Alabama'S coal production is quite
healthy Notwithstanding the suspen-
sion of work on the part of the United
Mine Workers of America. There are
many mines in active operation in this
State, commercial coal mines with
union labor under temporary contracts,
non-union labor mines and convict la
Dor mines. The total production for
the year will be greater than waS the
output in 1903, no matter how long the
union mine workers remain idle. The
production is finding u ready sale and
but small portion of that now being
mined being used by the furnace com
panies at their furnaces. Considerable
coal and coke is being imported into
Alabama right now from West Vir-
ginia to be used in the furnaces on ac-
count of the suspension here among the
union miners. Non-union coal mines
are increasing their outputs almost
daily. Car load after car load of coal
is being shipped every day to New Or
leans and other Southern points while
considerable coal is going from this
State to Louisville. There IS much un-
developed coal land in this State. Du-
ring the past week three large coal
companies were opened and in two
cases virgin coal fields are to be work
ed. The Yolando Coal Company. CAPT
tai stock 100000, is one, their prop
critics being located in Tuscaloosa
County. The Crescent Coal Company,
capital stock 100000 is the other. their
properties being located in the north
ern part of Jefferson County. while the
Townley Mining Company is the third,
capital stock 100000 with G, B. NJ
Cormack President, and properties To-
Gated in Walker County. The state
ment is made by all three Of these con-
Germs that there will be immediate de-
yelopment on a large scale and that
within the next six months each com
pany will have daily output of not
less than 500 to 1000 tons of coal.
Coal quotations are fairly good, not
withstanding Il little slack in business
throughout the South except in cotton
districts.

Alabama's Iron Market.

There is improvement in Alabama's
iron market conditions and the iron
manufacturers in the Birmingham dis
trict feel the same. Pig iron QUOTA
lions are firm even at the new price
established less than n week ago. $3.50
per ton for No. 2 foundry. There is a
steady inquiry for the product and the
production in this State Is holding UP
well. The Sloss Sheffield Steel and
Iron Company has sold more iron al
ready this month than will be made by
them. Last month this company sold
$4,000 tons more than they produced
The Lacey Buck Iron Company, with
one stack in steady operation has sold
iron ahead right along. The 80 so per
ton rate for No. 2 foundry, is being
maintained firmly and there are indica-
lions that before the middle of next
month there will be another advance of
so cents at least. The stock of iron
on the furnace yards in the Birming-
ham district is being worked off slow
ly but surely. 1t is believed that by
the end of the year the surplus iron
hereabouts will not amount to much.
Four or five months ago there were
over 10000 tons of iron In the Yards
hereabouts. The production will be
helped out some this week when the
Woodward Iron Company's two fur
naces resume operation.
Announcement Is made that the fur
mace of the Lookout Mountain Iron
Company at Battelle. on the Alabama
Great Southern Railroad between Biz
mingham and Chattanooga, Is about
completed and August Is 1t will be put
into operation. This furnace is one of
the most modern furnaces in the State,
being equipped with the latest devices
for saving fuel raw material and la
Dor. The new furnace of the Wood
ward Iron Company is being worked on
steadily and should be ready for op-
Grafton within the next ninety dnvs

excitement in Harriso nburg.

Capt. Warren S. Lurty and Charles
Myers, negro drayman, who is known
as Pompey caused considerable eI-
citement in Harrisonburg last Friday.
Captain Lurty wanted the drayman to
take some eggs to another part of the
town, but objected to paying the negro
10 cents for the job, remarking, it is
alleged, that he could ''buy such a mig
ger as you for 10 cents" The negro
refused to undertake the job for less, and
his manner seemed to annoy the captain
so much, it is said, that he drew
knife and chased the negro around a
pile of bricks until he found he could
not catch him and then tried to knock
him down with stone. He failed in
this. although the rock hit the boy in
the back and caused him to face around
Just in time to dodge brickbat. He
then closed with tie captain for a
moment, but, breaking away again, ran
out of his reach.
Captain Lurty was more incensed
than ever, so he went to hardware store,
where he purchased big blue revolver.
The salesman, who had been apprissd OF
the situation dropped the cartridges
back in the box from which he had
taken them. Captain Lurty put the
empty pistol in his pocket and left the
store.
The captain soon found Pompey on
his dray drawing the gun which he sup
posed the clerk in the store had loaded,
ordered the boy out ofthe vehicle. Myers
was not long getting out. He then de-
manded an apology from the negro, which
was quickly forthcoming and oft repeat
ed, after which he ordered him to resume
his seat on the dray.
The boy, with his eyes fastened on the
gun, was inclined to retreat and protest
ed that he did not want to climb back on
the dray. At this the captain lost his
temper and, it is said, snapped the pis-
tol in the negroes face, who stood but
few feet away. The empty weapon
failed to do any harm, and twice more

ing that loaded chamber might at last
be reached called out to the negro,
"Knock him?'
On this advice the boy acted promptly
and striking the captain blow in the
face he knocked him to the ground, after
which he followed MS advantage with a
kick. BY this lime bystanders. interfered,
Captain Lurty was assisted to his feet,
his pistol was taken from him and he re-
tired to his home.
He appeared on the street later in the
day armed with rifle, which was prompt
ly taken into possession by Howard
Whitmore. He made his appearance ap-
pearance another time carrying hand
some double-barrel shotgun. This fell in
to the hands of James n. Page. His ap-
proach was in each instance comm unicat-
ed to the colored boy, who pro mPtly
made it his business to get off the street.
