Advertiser Bureau,
 Mobile, Dec. 8.
 J. Howard Wilson, President and Manager of the Mobile Light and Rail- road Company, Is doing everything pos sible to complete the inter-urban elec- tric car line to Magazine Point This road. which already traverses Toulmin- viile, Barker Mills, Pritchard, Whistler and Meahersville. will also pass through Plateau and Magazine Point. For some time the road has been completed to the Southern Railway Crossing near Meahersville. but there the work was stopped because of the refusal of that company to allow the crossing put down.
 Yesterday President Wilson received authority from the Southern Railway Company to put in the crossing. and early this morning a large force, of workmen was there to begin work. The road bed has been graded and trestled through to Magazine Point, and all necessary poles placed. The steel and ties have been distributed and a force has begun putting down the steel, while another Is stretching the wires. This road. when completed. will be ten miles long and prove great relief to the thickly-settled country to the west and north of this city.
 MT. Wilson was asked relative to the rumor of his company building an inter-urban electric car line along the bay front as far south as Cedar Point, about thirty-two miles. He said: T am not yet ready to go broke.'
 Continuing, he said he had not given the subject a thought He said. how ever. that ne had been seriously con tempiating the building of an extension of It's Marine and Broad Street line along the bay font for a distance of about three miles, but, in all proba- bility, this would not be done for couple of years. The section. said MT. Wilson, is growing rapidly, and in short time will warrant the building and operating an electric line for at least three miles. But for an inter- urban line to the south end of the county. such a thing could not be thought of for some years.

and will be subjected to discussion at the next meeting of the lodge. An option has been secured on the lots and the matter will be pushed vigorously.
 The plans drawn are similar to that of the Norris Hotel in Birmingham. the structure to be three- e-stories high with the lodge rooms on the third floor. and the opera house on the second floor. The first loor will be divided into three divisions. The center will be the grand entrance and a store room on either side. The project of this program order will be favorably received in Bessemer as there is a large number of people here who regu- larly attend the theatres in Birming- ham, and who would as readily patron ize a home institution.

The bill introduced by Congressman Bowie for the appropriation of s2s.o0o to establish a Ash hatchery in Ala bama has been noticed by members of the Bessemer Board of Trade, and if it Is pushed through, Bessemer will go after the location. The fact that this city Is so centrally located, coupled with the fact that there is an elegant body of water near the city, inspires the hope that Bessemer would stand a chance of securing this important Government station. The progress of the bill will be watched closely and on its passage an effort will be made by the local organization ao bring before the authorities the Inducements which this place is in a position to offer.

Vow to rest the noar

Don't be afraid to open the mouth
wide and yawn and stretch whenever
you feel like it. Indeed, If you are
very tired, but do not feel like yawn-
Ing, there is nothing that will rest you
so quickly as 10 sit on a straight back
chair and, lifting the feet from the
floor, push them out in front OF you as
FAR as possible, stretch the arms, push
the head back, open the mouth wide
and make yourself yawn, says Wom-
ans Life. Those tense nerves will re-
lax, the contracted muscles will stretch,
and the whole body will be rested. Do
this two Or three times when you are
tired and see what it will do for you.

S5,G0O,OOO FIRE In
new ORLEANS
Flames Swept Twelve Squares of
River Front.
s1,5OO,OO0 FIFE AT HOT SPRINGS

New Orleans. Feb. 27.-Fire involv-
ing millions of dollars loss in physical
property and that strikes a serious, If
temporary, blow at the immense eX-
port trade of New Orleans, swept the
river front and wiped out the vast
freight terminals of the Illinois Cen
trail, known as the Stuyvesant Docks.
Nearly a dozen squares of modern
wharves and freight sheds. two mag
nificent grain elevators, hundreds of
loaded cars and vast quantities of
freight. including 10000 bales of cot
ton, were destroyed, together with a
large number of small residences.
The ocean-going shipping seems
to have escaped serious damage. A
number of firemen and employees of
the docks were injured. Actual esti-
mates of the losses are impossible,
though they may exceed S5,OO0,000.
The Stuyvesant Docks extend from
Louisiana avenue almost to Napoleon
avenue distance OF IL squares. The
wharves between these two points
were covered with miles of trackage.
and steel and iron sheds ran the en-
tire distance.
The two grain elevators were OF the
most modern construction, the upper
one having capacity of a million
bushels. Thousands of bales of cotton.
several hundred thousand packages of
sugar, great quantities of cotton seed
oil and oil cake, lumber and every con-
ceivable variety of freighs filled the
warehouses and sheds. Practically all
the export business handled by the
Illinois Central was put aboard ships
at these docks.
The fire is said to have resulted from
a journal that had not been sufficiently
oiled. The whole plant was equipped
with gigantic water tanks and fire ex-
tnguishing apparatus. but the blaze,
small at the beginning, almost in
stantly got beyond control, communi-
eating through the conveyors to the
lower elevator and some of the sheds.
The response of the fire department
was prompt, but owing to the fact
that the terminals were not readily ac-
cessible. because of fences and tracks.
the engines found great difficulty in
reaching the flames. In half an hour
the fire covered two squares, the lower
elevator was practically consumed
and the fire was sweeping with ire
sistible fury both up and down the
river.
Fortunately Louisiana avenue is a
very broad thoroughfa and the
further spread of the fire beyond that
point into residence section was
checked. Between the points named
however. the flames swept to COM
plete destruction many cottages OF
the poorer classes, the occupants In a
great many instances losing all they
possessed.
During the fire a heavy wind blew.
and the blaze was of Understandable
fury, carrying brands to great dis
tanees. driving back the crowds OF
sightseers.

Element in this CO munity by public

observation is equally applicable to

from cause to effect, we are led to the
conclusion that the drinking Of intoxi-

ment are, in the order named, closely,
intimately and logically connected.
While it is true that any one of
these three vices may be found to ex-

those who have the handling of funds
other than their own we know that
drinking leads to gambling and that
gambling leads to embezzlement as
