THE SOUTH'S MARVEL
 LOUS ADVANTAGES

Manufacturers Record, Baltimore, Aug.
 30, 1906.
 Give free rein to your imagination and let it picture the future of a section which has one-half of the iron ore of the United States. nearly three times as much coal as Great Britain, Germany andPennsylvania combined. which holds a monopoly on cotton productio1I and is ra pidly becoming a great cotton manu- featuring center, which dominates the phosphate rock and sulphur trade of the world. which has much of the rich est oil territory known, and has one-half of the standing timber of the country, which produces all the sugar, all the rice. most of the tobacco. and adds to these 00,000,000 bushels a year of grains; and then think of its water powers, its splendid rivers. its great sea coast, its expanding commerce, and remember that it's cotton crop alone an- nually exceeds the total gold and silver production of the world, and that every dollar of gold annually mined on earth is not enough to pay the South's bill against Europe for cotton. and you will get just a faint conception Of the fu- ture.

 Hon. John A. Lusk, of Guntersville, was nominated for State Senator last Monday without opposition, to repre- sent Jackson and Marshall counties. In a speech at Scottsboro last Tuesday he gave his views on certain matters which will be before the next Legisla- ture for consideration, all of which are of more or less importance to the whole State He favors an assessment law that will make the burden of taxation fall as near equally as possible on All persons and property. This IS cer- tainiy one of the crying needs of the state He favors increasing the mum Der of judges, claiming 1t was better business to pay a few thousand doiiars to spend from S100,000 to $11O,000 wear feeding prisoners in jail waiting for a trial: and the long delays in dis posing of cases from the crowded con. dition of the dockets was constant | oppression to litigants. Another reform he urged, and which he said was more dificuIt. In rulings on evidence ana for by attorneys In sults on trlali; indges unavoidably make mistakes, ana he desired.

There is room for a great reform along this line, especially in criminal cases

State pride is something that should never be lost sight of. Tn referring to the selection of Hon. John Fl. Bank head. as one of the alternate senators and to be the first one promoted. The Tuscaloosa Times Gazette says:
 The State has conferred upon Col Bankhead the highest honor in its gift and those who know him realize that when he shall be called upon to fill the place of one of our loved and hon ored Senators land may they long be spared) he will fill the position to the utter satisfaction of every Alaba- milan.
 The Advertiser does not agree with The Times Gazette in it's view as to the highest honor in the gift of the State. That position in our judgment should be accorded to the office of Governor.

RIOT FOLLOWS STRIKE
Serious Trouble Ensues at Winnipeg
as Result of Street Car Company Eff
fort to Employ Strike Breakers.
[By Associated Pressl

Winnipeg, March 29.-As a result of
a protracted mass meeting of employees
of the street railway a strike for high
er wages was inaugurated this morn
ing and serious rioting followed the at
tempt of the company to operate cars
with imported strike breakers. Stones,
mud and sticks were hurled at cars by
crowds of sympathizers and many
were injured, though none seriously.
The mayor has issued proclamation
calling on all citizens to maintain or
der and a number of special police
have been sworn in.
The company has asked for mill
tary protection and unless rioting
stops probably the Royal Caledonian
regiment will be ordered out for guard
duty. The strike breakers are al
legged to be under command of Farley,
who attempted to break the Chicago
teamsters' strike, but this has been
denied.

or whether it was other members of
the colony at the head of the lakes is
not known. In giving his impressions,
without expressing positive opinion,
Chief Troyer points to the fact that
the persons held here made no at
tempt to conceal the fact that their
destination was Duluth, and in broad
daylight bought their tickets and
checked their baggage to this city.
Sokuloff told Chief Troyer that the
reason the victims remained behind
was that they had been assigned to
lighter railroad section work at Salem,
N. d., and intended going to that city
at once.
Detro Staolo of Minneapolis, accom-
panied by Magnuson, owner of the
house where the sextuple tragedy took
place, arrived today to identify the
suspects as members Of the crowd
that occupied his dwelling. Magnu-
sons trip was useless because Soku-
loft several hours before his arrival
admitted all that the Minneapolitan
was expected to prove. Magnuson,
accompanied by Petros Staja, one of
the suspects and cousin of one of
the murdered men, left tonight for
Minneapolis. Staja will attempt to aid
the police by identifying the victims
by name, and with such other infor-
nation as will serve to throw light
on their movements from the time
they left Albern up to the last mo-
ment he saw them alive.

SUSPECTS HELD At DULUTH
Little Progress in Clearing Mystery Of
Minneapolis SextupIe Murder.
lBy Associated Pre~sl

Duluth, Mimi, March 29.-Instead of
clearing the mystery of the murder of
six foreigners in Minneapolis dwell
ing, the arrest in this city today of 10
persons on suspicion has only deep
ened the mystery, which has already
baftied the police. 1t was believed
that those now in custody here were
In some way connected with the
crime, and the Minneapolis police as
serted that the key to the mystery
could be found in this city. This
suspicion was confirmed in way dur
ing the later developments OF the
case tonight, when it was learned by
the police that six hunting knives
were sold by the Kelly Hardware
company of this city to foreigners
one day last week.
An employe of the company left to-
night for Minneapolis for the purpose
of identifying the hunting knives
found in the house of slaughter after
the crime as having belonged to his
stock. This is regarded by the Duluth
police as one of the most important
clues that has yet been struck and
much will depend on the result.
1t is known and admitted by Soku-
loft, the spokesman of the supects,
that he and several of his countrymen
passed through the city last week on
their way to Albern, where they had
been employed during the winter, for
Minneapolis. Whether any of the per-
sons arrested as suspects besides So

HUGE BLAZE PUT OUT
Success Finally Attends Efforts to Ex-
tinguish Flame of caney Gas Well.
[By Associated Pressl

independence, Kan, March 90
The fire in the big gas we'll below
Caney, which has been burning since
February %, was successfully ex-
tinguished today.
The second hood, which was fail
ure two weeks ago, was placed over
the well this afternoon. The ground
had been made wet and soft around
the well, SO that the hood sank deep
into it. Previously the six-inch cas-
ing, which had caused the horizontal
tongues of fire, had been dropped into
the hole and the only fire now was
through the vent pipe in the top of
the hood. Over 100 yards of canvas
ducking was sewed into big blankets
and first layer of canvas and then
a layer of gumbo was built around the
hood until there were tons of earth
banked up Then the hood was an
chored with big chains. Steampipes
were connected to the vent pipe to
prevent the flames from rushing down
into the hood when the valve was shut,
as in yesterdays trial. Then big
spool was attached to the long arm
used to turn the valve and around
this spool wire was wound. At CIV
en- signal men took the end of this
wire and ran, turning the valve, and
the great fire was out.

tween President Mitchell of the min

serted that he had issued free railroad

The labor leader resented this
statement and the excitement was

SPECIAL GRAND JURY
jerome Asks that One Be Called to
Investigate Insurance Matters.
[By Associated Press1

New York, March 29-District At
torney Jerome today requested Su-
preme Court Justice Bowling to call
special grand jury in May to investi-
gate the life insurance matters de-
veloped by the legislative investigat-
ing committee. Mr.. Jerome said that
he did not want to ask an ordinary
grand jury to examine the testimony
of the legislative investigation, in ad-
dition to it's usual work,
Justice Bowling took the matter un-
der consideration until tomorrow.
Mr.. Jerome stated to the court that
he had been somewhat uncertain as
to the proper procedure in the insur-
ance matters, but that after consulting
with the justices in the criminal
branch of the supreme court he had
decided upon the special grand jury.
Justice Bowling asked Mr.. Jerome
whether he would lay before this jury
any matters other than those relating
to insurance. The district attorney re-
piled that he could assure the court
that nothing, except insurance matters
would be presented to the grand jury.

Indianapolis, March 29-The joint
conference of bituminous coal opera

wage scale to go into effect at the
expiration of the pre9ent scale, at mid
night, Saturday.
The disagreement came after a

which has existed since 1898, and
through which wage disputes and 9TH
ef differences have ben adjusted, but
it affects 275,000 bituminous coal min
ers, who will suspend work after Sat
urday, unless something unforeseen in
tervenes in the interest of peace.
The final vote in the conference OF
the central competitive field, on which
the other districts base their settle
ments, was upon motion offered by
President Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers to adopt the wage scale OF
1908, which would have been an in
crease in wages of 5.55 per cent The
operators of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio
voted against the proposition, thus
defeating it, and the disruption of the
conference followed. The operators
of western Pennsylvania and the min
ers of the four states voted for it.
Following the adjournment, Nation
al Secretary w. B. Wilson of the
Mine Workers said:
There is no likelihood that any
thing further will be done. This
means suspension of work. The ma
tional conference of miners will meet
tomorrow. The principal business will
be to determine upon general policy

There is no more prominent family
