CONDITIONS ARE
 GOOD AT FLAT TOP Report Made on Subject to the
 Governor MEN CAREFULLY GUARDED Fair Supply of Air, Caution Is Ob- served In Shooting and Close
 Watch Is Kept on
MEN CAREFULLY GUARDED

Montgomery, September 26.-(Specla1)- J. | A good report has been made to the gov ernor of the condition in the mines of
 the Sloss-S Sheffield Steel and Iron com-
 pany, at Flat Top, where a large num- Der of convicts are worked. As whole the mine Is in good shape and the men ' are safeguarded in every way possible. | There is fair supply of air, caution Is observed in shooting and a close watch | kept on dust.
 The same report in another form has been given to Judge J. M. Carmichael, | president of the state board of convict inspectors. Both the governor and Judge Carmichael are especially watchful Of the mines where convicts are kept, as they are helpless and have to go where told. The report shows that there are worked at Flat Top now 168 inside state men and 98 county. Outside there Is one state
 man and ten county Inside day men are five of state and twenty of county. Both the reports were made by M. M. Kuffner, assistant state mine inspector, the one to the governor being in full as follows:
 Report to Governor.
 q inspected this mine on the above date
 and found very good ventilation
 throughout all the workings, there were 34O0O cubic feet of air entering the mine
 per minute, and it was very well equal
 ized in the various working places, but
 owing to the large area of the air ways,
 the current has a low velocity, but this
 will be increased when the new fan Is put in operation, which will be very soon,

 "The drainage of the mine is good, and
 under the present system of working, l consider the general security of life and the mine good.
 The mine at this time is reasonably damp throughout, thereby eliminating all
 danger from dust
 q was glad to find that no conyicts
 were handling explosives. this was
 move in the right direction and will give
 good results to all parties concerned. One
 great feature in the present system Of having shot frers is that there is some one who is in close touch with the men at all times, and not only act as shot firer, but supervisor, and timber boss as well. There is only enough powder and dynamite taken in the mine each day for that days supply, this Is also an ex- cellent precaution to the security of life in the mine as well as the general secur- itv of the mine, I was told by the fore
 man that these shot frers were practi- cal miners. and were very careful in every way.
 "Mr Wynn told me that the fire boss
 was well posted on gas, and made his examinations thorough.
 "I asked as to whether or not the pres ent system of working cut down the out
 put, or made it harder on the convict
 to get his tasn, and was told that If any
 thing 1t rather increased the output and
 made 1t lighter on the convict. asker this in view of the fact that 1t was not

Pain in the Head

Is danger signal, warning you that the brain nerves are exhausted-irritated, and are undergoing an unnatural strain. 59 Frequent and prolonged at- tacks of pain weaken the gen. erative power of the nerve cells of the brain, and lead to loss of memory, melancholy, spasms, epilepsy, and frequent ly insanity.
 When the brain nerves are weakened they are unable to supply sufficient nerve force to the nerves that control the lungs, heart, stomach and other organs, and these organs are thus robbed of energy, and unable to meet the demands upon them, and they get sick.
 Stop the head pains with Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills, and the influence upon your general health will be greater than you can realize.
 T want to tell you how thankful I am for Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. From a child l have been subject to sick headache, and never found any lasting relief until I received a sample of Dr. Miles Anti-P Pain Pills while in Geneva six years ago. By taking one it usually throws off my pain, so I can go about my home duties.'

THE BRYAN WAY.

We notice that q hustling grocer
of Bryan is advertising for all the
turkeys raised in Brazos county
this year. This may seem TO be
big proposition at first glance, but
when one considers the subject a
moment and realizes the magni.
tude of the market for this kind OF
produce, it is not such a big thing
after all. Doubtless the Rryan
merchant has, pigeonholed, enough
orders to more than consume the
entire output of turkeys in Brazos
county. He offers the top mar
ket price at the time of sale, and
since the price has been around
eight cents per pound for some
time, the money turned loose in
Brazos county for this one product
alone will run up into the thou.
