SELMA
Taylor Whitely, an EmpIoye of Central
 OH MiI!, Is Killed.

Selma, November 7.-(SpeciaI.)-A ne- gro by the name of Taylor Whitely met a horrible death this morning out at the Central oil Mills. He was the victim of his disregard of an oft-repeated warn ing aginst employees of the mill wearing aprons made of corn sacks. The rule of the mill forbids the ha1<1s to use the sacks for aprons, but Taylor brought him a sack from home and wore it around his work this morning.
 Leading up to the press In the lint room of the mill there are two shafts joined together by a coupling held In place by a set screw This shaft sets about four feet above, the floor, and as the old negro passed by 1t the screw caught in the sack tied around his waist and in the twinkling of an eye he was being whirled rapidly round the revolv- ing piece of machinery. Over and over he went his hands and feet beating against the floor until they were but masses of frayed and bleeding flesh. Then the clothing ripped apart, and the body fell lifeless to the floor, where 1t was discovered some little while after wards by Superintendent Bazemore. Life was entirely extinct when the negro was found The height of the shafting from the floor kept the head from being struck

BANKED
 BY GAR FAMINE
EFFECT OF A FAM INE HAS BECOME A REALITY SOONER THAN ExPEcTED-PIc
 IRON PRODUCTION cURTAILED.

Cleveland, November 1.-The Iron Trade Review this week will say the feature of the week in iron and steel is the banking of fifteen central western blast furnaces because there have not been cars enough to carry them their needed supply of coke. The threatened effect of the car famine has become reality sooner than expected and the dis turbing feature of the situation is that no great relief Is likely to be afforded short of the end of the month.
 What curtailment of the pig iron out put in November will result from the car shortage cannot be measured. The same cause is operating to cut down con- sumption, but 1t would be difficult to strike the balance. The overshadowing fact that Is made more impressive every week Is the unparalleled demand for nearly every form of finished material Bessemer and open hearth steel works are making new output records with ev- cry month, yet the call for steel ex- ceeds their best efforts. There is still a shortage of billets and sheet bars. For the former $2s50 and s2s Pittsburg have been paid. or s450 to s5 above the pool price. Pig iron markets have again been active in the past week. United States Steel Corporation purchases of Bessemer pig iron for delivery in late November and through December have amounted to 2S,0OO tons, all at s15.25 at Valley fur naces. Rolling mills steel works and az ricultura1 works have been the principal buyers of Southern irons in the past week.

Huntsville. November Z--(SpeciaL)- Many reports have been circulated through some of the newspapers during the past few weeks concerning the proba- ble dissolution of the Southern Industrial Association after It's semi-annual meet ing in Memphis in December.

 Huntsville, the city in which the asso- citation was organized three years ago, has located no new industries through that medium and the Chamber of Com merce of this city has virtually decided to withdraw from the association. Other cities have had the same experience.

Wilson of Birm- ingham reached here last night with Fred Sogrim and George McDermott, who have been confined in the Birmingham Jail during the past year on the charge of robbing the postoffice at Normal, five miles north of this city.

Dear Sir: I have been great sufferer from bladder trouble for two years and my case was of a very serious nature compelling me to have several painful and dangerous operations. l have also taken many different remedies; I taken Swamp Root three years.

 My doctors said my bladder had grow ed together in three places, and I was suffering almost death. No man living can say more than I can say for your Texas Wonder. And I call 1t a World 8 Wonder and I hope all who suffers will give a trial
 Wishing you success. am.
