MISS BISHOP ACCEPTS.
Will Assume Duties on Examining
 Board October 1st.

Board October 1st.
 Hon. H. c. Gunnels, State Superinten- dent of Education, has received from Miss J. Nicholine Bishop of Livingston, her acceptance of the appointment as a member of the State Board of Exami- ners, which hs rendered her. Miss Bish- op will be in Montgomery in the next few days to take up the duties of her re- sponsible position on October 1.
 Miss Bishops entry into the perform ance of her duties will mark a new era in the, official history of the State. It is the first time in Alabama that a woman has held a State office. The position was rendered Miss Bishop in recognition of the fact that over 75 per cent of the teachers of Alabama are women. The Board upon which Miss Bishop will serve prepares all the questions which are sub- mitted to all applicants for teachers H. cense in Alabama. The answers to those questions are returned to the Board for examination and decision on the claims of the applicant for a teachers certifi- cate.
 The Board of Examiners has not yet finished the work of grading licensing the June examination and Miss Bishop first work upon the Board will be to as- sist in the marking of the papers of the June applicants.
 The Board which Is now composed of State Superintendent H. c. Gunnels, Pro- lessor J. l.. Dodson and Miss J. Mich. olne Bishop. will, between now and the first of January. prepare the questions which will be submitted to the aspirants for teachers licenses at the January ex. aminations

anthracite coal strike being the only one that retards progress ana each "eeh ger shows some increase in output. faii ols- trbution of merGhandise has begun un- usually early, while the volume Of orders already placed indicates much the heaviest aggre gate on record. At the South and West conditions are especiaily favorable. shipping departments working vIporously and payments are promptly made. Traffic congestion causes com plaint, yet railway earnings thus lar available for September show a gain oI 4.9 per cent over last year returns anu lo.7 per cent over 1900.
 Official returns of foreign commerce during August show improvement In ex- ports over the two preceding months tnat was indicated by the weekly movement of merchandise and staples and imports far surpassed the corresponding month Tn preceding years. This liberal buying Tn foreign markets testlfies the well sus- tained domestic consumption partlcularly as to iron and steel. but imports of coal are abnormal and will be still more Of an element in subsequent statements. Relief comes slowly to consumers or cohe from the car famine although eacn week brings a new high record of output. The worst effect Is the increasing importa- tion of pig iron. Great Britan alone sending 70,0O0 tons during August while arrangements are now being made TOT re- mote deliveries. Steel IS also coIhlng III freely. German producers accepting orders at gradually advancing quotations. Esu- mates of the tonnage on the books or the leading domestic concerns fall little short of i've million tons covering deliveries nine months ahead, while new contracts for railway and structural shapes are constantly offered. The abnormal con dition of this industry bears testimony to the unprecedented expansion or ousl- ness in the United States and 1t IS un- fortunate that such heavy purchases abroad are made necessary by the inade- ouate supply of fuel. Recent advances in tin and copper were not maintained supplies proving fully equal to demands.
 New England manufacturers of foot wear are well occupied, new business coming forward rapidly. Leather is quiet. Large receipts of cattle at west ern markets caused a slight reduction in prices of packed hides from the record breaking figures that have prevailed. Cot ion goods are more firmly held as the raw material develops strength, and hghe stocks in first hands give the market ad- ditional support. Woolens and worsteds are notably quiet because leading con cerns have sold their entire production of staple goods. .,., ,oo ,,

STATE EXHIBITION AT FAIR.
Montgomery County will be Credita-
 hlY Renrersanted.

It has not yet been finally decided whether the exhibit at the Alabama State Fair in october at Birmingham, under the auspices of the Agricultural Depart ment. will be one large single exhibit or that it shall be collective exhibit of the States resources to which the coun- ties will individually contribute. It was originally intended that the States ex- hibit should be made up of exhibitions by the different counties arrangedI in one place, for which each County contribu- ting should receive its share of the cred 1t and praise.
 This plan of Commissioner R. R. Poole was communicated to leading farmers in all of the counties in Alabama. From many of these counties word has been re- ceived that efforts would be made to contribute a considerable exhibit From many other counties nothing has been heard. The scope of the State exhibit now depends upon tlB cooperation of the counties
 At any rate the exhibit will be a cred itable one whether the counties individ- ually do or do not make individual eXhi- bitions.
 In discussing the Agricultural Depart ment's part in the coming fair yesterday Chief Clerk Jesse Adams of the Depart ment under whose charge the exhibit Is being collected and will he arranged, said "It has not been fully determined whether we will have general State ex- hibit or a collective exhibit by various counties This depends upon the action of leading farmers in the various coun- ties with whom Commissioner Poole has communicated. A certain amount of space has been set aside for the Agri- cultural Department by the Fair Asso- ciation officers. We will, l am confident, have material for most creditable eX- hibit whether the counties do or do not take a general interest in the matter"
 Montgomery County will have one of the best single exhibitions of it's wealth and resources of any County in the State. The collection and arrangement of this exhibition has been placed in the hands of J. c McLendon of Naftel. who is one of the best known and most experienced farmers in the County. He tells me that he has sufficiently progressed with his work to feel assured that the County will be most creditably represented at the fair. A subcommittee from the Agri- cultural Committee of the Commercial Peck as Chairman. has been appointed to assist MT. McLendon in his work This Committee will hold an important meeting at the c. and l. rooms Monday morning."

ABOUT EYES.
Glasses are not Always Necessary

Parents are often advised to get glasses for their children by the school authori- ties who attribute the weak, watery con dition of the eyes of the child to some de- feet in the vision, and do not realize that the trouble may arise from the common practice of coffee drinking.
 A case in point, Mrs. C. F. Knapp of Elyria. O.. says, "Six montHs ago We were a family of invalids; my husband, myself and two children were all afflicted with stomach trouble. ' would get so faint before it was time for regular meals. and after eating had pain and distress in the stomach, which felt as though there was a hard lump in there I felt drowsy and stupid most of the time. It I was out in the wind my eyes would water so it hndered me from seeing.
 My son was the worst afflicted. His eyes blurred so they hndered his prog ress in school and we thought it would be necessary to have them ated. His teacher finally had him bring his reader home with word that I have him read an hour each day out of school. He could not read a paragraph without stopping to wipe his eyes or close them. We were great coffee drinkers, especially my boy but never thought that was the cause of our trouble until read an article on the subject in the Cleveland paper.
 We were discussing it at table one day and my daughter said, I know it is cof fee that hurts me for when I do not drink it I do not have that lump in my stomach My boy said. "A lump is noth- ing, every time I drink coffee my fingers pcickle just as though they were asleep. was both scared ard astonished al such information, and told them l had made the last cup of coffee I ever would for home use. I got a package of Postum Food Coffee and tried it for our next meal and we soon learned to like it and think 1t better than coffee.
 We have none of us been troubled with our stomachs since we commenced to use it, Our eyes do not water any more when in the wind, our cheeks and lips are red instead of blue or purple when we are out in the cold; the drowsy feeling has left and the prickly feeling has en- tireIy left my son. We use 1t twice a day and give it freely to my 20 months old babe. We find it better and cheaper than coffee. We cannot speak too highly of it's merits for we know we owe the change in our health to Postum Cereal Food Coffee"

RAILROAD ITEMS.

A Chicago dispatch says, that owing to phenomenal traffic. the Illinois Central Railroad is badly in need of equipment for freight. Unable to get cars which have been ordered. the management has taken a novel method of increasing it's freight equipment.
 Orders have been issued to assemble every discarded box car on the entire system and patch them up for emergency business. Hundreds of such cars are fit- ted up as houses, and dot the tracks of the Illinois Central track from Chicago to New Orleans, and from Omaha to Chicago.
 Before depriving the working gangs of houses and homes the management dis tributed tents to replace the box cars, and the tents will be used until new homes can be rigged up.
 A novel method is also being employed to replace the box car homes thus taken away from the workmen. All the dis carded flat cars on the entire system have been assembled at the various shops anG are being reconstructed into houses When ordered up and sided" the fiat car makes more commodious home than the box car.
 The substitution is costing the com pany considerable money. but it will add materially to the carrying capacity.
 The New Orleans Picayune says that the statement of Vice President Harri- han, of the Illinois Central Railroad that there was a plan on foot by which the Illinois Central and Southern Pacific would cooperate in the operation of a steamship line to Havana was a confir- matlon of the report which was pub lished in The Picayune some weeks ago. The ships will he landing at the Stuyve- sant Docks within the next month or so.
 It may. however, be stated that no definite plans have been mapped out for the management of the new line. The whole thing is under consideration. An early agreement is. however. expected.
 A Pensacola dispa&h says that as a result of the recent visit here of Presi- dent Milton II. Smith, Vice-President Walker D. Hines and Chief Engineer Montford of the Louisville and Nashville Road. it Is whispered among railroad men that work will soon be begun laying a double track between this city and Flomaton to accommodate the rapidly in- creasing export traffic.

rany shows that 1t appreciates the
value of the fair. by furnishing a car
and free transportation for bill post
ers over all its lines and by making a
rate of one and a half cents mile to
those who wish to attend. The peo-
ple ought to show as much interest In
this matter as the railroad company
for certainly they have as much at
stake in the matter of attracting new
settlers and stimulating the develop
ment Of our resources.
The railway company Is making a
special effort to attract people from
the eastern states, and there will like
ly be larger attendance Of strangers
this year than ever before.
This makes II a matter of business
for our home people to show up the
advantages and resources of the ter
rltory We need settlers and we need
capital. and the way to get both Is to
show them that we have something
worth coming for. But apart from
the business idea OF the matter. the
sports and amusements at the coming
fair will constitute attractions that
will draw people from every part OF
