 The shooting at Warner Mines on yesterday, when a non union man was shot at by some unknown person from a lodge room in the second story of building on the main street, will prob" ablv keep the companies from dis charging their deputies. who have been on duty for several weeks.
 It is understood that the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad Company will in the next few days put some deputies hack to work at their camps. 1t is an- nounced that the Republic Iron and steel Company will likely blow out one of their Thomas furnaces in the next dav or two on account of the supply of coal not being up to their liking. This comuany has two furnaces in operation in addition to a large number of coke ovens and the big Birmingham rolling mills. Sixteen car loads of coal per day are consumed at the rolling mills.
 The Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron Company is the only furnace com pany in the Birmingham district work ing union miners under contract. Presi- dent Ed. Flynn, of the miners organi- zation, asserts that the organization Is in a position to keep up the strike for an indefinite time.

 The report Is a very explicit docu- ment. brief and to the point. There were I33 cases brought to the attention of the jury indictments in 75 of which were returned. Embodied in the report was this clause:
 Owing to the numerous reports or wholesale violations of the law in the county. which, if true, would be detri- mental to the county, we called before us A number of persons alleged to be authors of such reports, and supposed to be able to furnish us the informa- ton, but the parties summoned knew nothing of the alleged violations. and we are constrained to believe the state of morals in our county Is not as bad as some reports current would indicate, but that the great body of our people not only observe and respect the law, but willingly assist in the enforcement of same"
 The books of all the county officials were examined and reported to be neat lv and accurately kept, special mention being made in the report of the correct accounts and books of the county treas- urer. whose books showed on hand Feb ruary 1, 1904. $5.ss9.64, since which time s14,ss1. .92 was received. the dis bursements amounting to Si5,449 IS, leaving a balance in the treasury Octo- Der ist of t5.So1. .4s.

 A trade paper correspondent in this city asserts that he has information that Southern furnacemen will shortly hold back their frog looking to $12 per ton for No. 2. foundry. that grade now selling firmly at $10 with sto.5o being asked for by the manufacturers. He states that he has already heard of a demand for $11 per ton for No. foun- that his information is that the sales already made for delivery after the first of January do not aggregate a very large tonnage.

sams Political Talk.

Reports which are being received here from the Seventh district indicate that while @ strong fight is being made against him, Congressman John L. Burnett, Democrat, will be reelected to Congress by a safe majority.
 During the past week Editor Rosson, of The Cullman Democrat, was in Bir- mingham and he stated that from his information the situation looks safe for Congressman Burnett. It Is learned that many Republicans in that district, and there are no few of them, will not vote for T. w. Powell, the Populite-Re- publican candidate making the cam paign in that district against Burnett.
 The Republican State Campaign Com mittee is rendering assistance in the Seventh district as also in the Fifth, where Captain Walker is opposing Con- gresham J. Thomas Heflin. The Re- publicans are sending out under con gressional franks of Hon. Chauncey De- pew and Hon. J. H. Gallinger, the one a member of the Senate and the other of the House, extracts of speeches printed in The Congressional Record of several months back. These ex- tracts are political speeches delivered in Congress. and the 25.O00 copies to be distributed in this State. the Republican campaign managers believe, will do
 
 There is no doubt that the word has been received here by the Republican campaign managers that no efforts must be spared to break the solid dele gation from Alabama to the National Congress. However. information which comes to this point from all the dis triots Is that there will be no break.
 Congressman Oscar w. Underwood, in the Ninth district. who Is opposed by Prof. J. T, Blakemore, a Republican elector and who is doing the most of the stump work in hls party, Is not giving his opponent much attention. He will help out the Democratic county ticket in one or two counties in the district where Republicans and Populites have a little following.
 It Is understood that Prof Blake more is to be rewarded for his ardent work in behalf of the Republican tick cts with good paying Federal office in case President Roosevelt is elected.

Inspectors and lCerIxs.

At the special meeting of the County Commissioners Friday night the full list of inspectors and clerks to serve in the general election next month, was chosen, but this morning one of the inspectors states that he cannot serve for various reasons. one of which, by 8 card in a paper, Is that he cannot per- suade himself to become a perjurer. Just in what respect he is to become a perjurer is not clear to the general public, but he is a gentleman who usu- ally speaks out his views, and there are various persons in the city who are guessing at his meaning.
 At the meeting of the commissioners there was an interesting fight between the regular" and Irregular" factions of the Republican Party in this city. One faction, the "bolters," as they are termed, met and nominated a county ticket, and went before the board with petition that these names, having been chosen regularly, be placed upon the ticket for consideration of the vot- CTS next month, A representative of the regular Republican organization appeared and protested strongly against the commissioners giving any recognition at all to the ticket as named by the opposing faction, and then there was trouble
 Personalities were engaged in for a time. one representative informing the commissioners that his friend on the opposite side or the latter's followers could not be elected "dog-catcher." and this was answered hotly.
 The list was chosen and a special meeting was arranged for which will provide for the printing of the tickets, setting booths and making general preparations for the election next month.

 Congressman AdamsOn Is very hope full over the outlook for the Democratic party this fall. He says that under normal conditions the Democrats are in the majority in this country, and that Republican successes have been due solely to divisions among the party. This year the different clements are thoroughly united and enthusiastic. Asked by The Advertisers correspond- ent what he thought of Democratic chances in Indiana, Judge Adamson said:
 rom Taggart has promised us that State. and Tom Taggart usually knows what he's talking about. As for Illtn- ois, Carter Harrison says we'll win that State. If his prediction that we will receive the German vote is true, then we will win in that State, for the Ger man vote Is @ power in Illinois"
