 "Gadsden is admirably situated near all kinds of lumber and has been a very large lumber market for many years. Timber is foated down the river from 150 miles above and is lowed up the river from 8 miles below, which furnishes most of the timber for our car works and other in- dustries.
 Among our principal industries we have the Gadsden plant of the Southern Car & Foundry Co.,, which build freight cars Then we have two plants. operated by local capital that build mining cars, and the Gadsden Furnace of the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron Company, the A. and J. Manufacturing Company which was built and is operated by home capital, and which are successfully manufacturing stoves. The Gadsden Pipe Works, just starting up, is also owned and operated by some of the citizens of Gadsden"
 "Gadsden is building up a large whole sale business We have three wholesale grocery establishments and several brokerage firms and two wholesale hard ware houses, all doing a large and profit able business. The Sand Mountain coun- try, just west of us, which Is building up very rapidly is a good field for our wholesale merchants.
 The iron ore is very extensive in this district. We claim to have more iron ore in this district than any other in the state. This is backed up by the report

HOLD CONFERENCE

CARPENTERS AND REPRESENTA-
 TiVES oP BUILDERS ASSoclA TON MEET-BELIEVEc SETTLE
 MENT WILL BE THE OUTCOME.

Representatives of the Carpenters Union now out on a strike and tho Master Builders Association met yesterday morning at 1o:So o'clock for a conference which continued until 1:30 o'clock. Noth- ing definite was done, but 1t is believed results will follow this conference which will end the strike
 The Master Builders representatives submitted a proposition to the effect that eight hours time would be granted and a schedule of wages allowed which would have s5 cents per hour as the maximum and 30 cents per hour as the minimum. The carpenters stated they could make no schedule of wages which paid one worl1men more than another. The whole system of unionism is based on equal wages, claimed the carpenters, and they could not agree to graded wages.
 The conference was adjourned with the understanding that the questions would be discussed by the association and the unions Monday. The carpenters will meet during the day, but they assert no con- sessions will be made. The Master Build CTS will meet Monday night at 8 o'clock in the Turn Verein Hall to discuss the question.
 At the conference the carpenters were represented by R. E. L. Connally, B. An drews, c. s. Mosely, W. T. Hutta and J. P. Ogletree, while the Master Builders were represented by A. J. Krebes, A. Stockmar. T. c. Thompson, l. J. Jeffers and R. K. Edwards.

I further explained that in my con- dition of health, and considering my fre- quent and protracted absences from the city, any serious discussion of my name in this connection was absolutely out of the question.
 I regard MT. Roden as eminently fitted for the position, and would gladly have voted for him at the meeting last night, if in order, and shall vote for him at the coming election if I am then in the city. Respectfully yours,

room per month. The houses are all neat, well painted cottages, of pretty architectural designs, no two of which are exactly alike. The company has built for Its operatives a beautiful church and Sunday school room, free public library building, with 1000 or more volumes a handsome school, which is free, and q bathing pond with a number of bath rooms. Indeed, the operatives have every comfort which they could find in a great city, and everything is free to them
 The healthy children of the operatives are required to attend school, which is in session nine months of the year. Those who insist upon working in the mill are required to attend night school Indeed, education in Alabama City is compulsory. The mill owners will not allow any idle people in the village They provide the best home comforts and ample recreation features but insist upon having none but the industrious. They are paid their wages twice month and allowed to trade where they please. The mill has abolished the old commissary system, and private firm TOW runs the former mill store.'
 In talking with one about Gadsden. MT. w. P. Lay, president of tte Alabama Commercial and Industrial Association. and one of the most progressive and en- thusisstic citizens of this sect;cp, said,
 "Gacsden unta ton years ago, remained in it's ante-bellum state, but since that time it has been pushing ahead very rap. idly. and especially so within the past five years. Knowing the rich natural re- sources surrounding Gadsden, and the rich agricultural country in which it is located, I feel safe in saying and be- lieving that Gadsdens future is exceed ingly bright. We have surrounding us,

of Charles D. Wolcott, director of the geological survey of the United States government. The Little Iron Mountain begins within the corporate limits of Gadsden, runs northeast on the eastern side of Lookout Mountain almost the en- tire distance to Chattanooga. and is an Iron deposit almost its entire length West of Lookout Mountain is a lead of ore which extends from Attalla to Valley Head. while still southwest little fur thcr on Is Greasy Cove iron deposits which probably has never had an equal in Ala aba:na. There is about sixteen miles of this deposit which runs from four to | fifteen feet thick. It assays from 52 to 5S per cent metallic iron. This is an extraor- dinary fine deposit of iron ore, and has never been developed in the slightest
 The western part of our county Is a very extensive and rich coal field, and with an extension of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad from Attalla to One onta through this region. this coal would be brought into close proximity to the iron ore and give Gadsden a much-need- cd fuel supply.
 With all these rich resources sur rounding us, and with our favorable To- cation by natural gifts, Gadsdens great advantages as a manufacturing and trading center Is bound to be felt ma terially sooner or later. It affords very great opportunities for the investment of capital. In fact, capital is all that is necessary to make Gadsden q great city We have all the natural wealth and all that is necessary Is money to develop it.
 There arc lots of clever and progressive people in Gadsden, several of whom Artist Blackman caught today in the natural attitudes which they wear at home

me he is making and shipping 50 gallons of it a day.
 About Gadsden there are many fine fruit farms One peach grower, Mir c. w. Ewing, last year sold s4000 worth of Elberta peaches from his orchard near here. This year he expects to ship at least four times as much. He expects to have 1900 bearing trees this year, and though his orchard is young, he will probably ship from 20 to 30 cars of peaches.
 MT. w. w. Kent, general manager of the Chattanooga Southern Railroad, tells me that the farmers along his line be- tween here and Chattanooga will have over 100000 peach trees bearing this year. They are principally of the Elberta variety, and he expects from 200 to 300 car loads to be shipped this season. Of course they go out in refrigerator cars, principally to the Northern and Western markets. These peaches are principally grown along the mountain sides, which is said to protect the trees from the cold winds. The iron ore in the mountains is said to give the trees health and strength, and to give to the fruit a de- licate flavor and a good color. Those who shipped peaches last year found the business so profitable that something like 3OO 900 new trees have been planted this season.
 The canteloupe business is also profit able in this section. One farmer near Gadsden has planted 260 acres in cante- loupes this year
 Another man making money in the sec tion is w. M. Meeks who is raising a very small strain of Shetland ponies. He raises numbers of them each year, and sells them from $50 to $50 each.
 Perhaps the most important adjunct to | Gadsden is the great Dwight cotton mills, located at what is known as Ala 1 bama City. These mills were constructed l entirely by a New England concern, and about the mill is perhaps the most model city in the South. The mill has 75,0OC spindles and POO looms. It works about 200 operatives, and some 5000 people live in the village about it. There are 32i cottages around the mill, owned by the company and rented to the operatives i and their families on the basis of $l per

LOCATE COLLEGE IN AMERrCus
This City Should Secure Presbyterian
High School.

The citizens of Americas should
unite in an effort to have tie high
school of the Macon Presbytery located
here. Americas is the geographical
centre of the Macon Presbytery, ana
it's healthfulness and desirabllity as a
place of residence will commend it as
the site of the school.
At the fall meeting of the Presby te-
ry of Macon, held in Colum bus, the
following resolution, touching the es-
adjustment of High School within
the bounds of the Presby terry, was
unanimously adopted,
Resolved by the Presbytery of Ma
con- That committee of five be APP
pointed whose duty it will be to look
into the advisabiIitV of establishing a
| school for the education of BOYS and
girls within the bounds of the Presby-
terry and under the control of same.
That this committee be further
authorized and directed to confer with
individuals and committees relative to
any financial support that might be
given for the location of said school in
their respective communities and re
port at the next meeting of Presbytery
at Cuthbert~
| The matter was referred to the fol-
lowing committee: Revs. L G.. Hen
dersoD, Americus; E. D. McDougalI,
Thomasville; r. w. Alexander, Dub
lin; K. L. McIver, Climax, and Fl. G.
| Griswold, Quitman.
The establishment of such a school
contemplates the moral as we'll as the
financial support of the Presbytery, and
it's location would be helpful to any
people.
Should this or any other community
desire its location, it would be we'll TO
correspond with any of the above nam
ed committee at once, as the plan will
begin to assume definite shape April

terry in Cuthbert.
