A RUMOR CLEARLY EXPLAINED
Hardle and Johnston Are for Ex-ooV.
Johnston for Governor, But Both
Are Strong Supporters of
Pettus for the Senate.

The statement published In a number
of newspapers that the nominees for the
legislature in Perry county are opposed
to the reelection Of Gen. E. w. Pettus
TO the United States senate. seems to
have been without sound foundation.
Senator Pettus has himself authorized
the statement that both the nominees
r. A Harde and c. C. johnson, are his
friends and supporters. The rumor that
they were against him possibly arose
from the fact that both of them are sup
porting Capt Joseph F. Johnston for
| governor
X. r. L. Nell of Selma. secretary of the
Pettus state campaign committee, was
In Birmingham yesterday and regarding
the rumor as to the attitude of the Perry
nominees. he said:
Senator Pettus friends are by nc
means allowing the unanimity Of express
sions of endearment for him to lull them
to sleep, and while there is no fanfare
of trumpets or beat of drums being
made in his behalf. there is a we'll organ

that nobody could have received the NOM

that Johnston will not carry twenty OF
the sixty-six counties, and that Governor
Jelks will defeat him as badly. If not
worse, than Senator Morgan did two

cHARRED BONES MYSTERY.
Chief of Police and Coroner Looking
for CIues-Woman Theory.

Further investigation is being made by
the authorities into the mystery sur
rounding the charred bones and burnt
flesh found Friday night in the building
at 1905 Second avenue which was partially
destroyed by fire Wednesday night.
1t is strongly believed that woman
was burned to death during the fire and
that careful investigation may show
the trunk. skull and other portions of the
body. This investigation has not been
made, but as soon as possible a careful
search will be instituted by the Chief
of Police Austin and Coroner Paris.
The theory that some one was murdered
has been entirely abandoned.
Chief of Police Austin and Coroner
Paris went through the building yester-
day and made a serch for clues, but
would not say what they found Chief
Austin is working on the case himself
and has several clues which he thinks
will develop into something. He says
no missing women have been reported
to the police, but that 1t is possible for
negro women to disappear and never be
missed.
He has evidence that a woman has been
in the building several times late at night
several times within the past few months.
He Is not certain who she is, but is trying
to find her, If alive. He will have Pat
terson, the janitor. and the boy who has
been sleeping in the building brought to
his office and closely questioned.

NOT MANY MINERS
OUT OF WORK NOW
PRESENT CONDITION OF UNITED
MINE WORKERS Is SAID TO BE
BETTER THAN AT ANY TIME
SINCE JULY 1.

With the exception of about $50 men
scattered throughout the district all OF
the 1850 members of the United Mine
Workers of America Alabama district
No. 20 are now at work.
The following statement of men out
was furnished by Secretary Clemo:
At Holbridge 1875 men.
In Winston county 40 men.
In Shelby county 60 men
At Warrior 65 men.
At Blocton mine No. $50 men, only
waiting for mine work to be finished.
Secretary Clemo stated that the present
condition of the Alabama miners was
better than 1t had been at any time since
the first day of July, and that it was inn
proving every day. Settlements with
various operators are being made with
little trouble every few days, and 1t is
Mr. Clemo's opinion that every mine
will be in full operation within a short
time.
The Alabama miners continue to send
contributions to the miners In the Penn
sylvania and other districts who are out
on a strike All men working In this
district give s1.OO per week out of their
pay, while the officers of the district give
the same amount and 25 per cent of their
salaries. This gives the total from the
district more than $4,000 per month.
Besides the regular weekly contribution
the various locals have given contribu-
lions from their treasures Several have
sent sums ranging from $50 to $500. An
exact statement of the amount sent can
not be learned at this time owing to the
fact that the locals have not made their
reports to the office of the district Of
f1cers.
A committee has been appointed to So
licit contributions from the citizens OF
Birmingham. This committee made a
canvass last week and met with much
success. They will continue this canvass
this week.
The members of the committee are:
Adam Stewart. w. p. Bynum and r. A.
Statham.

IRON MARKET
AT THE HIGH PRICES

The continued active demand for 1908
iron keeps the market strong. The large
companies have sold freely on a ST for

been made at SIS. Spot iron is SO scarce

In July and that August would exhibit

much talked about during the ordinary
years at this season The dull period has
failed to arrive and there is still marked
activity in pig iron. The action of large
buyers in closing for their requirements
for the first six months of next year is
apparently havirg its influence and many
of those who said that they would wait

CAMPAIGN NOTES.
From Governor Johnston's Campaign
Committee.

Governor Johnston made four speeches
In Walker county last Saturday to fine
crowds Over five hundred heard him in
Jasper and Mt Carbon HILL where DR..
Cunningham ives sent to interfere with
his appointment, the governor nad over
rs while Cunningham had 81. AT Town
ley over 200 heard Governor Johnston.
Last week Governor Johnston spoke to
Splendid crowds in east Alabama, and
his friends say he VIII carry every county
that he spoke In, end by large major
tiles.
In Jasper the Confederate Veterans
were out In force. They say that II looks
as II the veterans are being shelved.
With one exception Governor Johnston Is
the only vet sran running fer state Of
fee They say that on August % Cover
nor Jelks will know what 1t means to try
to down the old Confederates. They are
seeing to il that another accident" does
not give him tho office; that the veterans
ere entitled to 1t for a number Of years
yet.
II rs reported at Johnston headquarters
that the story is being circulated that
Governor Johnston proposes to overthrow
the new constitution, and re-enfranchise
the negro. The governor has denounced
this through the press and In every
speech, but 1t does not close the mouths
of some disciples Of Annanias.
A letter from wire grass county saws
there are All voters IN this beat. l have
seen all but 30, and $50 are straight for
Johnston
The news received from the black belt
is that Johnston will carry nearly every
county in it. The opposition first said
Johnston had only 30 votes in Dallas; they
now cofcede 700, and as there will be
about 1900 votes cast ana Johnston is
making rapid gains there, It is safe to
say that he will carry the county.
Every letter that comes shows that
Governor Johnston Is making steady
gains In every section. The action of the
Jeiks committee in bringing out Tom
Hefiin and Tom Bulger for Jelks Is caus-
ing much amusement. They have been
for Jelks since the first. and the attempt
to cause q stampede by marching these
same old boys around the top of the hill
causes 'inextingushable laughter In the
Johnston camp.
The voters in Jefferson remember that
Governor Johnston has brought over a
million dollars into the Birmingham dis
trict, and Governor Jelks not five-cent
piece.

and there is every indication that the
buying movement this month will be as
heavy as during the month of July. The
furnaces in the Mshoning and Shenan-
go Valleys report that cole shipments
have been very bad Of late and the pro-
duction of iron is eoessarlly curtailed.
chicago-There have been no radical
changes IN this market since last report
Apparently we are 10 nearer to any
definite answer as to how long will 1t
last" unless 1t may be that prices still
have an advancing tendency.
The buying CT local iron has been
steady during the PAST week, although
no orders of particularly noticeable size
have been placed.
Furnace prlces have not changed, ex-
cept as here and there some rapidly fill
ing order book has either called for a
little higher figures or deliveries further
into the future.
Purchases are now being made without
any hesitancy for the first half of next
yefr, and some inquiries have been re-
ceived covering deliveries from January:
to December.
There is still good demand for spot and
early delivery material
The coke situation does not improve
and this material is very scarce and
brings what might be called fancy prices
for spot delivery.
