ALEX ROBINSON
 WILL BE HANGED
CONVICTED OF THE MURDER OF A NEGRO WOMAN AT HONEY CUT CAMP NEAR TRUSSVILLE ABOUT A MONTH AGO.

Alex Robinson was given the death sen- tence in the criminal court late yesterday afternoon. He is the negro who was charged with the killing of Mag Hayden at Honeycut camp near Trussville about month ago The evidence seemed to show that the killing was unusually atro- cious as the negro woman was shot in the back while she was running from the defendant.
 There was a great deal of contradictory testimony as no two witnesses told ex- actly the same account of the affair The defendant maintained that he shot the woman in defending himself while other negroes who went on the stand stated that Robinson was running after her when he fired the fatal shot. At the time of the killing Clarence Hale was walking along with the woman and in addition to him there were many other negroes in the camp, beIng Sunday af- | ternoon.
 The jury was out some little time, the verdict being handed to Deputy Clerk Col lins at 6:2O o'clock.
 The defendant in the case was repre- scented by H. N. Morshheimer and R. D. Hobbs, and motion for new trial will be made this morning The prosecution was conducted by Assistant Solicitor Win ston and R. T. Shugart.

PRIMARY PLAN
 WILL GO THROUGH Seems 10 Be No Inclination to
 Change It COMMITTEE MEETS TODAY Blank Places Will Be Left on Ticket So That the Names of Precinct Candidates Can Be Writ
 ten Thereon.
COMMITTEE MEETS TODAY

The Jefferson county democratic exec utlve committee will meet this morning in the criminal court room at the court house at Il o'clock.
 The meeting was called some time ago by Chairman B. A Thompson and the chief matter to come up is the fixing a date for the primary to be held in the county next year.
 Nearly all of the members of the com- mittee have either written or sent word that they would be present so that 1t is expected that today's meeting will be one of the best attended that has ever been held in the county.
 A resolution will be introduced by a member of the committee to the effect that the primary be held on Monday, March 14 1904. Many of the committee men have expressed themselves as favor ing this date and many more have said that they were in favor of having the primary some time during the month of March. For this reason 1t Is felt that the resolution will be carried with little if any modification.
 This same resolution also provides for the announcement by the committee of the officers to be elected for the county.
 When the substance of this resolution was published there was some adverse comments on 1t because 1t did not provide for putting the names of such candidates on the ballot as the judges of the inferior court of Birmingham, the judge of the Bessemer city court and others.
 Those who favor the resolution argue that those candidates are running for pre- cinct offices and that it would be impossi- ble to place the names of all precinct candidates on the official ballots as there are forty-seven precincts in the county. Blank spaces will be left on the ballot so that the names of the precinct officers can be written out.
 Since the resolution has been pretty thoroughly threshed over and scarcely any suggestion made that would be an improvement on it's provisions it is the general sentiment that there will be prac- tically no opposition to its passage this morning.
 The meeting will of course be public and it is expected that there will be large attendance outside of the commlt- teemen themselves.

IRON PRICES ARE
 DECIDEDLY BETTER
NO. 2 FOUNDRY IS HELD FIRMLY AT ss.5o CASH, AND 5000 IRON IS NOW HOPED FoR-MoRE AcTlV- ITYIN NORTHERN IRON.

Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati cir cular of yesterday says:
 The low prices made by certain of the leading southern pig iron producers last week brought to them a small avalanche of orders and induced them to close the door on s900 iron. During this week the lowest price so far as can be learned Is s9.25 and the majority of the companies are holding at $95O cash, Birmingham for No. foundry.
 It is known that quite number of con- sumers did not cover their prospective wants at $9.00, and it now remains to be seen whether the buying movement will continue at the higher range of values or not. Current prices are still below \ cost for most southern furnaces and are certainly not unreasonable It will be remembered that during the slump of three years ago the lowest price on No ? foundry was s1O.00 at the worst of the depression, and the cost of iron is higher now than then. No consumer could ob- ject if the present reaction should carry the price to 5000.
 There has been a little more activity in northern iron, but prices are consider ably below cost and the producers are not anxious to load up with business at these figures.
 A better demand is looked for early next year. when wage scales have been pro- perly readjusted.

CANNOT FIND THE VICTIM.
Two Negroes Rob a Man and Then
 Pursue the Only Witness.

On a charge of highway robbery and also another charge of attempt to commit highway robbery, John Parchman and Will Williams, two negroes were yester- day bound over to the criminal court by Judge Feagin. The bonds of the negroes amount to $500 each, and in default of them they were carried to the county jail to await trial.
 The case Is rather peculiar. On Thars- day afternoon these two negroes, accord ing to the testimony in the case, held up and robbed a negro man near Sixth ave- nue and Sixteenth street. Several people witnessed the robbery, but it has never been possible to find the man who was robbed.
 Among the witnesses was Peter Carter, a negro. The two highwaymen saw him standing near and started towards him, evidently with the purpose of robbing him Carter ran several blocks and the two negroes pursued him. Finally he sought refuge in the residence of Mir. Wellman on Sixth avenue between Sev- enteenth and Eighteenth streets. Police men Richardson and Mcknight were sent out to catch the negroes and succeeded. Both of them have been identified

 From what has been found out about the negro there was not a worse criminal in the state, and the police departments of the various cities seem glad that he is forever out of the way. Chief Wier has received the following letter from Chief Gerald of Montgomery where the negro lived:
