. FOUR MEN KILLED
 IN SLOSS MINES Ore Caved In After Blast and
 Buried the Miners, :. ALL THE DEAD ARE NEGROES Miners at Work In the Vicinity Made Every Effort To Rescue the Men,
 But Their Every Attempt
 Was Unsuccessful.
ALL THE DEAD ARE NEGROES

Bessemer, March 21.-(Special.) IA shocking accident occurred at Sloss ore mines this morning, by which four men, all negroes, lost their lives. The accident occurred at about 10:3O o'clock. The men had been blasting, snd after placing a shot had left the place until, hearing the explosion, they returned, supposing it was safe to do so. Suddenly there was cave-in of ore and four men were buried beneath it. The miners at work in the vicin- ity at once lent every endeavor to rescue the unfortunate men, but 1t was necessarily some little time be- fore the bodies were brought into the fresh air. Three were dead-Rich Battle. aged 40 years; Cornelius Da- wis, 25 years and Dan Preston, 26 years Burt Kelly, the fourth man. was still alive, but lived but short time. The men were working under John Moore, a white contractor. They were all new men, except Battle, who had been working in the mines for several years. The accident seems to have been one of those unfortunate occurrences for which no one is direct ly responsible In blasting constantly the men grow reckless and do not re- alize until too late the risks they are running
 The Sloss ore mines are located about a mile anu a half from Besse- mar and many of the miners reside in this city

THE HEALTH HABIT.
Just as Easy to Form as Any othe

Just as Easy to Form as Any Other.
 We do not deliberately form our pet habits but they are unconsciously ac- uuired and grow we grow. and by the time we learn they are hurting us, we find them too strong to be easily broken.
 Then why not form a good habit. a habit which will counteract the many bad ones in other words contract the unfash- ionable habit of being always well.
 Tho best health habit to get into is to have and keep vigorous stomach; if you have healthy digestion you can drink your beloved coffee. smoke your favorite brand of tobacco. with little or no harm; ; the mischief begins when these things are forced upon the faithful stomach, without any assistance.
 Form the habit of taking after meals some harmless but efficient digestive which will relieve the stomach of so much extra work.
 Nature furnishes us with such diges- tives and when they are combined in such a pleasant preparation as Stuarts Dys- pepsia Tablets. they give the overworked stomach just the necessary assistance to secure perfect digestion without any of the harmful effects of cathartics and similar drugs.
 The habit of taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals is neces sary to the weak stomach as food itself. and indeed to get the benefit from food eaten noth- ing better and certainly nothing safer can be used.
 Many families consider Stuart's Tablets AS essential in the house as knives and forks
 They consist entirely of natural diges- five principles without the effect or char acteristics of drugs they have no ca thartic action but simply go to work on the food eaten and digest 1t.
 Take into account your bad habits and .,, expense they entail and then invest eftv centsNin box of stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and see. if your digestion for the ,,ext month Is nut vastly improved.
 As,x the clerk in any drug store the name of the most successful and popular stomach remedy and he will say Stuarts

 Swamp-Root Cured Him.

The following testimonial from MT. C. F. Smith of Arrowood, Ga, is as strong as the English language can make it. He suffered so from urenic blood poison that his wrists and ankles were swollen to three or four times their normal size. For months he could not wear his shoes. Two eminent physicians treated him. but gave up his case as hopeless. Yet he was entidely cured by the use of Swamp Root. See what he writes to The "Age-Herald."
 "on the 12th day of May was taken with rheumatism, which developed into uremic blood poison. My wrists and ankles were swollen to three or four times their normal size where I laid racked with the most awful pain and suffering I was being treated by two eminent physicians (whom I knew to be the best, but my case was, as my friends all said, hopeless. At last I knew the end was not far off unless relief was at hand and as my brother had inisted on my taking Swamp Root. my wife bought a small bottle at the drug store and after the first day I found a change for the better l continued the Swamp Root alone by the advice of my physicians. and in all took twelve bottles when I laid aside my crutches and found myself well man. did not have on my shoes from the 12th of May until the 22d of September.
