Birmingham Belt.

The passing of the Mobile and Ohio into the hands of the Southern railway has served to renew gossip garding the possi- be disposition of the Birmingham Belt railroad. It has been generally under stood for the past two years that the Sea- board would ultimately. acquire the Belt line and utilize it to get into Birmingham. This impression was strengthened when John Skelton Williams and others inter- ested in the Seaboard purchased a large tract of land at Gate City about two years ago. but 1t is understood that Mir. Williams and his associates have disposed of this property to the Alabama Consolidated Coal & Iron Company. It is now stated, but upon what authority is not certain, that the Southern is negotiating for the Belt properties. The Belt road is a valuable property having a trackage of over twenty miles reaching every industrial plant in Birmingham and the immediate suburbs. Some improvements and extensions to the property are now being made, but there is nothing to indicate that this is being done at the instance of probable purchasers.

FORMS GIGANTIC
 RAILROAD SYSTEM Acquisition of Mobile 6 Ohio by
 Southern Railway TOPIC OF CONVERSATION Will Probably Have Little Effect on Birmingham District, But Will Make Mobile a Great Port-Gos-
 sip of Birmingham Belt.
TOPIC OF CONVERSATION

The acquisition of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad by the Southern Railroad Com pany was almost the sole topic of conversation in railroad circles yesterday. It is by far the most important railroad deal that has been effected in the South in a number of years, and means much to tho sections traversed by the two lines, espe- ciaMy in the states of Alabama, Misslssip- pi and Tennessee.
 By some it is claimed that the absorption of the Mobile and Ohio by the Southern will be detriment to some sections and great benefit to others. In discussing the deal yesterday a prominent local railroad man said
 Insofar as the officials concerned, the acquisition of the Mobile and Ohio by the Southern will have effect whatever. It is hardly reasonable to suppose that the Southern will establish agencies in Bir- mingham for the new line, but rather that work will fall to the agents the Southern now has in Birmingham It is doubtful if the changed relations between the two sys- tems will be felt at all in Birmingham.
 Will Help Mobile.
 ''Whatever the new conditions may mean to Birmingham, Mobile will profit by them The terminals of the two systems com bined will give the Southern better facili- ties there than could have been secured otherwise. It means that immense tonnage of iron, coal and other commodities for ex- port that now go to other ports will be di- verted to that city and there loaded onto rTtl.a bod ha,.I all export freight given it to Atlantic ports, but with its two lines now running into Mobile it is more than likely, in fact it is almost a certainty, that the Southern will handle every ton possible by way of that port. It will thus avoid the necessity of handling export business to Atlantic ports at the extreme low rates now forced upon it by competing lines. and by the nearer proximity to the seaboard of other sections shipping practically the same pro- ducts that are shipped from the territory of the Southern.
 "In this way the acquisition of the Mo- bile and Ohio by the Southern may result in advantage to this district. The great trouble, however, is that it lifts one com petitor from the lists of transportation companies, and places the control of the district in the Southern and Louisville and Nashville. which are friendly The Central of Georgia and the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham roads, 1t is true each has a line into Birmingham, but each reaches out only in one direction. The Central and the Louisville and Nashville have interests in common and cannot be expected to antagonize each other, while the Kansas City line has to depend on either the Southern or the Central for an eastern out let"

Yesterday woman who lives In the

that the spider had woven in his web
the words my Jim" on one side and

were as legible as If written by hand.
The letters were woven into the web
and were of the same substance as
the web, and connected with the spider
by the silken strings that formed the
web.
When seen later 10 tho day the wind
had blown the letters Murder partly

the words "My Jim" were still to be

The causes of summer catarrh are

impure blood.
Such being the case anyone who
knows anything whatever about the
operations of Peruna can understand
why this romedy is q permanent cure
for summer catarrh. It eradicates
chronic catarrh from the system, invig-
crates the stomach and liver, oleanses
the blood of all Impurities, and there

Between Steam and
Electric Roads.
Transfers of Tickets and PriviIe ges
Are to be Stopped.

BY a recent action of the Central
Passenger association, steam railroads
in the association will not be allow
ed to have anything to do with elec-
trio roads. This will have direct ef-
feet at Massillon, where the Valley
railway has maintained ticket Of
flee.
The Massillon office sold tickets to
Canton over the Canton Massillon cleo
tric railway and connections were
made for Cleveland at the Canton end
of the line. This is said to be the be-
ginning of bitter fight which the
Central Passenger association will
make against all electric roads. Com
petition has been particularly bitter
in this state between the two modes
of travel. Electric roads have prac-
tically cut the rates of the steam roads
in half for short distance travel.
Up to this time no open hostilities
have been indulged in by either party
to the grievance, but the war is now
declared and each will do all in its
power to do the other harm. 1t ap-
pears that the steam roads have been
the ones who have felt the sting thus
far. All transfers OF courtesy and
tickets may now be said to be off"

Rubber articles as an expression
used by the trade, signifies the pres
ence of far less actual rubber than is
imagined by most people. In the first
place pure rubber is valueless and
cannot be made into articles that will
wear without the addition of various
compounds and chemicals which give
consistency, different degrees of solid
ity, color, etc. The sharp competition
of the last few years has made it nee
essary to 60 little further.
Rubber which has already been used
once Is reclaimed, worked up with a
certain proportion OF new and fresh
gum and more chemicals and made
into articles which go back into the
market again. Pure gum is expensive
and the margin of profit much smaller
than was formerly the case and the
various factories are ever on the look
out for good rubber substitutes.
