 gecause of the scarcity of coke, higher price for that product is noted than ever before prevailed. There was U time when large quantities or coke were brought into the district from West Virginia and other States, but the product is just as badly needed ID those States now as 1t Is in birmins- ham. The coke production in Alabama is being held down by reason or the car shortage. The prices for coke are going up.
 Much progress Is being made on the excavations for the new steel plant at Ensley. as the weather continues ta- yorable. It is now believed that the big plant will be up and ready TOT op- eration by September l.

While the election of president. vice president, secretary, treasurer and gen eraI financial agent under the terms of the constitution Is the prerOgative of the Executive Committed of the Asso- citation which will meet here January l5 and Is, the mass convention fol- lowing the three days after that date will probably be given an opportunity of expressing an opinion.
 The convention will bring together, it is believed, no less than 5000 men interested in the growing of and deal ing in cotton, its warehousng. the banking on the staple, etc. Among the many matters that will come up in this convention will be the following:
 Proper storage facilities.
 Receipts issued by the warehouses to show class of cotton, (classing be- ing done by an expert employed by the producers); weight, condition on date of insurance. Amount of insur- ance carried on bale. cost per month for storage and insurance, all to appear on the face of the receipts This sys- tenn will not alone enable the South to finance the crop but it Is expected that spinners may in due time purchase re- ceipts and permit cotton to remain in storage, calling for it as needed.
 Diversification and rotation of crops will be prominently emphasized, not only for the reason that in this way alone that soon the South may throw off the yoke of debt which Is such an annual drain and burden upon this sec tion, when this section purchases the necessities Of life from other sections of the country. when this section car so easily and prOfitablY raise the sup niles at home-but in the rotation of

 Selma, Dec. 9.
 little white boy about l4 years or aga was brought to this city on the Birmingham train at 5 o'clock tnis morning and carried to an lnHI ~ ma o, for medical treatment. The name ol the bov was said to be John Kelley, . son of Mir. and Mrs. Kelley, who lives near Plantersville, in the northern part of this county. - The little fellow was suffering from a number of knife wounds in the stomach which had been inflicted late vesterday afternoon near his ohme. The blade of the knife in many instances had penetrated the intestines and It is believed that there Is little chance for inc hoy to recover from the inju- ries which he received.
 Scarcely any of the particulars lead ing up to the cutting of the little boy could be learned here today. But from what information could be gathered IL seems that late yesterday afternoon the Kelley boy and another boy little larger than he was had a fight. Dur ing the fight the other boy pulled knife and before anyone could stop him had iabbed Kelley in the stomach several times with it.
 As soon as it was found that the young boy had been injured medical aid was quickly summoned from Plant ersviIle. The physician dressed the wound and advised that he be brought to this city for medical attention. It could not be learned whether the boy who had inflicted the wounds had been arrested.
