ehinery in the rail mill was made the past week and everything found In good condition. Several tons of rail were rolled and the machinery respond ed nicely to the call. The machinery In the blooming mill was tested a couple of weeks since and found to be in splendid shape already. There Is yet much work to be done but the force of hands employed Is large and no time will be lost Announcements Is made that already some work Is being done in the way of putting In the further improvements and development recom- mended by President W. k. Corey of the United States Steel Corporations at the end "of. his recent visit to the Bir. mingham district. Plans 'a have been drawn and the site is being selected for a 500 ton mixer while the blue prints are in hand for new soaking pits for the metal. It Is not Believed there will be any delay in starting up the work in the big plant for these improve ments but that by May IS the wheels will be h umming again and the little army of steel workers wtll be busy at the rolls. In addition to the mixer and soaking pits several more open hearth steel furnaces will be erected but these will hardly be started on until the new furnaces now in hand are completed and in operation. More purchases of property adjacent to the big steel plant are reported. which positively signifies that the big corporation means busi- ness fin the way of development at Ensleya i@ 7
 The resumption of another coal mine in the Birmingham district the past week was rather encouraging. There are indications that there Twill be two or three other mines started up again during this week with at least three more later on when the steel plant and furnaces are in operation. Bids are being made on some healthy orders in the South for coal which will require many hundred thousand tons to fill. If this business Is secured there will be need for steady operation of mines and steady shipment of the same. There is some coal stocked up at furnaces. re- tall sales yards and elsewhere but if there was a sudden improvement In the demands it is certain there would be Recessity of starting up mines again before many days would pass.
 Coke Is still 'duli. The Sloss- s-Shef- field Steel and Iron Company has ptaced fire in larger battery of ovens at the city furnaces and before the end of the week will be producing quite a little quantity of the product there. The prospects are not as bright as they might be for a general resump- ton of operations at the coke ovens.

TWO PROMINENT LA MYERS ARE
 LYNCHED BY THE NIGHT RIDERS
Brother of Capteyn Rankin
 Resides is Montgomery

Having received q brief telephone message from members of his-family at Belle Nina, Limestone County. early Tuesday morning, that his brother, Capt. Quentin Rankin, had been lynch ed by masked night riders near Wal nut Log, Tenn. pr. William R. Rankin, of this city. who lives at 102 Church Street, left Tuesday night for the scene of the trouble He took the north- bound Louisville and Nashville train, departing at $40 o'clock.
 Just as Dr. Rankin was beginning his days work, he received notice of a long distance message awaiting him. AS soon as he got in communication with his old home, Belle Nina, in the northern end of the State, he was shockd to hear of his brothers death and the manner of 1t. The message was very brief. coming from relatives who seemed anxious to withhold as many of the narrowing details as pos sibIe in order to make the trop of pr. Rankin as comfortable as possible
The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-10-21

Later. however, pr. Rankin read the Associated Press dispatches from Ten nessee Though exceedingly grieved he appeared reconciled to the fate of his brother. His friends extended their sympathy to him throughout the day.
 Seen by an Advertiser reporter Tues day night, pr. Rankin said he knew nothing more of the causes of his brothers death than was told in the newspapers. He had not heard from him in about a month and then there was no mention of impending trouble He is quite sure that his brother never worried over the warnings he is re. ported as having received.
 The Rankin family was reared in Belle Nina. pr. Rankin came several years ago to Montgomery to engage in the practice of medicine while his brother moved to Tennessee to pursue law It is not known how long Dr. Rankin will be absent. but he Is deter mined to not let the tragedy go by without exhaustive investigation.
