fact, than were lost in any battle @f

alone were responsible for 700 deaths
more than twice the number of
Americans killed in the Spanish War
while more than 10000 persons were
more sor less seriously injured in the
factories and shops of the empire
Workers in metal and makers of
machinery and apparatus were the
chief sufferers, contributing 20 fatah-
ties to the list; the manufacture OF
artificial ice cost five lives; every ia
dustry, in fact, was represented by its
gruesome quota. Even such seem
ingly harmless occupations as those
of the tailor, mifliner and laundry
worker had charged up to their ac-
count five lives, while the making of
chemicals, oils and explosives was re-
sponsible for seventeen deaths.

In the early days of coal mining.
especially in the anthracite fields OF
eastern Pennsylvania, fatal accidents
were of such frequent occurrence
that they scarcely aroused sensational
interest. In 1870 more than five
mine workers out Of every thousand
met death through causes due di-
rectly or indirectly to their occu-
patton Finally laws were passed by
ne different states compelling mine
AUwners and managers to exercise
more care in their operations and to-
conduct their business with more re-
gard for human life. This remedy
has been fairly effective, but mining
is still one OF the most dangerous OF
all occupations At the close OF the
last century it was figured out that

Tuscaloosa County Has Decided Favor
ably On This Project.

Tuscaloosa, November Especial The
vote for the new court house shows an
overwhelming majority. The election
boxes came in very briskly yesterday and
the roll of beats is very nearly complete.
Some of the beats sent In majorities
against the new building, but there were
not enough to overcome the others. 1t
was stated that in some of these beats
the objection was not TO the new court
house, but the $4,000 of bonds was not
specified, and they were unwilling to vote
for an unlimited bond issue.

honesty in the conduct of our elections.
Those of us who voted for Colonel Hig-
don believed with the committee who
framed that address, that 1.-The beneficent
aims of the new instrument had far high
er inspiration than the fate or fortunes
of political parties" and while We honor
all men for voting their convictions at all
times, we feel that the lesson of the
election on the 9Th of November in this
county ought not to be misinterpreted
The people of Jefferson county are deter
mined that honesty and fairness shall
guide the councils of the democratic party
al all electious hereafter; and they have
set an example that the people of the
state of Alabama will be delighted to
follow They have taught this lesson at
the polls in manner that will not in
jure the party, but will upift it and bring
1t to a higher plane
Mr.. Bell is right when he says that
friends ought not to estrange themselves
because of this; he need have no fear.
The men who administered the rebuke are
as faithful and loyal to democracy as he.
They are not intolerant. But Mr.. Bell
should also realize that this fight will not
go down in history only ''as a brave
struggle by faithful few for the estab-
lished faith of the party but it will ring
in history all over Alabama as the brave
victory of the many for the publication
of the ballot, for honor in elections, for
fairness in committees, and for the lift
ing of the democratic party to higher
ideals.
There is another result; public opinion
will hereafter see to it that the penalties
provided by the legislature and by the
constitution to enforce honesty in cleo
lions will be visited upon those who vio-
late the election laws. AS result of this.
the enormous corruption funds that have
been used by candidates in jefferson coun-
ty to influence the voters will no longer
be necessary. With the enforcement of
these laws, political grafters and political
gamblers, will disappear. and it will no
longer he necessary to have a large for
tune in order to become a candidate for
office
We join with Mr.. Bell in kind feeling to
those who believed in voting for Judge
Stiles that they were doing right; but we
say to him that the democratic party in
jefferson county and in the state. of Ala
bama has been made stronger and purer
than ever before by reason of this vic
tory of those democrats who voted for
Colonel Higdon. In our opinion. the
brightest day In the politics of Alabama
since the day when the last signature was
made to the new constitution that gave
it the force of law, was the 9th day Of
November 1906 when the people arose
in their might and said that the doctrines
of the new constitution should no longer
remain a barren ideality, but they should
have behind them the voice of the peo-
pie, which is the voice of God.

Happiness in a Tablet
Perfect Health for Every One Procured
At Small Cost.

How many times have you sat down
at your meals absolutely disguised at
the thought or sight of anything to cat?
How many times have you sat down at
your meals without the trace of an appe-
tite, but just because it was time to
eat?' 81
How many times have you felt a
gnawing, unsatisfied "still-hungry" feel
ing In your stomach, even after you were
through eating?
How many times have you felt that
lump of lead' on your stomach after
eating, whether your meal was well
cooked or not?
And how many times have you suf-
fered a whole lot of other things from
your stomach that you couldn't explain,
but that made you grouchy, miserable,
out-o'-sorts and generally sour on every
body and everything?
1t is safe to say you couldn't tell You
don't keep track of those things, of
course, but you know you've suffered
them You probably have had them for
so long that they've become habit with
you, and you have come to the conclusion
that our fate is to suffer them in
definitely and perhaps forever.
And so men, much like horses, stand
ing unhitched at the hitching post, think
they're tied. and SO their habit makes
them prisoners.
But no one need have dyspepsia. nor
indigestion, nor loss of appetite, brash.
irritation, burning sensations, heartburn.
nausea, eructations, bad memory, loss of
vim and vigor and the happiness that
comes from healthy stomach and good
appetite if he will only leave his old
hitching post and tie himself to a new
one, one that will hold him to health, joy,
ambition and clear mind and memory,
and the sunshine that goes with them.
That indeed is Heaven! And you can
get it in a little tablet already prepared
for the purpose, in Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets. those little cherubs of health
and delight found in thousands of homes
today. Listen-one ingredient of one Of
these precious little tablets will digest for
you 5000 grains of food
This relieves your stomach OF the work
of dlgesting until your stomach can get
strong and healthy again. Your stomach
has been overworked and abused. It's
tagged out. 1t needs rest
Let Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do the
work of your stomach. You will be sur
nrised how fine you'll feel after eating,
and how lusciousy good everything will
taste to you. That's because the tablets
are thoroughly digesting the food which
your stomach couldn't digest before.
Have these tablets on your dining table,
and take one or two after every meal
without fail. Then you will realize as
never before that the human stomach
decides for every man whether he will
go forward or backward-and besides.
you'll forget you ever had stomach to
torment you.
