Cigarette
 Smokers
Can be Cured-This Man Smoked Cigarettes
 For Ten Years.
Could Not Sleep Without Smoking Dur ing the Night, and Result Never Felt Like Getting Up
 in the Morning.

I feel it my duty to let the unfortu- nate Cigarette Fiend" know that there is a cure for the cigarette habit. no matter how long or to what extent one has been using tn hese life-destroy- ing agents of the devil. In my case had been smoking cigarettes since was 10 years old. The desire for cigar cites was such that my first though on arising in the morning and my la st thought at night before retiring was "a cigarette" and finally 1 got so I would wake during the night and inhale the smoke from a cigarette before I could again go to sleep. As a result of the constant us of cigarettes during the night l would not feel like getting up in the morning, feeling so tired that I had neither energy to arise nor appe- tite at breakfast time, consequently I would take my breakfast to my place of business and maybe eat it later on. In fact, I had little appetite at any time, and weighed only 119 pounds, whereas, since taking your treatment l now weigh 40 pounds.
 l want to tell all cigarette users that if they will take a course of your Specially Prepared Home Trea tment in accordance with directions that accom- pany each course of treatment, that they will not only get rid of all desire or necessity for cigarettes, but their general health will be greatly inn proved. Yours truly,

GOT IN TROUBLE
 ON BRIDAL TRIP
Gaudin Sues Pullman Company AlIeg- ing He Was Carried Beyond Des-
 tination and lnconvenienced.

Trouble followed close after John R. Gaudn on the return from his bridal trip last March, according to a suit filed by him against the Pullman Palace Car com- pany in the circuit court yesterday. The suit is for 5000 damages similar suit also being filed by Mrs. Gaudin.
 The petition states that the plaintiff, in company with his wife, left Vicksburg, Miss, on March 5 for Birmingham, the route being via the Alabama and Vicks- burg railroad and the Alabama Great Southern railroad. It is alleged that the conductor of the Pullman car failed to awaken MT. Gaudin when the train reached Birmingham and that he was carried on to Riverside, where he took a Southern railway train back to Bir- mingham. This was at o'clock in the morning.
 A Pullman car was attached to the Southern train and the plaintiff proceeded to take nap in it. Again it is alleged ] Pullman conductor failed in his duty, for when MT. Gaudin awoke it was o'clock and the car had been switched into the yards in Birmingham. The train had come into Birmingham some two hours before and everyone else had left the car. It was then necessary for the petitioner to walk several hundred yards over rail road tracks and through mud to a tole- phone, where he phoned for conveyance.
 The friends and family of MT. Gaudin and his bride had gathered at the station to greet them upon their arrival here and were much distressed at ,heir failure to put in an appearance when the Alabama Great Southern train rolled in.

ELECTION HELD
 BY LOCAL TYPOS
Henry West and Luther George Are Elected Delegates to the Inter-
 national Convention.

Yesterday was the most important day in the year among local union printers, the occasion being the annual election of officers for Birmingham Typographical union No. 104, and the casting of ballots for officers of the International union. The office of the Labor Advocate was the polling place, and the electioneering at the polls last Monday during the democratic primary was nothing to compare with the but ton-holing and vocal demonstrations at this particular voting place.
 The most hotly contested places on the ticket were for the positions of delegate to the international conven- tion, which meets in Boston next August. Henry West and Luther George were the two men who won out in this race, the Birmingham local being entitled to two representatives at the national meeting. Several other candidates pushed these two men closely for the honor.
 But four votes separated the two candidates for international president, James M Lynch of Syracuse receiving 56 votes and H. l.. Hudspetch of New Orleans receiving 52. In the race for international secretary and treasurer J. w. Bramwood of Denver received 70 votes, and Thomas F. Crowley re- ceived A.
 Ballots on the local offices will not be counted until the first Sunday in June, at the regular meeting of the union. Interest in the local positions was equally as keen as for the inter national offices, the position of delegate to the international convention, how ever being considered the prize honor.

that Milner and Browne, the county engineers. who located this road on such a low grade, deserve a great deal of credit.
 This committee was greatly im- pressed with the need of the road won dering why 1t had not been constructed long before. Judge John H. Miller, at torney for the board of revenue, was in the party. and stated that he had known of this route for some time, and had always been in favor of it. He thought it ought to be built ansE he es- timated that the road at cost of $10000 to the county would pay for itself in about two years with the in- crease in taxes on the property that would be benefited 'by the road.
 There is considerable enthusiasm on the Shades valley side of the mountain. The people who want a road quickly are glad it is to be given by the out going board of revenue.
