FLORENCE.
Will Increase Its Force-Will Probably Be
 Sold and Completed.


 Sold and Completed.
 Florence, Jan. 4.-(Special)-Th Flor cnce Pump and Lumber company will in- crease it's force of hands on February to 100 men. The company is doing a larger business this year than ever be- fore
 The Cherry Cotton mill is also doing a larger business this year than ever be- fore, and is running night and day in or- der to keep up with its increasing busi- ness.
 The blaming mills and lumber dealers of this city say that there has been great CT demand for building material during the past four months than during the previous four years, and a still greater demand is expected in the spring.
 The population of the city is increas- ing rapidly, and the year 1896 is conti- dently expected to be the most prosper ous in the history of the town.
 There is strong probability now that the Florence Northern railroad will be sold and completed. The road is now owned by Medley, Smith & Co.,, the build CTS, and a report which originated in Chattanooga, is to the effect that the Southern railway, after getting control of the Memphis and Charleston, which 1t is now in a fair way to secure, will buy the Florence Northern for a feeder. The Florence Northern is projected to run from this city to Linden, Tenn.. where 1t would connect with the Tennessee Mid land The road has been graded about twenty-seven miles, and would probably have been completed but for the season of depression that fell upon this section a few years ago. It runs through a sec ton of country rich in minerals and tim ber and would be a valuable feeder for the Memphis and Charleston
 R. F. White x Co.,, general merchants, made an assignment today, naming R. L. Bliss assignee The firm succeeded the Bliss and Lasseter company, which was one of the oldest and largest business firms in this section. B. F. White & Co., s liabilities are about $3500, assets about $40O0. R. l.. Bliss and Dr. William White of Nashville are the largest creditors. Cause of the failure was inability to meet maturing papers.

open contract creditors of the Piedmont Land and Improvement company, in which the register in chancery on Mon day appointed a receiver for the Pied mont company, the company and the trustees for the bondholders have ap- pealed from the decision of the register and superseded the order appointing the receiver. The case will be taken up to the chancellor and it's merits decided there. In the meantime the Piedmont company continues in possession of It's properties. The real issue involved in the case is the validity of deed of trust for $50, 900 executed to secure the bondhold- CTS.
 Annie Hill. a white woman, who has been in jail for about two weeks, charged with stealing $1S4 and three pistols from one Boswell was carried before Judge Lapsley of the city court on habeas cor pus proceedings this morning and re- leased, the court holding that the evil dence against her wasn't sufficient.
 The store of Capt. R. M. Fleet, about two and a half miles northeast of the city, was broken into last night and robbed of lot of four canned goods, tor bacco, cheroots, cigars, etc. There is no clue to the burglars. An attempt was made to rob the same store about two weeks ago, but it failed.
 Hon. John B. Knox is on a business trip to Pensacola and will be absent un- til Monday.

DECATUR.
Free Silver Democrats Lead in Morgan-A Grand Coming Together of Old Friends

Free Silver Democrats Lead in Morgan-A
 Grand Coming Together of Old Friends.
 Decatur, Jan. 24.-(Special.)-It is gen. orally conceded here that the free sil- yer wing of the democracy is strongly in the ascendancy in this county. Fossil bly, nothing so completely fixes the fact as the action of the county executive committee, which, on the 4th of January, promulgated the basis upon which the county primaries are to select the vari- ous candidates for county offices on the 7th of March next. The policy adopted, while brief in the statement of the princi- ples announced, Is broad and liberal in the privileges 1t confers. So much. so, in deed, that 1t is generally thought that it would be difficult to formulate a plan better calculated to unite the contending democratic factions of the county than the one adopted by the county execu- tive committee.
 Under this plan every democrat of the county will feel on March 2, when he en- ters the beat polling place, that he is un- trammeled and free to cast his vote with out that unfriendly criticism which all ways attends the conduct of a divided house. But the plan promulgated by the county executive committee has far deeper significance than the nomination of a few county officers on the 10th of March next by the county convention to
 meet dt f1dTlSelle OH that udte.
 While it is now plain that in the county of Morgan, under the primary policy adopted, there will be a good od-time democratic family reunion on the 7th of March next, when all the democratic hosts of the county will stand shoulder to shoulder, facing the common political enemy, there will be on the 10th of March, in the action of the county convention, an old-time home-bringing of the charm ing new bride-Morgan county's consoli- dated democracy.
 That there is joy manifested in antici- patton of this, one of the most important occasions to transpire in this county's political history, and that everything that can be done is being done by the county executive committee to make the county convention the most harmonious in the history of the county goes without saying; but in the deeper significance the spirit of prophecy seems to rise and point the stern index of destiny to the results of the next state convention and indicates Capt Joseph F. Johnston as that citizen favored, who shall next wear the executive robes. Is expressed with great democratic unanimity.

MOBILE.
Nearly Enough Money Subscribed for
 Baseball Club.


 Baseball Club.
 Mobile, Jan. 24.--(Special. .)-The Mobile Baseball association met tonight and or ganized for the season of 1896. George Stallings of Nashville and Henry Powers of New Orleans have been working in conjunction with a local committee se- curing subscriptions, and tonight s2250 was reported on hand. The remaining $750 will be subscribed tomorrow. En- thusiasm is rampant and the prospects for the game here were never brighter. Manager Stallings will leave tomorrow afternoon for Memphis to attend the Southern league meeting on Sunday. He will be accompanied by E. V. OConnor of the Daily News, who will represent Mobile. ..4
 News received here today by Judge Austill president of the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City railway, indicates that work upon it's building will be com menced at an early day. MT. r. B. Mer- Till, its manager, reached New York from London yesterday, and telegraphed that the money is all right now. This is the same road for which the Mobile peo- pie raised S250,000 when Colonel Manns Anglo-American Construction company agreed to build it, but did not, five years ago. It taps a new and extensive terri tory of incalculable value to Mobile.

"In Old Mairido o

It is a conceded fact that "In Old Mad rid" to be presented in Birmingham on January 2S and 29, with special Wednes- day matinee, is one of the brightest and wittiest comedies on the road this sea son, having been a pronounced success from the opening night. This was one of the first companies to leave New York city, opening early in August, and al- though 1t is new attraction, has met with favor everywhere, and is said to be a big money winner. The scene is laid in seventeenth century Spain, the Spain of Gil Bias, out of whose vivacious me- moirs the story might well have been taken had Le Sage thought to put 1t there. An outline of the plot is rather lengthy for publication, but it is both ingenious and original, and the author, Edward Owings Towne, has framed the story in witty and brilliant language. The company engaged in the production are said to be artists of unquestioned ability, and the play is given splendid setting. All the scenery, properties, draperies, stage settings, etc, are car ried by the management.
