CHARGE EXPLODES
 IN MANS FACE
WILLIAM SCHNEIDER HAS FLESH
 TORN FROM BODY AND FACE
 WHEN DYNAMITE ExPLODES WHILE HE WAS LIGHTING FUSE

Cullman, October 14.-(Special. )--Wil- liam Schneider. very prominent German citizen of Cullman, met with an accident this morning about 10 o'clock which will In all probability prove fatal.
 Mir. Schneider was employed by the county in the construction of roads in the eastern part of the county and was work ing at what is known as the Brindley hill. and was making preparations to re- move some rock with the aid of dyna- mite. The hole had been loaded and Mir. Schneider was in the act of touching off the fuse when the dynamite exploded, completely severing all the flesh from one arm and tearing the flesh from the face and head. The explosion did not break any bones, but seemed to strip the flesh from them. Both eyes were se- verey injured and doctors say he will be blinded for life.
 When he was brought to Culman he was in horrible condition, and was one of the most pitiable looking aspects ever seen. He was treated and his wounds dressed at the office of Dr. L. Hayes by Drs Hayes and Burns. The physicians entertain little hope of his recovery.

"The people who attended the State royalty entertained" said Mayor J. L. Wikle of Anniston, who has been spend- ing several days here.
 Birmingham Is getting to be more hos pitable than in former years. The people take more time to entertain visitors and make them feel comfortable and at home.
 Perhaps 1t is the satisfied conscious ness of a great city. Birmingham has passed the uncertain stage of experiment tation. It is a success The people are prosperous and can now take time to be agreeable to the stranger within the gates.
 "The fair has been a great success in every way. It has brought thousands of people to Birmingham and everybody seems to have had a good time. The cit- izens of Birmingham have laid down their work and joined in the merriment with commendable zeal. Birmingham has done much this week to win the love and esteem of the people of Alabama.
 Several important conventions have been entertained in the city and all the delegates have been we'll cared for"
 The friends of John Craft in every sec- ton of the state will be glad to know that he was not seriously hurt when he was thrown from an automobile Thurs day afternoon near North Birmingham.
 He was bruised and scratched in several places, but was able to ride in another machine yesterday morning from the Morris hotel to the fair grounds. He approached and entered the machine without assistance and no coaxing
 "I guess while I am in Birmingham will have to lead the strenuous life," he remarked.

WONDERFUL WORKS
 OF SCIENCE
The Dreams of Yesterday Ac.

Astonishing Results Coming From the Study of Radium

When Radium was discovered short time ago the world little dreamed Of the immense value to mankind this elusive substance would prove to be.
 Chief~of its many virtues and curl osities is it's faculty of relieving man kind of old, perplexing, chronic dis eases which have hitherto been stumbling block to the most scientific thinkers.
 The time may be counted in months since the wonderful discovery was made that Radium had the property of impaireing its radioactivity to almost any substance.
 Water, being one of the best absorb ents of gas. it readily absorbs also the carnations of Radium, although it be separated from the water by being inclosed in glass jar or aluminium tube and the tube placed in the water.
 It has been discovered that this wa ter becomes so impregnated with radio activity that it is as efficient in the proper dose in relieving certain con- ditions of disease as Radium itself ex- ternally.
 The fact has been ascertained that all the noted waters, such as Carlsbad, and other noted health resorts owe their efficiency wholly to their degree nadioactivity, which they rapidly lose when bottled and carried away, so that in two or three days they be- come inert. The most astonishing fact discovered by these scientists Is that one does not have to visit any of these places for relief, because with tube of the proper radioactivity this water may be made in such a scientific man. ner that two teaspoonsful equal two quarts of the best radium water of the Joachimstal district. thus putting it on scientific basis in regard to strength and dosage. In our home city of Birmingham an energetic firm has procured the meens of making all most unlimited quantities of this high potency water with the intention of using 1t in connection with Electro Radio in the treatment of Rheumatism. Tuberculosis, Kidney, Liver and Stom- ach Troubles as well as all other dis eases of a depressing nature.
 This wonderful substance, combined with Electro Radio, as used by this firm, is working such wonders in this city that 1t bids fair to become one of the chief attractions to people vis- itine from a distance.
 Already their offices in the Farley building are filled to overflowing with fnvalids of all manner of diseases who are loud in their praises of the splen- z did results they are getting Office hours g to.12, to 4. to Rooms 3o4-6-s-7-s. (

Business Rooms

That business is better in Cullman by every bushes man in. town. The fall trade, which Is always large in Cullman, opened up earlier this year than ever before, and the merchants are buster now than they have ever been at this season of the year. Cullman county is making a bumper cotton crop and the staple is being gathered and is coming at rapid rate. More than 1900 bales of cotton have been sold all ready on the streets of Cullman alone, aside from that which has gone to other smaller towns in the county. The farmers are getting good prices for this product and the fact that there are not many debts to pay this year gives rise to prosperity in every class of trade.
 Cullman will ship this year more cotton than for the past several years, men who are engaged in the cotton business claiming that the shipments from Cullman this fall will reach as high as 10000 bales. The corn crop is fine and the acreage Is greater than for many years. and many farmers have raised sufficient wheat for home consumption and some to sell. As a rule, every class of trade in this coun- ty is prosperous when the farmer Is. and this is the case this year. Busi- ness men predict the brightest future for the coming year that Cullman has ever had.
