrics contain a maximum of raw materials (cotton and size), and a minimum of labor Is required in their production. Present conditions in the in- dustrial centres of the South are more l favorable for their remunerative manu- facture than in any other manufacturing country In the world, with which we shall have to compete immediately we step outside our domestic markets to dis pose of the product of our looms.
 Exceptionally hard twisted warp yarns are the rule in American mills al- though every unnecessary turn of twist put Into yarn means an unavoidable ex- penditure and loss of production It is also surely known to many of you that no small quota of our mills use a much better grade of cotton than is really nec- essary to produce a good merchantable fabric, which will compare favorably with similar goods made by European competitors.

Must Enlarge Outlets.


 'To one who has closely watched the development and progress of our cotton manufacturing industry during the past few years, 1t Is so palpably obvious that we must very soon enlarge the present outlets for our goods, or with our rap- idly expanding productive capacity, have our business periodically suffer from dis astrous over-production and trade stag nation, and 1t must never be forgotten that the vital prosperity of almost every member of this body are involved in the prosperity of the cotton industry.
 'In a paper on Latin American Trade in Cotton Fabrics" which I recently pre- sented to you, the construction of the standard English print cloth Is given. Comparison will show that it differs in the two very essential particulars of width and weight from the standard Amdican fabric. If our printers had similar goods, their export trade could be very considerably augmented, espe- cially if their colors and designs met the taste of ttt export trade. The cotbon us while we keep on building new mills and enlarging existing ones at a great rate and meanwhile we are doing prac- tically nothing at all to enlarge our mar ket for the goods made by these additions to our industry"

D. A. Ragan of Leesburg, Ga., is in search of information that will lead to the discovery of the heirs of J. w. Jack son ,who recently died in Georgia. He has written a letter to Colonel R. F.. Ligon, Clerk of the Alabama Supreme Court, stating that J. W. Jackson had three brothers and one sister who lived in Montgomery County, but he believes they are dead. He desires to know if these brothers and the sister of J. W. Jackson left any heirs.
 "J W. Jackson died few days ago and left an estate, said to be worth $35ooo." writes Mir. Ragan. "He had three brothers and one sister who lived in Montgomery County, Alabama. The names of the brothers were Bedney Franklin Jackson, Arillius Jackson and Sidney Jackson. His sisters maiden name was Mary Daniel Jackson. She married a man named Woodget. She had a daughter named Mary Woodget. One of the brothers had a son named John W. Jackson. We know that all of the brothers and the sisters are dead, but we want to find their legal heirs."
 Mir. Ragan concludes his letter by re- questing Colonel Ligon to place any of the heirs of the Jackson family in com munication with himself or J. D. Jack son at Leesburg, Ga.
 Colonel Ligon says he will appreciate any information on the subject

THE SPANISH MASTS
TO THE CAPITOL
 SHOW GREAT INTEREST.
Plans for Raising the Masts Have Not Been Perfected, But Will Be Discussed Probably
 This Week.

There were many visitors to the State Capitol yesterday and the great mast of the Spanish war vessel Don Juan de Aus tria attracted the most interested at- tention.
 Tt Is really worth the entire trip from the West to see this historic mast" said a woman from Iowa when the history of the mast was explained to her. She and her companion, a fine looking Wes- tern gentleman, spent more than an hour looking over the big piece of timber.
 Captain A. G. Forbes. who represented the Street Fair Association in having the mast shipped to Montgomery said yes- terday that as yet the arrangements for the formal raising of the mast have not been perfected Captain Forbes hopes that Captain R. r. Hobson and General Joe Wheeler will be present, but he said nothing could be done until the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Fair Association.
 This meeting. he said. would probably be held some evening this week and af- ter that meeting he would be in a po- sition to give more definite information as to the ceremonies attending the rais- ing of the masts.
