Hattie Ensley Furnace.

The Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Com- pany announces that the Hattie Ensley furnace at Sheffield. now being repaired, will be ready to go into blast by the 1st of October, and no time will be lost in placing it in commission. This will make all seven furnaces of this company in operation. Vice-President J. w. Nc Queen stated today that the company proposed keeping up it's iron production, not being a "quitter" at any time. The sales of this company. so it is reported, amount to about 1000 tons a day. In- quiry among the iron manufacturers in this district elicits the information that there is hope that the railroads will re- scind their declination in granting a re- duction in freight rates and that before forty days the reduction of 50 cents on the ton will be made.

That Nullifed Amendment.
Springfield Republican.

EpTInB1bIu
 The recent effort of a New York newspaper to smoke out' leading Northern Democrats on the question of the political rights of the ne groes had an amusing result From New Eng land to Nebraska, the silence of the leaders was appalling. The paper received answers tc it's questions from just two men-Grover Cleve. land and Edward M. Shepard. and Mr. Cleve- land somewhat curtly declined to be catechised during the fishing season. In view of this con. duct we are thrown back upon MT. Cleveland pithy and somewhat sarcastic remark at Car. negie Hall that the days of Uncle Tom, Cabin are past" As for MT Shepard hi, views may be summed up in the words, Let us do nothing"

Negro Killed at A Dance.

The music and mirth and usual at tendant revelry of a negro dance was broken up last night by a pistol shot fired within the doorway leading into the hall of the society of Queen Esther located in the vicinity of the brick yard off Hardy street. When the smoke lifted prone on the ground by the corner of the building lay Goldman Shields, grave yard dead' as negro eyewitness put 1t. His slayer was Jesse Robertson an- other negro of his own age. While the dance was at its height Shields and Rob- ertson were standing in the door engaged in a quarrel. What the dispute was about nobody seems to know Suddenly Shields was heard to remark If you have any shooting irons, you better get them and then came the shot from Robertson S pistol.
 The bullet struck in the centre of the chest of the negro and death was prac- tically instantaneous. The authorities were soon at the scene but the murderer had made good his escape. Shields. the negro who was killed, had returned from serving term in the coal mines only a few days ago.

Will Break Up Wife Beating.

Mayor Atkins has been troubled no lit. tie by cases of wife-beating being brought before him. Smarting under the blows from their husbands, negro women frequently call on an officer to arrest theil better halves. They swear out the war. rant and then when the man is arraigned in court the woman refuses utterly tc make out a case against him, having been persuaded that her lawful spouse will do better next time. The Mayor had such a case before him this morning and he forthwith ordered the warrant changed tc disorderly conduct and assessed a fine o1 $5 against both husband and wife. He de- clares that hereafter this will be the coourse he will pursue.

CROP HAS DEPRECATED.
Drought Has Cut Of the Cotton Yield
 in Shelby.

Montevallo. Sept. S.-(Special. .)-The Montevallo Sentinel has received a report from every beat in the county relative to the crop conditions, and with the excep- ton of corn the report is not very flat tering. Up to ten days ago the prospect for good cotton crop was very fiattering but the drought of the past few days, and the extreme hot weather has in- jured the crop at least 50 per cent. if not more. The rains of a few weeks ago made the plants grow very rapidly and the stalks were very tender when the scorching sun began its work a few days ago, and in many places the stalk has become thoroughly dried. No worms are reported in the county.
 One correspondent writes: ''The corn is the best we have had in twenty years, and the early planting is now made"
 The hay crop and the sorghum and rib bon cane is in good condition. A great many potatoes have been raised, and they are hardy and excellent.

Roosevelt "Cussed' carmack.

Washington, March 3.-President
Roosevelt in talking with q delegation
OF Tennesseeans who called on him
took occasion to declare he would see
Senator Oarmack sin hell" before he
would give him any patronage,
He subsequently, modified the decla.
ration b~y.sayiug he presumed he should
have used the word ''hades" instesd
of "hell."
This declaration was entirely gratn-
itous on the part Of the President.
Senator Carmaok has asked him eol
no patronage. he has consistently
kept away from the white xhouse.
Some Of his criticism Of the admins.
~tration and Of the president have been
60 severe, that. tho president feels deep
resentment toward him.
The way the Presidents remark
happened to be made was this:
A delegation Of Tennesseeans went
TO the white house in behalf of Dir.
Morgan, Of that State, who aspires to
be upon the canal commission. Pres
ident Roosevelt listened to what these
gentlemen had to say in behalf Of Mr..
Morgan, and then said Re would be
glad to consider their wishes.
"But," he went on 20 say, ''there
is one member Of your delegation
whom I would see in hell before I
would give him any patronage"
That Tennesseean, he made clear,
was the senator who loses no oppor-
tunity to criticise the action Of the
President and his party. Senator
Carmack would not discuss the episode
today, further than to say that gem
tlemen in the party had reported to
him what had occurred. &
"It was an entirely uncalled fordec-
laration .on the presidents part said
Senator Carmack.
.'Sinoe I have asked him for nothing
and do not intend to ever ask any
thing at his hands. l had 80 expressed
myself to. my friend, Mr.. Morgan, ba-
fore the party went to the white house
in his behalf. have not asked any
thing from the President, nor would
I, and do not care to criticise any
statement he may have made. Lind
sufficient opportunity and sufficient
occasion to do that in the senate"
