FIRE IN GE0RGIANA
SEVERAL BUSINESS HOUSES WERE
 DESTROYED.
isest of the Heaviest Losers by the Early Morning Blase In
 Butler County

Georgiana, Oct. Z-(Special. )--rhe most serious fire that has occurred in Georgiana in the past twenty-five years began here at 11:55 p. m. last night
 The Ire ragged until 1t spent itself at about 8 c. m. Men fought to the last to subdue the flames and at last con- quered them.
 The engines from the railroad shops went to the rescue. and rendered great assistance In Quenching the flames.
 The Ire started in a restaurant (un- occupied) next to Warren and Brun- sons hardware - store. Warren and and Brunson's store next caught. then the postoffice. also Shell and Company. general merchandise; Johnson's livery stable, Johnson's store house. and on to Rhodes Bros. warehouse. where many goods were stored.
 All these buildings were practically burned to the ground.
 Rhodes Bros'., a modern two-story brick building, and also two brick buildings owned by Mrs. Allmon were destroyed.
 Warren and Brunson are one of the heaviest losers. The stock of goods of Foster Mercantile Company. the Rail- road Store and Newt Hudson's store were badly damaged.
 Incendiarism Is supposed to have been the cause of the fire. as a party was seen running from the fire.
 Those who suffered the greatest loss are as follows: Warren and Brunson, $12.o00 stock $3,500 insurance. Rhodes Bros.. $500 insurance on ware house and contents.
 John Johnson, loss sa,00o; $1,7oo in- surance.
 R. s. Pilley, no insurance on store house or postoffice. pr. Morris, $1,000 insurance on build- ing. Insurance on other buildings and stock of goods were we'll covered with insurance, but can not estimate dam age, as some goods were saved from the buildings. and some buildings were not totally destroyed.

WANTS GOOD ROADS.
Senator Bankhead Talks of the Meet
 ing.

Senatof bankhead TnIks of the Meet
 Birmingham. oct 7-fsnec,a,,- Senator John H. Bankhead, who was in the city today. is very much inter- ested in the good roads meeting that Is to be held in the city shortly. In speaking of 1t he said:
 This meeting is for business only, the attendants not coming here to be shown about and banqueted. They will try to organize a move that will. if is hoped, create a direct campaign for a membership of the next Legislature that will stand pledged to promote good roads.
 '"rhe people of Alabama last year adopted an amendment to the consti- tuition with the view that the State help with the convict fund in building good roads in the countiest according to population. That is, If the county has made an appropriation for good roads. the State is to do as much, or If the county has fioated bonds. for the State to pay the interest on them.
 This. 1t Is hoped, will result in an era of good roads and a general im- provement of road transportation in Alabama. It will give the rural dis to be centrally located. and wonder fully improve the rural mail delivery :.
 'Tt is a matter of economy, for with good roads the planter saves much in wear on his stock and saves time. The saving on crop transportation will be as great as the amount of money spent on road improvement. The State helping will be an encouragement to the counties to have the best of roads"
 Senator Bankhead is deeply inter- ested in the good roads movement and has lent his help on every occasion he could. ''I am not going to rest" he said until the roads of Alabama are as good or better than those Of any other State in the Union."

HEADACHES AND
 DIZZY SPELLS
Were Caused by . BkoodIess Condition in This Vermont
 Girfs Case.

An@mia is simply lack of blood.
 It is one of the most common and dan. gerous diseases with which growing girls suffer.
 It is common because the blood SC often becomes impoverished during de. velopment, when girls are too frequently allowed to overstudy, overwork and suffer from lack of exercise. It is dan. gerous because of the stealthiness of its approach, often being well developed before its presence is recognized, and because of its tendency togrow SO steadi. ly worse, if not promptly checked, that it may run into consumption.
 Miss Julia V. Monahan, of No. 161 Granger street, Rutland, Vt, took Dr. Williams Pink Pills in the carly stages of anamia and was undoubtedly saved from long sickness. She says:
 "In the fall of 1908 I was very much run down from overstudy. Tho doctor said had an@mia but his medicine did not not seem to help me. I wss pale and became very thin. had headaches every few days which made me feel sick all over. My appetite was poor and what ate didn't seem to agree with me. Occasionally I had dizzy spells and was confined to the bed for two weeks.
 GA cousin, who had been benefited by Dr. Williams Pink Pills, advised me to give them trial. I did so and had taken them only a short time when ] began to have some color in my face The headaches left me as continued with the pills and have been we'll eve. since. I hope that other girls, who are suffering as I did, will take Dr. Will. liams' Pink Pills"
 The treatment of an@mia with Df1 Williams Pink Pills is as certain al anything in medical science. They at f directly on the blood which they purif I and build up to its normal strength.
 They have also cured rheumatismt after-effects of the grip and levers stomach trouble, nervous breakdown sick headaches, St. Vitus' dance an{ neuralgia A booklet, Diseases of tb Blood" will be sent free to any suffertl from an3mia upon request.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are for sail by all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid Dn receipt of price. 50 cents per box l tix boxes for $2 50. by the Dr. William Medicine Company Schenectady. N. Y

STOP WHARF WORK
BIRMINGHAM AND GULF COMPANY
 ANTICIPATES INJUNCTION.
Two Property Owners Near Warehouse object to Proposed Improvement. New Health Onicer Chosen
 In Dallas,

Selma, Oct. 2-(Special )-Pending the probable issuance of an injunction which would restrain the Birmingham and Gulf Railway and Navigation Com pany from building their wharf in the rear of the building on Water Street formerly occupied by the post ofice, R. E. Ellis. who has charge of this work. was notified this morning to cease operations.
 The building formerly occupied by the post of1ice was rented by the Birm- ingham and Gulf Railway and Naviga- ton Company some weeks ago. The company's intentions are to convert the building into warehouse, into which there will be run spur tracks of the Selma Street and Suburban Rail- way Company, which will be used to haul freight from the depots of the city to this warehouse, and then shipped down the Alabama River on the boats of the company.
 In the rear of this warehouse the wharf is to be built, equipped with electric elevators for passengers and electric cranes for the hoisting and lowering of freights from the ware- house to the boats.
 The notification which was served this morning upon MT. Ellis to stop work. was at the instigation of N. Kahn and Company, and \. Waller. The place of business of N. Kahn and Com pany and N. Waller are both on Water Street. they being on either side of the property which has been leased by the Birmingham and Gulf Railway and Navigating Company.
 If some agreement is not reached be- tween the boat company and the two Selma concerns within the next few days, 1t Is thought that the injunction restraining the boat company from building the wharf will be asked for. What the basis of contention will be is not stated, but the boat company will fight the injunction if 1t is issued. New Health Omcer.
 At a meeting of the Dallas County Board of Health. last night. pr. T. G. Howard was chosen County Health Of- hcer to succeed pr. B. B. Rogan. who recently moved from Selma. A sec- retary to the Board to succeed Dr. Ro- gan was also elected.

Miraculous Escape

While returning from the cemetary
Friday afternoon having attended the
funeral of Mrs. Wesley Hibbs, Mes
danes Stone and Mansfield narrowly
escaped serious injury. They togeth-
er with dad" Mansfield and A. NJ
Burnham had drove out in a carriage
Returning the yoke strap broke m d
let the tongue of the carriage fall.
This frightened the horses and they
began to run. In trying to get out the
ladies were hurled forcibly to the
ground and it was only miraculous
that they were not seriously injured
As it was they escaped with slight in
iuries from which they have entirely
recovered at this time.
The team ran for some distance but
was stopped before they did any ma
terial damage.

in any way alleviate their sorrow, The

been transplauted from earth to Ileav-

steps and live the Christian life that
she has lived, they may meet her in
that upper and brighter kingdom
where sorrow and tears are no more
but where we may all be gathered
around the Lamb of Life in joyous
blessed reunion. Peace be to her ash
es. She has fought the good fight, she
has kept the faith and nov goes to
claim her crown which is laid up for
ner in Heaven.
