The dispensary movement has
met its fate in this state. The STAR
felt confident that the movement
would never become a paramount
issue, consequently we have had
little to say about it. But now
comes Hon. John P. Wall, who in

subject, acknowledging his error in

1t is rather remarkable thatsome
of our shipbuilding firms have had
to import iron and steel from Scot
land. 1t is stated that the New
York Shipbuilding company, at
Camden, n. j., has ordered $1,000
tons of manufactured iron and steel
from the Lancashire Iron company,
Scotland, for the reason that home
companies were unable to fill the
order. Judging from this the de-
mand for iron and steel products
in this country must be most ex-
traordinary. Under these circum-
stances it is easily understood why
it is that there is such phenomenal
prosperity in the iron and steel in
dustry. Why is it that new iron
and steel plants are not being es-
tablished? Surely Birmingham,
Alabama, could quadruple her out
put of iron and steel if the capital
for such was forthcoming.

tariiy. The latter class of petitions are,
however. very small, not being over 3
per cent of the total number of cases
filed. COMPROMISES or settlements between
the debtor and his creditors. which are
allowed by the act, have been still fewer.
Not over six settlements or compromises
have taken place here during the exis-

Ninety per cent of the cases are filed as
paupers; that is, the petitioner files an af-
fidavit that he is unable TO pay costs.
This class of cases is brought by labor

tied up by garnishments. After the gar

money turned over they aften pay the

ing this class OF debtors on debts which

claiming that they made a new promise
to pay them. So much complaint of these
proceedings reached the ears of Judge

special charge to the grand jury on the
subject and announced that such per-
sons would be severely dealt with.

to another large congregation at the First

text the 47th, 4Sth, 49th, 50th and 51st
verses of the 10th chapter of Mark which
tells the story of the healing of the blind
man by Jesus on His last memorable jour
ney from Jerico to Jerusalem. The re-
storing of the sight of this blind man ana
the incidents surrounding 1t were dramat-
ically described by DR.. Munhall, who
compared the state of the sinner to the
sightless mans condition, and appealing
to him to call on Jesus while he was pass
ing. The sermon was filled with apt illus
trations and SMILES on the subject of the
text.

into one of these open shafts, he stopped
and called loudly for help. He was heard
by man who ;ived some distance away.
This man lighted his lentern and went to

open shaft and one step further he would
have fallen into it and been dashed to

CLAIM CONVICTS ARE
IN BETTER HEALTH
Sloss Company Official Says the Death
Rate at Coalburg for March
Was Low.

There was an epidemic of pneumonia in
the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Com
pany's convict camp at Coalburg, in JEFF
ferson county, durfn2- Jan-n'c ana Feb
ruary, as stated in the recent quart erly
report of DIR. Shirley Bragg, physician
Inspector, but the disease was checked
and an officer of the company located at
Coalburg stated yesterday that there
were very few deaths among the convcts
In March and that not a single death has
occurred this month. There was but lit
tie diarrhoea or dysentery.
The pneumonia epidemic was not coii-
fined to that particular locality, but was
mere or less general, it is said, through
ont northern Alabama. The health con-
ditions at Coalburg are now report ed
| good.
| On or about July 1 next the Sloss-S Shelf
| field Company will have removed its en-
tire convict camp of about 500 men from
Coalburg to Flat Top mountain, which Is
also in Jefferson. A large double shift is
| employed in opening the new mine at
! Flat Top and the slope has now been
driven about 800 feet. The Southern Rail-
way Company is pushing its branch road
from Littleton Junction to this coal prop
| erty, and will have the construction prob
| ably completed within few weeks. The
| Sloss- Sheffield had hoped to have been
shipping coal from Flat Top by this time,
but the Southern Railway was delayed
with its work.
In the meantime the Sloss-Sheffield
Company built a temporary prison and
hospital at Flat Top, and 1t has already
removed forty convicts there. The hospi-
tai was built at the suggestion of DIR.
Bragg and was put up at a cost of $1,000.
While half dozen convicts were sick
when they arrived at Flat Top, they are
convalescent now.
Flat Top Is described as being an ideal
health place, and officers of the company
say that the prison arrangements there
will be superior to any in the state. The
convicts will have ample room and they
will be able to go direct from the prison
into the mine, thus escaping exposure to
bad weather.
Coalburg had noteworthy record for
good health two years ago, and not unit,
January last was anything like an cpl
demic reported there The Coalburg
mines have been worked to point where
1t is no longer profitable to operate them
| on a large scale; but the seam on Flat
Top mountain is very rich and the COM
pany believes it will prove to be the most
valuable coking coal proposition that it
| has ever handled
