summergill Says Attempt wa
 Made on Ills Ldfe.

Columbus, Ga., July 12.-(Special-)- Henry Summergili. a prominent farmer near Athens. Russell County. Ala, ar rived here today and told The Adver- tiser correspondent a highly sensa- t.onal story of plot to assassiha'e him.
 His father died month ago, ana since that time Summergill has neeh away from his plantation winding up his fathers affairs. Nearing his pian, tation Tuesday afternoon Summefgn was approached by Henry Stvaugh. col ored. who carried double bareiieo shotgun. The negro confessed that ne had intended to kill Summersiii on sight. but his heart failed "him. He said A. N. Rape, a tenant on Summer giIIs plantation, had paid him a sum of money to assassinate Summergiu.
 When Summergill and the negro reached home, Summergill says Rape appeared with a Winchester and tried to kill him. He escaped by flight. The negro was arrested and sent to jail at Scale. A warrant has been sworn out for Rape, but officers have searched for him in vain the past few days. summergiIl says during his enforced absence from the plantation improper intimacy existed between his wife and Rape. To this he attributes the effort to assassinate him. Summergil says he has found several negroes who will swear that Rape attempted to hire them to khl him.
 Summergill is a man of means ana good standing.

 Shippers and Buyers Association.
 The Shippers and Buyers Association of Alabama at a meeting held here last night strongly criticised the State Rail- road Commission After the meeting the following official statement was furnished the press:
 sThe Shippers and Buyers Associa- tion was very much surprised to see in the papers that the Railroad Com mission should expect them to come to Montgomery July 10. The Shippers and Buyers Association had no Idea of doing 60, and any such statement was a gratuitous assumption on the part of the Association; particularly 50 as the Association had sent the Commission an exact copy of the same petition that was mailed to each. effi- ciai of every railroad doing business in Alabama over six months ago. and even yet the Association can not get any direct or satisfactory answer from the Railroad Commissioners to their business inquiries. to business matters of business importance.
 The Shipper and Buyers Associa- tion still insists that the railroads should act fair and pay for delay just the same amount they collect, and have that demurrage $i per day rule work and operate here in Alabama the same as it is working in Georgia and Mississippi, on both sides of us. The Association also insists that the com missioners had no right whatever either legally or morally. to go off half cocked and without any direct infor- nation from the Association nor any understanding or agreement from the Association to meet them fn any way"

THE "YANKEE PERIL"

This is the latest epidemic that Eu-
ropeans are endeavoring to quarantine
against. 1t isn't pestilence, however,
although a good many European writ
ere seem TO think it is in that category;
t is the influx of American manufac-
lures. which. being sold in European
markets from one-half to one-third the
prices charged American consumers in
the highly protected home market, for
the same wares, are surely driving Eu-
ropean industry to the wall.

declares that the menace to Europe is
most serious. as unquestionably it is.
He points out that Europe has already

and, after the United States shall have
been freed from the Philippine war, its
Industrial advance upon Europe will be
fully manifested.
Equally strong in manufacturing and
agriculture and pushing her exports
with great energy, the United States is
now absorbing Europe's money. The

A GREAT LABOR WAR POSSIBLE.

JIp to date all has been plain sailing
for the Billion Steel Trust. but the
chances are that this harmony may De
disturbed by the conflict between the
Amalgam mated Association and the
American sheet steel companies, when
are part of the mammoth steel trust.
President Schaffer, of the Amalgamated'
has issued an oroer that not another
wheel will be turned in the sheet mills
until the scale is signed.
The trouble at present Is with the
sheet workers employed by the Amer
ican Sheet steel Company and independ-
ent concerns,numbering total OF 1900
men. On Saturday night the conference
1t Pittsburg broke up in row and
there seemed to be little chance of re-
sumption of negotiations, although
cooler council-if such is possible this
weather-may prevent a rupture.
The main question, as to the bar iron
and tinplate scales, was settled in favor
Of the Amalgamated Association, and
the Republic, Steel Hoop, Steel and
Wire, Federal Steel, Tinplate and indie
pendent companies, employing a total
Of LOT 900 men, will be enabled to start
a. soon as summer repairs are COM
pCeted. But the American Sheet Steel
and independent companies, employing
Q total Of $1,000 men, failed to agree
with the Amalgamated Association on
the sheet steel scale. and, consequently.
a strike has been ordered IN these mills,
with the threat that if this shall fail
to bring the United States Steel Gorpo-
cation to terms by next fall, strike
OF all the Amalgamated Iron Steel and
Tin Workers will be called, tying up
every wheel in the great iron and steel
trust
The strike of the sheet steel men
seems to be in the nature of prelimin-
ary test of strength between the giant
trust and the Amalgamated Associa-
ton, whose chief executive officer, Pres
ident Shaffer, is quoted as declaring
that the issue between the trust and
its labor, which he thinks is bound
to come sooner or later, may as well
come soon as late.
Thus the dispute stands at the be-
ginning Of the week. If these two
great forces of combined capital on one
hand and organized labor on the other
are foolish enough TO join issue in a
test of brute strength, one of the great
est labor wars in history will result
which would be disastrous to both dis
putants and to the country. This would
be criminal folly. Common sense should
dictate a compromise.

States should be carefully studied, and
a tariff should be established counter to
that=ef the Union, while the European
nations should arrange tariffs touching
each other which would not materially
differ from those now existing.
1t will be observed that, according
to Or. Won Peez, the European tariff al
lance against the United States has left
the stage of mere rumor and is now a
formal proposition.
