SOUTHERN INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE
Permanent Organization Was Perfected
Yesterday in Atlanta

Atlanta, Ga, July 26.-Permanent organ
ization of the Southern Industrial League
was perfected today by the convention of
southern merchants, now in session here.
The committee appointed ]. X. Orr. of At
lanta, for chairman on organization COM
mittees. The committee also recommended
that each state be represented by vice
president, to be chosen by the delegates
from the respective states. The object of
the league will be to encourage payment
and collection of all debts; wipe from the
statute books laws intended to hinder the
collection of debts; protection of all forms
of invested capital; to prevent the dis
counting of debts; and to further the COM
pletion of the Nicaraguan canal. D. II.

WAGES WILL GO TO
FIFTY-FIVE CENTS
Maximum Rate for Coal Mining
viii be Reached.
AND THAT BY AUGUST
Shipments of Pig Iron Out of District
Greatly Exceeds the Amount Be-
. q -
ing Manufactured : Export
Business Keeps Up.

A prominent official Of one of the big fur
mace companies of the district announced
yesterday that it was now settled that the
coal miners OF the district would get an
other raise Of 21k cents on August 1, increas-
ing their wages to the maximum rate of
So cents per ton for run of mine coal.
These wages will be 5 cents greater per
ton than has ever been paid in this district
in the history of coal mining. The mining
scale for the year beginning July l. as set
tied in the miners convention last month,
provided for a minimum rate of As cents
for mining coal with iron selling at S. and
under; 471a cents with iron at $780, 80 cents
with iron at 50; 522 cents with iron at $40,
and maximum of So cents with iron at S11
and over.
From this it will be seen that iron is sell
ling on an average this month at ST. and
over. Most of the long continuing contracts
made last year at very low rates are now
expired, and the average price of iron is
increasing very rapidly.

MERIDIAN COTTON MILLS
Work Begun on Addition Decided Upor
Recently

Meridian, Miss, July 26-(Special)-
. Ground has been broken and work begun
on the large addition to the Meridian cot
ton mills, which was decided upon at re-
cent meeting of the stockholders of that
concern The new building will be in close
proximity to the main building of the mills,
and will be two stories in height
The work will be pushed rapidly to COM
pletion. and the building will be ready for
the installation of the machinery by the
beginning of the winter. Manager Coin, of
the cotton mills has just returned from a
trip to the markets of the north, where he
purchased the necessary machinery for the
addition, and the same will be shipped as
soon as there has been made ready a place
for 1t.
The cost of the addition to this enterprise
will be in the neighborhood of $4,000, and
when it is completed the capacity of the
mill will have been doubled The success
of this enterprise demonstrates the desira-
bility of Meridian as a manufacturing
point, as it has prospered from it's founda-
ton four years ago, and always paid the
stockholders handsomely All of the stock
is held by local people, who have subscribed
promptly to the amount of the increase in
the capital stock to cover the cost of the
addition, though the stock was offered at
$110 per share cash payment

WANDERERS RETURNING.
Negroes Who Went to Liberia Are Now
in New York.

New York, July 26-Eight negroes, three
women and five children, arrived from
Sierra Leone on Monday, and after wan
dering about the streets all day were taken
in charge by a. colored missionary, Hattie
Ross, who found them shelter andstnan-
aged to get food for them. They are>Lucy
Greyson and a Boone woman and a Sifnol-
ton woman, Who, with their husbands and
children, formed part of large colony
of southern negroes who sailed from Sa-
vannah, Ga, in March, 1896, for Liberia.
Gathered together by the International
Emigration company, of Birmingham.
Ala, they had been told that Liberia was
the promised land for the colored race"
Hundreds left their homes and joined the
colony, sailing on the Labrador.
Arriving at Monrovia, the colonists re-
ceived the allotments of land that had
been promised them, but learned that 1t
would be several years before they could
gather the first crop of coffee, which was
the only thing that could be raised. The
agent in charge of the supplies. which was
to be furnished them for one year, sold
them In the interior and left with the
proceeds.
Some OF the colonists made their way
inland and attempted to compete with the
natives at starvation wages in the fields
and as carriers. Scores succumbed to the
fevers. among them the husbands OF the
Boone and Simoaton women. Some escaped
to F'reetown, Sierra Leone, where they
were cared for by DIR. Williams, the Ameri-
con consul. 1t was by his assistance and
that OF two steamship companies that his
party was enabled to reach this city.

strike is continued, but the lawlessness at
tending it heretofore is much lessened by

corting the messengers so that attack is
impossible, and no crowds are allowed to
collect.

that way keeps it's service from becoming
closged.

ternoon newspapers have not yielded to
their demands, and street sales will be
again prevented today, unless police pro-
lection is invoked.

cided to hire new boys.

Heavy Iron Shipments

The shipments of pig now being made out
of this district greatly exceeds the amount
being manufactured and for this reason the
stocks are being drawn on to do it. 1t is
predicted that the reductions during July
will have been greater than they were dur
ing June; from which it will be seen that
the stocks are in a very bad condition.
There were in the furnace and warrant
yards of the state on June 1, nearly $1,000
tons, which were reduced on July 1 to about
1900 A similar or greater reduction dur
ing July will bring the stocks on August 1
to $1,000 tons and under.
One instance of the heavy iron shipments
now going on is an order for thousand
tons. which is to be shipped from Pensaco-
la to agents at Liverpool. There it will be
distributed to various firms in England
The steamship Leanora is to carry this iron
and is due to sail from Pensacola on July
80.
From this 1t will be seen that the export
iron business has not been knocked out
entirely by the high prices, and by the
great demand in this country.
