ALABAMA TO MAKE STEEL.
Birmin CHAM MIL to he Converted
Into Model Plant.

BIRMINGHAM Mill to lie Converted
Into Model Plant.
The Birmingham (Ala.) Rolling Mill
company, the most successful indus
trial plant in the Birmingham district,
has determined to convert the plant
there, employing 1900, into steel
plant. To that end $4,000 of the pre-
ferred six per cent. stock was issued and
Immediately taken.
Converters will be put in Immediate
ly, the plant being already complete
steel mill in every other respect. In.
this enterprise Alabama makes it's start
in the manufacture Of steel on purely
business basis. The mill with remodel
ing will be a modern steel plant, costing
100000. The output of the converters
will he used by the mill itself.
Alabama thus formally enters on steel
manufacturing, her previous efforts re-
sulting in a manufacture of good basic
steel, but Eugatory by reason of large
fixed expenses with too small an output
to be commercially successful.

At five o'clock Gordon ana Tom. WIN

At five o'clock Gordon and Tom, with
two officers. boarded the Sunshine. but
it was yet good half hour before she
cast off lines; she delayed as long as
could be done with safety in order to
give those who desired to attend the
weddings an opportunity to do SO.
However, at $3.50 the little steamer got
under way, and it was expected that
she would easily reach Orion in two
hours, but by a bad stroke of misfor-
tune, she broke the shaft of her pro-
peller when off Town Creek, and yet
good nine miles from Orion.
"The jig is up" said the captain.
'here we lay all night, unless we send
boat back for tug to tow us back to
town, we're here for three or four
hours certainly. I am sorry, but you'll
all miss the double marriage, unless I
put you ashore, and you walk, and I
haven't time to do that, as must dis
patch boat for help"
Captain" exclaimed Tom, quickly,
"will you kindly put this party on
shore? 1 must be at my brothers we'd
ding"
why, yes, ION, II you can struggle
through those swamps; it's past six
now, you have an hour and half to
cover nine miles of swamp and sandy
ridges; it is impossible"
II think not, captain, if you will do so
quick. Horrell lives but three miles
from here. I'll get rig from him to
carry us from there on"
"True, you may get there in that way,
but you'll be worth looking at before
you get out of the swamp.
"Mate, send these four gentlemen
ashore, then take four good oarsmen
and pull back to town for tug"
The lieutenant, Gordon and the off,
GERS were soon struggling through the
swamp in the direction of Horrell's,
and there we will leave them and return
to Orion.

ONE CRIME NOT LAID AT THE
DOOR OF THE SALOON.

| OF all the crimes that darken the
history of mankind rape IS considered
the most henious. The severest penal
ties of the law are not considered suf-
| ficient in many instances to mete out
ample retribution to the criminal. The
| hanging and burning of negro rapists
has heretofore been considered an ex-
clusively southern pastime, but recent
| ly up in prohibition, Christian Ohio,
| the town of Urbana, the white men
rose and mobbed a negro rapist be-
cause they did not think the penalty
of twenty years in the penitentiary, TO
which he had been condemned by the
courts, a sufficient punishment. In
mobbing the negro two white men were
killed and several wounded by the
state militia, but all the same, like
Texas men, they did not stop until
they executed the brute. The New
York Voice, the leading religious,
temperance organ, prints a column of
editorial mildly deprecating the occur
renee, but for the first time has failed
to attribute either the crime of rape or
the mob, or the killing by the militia,
to the saloon.
1t is Idct, one IIldl CdIihOt NC NC
MED, that the fiends, who commit this
most horrible crime, which is general
ly accompanied by mnTder, as in the
case of the Mexican, Martinez, who has
just been condemned in Wilson county
in this state, to be hung, are cold
blooded fends who do their crime in
the most sober condition. 1t is the
unwritten, but the changeable law in
this state that the negro rapist must
die-die hard, die terribly-as warn
ing to his race. The Voice and Mrs.
Edholm, and all of the cranky religious
hypocrits. must revise their crime cal
endar and put the crime Of rape, cold
blooded murder, arson, burglary, as
we'll as high treason and assassination,
down to the cold water section of hu-
manity-the bad man who drinks, los
es his ability and inclination to do ter
rible bad things. The drunkard is. his
own worst enemy.-Texas Liquor Deal

THE THREE AGES OF MAN.

He swore that for true love he'd marry
In a cottage he'd much rather tarry
With his love by his side,
Than take for a bride,
A girl who had millions to spare.
He was twenty.
Years passed; he was thirty and single.
In society's gay world he did mingle;
He had loved half a score,
He was loving once more
A lass? No, her coins golden jingle.
He was thirty.
A bachelor still, the old sinner!
Met maiden and tried hard to win
her.
Not because she was fair,
Or had money to spare.
But-because she could order a dinner!
He was forty!
