Greeks. In this case it has proved so. l visited the Red Mountain Iron works, about five miles from Elyton. They have been constructed under the super vision of MT. Brennan of Ireland, late of the iron works of Nashville. They are prodigious and are just going into oper- ation.
 The company, consisting of such cap italists as Mr. William Gilmer of Mont gomery, MT. Daniel Pratt of Prattville and MT. Brennan. in all I think 1O0 $5O,- 900 being the smallest sum invested by any one, are about starting an establish ment for the manufacture of locomo- tiVes, etc.
 A railroad will soon be in operation to these works. A town is also laid off in the vicinity. There are no other iron works within a few miles distance.
 The Red mountain works are at the foot of Shades mountain, so called be- cause the Shades of Death" In creek bearing this cognomen winds round its base. The summit is sublime. the seen cry is grand and sublime beyond de- scription. Here on the very top on Wednesday, September 14,1S64, l mar ried the Rev. J. F. Tarrant of Tuskaloo- sa to Miss Susan F. Hale of PrattVille, Ala. at the summer home of her father, Gardner Hale Immediately after the ceremony the bridal pair descended from these airy, romantic heights to the lower and more prosaic walks of life. May their journey through life be happy and long.
 In front of Mr. Hale's residence there is an immense rock, so poised on the adjacent rock that it is made to swing perceptibly in climbing on it. Near the top of the mountain is a cavernous spring of freestone water and not far distant another of chalybeate. MT. Hale is laying out his grounds in areable fields, vineyards and orchards. this point on the summit being safer from frosts than at the base of the mountain. T. o. s.
 The years that have passed since the above letter was written have wrung many, many changes. Mrs. H. O. Will itams, a daughter of Mrs. Hale, owns the old homestead, where she d'spenses hos pitality according to the old regime.

AFTER THIRTY YEARS.
letter Which Is Interesting in the Light of
 Today

Thirty years ago Dr. Summers of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, had occasion to visit Shades mountain, near Oxmoor, then called Red mountain. and with the eye of prophet he looked into the future and read several pages that have been verified. Here is a letter he wrote on his return to Tuskaloosa:
 Tuskaloosa. Ala, Sept. 21, 1S64.-To Nashville Advocate-Mr. Editor: I have just returned from little tour of seven- ty or eighty miles into Jefferson county.
 This county lies east of Tuskaloosa. It is a mountainous and romantic region and is destined to be one of the wealth fest in the Confederacy. The mountains of iron ore in this county are perhaps unparalleled in their richness You can almost put the ore on the forge and work it without smelting it.
 Adjacent to these marvellous deposits are vast masses of fire proof sandstone, limestone of various kinds, forests to yield charcoal, stone coal in abundance fin short everything needed for the pro- duction of the best iron in the world

Sanford, August 14-This place is in q
state of excitement tonight, such as has
not existed since last February, when the
Fernald trouble occurred and occupied
the public attention. Harry Taylor, q
young married man, who has recently
joined the church, and who has been
carrying on persistent warfare against
the rum traffic, was the victim of a
murderous assault by burly stranger,
| whom it is believed was hired by some OF
the dealers in the ardents to come here
and pound the life out of Taylor. Talyor,
who had been to South Sanford, rode in
to his dooryard on his bicycle. When he
dismounted from his wheel he saw two
men standing few feet apart The
smaller of the two made motion with
his arm and the big fellow spoke to
Taylor. saying, 'syou are the man I'm
looking for. - At the same time he
lunged forward and struck Taylor a
terrific blow on the head telling him to
the ground. Taylor was game, and
fought desperately. After the fellow
pounced upon him Talyor tried to get his
feVolVer OUT OF MS MP pocket, but before
he could succeed, the cries of Mrs. Taylor,
who had taken hand in her husband (
behalf frightened the burly stranger
away. Taylor then gave chase, firing
three shots, but whether any took effect
or not is not known. He left his hat,
however, and this the officers regard as a
good clew. They say they will leave nc
stone unturned in their efforts to bring
the fellow to Justice. The hat which the
officers have in their keeping, is a black
derby. size 5-S and has Bangor firms
trado mark in the crown. 1t is believed
that the fellow who pointed Taylor out tc
the stranger, belongs in town. Taylor
says he is positive that he will know his
assailant if he ever sees him again.
Taylor is badly bruised, but not serious
ly injured By this action tonight the
rumsellers have lost what little public
ympathy they had and their doom is
practically sealed.

ATYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR

Three Years Before it Was Expected.

lSPEClAL TO THE PRESS.I
| Calais, Aug. a. 1t is said here that
within ten days Messrs. George P. West

tender to Col. J. N. Green the $25, 900 al
lowed him for his plans of the route and
rights in the new Washington County
Railway. The Legislature in providing
| for the building of the new road by the
county's aid stipulated that Col. Green or
his associates should receive this amount.
| There is a hitch about the matter as
some of the Colonel's companions in the
enterprise claim share of the money. 1t
| is regarded here as good as settled that
| Portland gentlemen will finance the road,
taking the franchise and issuing bonds to
an amount not exceeding $4,000 mile
| The road is to be 112 miles long, SO if it
was bonded for the sum named, the bond

that Barron went to this expense and
trouble to preserve secrecy and then come
home and told of buying the handouts is
absurd.
Mr.. Powers referred to the tracing of
the team and took up several of the
points made by Judge Crosby, arguing
that they proved nothing. To read from
the evidence and then from a newspaper,
to take an extract from the charge of the
judge and then from the opinion of the
court would not give fair idea of a case
which occupied two weeks in the trial.
Mr.. Powers said he hoped that now this
matter would be finally settled and would
no longer be held up as matter not yet
determined. He hoped for this in the in
terest of justice and the proper admins
tration of law.

They VIII Wait But Short Time For a
Voluntary increase-They are Already
Preparing to Enforce Their Demands.
Fall River, August H. The voice of
the big Textile unions in this city is be-
ing raised for an advance in wages to
the rates paid previous to September,
1885, and in the executive committee
meetings Of the Carders, Spinners and
Weavers unions last night, in every in
stance the wage question was discussed
and plans for effecting restoration acted
on. AT the Weavers meeting the senti-
ment was unanimously in favor of taking
some action as soon as possible Secretary
Whitehead gave out the facts today to
show why the price of weavings should
be increased from IS to 81 cents per cut.
Collectors for unions are being told every
day it is time some action was taken to
have wages advanced. The union funds
are larger than ever before in the six
years existence of the weavers association,
and 65 per cent of the staple weavers in
the city are enrolled on the books and

went all over the ground, the secretary
said today and voted to make arrange
ments at once for holding district meet
lngs in the city, preparatory to holding
one large meeting to take final action on
a plan to ask and enforce an advance
These meetings will be open to all
weaYers, whether union members or not
Secretary White head said 1t is not i'm
probable the New Bedford weavers would
join in a request for more pay through
the state federation.
the executive committee concluded the
markets were so improved that the
operatives have right to expect an
immediate and voluntary advance in
wages.
The Spinners' committee and Secretary
Howard think the time has come when
an advance should be given. Assuming
price the mills paid for the material they
are using, the margin today is 80 cents.
For some time Secretary Howard says,
wages in other New England cotton
centres have been restored, and Fall
River and New Bedford are the only
laggards;, The Fall River spinners were
reduced 15 per cent, and only per cent
restored. After long discussion the
secretary advised the men to wait couple
of weeks longer to see if business showed
continued strength, when special meet
ing might be called. His advice was
taken.
The three secretaries were asked if there
was likely to be any strike or serious
labor trouble. All agreed in thinking
there would not be for month at least.
There is feeling that the Iron Works
mills will advance voluntarily in a short
time, and it is reported at the weayers'
headquarters that such an advance is ex-
pected daily by the help there the re-
covery of business has been so quick.
