NEGROES KILLED IN CAR ACCIDENTS One Run 0ver Another Killed
 By MotOrman DEATH ON SECOND AVENUE Man Attempted To Board Car and Fell--8essemer Conductor Kills
 Negro With Switch
 Stick.
DEATH ON SECOND AVENUE

A difficulty between Motorman W. B. Cheatham, on the South Besscmer line, and Jim Brantly, well known negro character in Bessemer, resulting in the death of Brantly: and the death of a ne- gro, whose name was either Monroe Me Ghee or c. W. Wright, under the wheels of a Boyles street car. were Saturday nights additions to the long list of street car tragedies. Brantly was killed i'll Bes- semer as the car was on it's way from town. The death of the other negro oc- cured at the corner of Second avenue and Twentieth street before the very eyes of large crowd of people.
 There was also an unconfirmed state ment that a negro had been killed at Pratt City by d motorman on one of the North Ensley cars.
 The death of Brantly resulted from his refusal to get. off of the white passenger car when asked to do so by the motor man. According to statements the. car was leaving Bessemer for Birmingham when the negro swung on the front step and got up on the platform. He was told by Motorman Cheatham that he would nave to get on the negro car. This he refused to do and words followed be- tween the two men.
 The car was stopped and Brantly stepped off. He made a motion as if to draw q pistol and remarked to Cheat ham, "D-- you, I'll fix you.'
 At this the motorman picked up the switch stick, which was standing on the front end of the car stepped up to the negro and knocked him down. The ne- gro got up and started at him again and was knocked down a second time. The third blow was of sufficient violence to end the immediate difficulty.
 Brantly was removed to the hospital, where he died later
 The negro was prominent, in way, in Bessemer, being especially well known to the police department
 Late last night, after Brantly's death, n warrant was issued for Cheatham's arrest, but he surrendered voluntarily to the sheriff.
 Last night about il o'clock, while at tempting to run around from the blind side of a Boyles car to the front step,  Monroe McGhee or c. W. Wright ne- gro, was struck by the front end of the car, dragged probably 10 feet and then run over just below the abdomen. Both legs were cut almost completely off and his back was broken. He died before he could be gotten to the hospital.
 According to the statements of several eye witnesses the negro ran out from the Dude saloon corner just as the Boyles car started off down Second avenue from Norton's corner He tried to run around the front end to catch the step, but was struck squarely by the car. He is sup posed to have lived at DoIcito. A pay en- velope containing $5O2 was found on him.
 The car which struck the negro was No. 40 on the Boyles line, and was in charge of Conductor J. D. Phillips and Motorman D. G. Brookson. No arrests were made on account of the nature of the accident

Excessive
 Drinking
Orrine Destroys the Craving for Drink-Sold Under Posi-
 tive Guarantee.

Excessive or continued use of alco- holic beverages always results in dis eased condition of the nervous system.
 The drinking man is often heard to say, "I can stop of my own free will and when I wish," but the poor fellow is now devoid of the power to act at the proper time and in the right way it's too late, the craving has secured firm hold and because of the diseased nervous system he has not the ability for sustained effort. The result we all know.
 Drunkenness is no longer consid tired d crime; eminent scientists and physi- clans have agreed that it Is disdlse and must be treated such.
 The home treatment that has been used for a number of years. and is highly successful, is Orrine. It is sold under positive guarantee that if it does not effect a cure your money will be refunded.
 Orrine is in two forms. When desir- ing to give secretly, purchase Orrine No. 1. and if the patient will voluntar fly take the treatment. Orrine No. should be given. The guarantee is the same in either case. Orrine costs but S1.00 per box. Mailed in plain sealed for free treatise on Drunk kenness," mailed in sealed envelope by The Or rine Co.,. Washington, D. c.

 MALADIES WORRY HEALTH OFFICERS
Diphtheria, Scarlet Fever and Typhoid Fever In a Number of Homes
 of the City.

Diptheria, scarlet fever and typhoid fever have for the past few weeks made a united assault on various homes in the city and are worrying both physicians and health officers
 While Health Officer Hardness states that there is no epidemic abroad, and that no unusual means will have to be taken to prevent the spread, still he says all three diseases are more prevalent now than natural or than this time last year.
 He does not think there is any reason for alarm, but that extreme care should be taken by all families with patients. The report for october will show between 20 and 30 cases each of diphtheria and scarlet fever. There has been more ty- phoid during october than in September.

and then he will go back to Mississippi to visit, but not to see, his old home. Mr. Cores wife has been his eyes. She reads to him and writes his letters. They mortgaged their home when MT. Gore eil- tered the race for the senatorial nomi- nation, and they spent no money except for travelling expenses. Gore is a radical of the radicals He appeals tv the poor man as a poor man, and he does it in speeches of wonderful oratorical power. His blindness no doubt gained him many votes. but he had already won his po- litical spurs in the territorial legislature.
 Thus the new state-wth political and social life far advanced, with wealth un- told, with none of those features which made romance in the early history of other western states, without any of the problems of the pioneers of other days, but with the hope and strength of young men Who have carved for themselves for tunes from wilderness-joins the great American union.
