ALL SOUTHERN FURNACES sfs --.sa.
 3sa szz Will Enter the Fight Against the
 Ohio Valley A BATTLE FOR SUPREMACY An English View of the Iron Situation Pleases the Local Magnates- Birmingham Will
 Lead the World.

It now transpires that it is not only the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany that is putting up such an active competition against the northern iron fur naces, but the Sloss Iron and Steel com pany Is also in the fight.
 As announced in Sundays Age-Herald, the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company had the day before startled the local iron market by announcing a 20 cent per ton reduction on all iron sold in Co., lumbus and Springfield, o.
 It now appears that the Sloss company made this cut in Ohio before the Tennes- see company did and the latter company simply followed the pace which the other company had set.
 But the competition Is not between these two companies. It is between this district and the Ohio valley district, and the local furnaces are sparring no efforts to drive their northern rivals out of the bus mess, if possible. Birmingham iron is shipped to those districts with but very little profit, in many cases with no profit at all. aa'ir
 The local iron men were very much in terested over one of the Sunday press dis patches giving a view of the English iron situation by the Statist, one of the most reliable of English industrial papers.
 The review of the situation as given by this paper, states that the exports and home consumption of iron have exceeded the whole output of the United Kingdom by nearly 10000 900 tons, and predicts pig iron famine before the end of the year. The article concludes by saying:
 There is quite large probability that we may have to fall back upon America at no distant future to make good our de-

WITH lNFORMA[ CEREMONY
Steam Will Be Turned on at the
 AvondaIe Mills
BY MISS BESSIE HENSON
At 10 O'Clock This Morning-wIl Mark a New Era in the Industrial History of
 the City,

At 10 o'clock this morning steam will be turned on at the Avondale cotton mills and the wheels of the ponderous engine will start the machinery in motion.
 The duties of engineer on this memorable occasion will be conferred upon Miss Bessie Jemison, the youngest daughter of Robert Jemison, president and general manager of the Birmingham Railway and Electric com pany, who was chairman of the special committee of the Commercial club that suc- ceeded in locating this magnificent plant in Birmingham.
 The occasion will be marked by an in- formal ceremony, to which the public is cordially invited. These ceremonies will be participated in by the officers of the com pany, of the Commercial club, the mayor and aldermen and prominent citizens An invitation has also been extended to Gov. Johnston to be present.
 The Avondale mill which is located on the East Lake electric line, about two miles east of theN city, will give employment to about GOO operatives, and its opening will mark a new era in the industrial history of the city,.
 The mill contains GOO looms and s 0o0 spindles, and will consume annually about 12000 bales of the feecy staple.
 While there is yet some little work to be done, 1t will only be short time until the merry music of the loom will mingle its voice with the sonorous notes of the fur naces and factories, blending into an har- monious melody of industrial song.

then commanded the subjects to get down on their knees and shoot craps. From tho motions they made it was evident that all were adopts at the art of mingling tine t.boneB"
 The game wound up in a free fight and all the participants drew imaginary pistols and punctured the atmosphere with bullets and cuss words. The subjects were thien put through various exercises. They played football, base ball and golf. They sang religious, sentimental and comic songs. They want hunting ard fishing killed tigers and caught alhgators. When- ever the ''profesor' would turn his back they would converse among themselves and wink at the spectators.
 Finally when all grew tired of the fun Prof. Schlessenger decided to wake them up. Two were very easily awakened, but the other two remained in trance and would not be aroused. The amateur "hyp- notist" became alarmed and tried in vain to awaken them. He would first work on one for awhile and then on the other. All efforts were futile
 ''Tell him to get some whisky" said one of the subjects to near by spectator.
 The "professor'' didn't tumble and kept up his attempt to arouse the two boys.
 Sometimes people die in that condition," said one of the on-lookers.
 The "professor's" face blanched at the suggestion of such a thing and he made break for the telephone to summon doc tor. The doctor told him to get some whisky. When the professor announced this the two subjects opened their eyes, winked at each other and went through the motion of drinking.
 Schlessenger hurried for the intoxieant and as he went out of the door the two subjects leaped from their seats, shook each others hand and inquired how much liquor would be procured. When the "pro- lessor" returned they were back in their a1o ofrc 1ta6 -ftl tn f,o,, drank the whisky and as soon as they re- alized the bottle was empty they opened their eyes and asked where they were at. The party then broke up and all went home.
 :. The most peculiar feature of the enter tainment was that Professor" Schlessen- ger was the only orna who believed that the subjects were really hypnotized

A COMING JUDGE.
ASiIver Democrat Upon Whom All Agree As a
 Good Man. n .s.s.,--

As the time of the primary for county officers draws near the friends of MT Charles A. Senn, who is a candidate for the associate judgship of the city court are unanimous in expressing ths opinion that Mr. Senn. or Judge Senn, as he is now known, will get more votes than all of his opponents put together.
 Ut is not strange that MT. Senn should be tone of the strongest men before the people for any off . for he has record Of which any man may be proud. Coming to Birmingham nearly fourteen years ago as the first honor graduate of the Georgc- town University law school; of Washing ton, D. C., one of the leading Law schools in America, he immediately took stand as one of the leading lawyers at the bar
 He very soon was selected as register in chancery, a most important office, and for several years has filled that office with great credit to himself. The office In this county is largely judicial one and in the performance of the duties Mr. Senn has been admirably fitted for a position upon the bench.
 In the fight for democratic supremacy last year Mr. Senn was the chairman of the democratic campaign committed, and to his splendid executive ability sand de- votion to the silver cause was due much of the success of that battle. MT. Senn is an original supporter of the silver cause, and has helped to bring the issue of the

She Woke Up

From the Dadeville Spot Cash.
 On last Tuesday morning about o'clock the residents of the southern part of town were suddenly awakened from their peace- ful slumbers by a terrific explosion some where in the neighborhood of negro town" The cause of this disturbance was one Booker Chambliss, a well-known negro who, having imbibed quite freely an over dose of Honest John," slowly proceeded to make his way homeward, where a warmer reception than he had bargained for awaited him. Upon his arrival at the homestead the wife of Chambliss imme- diately commenced to belabor him lustly with the most procurable weapon, then fearing the oncoming wrath she fled to the home of Judge Ross that she might spend the night in safety. Of course this new proceeding grated harshly on the sensitive nature of erstwhile amiable Booker and he began to seek means of revenge. He hung around the aforesaid Judges domain for some time trying to persuade his spouse to return but finding his efforts of no avail, he kindly informed her if she didn't get up he would blow her up. This failing to arouse the dusky damsel, he procured two sticks of dynamite and proceeded to give her lift. The dynamite exploded with terrific noise that caused everybody in the neighborhood to think the war had started and the Spaniards were entering Tallapoosa. Fortunately, however, no harm was done. Such offenses as this should not be looked over and a man who engages in such dangerous folly ought to be severely dealt with.

HYPNOTIC PADS
 IN BIRMINGHAM

The Americans race of imitators Whenever a man performs a great feat all the youths of the country feel cal.ed upon to go and do likewise.
 When Blandin walked a tight rope stretched across Niagara Falls, every boy in the country had a wire walking exhi- bition in his back yard The great French man was responsible for more broken limbs and bruised bodies than amy other man who ever set foot on American soil. When Steve Brodie jumped from the Brooklyn bridge and became famous, the American youth straightway began jumping into rivers, creeks and ponds from the highest point to which they could climb. Steve may be called upon to answer for many a drowned boy
 When Fonda, the famous fakir, made Birmingham his headquarters for a time, nearly every other young blade one would meet was an amateur hypnotist. The fad gradually died out, but the Lees came and the craze took on new life and now there are so many "hypnotists' that they outnunlber the subjects
 A ''seance'' took place Sunday night at Fies' livery stable Henry Schlessenger as- sumed the role of the ''professor" and placed four subjects under the influence of his magic power. Apparently they were sound asleep. Professor Schlessenger

A Sad Case

From the Columbia Breeze.
 The majority of newspaper men, proprie- tors of coutry papers at least will hail with delight a law compelling the coming generation to learn to read. There Is noth- ing more dishearteing and disgusting, when you ask a man to take your paper, than to have him tell you he cannot read The worst example of the kind we ever came in contact with was man who chuld not read. We suggested his wife; he informed us that she could not read. We then tackled him on his children and tried to show him the benefit they would derive from it. His reply was that he had always made liv- ing without an education, and that his children were no better than he was. He was so ignorant that he was unable to real ize the use and value of even the most linn ited amount of book learning." The harm this man is doing his children Che still lives right here in Henry county) cannot be estimated It is needless to say he is poor and always will be, and he has no desire to see his children better off in any respect than he is. This Is not only wrong but it goes to the extent of being criminal

PICTURES FROM LIFE.
Same Experience and With Equally
 Happy Results. .ts'9 sA

She had once been a beautiful and at- tractive woman. Her friends adored her; even strangers admired She was still young-but why had her friends de- serted her? It is the usual story She had lost her health; her complexion had faded; as a result her disposition was soured. How could she attract or hold friends? Impossible.
 A year later.
 She is the same woman but how changedl Hosts of friends surround her; her eyes are sparkling, her cheeks glow; her com plexion is superb-she Is happy
 Do you wonder what made the change? Read, then, the experience of Mrs. Bella Hoffa, of McEwensville, Pa-:
 "Some six years ago. she said, T was troubled severely with disease of the kid neys and I will never be able to tell how much I suffered. I tried all kinds of rem- edies, but could find no permanent relief. Finally I allowed myself to be persuaded by Mrs. Simon Cameron to try Warmers Safe Cure with the assurance that it would relieve me. She had suffered in the same way for many years and had found great help by its use. I am happy to say that Safe Cure benefited me from the time began using 1t. I was entirely free from all pains, and have been in perfect health ever since. I cannot say too much for Warmers Safe Cure, as I believe it gave me the perfect health I now enjoy"

 If England is forced to call on the United States for iron it will be of especial bene- fit to the Birmingham district, they said. Even when England has plenty of iron Birmingham can send its iron even to the Birmingham of old England and there un- derbid the English manufacturers. In their opinion England is fast losing the su- and iron world and the United States is with equal rapidity taking the lead. And of the iron markets of this country, Bir- mingham is certainly the cheapest and will soon be recognized as the leading iron market of the world
