KILLED BY AN IRON
 BAR FALLING ON HIM
Stephens Watkins. EmpIoye of Con. tractor, Suffers Instant Death
 While Breaking Iron.

Stephen H. Watkins, Jr.. was instantly killed yesterday morning. while work ing in the yard of the Alice furnace, in the western part of the city. Watkins was employed by a contractor. who was engaged to break up iron near the fur mace, and at the time of his death had charge of a jack which was being used to jack up a piece of iron.
 No one was present at the time of the accident, and it is not known just how 1t occurred. The jack was quite new. From the bruise on the back of his neck 1t is supposed that the bar of iron struck Watkins, causing instant death. Dr. A. T. Henley was called and made an examin- ation of the injury, but death had pre- ceded him.
 Deceased was 21 years of age and re- sided with his father south of Red Moun- tain, about two or three miles from the city. His body was taken in charge by Gaudin & Loy, who prepared it for burial.

DouBTERs. Can Be Changed By knowIeduc.

If there Is any doubt about making brain power by the use of certain food. the doubter should make the following experiment:
 Helen Frances Huntington of Gaines vile, Ga, says Just a word of commen- dation concerning Grape-Nuts which I have found to be the most wholesome, nourishing and appetizing food that has ever come to my knowledge.
 I am not dyspeptics but being con stantly engaged in severe brain work I found that 1 did not thrive -on ordinary diet; even a moderate dinner dulled my brain so as to be practically incapable of critical work. I tried meatjuice. pepto- holds. the two meal system of light breakfast and no supper, which brought on nervous depletion and sleeplessness. so I resorted to one and another of the vari- ous health-foods which all seemed alike tasteless and valueless as brain food, until quite by chance, l had dish of Grape-Nuts food served as a dessert. liked 1t so well that 1 began to use 1t daily. for supper four teaspoonsful in a saucer of hot milk. eaten before 1t dis solves to mushiness.
 This point should be remembered as, after a certain time. evaporation seems to affect the sweet nutty flavor of the food as in the case of certain fne-favored fruits.
 The result in my case was simply as- tonishing. I had no desire whatever for sweet pastrys. meats. or in fact anything else; and my brain was as clear and act i've at night as on awaking from long. refreshing sleep.
 The peculiar advantage about Grape Nuts food is that 1t supplies the nutritive qualities of a varied diet without the bad results of heavy eating cheerfully rec ommend its use to all brain workers. if not as an exclusive diet. certainly for the last meal of the day. I always take 1t with me when travelling. which saves a deal of annoyance and discomfort"

A BIRMINGHAM
 MANS ROMANCE
Ends With His Death on His
 Bridal Tour
CHAS. FULLER IS NO MORE
Married Miss Lena Dobblns of Knox vile, His Old Sweetheart, a Week Ago and Died at Hot Springs
 Yesterday

Charles Fuller, a well-known young man of Birmingham who has many warm friends, died suddenly of hemorrhage In Hot Springs, Ark. early yesterday morn- ing. The hemorrhage came upon him about o'clock, and he died within two hours.
 MT. Fuller had been in Hot Springs but few days, and he was really on his bridal tour, although his main purpose in going to the springs was to take the baths.
 The death of MT. Fuller Is the tragic ending of a beautiful romance which found it's full flower of happiness in his marriage In Chattanooga week to a day before he gave up his life in the far Arkansas valley.
 On Tuesday, October 1, the Chattanooga Evening News announced the marriage that day in these words:
 "A pretty little romance eliminated in this city this afternoon in which MT. Charles Fuller, a prominent business man of Birmingham, and Miss Lena Dobbins. charming young lady of Knoxville, were united in marriage at 2 o'clock by Rev. pr. S: D. Logan. pastor of the Cum berland Presbyterian Church. Proceeding to relate the happy story, the News said:
 "The incident is tinged with an un- usual amount of romance. and the story of the romance Is perhaps the most in- teresting ever recorded here.
 MT. Fuller and Miss Dobbins have been sweethearts for over fifteen years, and fourteen years ago became engaged to be married. No definite time was set for the ceremony and the engagement stood for some time, when the two had a lovers quarrel and the engagement was broken of.
 This morning MT. Fuller arrived in the city from Birmingham enroute to Vir- ginia to see his mother. Miss Dobbins also arrived from Knoxville enroute to Geor- gia, where she intended spending several weeks with relatives. Accidentally they met in the central depot, and after cir cling around one another for short time, MT. Fuller approached his former sweet heart, expressing pleasure at seeing her again.
 Ol COuf5e, tue lCe OTCe DTOheH, IL WdS only matter of time when the old rela- tionship should be mentioned, and when this happened explanations followed. and everything unpleasant was put behind. They resolved upon getting married at once. and the arrangements were made prior to 12 o'clock.
 This afternoon the license was issued, and pr. Logan united the happy couple in marriage.
 "The railroad company kindly ex- changed their tickets. and they leave to- night for eastern points,"
 Instead of going east, the bridegroom and his bride travelled to Hot Springs, and there amongst the Arkansas hills death separated forever those two whom lovers light quarrel had. kept apart for fifteen long years. Few stories more romantic or more tragical in their ending than this story of real life are found in the wide range of fiction.
 MT. Fuller was one of the best-hearted and most generous of men; and his death causes great sorrow to his faithful friends In Birmingham.

slstent work there will be no doubt about 1t carrying the county.
 G. B. Burkhalter reported that on re- liable information beat IA would go for the constitution and beat 21. southside, would go for the new constitution by three to one beyond a doubt
 Harry Jones reported that beat S7 South. was in favor of the constitution, which was no more than should be ex- pected, as it had never yet been wrong
 D. A. Dudley reported that while some citizens in Bessemer thought the new constitution should have provided for a new county. he had no doubt that when they had time for mature deliberatlon they would favor the constitution. He had found few men who had expressed the intention of allowing their desire for a new county to prejudice them against the new constitution.
 The chair announced the appointment of F. H. Cabaniss as chairman of the press committee. and stated that he and Mir. Cabaniss would advise together in regard to the remaining members of the | committee.
 | After some other discussion and reports along these lines the committee ad- l journed, subject to the call of the chair | man.
 The meeting was harmonious one and the feeling was decidedly enthusiastic, and as far as could be judged from the expres sions of the individual members present, every member seemed perfectly hopeful of a good majority for the con- stitution in Jefferson County.
 It was announced from headquarters that Dr. R. NJ. Cunningham would speak in advocacy of the ratification of the new constitution at Pratt tomorrow night. and that Hon. John B. Knox, president of the recent constitutional convention, would address the citizens of Birmingham at the Jefferson Theatre on the evening of Oc- tober F, as stated In yesterdays Age Herald.
 The Shelley Letter.
 Chairman o. W. Underwood of the state Democratic ratification committee re- ceived the Shelley letter proposing a primary election at noon yesterday. but had not answered up to late hour last night. Mir. Underwood stated that he probably would reply to 1t sometime to- day, but he dld not indicate what his answer would be. He said last night that he had been so busy that he had not had time to discuss the subject of General Sheley's letter with the other members of his committee
 The Shelley letter was published In the Age-Herald yesterday. In substance it Is a proposal on the part of the anti-ratifi- cation committee to submit the question of the ratification of the new constitu- tion to primary election in which only white voters shall participate.
 The county organization of the anti ratification Democrats will be perfected next week. General Shelley stated to an Age-Herald reporter yesterday that a meeting would be held next Monday for the purpose of organization. and that at that time a campaign committee would be named and the work of building up sentiment against the ratification of the new constitution actively begun.
