DO Not suppress ~ Cough.

When you have "A cough do not try 10
suppress 1t, bat remove the cause, The
cough is only symptom Of some dis
ease, and disease is what YOU should
cure, then the cought will stop itself.
The most common cause of coughing
is II cold. Anodynes will promptly
suppress the cough, and preparations
containing chloroforIn, opium, etc, are
used for that purpose hut they do not
cure the cold. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy on the other hand does not sup
press the cough, but relieves it by re-
moving from the throat and lungs the
mucns which obstructed the breathing
and allaying the irritation and tickling
In the throat. II also opens the secre-
tions and eiTectually aud permanently
cures the cold rs well as the cough.

GEORGE STEVENSON
 RESIGNS HIS PLACE
SUPERINTENDENT OF THE BES- SEMER WATERWoRkS co. RE- TIRES TO DEVOTE FULL TIME TO OTHER BUSINESS.

Bessemer, Janury S-(Special)-George II. Stevenson, who has been superintend- ent of the Bessemer WaterworlIs com pany since shortly after the system was constructed, has rendered his resignation, to take affect as soon as his successor is named MT. Stevenson will in the future devote his time to the office of land agent for the Bessemer Coal Iron and Land company.
 It Is not known who will be appointed tc succeed MT. Stevenson as superntend- ent of the waterworks, although 1t is re- ported that a well known Birmingham man will be named.
 MT. Stevenson took charge of the wa terworks a short while after the first system was built. In the last year, under his direction, the company has construct ed one of the best waterworks systems in the state. Mr. Stevenson is also re- ceiver of the Bessemer Savings bank and in that capacity he has rendered some invaluable services to the depositors of the defunct institution.
 MT. Stevenson went to work imme- diately after the failure of the bank and in a few months he had gathered up enough from the ruins to nay dividend of 25 per cent. He is still at work on the matter and recently through com promise recovered $27OOO from one of the original stockholders of the bank. If he is successful in the suits, now pending, a sufficient amount will be recovered to wipe out the greater part of the sum due the depositors of the late Besscmer Savings bank.

PAPERS PERSIST IN
 PUBLISHING RUMOR
SOME OF THEM CONTINUE TO PRINT THE STORY ABOUT SAM UEL SPENCER ENTERING THE TENNESSEE CO.'S BOARD.

Although the report started in New York two weeks ago that Samuel Spencer would enter the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company board at the annual meeting next May, has been authorita- lively denied at the office of the Tennes- see company, many of the leading com mercial papers persist in keeping the rumor alive.
 The Iron Trade Review of this week publishes the rumor and on February 2 the New York Commercial published the following from its Cincinnati correspon- dent:
 Sharper competition for the traffic of the Birmingham, Ala, district may be expected. in which the Southern and the Frisco will be conspicuous participants. The former is said to be making it's ar engagements through the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, in which it is further stated, J. P. Morgan has been increasing his strength With a View of making Samuel Spencer, president of the Southern, a director in May to take the place of II. L.. Le Roy It is likely, too, that he will become member of the executive committee, when so situated and in view of tho fact that the Tennes- see is one of the largest producers in the south, it needs no great stretch of the imagination to form an opinion as to the fine work that will be done. "Other men connected with the Southern may also enter the directorate, in which case it would mean absolute control of the company and it's operations
 President Don II. Bacon of the Ten nessee company, when asked upon his return from New York if it were true that Mir. Spencer would become a director of the Tennessee, replied in the nega- tive. He said that Mir. Spencer's name did not appear among the stockholders, said there was no foundation for the re- port that MT. Spencer would enter the board
 Officials of other corporations here dis credited the Spencer -umor as soon as it was published One prominent official said: q know MT. Spencer, as pres ident of the Southern railway, could not afford to become a director of any iron industry on his line. It would, for ob- vious reasons. be poor policy for him to do so and MT. Spencer is not the man to make blunders in the matter of policy"

SHEET AND RAIN.
The Weather Was Horrid Yesterday.
 Pedestrians Slipped and Fell.

Even the weather is no respecter of per sons, for yesterday it knew that Manager Harry Vaughan was in the city and in- stead of improving it became worse, and "the meanest, most horrid day" of the year was the result.
 Not only was there wind, hail and rain overhead and around body, but there was hail, sleet and slush under ones feet, and it was just slippery enough to land some score or more of people on their backs right in the center of the pavement-fun for the onlooker but mis- cry to the actor.
 The sleet started in the morning about 10 o'clock and lasted until after ?, and the ground was covered with about an inch of frozen bullets. The weather was hardly cold enough to prevent the sleet from slowly melting, and it formed slush which was difficult to walk in and very bad on the feet.
 After 2 o'clock a slow rain fell for a while, and off and on during the after noon it sleeted and rained. After dark the slush froze over. making traveing most difficult for pedestrians and ami mals
 Several horses fell and were badly in jrred The firemen were living in constant dread all day that they would have an alarm or a big fire. It would have been impossible for horses to make any speed over the streets in the condition they were in yesterday and last night.

TWO YOUNG MEN CUT
 EACH OTHER BADLY
FIGHT IN FLORENCE HOTEL POOL [ ROOM BETWEEN ALBERT IRWIN !. AND RUBE PREDDY-LATTER IS l BADLY CUT.

"Rube' Freddy and Albert Irwin, two lwell-known young white men about town, cut each other pretty badly last night about o'clock in the pool room in the EFlorenee hotel. The fight was the result of a dispute over a game of pool which, dt is said, Freddy tried to break up
 As the result of the fight Freddy is at St. Vincent's hospital with three long cuts across his shoulders and down his back, and Albert Irwin is cut but less dangerously. Irwin is employed in the pool room. Neither has been arrested.
 Freddy was under the effects of intoxl- ycants and came into the pool room and interferred with game of pool which ,was being played. Irwin asked him to stop and he replied with profane language. The two commenced fighting and drew knives. | At the hospital the physicians had to take thirty-six stitches in one of the cuts in Preddys back. and few less in the other two cuts. The wounds are not fatal but they are serious.

Railroads Are Busy.

This month just closed has been one of the busiest ones of the past six with the railroad companies operating in Pratt City
 The increases in the coal traffic, pig iron and other commodities have caused the railroads to make some large gains in the number of cars handled
 The advent of the Seaboard over the tracks of the Frisco, whose main lines run through this city, has caused a material increase in the railroad business.
