For some time past the Rev. George
f. Williams and a few Christian friends
have employed a wagon in their visits
to localities where the Gospel rarely
reaches the success of the work fur
nishing encouragement for a better equip
ment.
To this end he has secured n wagon
adapted to the purpose. 1t has a side
platform TO speak from, with room III
SIDE for an organ and choir of twelve
singers. This novel method attracts good
audiences The singing Of Gospel songs
and the earnest Christian talks reach the
ears of many who would not otherwise
avail themselves of the opportunities to
hear the glad tidngs of salvation, and
the inspiring songs from happy Christian
voices ring out TO attract to a higher
life those now lost in sin. This method
has been blessed VIII srever employed, en-
abling the holding of several services
during an evening.
Mr. Williams needs all the Christian
help and sympathy in his labor of love.

the two classes and matters at the old
Institution is a practical and successful
business man.
sThcre are. however, several other plans
which he doubtless overlooks. one OF
tfese is for building for the blind
school, dormitcry. and refractory build
ing on the institution grounds. or either
purchase or lease such as the old Sher-
wood UaptisD Institute on Gospel Hill
lust above. This would enable one prin-
cipal or superintendent TO look after
both at the same time and just as now.
In fact, these would make very little
change. and would very likely be found
more economical than the present sit
uatlon. Another. should the blind be
smaller I'm number In he hereafter, then
offer them scholarships at either Balti-
more. Raleigh. or Romney-as many 9TH
er States have done. and some now do.
Whether this would meet with satisfac-
ton with the majority is not known, but
with some, at least. II does.
At any rate, let us have separate
schools for the deaf and the blind. Let
or friends leave no stone unturned that
will accomplish the object sought. The
deaf and the blind belong to us-they are
of every class amongst us. If they do not
come from even our own homes. and
look into their schools or even upon them
removes every vestige of what is COM
monty. even to this day. called charity.
Mr. Editor, the matter is a necessity,
the results of a successful accomplish
ment of this will soon show the wisdom
of it, and II the outlay be considered an
Investment ii will give an ample return.

THOSE SILVER CONVENTIONS.

The smoke has lifted, and it is now seen that the Illinois free silver con vention fell short of it's mark. It was intended that this convention should be followed by similar conventions in the Southern and Western States but ocratic committees of several States have fatty refused to follow the Illinois ex- ample. Notable among these commit
 tees are those of Texas. Missouri. Kan sas and Iowa. The Illinois example did not have the influence expected because the leading Democrats of that State de- nounced the movement. They held aloof from the primaries and allowed the selec- ton of delegates to go by default. It was repudiated by the Chicago Chronicle, and by such leaders as William k. Morri- son and John M. Palmer It is alto gether probable that the movement will cut no figure at all when the National Convention is called. If the Illinois con vention has had any effect at all. it has been in favor of the sound money Democrats. It has brought out an ex- preSsion from the members of the Dem- ocratic National Committee as to hold ing a convention 10 define the attitude of the party on the money question. Nearly all the Northern and Eastern committeeman are opposed to such a move, and several of the Western mem- bers are of the same opinion.

the man had been in his drug store the night before and told him of having been on a drunk for two weeks and asked him to lend him 35 cents to buy some bromidia with in order to sober up. The doctor gave him the medicine and instructed him how to use 1t, telling him to call around in the morning at o clock and that he would give him fur ther treatment This he failed to do. pr. Smith says that an ounce or pro- midia, the quantity which he gave him, would not kill d man whose condition was normal All of our other physicians also ttest to this There is a rumor that the deceased had another vial with him, but if such is true it has never been found.

 Selma, June 1S.-(Special Correspond e.)-Last evening as mail train No. 67, on the Southern, the afternoon train to Birmingham, passed Parhams bridge it was Jagged down by workmen who are rebuilding the bridge. The train slowed up, and after passing over the bridge put on a full head of steam again.
 A quarter of a mile beyond the bridge the engineer was shocked to see man sitting on the end of a cross tie, ap- parently asleep, not 200 yards ahead of the engine. He had on white shirt. and just beyond him was a white stock gap, which prevented the engineer from seeing him sooner. The steam was shut off, the engine reversed and the air brakes applied quicker than it takes to tell it. The train slac<ed up, but before it could be stopped the engineer was mortified to see the man turned over and over under the edge of the engine ten der then shoot down the embankment like big ball.
 As quick as the train stopped the crew ran down to where the man was lying expecting to find him corpse, or at least to find him with arms and legs missing, but to their surprise he was, with the ex- ception of q few bruises unin1ured. His name was Dick Latimer, a young white man who had been sent out by the bridge foreman to flag southbound trains. He says he wasn't asleep, and certain it is that he was wide awake when the crew reached him.

INDUSTRIAL NOTES.

It is said that the advance in the price of iron will cause idle furnaces to blow in. The trouble will be in getting mate-' rial. The furnaces now running con- sume all the coke, ore and limestone that is on the market. The furnaces that supply their own material have no trou- ble. but those that go in the market and buy will have to pay high prices. In ten days time nearly every first-class furnace in the district will be in blast. The idle stacks have not the modern inn provements.
 No. l foundry is now selling for $S.75. When it reaches $9 the miners will re- ceive an advance of 21s cents ton on coal. This advance will almost certainly be made in the next thirty days For every advance of 50 cents ton the miners will receive 2R cents increase until the price of iron reaches $11 per ton, when the miners will receive 90 cents ton. Thereafter the price of mining will advance 21A cents for each $1 advance in the net price of iron. This is the agreement as to Pratt mines, but the other mines are based upon it. The price now paid at Pratt is 371s cents. This sliding scale was agreed to between the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company and the miners in Aa- gust. 1894. At that time No. 1 foundry was selling for $S per ton, but it grad ually dropped to $7.25. In April of this year it began to advance, until the pres ent price of $S.75 was reached. The com pany will not reap the benefit of this advance for a month yet, for they are filling past contracts at former prices. The Tennessee company was the first iron company in the United States to advance prices. The furnaces in Penn sylvania and Virginia have since ad- vanced prices also.
 The railroads have not vol heo11u n make the improvements necessary for enlarged traffic. When they do there will be great demand for iron. The prospect for a good crop is very fine, and the railroads will have all the hauling they can do from this on. They are now preparing to get more rolling stock, for they will need every car by fall. The hospital tracks are now full of cars that need overhauling.
 The Pioneer Mining and Manufactur- ing company has advanced the wages Of it's ore miners at Geothite 10 per cent.
 The first movement towards building canning factory at East Lake was made last night. A number of the fore most citizens of that place met at Hunts hall and discussed the ways and means of building this factory.
