Hustling Town-M Many Improvements.
 Political Millennium Near.
 Greensboro, Oct. 15.-(Special Core spondence.)- circuit court for Hale county has been in session since last Monday The grand jury adjourned Sat urday and reported thirty-nine true bills. No capital cases were reported and there are none on the criminal docket. Our county is free from offenses of the high est grade and in good condition in the matter of crime. The bonds of all otfl- cers, with the exception of few magis trates, were reported good. and the finan- cial condition ot the county good. Taking all things into consideration Hale is the best county in the state and Greensboro the best town, and more improvements have been made in our town than any other town of its size in the state with in the past four years. Greensboro has the best schools, the finest churches, the ablest lawyers the most skillful phySi- clans, the most enterprising merchants in fact the most refined and hoSpitable population of any town of 2000 inhab- itants to be found anywhere. and the man who wants good place to do bus- ness in or to raise and educate his chil- dren had better move here and build him a home before the few remaining vacant places are occupied.
 The political millennium is near at hand and the golden lion and silver lamb are about to lie down together, as an evil dence of which the Watchman has spoken in the most f1attering terms of the Hon. A. G. Smith as a suitable and desir- able candidate for governor. If the Ad- vertiser doesn't call halt on it's young diciples there is going to be trouble in the camp.
 For wonder the negroes are holding back their cotton for better prices, and although there is a large crop made but very little is brought to market.
 The estimated receipts of cotton at this point is $500 bales against 10000 bales last year. The river is too low for boats and cotton which is usually shipped by river to Mobile is coming here.
 MT. J. H. Y. Webb has been quite i'll for several days, but is now improving.
 Dr. F. M. Peterson and Mrs Peterson left few days ago for New York to be absent several weeks.

OUR COAL TRADE.
The Northern Rivers Have Been Too Low to Navigate and Birmingham Coal Dealers
 Unable to Supply the Demand.

A State Herald reporter was informed by a coal operator yesterday that more orders for coal were being received than could possibly be filled under existing circumstances. He said his company was forced to turn down orders, both by mail and wire, every day on account of being unable to fill them.
 Said he: We have the finest oppor- tunity for building up a good trade among the plantations of the lower Mis- sissippia that was ever offered us. The waters of the Ohio river have been so low during the summer that it was impossi- ble for Pennsylvania and West Virginia coal to be shipped there, and as con- sequence we have been requested to make sample shipments of from two to half a dozen carloads with a view to future large orders. My company has had to decline these simply because our output is no greater than the local demand, and this Is the case with almost every other company in the district"
 why don't you increase the output? asked the reporter.
 '"The men will not work full time, was the response. Continuing, he said: i'When the advancing iron and coal mar ket justified us in paying higher scale for mining coal the miners began to work less time. For instance, IT a man wanted to make $30 in a month ana nad been making L1dl dIHOunt dlioCi thS NtN scale in six days, under the new scaie five days work each week was probably all that was necessary, and if so, when he did his five days work, he would quit. This being the case, our output has act ually decreased, although our pay roll IS about the same as before. By their fall ure to work full time, as they did prior to the advance in wages, the miners alone in this district lose not less than $20O0 day and the coal companies lose a considerable sum, besides having their market curtailed.
 "It's a serious condition that confronts us" he added and will prevent us from enlargng our markets. In a few weeks Pittsburg will be able to float 1,0O0,Ooo tons of coal down the Mississippi, ana then our opportunity to capture tnat trade will have been lost. Now the big planters want our coal, and will take good quantities of it if we can only ship it to them."

OUR CHARITABLE NEGROES
Interest Themselves in Behalf of those Vho Have Returned From Mexico.
 Their Donations.

The colored churches of the city have interested themselves in behalf Of the Alabama negroes who recently returned from Mexico particulars of which the State Herald has from time to time pub lished, and as a result of the work done among the members the following con- tributions are announced
 St Johns African Methodist Episcopal church, $1339; Sixteenth Street Baptist church, $4.9S; Shiloh church. $4.00; Sixth Avenue Baptist church, South, s3.23; St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal church, $3.05; St. Marks Episcopal church, $1;50; St., James Colored Methodist Episcopal church, $1.1O; Congressional church, $1.0S. Total, $36.83.
 The money thus collected is to be used in providing transportation from Bir- mingham to Tuskaloosa for the negroes now here, having been brought to this city from Eagle Pass by the govern ment, and to provide them with such necessaries as they require.
 Thirteen of the negroes were sent to their old homes in Tuskaloosa county yesterday and others will be sent soon as money to defray their expenses can be secured.
