GOOD WOMAN GONE.
Mrs. W. A. Collier Died in Infirmary
 at Nashville.

Clanton, Aug. T-(Special. )=-The sad in- telligence of the death of Mrs. A. R. Collier, wife of Colonel William A. Col Tier, reached here Sunday morning. Colo mel and Mrs. Collier and family were visiting several summer resorts in Ken lucky and Tennessee and Mrs. Collier was taken i'll while at Hygeia Springs, Tenn. She was at once removed to an infirmary at Nashville where every attention and effort known to skilled physicians was made to save her life. At first it was thought that she would recover, but last Saturday she became worse and died about Il o'clock Saturday night, there be- ing at her bedside her husband, daughter and granddaughter. Her death was at- tributed to an affection of the heart from which trouble she had suffered for some time.
 The remains, accompanied by the family and several friends from Birmingham reached Clanton Sunday evening and were met by a large number of sym pathizing friends. The funeral occurred this afternoon at o'clock from the Bap- tist Church of which she had been a consistent member for twenty-five years, and the remains were inferred in the cemetery by the side of her beloved daughter, the late Mrs. Zella Givhan. The funeral ceremonies were conducted by Dr. W. G. Curry pastor of her church. The following gentlemen acted as pail bearers, Tipton Mullins. J. P. VanDer- veer, w. T. Callen. w. H. Sartor. N, A. Kicker, w. H. Foshee, J. M. Morgan and G. Higgins.
 But few deaaths have occurred that caused such profound sorrow as did that of Mrs. Collier. All places of business were closed and practically the entire | town accompanied the remains to tho cemetery. Mrs. Collier leaves bereaved husband, Colonel William A. Collier, and two daughters, Mrs. l.. E. Gullahorn and Miss Alice Collier, and several grand children. She has resided in Birmingham and Clanton for the past twenty-five years spending most of the time at this place. In Birmingham she was promi- nent member of the First Baptist Church and was widely known for her many acts of charity and deeds of kindness. In passing through Birmingham Sunday | evening many of their friends met the | train and etended sympathy to the family, ! several joined them in their said journey to this place. Mrs. T. A. Patton, sis 1 ter of Mrs. Collier, Mir. and Mrs. S. P. Housman and others of Birmingham and Dr. J. M. Collier of Troy, Ala, brother of Colonel Golfers reached clanton in

An Old Proverb With a New Appli-
 cation.

The woods are full of "so-callod" reme- dies for Badness
 You may call anything in creation a remedy, but to use them is like locking the stable after the horse is stolen.
 Badness and Dandruff are caused by germ-if you don't kill the germ the germ will kill the hair.
 Scientists have labored with the prob lem of preventative for Badness for many years.
 Newbro's Herpcide is the product Of a modern idea, and will cure Dandruff and prevent Badness because germs cannot exist when you apply Herpicide.
 Herpicide is a valuable hair dressing and scalp disinfectant as well as a cure for Dandruff.

 Greensboro, Aug. 17.-(Special.) )-The cotton crop is the all absorbing topic in this section, just now. Much anxiety is felt owing to the fact that several crop failures in succession, made the past an exceptional one, and many say, another failure looks like starvation.
 In this section the farmers say, cotton is a month late this year. On many plantations too much rain has done dam age, while in the lower part of the coun- ty about Whitsitt, the cry is for more rain.

 Mr. Starr said he still favored the pas sage of such law but 1t had not met with the approval of the bar nor of other citizens and on this account he expected he would not bring the matter to the at- tention of the Legislature.
 A peculiar incident is now made public, Notices were published in local newspa- pers that the bill to create an inferior court would be introduced during the September session of iaw-makers and 1t has been generally supposed that the ad- vertisement was made at the instance of Mir.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, June 3.-The recovery
again to-day by the stock market from
an opening depression and disregard of
some of the bad news of the day,
seemed to give a fresh demonstration
that a stable basis of prices had been
reached and after midday the price
level was lifted quite substantially.
But when the professional operators
commenced to take their profits in the
last hour of the session, the days gains
melted away in short order and last
prices generally show net losses. The
opening setback was due to the report
ed threat of a strike by the anthracite
coal miners unless the refusal of the
operators to accept the miners repre-
sentatives on the Cancellation board
should be rescinded. The resulting
decline in prices reached a point or
over not only for several of the coalers,
but for other leadingg representative
railroad stocks. ST. Paul, which con-
tinued to be accepted as the index of
the market, ran off 11sc. 1t became
manifest at the decline that the short
interest was availing itself of the OPP
portunity to cover and at the same time
support was in the market as on yes
terday. A party of professional trad
ers, seeing the direction Of things, com
menced to buy and bid up stocks in an
effort to take away the market from
the shorts. A sharp recovery in the
Canadian group from yesterdays de-
moralized break helped the movement.
ST. Paul was carried 1850 over last
night in the course of the movement.
Many other gains of point or more
were achieved before the final setback
occurred. The comment by officials of
the coal roads on the labor situation
revealed a rather conciliatory spirit
and an apparent willingness to negou
ate the dispute, and on this the coalers
made vigorous recoveries. The heavy
engagements of gold for outgo to-mor-
row seemed to be ignored as the call
money market continued very easy.
Renewed selling of stocks during The
last hour converged on Pennsylvania,
carrying that stock down to a parity
with the low level of the movement at
1854. Prices broke to below last nights
level all around, but steadied slightly
just at the close.

the bulls met little opposition, prices

At this point demand fell off and
there was enough realizing to impart
