GOAL |S MINED IN THE YARD
Of the Indian Head Cotton Mills
 at Cordova.
ONLY MILLS IN THE WORLD
Where Fuel Is Procured at the Furnace Door Col. I. L. Long Talks Enthusiastically of
 the Prospects of the New Factory.

Col. r. L. Long, one of the promoters of the new Indian Head cotton mills at Cor dova, is enthusiastic over the prospects of the mill He was in the city yesterday and to an Age-Herald reporter said:
 "I noticed the article which your paper printed on Tuesday morning concerning the opening of the big mills on Monday. There are few facts which you failed to mention. which I think are very interest ing.
 'In the first place, we have the only cotton factory in the world, or any other factory for that matter, which digs coal out of it's back yard, so to speak, and shovels it in the furnaces for 50 cents a ton, or a trife less Indeed, we had to dig away a four-foot seam of coal in the Excavations for the foundation of the mill The coal used by the New England mills costs $4 a ton, and for thirty tons used per day, we save s105 on coal alone.
 Another fact is that the railroads will carry our manufactured goods to Boston cheaper per pound than they will the raw COtlOH dHu dlSO very muCn cheaper than they will bring New England goods to the south.
 "The greatest advantage, after all, that we possess over the northern mills is the fact that we have cheap labor. The aver age operative in the New England mills gets $1 per day, while we pay only 60 cents on an average. And yet our operatives live much better than they do in the north. The mildness of the climate and the cheap ness of the necessities of life enable them to do this. Another good thing is that they are all white operatives. Ninety-fve per cent of the population of Winston county and of number of surrounding counties is white. Probably three-fourths of our 800 operatives will be the natives of that county whom we shall train in the business. Alabama has 5-cent cotton, while New England has 6A-cent cotton, another saving of 25 per cent.
 And, lastly, and perhaps as important as any other advantage to be mentioned, the state of Alabama has exempted all cotton mills in the state from taxation For period of ten years. As compared with the heavy taxes of New England, hlis is a splendid advantage I see that several other states are endeavoring to pass like measures Gov. Johnston de- serves much credit for getting this law passed in the last legislature
 Under these conditions it Is no wonder that the New England mills are com pelled to cut down wages We will drive them out of the business in few years. We cannot manufacture the best goods yet, but all that will come with time
 "As you have already stated, dirt will soon be broken for a duplicate factory, and we will continue the manufacture of cheap sheetings with the addition of cot ton blankets.
 Our most important need is the open ing of the Warrior river, which flows directly by the factory. With an open waterway to the there is no section of the globe that can ever hope to com pete with the Alabama cotton mills.'

NOTORIOUS WILL HUNTER He Met His Death Tuesday at
 Savannah, Ga. ESCAPED FROM PRATT MINES Desperate Negro Criminal Under Sentences Aggregating Fifty five Years Was
 the Cause of Child's Death.

Will Hunter, the notorious negro des- in Birmingham one Sunday evening last March, and who was the cause of the death of little Myrtis Roland, she being shot by Perdue in attempting to arrest w. O'Connor in Savannah, Ga., Tuesday morning.
 The description of the negro killed at Savannah and that of the Will Hunter who twice escaped from Pratt mines, are identical He was identified at Savannah by Henry Ralph, another negro who knew Hunter well, and who is familiar with his criminal history
 The following letter has been received by Sheriff OBrien from Deputy O'Connor, in which the description given exactly cor responds with that on file in the sheriff s office:
 "An escaped convict, Will Hunter, who shot Policeman Perdue, in your city, has been killed in Savannah while resisting arrest for a crime committed in your county.
 "The description of the negro is as fol- lows: Black; weight about 190 pounds; prominent cheek bones; very tough look ing face; has pistol shot wounds in the neck, above right nipple, and another wound in the back; height, feet inches; thick lips and big feet.
 "Have taken a photograph which l will send you as soon developed"
 No doubt exists in the minds of the at taches of the sheriff's office that the much wanted Will Hunter has at last cashed in his chips.
 Hunter was accused of burglarizing the residence of Paul Giacopazzi in March, 1897, and Policeman Will Perdue attempt ed to effect his arrest. The negro resisted and shot Perdue in the chin.
 The negro then ran up an alley, being pursued by the policeman, who fired as he ran. Hunter for time was not to be found, but at last was discovered in a well. One of Perdue's shots took effect, strik ing the negro in the back, the ball going through him.
 He was tried for burglary and grand larceny and assault with intent to kill, and was sentenced to forty years in the mines. Shortly afterwards he escaped from his confinement, and was rearrested at Warrior by Marshal Blackf m after struggle, in which Hunter was wounded.
 He was taken to the mines again, but soon recovered from his wounds and es- capped for the second time. Nothing was seen or heard of him until he was killed at Savannah Tuesday.
 Hunter had previously escaped from the Tennessee penitentiary, where he was serving a fifteen-year sentence for burgla- ry and assault with intent to murder.
