Meeting of Iron Men.

The proposition to form an association among the Southern iron manufacturers is still under discussion. two of the ~'ans looking to that result having been sub mitted.

 The subcommittee appointed at the meeting yesterday afternoon is said to have met this morning at 10 o'clock to discuss the two plans talked about in the meeting yesterday and to arrange a gem eral plan looking to an association. Very little information Is offered as to the dis cussions. There are reasons for thls ob- jection to publicity, but there Is so much interest being taken in the possible flnal outcome that all facts cannot be with held.
 The opposition to an association is said to be quite determined. and in quarters where objection to the proposed amend ment are held. the opinion Is still ex- pressed that an association is not the best thing for the district.

great surprise has been sprung on foreign corporations doing business in this State. and this will catch almost all of the industrial corporations in this dis trict. It appears that an amendment was adopted by the last Legislature to better prvoide for the revenue of the State. and was approved March 4, 1903, which, will tax almost all of the corpora tions in this district. Section 3, relating to tax of foreign corporations, in part Is as follows
 Every foreign corporation, except rail- road. telegraph. long distance telephone, express and sleeping car, life and fire in- surance companies, building and loan as- sociations, banks or banking associations. authorised to do business under the gen. eral law, shall pay to the Judge of Pro- bate of the county in which 1t has resi- dent agent. a license fee of one-tenth of one percentum for the use of the State, and of one-half that sum for the use of the county, for the privilege of exercising It's corporate franchises or for carrying on its corporate business in such corpor- ate or organized capacity in this State, to be computed upon the basis of the ac- tual amount of capital employed by 1t within this State. The tax hereby impos- ed shall be due and payable on the first day of January of each year by every such foreign corporation then doing busi- ness in this State, to be computed upon the basis of the amount of capital &C., tually employed by it within the State during the year preceding such date"

ARRESTS ARE EXPECTED.
Sealed Verdict Returned by CoTouer's
 Jury.


 Birmingham. Dec. 29.-A coroner's jury composed of some of the leading citizens of Pineapple, after making a thorough in- vestigation into the lynching of a negro December 26, which was followed by a fire which destroyed half the town. has delivered a sealed verdict into the hands of the coroner, and several arrests are expected.
 On account of the verdict being sealed. it is believed that certain well known persons are implicated, and the findings will not be given out until arrests are made.
 Judge MoorA of the Fourth Circuit has been officially notified of the affair. and it is expected will take. prompt action. In all probability, special term of court will be ordered to investigate the crimes. This is the second lynching in Alabama during the present year. and Governor Jelks is determined to probe the matter to the bottom.
