LARGE CAR WORKS
 FOR THIS DISTRICT American Car 6 Foundry Co
 Has Matter Up AFTER A SUITABLE SHE Something Like a 1oe-Aere Tract Is Wanted--WeII Known Representa-
 tive of the Company Is

AFTER A SUITABLE SHE

The American Car and Foundry com pany, capitalized at $60,0OO,oo0. will prob ably break ground on a million dollar plant in the Birmingham district within the next few months.
 M. E. Duncan, who is connected with that company and whose headquarters were in Birmingham a few years ago. arrived here yesterday for the purpose of looking up a suitable site.
 American Car and Foundry company's project to build plant here said Mir Duncan, 'is that am to look over the situ- ation, get an option on a site and make a report which will be considered by the directors in September The company has been thinking for some time of erecting plant in the south, but only now has the matter been taken up seriously.
 "A large site is needed-something like a hundred acres. The company could do with less than 100 acres but would prefer that much land. Should the company build in this district, box cars would be manufactured at the start; later on com- posite cars and steel cars would be turned out The industry would employ at the beginning about 800 men and the number would be increased to 1200."

 eminent satisfaction in Wabash circles and in railroad circles generally. MT. Cot ter is only 36 years of age and he has three brothers holding prominent posi- tions in the railroad world. His brother William is general manager of the Pere Marquette system and was manager of the Missouri Pacfc-Iron Mountain under the Russell Harding regime. Stephen Cot ter entered the Wabash service in 1S86 as clerk to the trainmaster at Litchfield. For three years he filled the positions of clerk, operator and dispatcher, respectively. and fin 1889 he came to St. Louis headquarters as secretary to General Superintendent Magee. In 1890 he was appointed chief clerk to the general superintendent, and filled the position for several years. In 1900 MT. Cotter was appointed fuel agent of the Wabash, succeeding George Burns. Two years later he was appointed super intendent of the eastern division, at Peru, Ind, and in 1904 he was transferred to Decatur as superintendent of the middle division. He now returns to St. Louis as the general superintendent of the system, and it is admitted on all sides that he is in every way well qualified for the posi- ton to which he is called by the new management of the Wabash.

BOARD OF REVENUE ADJouRNs.
No Action Taken on Petitions for New
 Roads in the County.

After drawing all the jurors for the fall terms of the criminal court the Board of Revenue adjourned yesterday until Tues day It will then draw juries for the circuit and city courts.
 Several petitions for new roads have been received by the board within the last few days. but they will not be acted on at present. The supervisors are now going over all the thoroughfares of the county and at the end of their investiga- tion will make such recommendations for new roads as they think advisable. The macadam fund of the county is only sufficient to keep all the present roads in good condition. It Is for this reason that action on the petitions will be post poned.
 When the fall taxes are available in October the board will probably grant numerous petitions for roads. Until then no action will be taken in regard to new highways.

Prof. T. c. Young and Prof. A. A. Lyon are making good headway taking the school census of Birmingham. They are being assisted by the principal of the negro high school, who is gathering data concerning the number of negroes of school age within the limits of the city.
 The census takers will not be able to finish the work of canvassing the resi- dence districts and gathering informa- ton until some time in August, and then 1t will require two weeks or more to tab- uiate the figures The men engaged in the work are ascertaining the name of every child between the ages of 10 and 20 years. and also the name and residence of their parents or guardians.
 The results of the school census will probably have some effect on re-arranging the school districts, which will be deter mined at meeting of the Board of Ed

The Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company is about to blow in it's three zidle furnaces, two at Bessemer and one at Oxmoor. All of the Ensley furnaces, six in number, are in operation. The five old furnhees at Ensley have been in blast continuously for a long time. and a few months ago the sixth stack was com pleted and lighted. The latter is a mann moth affair and has made some fine rec ords-one day 4Os tons and another day 401 tons

How to Get We'll.

Every organ of the body is directly connected with the brain by nerves. The nerve cells in the brain generate nerve force-power-and send it to the organ through these nerves, and this nerve-force gives life and action. The or gans work perfectly when there IS sufficient nerve power. Lack of nerve force weakens the ac- ton of an organ and it works imperfectly-becomes sick.
 Two-thirds of all sickness is thus due to weak or deranged nerves; it is therefore advisa- ble to take Dr. Miles Restor- ative Nervinc, because it makes nerve energy.
 When you cure the nerves you remove the cause, and that's the way to get well.
 .Dr Miles Restorative Nervine cured me Of nervous prostration after every other effort had failed to givc me relief. My trouble seemed to begin with a general loss of strength and a breaking down of the nervous system. I suffered from headache constipation and fiuttering or palpita- ton of the heart. My appetite failed and I was so nervous and restless that l could not sleep. at night. My hus- band, who Is q druggist, brought mo bottle of Eervine. It helped me from the start, and l continued using 1t until I had taken six bottles. My health was completely restored"

ALL OF TENNESSEE CO.'S
 STACKS GOING IN BLAST

2. Bessemer, and the furnace at oxmoor will soon be in blast.
 ..The stoves of the Tennessee eompanys furnaces and at Bessemer needed re- pairing. They are being put in condition and these two furnaces will be ready for the torch in about two weeks. We begin stacking coke at oxmoor this week, and the furnace there will go into blast. As all our furnaces at Ensley are in operation the Tennessee company will soon have twelve in blast-six at Ensley, five at Bes- serner and one at Oxmoor'
 The Tennessee company's two Alice fur- naces are said to be too small to make iron economically under modern condi- tions. They are practically out of commits sion, as Mir. Bacon said yesterday he had no idea of putting them in blast But the increased output at Ensley, 1t Is pointed out will much more than make up for the idleness of the Alice stacks. The com pany's total pig iron production this fall will, 1t is said make great record

 The South Highland school district will embrace most of the eastern part of the South Highlands The new schools will relieve the pressure on the Powell and the Paul Hayne schools. and it is not improbable that all the school districts will be re-arranged In order to more even- ly divide the attendance at the various schools.
 The work on the High school and the two elementary school buildings contin- ues without hitch. No serious delay has yet been encountered. It has been stated that either the South Highlands schooi or the Barker school or possibly both. will have only four grades, and that po- pills advanced above those grades will le transferred to other schools.

TWO STATEMENTS
 REGARDING LABOR Furnace Companies Have About All Miners They Need MANY MEN RETURN HOME President Flynn of'Mine Workers and President Bacon of Tennessee
 Company Talk of the
 Situation.
MANY MEN RETURN HOME

President Edward Flynn of District No 20, United Mine Workers of America says that fully 90 per cent of the men sent to the Birmingham district during the past twelve months to take the place os the striking miners. almost immediate ly returned to their homes. The union as- sisted great number to purchase return tickets.
 "The people sent here by labor agents employed by the furnace operators to take the place of the striking miners. al- most to the man. returned to their homes after a brief stay here" said President Flynn yesterday afternoon.
 Almost every man sent to Birmingham by the operators came from New York Many were immigrants who had just land- ed in this country while. others had only been in New York for a comparatively short while Few II any had ever seen coal mine, and just as soon as they learned of the conditions that exist here they returned home.
 Labor Still Coming.
 "Labor is still being brought into the district by the furnace companies, but not as many laborers are coming in now as heretofore. They arrive now about ev- cry week or so in parties composed of from ten to twenty-five. The laws of the state of New York are very stringent with reference to the operation of a labor agency, when the laborers are to be sent out of the state, The contracts must show the name of the company, who is to employ the second party to the contract. the location of the place where he is to be sent. wages per day, week or month, and must state whether the men formerly employed by the company are on a strike. Many of the contracts l have seen signed by laborers sent to the Bir- mingham district recently stated there was a strike on here twelve months ago.
 President Flynn declared that every thing was running smoothly with the members of his organization in District No. 20. The output of coal by the com mercial operators is, he says, about normal for this season of the year.
 Mir. Bacon Talks.
 Chairman Don H. Bacon of the Ten nessee company when asked yesterday what success his company was having in bringing new labor into the district said: Recently We have not imported any mine workers for the simple reason that we have all that can be utilized The Tennessee companys labor condi- tions. so far as mine work is concerned is satisfactory.
 .In No. 1 and No. 6 shafts at Pratt the electric haulage equipment is about com pleted and will probably be in operation by next Saturday This means great deal.
 .At present miners have to walk two and a half miles under ground in order to reach objective points. This means miles of walking every day. With the electric haulage system the men will ride in the mines to and from their work. The electric haulage equipment will be in- stalled In No. later on. Very soon the pumping in the mines will be done by elec- trio power"
 Nearly all of the other furnace oper- ators say that they have a full complet- r,opt of ruinaro al work
