ISSUE OF BONDS BY
 THE STEEL CITY
ELECTION PASSES OFF VERY QUIETLY, AND THERE WAS NO oPPosITIoN-PoL COURT DOES A BIG BUSINESS.

Ensley, October -(Special) )-The cleo ton today on the $6OOOO bond issue rec commended by the city council for the pur- pose of building sanitary and storm sew craze systems in Ensley, passed off very quietly today. the result being S6 in favor of the bond issue and against.
 As there was practically no opposition very few citizens turned out to cast their ballots. Yet this should not be taken as a sign that the people of the Steel City are not interested in this important question of a sewerage system. This step means much for the general health and welfare of hustling Ensley and it is only one of the many self-evident proofs that Ensley is growing and progressive city.
 The council will meet next Thursday night for the purpose of canvassing the returns of the election

The question of why one man succeeds and another fails, is a problem that has puzzled philosophers for centuries. one man attans riches and position, while his neighbor who started with seemingly the same, and better opportunities, exists in poverty and obscurity. No man can win success who is suffering from an irritating and nerve racking disease and the man who has the qualities of success within him. would be quick to recognize this fact and seize the best remedy to eradicate the trouble
 A person afflicted with a serious case of hemorrhoids or piles is handicapped in the race for power and advancement. It is impossible to concentrate the mental ener- gies when this dreadful trouble is sapping the vital forces. To show how easily this success destroying trouble can be over come. We publish the following letter from a prominent Indiana man:
 ''When l received the former letter and booklet on Piles, their nature, cause and cure I was in a critical condition. Ulcers to the number of seven had formed on the inside of the rectum eliminating in large tumor on the outside resembling fistula. l suffered the most exeruciating pain, could get no rest day or night. Af ter reading the booklet I sent to my drug gist but he happened to be out of Pyramid Pile Cure just at that time. However obtained part of a box from my brother in-law and began their use. Five pyra- mlds completely cured me. I procured a box later. but have had no occasion to use them. l have been waiting to see that the cure was permanent. before writing you of its success I believe Pyramid Pile Cure to be the greatest and best pile cure on the market. and ask you to please accept my grateful thanks for this inval- uanle remedy. l take great pleasure in recommending its use to any sufferer along this line. You may use my name if you wish for reference to any one afflicted With this disease" J. o. Littell, Arthur, Ind

"As principal am recognized as

the highest grade male teacher Is my
first deputy. All Offices subordinate
TO the first deputy are held by boys.
''We have 500 boys, and among this
number are many who though unmis-

miscreants who, from lack Of self
