NEW CAR WHEEL WORKS
To Be Erected Here by Chicago
Capitalists.
WORK TO BEGIN NEXT WEEK
And the Plant Will Be in Operation by April
1 With Sixty Skilled
Employes.
Birmingham will start oft the nt w year
•with the establishment ot a new indus
trial plant.
The contract for it was signed yester
day and the deeds to the land executed.
To clinch the matter a money payment
was made, and now all that remains to
be done Is to begin work on the erection
of the building and the placing of ma
chinery therein.
The capital to build the plant comes
from Chicago and every stockholder is
a resident of that city. Not a dollar of
Birmingham money will go into the
plant. The gentlemen at the head of the
enterprise are now In Birmingham and
will remain until work on the plant be
gins, which will be within the next week
or ten .days- They have with them an
architect, who has been instructed to
draw the plans for the building, and
contractors have also been consulted.
Notwithstanding all arrangements
have been perfected and work is to begin
in a few days, the gentlemen Interested
in the enterprise will not consent for
their names to be made public just yet.
The plant they will establish here will
make car wheels and will be located on
the Louisville und Nashville and Ala
bama Great Southern railroads, near the
Birmingham Bolling mill. The works
will b- in operation by the 1st of April,
at which time sixty skill'd mechanics
will be given employment. This number
is to.be added to until at the beginning of
the year 1X117 the company will employ
not less than 150 men.
Negotiations for the location of this
plant here were begun seven or eight
months ago by Malone & Bell of this
city. They succeeded In Interesting sev
ered Chicago parties, who sent a repre
sentative to Investigate and report the
prospects for car works If located here.
That report was favorable and then be
gan the negotiations for land. etc. Not
until yesterday was everything settled
and all deeds and papers signed.
The machinery to be used In the car
works Is all new. never having been used
before and having Just been purchased
from the factories. The plant will be
first-class in every particular and the
company putting It In have ample capi
tal to successfully operate it.

THE VENEZUELA QUESTION.
Sentiment of the American Press on the
Situation.
The declarations of Mr. Cleveland’s
special message on the Venezuelan affair
are very serious. They are more so
than the American public had expected,
though they are absolutely in harmony
with the brief statement contained in
the message of December 3.—New York
Times, Dem.
There is no jingoism In the president’s
message; neither is there weakness, or
cowardice, or "supine submission.” The
answers to the points of Lord Salisbury’s
reply are plain and direct, and the presi
dent wastes no words In quibbling over
technicalities, but grasps the situation In
a broad, patriotic spirit.—Washinlgton
Star, I nd.
Its conspicuous feature is Its clear,
ringing Americanism. Not a discordant
note Is sounded. The president appears
to know what the Monroe doctrine is and
how it should be enforced, and he is
ready to lend his aid to congress, In
spite of the warnings of timid organs or
the Insolent flings of his self-constituted
advisers.—Baltimore American, Rep.
The unanimity with which congress
and the people support the president in
this Venezuela matter makes It certain
that there will be no backdown on the
part of this country. Greatly as a war
between the two great English-speaking
peoples is to be deplored, there will be
war between them if it is found that
Great Britain has seized Venezuela ter
ritory, and she Insists upon retaining
possession of that territory.—Savannah
News, Dem.
Great Britain has possessions adjoin
ing the territory of Venezuela. There is a
difference of opinion between the two
countries as to where the boundary line
between them Ilea. With that dispute
we have absolutely nothing to do. For
us to make the quarrel our own, as the
president and congress seem to In
tend. would be as arrogant a proceeding
as any of Great Britain's bulldozing In
terferences with other people’s affairs
for land-grabbing purposes.—New York
w oria, i.iem.
At last Grover Cleveland has risen
above the narrow confines of a pettifog
ging partisan, and at one leap has reached
the high plane of patriotism. It makes
no difference to the American people
what the politics of the occupant of the
white house may be when the nation is
facing a crisis. It la only important
that the president shall be representative
of all the people In their views, and above
all else, broad-minded, liberal, patriotic
and an American through and through.
—New York Advertiser, Rep.
We have a flag, then. It appears. It Is
not foolish and ignoble, to speak of
national dignity and honor. We are not
blustering bullies and swashbucklers
who have Invoked the love and pride of
country and stood for the sacredness of
American soil as against encroachment
by the European powers. The "Jingoes"
were right, after all, and It Is not to be
the fashion henceforth to sneer at
patriots and soldiers. If those who
stood for the country. Its traditions and
Us ensign were 1 Jingoes.” then Is Grover
Cleveland the greatest ‘'Jingo” of them
all.—Washington Post, Ind.
Thomas Jefferson was a pretty good
American. He said In 1803 that a main
object of the United States "must be to
exclude al European Influence In this
hemisphere." That was fifteen years be
fore the promulgation of the Monroe doc
trine. In 1823, when President Monroe
asked Jefferson’s advice about enunciat
ing the doctrine. Jefferson said: "Our
first and fundamental maxim should be
never to entangle ourselves In the broils
of Europe. Our second, never to suffer
Europe to Intermeddle with Cisatlantic
affairs.*’—Indianapolis Journal.
A FUTILE EFFORT
To Choke to Death a Home Institution Being
Made—It Will Not Succeed.
The Southeastern Tariff association
has caused the association companies to
leave the Birmingham Underwriters’
agency because it represents the South
ern Mutual Fire Insurance company of
Alabama. The Southern Mutual does
business only in Alabama and proposes
to return the profits to the policy holders,
and for this reason the tariff association
is taking steps to choke it to death. The
Birmingham Underwriters’ agency is
prepared to take care of every policy
now in the companies leaving its agency
by placing them in other good companies
that do not belong to the association.
We trust that not a single one of our
patrons will desert us In this effort to
crush us. If other agencies should so
licit the business in the companies which
have left us, we will doubly appreciate
it should you elect to tell them that it is
your derision to let us continue to take
care of your business. It is not to be be
lieved that the people of Birmingham
and Alabama will allow the Tariff asso
ciation to make them a party to choke
to death an honest effort to build up a
home institution. The association has
precipitated this matter and made it
necessary for the people of Birmingham
and Alabama to decide whether they will
uphold the Tariff association in its arbi
trary methods by means of which It at
tempts to destroy home institutions.

Making Bargains.
“Everything marked down to the lowest
possible point?'’ said thoiuorohant Inquir
ingly.
“Everything,” replied theolerk- "I put
tho 91.50 silks at $1.25 and everything elso
in proportion.”
“At $1.26!” exclaimed the morohant.
“Are you crazy?”
“Why, no, sir. You told me to mark
them down for a genuine bargain ealo. ”
“Of course I did, but do you think a
woman can ever see a bargain In even
money? Make them either $1.24 or $1.26
at once.”—Chicago Post.
THE nUSCULAR SYSTEM
^g^k every weary,
thin or thin blood
work with con
stant diflicultyand
fatigue. They feel
“worn,” or tired
out, “run-down”
or nervous.
Feeble people
who are dyspep
tic, find that ex
ercise after a meal
is sure to cause
lessened power to
digest food — be
cause there is so
little blood, and
what there is, is
carried off from
the gastric organs
to the muscles.
What is needed
is plenty of blood,
H7/rI - 'w anu uiai ui luc
right kind. Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery makes
pure, rich blood, and to gain in blood is
nearly always to gain in wholesome flesh up
to the healthy standard.
Every one should have a certain surplus
of Qesh to meet the emergencies of sick
ness ; to resist the attack of consumption,
grip, malaria and fevers. Thin blooded
people are always getting sick, and none of
the organs of the body can get along with
out the food they require for work, which is,
pure blood. To gain and to keep strength
and flesh is the secret of health, usefulness
and happiness. With new blood and re
freshed nerves a confident feeling of return
ing health comes also.
Nervous manifestations, such as sleep
lessness, nervous debility and nervous
prostration are in nine cases out of ten “ the
cry of the starved nerves for food.” If you
feed the nerves on pure rich blood the
nervous symptoms will cease. It is bad
practice to put the nerves to sleep with so
called celery mixtures, coca compounds or
malt extracts: what is needed is a blood
maker. The " Discovery ” is composed of
vegetable ingredients which have an es
pecial effect upon the stomach, liver, and
blood making glands. For the cure of
dyspepsia, indigestion, liver complaint,
weakened vitality, and for puny, pale peo
ple, Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov
ery cannot be equaled. Thousands have
testified to its merits. _

_ How weak
the soap and water seems when you begin
your washing! You don’t get any strength
out of it i till the work is about done.
Plenty of hard work and rubbing
and wear and tear, even then—but
more of it at the beginning; when
the water is weakest.
Now with Pearline, the water is just as
strong at the beginning as at the end.
This is one of the reasons (only one) why
Pearline acts so much better than soap, in all
washing and cleaning. Use no soap with it.

In flu Things All The Time
THERE are many GOOD life insurance companies, but among
them all there must be one BEST. THE BEST is THE
