LESSONS OF THE WAR.

f., The war IN South Africa has been
a revelation as regards modern mill
tary tactics. Actual experience has
exploded many Of the ideas entertain.
ed concerning the new weapons aud
the methods OF conducting il cam
paign.
On this subject the Knoxville Scnti-
mel says: just as the war with Spain
demonstrated that war vessels could
not reduce land Notifications. so the
present war Slows,that the charges of
oid, across open territory in the face Of
a rifle fire are impossible. The British
have mad very heavy losses wherever
they attempted a frontal attack. On
the other hand The artillery fire of the
Beers against Ladysmith ana Kimbcr-
ley was not effective and the concen-
tratcd lire Of lfty cannon on Crunie's
small army did not accomplish any
thing until the Canadians and Cor
d0ns made their gallant attack and
captured an advance position.
The losses. too, ia battles so far
fought are not heavy compared with
the Civil War with tie old weapons.
In several of the largest battles Of the
civil War from 20 to 30 per cent. of
those engaged were killed. wounded or
missing. In no battle of the Boer war
has the loss risen to ) per cent.

WEEKLY REVIEW
 OF IRON TRADE Has Not Been Stampeded After
 Wall Street Fashion. | ARGE 0lIANTITIEC C0l n
LARGE QUANTITIES SOLD
An Ohio Concern Connected With Rod Mills and the Birmingham Plant Will Be Felt in Wait
 ing Market

Cleveland, O., April 26-The Iron Trade Review says:
 'The iron trade has not been stampeded after the Wall street fashion by the sem sational developments of last week. The announcement concerning overproduction in wire products and the order for the clos ing of some of the American Steel and Wire company's mills have been followed by sharp reductions in the prices of that company, wire nails being lowered $1 keg, or to $220. Pittsburg mill to the job ping trade, and $2.S5 Pittsburg to the re- tail trade in carload lots.
 'The fact that wire and wire nails had advanced more rapidly and to higher point relatively than other products ac- counts for a portion of the reduction. That it was calculated to be sweeping enough to carry with it larger reduction in the price of billets is another consideration. Still another is the fact that competition is beginning to show itself in the wire trade.
 An Ohio concern connected with rod mills steel plants and blast furnaces and the newly started Birmingham, Ala, plant have between them capacity sufficient to- be felt in a waiting market Thus far there Is no action by the large steel pro- ducers nor any statement from them indi- eating the establishment of new price for billets. Transactions few and small, and $32 to s32.5O Pittsburg repre- sents the market Since any change of the steel basis will involve Bessemer pig iron also, further developments in the finished ,ota ri al l,a ta consumption.
 '"rhe iron trade in general has done lit- tie in the past week. The average buyer considered that time of excitement and questioning of the outcome was not time to go into the market. It is impossible as yet to measure the effect of the happen ings in American Steel and Wire company affairs departments of the trade
 Tn the past week with trade at a stand still in so many lines there have been several noteworthy transactions. South ern furnaces have closed export orders for 10000 to 75,00O tons of foundry and forge irons-25, 900 tons being taken by the Ten nessee company, GOO tons by the Virginia Coal, Iron and Coke company, 15,00O tons by the Closs-S Sheffield Steel and Iron com pany, and the balance by the Republic Iron and Steel company for shipments from it's Pioneer furnace 10
 "The American Steel Hoop company has sold large lot of skelp also for foreign shipment. Other negotiations in export trade are under way which expected to develop in an important way little later. Export rail business is a strong feature and there are reports of a con- siderable deal recently sheet bars for shipment abroad

Marriage of Two Popular Young People
 at Tuscaloosa

Tuscaloosa. April 26-(special) )-Yester- day at high noon the marriage of Miss Naneita McEachin and Dr. Sidney Leach was solemnized at the Presbyterian church in the presence of large assemblage. The decorations of the interior were superb. Wreaths of green cedar against white formed a background in the rear, the or- gan pipes were festooned with wreaths, the altar rail was outlined with palms. and banked against the rail was drift of white daisies In the center was pyramid of white flowers, the whole surmounted with a bunch of Easter lilies.
 The wedding party entered the church to the strains of Mendelssohns march. After the ushers, Messrs. J. I. Harrison, Tom Garner; Archie McEachin, pr. Pau, Dr. Faulk and Colonel P. H. Moore, came the bridesmaids, gowned alternately in white and blue ,organdie, wearing white picture hats trimmed with pink roses. They were Misses Ella Leland, Annie Searcy, Lizzie kirkham, Bettie Aldridge of Jackson, Miss; Annie Mcqueen of Eutaw and Jamie McLester of Birmingham. Preceding the bride was the maid of honor, Miss Annie Somerville, who was beautiful in a gown

McEachin, and was met at the altar by the bridegroom leaning on the arm of his best man, Dr. ISillebrew, and the ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr. Clay Lilly. The bride was unusually lovely in handsome dress of pastel blue satin .rI shade, yoke of chiffon applique over white satin and touch of rose velvet at the throat and hands. Her hat was a tur- ban of pastel blue straw draped in white chiffon overlaid with honiton and trimmed with punches of crepe and violets.
 At the home of the bride an elegant we'd ding breakfast was served to the bridal party. The dining-room was elaborately decorated in a color scheme of blue and white. The breakfast table was an ideal picture for such an occasion the white cloth being overlaid with lace and festooned at the side with punches of Easter lilies In the center of the table was a vase of the lilies and over the lace trailed sprays or Smilax. Dr. and Mrs. Leach left for New York on their wedding journey.
 It is seldom that a marriage is recorded or two such popular members of society Mrs. Leach is a daughter of the distin- guished families of McEachin and Somer- ville, and is possessed of rare personal charm and a flower-lke beauty which have made her universally admired Dr. Leach comes of the well-known family of Fitts. and Is also the grandson of the late Chief Justice Wolsey Peck He has made rapid strides in his profession, being the first assistant of Dr. J.
