Want Reduced Rates.

Alabama iron manufacturers have ad- dressed strong letters to the traffic man agers of railroads throughout this section for an immediate reduction of 50 cents on the ton in freight rates. The nianu- lecturers request the railroads to come to their assistance to enable successful competition with the iron manufacturers in Pennsylvania, Ohio and elsewhere. 1t is set forth that the present freight rate is 50 cents above what prevailed before the advance in iron prices above SIP per ton went into effect. If the railroads grant the 50 cents per ton reduction in freight rates the furnacemen of this sec ton do not hesitate to say that the ac- cumulated stocks of iron hereabouts will be moved out in very short order.

Thompson was i'll at his home in Talladega and the Committee returned home until the ref cree is out again.
 It seems Attalla and Alabama City have been for some time regular postoffice sta tions of considerable size. but because of their nearness to Gadsden, both being within five miles. a movement has been put on foot to make them sub-stations of Gadsden. The people of that city are in favor of the proposed change, but the in habitants of Attalla and Alabama City in sist the mail should not be carried through their towns to Gadsden causing q delay of several hours before distribu- ton. Considerable interest is aroused in the affair.
