A Card.

To my friends, patrons, and the pub
 lie generally:
 l desire by this method to deny the rumor that I am about to remove from this city. My relations in For rest City are too pleasant to entertain such thought, and I also desire to ex- tend my thanks to my patrons for their very liberal patronage the past year, and ask for continuance of the same. The rumor that I am about to remove, originated in the fact that l am about to engage in business in Marianna. My business here will be continued just the same as heretofore.
 Respectfully,
 A. J. VACCARO.

 What To Do.
 There IS comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy. fulhlls every wish in curing rheumatism pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne cessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most dis dressing cases. If you need medicine you should have the best. Sold by drug gists in ffty-cent and one-dollar sizes.

 Columbus, Ga, Nov. 12.--(Special.)- The Georgia and Alabama Industrial Index will say tomorrow in its regu-
 That the substantial and ornate up- building of cities and towns in Georgia and Alabama is keeping pace fully with the great industrial development in the two States is Illustrated by reports to The Index for the past seven days, showing definite plans for new con- struction in forty-six cities and towns, with more than one item from num- Der of them. The general character of buildings reflects progress and pros- perity, and exhibits a business-like re- alization of growth and of the de mands which %ft occasions. Never be- fore have as many residences been built in these cities and towns as now, and yet the need for them has not been supplied in great many instances. Larger and handsomer business build tngs are being erected. The number and character of public buildings that are being constructed form another signal index of prosperity. Improve ment by municipalities is not exceeded by the enterprise of private citizens. Every week Is announced the issuance or proposed issuance of bonds for erec- ting public buildings, the construction of paving, sewers. water works sys- tems, lighting plants or other substan- tial betterments.
 'Tn addition to numerous residences and business buildings to be erected. The Index reports the following:

Mobile, Ala; water works system Sparks, Ga. and park extensions, Sa- vannah. Ga, and waycross, Ga. Con- tract has been let for street paving at Valdosta, Ga.
 Among the industrial plants to be established are the following:

OPPOSES PROJECT
CONGRESSMAN RICHARDSON TALKS
 OF SAND MOUNTAIN CANAL.
He Says the Project is Not Feasible and is Merely Another Wild
 scheme of Water

Huntsville. Nov. .--(Speeial )--Con- gressman William Richardson, who has accomplished a great work for the Tennessee river and Is now pushing to a successful issue the great Muscle Shoals water power project. has ex- pressed in no mincing terms his oppo- sition to the project of digging canal from Guntersville to unite the waters of the Tennessee and Warrior rivers. In speaking of the project today. he said:
 T have been invited to the Water ways Convention that will assemble. in Birmingham on November 19 and hope. to be able to attend. There. is really nothing in that proposition of digging canal through Sand Mountain, which is one of the objects of this gathering. It Is simply chimerical. not feasible and Is one of the many wild schemes about water ways that you find now floating through the atmosphere. I do not thing there is really enough in the proposition to invite notice or discus sion. for survey made many years ago by the Engineers Corps of the War Department from Guntersville to the head waters of the Coosa, settles the project forever. for the report prac- tically said the water in such canal would have to be lifted over Sand Mountain by hydraulic rams.
 ''rhe mere agitation of such ques- ton at this time may do some injury For several years past, have been &C., tive in securing special appropriation from Congress to be applied to dredg- ing the Tennessee river between Hobbs Island and Guntersvtfle in the summer months, so the boats could run. few years since. boats could not run for four months because the water was, at such a low stage. This appropria- ton has given great relief by dredging the sand bars at the mouth of Flint and Paint Rock rivers. This does not look like We have any water in our river to turn over to anybody.
 T also notice that another canal Is proposed from Bear Creek on to the Gulf, and another one to unite the wa ters of the Mississippi river and the Atlantic Ocean by way of the Tennes- see river, with a canal at Guntersville. Our decided disposition Is to pass all such projects and adhere to what our people desire most devoutly--the open ing of the Tennessee river to naviga- tion from Knoxville. Tenn, to Pajucah. Ky.
 "The Representatives from Alabama in Congress have stood and worked to- gether for years past for the improve ment of the Mobile harbor and the Warrior. Coosa. Tennessee and Ala bama rivers. I think we ought to con- tinue the good work until it is finished. To thrust on us this untenable propo- sition about the Guntersville canal, concerning which there is some little sensitiveness here in the Tennessee valley. certainly would do no good to anybody. concur fully with the very strong and appropriate views expressed by my good friend and colleague, MT. Underwood"
