There Will be about $4,000 Of the PAM
phlets published. and these will be dis
tributed all over the country. Secretary
Gibson of the Commercial club says he
has acquaintance In the large cities who
will be able to distribute several thou
sand eaoh and that by this means the
real value of Birmingham as a manu-
featuring and industrial center will be
shown.
Mr.. Gibson thinks the pamphlet should
be printed and ready for distribution by
February 1. II possible, but not later than
March i. It is his idea to send thousands
of them to the st. Louis exposition, pre-
vided Alabama has a good exhibit there.
He is a member of the commission ap-
pointed by Governor Jelks to arrange
for the Alabama exhibit. and he will
make fight to have flrst-class exhibit.
He believes that the pamphlet this year

such a great increase that 1t will be the
best advertisement Birmingham can
have. The matter will probably be
brought up before the next meeting of
the club and some action will be urged.

Ad Winds May Yet Accept
His Appointment
DID NOT SEEK A PLACE
D. w. Mclver of Montgomery Declines
Position Offered Him of Stamp
coIlector-W. s. Standlfer
Will Serve Temporarily.

Ad Winds, colored, of Greensboro, who
was rendered a position of deputy collec-
tor In the Birmingham office of the col-
lector of Internal revenue by ]. o. Thomp-
son, the new collector, said last night
that he had not decided whether he would
accept or refuse the appointment, but
that he would consider the matter and
decide within the next few weeks.
]. o. Thompson. the new collector, was
sworn into office and received his conf
mission yesterday morning All of the
books. stamps and other effects were for
mally turned over to him as the success
sor of ]. b. Bingham, and he is now off,
eiauy internal revenue collector for the
district of Alabama.
d. w. McIver of Montg omery TO whom
the position of stamp collector at Mont
gomery was rendered by ne now collec-
tor, declined the appointment, and Rufus
e. Freeman of Montg )mery, a negro, has
been appointed to The place. Mr.. Me1ver
was rendered the appointment without
any understanding. and upon personal
grounds.
The case of IA Winds is being consider
ably discussed in the city by both demo-
Gratis. and republicans. 1t was given out
in the office of the collector yesterday
that Winds had declined the appoint
ment as deputy collector. Winds made
the following statement last night:
II have not fully decided yet whether
I will take the position or not. 1 will
have to consider it before I can accept
on account of business. The appoint
ments made by Mr.. Thompson are giving
satisfaction to the republicans of the
state.
when 1 led the fight against the lilly
whites l was not seeking any position.
1 do not want General Clarkson and the
administration to think that I was seek
ing an office or needed one. I simply
made the fight because the lilly whites"
had departed from the faith. Mr.. Thomp-
son appointed me to a good place and
urged me to qualify this morning, but
could not do so because 1 haven't had
time to consider the matter and it would
not be justice to my present employers
to give up my present position without
giving them an opportunity to supply
my place. Besides this 1 never make
any business moves without consulting
friends who have given me employment
all my life"
Winds spent yesterday in Birmingham
and will return to Greensboro today. He

attorney.

PANY WILL MAKE REPORT.

tomorrow afternoon several important
committees appointed by the board are to
report.
The chief committee is that appointed
at the last meeting to confer with the
committees of the Commercial club and
the city council looking to a settlement
of the question of cheaper water rates in

ham Railway, Light and Power company

100 tickets will also make report The
committee has had a conference with
President Jemison. in which he stated it
would be impossible for the company to
have both tickets and transfers.

ing the National Board of Trade win also
come up for consideration. 1t is UNDER
stood that the members of the board are
favorable to joining the national organi-
cation.
The license schedule for next year will
also be discussed. Last year the Board
of Trade made fight on a section of
the license schedule and 1t was removed,
but the members .of the board claim that
it was tackled on to another section of
the schedule and the merchants did not
derive any benefits. The board is determ-
ined, so a member states to see that the
merchants do not suffer in the same man
ner this year.

TENNESSEE AND SHEFFIELD
COMPANIES MAKE RECORDS

The Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad
companys five Ensley's furnaces made a
record in November. They turned out
24104 tons of pig iron. The best previous

furnaces was 1850 TONS 1t is a notewor-

was made without any new equipment.
Four of the Ensley furnaces and proba-

SAYS THAT NEGRO
ROBBED POLICEMAN
UNUSUAL CASE Isl HEARD IN
JUDGE FEAGIN'S COURT-NE-
GRO GRABBED PoLfcEMAN'S
PISTOL AND "HELD HIM UP"

Tom McKinnek, a negro, was yesterday
bound over to the criminal court without
bond on a charge of robbery. He was
arrested recently and charged with rob-
berry of pistol, horse, saddle and bride
from ex-Polceman j. I. Mcknight three
years ago.
The case is one of the most unusual
that has ever occurred in Birmingham.
Policeman Mcknight followed this ne
gro into the woods to the other side of
Smithfeld and when he caught up with
him, dismounted and, hanging the bride
Of his horse over his arm, he started to
put the handouts on the negro. AS he
stepped up the negro, who had shown
no signs of giving trouble, grabbed him
around the waist and jerked his pistol
from the scabbard. The horse became
frightened at the fight between the two
men and tried to jerk away. This made
the left hand of the policeman useless,
as the bride was hanging over that arm
and the negro got the best of the fight,
finally compelling the policeman to stand
aside at the point of the pistol until he
could get on the horse and ride away.
He left the policeman without weapons
and it is considered strange that he did
not shoot him, as he threatened. For
three years the negro was at large and
only recently he was captured. The horse
was turned loose three days after he was
stolen and returned of his own accord to
police headquarters.
The affair happened just three years
ago. it being on December l, 1899.

main to be arranged and the price Is not
given out. The contract win differ from
the other IN the fact that the coal Is to
be delivered at the mouth of the room in
the mine. The governor stated that the
price is such as will yield a net result
equally as profitable.
The board has made the calculation that
the present profit of 100000 from the con-
Wet system will be doubled under these
contracts.
The contents of rejected bids are not
yet disclosed.
The number of convicts allotted to the
Tennessee company represents practically
the number of state convicts now en-
ployed by It. This leaves 200 or $50 for
the sloss- Sheffield. which is about the
number that company now employs. The
Tennessee also works about 400 county
conyicts and the sloss about 20.
President J. c. Maben of the Sloss COM
pany is in the city and will return to-
morrow evening. Walker Percy is in

company.

ing repaired, will be lighted up early in
January.
The Oxmoor furnace. which went In
blast only two or three weeks ago, is
making little over $50 tons a day and
this output will be inefeased within the
next few weeks.
The Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron COM
pany's seven furnaces made a record in
November in putting out about 1880 tons.
The companys best previous month was
October, when the output was a little
over $1,000 tons.
The Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad
companys steel plant at Ensley made
over 1900 tons last month, while this
was not up to the October output, which
was over 10000 tons. 1t was regarded as a
fine months work in view of the fact that
November had five Sundays. The steel
mill is said to be in excellent condition
and before next spring it will probably
be making eighteen or nineteen tons a
month.

PAMPHLETS WILL BE ISSUED
SHOWING THE STATES OF THE
MANUFACTURING AND OTHER
INTERESTS OF THE CITY.

A movement is on foot in the city to get
out a pamphlet about February 1 show
ing the exact status of the manufactur-
ing and other interests of birmingham as
shown In the annual reports of the city
officers and the heads of all the indus
tries. It is probable this will be taken
up by the Commercial club and unless
some other body in the city takes hold
of it. the club will issue the pamphlet
in its name.
The object of the pamphlet is to show
the exact figures of the city's municipal
government, the bank clearings and the
yearly reports of the big companies. It
Is believed this will show better than
anything else the growth of Birmingham
and the district. This report will include
the banks, the iron, coal and other mine
products, the outputs of the furnaces.
