Huntsville cotton buyers are paying IA

A NEW PLANT is SECURED

Ensley, January 23-lSpecial)-ihe
large steel plant of the Tennessee Coal,
Iron and Railway company will resume
work, it is stated by official authority OH
next Tuesday. The men will report for
duty Monday and will get everything in
order to begin work Tuesday morning.
The plant gives employment to about
25o0 men and is one, of the largest IN
dustries in the state.
During the suspension many repairs
and improvements have been made in diff
ferent departments of the plant. -Four
of the open hearth furnaces were relight-
ed few days ago and the fifth one will
have the fire lighted as soon as the i'm
provements are completed.
1t is understood that the company has
a large number of orders for rails from
several of the southern railroads and
these are to be rushed as rapily as pos
sible.
The mill was closed down on Novem-
Der 10, owing to the sackness of orders
and for the purpose of doing some neces-
sary repairs Notwithstanding that it is
one of the Steel City's largest industries,
not single business house was closed.
The city has such firm financial founda-
ton that it went through the entire sus-
pension without being in any particular
strain.
Most of the employees of the mill are
skilled workmen and owing TO the fact
that a majority of them own their homes
comparatively few left town during the
suspension. Those that did leave have,
with but few exceptions, returned and
will be ready to take their old places when
the plant starts up

New Industry Secured.

The Ensley people are very much eat
ed over the announcement that the ofh-
Gals of the large trolley car plant have
decided to locate in the Steel City. This
industry will give employment to about
1000 men. 1t is also stated that the COM
pany intends doubling the force inside of
the next six months. The site of the new
plant will be on the car line just across
Village creek, between Ensley and Pratt
City, near the place where the Pratt
Ensley ice factory is located.
Mayor Scott, on being seen about the
proposed industry, stated: Il am graft
fed to hear that we are to have this in
dustry. 1t will mean much to Ensley. 1t
will au, something like 5000 people to our
town"
Alderman Sherman, superintendent of
the emet-Solvay plant, on being asked
for his opinion in regard to the car plant,
said: THE people of Ensley are elated.

Happy expressions were heard on all
sides when the news that the contract for
the plant had been closed, was spread
over the city.

CLASH FEARED AT VIRGINIA

Bessemer. January 23-(Special.) News
has reached this city that the storm that
passed through this part of the county
yesterday morning did considerable dam
age near Sumpter, mining town on the
Mineral railroad, about six miles from
this city. Several houses were demolish-
cd and number of the mines were COM
PEELED to close from damages received
by the winds. Several negroes were in
jured.
The storm struck sumpter, doing consid-
cradle damage to some of the machinery,
that it will require two months to re-
build and repair.
The people of Johns and Sumpter re-
sponded to the call for aid from Mound-
vile. The doctors of these towns went
to the scene and did all in their power
to alleviate the suffering.
More Trouble at Virginia.
1t is stated that some more trouble is
brewing at Virginia mines. Guards have
been placed at the mines with instruc-
lions to keep a close watch on all the
companys property. 1t is reported that
the negro miners have been greatly terror
ize,. by being shot at on various occa-
sions. While 1t is thought that those
firing at the negroes are not seeking to
do them bodily injury, yet the affect
is very demoralizing and it is feared that
if it is continued all the negroes will
be frightened away.
The Virginia mines are owned by the
Alabama Steel and Wire company. The
trouble was started several months ago
by the United Mine Workers going out
on a strike and by the company filling
their places with non-union miners.
City Court Busy.
The Bessemer city court has been busy
all the week. 1t has disposed of a number
of cases during the last week and has
many more docketed for next week. Yes
terday both of the petit juries of the

this morning while the other failed to
