STEEL IN THE SOUTH.

Among the many activities of the
South, none are attracting more at
tention at present than the develop
ment Of the steel manufacturing inter-
ests. Because of that, news in this
weeks Manufactures Record is Of
much significance. 1t has an inter
view with Hon. Theodore Roosevelt,
Assistant Secretary of the Navy, in
which he says, regarding The selection
Of a site for the government armor
plant: Il am in favor Of locating the
plant in the South if any point poses
ses superior advantages to those in
Other States, and SO far as am per
sonaliy concerned will ask that the
committee make thorough investiga-
ton of all the sites offered in the
Southern States President Samuel
Spencer, of the Southern Railway, in
answer to question on the same ques-
ton says: 1.-The Southern Railway is
doing all it can to encourage the de
velOpment of Southern steel industries,
and will continue to do SO as we be-
lieve that the South has future in
that as well as many other lines. There
Is substantial ground for believing that
the day is not far distant when South
ern steel will be an important factor
in the markets of the world.'
In connection with these words
should be read the special dispatch
from Birmingham, Ala, to the Manu-
fattn1crs' Record confirming the re-
port about the negotiations ofthe great
European firm of Mannesman Bros.
tor a plant in Alabama. 1t says: "For
some time negotiations hlvet been
going on between the Gate City Land
Company and the European firm
Mannesman Bros, the makers of
of seamless tubing. The property and
location have been examined by their
expert and agent, DR.. 1hene, president
of the Chicago Polytechnic Society,
and his report tavors the purchase OF
the property CON which he has an OPP
tom at $500, 900, and the erection
there OF plant to supply the Amer
lean trade. This plan, would involve
the expenditure Of SI,5oo,ooo, and
give employment, it is SAID, to at least
5000. The only thing necessary now
to make it "a go is the approval ofthe
European firm, and the papers are now
on the way to him. The expert in a
letter to an interested party here, says:
Birmingham is the most favorably-lo-
Gated point in the United States for
the manufacture of steel mill. Nego-
tiatlons are also now pending for
the expenditure of S5Oo, 900 for a gal
vanIzed wire works.--Uanntattre,s

TUF, NEGRO IN OFFICE.

the fact that the recently appointed
negro postmaster at HogansvIlte, Ga,
was assaulted and shot few nights
ago is being attributed to the indigna
| ton OF the people at such an appoint
ment Whether or not this is true we
know not. If true, OF course, those
people nave made a great mistake in
the method adopted for resenting the
insult. As unpleasant as was the STU
| alton, as rescnttul "a were the white
| peOole Of the lndignIty placed upon
| them, attempted assassination was not
the remedy. The incident, however,
| serves to emphasize the fact that free
! dom from such an insult as was offered
the people of tOgansvil!e and the
maintenance of white supremacy in
both National and State affairs can
only be secured by placing government
control IN the hands Of the Dem )crat-
| &c party.
Referring 10 the incident, the Wash
| lngtOn Pest very properly condolences
the attempted assassination and says,
at the same time, it can readily under
stand the spirit OF resentment which
| eliminated in the assault. 1t speaks
| of the aid extended the negro Of the
| South in his advancement, he being
''allowed full scope to succeed in the
| profession of law or of medicine or in
remuneratIve trades alt is only w.
says the Pest, "when he is placed in
the p psitlon of authority over the
white man, 1t is when he comes in
close personal contact with citizens,
male and female of all classes, in the
daily distribution of mail, for instance,
that the pride of race asserts itself and
the deplorable events occur which we
have occasion now to condemn.
The Pest says, further, "whether
the President would act wisely in con-
tinulnS 10 appoint negroes to office
IN the South Is serious question,
and concludes It's article as follows
below:
"And If negroes are to be appoint
ed in the South, let them also be ap
pointed in the North, where they
ought to be welcomed as office hold
erS with open arms. Let Us see if the
North or the East or the West will &C
cept the new dlspensation without
questlon-aye, with even cordial APP
proval. We have our doubts, but Ger
tainly there ought to be no sectional
ism in this matter. The negro should
be a Federal office holder in the North
or East or West, and not alone in the
South, where, of all places, his APP
pOntment is most at variance with
local feeling. Winston Sentinel
