 Cannery Nearing Completion.
 Fayette, July 3-(Special Correspond ence.)-The commission appointed by the Jasper District conference of the Meth odist church at Oakman, Ala a few weeks ago to select location for dis frict high school convened at Winfield yesterday. The commission consisted of J. l. Williams, D. w Ward, Daniel Col Tier, Peyton Norrgee and w H. Mat theWs, and all were present. The com mission organized by appointing J. I. Williams chairman and Daniel Collier secretary
 Several places presented bids for the school. Jasper, a good lot and $25O0 in cash; Guin, 5000 in cash and a large school building and grounds; Sulligent a fine school building. and Fayette the Male and Female institute and 5000 in cash. After 8 hot but pleasant contest on the twenty-fifth ballot, Fayette was selected as the place.
 The trustees will convene here on the 18th of July to elect a principal. While the school is under the control of the district conference, it will not be secta- rian in any sense. Our people are nat uially delighted that Fayette was vic torious It is. believed that large mess halls will be secured here, and accommo- dations made to receive 100 boarders by the opening of the school in September. This movement will give lively impetus ito the school interest here. A school of high order will be placed on foot The county alliance met five miles north of this place today.

PRICES OF IRON.

Suppose pig iron continues to advance, will 1t not reach a point where England can import her iron and undersell us? This is possible. but not probable. Iron has sold in this country at a higher price than in Great Britain, and the British imports amounted to only few hundred thousand tons But it may be said that the high tariff kept 1t out True, the tar if has been higher by s2 a ton than at present, but even now the $i.25 import duty will serve as a considerable barrier.
 A glance backward will throw some light on the possibility of British im- ports. In 1879 the price of pig iron ad- vanced to S43 ton and the railroads were forced to send abroad to have their orders filled. In that year the United States imported BOA, 900 tons of pig iron. In 1880 imports of pig iron amounted to 100000 tons. which was the maximum Since then imports have constantly de- elined. The productive capacity of this country is now largely in excess of what 1t was at that period. If all the idle fur- naces in the United States are put in blast they will supply all the demand unless it becomes extraordinary as in 1873
 Let us take No. 1 foundry as a basis The price abroad is now s12, add duty S4. freight $150, and the price at one of our seaDorts would be SIT. Our home prod uct can be put at the seaboard for S13 Here we have a margin of s4 Not until our iron advances s4 ton will there be any danger from imports.

THE REAs SONS WHY.

The unrestricted coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 parts of silver to 1 of gold should not be adopted by this govern ment because:
 Such course would be opposed to the example of all civilized nations and would subject this government to the contempt of all nations.
 The folly and ignorance involved in a policy of such revolutionary character would ruin the credit of the United States in all the markets of the world.
 Our foreign commerce would be de- stroyed, for we would be unable to buy foreign supplies, and foreigners only buy of US as we buy of them
 Free coinage could not be confined to the home product, but would open our hints to all the world. We should have to coin an amount of silver equal to double our home product. This would increase our payments to other countries depreciated.
 Free coinage would drive to other countries our $500. COG, ,o00 of gold The loss of that gold would contract the VOL ume of currency. Silver would then fall to it's bullion value, which is 50 cents on the dollar and it's purchasing power be- ing cut in two would virtually be a con- striction in the volume of cur silver money. All our paper money would be- come redeeuable in silver and wuslld fall to the same value as the silver dollar. This tremendous contraction would force a fall in wages and in the prices of all DrOt1ucstS

 Jasper, July 4-(Special Correspond ence Jon yesterday afternoon MT. and Mrs. E. W. Coleman gave delightful cat home" in honor of their charming guest. Miss Coleman of Eutaw. Miss Coleman is very attractive young lady, and possesses in addition to her natural grace and fine educational qualifications rare ability and accomplishments in art. Some fine samples of her work were shown her friends at the entertainment on yesterday afternoon.
 Jasper is well filled with fair visitors now, among the most prominent of whom are Misses Mary V. Greene of Montgomery, Mabelle Clarke of Mobile and Dolly Kirk of New Orleans, the guests of MT and Mrs. w S. Foster.
 Our town is well filled with visitors to- day. Just now MT. s. w, John of Bir- mingham is making a free silver speech in the court house.
 What seems to me a very plain and practical illustration or solution of the financial problem was presented at the store of the Cranford Mercantile com pany today. Among their customers are two firms who are saw mill men, Collins & Chandler and J. J. & c. D. Long. Both these firms issue at night to their em- ployes a check for 25 cents, 50 cents, $1. etc.. as to the amount due on the days work All the merchants in town are glad to exchange their goods for these checks, because both firms are good. And at the Cranford Mercantile company's store this morning I saw q man buy 50 cents worth of coffee. pre- sent Collins & Chandler's check for $1 and receive back in change a 50 cent check of J. J. & c. D. Long. Few men are unable to see where "the parity comes in here. So long as both firms maintain their credit. it all works well, but if one issues more checks than he can protect something is going to drop" See?

AS TO spEEr, MAKING.

The Manufacturers Record thinks that the rise in iron will encourage rather than deter steel making in the South. The steel plants will encourage the further output of iron. The South will have the advantage of the North in every respect. The Record says:
 When Bessemer iron sold for $930 in Pittsburg billets sold at $14.50 If the South can make iron for $6.50. as has been and is being done, even though the some what more expensive basic process is used would there not be a margin of Si or $5 in favor of Southern steel. even when compared with pittsburg prices of three months ago? And when compared with prices today the margin would reach $6 or $7. With such q difference it is not surprising that these proposed steel plants are rapidly assum- ing the shape of realization, and that those already built are seriously plan- ming active operation.
 That the South has not as large and cheap supply of Besselner ores as Pitts burg and Chicago is used as a clinching argument against Southern steel making. But why has Belgium. with no Bessemer ores, forged so rapidly to the front as O steel-producing country--so rapidly, in deed, that it has been able to invade the British home market? The answer is Simple--the basic process With suitable selection there will be no difficulty in finding in the South ores suited for this process. The matter of scrap iron, hith- erto regarded as a serious obstacle, may be overcome, and soon would be after the operation of steel works and indus tries which would quickly follow them. Then, what is the future of the South as an iron and steel producer?

It is no new thing for the government to attempt to force people to take de- based currency. One of the very first acts of this government was the attempt to force Continental money on the people, and the refusal to take it was made an act of disloyalty to the government.
 This was despotisin of the worst kind. It was not the act of Q free government, but of despotism. The free silverites of the present day have not profited by this experience, but insist that the gov ernment can force the people to take a 5o- cent silver dollar for 100 cents. The people will rebel against such injustice and refuse to take such money just as they did in colonial times. The free sil- verites should cease their talk about the freedom and indenendence of the nennle.

In 1879 pig iron jumped from $17 a ton to S49, and steel rails from $41 to $S5 This. greateincreese was caused by the demand from the railroads. After the panic of 1873 the railroads kept putting off the purchase of supplies, just as they have been doing since 1893, until they were forced to have them. Then iron and steel began to advance, and for fear it would go higher they sent in their orders with rush. and this caused the boom prices.

In the two fiscal years ending on June 30, 1881, this country imported $167, ,0oO, 900 more gold and silver than we exported. The country was recovering from the panic of 1873, and was starting on an era of great prosperity. We are now recov- ering from the panic of 1893, and the era of prosperity will be greater than that of fifteen years ago.

A new law in Pennsylvania declares that all typewritng heretofore executed or done. and all which may hereafter be done, for any purpose whatever. shall have the same legal force and effect as ordinary writing. and that the word writing" occurring in the laws of the State shall be held to include typewrit- ing. Heretofore it has been required un- der the law that wills and all similarly important legal documents of record should be written by hand with pen and ink. The Legislature seems to have sat isfied itself that typewriting is as reliable and as permanent as handwriting with pen and ink, although the machine writ ing has not been tested by time as has the handwriting. It may be expected that other States will follow the lead of Pennsylvania and legalize the work of the writing machine.

The free coinage advocates point with pride to France as country where bi- metallism is successfully practiced. But France is not bimetallic country any more than the United States. It stopped the free coinage of silver several years ago, and to prevent the exports of gold it has adopted law which goes further toward idolizing gold than this country dares to go. The Bank of France will not pay out gold unless the drawer makes oath that it is not for export. How do the free silverites like that feat ure of the French financial system? It is a feature that they dare not mention in their speeches. This clause in the banking laws of France shows that France is much more uneasy about her gold currency than the United States.

The actual receipts of the national treasury for the fiscal year just closed were $15,50O,000 greater than for the pre- ceding year, and its disbursements, $11,- 1000 less. What is especially signifi- cant is the fact that after all the outcry over the new tariff the customs receipts have been $21, 100000 greater this year than last, while the receipts from in ternal revenue were $3,5Oo.00o less. Thus, where there was reduction of taxation there was increase of revenue, and where there was increase of taxation there was reduction of revenue.
