INCORPORATING
 EAST LAKE TOWN
To be Considered by Citizens
 Monday Night
SOME REASONS ARE GIVEN
The Principal One Having to Do With Adequate Public Schools Con cealed Weapons Require the
 Presence of Police

There is much talk of incorporating East Lake. and the prominent idea, as expressed by all who are in favor of incorporation, is 10 improve the public schools, and, in fact, have a school system and school house in keeping with the times MT. W. E. Sors- by who has heretofore opposed incorpora ton, is now very much in favor of it. Be- ing asked his reasons for now favoring incorporation, he said:
 "Yes, 1 have been against it, and did all I could to prevent incorporating the town. My reasons for now favorng it are, first, the miserable aceommoda tons we have for housing the school children. The idea of housing more than 225 school children on the second floor of the Hunt Hall, build ing of about 40x40 feet with less than three-foot stairway for ingress and egress, has disgusted me, and I am in favor of building a school house to accommodate them. 1 well see that if fire were to oc- cur near the stairway some of these little ones would certainly be trampled to death in the rush to escape. Again, there are more children in the school now than we have teachers to properly teach-the classes, some of them have about fifty children, as I understand it.
 Secondly, l am heartily weary of con- stantly hearing the discharge of firearms about our homes at night. We are getting very large aggregation of negroes, and you know they need the bluecoats to man. age them"
 What effect will incorporation have on the price of real estate in the proposed limits?'
 Tt will certainly increase values. You compare prices of East Lake property with that of Woodlawn, where they have public school facilities, and Woodlawn is far ahead of East Lake3 and Woodlawn is daily building and improving. I could give you q great many reasons why I am now in favor of incorporation, but I do not deem It necessary, for our people are intelligent and thoughtful and are considering the question seriously"
 'Then you do not think there will be any great opposition to incorporation?"
 No, sir. Of course, we have some good men who are opposed to public schools who will oppose incorporation, but my opinion is that the patrons of the public schools will almost solidly support the movement, under proper charter, and some of our best men are now preparing a progressive charter, which will be publicly considered on Monday night, October 22, when all the people will have an opportunity to make suggestions"
 It seems that from all that can be learned the people of the town are discuss ing the incorporation question in business way.

SYMPATHETIC MEN OF BESSEMER OUT Rolling Mill Employees Strike on Account of Ens|ey Steel
 Mill Trouble

The employes of the Bessemer rolling mill went out on a strike yesterday after noon on account of the strike at the Ems ley steel mill of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company The strike at the Bessemer rolling mill is not on account of any grievance the men at that plant have against the company, but through sympa- thy with the strikers at the Ensley steel mill and on account of a clause in the con- stitution of the Amalgamated Association of the Iron and Steel Workers, which pro- vides that where any one company owns or controls two or more mills and the em- ployes of one of the mills are out on Il strike the Amalgamated men who are eni- ployed at the other mills shall ref0se to work until the grievance of the men orr a strike shall have been settled.
 Both the Ensey steel mill and tine Bes. semer rolling mill are owned and operated by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company. It will be recalled that the Amalgamated Association members at the steel mill struck week ago last Friday because the company would not recognize the association. The men who went out on the strike are still out, and say they will not return to work until the company agrees to recognize the union. They claim to have added to the number of strikers during the past week. On the other hand the company continues to operate the mill but with a smaller force and fewer heats per day. it is question as to which will ultima tely win in the contest.
 Meetings were held at both Bessemer and Ensley last night, which were attend ed by members of the executive board.
 There are no signs of weakening on the part of either side.

 ticipated MULTITUDES ARE COMING People from All Over Alabama and the Adjoining States Will Be Here
 and Will See Great Things
 Daily Concerts
ATTITUDES ARE COMING

The Alabama State Fair, November 1-10.
 The privileges for the State Fair are sell ing right along, and the bidders for them are offering stiff prices. Everybody re- alizes now that the State Fair will have enormous crowds in attendance each day, and the privileges will be worth considera- ble money to those fortunate enough to secure them
 Mayof Drennen, member of the board of directors stated last night that the fair was going to be the greatest success of any similar fair ever held in the South
 T have never seen anything like it.. he said. Ut Is going to be twice as big as We anticipated when first started out. The subscribers to the guarantee fund are paying up with the greatest liberality and We are meeting all bills as they come In. The people coming to the fair from all over Alabama and from other states in the South. We are going to have a show Tor them that they will not regret having come to see. We have been agreeably sur prlsed at the number and the character of the exhibits that have been secured for the lar. They have come, in many instances unsolicited and in all cases without hesita- ton. The Alabama State Fair of 1900 is going to be the best and most complete exposition of the states agricultural and mineral and manufactured products ever before seen'
 Arrangements are being made for a con cert every afternoon during the fair There is enough local talent to make this feature attractive and the management of the fair have assurance of the cooperation of number of the best known musicians Of the city in this undertaking E. E. Williams who has successfully put on a number of operas in this city in the last few years, has consented to conduct con cert at the fair grounds one afternoon during the fair It is believed that Profes- sor Guckenberger of the Conservatory of MUSIC will do likewise Others that will be asked to conduct concerts and who. it Is believed, will consent to do so, are Pro- lessor Charles Washburn. the Pollock stephens Institute the Birmingham Semi nary, Professor Fred l..

Andres Monument Doomed

New York, October 20-The plot of ground on which the historic monument erected at Tappan, N. r., by the late Cyrus w. Field, in memory of Andre, the revolution ary spy, was sold today for non-payment of taxes. Since the death of MT. Field the memorial has been neglected. and to- day it passed into the hands of George Dickey of Nyacke, who says that he will obliterate it. The monument was unveiled October ?, 1879, and in April, 1882, attempts were made to destroy 1t by an explosion of nitro-glycerine
