bers on each committee who were called out of town, the committees were con- solidated, and the amount which has been secured for the purposes of the orr ganization has resulted practically from the efforts of only one committee. !
 The officers of the Associated Charities are pleased with the outlook for raising the needed amount. While the sum of all that has been subscribed Is only 8 small part of the total amount wanted, the members of the committee feel great ly encouraged at the interest manifested on the part of the citizens generally, and the liberality with which the solicitations have been met.
 Various members of the committee ex- pressed some surprise at finding how thoroughly conversant is the public with the work of the Associated Charities. It is thought that after several days fur tner effort on the part of full commit- tees the campaign will be set In motion in earnest, when q large increase in the number of subscriptions and in the amounts will probably be realized.

WILL NEW RAILROAD 60 FROM GADSDEN Talk of Connecting Link for
 Coal Property EXPECT GREAT THINGS Gadsden People Are Optimistic Over Grenfell Visit-Award Contract
 for New County Jail.
 LawsOns in Jail

Gadsden, February 2S--(Special.)- It was learned yesterday that a new deal is on for the construction of s railroad between this city and Bir- mingham. The proposition is to con- struct a main line between this city and some point on the Warrior river by way of Birmingham and then to build number of short lines for feed CTS
 These short lines are to connect all the properties of the Alabama Con- solidated Coal and Iron company and those of the Southern Iron and Steel company in this district with the main line and thereby make all raw materials of these companies readily accessible. At least one of the men in the Hoad- iey-Crenfell party is interested in the deal and was emphatic in his assur- ances that the line will be built. He said that surveyors were already in the field locating the line. and that some definite announcement would come in a short time.
 Gadsden Optimistic
 As result of the visit of the eastern capitalists in the Hoadley- -Grenfel party who spent the day in this city yester- doy anu we're tilteIldlutu dl d DdUQuel last night, there is universal optimism among the Gadsden folks today While nothing of specific nature was given out, the visitors allowed the tacit under- standing to go abroad that something would be doing before long that would add immeasureably to the prestige of this city. The merger of the two big com panies doing business in this district seems to be in a fair way to be con lfr11T q ad witt in tft,,a tl,f. will be followed by extensions to con vert all raw material into the finished product. Already there is more activity in the real estate market and in every way the effect of the visit of these men is apparent.

Every WOman'S Hair
 Should Be Beautiful
(From Style and Fashion, New York.)

(From Style and Fashion, New York.)
 Beautiful, glossy and lustrous hair is within reach of every woman who will only try" said Mime. LeClaire, the French beauty specialist, today.
 Stop your scrubbing, rubbing and rims ing Such shampoos give you head ache, keep you indoors the better part of day, and expose you to catching cold
 Every woman who wants abundant, lustrous hair should use a dry shampoo. Mix four ounces of powdered orris root with four ounces of therox. Sprinkle about a tablespoonful of this mixture upon the head; then brush the powder thoroughly through the hair.
 "This cleanses the scalp and hair and gives the hair a beautiful glossy lustre- int addition to making it light and fluffy. TtfGox encourages the growth of hair."

 Lee Lawson. who was convicted of persistent blind tigering and who made his escape from the county chain gang and has just been returned, now says that the reason he so flagrantly violated the prohibition law was the fact that he had brother in the penitentiary whom ne wanted to free and thought that sell ing liquor would be the quickest way of raising the money necessary to make the fight. His brother was convicted of murder and is serving a sentence of 40 years. There is another brother who is also on the chain gang, so that the three Lawson brothers are all under sentence at the same time.

Sir Edward Carson, Noted English

Pile Pay Dearly.

London.-Sir Edward Carson, K c.,
who practiced in Ireland for many
years before coming to England, and
who was an expert witness before the
divorce commission here the other
day, expressed the belief that every
obstacle should be thrown in the way
of those who sought divorce to make
1t difficult to obtain DEGREES
He said it would be fatal mistake
to make the obtaining of divorces
easier. He believed a Judge should
exhaust every effort to induce those
seeking divorces to settle their diff
culties out of court and to become
united
When Sir Edward was told thet
working people had not the facilities
of the Weather to obtain divorces, he
invariably replied that he would equal

down the facilities of the wealthy
In Sir Edwards opinion, the damages

worth of a wife.
When asked if he would not be in

that he thought judges were inclined
to be even more parsimonious in such
cases than juries.

LIVING BECOMES A HABIT
For Those Who Reach Maturity and
Form Many Ties, Dying Is
No Easy Matter.

Living, like other acts often re-
peated, grows upon US. 1t is not the
child. 1t is not the youth, even, who is
bound to life. That was a very rare
instance of the little boy who, res
cued from runaway accident with
his mother, turned to her and said:
ooh, mother! Wasn't 1t good thing
was saved! 1t wouldn't have mat
tered so much for you If you had
died, because you're old. But am so
young; 1t would have been awful for
me to die" AS a rule, the young
child takes life and death together all
as matter of course, and there Is
rarely any fear in child's mind of
the hereafter, unless 1t has been sown
there by injudicious reading. But
those who have lived to maturity and
after; who are married to all the
sweet and pleasant habits of living;
who have learned to love and observe
the holy regularity of nature and to
watch the infinite variety of her
beauty; who find themselves bound by
thousand ties to their fellow men,
kindred friends, and acquaintances;
who see their lives all woven into the
pattern of the other lives about them ;
who delve into human history and
watch for each sign of progress, each
| inclination and tendency-for these 1t

LATEST IN SURGERY

general description, for there are vari-
atoms of the success specified.
The rings thus fitting flush against
each other and tightly bound togeth-
err form union. The clamps are re-
moved and the blood stream flows as
ever through the accustomed channel
The metal of which the rings are
made is only slightly acted upon at
first by the fluids of the body and
the salt They are thoroughly steril-
ized before their Introduction, either
in distilled water or spring or lake
water which is only slightly saline.
For 30 days the rings hold their
original shape and at the end of that
period they begin to break down and
in from so to 100 days they have
been completely absorbed into the
system.
Conclusions the surgeons reach Is
that the use of these rings makes
the operation safe, certain and easy
and brings 1t well within the skill
of the average surgeon. They declare
that the operation is applicable in all
wounds of the large vessels and that
it is possible to remove short
