JOHN A. GREEN
 HANGS HIMSELF
HAD BEEN ILL FOR SOME TIME WITH AN INCURABLE MALADY. DISCOVERED AND CUT DOWN BEFORE DEATH OCCURS.

Scottsboro, July 2.-(Special.) 1.-The quiet neighborhood of Francisco, in Paint Rock valley. was thrown into high state of excitement few days ago on ac- count of the suicide of John A Green. a very prominent and highly respected cit izen of that vicinity.
 MT. Green had been suffering severely for the past two or three months with spinal and heart disease, which caused his mind to become unbalanced. He arose very early in the morning, and while his wife was preparing breakfast he took some corn and went to feed his hogs about 100 yards from the house. On ac- count of some peculiar actions on his part for several days his family was watching his movements, and on missing him from the hog feeding ground, search was at once commenced for him, which resulted in finding him hanging by the neck with rope fastened to tree. He was at once cut down and restora- tive measures applied from which he par tially recovered, but he never rega1ned consciousness nor speech, but fingered in a speechless and unconscious state few hours and then died.
 The deceased was quiet, nnpreten- tious man, and a prominent and zealous worker in the Methodist church. His re- mains were inferred in the Old Beech buryins ground, and the Rev. J. R. Aus tell of Estell Fork conducted funeral ser vices.
 The church house at Wannville, in this county, was burned down few nights ago. The origin of the fire is yet un- known.

STEEL PLANT ACTIVITY
Southern Shovel Manufacturing Plant Turns Out First Product-Br- mineham Negro Fined for
 Selling Refreshments.

Gadsden, July 23.-(Special.) )-Haying se- cured the rod, wire and nail mill of the Southern Iron and Steel company. the city is now facing the proposition of pro- viding homes for the army of employees that will soon be here. The houses of the city are pretty well all occupied and the few that are vacant will be taken in a short time as the flling-up process is already on
 The working force at the steel plant that has been on the ground for some time getting ready for the repairs will be increased at once and the engineers for the laying off of the new mill will be on the ground in few days.
 It is estimated that by the first of the year at least 5OO new houses should be available and twice that number within the next F months. The people who are in position to build realize the oppor- tunity ahead of them and will not be long in making their arrangements to get busy and from the outside there are already many inquiries for vacant prop erty and new capital will no doubt seek the city for profitable investment in res idence property.
 Building activity will therefore, begin at once. A number of real estate trans actions are known to have been made but only a few have thus far found their way to the records.
 The Southern Shovel company turned out it's first finished product yesterday and from this time on will be In contin- uous operation. The principal article to be manufactured will be a patented show el, 80 constructed that 1t Is self-sharp- ening. The company has a good supply of orders ahead and the plant promises to be a prosperous institution.

It was announced by the attorney for Ball that an appeal would be taken to the city court.
