NEW INSPECTOR
 TAXES CHARGE Nesbitt and Six Associates Will Retain the Local
 Headquarters

c. H. Nesbitt, chief mine inspector, appointed to succeed James Hillhouse, assumed charge of his office yester- day morning in the Chamber of Com merce building. With him at the time of the taking of the oath were the six associate inspectors who will be in charge of the department of mining for the coming four years.
 The full list of officials follows:
 c. H. Nesbitt, Maben chief inspector l. F. Webb of Quinton, Frank Hill man of America, W. R. Ray of Bloc ton, Thomas Roscoe of Birmin gham, David Nelson of Wylam and w. W. Kicker of Maben, as associate inspect ors.
 MT. Nesbitt stated upon taking hold that there would occur no changes in the headquarters of the mining depart ment which means that Birmingham will be the chief point of interest for the inspectors. He said also that there would not be any changes in the per sonnel of the clerical department. MT. Nesbitt is one of the best known min ing engineers of the state, and assumes charge of the mining department with a capacity and qualification unques- toned by industrial men of the dis trict.
 G. B. Mccormack, president of the Operators association, paid MT Nesbitt a very high compliment yesterday, say ing that in all the district there were DO industrial men who did not wish for the new inspector the highest record of any inspector.
 The relinquishment of the post by James Hillhouse has caused keen re- gret here and there Is expected to be started a movement to present him wit a silver service by the industrial men here when he returns from Baltimore.

COFFEE CONGESTION Causes R Variety of Ails

A happy old lady in Wisconsin says:
 During the time I was a office drinker I was subject to sick head aches, some times lasting 2 or 3 days, totally uniting me for anything.
 To this affliction was added, some years ago, a trouble with my heart that was very painful, accompanied by a smothering sensation and faintness
 Dyspepsia. also, came to make life harder to bear. I took all sorts of patent medicines but none of them helped me for any length of time
 ''The doctors frequently told me that coffee was not good for me; but. with out coffee I felt as if I had no break fast I finally decided about 2 years ago to abandon the use of coffee. en- tirely, and as I had read a great deal about Postum decided to try that for a breakfast beverage.
 'I liked the taste of 1t and was par- ticularly pleased to notice that it did not come up coffe used to. The, bad spells with my heart grew less an3 less frequent, and finally ceased alto gether. and I have not had an attack O sick headache for more than a yea My digestion is good. too. and l an thankful that l am once more a healthy woman. know my wonderful restoration to health came from quitting coffee and using Postum." Name given by the Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich.
 ''There's a reason," and it is this. Coffee has a direct action on the liver with some people, and causes partial congestion of that organ preventing the natural outlet of the secretions Then may follow biliousness, sallow skin, headaches, constipation and finally a change of the blood corpuscles and nervous prostration.
 Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. There's a Reason"
 Ever read the above letters A new one appears from time to time. They genuine, true, and full of human interest.

 A large crowd of citizens and friends of the institution were present at the 6edicatory exercises yesterday morning. T. H. Johnston, chairman of the build ing committee, was in charge of the cere- monies and directed the breaking of the sod. A brief invocation was made by C. H. Moorman, state secretary, follow l ing which President R. s. Munger dug the spade into tho earth and heaved | over into a wagon nearby the first mass of dirt to be removed from the excava- tion.
 | City Commissioners Exum, Lane and Weatherly left their busy desks to join for a few moments in the exercises and each threw a shovelful of dirt. Chair man Johnston upturned the next lump and he was followed in succession by members of the building committee, direc- tcrs and trustees, among whom were James Bowron, G. H. Estes. R. E. Col | lins, Robert Jemison, Sr., F. B. Clark, J.
