 The Florence Wagon Works have been making extensive improvements, and have put in large amount of new machinery and systematized thoroughly each depart ment. An immense wareroom has been built, and the stock rooms and paint shops have been greatly enlarged. Every de- pertinent has been improved so as to fa- cilitate work and increase the output, and a complete system has been inaugurated in the office as well the plant. During September the wagon works made and shipped 1170 wagons and employed PIC men.

A CORNER IN PORK
Sir Thomas Upton Controls the
 Market

Chicago, October 5.-Shorts in October pork were given an unexpected shake up today by the price jumping $2 per barrel, part of it at the rate of 50 cents between trades. The price went from SIS to $l5 and closed at $14.50, net gain of S1 40 for the day Within thirty days there has been an advance of $32Q. Sir Thomas J. Lipton, the English yachtman, tea merchant and packer, is behind the deal. The advance was without great excitement or trade, as not to exceed 5000 barrels changed hands. It a scramble on the part of the shorts on light offerings. At no time was there any quantity offered and it is estimated that higher prices may be look ed for as there is still an uncomfortable shortage utstanding.
 A week ago there was an estimated short age of 75,000 barrels. Upton is stripping it and selling the strips in large quantities at 6ss cents a pound, one lot of 300, GOO pounds being disposed of today at that figure.
 We have no pork to sell for speculative purposes" said his representative, but if anybody wants 1t to ship out we ac- commodate them at reasonable figures. We are anxious that the negros in the South should have pork strips cheap and we are selling them.'

 Thus far the Ministerialists have gained 23 seats and the opposition fifteen, which would give the Conservatives an additional 16 on division in the House of Com mons.
 Last evening MT Chamberlain, Secretary of State for the colonies, sent the follow ing telegram to a candidate.
 Let all patriotic Englishmen remember the words of the Mayor, of Mafeking, "A seat lost to the Unionist government is a seat gained by the Boers."

HUNT SVILLE
Ginning and Ealing Cotton at 10 Cents
 Per Bale

| Huntsville, October 5.-(Specal.) )-Compe- tition between two great congresses and ginneries in this city has brought the price of ginning and baling a bale of cotton down to 10 cents the farmer furnishing the bagging and ties. The Alabama Cotton Oil Company has started an improved square bale gin and compress and offers to bale cotton d 10 cents, less bagging and ties, or $1 with bdgging and ties, and offers a prem- ium on cotton seed. The round bale press of the American Cotton Company is gin- ming and compressing at s1 bale and pays a premium of one-eighth of a cent per pound for the cotton baled in that form. The competition is proving to be a profit to the Focal cotton growers.
 The cotton market is very active here now, the local growers selling at the pre- vailng prices as rapidly the staple can be ginned and baled. Two hundred bales day have been coming in during the past two weeks. Activity in the local market is considerably heightened, because 50,000 Ad- diuonal spndles must be supplied in the MerTimack and Dallas mills.
 News reached the city last night of the death at Triana of Hon. William G. Rowe, an old and respected citizen of Madison County. He had been i'll only short while and his death a shock to his friends all over this county. MT. Rowe was brother of Nathan H. Rowe, an eX-representative of the county in the Legislature, and was himself d candidate for the Legislature in the last Democratic primary. He took a conspicuous part in county politics, and had been a justice of the peace for several years. MT. Rowe was 60 years old. He was d Confederate Veteran.

question was sent for and confessed that his name was Ben. The case Is one of the most novel that has even been developed in the court. Sam Carter claims that he is in- noeent, but the evidence against Ben Car ter, for whom Sam was convicted, is most conclusive. The brothers have been famous in the northern part of the county for their similarity, and only those who are intimate ly acquainted with them can distinguish one from the other. Attorney Bankhead will appeal the case to the Supreme Court for an adjustment of the difficulty.
