Corporations and Annexation.

'T am satisfied that the citizens of the suburban towns will favor annexation but it remains to be seen what stand the corporations will take on this great oues- tion," remarked an Ensley man yester- day.
 "I hope the members of the committee will be able to get the corporations in line for unless these industrial organiza- tions are favorable to annexation 1t will be almost impossible to get Greater Birmingham bill through the legislature.
 Some of the suburban aldermen may oppose the Greater Birmingham move ment on the ground that they would be without office. But this view should not be regarded seriously. Every alder man in Avondale, Woodlawn. Gate City. Pratt City and Ensley would have a chance at election to the board of alder men of the city of Birmingham"

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in all
its stages and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cureis the only pos
tive cure now known to the medi-
cal fraternity. Catarrh being d
constitutional disease requires a
contitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature to
doing its work. The proprietors
have SO much faith in its curative
powers, that they offer one hun
dred dollars for any case of ca
tarrh that it fails to cure. Send
for list of testimonials. Address

ANOTHER STRIKE
It Is Twenty Miles From Soda
vile and STAMPEDE Started

Word reached this city this after
noon in the form OF a dispatch to H.
M. erington, Superintendent of the
V. & T. r. r., that a gold ledge of
great value had been found twenty
miles from Sodaville and in the direc-
ton of Tonopah, which is reported to
be the richest yet made in that visi-
nifty. Some twenty-five years ago
some float rock was found near there
of fabulous value and a great deal of
time and money was spent in hunting
for the ledge. 1t was found recently
and the gold will run into the thou
sands. The news of the find spread
rapidly and people are rushing in to
locate from Tonopah and points ad-
jacent. It is claimed that the find is
but a continuation of the great Tono-
pah ledge which is now regarded as
the richest on earth. Should this be
true the ledge is over forty miles in
length and will produce an output of
gold that will make Nevada the great
est gold producing state in the I'm
ion and no longer be known as the
Silver State.
The reports from the Nevada gold
fields have spread over the world
and are now as we'll known as the
Klondike.
Recently Mrs. Lille Langtry de
Barth who located some mines in the
vicinity of Carson about ten or twelve
years ago writes from London under
date of DULY 4th that she will return
to Nevada during the coming year and
develop her properties.

The Salt of the Sea.

Roughly speaking, if you take the
salt out of the sea water you deprive
it of thirtieth of it's weight. On
that basis one-thirtieth of the entire
weight of all the sea water in the
world is salt, and, as salt and water
are about the same in bulk, we may
estimate also that, by bulk, one-thir-
tleth of the huge mass of the ocean
is pure salt. What does this bring
us to?
Taking the 100000 900 odd square
miles of the five oceans to average a
mile and half deep, we have in them
alone 200.000,00 cubic miles of salt
water. A thirtieth of this should give
