LETTERS TO THE ,DIToR.
Why Unions Are Not Strong.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 Last year about 10 per cent of the union men in Birmingham paid poll tax. about 90 per cent disfranchised themselves. and railroad men stayed away from the polls in the last election and let a class of men go to Montgomery to pass laws which if carried out would put every road in Ala bama in the hands of receivers Now when the railroads in self-defense are forced to cut wages a great howl will go up from about 200O or perhaps twice that number of hard working men who have sat idly by and let the time pass when they could go to the polls and be a great power. If every man in the state of Alabama working for wages would start right now and pay up his taxes, which would help educate their children, and be ready next election to put men at the head of this state who were not trying to get office by fighting cor porations and elect men to bring capital into Alabama, instead of soaring it away, Wall street panics would not be felt in this neck of the woods. This letter is not written for the benefit of any particular union, but to all men who worK for wages, anything that affects your em- ployer will affect you, and it Is your duty to him as well as yourself to be ready to say who shall be at the head of this great state. For 20 years union men have been working for their own interests. Now let's help the men who pay us for our labor. That is the key note to the situation, and will do more good than all the grievance commit tees we can elect or appoint, I have been working for corporations for 20 years and find some people who call themselves honest brag about beating a conductor out of railroad fare When ever a farmer loses a COW on rail- road track it is known that a cross be- tween a Pilot and a Longhorn makes a full -blooded Jersey. Now let's quit send ing committees to wait on our bosses and pay up our taxes so the next men who want office will consider the work ing men as well as politicians.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is In
 Preserving Health and Beauty.
Costs Nothing To Try.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient disinfect- ant and purifier in nature. but few req lize it's value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is remedy that the more you take of it the better; it is not drug at all but simply absorbs the gases and in- purties always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating on- ions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and im- proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 If absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it oisnfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered will low charcoal, and other harmless anti septics in tablet form or rather in the form of large pleasant tasting 1ozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in much improved condition of the general health, better complexion. sweeter breath and purer blood. and the beauty of it is that TO possible harm can result from their continued use, but, on the contrary, great benefit.
 A Buffalo physician in speaking of the benefits of charcoal. says: q ad- wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomacn and bowels and to clear the comple1li on and purify the breath, mouth and throat I also believe the liver is greatly ben efited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet I believe get more and better charcoal in Stuart's s Charcoal Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets"

He was, along with others, displeased at the presence of ne- gro delegates, and also resented the proposition of a New York man to send south tho overflow of immigrants from that city.

Wilkinson also said that the visitors thought that Governor Brow ard spent less of his time at the meeting than was expected. The matter of immi- grafton was left to the states to work out, 1t being thought they could best get at 1t.

Montgomery, February 15.-(Special.) There is backwardness about men seeking nomination to the Denver con vention that is surprising to all. only John w. Tomlinson, Rufus N. Rhodes, J. Thomas Heflin and E. w. Booker are announced aspirants for delegates at large, with not enough in the districts to make up the quota. However, 1t is anticipated that Henry D. Clayton, one of the congressman, will get into the race. making five to select from ana four to go. It is also thought that Robert J. Lowe, erstwhile chairman of the state democratic committee, may yet enter the running.
 All For Bryan.
 It is about the most unanimous thing for Mir Bryan for the presidency one has ever seen. Anti Bryan men do not dare to raise their heads in the talk of selecting delegates. As matter of fact all the anti Bryan men have taken to the woods. 1t seems. as their voices are no more heard in the cries or the partv for supremacy.

FRANK WIDNER IS SERIOUSLY HURT Jumps from Train While In
 Motion
SHOPS WILL CLOSE DOWN
The Louisville and Nashville Will Sus- pend Operations At New Decatur For Few Weeks-Adverse
 Legislation the Cause.

Decatur, February 15.-(Special.)- Frank Widner, mechanic in the I,ouis- vile and Nashville railroad shops in New Decatur, happened to what may prove a fatal accident this morning about 10 o'clock.
 MT. Widner had been to Birmingha and was returning home on the Bir- mingham Age-Herald Newsboy train. When the train reached the yard of fees near the shops of the railroad company in New Decatur, MT. Widner Jumped from the train while 1t was running at high speed. In jumping he fell and portion of his body fell under the wheels of the train His left arm is so badly mashed and crushed that if will be necessary to amputate it. He also received injuries internally that are quite likely to result fatally.
 Soon after the accident MT Widner was carried to his home in South De- catur where he is being cared for by the best medical men of the city.
 MT. Widner wanted to stop at the shops and jumped from the train at that point. Had he gone on to the New Decatur depot he would have been several blocks away from the shops and he thought he could save time by jumping from the train.
 MT. Widner is well known and highly respected in the Decaturs. He is a member of several of the leading secret orders.
 Shops Will Close.
 Notices are posted on the gates of the Louisville and Nash vile railroad shops in New Decatur to the effect that these shops will be closed down on February 22 and 27. This Is done for the purpose of reducing expenses, which the company says it is forced to do on account of the falling off In freight and passenger business and also on account of adverse railroad legisla- tion in Alabama.
 During the past few weeks the force has been reduced fully 20 per cent. Only few weeks go an order was re- ceived for the building of 500 new freight cars but this order has since been cancelled and the present indica- tons are that no more new cars will be built here for several weeks to come.
