ENSLEY.
Insurance Rates VIII Be Reduced so
Per Cent at Once.

Ensley, September 3.-(Special.)-
Some time ago movement was started
to decrease the insurance rates in
Ensley. 1t had the hearty support of
all the business interests to such an
extent that an election will soon be
held for the purpose of authorizing a
special tax to equip the fire depart
ment.
The equipment necessary to secure
the reduction in rates was purchased
today from Mr.. Hubbard, representing
the Fabric Fire Hose company of At
lanta, and consists of two fire wagons
and 600 feet of hose This, with the
hose already on hand, will equip the
fire department in the manner agreed
upon by the city officials and the
Southeastern Tariff association, and
will give rate OF insurance equal only
to one-half of what is paid now. There
will also be two paid members of the
fire department constantly kept-at the
fire station.

SHEFFIELD.
Possession Given of Furnaces Sold BY
Tennessee Company.

Sheffield, September -(Special)-The
sale of the properties of the Tennessee
Coal Iron and Railway company In this
place to the United States Iron corpor-
alton includes three modern blast fur
naces also large tracts of mineral lands
in Franklin county, and it is believed
the transaction will lead to further in
vestments by the purchasers. Details of
the sale have not yet been made public
though possession of the property has
been given. These are the furnaces in
which Memphis capitalists were largely
interested at one time.
Cincinnati capitalists announce that all
necessary arrangements have been COM
pleted for establishing big brewery and
ice plant here. A handsome building de-
signed for the purpose was constructed
during the boom days of Sheffield, but
has never been used. This property has
been acquired by the Cincinnati people
and the new industry will be inaugurated
as soon as the necessary machinery can
be put in.
Strong pressure is being brought to
bear on the city council to grant water
and light franchises to a company which
is trying to infuse new life into Shelf
field. The matter will come up at the
council meeting tomorrow night, and
the result is awaited with much inter-

HORSES ACTUALLY
DIVE into WATER
MANAGER MAcKNloHT OF THE
STATE FAIR ASSOCIATION SAYS
THERE is NO FAKE ABOUT THIS
ATTRACTIVE AFFAIR.

A great deal of curiosity is expressed
by many persons in regard to the diving
horses which are TO appear at the state
fair this fall Some people think that
it must be fake, that the horses do not
actually dive into a pond Of water as the
fair management have stated In their ad-
vertisements. To remove this impression
General Manager MacKnight makes the
following statement:
There are men and women In Birmng-
ham who have seen these horses perform
in northern cities. The management of
the fair has the testimony of these eye
witnesses. as well as the certified en-
dorsement Of some of the most prominent
people in the country who have Witness
ed these performances at the Buffalo ex-
position, and at other large fairs. 1t is.
therefore, an absolute fact that these
horses dive just as represented and there
is no exaggeration in saying that it is one
of the most sensational shows now be-
fore the American public. In order that
readers of The Age-Herald may see just
how the dive appears in practice, pict-
ure taken from an instantaneous photo
graph is herewith presented The horses
come slowly TO the edge of the platform

MONEY is SECURED.
Shortage of Elks' Treasurer Has Been
Made Good.

Mayor Drennen has received a letter
from Grand Exalted Ruler George p
Cronk of the Benevolent Order of Ell5s,
in which it is stated that the full short
age of Grand Treasurer ORR had been
paid and that the order would not lose
a penny because of the misuse of its
funds. The amount involved was more
than $4,000 and the settlement was ar
ranged at Meadville, Pa, several days
ago.
The resignation of Treasurer ORR has
also been requested. The position will
be offered Sam Needs of Cleveland by
Grand Exalted Ruler Cronk. whose home
is in Omaha, Neb. When the shortage
was first discovered 1t was decided that
ORR should be prosecuted but this may
not be done now that the amount has
been paid.
1T is interesting to note" said Mayor
Drennen. THAT the fact of Treasurer
ORR being under a bond of more than
$4,000 is the result of a movement start
ed by Judge b. M. Allen of Birmingham,
who was Grand Exalted Ruler In 1900.
When Judge Aliens term of office expir-
ed he recommended that the treasurer
of the order be placed under a guaranty
company bond in an amount of not less
than $4,000. This recommendation was
adopted and since that time the officer
with the money has been made secure
in this way"

ATHENS.
r. n. Walker Buys the Limestone
Democrat.

Athens. September 8. = Especially - The
Limestone Democrat published in this
place, has changed hands again, this
time Messrs. Fusch and Thaeh who
bought early in the year. having sold to
r. II. Walker. who was formerly editor
and owner of the paper, having sold
about three years ago to Lester and
Pettus they in turn selling to Fusch and
Thach. Mr.. Walker has been engaged in
newspaper work at Tuscaloosa and Me-
ridian, Miss. He is cordially welcomed
back to Athens. where he was reared. He
will issue the Democrat this week It
will remain democratic.
Mr.. Fusch Is a member OF the faculty
of the Agricultural school in this place
and Mr.. Thach is the democratic nominee
for representative from this county and
lawyer. and they found it impossible to
devote the necessary time to the paper.
Some character of disease has developed
among the cattle in this place that is
taking them off. 1t is possibly the muir
rain caused by the extreme dry weather
that has prevailed for some months in
this locality.
Athens lost one of her most prominent
and useful citizens last night in the
death of Thomas J. Irwin, who for many
years has been a prosperous business
man of this place. He was a jeweler and
stood high in the estimation of all who
knew him. He leaves a widow and one
daughter to mourn his death.
The large mills that have been saving
up a vast tract of timber in the western
part of the county have completed their
work and are now moving to other
points. The company cut about 100000
feet from one farm. The lumber is said
to be the finest ever cut in this county.
Never in the history of this section was
cotton so short and the fields as white at
this season of the year. The present in
dications are that the entire crop will be
gathered by the middle Of October. This
county will not make over a fourth of a
crop. Farmers are very disheartened and
blue. Corn in the corn belt is very fine.
