Proper treatment of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous disease
for anyone to attempt to doctor himself,
although he may have the proper rene
dies at hand. A physician should always
be called. 1t should be borne in mind,
however, that pneumonia always results
from cold or from an attack of the grip,
and that by giving Chamberlain Cough
Remedy the threatened attack of pneu-
monia may be warded off This remedy
is also used by physicians in the treat
ment of pneumonia with the best results.
DIR. w. j. Smith, of Sanders, Ala, who
is also druggist, says of it: II have
been selling Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy and prescribing it in my practice for
the past six years. / used it in cases OF
pneumonia and have always gotten the
best results" Sold by o. L. Long.

BILL IS FILED ID
 REMOVE SLAG PILE
MT. Johnson ofCoIumbuS, Miss,
 Begins Interesting Suit
AGAINST SLoSS COMPANY
Claims That Second and Third Ave. nues Are obstructed By Slagpile at Twenty-ninth Street and
 His Property Is Injured.

c. Atwell Johnson of Columbus Miss has filed a bill in chancery asking that the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron company be required to remove that part of the slagpile near Twenty-ninth street which is said to prevent passage along Second and Third avenues.
 It appears that MT. Johnson owns block of property beyond the slagpile, and wants the Instructions in the streets removed so that he can have thorough fare from his property into the city of Birmingham.
 The bill sets out that MT. Johnson bought block 511. according to the sur vey of the Elyton Land company, which lies just beyond the property of the Dob bins estate. This block lies between Sec ond and Third avenues. The bill further sets out that when the property was pur- chased 1t was bought according to the map of the Elyton Land company, which showed Second and Third avenues run ming for twenty blocks out of the city.
 Streets Obstructed With Slag.
 The complainant alleges that the Sloss- HdS tOllplSlSi9 pb- structed these two streets by piling im- mense quantities of slag thereon. He com- plains that he Is prevented from enjoy ing the benefit of the thoroughfares which were dedicated to the city of Birming- ham by the Elyton Land company, and which appear, on the map of that com pany shows that the land company sold the property now occupied by the slagpile and gave a quit claim to the streets The Main Question. It Is believed that the main question fin the case will be whether or not the land company had any right to these streets after they were dedicated to the, city of Birmingham. According to well informed lawyers a quit claim does not necessarily | imply ownership and 1t Is possible that the point will be raised that the Sloss-
 Sheffield company closed up these streets on Its own responsibility knowing that 1t cnly had quit claim to the streets at | that place.
 Several lawyers who were asked about
 the matter yesterday said that in any
 event the case would furnish an interest
 ing legal precedent. The bill and com
 plaint was filed by Cabaniss & Weakley
 representing the owner of block 511.

TWO BOYS REJOICE
 OVER HIGH SCHOOL
FORMER PUPILS OF BIRMINGHAM SCHOOL, NOW STUDENTS OF UNIVERSITY OF PENN. WRITE TO PROFESSOR CUNNINGHAM.

Prof. J. B. Cunningham, principal of the High school, Is in receipt of the following joint letter from Chester G. Sandman and Hudson Barker, former students of the school, and who are now attending the University of Pennsylvania, in ref erence to the plans for the new school building.
 Philadelphia, November 15. 1904 Prof. J. B. Cunningham, Birmingham, Ala.
 Dear Professor-We have notice in a Birmingham paper of recent date that rlans for the new High school building have been decided upon, and that thus cur long deferred hopes are beginning to re realized. We know that you and the High school are happy now that things have assumed a definite shape, and we wish to join you in your rejoicing.
 One of the most peasing features of the plans adopted is the provision for a gymnasium. The University of Penn sylvania has shown, in expending more than $30O,0O0 for her new gymnasium, that physical training has attained a permanent position in modern education. No institution preparatory or otherwise, can be complete without some athletic facilities, and we are glad that the High school is not to be wanting in this re- spect.
 The auditorium, however, is without a doubt. the best thing of all. Besides being of inestimable value as an audito- rum, 1t will insure that High school spirit which could not be had in any other way.
 We wish we could tell you how we feel toward our great university. If the boys of the High school had any idea what a cordial reception southerners are given when they come to the University of Pennsylvania, we feel sure that many of them would have little trouble in choos- ing college. Pennsylvania certainly stands among the leading universities of the country, and no one could make a mistake in coming here.
 With our best wishes for the High schools continued success and advance ment, we are, with sincere regards, yours for the Birmingham High school,

 J. HUDSON BARKER.

 Certain Evils.
