GEN. JOHN B. GORDON
To Lecture at the Auditorium in This
 City Thursday, September

Just at the opening of the season the people of Birmingham are to be given a rare treat. General John B. Gordon will deliver his new and wonderfully interesting lecture, entitled First Days of the South ern Confectionery" at the Auditorium on Thursday night, September 6.
 Some of the people of this city have heard General Gordon's lecture upon the last days of the Confederacy but he has never spoken on the First Days" before in Birmingham. Those who have heard both lectures say that his new one far sur- passes any former effort of this eloquent and gallant old soldier.
 Words are inadequate to describe this lecture-it must be heard to be appreciated. Men and women, old and young, soldiers and civilian, Confederate and Federal, alike honor and respect this grand man who has done more than any other score of men to harmonze a divided people and break down sectionalism They flock in great numbers to hear him whenever ha speaks. From the number of tickets al- ready sold so far in advance 1t is evident he will have a crowded house.

REFUSED REQUEST
 TOP LOWER RATES
Southern Iron Committees Reply to Manufacturers Association.
GROUNDS ARE NOT STATED
Not See Their Way Clear to Grant the Concessions
 Asked For

The railroads will not reduce the freight rates pig iron shipped from the Bir- mingham District, or at least that is the answer the Southern Iron Committee has made to the request of the Iron Manufac- turers' Association.
 The Iron Manufacturers Association and the Southern Iron Committee held a con ference in the city three or four weeks ago at which time the iron magnates appealed to the railroads to lower the freight rates on pig iron shipped to the distributing points in the North and West and to the Atlantic ports. They urged this reduction on account of the present low price of iron and the disadvantage the Southern manu- Iacturers suffer when they undertake to compete for business beyond their district. It was argued that the presente freight rates were established when iron was at it's highest price and when the demand for it exceeded the production, when buy CTS eagerly bought up every ton they could get hold of.
 Lower Prices
 It was further argued that the price of iron had fallen to very low figure and that the demand had almost ceased but
 
 of the North and West on even terms with the manufacturers of those sections they could at least divide the business with them.
 The Southern Iron committee, after listen ing to the arguments of the iron manufac- turers, stated that the matter would be taken under advisement and referred to the traffic departments of the different roads. Thursday the reply of the roads was re- ceived by Major W. A. Moody, chairman of the Southern Iron committee, and he in turn handed it to Secretary Erskine Ramsay of the Iron Manufacturers Asso- citation yesterday.
 Request Refused
 While the exact language of the reply has not been made public, it is stated that the request for reduced freight rates is re- fused. The grounds on which the refusal is based are not stated.
 MT. Ramsay has mailed copy of the ply to each member of the Iron Manufac- turers Association, and until they have had time to consider it no further action will be taken. In fact it is not known just what the iron manufacturers will do, whether they will undertake to get another hearing before the southern committee, or whether they will drop the natter where it now stands.
 It Is statd that the local companies could dispose of a large tonnage in the north and west if they had freight rates that would enable them to ship their product to those sections

Death of Bertha Bryan.

Died at her home in this city,
Friday morning, May 1lth, Bertha,
eldest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. f..
A. Bryan, of consumption.
Bertha was born at Vincennes.
Indiana, on December, 20th 1882,
coming to Pullman with her par
ents about six years ago. She grad
uated from the public school of this
city with the class of 1897, and en-
tered the preparatory department
OF the college from which she grad
uated with her class last June.
Even then, however, disease had
fastened itself upon her young life,
and it was only by effort that she
was enabled to stay with her class
mates till the course leading to
entry to the college had been com
pleted Every effort was put forth
by Bertha's parents and friends to
stop the inroads of the dread dis
ease, but it all proved unavailing.
and her spirit has winged its flight
to the Great Beyond.
Bertha was a girl Of sweet dis
position and beautiful character,
and had large circle of loving
friends. To the mourning family
the sympathy of the community
goes out in their hour Of sadness.
The funeral services will be held
from the United Presbyterian
church, tomorrow, at 2:30 o'clock
and the intimate friends fthe fam.
lily are invited te attend.
