Weak And Run Down-Pain
 and Insomnia. No etite-Foo od Did Not Digest.
Dr.. Miles Nervine Com
 pletely Cured Me.

Lucky the sufferer from nervous diseases whose symptoms are as plainly marked as those of MT. Powell, as given below. Too often the symptoms are mistaken for some derangement of the digestive organs and the wrong treatment administered and continued until too late to make a change beneficial. Too many doctors make the mistake of trying to cure the symptoms instead of the disease. Dr. Miles Nervine goes to the seat of the trouble, strengthens the nervous system, puts life and vlgor into every muscle, every fibre, every tissue, every nerve cell. There is noth- ing so good for the nerves as Nervine.
 About four years ago suffered from pains around my heart, and afsr the least exertion 1t would palpitate in such a manner as to cause me much distress. 1 had feeling of oppression in my chest, was nervous, could not sleep, lost my appetitte and flesh, had pains in back and shoulder my food did not digest and 1 could not eat anything without causing distress. My feet were cold at times and became exceedingly weak and all run down. tried ten different doctors, one or two of whom gave me temporary relief. Fin ally l saw that Dr. Miles Restorative Ner- vine was advertised to cure sufferers from such nervous disorders as mine and procured q bottle. 1 am now permanently cured and l cannot say enough for the Restorative NeT- vine."-H.

BUCHANAN WILL WIN
HIS FRIENDS CONFIDENT OF
 HIS REELECTION.
On the Other Hand Sam Parks Says F. F. Donnelly Will Be Chosen President of the Bridge
 Workers.

Kansas City, Oct 1.-Frank Buchanans 6 reelection as president of the Interna-
 uonal Association of Bridge and Struc- tural Iron Workers Is assured, according to his friends tonight, who lay claim to forty-eight out of the eighty-three votes in the annual convention now in session. Not until this afternoon did Pyessdent Buchanan make known his desire for re- election and then 1t was said that he had done so only after his supporters had insisted that he could win out. Tonight after he had succeeded in getting the convention to-day to endorse without op- position the bill of expenses presented on
 behalf of Robert Neidig. the deposed head of Local No. 2 of New York. and to or
 der his own personal expense bills paid President Buchanan expressed confidence in his final victory over Parks.
 Previously Samuel Parks had openly de-
 clared that he would fight the granting of this money. To-day he voted with the rest of the delegates to support the pres
 ident's claim. q am no knocker." he de-
 clared, and the New York walking dele
 gate made no effort to fight the bills.
 Tonight Parks refused to give any fig
 ures. but reasserted his claim that H.
 F. Donnelly of Albany would be named
 for president. The election probably will
 take place tomorrow
 Late this afternoon the convention set tied for all time the affiliation of the in- side workers with the International As sociation by voting that the Inside work CTS shall retain their charter. By a pre-
 vious act of the convention the inside
 men were affiliated with the international association but those who opposed the measure at that time have made bitter fight to have the convention reconsider the granting of the charter until the ques-
 tion was brought to a final vote to-day.

Mobile, October 1.
 Mobile. Oct. 1.-(special. )-Surprise was created this afternoon when a measure ment and examination of the concrete foundation and binder course in Royal Street, from Church to St. Louis. was made. few days ago J. Howard Will so. Prestdent of the Mobile Light and Railroad Company, filed with the Board Of Public Works complaint that the con- tractors were not coming up to contract as to concrete and binder course The specifications call for five inches con- crete and one each of binder course and asphalt. The Board made a proposition as to tearing up or going into the con crete. MT. Wilson accepted the proposi- ton.
 This afternoon Mayor Mclean. Commits sioner Brooke, Chief Engineer Hazle- hurst and Assistant Smith of the Board. representatives of the contractors, Mr. Wilson and his chief engineer, made the inspection. The binder and concrete was gone into near Church and Royal Street, also fin front of the market and Shaw hans stable in the car tracks. The measurements bore MT. Wilson out as there was a variance of from one and an eighth to one and half inches less than the five inches. In other places, outside the tracks, on Royal Street, however the depth held good.
 MT. Wilson claimed, too, that the con- crete foundation would not pass test be- fore the school of engineers, and asked the representative of the contractors if he thought so, but an evasive answer was given. In several places the concrete was found good on top but the lower part appeared to be gravel and dust or sand, without cement or other adhesive prop erty.
 The remains of Theodore Tiedman were inferred in Magnolia Cemetery this after noon, a large concourse of friends at- tending. The funeral took place from Trinity Episcopal Church, Rev. Edmonds Bennett officiating The pall-bearers were w. H. Newell, G. W. Morris, A. F. Ray

Neuro Normal Schools.

The wave of Vardamanism that swept over Mississippi should not be extended to Alabama The Yardamans of the land say the negro should not be educated, and when they say that they say that nearly one-half of the population of this state should not be rendered more productive.
 No one asks that the negroes should be given a high education at the ex- pense of the state, but while we vote large sums of money to open public schools for negro children, common business sense says we should pro- vide good teachers for those schools. Such teachers are to a man or woman negroes, and they are trained for the work chiefly at Normal, Tuskegee and Montgomery These three training schools for negro teachers affect the State university, the Polytechnic in stitute, the Girls school at Montevallo, the four normal schools and nine agri- cultural schools for whites.
 Good sense al-4 the peace and pros perity of the state should induce the legislature to deal fairly and justly with the three schools that turn out negro teachers. John Temple Graves will not be able to deport all the ne- groes in Alabama before 1907, and the legislature should therefore keep in mind the tact that the public schools for negroes need better teachers.
 The new electorate is almost solidly made up of whites, and Vardaman wave of revenge and radicalism would be wholly out of place and uneallea for Justice to the negro who does the rude labor of the state, and upon whose toll the prosperity of the state depends calls for fair play in the dis tribution of the school moneys. Give the three training schools-Montgom- cry, Tuskegee and Normal--a reason able share of appropriations, thus taking away any excuse for the charge that the new electorate would be un- just to any portion of the people of this state. In the last analysis the negro pays no small part of the taxes that flow into the state treasury, and he should be treated justly in the mat ter of public education.
