DIR. o. T. DozIER's BOOK ENDORSED BY A
 PROMINENT MINISTER.
 Rev. l.. S. Handley, D. D., pastor of the Central Presbyterian church of this city, himself Confederate veteran, thus writes of "Foibles of Fancy and Rhymes of the Times," Dr. o. T. Dozier's book of poems:
 BIRMINGHAM, Jan. 24, 1895.
 DEAR DR. DozIER: 1 have read with very great interest nearly everything in the handsome volume placed in my hands of your "Foibles of Fancy,o etc., 'with compliments, love and esteem of autbor.' You give your readers ricn and rare va riety. Each section has merit and exhibits talent. But your strength, beauty and pathos come out in your campaign and pa triotic section. In this part find pecul- jar glow and richness. No one can read this part and not be deeply impressed with the fervor of your patriotism and the depth of your love for our southland. Your rev. erence for the lost cause, for our honored dead and for the old soldier will endear you and your book to our southern people. Your ode on" Our Sunny Land and Southern Deado regard one of your best. May your beautiful sentiments burn themselves into the hearto of our southern youth. Let me thank you for the exquisite volume and the kindly manner in which it came to me. I prize the book, and will preserve it care- fully. With my very best wishes for you and yours, am your friend,

WITH THE RAILROADS.

Mir. W. H. Doll of the Southern has been appointed travelling passenger agent of that road, with headquarters in Knoxville, Tenn. to fill the place of MT. John L. Milan, who resigned few days ago.
 Mr. Doll is not new mau in the passen- n- ger business, but as been connected with the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia in that line since 1886. His appointment meets the approval of the passenger fra ternity. He is an excellent business man and will make first class passenger agent, for he is man who knows the business.
 AFTER THE PREACHERS.
 There is move among several of the railroads to make ministers pay full fare and not to make them any more conces- sions than any other men. In fact, it is talked that this matter will be brought ur at the next meeting of the Southern Pas senger association.
 The present arrangement is such that all ministers of the gospel are provided with permits, which, presented at ticket offices of the lines upon which they are issued entities them to 2-cent rate. This privi- lege Is badly abused, and it is a means by which the railroads in many instances lose money.
 In railroad circles it seems that the opin . ion is that the railroad companies will do better by making preachers pay full fare.
 WELL PLEASED VISITORS.
 MT. John A. Zellers, union ticket agent at Kansas City, accompanied by Hon. Webster Davis, mayor of Kansas City, spent several hours in the city yesterday. These distinguished gentlemen were on their way from Kansas City to Jackson vile, Fla. They were shown around the city by Mir. Charles Jones, southern pas- senger agent of the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham, and other gentlemen Both expressed themselves pleased with what had been seen during the short time they spent here, and agreed with local people that Birmingham has q glorious future.

GAVE HIMSELF UP.
Charles Joseph Imagines Himself a Prophet-Says He Is a Mur- derer and Surrenders to
 tue Authorities.

Nearly three weeks ago in Scratch Ankle Pinkie Hardy, negress, died from the ef- feet of bullet wound in the breast.
 Word was sent to the city prison and Mayor Van Hoose, Officer Wilson and an AaE-HERALD reporter went down to inves- tigate the case.
 At the time of the investigation every thing looked suspicious, and the suspicion pointed to one Charles Joseph, negro, who was in the room at the time of the killing and who seemed to have been mixed up in the killing. However, the evidence did not appear strong enough for conviction at that time.
 Joseph, in company with negro woman, was arrested and locked up on a charge of murder. They were turned over to the coroner, who in turn, after an in- vestigation, turned them over to Justice Benners, in order that the affair might be more thoroughly ventilated. At the trial a few days ago Joseph and his supposed accomplice were turned loose by Justice Benners, owing to the fact that the evil dence produced was not sufficient for con- viction.
 Joseph, after being turned loose, wan dered about the city in manner that showed something heavily to be hanging over his mind. He was out of money and wanted to get money to pay Attorney Nc. Crossin for clearing him. He told some of the negroes that the mlunlgnG que nau fallen upon his head and that he had been made prophet, and moreover he could not be tortured with the thoughts of re- maining unpunished for crime he had committed. He was ashamed in the sight of God and his fellow man, and to do good as a prophet he ought to let the world know his sins. He told some of his fel. lows he was called by God to do good, and that his work would be to ferret out mur- ders and crimes of the world.
 Ia view of this he thought the best thing this side of the grave for him to do was to give himself up to the officers of the law.
 About 1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon he walked down to the police station and gave himself up.
 He is supposed to be crazy.

clearly provided for by the constitution.
 We may admit that the bill can only be passed constitutionally by a two-thirds vote of all the members elected 10 each house.
 A question has arisen. namely: Whether or not the entire legislation creating and maintaining the public school system of Birmingham is not unconstitutional2
 The subject, we conceive, is disposed of very fully in the case of Schultes ys. Eb erly, 82 Ala. Reps. PA tseq. Our supreme court says: 'While there can be no ques- ton of the power of the legislature to es- tablish separate school districts and to create them bodies corporate, as aux diaries in the administration of the general system, the constitution makes no pro- vision for such districts, and no implied powers arise.' Again, on page 245, we read: "Such corporations, being consid- cred parts of the machinery of the necessary aud most effective to manage the local affairs of the people residing in the designated locality, by custom immemorial, portion of the political powers of the state has been delegated to them to be exercised in local administration; and the authority to delegate, + not expressly incorporated in the constitution, may be regarded as clearly implied.' Cooley on Taxation, 63.
 Here we have, first, the power in the leg islature to create separate school districts, and secondly, the authority to delegate a portion Of the political power of tue state to be exercised Tn the local admin lstration of the Birmingham school system.

A PYTHlAN TEMPLE
Is What Is Contemplated by Phenix Lodge Committee Appointed.
 The Chairman Talks.

Birmin gham is to have a Pythian tenn pie, and it is to be erected in short time, too, at n cost of not less than $25, GOO.
 This has long been agitated, but now it has been taken hold of right and will be carried through.
 The promoters of the move are the mem- bers of Phenix Lodge No. 25, Knights of Pytbias, of this city.
 At recent meeting the following com mittee was appointed to look into the mat ter and to make out plans 10 be presented at the next meeting:
 G. Rotholtz, chairman; Eugene Enslen A. H. Stevens, Emil Lesser and Al Hirscher.
 reporter yesterday Chairman Rotholtz said: ''I nave been appointed on com :. :nittee to draw up plans and look into the building of a Pythlan temple in Birming- ham. This committee has been at work for day or two, and DOW we have two centrally located lots under consideration although we are open to bids from any and all real estate men.
 "What we propose to do is to build & four story building in the central portion ol the city, and that at cost of not less than S25, ,000. The building will be principally for the secret lodges of the city. The first floor will be for rent to merchants.
 ttThe front of the second story will be cut up into offices, while in the rear p1rt will be hall with seating capacity of not less than 500.
 "The third story will be for the Knights of Pythias and other secret orders.
 ''rhe fourth floor will be entirely for the use of the Masonic fraternity.
 fThe building will be supplied with all the modern improvements and constructed strictly up to date.
 "Phenix Lodge No. 25 has enough money in it's treasury to purchase a lot and pay the entire amount spot cash, and there will be no trouble about the other. for it is forthco ming.
 t'Our idea is to get a lot about 100x150, but l don t know whether this plan will be accepted by the lodge or not. Anyway. we are going 10 build Pythian, temple, and 1t will be something beautiful and ornamental when it is finished.''

FoRD,s FRISCO.

When Mir. I. N. Ford of the New York Tribune came to Birmingham he avowed his purpose of writing up our industries. He spent day or two with our iron men, and discussed with them the prospects of steel plant. He zealously kept away from the Republicans and Kolbites, who lay in wait to stuff him. But when he reached South Alabama he fell in the. hauds of the Philistines, and was shorn of his righteous intent tions. He claims to have found q "steel plant'' there bigger than tho one projected in Birmingham. So he has been filling the Tribune the last few days with tale of woe--a tale very tiresome to the pee pie of Alabama, but new perhaps to the readers of the Tribune. He rehashes the same old arguments used ad nauseam by Kolb and his partisan papers.
 MT. Ford claims to have found out that the majority of the whites in the State voted for Kolb instead of Oates. The Tribune editorially takes this view and contends that the political fight in this State is white mans fight aud the negro is not in it. This contention is the gist of the whole matter. This is no new argu- ment to Alabamians-it was urged by Kolb just after the election. MT. Chap pell Cory, then associate editor of the AGE HERALD, entered into an exhaustive argument to prove that Kolb did not have a majority of the white vote. In fact, he showed from the returns that Kolb had no basis for any of his pretensions. He suc- cessfully solved the "fifteen puzzle.'' No man is more familiar with Alabama politics than Mr. Cory, and more to the purpose than that, he is an honorable man. and even more to the point than that, he is a personal friend to Kolb, having toured the North west with him in "Alabama on Wheels True, immediately after writing the article Mir. Cory left for Lon don, but he can he reached by cable at the rate of 25 cents word, and if the Tribune desires to reach him perhaps it can get re- duced rates.
 So the Tribune erred, not having sufi- cient light. It has not committed the un- pardonable sin, which is sinping with all the lights before you, and, therefore, it is not beyond the hope of redemption.
 The object of the Tribune in making these publications is twofold: It desires to influence Congress to send an investi- gating committee to Alabama and then seat contesting Republican Congressman, and it desires to encourage the sentiment for a protective tariff in the South. It's recent utterances do not indicate that love for the negro it wss wont to express so freely and so often. It excuses it's present publications concerning Alabama affairs by saying that it is a ''white mans fight.' In an edi- torial utterance on January l, concerning ballot reform in the South, it said; 1.-The South, with the race question solved, will be a new South. The negro is no longer
 
 years ago. With honest elections, fair measure of home rule, and q people undis- turbed by dread of negro domination, tue South will be on the road to new pros- perity. Then there can be free and fair discussion of national nuestiona.D D

TWO ADVANTAGES.

A cotton mill can be put up 40 per cent cheaper now than year ago. The Demo- cratic tariff bill reduced the duty on cotton mill machinery, and this makes it 40 per cent cheaper. The makers of cotton mill machinery have been forced to reduce their price to meet foreign competition. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat correspondent writes from Lowell that he went Into the big machinery works there and found them making cotton mill machinery to be shipped South. We venture the assertion that this machinery is sold 40 per cent lower than a year ago. The New England manufacturers have all along contended for free coal and free ore, but they wanted the duty kept up on cotton mill machinery :. As long as the Republican party was in power they succeeded in their efforts to keep the duty on cotton mill machinery. This was evidently in favor of New Eng land and against the South, and was sec- tional Legislation. When the party of Ala bamiaus went before the Committee on Ways and Means of the House during the debate on the tariff bill Col. T. G. Bush of Anniston said: "You gentlemen of New England are not consistent in your demands-you ask for free coal and III bu0 AOpo tDdb yOu cau B6t foreign coal and ore cheaper than the home output, and yet you insist on keeping the tariff on cotton mill machinery so as to keep out competition and thus make the South pay Ligh price for the New Eng. land machinery" The majority of the committee recognized the point as well taken, and admitted it's force. The lower price of machinery is another reason that tbs New England cotton mills are forced to move South. Cotton mills can now be erected at so much less expense than !. formerly that the South is enabled to build her own mills. mill that cost S260, ,000 year or so ago can now be erected for S150, ,00o. Every new mill that is built has just that much advantage over the old mills. The cost of machinery is a considerable item of expense. Constant repairs are necessary, and the machinery has life of only about ten years.
 The margin of profit in cotton manu. fscturing is greater TOW than four years kgo. The raw material has fallen nearly

IRON TRADE REVIEW.

CLEVELAND, O., Jan. N.-The Iron Trade Review says today: The iron trade has come down to the last week of Jam uary with little change in actual condi- tions since the opening of the year, but with increasing signs of enlarged volume that will result from present planning. The work has brought further evidence that the year will be fairly active in lake ship building, and the demand from that source already has brought several good contracts into the mills. Structural work on foot in the east, besides the big contract noted last week, will make mills in that section comforta ble when specifications be- gin to come in. That the incursions of western mills, so p otable year ago, have been checked in the east of late may be at- tributed in part to the maintenance of more uniform rates by the railroads-a policy that promises to prevail more and more.
 It is apparent that the period of uu- profitable prices in finished material is not over and that the tonnage of early deliv- cry orders does not go well around, while the mills wait for projected work to ma terialize.
 In the markets east and west bars and plates are showing an excess of producing capacity. Pig iron, apart from the firmer feeling in Bessemer, shows further signs of weakness. There has been little selling since the new year opened, and buyers are pressing for Inducements to place even moderate orders.
 The statistics show that the accumula- tions of iron due to the enlarging produc- tion of the past six months have been at eastern foundry iron furnaces, the char coal furnaces of Michigan and the Besse- mer producing stacks of the central west. The south, having only moderately in creased it's production over the first half of 1894, added but little to it's unsold stocks. The policy of it's chief producer to refuse far forward sales at present prices Is better enforced than is a like stand by northern furnaces.
 Among makers of Bsssemer pig in Ohio and western Pennsylvania the practical certainty of small advance in ore prices may help to maintain the better feeling mo- ticed in the past ten days, but the reduc- tion of coke freight proves partial offset, as the tendency will be to give more to the buyer.
 Pittsburg are reported and at s9. 40 in the valley. The filling up of several mills on billet contracts has strengthened that mar ket, and S14.S5 to S15 at Pittsburg is the present range.
 The starting of the Youngstown plant next week and the prospect that metal will be converted at Lowrain in the second quarter of the year would indicate that any upward movement will nnR far: A fac tor in estimates as to th 6 Ire Is the large she ol % o T0Ds plants the erection of new mills and t4e enlargement of others.
