MINE MOTOR CARS
 PROVE A SUCCESS
MEN ARE PLEASED WITH THE AR ENRICHMENT, AS IT GETS THE COAL OUT oUlckLY-oTHER NEWS.

Pratt City. October 15.-(special)-Th in No. mine of the Tennessee company have stood the test, and are proving success in every sense of the word. When the cars were first placed there were some difficulties with which to contend This being the first and only system in the south. the miners were naturally slow in becoming accustomed to them. and when one or two mules and a man were killed the opinion against the cars grew among the miners, but now that they have adjusted themselves to the new sys- tenn all the miners are pleased with 1t, as it pulls out their coal with so much less expense. This will eventually give them more for their labors. Here are some com parisons between the old and new sys- tens: Under the old system 900 tons of coal a day was the largest amount hauled up, whereas under the new the amount goes over 15oO tons. Under the old system it required fifteen chainmen to run the haulage system, while under the new it only requires two chainmen. Under the old system thirty-six mules were used; under the new only fourteen are used.
 Six trips an hour are made with the motor cars, and thirty-four tons are hauled up at each trip. It only requires one motorman and two brakemen to run a set of cars The power that runs the system is furnished by two dynamos, each with a capacity of 15O horsepower. J. M. Franklin, the installer of the system, says that the dangers incurred in the op- eration of the motor car was not any more than those incurred in the operation of trolley cars.
 It is true that the trolley wires are necessarily placed where it is easy for the miners to come in contact with them as the tunnel in the mines are low and should anyone in going through rise up so as to come in touch with the live wires the results would be fatal
 Wonderful power of endurance was demonstrated by George Brodey, a six teen-year-old miner at No. 3 mine, this morning who laid in the office of the bank boss for an hour with blood issuing from his mouth nostrils and ears, as a result of injuries that he had received in the mines by a considerable amount of coal falling on him. Although it was apparent that his wounds were painful yet not a word of anguish escaped his lips. He was carried to his home in Pratt City in an ambulance, and the doctors say, al- though his injuries are serious yet there are some hopes of his getting we'll.

Engineer and Brakeman Injured In
 Wreck on Southern.

Selma, October 15-(Special)-On mile south of Gastonburg. on the Southern rail- way Mobile division, Tuesday night an engine of the work train ran into a lever car in a small cut and the engineer and front brakeman received injuries which. while not serious. will lay them up for several weeks
 The work train had been left in the sid ing at Catherine, and the engine was en route to Alberta to get water. The lever car was manned by the section foreman and eight or ten section hands. The lat ter all deserted the car as the engine ap- preached except one, a deaf and dumb fellow. This negro, with the section fore man. made valiant effort to get the car off the track but failed.
 The tender of the engine left the track and buried itself into a sandbank Brake man Charles Adams was on the rear of the tender and was thrown up on the embankment, injuring his leg very badly. Engineer T. l.. Day was caught by his lever and his back wrenched. Both injured men were brought to their homes in Sell ma on the passenger train due at o'clock this morning, but which was de- layed on account of the wreck until { a. m.
 Two young men, Bascom Clontz and Frank Pitts, got into quarrel last nighg at their boarding house and Clontz shot Pitts, inflcting flesh wound The young men started in guying each other and finally became engaged in quarrel.
 Today at noon was the time for the opening of bids for the city ponds, the proceeds from which are to be used in erecting Selmas $25,0OO city building, There was only one bid that of R. P. Manly. No more were expected, as the ad- vertisement had been made for the sec ond time owing to claim made by the attorneys of the parties. who are to take the bonds from Mir. Manly, the contractor. that the first advertisement was not in strict accordance with the law authoriz- ing the issue of the bonds. The bid is at par, the bonds bearing per cent interest.
 Word reached the city today of killing that occurred night before last on the Bell place in Fences precinct, this county, Nora Morgan, negro man, was the vic- tim, having been shot with a double bar reled shotgun by link Smith, another negro. Smith had warned Morgan to stay away from his house, the supposition be- ing that Morgan was paying court to Smiths wife. Tuesday night Morgan came up to the house and Smith killed him and then made his escape.

Peace Now Reiens at the Turbulent
 Virginia Mines.

Bessemer October 15.-(Special )-Peace seems to reign at Virginia mines today. The union forces claim that they have won the fight, as many of the non-union miners are quitting the company and joining in the strike. The thing that brought about this change of conditions in favor of the United Mine Workers, it is said, were the injunction proceedings entered against the miners The non- union forces and the company seemed to have a decided advantage and the way matters were tending last week showed plainly that it would only be a matter of time before the strikers would have to give in, but the union men say the injunction proceedings looked too much like trampllng on the liberties that are all mems by right of inheritance.
 Deputy Sheriff Fountain, however, has not relaxed his vigil, but has placed guards on watch and has taken every precaution to prevent any outbreak.
