NEGRO TRAMP KILLED

Gadsden October S.-(Special Work
has been begun on the extension of the
street railway to the plants of the South
ern Iron and Steel company and will
be pushed as rapidly as men can be Sc
cured for the purpose. A franchise has
also been secured from the council at
Alabama City for carrying the line from
the plants to the main line there, thereby
giving employees of the company who
reside al Alfalfa transportation facilities
to and from the plants. 1t is hoped to
have the new line completed and in oper-
alton by the first of the year.
Five hundred additional men are wanted
at the plants of the Southern Iron and
Steel company to carry forward the work
of rehabilitation and extension. The new
machinery is arriving daily and will all
be on the ground ready for installation
by the time the buildings are ready to
receive it.
The work Is all progressing nicely, but
more men are needed to get the plants
ready to run as planned by the company
The blast furnace is nearly refined and
will be ready to go in blast in few
weeks The work of rebuilding the open
hearth furnaces is also nearing compile
ton. The blooming mill is being rebuilt
and will be practically new and up-to-
date
1t is expected that all these will be
ready for operation by the first of the
year. This will give an opportunity to
make a good supply of steel billets for
use in the rod, wire and nail mill by
the time that section of the plant is ready
to run.
Guy Craig, son of Mrs. E. Craig. n
widow, died suddenly last night after suf-
fering with commissions. Craig was about
q years old and member of the Gads-
den fire department. Some years ago he
collided with a wagon while riding a hi
cycle and was seriously injured He re-
ceived a fractured skull and it was neces-
sary to remove a portion of the skull
and replace it with a silver plate. This
was some years ago and the boy seemed
perfectly well and fully recovered from
the injury. 1t is the general opinion that
his death was the result of this injury.

 tion of freight rates which will be made from those now charged by the railroads will stimulate a commercial awakening that will cause the whole state to boom.
