Agricultural School at AbbeviIIe Max
 ing Preparations.

Abbeville, January A-(Special) )-Lee's S birthday will be appropriately observed in Abbeville. An interesting programme has been arranged by the Agricultural school, and no efforts will be spared to make the exercises a success. Gen. W. c. Oates has been invited to deliver an ad- dress, and all the veterans of this section are extended a cordial invitation to be present.
 The road foremen in the districts of the county are now at work on the pub lie roads. Quite a nice sum of money will be collected under the new road law and if properly expended good system of roads will soon be had in Henry. It was found to be impracticable to use the road engines and they are now standing idle, dead expense to the county. Five young mules are being used and the work will no doubt be satisfactory.
 Rev. J. W. Stewart of Evergreen preached at the Baptist church last night. On account of the indictment weather only a small congregation was present. Mir. Stewart presented the needs of the Orphans home. of which he is the agent.

Wooden Russia.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
 The vast forest areas of Russia in Europe, which cover nearly 600 000, 900 acres, or S6 per cent of the entire area of the country, are aptly termed Wooden Russia" Few people who have not travelled through this part of the country can form any idea of the coun- try's boundless wealth in timber. Houses built of any other material are entirely unknown outside of the great cities, and wood constitutes the prin- cipal fuel. The forest belt in Siberia. called the '"Taiga," stretches in a direct line from the Ural mountains to the Pacific for four thousand miles and is in many parts five hundred miles broad. This is all the property of the czar.

NEW HIGH SCHOOL.
Another Vigorous Protest Against Use
 of Common Brick Facing.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The question of High school building for the school children of Birmingham has agitated the minds of our citizens for a number of years. The writer of this article can recall the time when the highest school in Birmingham was in the old Powell school building on Sixth Ave- nue and Twenty-fourth street Birming- ham kept growing and the school was moved to Third avenue and Nineteenth street, up staEs and called the Birming- ham High school. After being domiciled here for several years 1t was found that this place would not accommodate the pupils and the building now occupied, on T'wtny-first street and Park avenue was

let their schools look better than our best one?
 We want our new High school to look as well as anything of the kind in the country, outside as well as inside, and to get this 1t will have to be built with something better than common brick. If the Board of Education has not the money with which to build and equip a modern high school together with the two other grammar schools, why cut out the building of one of the other schools for a time or cut out part of the equip ment of the high school Later on tho High school can be equipped as we'll as now, but if we put a common brick in the facing of our building it will remain there for generations.
 As a graduate of the Birmingham High school in it's present domain. for future graduates, as well as for the citizens of Birmingham not graduates of this scho I ask that the Board of Education give us a new Birmingham High school faced with something better than common brick. R. F. COOPER.

Inside Nerves.

Inside Nerves.
 Only one out of every 9S has perfect health. Of. the 97 sick ones some are bed ridden, some are half sick, and some are only dull and listless But most of the sickness comes from a common cause The nerves are weak. Not the nerves you ordinarily think about-not the nerves that govern your movements and your thoughts.
 But the nerves that, unguided and un- known, night and day, keep your heart In motion-control your digestive appa- ratus-regulate your liver-operate your kidneys.
 These are the nerves that wear out and break down.
 It does no good to treat the ailing or gan-the irregular heart-the disordered liver-the rebellious stomach-the de- ranged kidneys. They are not to blame But go back to tho nerves that control them. There you will find the seat of the trouble.
 There is nothing new about this-noth- ing any physician would dispute But 1t remained for Dr. Shoop to apply this knowledge-to put 1t to practical use. Dr. Shoop's Restorative is the result of a quarter century of endeavor along this very line. It does not dose the organ or deaden the pain-but it does go at once to the nerve-the inside nerve-the power nerve-and builds it up, and strengthens it and makes if well.

For Kidney Troubles

The Kidneys are the blood filters. They are operated solely by the inside nerves. The branch which operates them and regulates them is called the renal plexus. When the renal plexus is weak or irregu- lar, the kidneys become clogged with the very poisons they should throw off. No kidney treatment can clean them out or cure them and one stage leads into an- other until after a while the kidneys themselves begin to break down and dis solve. There Is only one way to reach kidney troube-that is through the inside nerves that control them, which Dr. Shoop's Restorative alone strengthens and restores,

NEW RAIL ROAD COMING
 DIRECT TO BIRMINGHAM

300 miles. The road extends from Way cross to Montezuma, and from Bruns- wick to Thomasville.
 "The distance from Montezuma to Bir- mlngham is in the neghborhood of 250 miles. The route for the Birmingham ex- tension was surveyed about a year ago. and while the present plans of the of ficials have not been made public, 1t is believed that the route surveyed at that time will be used for the new line"
 The proposed road passed through Tal- ladega and Roanoke, Ala; La Grange and Talbotton, Ga, between Birmingham and Montezuma. It will give direct connec- ton of about 450 miles to the Atlantic coast and insures another direct weter connection for Birmingham.

For Heart Trouble

Your heart beats more than ten thou sand times a day. And every heart beat is an impulse of the inside nerve branch called the cardiac plexus. The heart is a muscle, but it is the nerve that makes the muscle do the work. An irregular or weak heart Is, almost in every instance, the direct result of a weak or irregular nerve-inside nerve. To cure heart trou- ble, restore the nerve to normal. Dr. Shoops Restorative will restore the car diac plexus, just as it restore the solar plexus and the renal plexus. For all are equal parts of the great inside nerve sys- tem-the power nerves-the master nerves.

For Stomach Troubles

The stomach is controlled by delicate nerve called the solar plexus. Prize fight CTS know that blow over the stomach solar plexus blow-means sure knock out. For this nerve is ten times as sensi- tive as the pupil of your eye. Yet the solar plexus is only one of the centers of the great inside nerve-the power nerve. It is one of the master nerves. The stomach is it's slave. Practically all stomach trouble is nerve trouble-inside nerve trouble-solar plexus trouble. Dr. Shoops Restorative strengthens the in- side nerves-strengthens the solar plexus and the stomach trouble disappears.

For WomanIy Troubles

Almost all of the troubles that are pe- culiar to woman are caused by weakness of the inside nerves. There is no need to doctor or dose an ailing organ when 1t de- bends alone for it's supply of energy on the inside nerves. Inside nerve weakness, If not attended to, will spread. The com mon name for the Inside nerves is the Sympathetic Nerves" Each center Is in close sympathy with the other, and when one becomes deranged, general weakness and derangement frequently ensue. Dr. Shoop's Restorative gently tones up the inside nerves and removes the cause of weakness permanently and forever.

main. This connected with a twenty-inch
main that led to a condenslng engine, the
head of the smaller main being blown out.
They also found that there was a leakage
of gas and that 1t ignited from the lights
in the building.
AS a result the Investigation by the Off

ESTIMATES FOR APPROPRIATIONS
Statement Issued by Senate and House
Committees.

A statement was issued by the appropri-
ations committees of the Senate and House
today summarizing the estimates for an
propriations to be made at the present ses-
sion of Congress for the fiscal year 1907
The total for all purposes aggregates sso4,
296.415 These estimates are greater than
the appropriations for the current year by
19,170.155. The War Department asks
sS83, 1853 less than was appropriated last
year, and the river and harbor item which
last year amounted to SIS, 1S1. .S75 is omitted
entirely this year. With these exceptions
every department of the government has
asked for more money than the current
appropriation.
The two largest increases are asked by
the navy. $21, ,229. .0SS, and tho Post Office
Department, s12, 1877, ,976.
The estimates of the appropriations COM
mittees exceed those of Secretary Shaw by
nearly 500, ,0o0, 600, which is accounted for
by the fact that the Secretary of the Treas
ury estimates for the Post Office Depart
ment only that sum which will have to
come from the treasury for Its mainte-
nance, not including postal revenues applied
to the support of that department. His
estimate for the Post Office Department is
81, ,628.000. while that of the appropriations
committees Is $293, ,2l0,07o
