James, who lives five miles from .Centrevile, had been bitten by a snake and was in a serious condition pr. w. B. Williams left immediately upon the receipt of the message to give the child medical attention.

 On next Saturday the order of Red Men will give an elaborate picnic at Scotttsville. This annual picnic is quite an enjoyable affair, and is usually largely attended.
 A DaSeDall cluD was organized nere on yesterday, and as there is some excellent material for the sport in this community this team will no doubt be heard from during the baseball season.
 The political situation in this county is becoming interesting. For all the county offices except tax collector there are sev- eral contestants, all of whom are busy after the votes. Some sensational deyel- opments in local politics are expected within the next few days.
 The friends of Governor R. M. Cum ningham were very much surprised at his announcement as a candidate for dele gate at large to the Denver convention.

From the Tradesman.

From the Tradesman.
 If the press of the south generally would but exhibit the same commendable intelligence and persistency in behalf of good roads as has been and is being manifested by the newspapers of Bir- mingham for road improvement in that lo- cality there would soon be such a change in public sentiment on this subpect as would secure the blessing of good roads for the entire south.
 We commend this matter to our con- temporaries of the south. and the fol- lowing from the Birmingham Age-Herald will indicate how earnestly that paper speaks for itself and it's colleagues of that city who have shown equal inter est in their advocacy for good roads in that county:
 "The discussion that has been in prog ress in the columns of The AgeHerald for some time past has not only aroused profound interest from one end of the county to the other but it has brought out much valuable information and many on one point at least. namely: Bad roads will no longer be tolerated. As to the methods to be employed in ob- taining the desired results there is a diff ference of opinion. The Age-Herald has insisted on giving the convict labor plan a years trial and it will continue to in- sist that the convict experiment be tried

BIG DEMAND FOR
 SOUTHERN IRON
Stock on Hand Is Not Large
 and Must Be Increased
FURNACES READY TO START
Iron Interests in the South Are Watch. Ing Developments of United States Steel Corporations
 Birmingham Property,

Chattanooga, May 3.-The Tradesman says of the iron and steel marlSeti
 As consequence of a stronger inquiry for southern iron, which gives indlea- tions that much business will follow. con- siderable more satisfaction Is to be noted among the producers and there is a still brighter hope for an early recovery of tho market generally The production is about holding it's own In Tennessee and Alabama the make appears to be the same that 1t has been for the past 30 or 60 days. The two Birmingham fur naees of the Sloss-Sheffield company, one of the Woodward company. iron-malSers, the No. furnace of the Republic Iron and Steel company In Alabama, two fur naees of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company. and other makers are almost ready for the torch. so that the pro duction in the south will be increased 15oo tons day within a weeks notice. The make right now Is keeping up with the demand, but there is not much iron on hand.
 Some bids have been made lately for export business. Foreign furnace com panies are said to be short of iron.
 No. 1 foundry is quoted between S12 90 and SIS per ton. No. ? is quoted in general offices at SIP to $12.50 No. 3 foundry sells at $11 5O to $11.75 No change in prices is said to have been made recently. The southern iron interests are watch ing with considerable concern the devel- opment that is being made by the United States Steel corporation in the properties of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company. As stated by President Corey, all plans and arrangements formulated by the former management of the Ten nessee company as to development and improvement of properties are to be car- ried out, additions are to be made to the 1 steel plant at Ensley and three of the blast iron furnaces at that place are to i be practically rebuilt, increasing the pro- duction 600 tons a day.

CONFEDERATE VETERANS PLAN
 ID HONOR MEMORY OF DAVIS

Jackson, Miss, May 3-(Special)- )-It was suggested at meeting of the Confeder- ate Veterans in this city few weeks since that the commencement exercises of the State university be held at Jack son so that something out of the ordinary could be made of the centennial of Jef- ferson Davis birth on June 3. It was known that Bishop Charles B. Galloway the most distinguished churchman in the state, if not in the south today, had agreed to deliver an address at the uni versfty on that day, his subject being Jefferson Davis. It is understood that the bishop has devoted great deal of thought and study to the subject and that the address at the university will be his mas terpiece
 The suggestion to hold the exercises in Jackson will not be acted on, for the sim pie reason that the expense will be too great. and that the university will be the mecca for thousands of old students of that institution. The university will in- vite every Confederate Veteran camp in the state to attend the commencement, and a special invitation will be extended to Gen. S. D. Lee, commanding the United Confederate Veterans. Chancellor Kin cannon of the university states that he would be glad to accept the invitation to hold the exercises at Jackson but for the great expense, and the trouble and in- convenience of changing such extensive nlans as holding a commencement in- wolves.

 During my term of office as grand master, the most painful duty I have been called upon to perform is to an- nounce officially to the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs of Alabama the sudden death of Brother II. c. Weaver, grand secre- tary of the grand lodge of Alabama.

.RESENTS PRESENCE OF 'COUSIN" RIVAL Negro At EnsIey Does Lively
 Shooting CAUGHT LATER AT TUXEDO Vestry of St. Johns Church To Hold Regular Monthly Meeting-Per- sonal and General News
 of Ensley.
CAUGHT LATER AT TUXEDO

Ensley, May 3.-(Speclal.) )-Much excite ment was caused this evening about o'clock In the neighberhood of Twenty pistol shots being fired In rapid success sion, followed by the scream of a woman. The cause of the shooting was jealousy and desire for revenge.
 Will Bass, a negro porter employed by Messrs, Brewer & Meallle, went to call on a dusky maiden who lives in the alley on Twenty-third street, and on ar irving at her abode he discovered a rival in the shape of a burly negro about twice the size of himself. Notwithstanding the woman stated to him that the aforesaid negro was a cousin of mine.'' Will drew a A Colt and proceeded to make things lively. At the sight of the gun the in- truder on Wills prospective happiness commenced to best retreat. Will fired several times, none of the bullets appar- ently taking effect, however. They seemed only to serve the purpose of making the retreating negro run faster, if such a thing was possible. A crowd gathered at the first shot. as the place where the ClHlcully occurred IS lnlcEly Setlieu. DdSS took advantage of the crowd and dis appeared Officer Henry White arrived on the scene a few minutes after the shoot ing and learned that Bass was seen going in the direction of Tuxedo Officer White immediately boarded South Ensley car, disgusting himself. At the Tuxedo june tion a negro boarded the car who an- swered the description of the man who had done the shooting. White quietly approached the negro and saw the butt end of a gun in his pocket The officer grabbed the negro and disarmed him be- fore he had time to realize what had happened. Bass was taken to the city jail and will be given a hearing tomorrow. Officer White showed good judgment and made a neat capture, having the negro disarmed and handcuffed before the other occupants of the car realized that an arrest was being made. Had the officer not removed his helmet and other con spicuous marks, the negro would not have boarded the car and possibly would have escaped.

RAILROADS MAY LOSE.
Citizens of Pontotoc Hope Old Case
 Will Soon Be Settled.

Jackson, Miss, May S.-(Special.)-A torney General Fletcher has returned from Washington, where he went to represent the state of Mississippi in the celebrated Pontotoc injunction case and which he argued before the supreme court of the United States last Wednesday. Of course, General Fletcher got no tip as to what this august tribunal is going to do in the premises, but he is encouraged from the showing he knows he made, aud from questions that the members of the court put to the attorneys from the bench to have very strong hopes of winning, and forcing the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City Railroad company to obey the orders of the railroad commission and build their line through the town of Pontotoc, just where the people want it, and where they were ordered to build it years ago.
