 Gadsden, Nov. 3.-(Staff Correspond ence. .)---"within radius of twenty-five miles of Gadsden there are more ores, more minerals used in the making of iron and steel than there are within radius of twenty-five miles of Birm- ingham. If a circle Is drawn with Gadsden as its center and with a ra- dius of twenty-five miles, 1t will con- tain more mineral wealth than a sim liar circle with Birmingham as its center.
 T might go further and quote you the report made by a prominent en- gineer who was employed by the Messrs. Shulers to investigate the min eral wealth of the Gadsden district when they were contemplating locat- ing here. He reported that adjacent to Gadsden there were ten times more mineral wealth than was found adja- cent to Birmingham. That was the re- port of a cool. level-headed expert, not the utterances of a dreamer.
 "On such is this Is Gadsden,s present prosperity built and on this will be built Its future greatness"
 The speaker was Reuben A. Mitchell, agent for the Dwight Milling Com pany for its immense Alabama prop erty. member of the State Executive Committee, sometime Mayor of Gads- den and well known throughout the State.
 We stood upon the tar and gravel roof of the four story cotton mill of the Dwight Milling Company at Ala bama City. To the front of us were the two great mills and the furnace of the Alabama Steel and Wire Company which has already invested an enorm- ous sum and which, 1t Is said, will spend $1,0O0,000 To our right was the thriving, bustling towns of Attalla, the smoke of it's furnaces curling slowly in the morning air To our left the upper air was dark with the smoky clouds that rose from Gadsden's half a hundred industries-furnaces mills and factories. The town itself was hidden in an autumnal bower of yellow and red leaved trees. Before us and behind us were mountain ridges, with buff and scarlet colorings. And in these mountain sides there were half a dozen of brown openings where men were burrowing and digging for iron ore. The fertile valley between was level, prosperous and inviting. We had gone on the roof that he might show all this to an enquiring visitor.
 These Gadsden people are convincing optimists. They are earnest, persuas- i've takers when the subject Is Gads- den and its future. True eloquence, it is said. springs only from earnestness and sincerity. Your Gadsden man. with Gadsden as his subject, never falls short of true eloquence.

WILSON TO THE RESCUE

Chicago, Nov. 3.-Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture, in an address at a mass metting conduc- ted by the Scandinavian Clubs of Chi cago at the Auditorium Theatre. to- night accused Judge Parker. the Dem ocratic nominee of making misstate- ments in his recent speeches in the East
 Secretary Wilson spoke as follows
 Judge Parker says the President appointed his private secretary to the new department of commerce and la- bor. so that he might obtain corpora- ton secrets and then had him appoint ed chairman of the national Republi- can committee so that CorteIyou might blackmail the corporations for cam paign purposes.
 was suggested by the national board of trade and urged by the business men generally throughout the coun- try long before the law creating it had been passed It was President Mckinley who first recommended 1t to congress and 1t was he who selected MT. Cortelyou as it's first secretary, so that through him the President could direct its organization.
 President Mckinley died at the hand of an assassin and when President
 
 promised to carry out the Mckinley policies. He has done so. and this among others.
 "rhe work of the department of commerce and labor had been only well begun when the President, desiring 0 clean campaign, favored the appoint. ment of MT. Cortelyou as national chairman and after the national com mittee had appointed him, removed him entirely from the department of com merce and labor and appointed Mir ,. Metcalf secretary of that department in his place. Cortelyou does not col lect, handle nor dlsburse campaign funds. Mr. Bliss does that end and Parker dare not attack Bliss in New York.
 Parker Is ignorant of these facts He attacks in a blundering manner, Mckinley, Roosevelt and Cortelyou just as he misstated the facts about the affairs of the Philippines hoping to reach the White House through the most remarkable attacks on men of honor and honesty ever witnessed by the American people. This is the first time in our history that candidate for the presidency has set his head, shut his eyes, doubled his fists and run amucS against the innocent peo- pie as the crazy Malay does"

pose to have the channel of the Coosa
 Why are you so insistent to have the channel of the Coosa opened?'
 Ask a Gadsden man that question and he will reply instantly: Because 1t will give us river rates on the rail roads, a great advantage. Why. the freight on the products of one of our big industries to the coast of the Gulf of Mexico Is 3 cents higher than the rate on the same goods from Pitts burg. Pa. In other words the Ala bama manufacturer has to pay cents a hundred more freight to Mobile thar does his Pittsburg competitor. Pitts burg. you see, has the river. Because. from a sea coast, a lake coast or a wa ter course. Indianapolis, Ind, Is the largest inland town in the United States.

 The Coosa, they argue. is as near Birmingham at one point as the War ment would benefit Birmingham as much as the improvement of the War rior. And the assertion Is made that the Coosa contains the only solution Of Birmingham's great water problem. It Is confidently predicted that the city of Birmingham will come ultimately to rely upon the Coosa for It's water supply.
 The growth and prosperity of Gads- den may not well be estimated. The large increase of tax valuations of Eto- wah County has been commented upon in most of the leading papers of the State. They have figures here to show that its percentage of increase Is larger than the percentage increase of any county of the State. i.. 1000. The last census gave the city something less than 5000, but that was four years ago, and the city's period of marked growth has been in those four years.
 Within the past twelve months over 800 residences have been built in the city.
 Some light is thrown upon the busi- and Gadsden by the statement that 4.300 cars of freight were handled in the month of August. The city of Montgomery, it is pointed out, did not handle so many cars.
 But then, hundreds. perhaps thous- ands, of these cars were loaded with iron ore and coal. There is more profit in disposing of car load of groceries than in disposing of a car of iron ore.
 Gadsden is optimistic, but 1t has reason for it's optimism.
