Anniston, March 25.-(Special.)-It has been reported in the papers that the An niston Lime and Stone company has sold its property to the Consolidated Lime com pany, a corporation which has purchased many lime manufacturing plants in Ala bama and adjoining states. There is a rumor, however, that the Anniston Lime and Stone company has not sold its prop erty and will not do so. This rumor is of the stockholders of the company has been called for the purpose of increasing the capital stock to $100,O00. This would indicate that the company expects to en- large its business instead of selling out.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE IRON MARKET
Production and Consumption
 Largest Ever Recorded.
SOME SETTLING OF PRICES
Scarcity of Southern Grades Continues Renewed Activity Seems Inevitable Furnaces Behind With Orders
 Market Closed in Good Form

Cincinnati March 25-(Special )-Rogers, Brown & Co.,, the well-known brokers in reviewing the iron market for the week ending Saturday, March 24, say:
 Nearly one-fourth of the year has pass ed, and the record of production and con- sumption of pig iron marks the largest Of any quarter of the year in the history Of the country, and this in spite of the in- element season, distinguished by unusual variableness of temperature, tending to re- tard both making and consumption of iron.
 There have been some settings of prices in the manufactured products of iron and steel and some foundry and mill grades of pig iron, from the highest figures prevail ing from the opening of the year, but Bes- semer and Basic pig, and irons for malea- bles and car wheels both charcoal and coke are as scarce as at any time during the quarter. Charcoal irons in general continue in active demand, so that prices in these various and important qualities have been maintained by the commanding law of supply and demand.
 "Scuthern foundry grades Nos. 1 and 2, No soft and standard gray forge, con tinue scarce, the furnaces being far be- hind their orders.
 "The tendency of discontented mechanics to extend the labor difficulties that have afflicted Chicago, it is hoped, may be checked by the wise counsel of cool heads and a geneidI strike of the machinists averteG.
 ''The reduction of pig iron stocks in the yards of consumers goes on at rapi1 pace, and daily the demand for placing of fresh orders increases; and the near ap- proach of fair weather, permitting the re- newal of outdoor work in the line of all sorts of construction, railroad repairing, bridge building, etc., gives promise of re- newed- activity in the pig iron market through increased consumption, which will be inevitable. The market closes in good form"

The Power of the Pulpit.

The power of the pulpit over
the morals of a city was never
more plainly shown than at At
lanta last week in the demand
made on the council by DR.. Brough-
ton, pastor of one of the Baptist
churches of that city. that the res
ignation of Mayor Woodward
of Atlanta be accepted. DR..
Broughton a few months back
charged the mayor from his pull
pit of acting in a manner unbe-
coming the mayor of a great city
like Atlanta This brought the
attention Of the council to his case
and he was brought before the
body, confessed the truth and ask
ed forgiveness, assuring them
should he ever be charged again
with like acts he would willingly
resign. The council forgave him
and "UncIe Billy" as he is fami-
llarly known started out next
morning a good mayor. But
his resolution did not hold as two
weeks ago DR.. Broughton again
charged him from the pulpit with
acts worse than at first and report
ed same to the council who now
demand he sign his resignation
paper in their hands.
The case goes to prove the pow
or the pulpit has over the affairs of
any city.

IN MEMORIAM.

On Monday afternoon at three
O'Clock after an illness of two
weeks duration, Mr.. Perry Nugent
breathed his last.
A noble soul has deserted its
earthly tenement to wing its flight
into. those realms where all is
peace. A man of spotless integ
rity DER whose pure soul there
never passed the shadow of an UNI
just act has lived among lis, has
walked with God, and is not.
Unfaltering in his allegiance to
the right, he was one whom all
men could but respect, whose
memory is an illustrous beacon to
mark the path of honor. what
eyer record leaps to light, he never
can be ashamed"
"He stood four-square to all the
winds that blew" In prosperity
and in adversely he was the same;
devoted to his family and true to
his friends. A man of unusual
intelligence, possessing a mind
stored with information, he moved
among us with a quiet dignity
and retiring modesty that makes
the true man. His loss is deeply
felt by all who knew him, but,
while they extend to the bereaved
loved ones who remain. their
heartfelt sympathy in this, their
hour of sorrow, they are comfort
ed by the reflection that he has
found that Peace for which he
longed, and the Divine Love OF
Him whom he adored shall en-
compass him forever.

THE SOUTH AND ITS BOOKS.

The selection of Misslssippi's
new school books this tall is IL mat
ter of deep interest to every father
and mother who regards the love
of child for his home, his people
and their history with any degree
of pride. For thirty years
the schools have been supplied
with books from the pen of north
ern writer's who haye been actual
in their writings by spirit of pre-
judice towards their own land, its
people and their deeds while those
of the South are taught to the
child of the South by its noble
mothers. What the South should
demand on all its books that are
used in the Southern school room
is the truth and when a book is
found on the market that does not
present it, the mark of dlsapprov-
al should be stamped on it, and its
introduction in any of our Southern
schools should be forbid by those
in charge. The Natchez Democrat
last week in speaking of this work,
rather its neglect truthfully re-
marked.
How many of our young men
are aware of the fact that for the
first sixty four years of our ma
tional existence the South furnish
ed the president for fifty-two years
and chief justice of the United
States Supreme Court from 1901
to 1890? Our young men and
young ladies who have graduated
from our public schools know
more about Walt Whitman's
than they do about Thos Nelson
Page, Sidney Lanier, Joel Chan
der Harris and Father Rayan, be-
cause the text books have been
filled with the writing of Whit
more and the works of our South
ern poets and authors are favored
with but scant attention. South
ern literature is q theme so full of
lmortance and SO replete with in
terest, that 1t cannot be passed
with single notice and tho space
at disposal is too restricted to per-
NIT of a thorough discussion at
this time. That it will be a live
issue IN the South cannot be doubt
ed and it be taken up and discuss
at length as a matter of the most
vital importance to the people of
the South.
The question OF the school
books in the South is more impor
tant to Mississippi's future than
the election of judges or the build
of a capital and we trust our
State Superintendent will urge the
committee the adoption of
only those readers, histories and
other books wherein the South and
its people have received the notice
their writings and deeds justly
merit, that the Southern youth
may be armed with the knowledge
to defend his country against the
assaults made on it by the North
ern sectional writer's

About s o'clock last Wednes-
day Mr.. Thomas Ruddock ended
his life by his own hands. The
cause of his unfortunate act was
attributed to despondancy, as he
was a man of family and had been
out of work for -evcral months.
Many attribute, the deed to an
other cause as the day before he
had been given a position by Mr..
w. H. Archer on his plantation,
and it is SAID by his wife that he
had gone off to wards the river to
look for the boat that was to come
ard get his goods'w he stopped
at the stable and ended his life.
Mr.. Ruddock came here from
Bolivar county about six months
ago. During the war he was a
member of Capt. Hunts company
and made a good soldier. The
sympathy of our citizens is ex-
tended to the wife and little chill
dren IN their sad condition.
