 'The question Is asked" says Mfr. Gay, If Dowie Is a good man. where did he get his money? He plotted ten square miles of ground with a com pany of stockholders who furnished the money, put up factories and incorpor- ated according to the laws of Illinois. He gets 5 per cent. and the company or church 95 Der cent. This has made him more than a millionaire"
 MT. Gay has been in Zion City nearly year now, having left Montgomery to go there.

 Marion people are enthusiastic over the projected railroad from Birming- ham to Mobile which is to touch the Queen City of the Black Belt and Marion will do it's full duty by the pro- motion of it. We are also interested in securing cotton factory for Marion.

Old Incident Recalled.

q have been reminded of war time story" said an old soldier. by some thing that has happened in the last few days. On one occasion a good woman, soon after one of the great battles In Virginia, came In to a hospital where there were many wounded soldiers. She wanted to do all the good she could and distributed tracts and leaflets to give the boys something to read. After she had left the bed of one of the wounded, he looked at the title of the paper left with him and laughed out so loudly as to attract her attention. She turned and asked him what had caused his merry mood.
 He said, well madam if you had known that both of my legs have been shot off, you would hardly have left reading matter with me to prove The Sin of Dancing..'
 The good woman had to smile. Now for the moral of my story. I am in receipt from my attentive Congress- man of some packages of garden seed, but I am satisfied if he had known that hadn't an inch of ground in which to plant them he would not have sent them to me. I appreciate his remem brance of me, but 1t is as much labor lost as giving no legged men tracts against dancing"

 These stock people, I believe, would be very glad to see fair in Alabama as 1t would give them an opportunity to exhibit their cattle.

THE IRON TRADE
Conditions Seem to Favor outside
FORCES and Mills.

New York. Aug. 1s.-Considering the
fact that the 'tgentlemen's agreement" in
the steel trade has long possessed a shad-
owy value. says the Iron Age, the effect
upon sentiment of the recent occurrences
has been rather surprising. Certain de-
mands have been made upon the Repub-
lie company in connection with the con-
version contract and have been fatty re-
fused, and there the matter rests. So
far as the great mass of the tonnage
Of finished steel is concerned the situ-
alton is not at all changed, whether bill
lets are selling at s23 or at $40. TIE
great companies which make finished
products going back to the ore are not
afraid at all. The large consumers of
steel either have their conversion con-
tracts or their sliding scale contracts
based on pigiron, which has declined from
natura! causes. Under these sliding scale
contracts they have been getting their
steel at close to SO for some time past.
1t is only a limited number of small out
side FORCES and rolling mills that have
been held under the agreement, and with
wide-open market for steel they will
simply be placed in a somewhat better
position to fight for a modest share in
the finished lines. In market like the
present this may have some influence

MINNEAPOLIS Chamber of Commerce,
Aug 1S-This morning brought wheat
market showing more res1l1ency and recu-
perative power than anything seen mere IN
many a day. Yesterday wheat advanced
an even SC, largely on fear OF damage
by frost This morning there was no
frost. That a big break would follow was
to be expected, indeed 1t was too much TO
suppose that the market could hold. Hence
there was liQuida ton on an enormous
scale and September was down TO SllO9s.
Nothing could keep it down, however. AS
soon as the selling ceased and little new
buying started a quick squirt followed ana
September touched S1.13&. Just short or

again. The bulk of the early business was
on a lower range, nevertheless the trend
was still upward and it was impossible
