IENSLEY MAY JET
 IMPORTANT PLANT Rumor of Frog and Switch Manufacturing Concern NOTHING DEFINITE KNOWN Would Be a Very Valuable Addition to the DIstrlct-Representatlves Here
 Have Been Investigating Lo-
 cations and Conditions.
NOTHING DEFINITE KNOWN

Ensley. July N-Special)-While noth- Ing definite has been given out, 1t is ru- mored, and on good authority stated that Ensley will get new and very important industrial plant in the near future.
 The rumor does not state just what the nature of the plant will be, but 1t is un- derstood that it will be a concern for the manufacture of railroad frogs and switches, one of the most important plants that could be secured for the dis trict.
 This district is the most logical location in the country for such plant as steel rails are necessary to the manufacture of these products, and they are made here more cheaply than anywhere else.
 It Is stated to be fact that represen- tatives of such a concern have been in the district Investigating freight rates, la- bor and locations. They made thorough survey of all these conditions. and 1t is said that they express themselves as well pleased with the district and it's several advantages It Is more than probable that the district is to be favored with another large manufacturing concern, and while 1t may not be located in Ensley, 1t will be in the district and in easy reach of the steel plant at this place.

REY. R. W. PROVINCE
 WRITES OF CHINA
PASTOR OF ENSLEY BAPTIST CHURCH TELLS OF CONDITIONS AT SHANGHAI, WHERE HE HAS GONE AS MISSIONARY.

Ensley July 27,-(special )-Felix D. Fuller of this place has just received a very interesting letter from the Rev. H. W. Province, who went from Ensley to Shanghai, China, as :" missionary in the early part of this year, in which he gives graphic description of conditions in tlat country.
 The Rev MT. Province was pastor of the Ensley Baptist church at the time he was appointed missionary and IS well known and greatly loved by the people of the town and community. For some tune previous to his coming to Ensley he was pastor of the Clayton Street Bap- list church at Montgomery.
 MT. Province was accompanied to China by his wife who is as the letter states, assisting him in the mastering of the Cnese language and in mission work.
 He explains in the letter to MT. Fuller that Shanghai is not exactly seaport town as is generally supposed, being twenty miles from the coast, and yet it is considered as Duch. He states that he is in the foreign quarter of the city, the section or concession that Is under foreign rule. There are between 1000 and 5000 foreigners in this section, he says and yet there are one hundred Chinese to one foreigner.
 Mir Province says he and his wife were greatly surprised to find that great many American ideas and conveniences have been adopted by the natives in this section of the city, but in the old part of the town, known a7 the Walled City the people are densely ignorant, indolent and filthy. It has the appearance of never having known the tread of civilized or Christian foot.
 He speaks enthusiastically of his work and states that he has been engaged since his arrival mainly in the task or learning the native language. He has been able to teach small class of boys who can speak some English and mas done some work In the Sunday schools.
 He expresses the nope of soon being aple to preach the gospel to the natives Tn their own tongue.
 MT. Province and wife joined in an ex- nression of love and best wishes for their many friends in Ensley and the distrlct.

CAPT. ]. ". BAKER
 BOOSTS HIS TOWN
HE SEES A GREAT FUTURE AHEAD FOR ENSLEY-BUlLDIN ARE GOING UP AL OVER TOWN. ENSLEY LAND CO., WORK.

Ensley July H.-(special. )--Capt J. w Baker, vice president Of the Ensley Land company, spent today in the city and ex- with the outlook for Ensley's future He said: There is hardly a street or an avenue in Ensley on which you cannot see at least one or two buildings in course of construction.
 This town has never enjoyed a more promising period than at present and it is very gratifying to those with business interests here. Real estate was never more active in a substantial way than at present and as have jus stated, build ing Is exceptionally active. All this em- phaszes the faitl. the people have in Ensley's future.
 There are great things ahead for Ens- ley and the next few years, I believe will add more to the towns substantial prosperity than any in the past "The steel mill has attracted, and will attract many more important manufac- turing plants to this district Ensley will set her share of these new industries and every new one that comes increases the magnetic influence that tends to draw others. You can't keep a city from grow ing when it once gets under good head way and on solid basis. Prosperity breeds prosperity, and success is the greatest producer of success in the world. Ensley is a success and yet we have not reached the limit of material prosperity"
 The Ensley Land company has been one of the most potent factors in Ensley's growth and- prosperity. It promoted the building Of the town and deserves great credit for the success attained.

ENSLEY DISCUSSES
 REIMBURSEMENT
SCHOOL BOARD CONTENDS THAT REDUCTION IN SCHOOL FUND APPROPRIATION IS UNEQUAL AND UNJUST.

Ensley July 27-(special) )-The read justment of the public school fund of the state, which has reduced the appropria- tion for cities and towns for the benefit of the weaker schools in rural districts, in creating considerable dissatisfaction among the people of Ensley, where the appropriation has been cut about sl0O or more.
 The school board of Ensley some time ago took up the matter, and regarding the appropriation as unjust and unequal employed Attorney Romaine Boyd to in- vestigate the matter and take steps for securing readjustment of the appropria- tion as far as Ensley is concerned If possible.
 While the school population of Ensley is much larger than it was last year the appropriation has been reduced something more than s12Oo and this Is claimed to be considerably out of proportion. While the school board is willing to sacrifice a reasonable amount in the interest of the weaker schools in the county they con- tend that the appropriation is too small in proportion to the number of students and increased total amount of the general fund.
 The schools of Ensley are very largely supplemented by local taxation and from other sources and are perhaps in as fine condition as any public schools of the state but the board feels that they should have their pro rata share of the public funds from the state
 No definite action has yet been taken in the matter but MT. Boyd and the mem- bers of the board are making thorough Investigation and it is believed that a readjustment of the appropriations will be secured.

National Association of Life Under writers Defends Afsreatene Sys- tcm of Organized I7eneaeence
 In the World"

Hartford. Conn. Sept. 2i.-Harmony prevailed today at the third days ses- sion of the National Association of Life Underwriters and the threatened split over the adoption of the resolutions presented Tuesday by Delegate J. J. Raleigh of St. Louis, denouncink mis- conduct fin insurance circles, was averted A compromise resolution was adopted. The resolution recommends full publicity in relation to sli insur- ance operations. E'fsH
 The report of the, Executive Commit tee was also unanimously adopted. This report recommended that the Ral- elgh resolution should not be consid- cred because it was "unwarranted and outside the proper province Of the Ma tionat Association of Life Underwrit- CTS" '1
 The first ,intimation that the crisis which threatened to cause a split in the convention at adjournment yester- day was averted came at the opening of today's session, when Delegate Van, Tuy1 of Minneapolis, who led the op- position to the committees report yes- terday, arose and moved the adoption of the report: adding that another res- olution would be presented also The resolution, referred to was then offered and adopted unanimously. It was as follows: At
 "whereas.. At the present time the attention of the public is directed to evils recently discovered in the busi- ness of life insurance to the extent that the long record of faithful hand ling of the funds of policyholders in the American life insurance companies is in danger of being overlooked, now, therefore, be it
 Resolved, That the National Asso- citation of Life Underwriters record the fact that the interests of policyholders in life insurance companies of America haave during the past half century been administered with a fidelity, in- teErity and ability which recent events have, but served to emphasize, and be it further
 Resolved, That for the best interest of the poIicyhoiders and the companies of which in special sense are com muted to us. the association suggests full and free publicity of all the ope- rations of the. life insurance com panies as best calculated to minimize future opportunities for evil and to re- tain the confidence of the public in the best and what will surely grow to be the greatest system of organized benehcence in the world--the business of life insurance"
 The adoption of the resolution was greeted with applause and the dele gation turned their attention to the regular program of the day.
 The report of the nominating com mittee was adopted and the following declared elected officers of the asso- citation:
 President, c. W. scoval. Pittsburg; First Vice-PTesident, George Benhsm. St. Louis; Second Vice President, F. E. McMullen New York; Third Vice-Pres- ident, Col. Robert Sheldon. Atlanta, Ga; Secretary, Ernest J. Clarke, Bal timore; Treasurer, Ell D. Weeks, Litch- field.
 The next annual convention will be held at St. Louis, the date to be de- ltermIned by the Executive Committee.
