MIR. JULIAN PASSES
 THROUGH CITY
Going to Memphis to Investigate Tuscumbia's Complaint Against
 the Southern Railroad

Frank ". Julian of Montgomery, one of the railroad commissioners of the state. was in the city for a short time last night between trains. He stopped over on his way from Montgomery to Mem phis, where he Is going on business in connection with his offce
 A conference is to be held in Memphis with officials of the Southern railroad over complaints of towns in north Ala bama which think they have not been treated properly. Among these com- plaints Is that of the city of Tuscumbia. The Southern road formerly ran it's trains through Tuscumbia, but within the last year has changed it's route, going through Sheffield instead of Tuscumbia, and this action is the cause of the complaint.
 Mir. Julian said that there was noth- ing out of the ordinary in the work of the railroad commission in the recent past.
 "The work has been merely routine, . said he. "We have been hearing and ad- tusting complaints. Since. May I have travelled over 20 counties i4 the interest of the commissions work. Some of them were inland counties, and I have in some instance gone 20 miles across coun- try on my trips. The matters to be con- sidered at Memphis are not of a great deal of importance, and we hope to get them satisfactorily settled
 . MT. Julian expressed desire to re- main in Birmingham and see the great fair now in progress. ''I would like very much to stay over tonight and go out to the fair he said. 'I think I shall ge. back by Saturday. anyway, and see the last day at least.'

A NEWSPAPER ADVERTISEMENT
 PROBABLY SAVED HIS LIFE

In December. 1905. I suffered severe- ly with pains in my kidneys and could not sleep nights on account of back ache l became run down, fell off in weight and was at that point when l thought I would have to stop my work as saw filler at the Cedar Creek Saw Mill Co.
 I had used about everything and had called in my doctor, but all to no avail After seeing your advertisement in the newspaper. I made up my mind to try pr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root as a last re- sort After three months treatment I passed a gravel stone and at the end of one years treatment, l was positively cured of all kidney troubles. After talk ing the first bottle l could sleep at night.
 Now I am perfectly healthy and I honestly believe pr. Kilmers Swamp Boot to be a thorough cure for kidney erouble.
 Twill allow you to publish this where 1t may aid others who are suffering and in closing I wish to thank you for my present good health.
 Yours very truly,

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Dr. Washington Explains
the Editor of The Age-Herald.

10 the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 Booker Washington is sometimes com- pelled to charter an entire Pullman in order to get around Jim Crow laws"
 Regarding the above, which was pub lished in your newspaper, I would state that it serves to create an entirely wrong impression.
 For four years at the request of col ored people and white people. in various southern states I have been making edu- cational tours covering during this time Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Della ware, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
 Recently. on the invitation of the Negro Business league of the state of Texas, composed of leading colored people of that state, I made a ten days tour of Texas. Everyone can we'll understand that it would be impossible from a physi- cal point of view for any individual to endure ten days of constant travel speak ing three or four times day without some provision for sleeping at night. On the Texas trip had to travel practically every night to reach the engagements which had been made for me, speaking two and three times day at meetings composed of from 1000 to 5000 persons. and shaking hands with hundreds of them after the meetings. Because of the physi- cal strain the colored people of Texas | themselves, at their own expense, pro- vided Pullman car for me and for the two dozen other colored people, most of whom lived in Texas, who accompanied me So far from getting away from the | colored people, I was with two or three dozen colored people all the time. The white people and colored people through out Texas understood the situation and registered no objection. l did not hear a 1 single word of adverse criticism during the ten days I was in Texas. On the other hand, the newspaper in Texas were most cordial and generous. The theatres or halls where meetings were held were l largely provided by the white people themselves. There was a most cordial feeling manifested at all of these meet ings and I was thanked over and over again by mayors, judges and other pub lie officials, as we'll as by hundreds of the | leading white people of Texas for my visit to their state.
 The harm that such publications as the | attached can do grows out of the fact that they give the impression that there is constant strife and misunderstanding between white people and black people in | the south which does not exist. When I came back, returning through the states of Louisiana and Mississippi, the railroad
 authorities, on their own motion, kindly put at my disposal a day coach, giving as their reason that they wanted to make me as comfortable as possible after my
 ten days hard work.
 So far from getting away from the col ored people, my whole life has been spent
 in direct contact with them, except dur
 ing the time when l am compelled to be
 in the north for business purposes, and
 this the colored people thoroughly under

STILES PREPARING
 FOR ENSLEY BUILDING
Work Will Start on New POstoffice About November 1 and Be Com-
 pleted About June, 1912

Making his first trip south of the Ohio river, George w Stiles. treasurer of the George ". Stiles company of Chicago, ar rived in this city yesterday morning to complete the preparatory arrangements for the erection of the United States post office building at Ensley and to announce that ground will be broken on Novembe< 1 for the structure which is to be reaoy for occupancy within seven months or about June l, 1912. The Stiles company, who make a speciality of postoffice build- ings, are the general contractors for the Ensley office which will be located on corner of Nineteenth street and Avenue c, and have filed plans with the Builders and Traders exchange in this city for competitive bidding from local contrac- tors on the sub-contracts.
 MT Stiles stated that the foundations would probably be ready for the corner stone ceremonies on December 1 and said:
 This is our first work in the south and we hope that 1t will not be our lass as we feel that we are going to like the climate. The Ensley postoffiee, which is almost an exact reproduction of the
 
 laid last week by Speaker of the House Champ Clark, will cost $45,00O, and will be built of dark red faced brick, with cor ners, columns and basement facing of buff colored Bedford stone. The stone is now being cut at Bedford, Ind, by the Henry Struble Cut Stone company of Chicago. The basement and first story will comprise the height of the building and measure about 80 by 70 feet.
 "The interior of the public lobby will be finished with Alabama marble floors above, and on the ground floor will be the postmaster's and assistant posmas- ters' offices, the work room, registry of- flee and general delivery station. In the basement will be the heating plant jani- tors room and swing or lounging room for the clerks and carriers.
 T hope to let all the sub-contracts be- fore I leave the city next Saturday. Carl J. Ness, who is just completing a con- tract at Watertown, Wis, will arrive on November l, to be our local manager. We are dependent on the Birmingham labor market for workmen and will only send men down for special stone cutting and carpentry york;
 Mir. Stiles will be the guest of the Flor ence hotel during his stay fin this city and one of his first introductions to southern industries and agricultural prod ucts was at the Alabama State Fair, which he visited yesterday afternoon.

 Blonde or Brunette

"The blondes complexion fades early, because her skin is extraordinarily thin and fine" says Mms. Lima Cavalieri, perhaps the most famous living beauty The brunette's. as a rule, is the re- verse. The skin is thicker and has a tendency to an oily appearance"
 For either the faded blondes skin or the brunette's oily or sallow com pexion, the best remedy Is ordinary mercolized wax Used daily, this will give one an entirely new complexion within about weeks time. The wax gradually absorbs the worn out sur face skin, with all its defects, little each day, without affecting the deli cate underskin in the least.
