NEW PIPE PLANT
 BEING ERECTED Output of Sheffield Plant to be
 400 Tons REVIVAL OF THE BIG TRUST In Order to Make Competition Possi' ble the Promoters Have Been Assured of Rates That Will
 Equalize Conditions.
REVIVAL OF THE BIG TRUST

Sheffield, November 6.--(speeial)-Pro- gress in the construction of the big plant now being erected by the Sheffield Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry company promises soon to add an important industry to this city, When the first division of the works Is complete this alone will have an out put of 200 tones of cast Iron water pipe a day. The output of the whole plant is to be 400 tons day. To run the first half of the establishment 400 persons will be employed and lated employment will be given to some seven. or eight hundred.
 Interesting conditions, typical of much of the recent phenomenal development of the resources of Alabama, lie behind the establishment here of this formidable competitor of the United States Steel and Iron company. In the first place. accord [ ing to representative of this company, cast iron pipe can be made more cheaply here than anywhere else In the country. In the manufacture of this pipe the chief necessities are sufficient quantities of pig iron, coke, sand and clay. All but the coke are obtained right here and the COke IS SupDlltu Dy duJdCtHl pal bo oi tiiN Birmingham district.
 Even under these conditions, it would however, be impossible to establish this industry here without the assurance of access to the market on equitable terms with the great output of the United States Steel and Iron company, which hitherto has supplied something like 80 per cent ff,s, in l1o United States. The competition of the plants of this great concern at Chatta- nooga, Bessemer and Birmingham and the independent plants at Scotsdale, Pa, Columbus, O., Buffalo, N. Y, and Camden, N J., will have to be met by the local company throughout the United States. It was upon being assured of rate that would equalize conditions between the older and powerful establishments and this pioneer that the Sheffield company would venture Into the field. Only an elastic system of rates such as the present one, commented a representative of the company, could make possible such an un- dertaxing Allow federal commission to hold arbitrary sway in this matter and the basic principle, that of cooperation between the railroads and the shippers on a business footing, is destroyed
 Business men here feel that the estab- lishment of this pipe plant Is only fore runner of other similar enterprises that will be drawn here in the near future by the natural faeilties that they consider unsurpassed. They are looking for a gen eral uplift in business of every sort in consequence of the increase In the amount of capital invested here and the number of men who will find employment. The more far-seeing among them say they are anxious that nothing be done by the na- tional government to hamper their devel- opment as they prophecy would be the in- evtable consequence of the fixing of freight rates by the interstate commerce commission

Committee to Meet. The miscellaneous committee of the city council of Ensley will meet at the city hall tomorrow night and will likely com plete the license schedule for next year. The committee has been busy on this work for several days and it is under stood that the new schedule will show some material changes especially in the taxes of some of the corporations operat- ing in the city.
 At the last meeting of the city council a resolution was adopted recommending the assessment of taxes from the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power com pany based on the gross receipts of the company.
 The committee Is considering this prop osition, but it Is not known what they will do with 1t. It is believed. however, that the license taxed against this com pany will be assessed so much on each line in operation in the city. | It is understood that the license assess | ed against the Birmingham Water Works company will be materially increased oyer 1 that of last year
 l The city council will meet irregular session next Thursday night when they will receive the report and license recom- | mendation of the miscellaneous commit | tee.

 The recent appearance of most impor tant book. 'rhe Civil War and Recon structon in Alabama" by Prof. Walter l.. Fleming of the chair of history of West Virginia, = to be noted with great interest not only by his friends. but by all who are interested in the history of our commonwealth. It can be stated without exaggeration that. it is one of the most notable publicatio6s that has issued in recent years from the pen of an Ala bamian The treatise Is voluminous and covers every phase of this thrilling period of Alabama history. It is a mine of in- formation. showing painstaking and la borious efforts. and must constitute final authority on the facts chronicled. The treatment Is specific and touches many concrete questions of southern po- litical and social life The style Is crisp and often pungent. The viewpoint of the writer is that of one who loves his peo- pie and yet it is judicial and discriminat- ing to a marked degree.

Smith Every nrecaution will be observed to take care of inc negroes and to prevent their doing themselves harm or escaping. There IS sentiment among the people for pupile hanging. in order that the negroes or the town will be given an object lession It is very likely that a petition will be sent to Governor Jelks asking that the hanging be made public.
 Mystery Surrounds Rents Death
 There is considerable mystery about the death of J. B. Kent, the cotton mill oper- ative of Alabama City, who 1t Is alleged fell down the stairway leading from the pool room over Mitchells saloon on Broad street last Tuesday night crushing his skull. which caused death Wednesday night at o'clock. His family claims that he left home with s6O in bills in one pocket book and s in silver In another but when he was picked up and taken to the police station only one pocket oook was found and less than S2 In silver Again the skin on his head was not broken where the skull was fractured and the blood oozed from his ear. giving evi- dence of a blow with a sandbag. Again there was not bruise upon his body, although 1t Is said he fell down the stair way. The coroner's jury failed to bring atfH ah murdered A great many people believe so strongly that the man met with foul play that the Gadsden Times-News has offered d reward of Sf00 for evidence sui ficient to convict the murderer of the old
 man, if murder was done.
 Another Negro to Hang.
 Frank Allen colored who has been confined in the Etowah county jail for the past year on the charge Of murder, VIII no doubt be hanged sometime next Janu- ary, making four hangings in this county within a month. Hardly year ago Frank Allen shot a negro woman in Attalia be- cause she would not attend an entertain ment with him. Allen asked the woman to go with him and she refused. He went to his boarding house, secured his pistol and going to the girl asked her the sec- ond time to go with him, and as she re- fused he shot her down. He was arrest ed. tried. convicted and sentenced to be hanged on the 18th of last August His attorney, c. D. Glover. took an appeal but 1t was not presented to the supreme court for the reason that the very points on which the appeal was taken were de- cided while he was en route to Montgom- cry. MT. Glover thinks that Allen Is crazy and he is going to do what he can to save the negro. It is expected that the state supreme court will re-sentence | Allen in a short while to be hanged in January.

That is just what you are doing when you fail to get reg ular and sufficient sleep. Your body requires this unconscious period for repair work; with out it your nerve energy be- comes exhausted, and you are tired, worn-out, nervous, ex- citable; have headache, neu- ralgia, indigestion, poor appc- tite, or other ailments caused by lack of nerve force. Make it your business to sleep. If you are restless, take Dr. Miles Nervine it soothes and strengthens the nerves, and brings sweet, refreshing, life-giving sleep, and gives the organs power to work natur- ally. Try it to-day.
 T had severe spell of fever, which left me in very weak condition and very nervous. I had severe spells of headache and neuralgia. and could sleep but very little. Every effort that was made to recover my strength was of nc, avail until I began taking Dr. Miles Restorative Nervine. After I commenced to take the Nervine my sleep was profound and restful, and the pains in my head. as well as the neuralgia pains, left me to certain extent and grew gradually better"
