The Tennessee Company.

Despite the belief that the negotia- tions In regard to a merger of south ern iron ard steel interests are all off, no little concern is felt in the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company. which will be held in Tracey City, Tenn. Tuesday. President Don H. Bacon and other officials have al- ready started for Tracey City.
 Heretofore the meeting of the stock holders has been very formal affair, an attorney or two appearing in the office in Tracey City and attending to the business in very formal manner. It will be different this year. It will be seen at thIs meeting who Is in con trol of the company Messrs. J. T. Woodward of the Hanover. National Bank of New York and John Henry Smith, tlso of New York, two of the strongest directors in the Tennessee Company, were recently in the Bir- mingham district and looked oyer the properties of the company. Their com ing to the district together settled all doubts as to their being in control. However, 1t is possible that these di- rectors are in favor of a consolidation and their trip to this district was done for purpose
 The meeting on Tuesday will make plain the situation as to ownership. Ac- cording to high officials of other large Iron companies In the Birmingham dis trict which were mentioned as being In the scheme to merge, the negotiations are entirely off.

student, whose complexion was about
the shade of lump of coal, take the
arm of white woman and escort
her to the dining-room.
The sight of this incident fairly
dazed the colored Sunday school peo.
pie, and even the parson stood back
IN wonderment. 1t was readily seen
that the incident did not set so well
on the colored peoples stomachs.
After the luncheon the negro student
and his white company" left to-
gether, and the rest of the guests
caught their breaths. The woman
could not be identified and her com. |
pan'on refused to give her name.

number of qualified electors there
this year was about 2, 1000, or one half.
The total number of votes actually

measure, throughout the State. This
gives cause for serious reflection.
