Something About An1ist0n Which
 Inspires Energy in Visitor
FOURTH CITY IN ALABAMA
Is Less Than Twenty Years Old ana Has a Population of 15,ooo. Every Ingredient for
 Thriving City.
BY NED BRACE.

Anniston, April 2S.-tspeciaD-There Is something about this town which inspires one to walk fast when going from one point to another. It is new and energetic It is really inspiring. Everybody in it steps high and walks fast, and seems to feel good and prosperous. It is new town of the new Alabama. I say town, but 1t really furnishes to the railroads of the State tonnage second only to Bir- mingham and in population, it is the fourth largest city in the State There are 15,OO0 people in Anniston, and there are 30 churches. or one church to every 300 people. People don't build churches unless they are prosperous. I mean they don't build churches in profusion. And they have built them in profrsion in An niston.
 There are handsome residences and great educational facilities, iron plants, rolling mills, textile industries, splendid

railroad facilities and indeed everything in Anniston which goes to make up great and thriving city. It reminds me of those cities in Ohio which are so prosper ous.
 Few of us in Alabama really know what there is to Anniston. Other cities have been more talked about and enthused over, but Anniston is full of energetic peo- ple who are working for profit, who are making it and who are therefore building up a good city. It has the largest cast iron pipe plant under one roof in the world. It makes over 200 tons of pipe a day. It likewise has two soil pipe plants of large proportions. These plants make the three, four and five inch pipe used by plumbers. The great plant makes all sizes up to 72 inches in diameter.
 But to go into a few details. Anniston is less than 20 years old. It has a popula- tion of 15,0OO and has besides the pipe plants mentioned, two great iron fur naces of the Woodstock Company-one making 300 tons per day and the other 200 tons per day. of pig iron from brown ores which are stripped from the hill- sides. all about within two miles of the Union Depot And this ore ranks among the best in this country. producing from

SHIP TRUST WORRIES ENGLAND.
Revelation of Terms of Agreement Causes Papers to Attack Government.

London, April 29.--The revelation of the terms of the agreement made between the German lines of steamers and the shipping combine has led to renewed newspaper attacks upon the British gov ernment.
 w. J. Pirrie, head of the shipbuilding firm of Harland & Wolfe, will meet J. P. Morgan in London today to settle various details connected with the combine and to prepare a circular for the shareholders of the companies concerned.
 The Daily Express this morning asserts positively that the shipping combine has forced the Canadian Pacific Railroad to boycott the Beaver line of steamships by the threat that if the road failed to com ply with the combines demand no emil grant carried on any ship under the con- trol of the combine would be allowed to travel over the Canadian Pacific.
 At hurried meeting of the directors of the Canadian Pacific, continues the Daily Express. 1t was decided that 1t would be useless to try to fight the com bine. As a result of this action the Brit ish agents of the Canadian Pacific now refuse to issue passages on steamers of the B sax CT line.

FOR ARBITRATION.
Publishers and Printers Find Way
 to Settle All Differences.

Chicago, April 2S.-The American News paper Publishers Association, embracing a large majority of the leading newspa- pers of the country, has executed agree ments for industrial arbitration with the International Typographical Union and the International Pressmens and assist ants, to continue in force for period of five years from May IS. 1902. All the me- chanical departments of the offices are thus covered.
 The agreements are confined to the members of the associa tion and the chief advantage is that industrial peace is as- sured, not only for the term of any local contract, but also for the period between the termination of an old contract and the formation of new one.
