RALLY WAY NEWS AND GOSSIP Considerable Local Increase of
 Passenger Traffic. MUCH AHEAD OF LAST YEAR Is Also the Freight Business of the Express
 Companies, According to December F ss Footings.

The railroads entering Birmingham than for any year since 1892 by several thousand dollars. The number of tickets sold at the union depot largely exceeded those of the two previous years, but the exact number and value have not yet been footed up, so that a comparative statement could not be made.
 The figures for December, however, are complete and they show for the month of December, 1895, an increase of $12 742. S4 over the month of December, 1894.
 Some of the increase, of course, may be due to the large travel to Atlanta on ac- count of the exposition. Every line en- tering the city shows decided increase, one of them alone that does not run to- wards Atlanta, nor make any connection for that city, showing an increase of over 5000. So passenger traffic has improved independently of the exposition attrac- tion.
 As another evidence that the Atlanta inducement to travel was not the sole cause of the increase, the sales of tickets at the local union passenger station since the 1st of January have been largely in excess of the sales for the same period of 1885,
 Express Business Increase.
 The volume of business done by the local office of the Southern Express com pany for the month of December, 1895 was approximately 10 per cent greater than for the month of December, 1894 The same ratio of increase of business for the year 1895 over 1894 is shown by the companys books.
 A great deal of the increase is due to the enlarged merchandise shipments from Birmingham to adjacent territory.
 During the month of December, 1894, over 5000 boxes of oranges were forward ed from the local office, while for the same month of 1894 probably not more than 100 were shipped.
 Speaking of this to State Herald re- porter yesterday, MT. c. E. Haley, agent of the Southern Express company here, said usually the first weeks in January were noticeable for the stagnation in business, during which peSiQd the ex- press company did but very little busi- ness. This year, he said, the express company's business had held up remark ably well. and would largely exceed the amount of business done during the same period in 1895.
 validation of 600, ,ooo Tickets.
 MT Jack w. Johnson returned from Atlanta yesterday morning, and will now remain here, having closed up his bust ness in that city. MT. Johnson was vali- dation agent during the exposition of all the roads entering Atlanta, and in the 100 days he had charge of the office there 600 900 tickets were presented to him Tor his signature. This entailed an enor' nous amount of work on him and his force, but they did it most satisfactorily.

 New Orleans, Jan. 9.-The surprises that were developed in today's races were enough to last the talent for the balance of the season.

Dem ocrats Watching the Pops Result of
 the City Election.
 Ozark, Jan. S-(Special)-Th farmers are hauling out great quantities of gu- ano, much more than ever before in the history of the town.
 Dale county Is populist by more than 800 majority, and as consequence the democrats are saying but little about county offices. They are keeping quiet to watch the fun in the populist ranks, which will soon be on in dead earnest. Nearly every populist of any prominence in the county is, or will be, candidate for some one of the county offices. That there will be serious division among them there is no doubt, and it may be that Dale will get back into the demo- cratic column ere long.
 There seems to be a general moving from this county to Texas and from Tex as back to this county. MT. D. Y. Dow ling, with his family, who left Ozark about a year since for Texas, has re- turned to Ozark, where he is now en- gagged in the mercantile business. Yes terday afternoon Messrs. Anderson Dow ling, l.. c. Bowling and c. M. Bailey left this county for Woodville, Tyler county, Tex, where they will engage In farming.

BY THAT SLIDING SCALE Miners Wages Today Drop 5
 Gents a Ton, ACCORDING TO AGREE WENT Made Last Summer, When an Increase Was Allowed With the Rise in the Price
 of Iron.

A reduction of cents ton for mining coal goes into effect at the mines owned and controlled by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company today.
 For several months past. since the rapid advance in iron, the miners have received 45 cents ton for digging coal, but recently iron took drop and Is now selling at $9 per ton.
 The rates paid for mining ccal are based on the price of iron, according to the contract entered into during the sum- mer of 1894 by the coal operators and miners. It was based on a rate of sS50 per ton for iron, and with each advance of 50 cents a ton the price of mining was to be increased 21a cents. At that time BYE cents per ton was paid, but during last summer and autumn iron went up several dollars until it sold for $1025, which entitled the men to 45 cents.
 Recently Stagnation has prevailed in the iron market and the price has accord ingly gone down, the ruling price now be- ing $9. The contract provides for slid ing scale, which forces the price for min ing coal to 40 cents, or 5 cents less than has been paid the past several months.
 Superintendent Mccormack of the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company was asked about the reduction yesterday by State Herald reporter. and he stated tHe fedSOHS gwen dDOV6 us the cause. lie said there was nothing doing in the iron market and that the production was largely in excess of the demand
 A prominent labor leader, speaking to State Herald reporter, said the miners would have to accept the reduction, as they were bound by their contract to- do so.
 The present. contract will expire June 30 next

debate did you tell him and the people
why you were opposed to his return to
congress?"
IT most assuredly did. I took him to
task for being all the time away from the
house and mis- duties, and charged him
with pairing with a republican on the
bond bill, and he replied that 1t was
stated at the time that were he present
he would vote against the bill, and that
the record would show it. 1 promptly
drew the record on him and promised
him that If he would point out that state
ment in it that would canvass the dis

Howard, of course, failed to point 1t out.
This was a heavy blow to him, and since
that day his chances of election have
been growing beautifully smaller.
