Treasurer Pays Full Value.

Huntsville, October 10.-(Special.) )-The treasurer of Madison county has begun to pay all claims against the fine and for feiture fund of the county as they are presented, making county script worth it's face value. For some time past the fund has been sufficient to pay all claims. and this has been done every six months. From now on the claims will be paid whenever they are presented. At the emd of each six months in the future the sur plus of the fund will be devoted to the payment of officers script. County script in the recent past has been worth as low as 10 cents on the dollar. The change in value is the result of the high price re- ceived by the county for it's convict labor and the good contracts made by the coun- ty officials with the labor contractors.

REVIEW OF COTTON
 GOODS MARKET

New York, October 10.-Prices for cot ton goods have been advanced sharply in the primary markets during the past week, and there has been a moderate amount of trading at the new figures. Previous to the advances some substan tial orders were booked. Fall River sold 900 pieces of print cloth and the mills there are stated to be sold comfortably for the remainder of this year, a condi- tion that is reflected in nearly all print cloth mills.
 The cotton goods mills are also work ing on orders that will carry them to the end of the year. The absence of export trade and other things has caused less business approximately in the coarse end of the market. Curtailment of production is being arranged for through fear of the inability of mills to secure prices for finished goods in keeping with the relatively high price of cotton, but 1t is not expected to become effective until next year in any large way and not then unless there is a very high price placed upon raw material.
 Cotton yarns are of light demand and while new high prices have been named, sales aes being made at very irregular figures. Robbers are passing through a reasonably quiet period, but retailers are stated to be making good progress in fall ready-to-wear merchandise, knit goods and specialties. The dress goods markets are generally quiet In mems wear fabrics the large mills have a good business still on their books, but some smaller mills have lost business through revisions and cancellations. =
 The knit goods and hosiery trade for immediate delivery goods has become quite active

VERY BLUE SUNDAY
 IN PENSACOLA

Pensacola, Fla, october 10.-Today was blue Sunday in Pensacola, the Law and Order league enforcing the Florida laws passed 50 years ago relating to Sunday law violations to the letter. Not even q newspaper or cigar could be purchased. while those -housekeepers who failed 10 provide themselves with bread and neg lected their marketing Saturday, had to rely upon restaurants for their Sunday dinner, and there were hundreds of them caught in this predicament.
 Meat markets, bakeries fruit stands, cigar stands, book and newspaper stores, theatres and other classes of business heretofore wide open, kept closed.
 One man defied the laws and the league "a theatre proprietor-who opened his doors this afternoon and ran uninter- rupted until the closing hour tonight.
 The sheriff, however, refused to act in making arrests unless members of the Law and Order league make affidavts, then he will arrest upon warrants only.

REFUSE TO ALLOW
 SCOTT TO SPEAK
MEETING AT JoNEsRoRo METH oDIsT CHURCH ADDRESSED BY TWO BIRMINGHAM LAWYERS
 BUT SCOTT IS DENIED VOICE.

Bessemer, october 0-(speeial.)- temperance rally which was advertised to be held in the Jonesboro Methodist church tonight turned out to be a one- sided affair For about a week it had been advertised that John P. Mccoy and Judge ". E. Horne of Birmingham would speak for the amendment and that Pinck- ney Scott a well-known attorney, would present the case against the amendment
 MT. Scott was notified this morning by the Rev. J. NJ McClesky, pastor of the church, that he would not be allowed to make a statement. The church was crowded to hear the speakers. Discussing the affair Mr Scott said tonight:
 Tt has been extensively advertised for a week that MT. Mccoy, Judge Horne and myself would speak for and against the amendment. l am a steward in the Methodist church at Jonesboro, and ill order to be sure of my position l went to Rev McClesky and he assured me that there would not be the slightest ob- jection to my making a statement at the church, that they would be glad to have both sides of the issue presented. You can imagine my surprise therefore when he came to me and said that would not be allowed to say anything in the church against the amendment.
 AS a steward In the church l feel that an injustice has been done to me as well as to my friends who went to the church tonight to hear me speak. l am lawyer and a layman, but as a stew ard in the church I certainly had as much right to express my opinions as did the two lawyers who died speak, and since they are from Birmingham l think perhaps I had a little more right to ex press my opinion than they did.
 T have not yet decided what steps l shall take in the matter, but I certainly resent such treatment"

ORDERS FOR IRON
 CONTINUE LARGE
Some Concessions In Price
 Have Been Made In East
SOUTHERN PRICES FIRM
Interest In Steel Making Iron Is Gen. tered In Pittsburg District, Where Big Orders For Bessemer Are
 Placed.

New York, October 10.-Concessions of 50c ton, made by some Buffalo and east ern furnaces last week, encouraged the continued placing of orders for both foun- dry and basic iron for shipment over the remainder of the current year, and re- suited in aggregate sales of about 40 GOO tons of foundry grades and 20,000 tons of basic. Pipe works have been urgently in the market for low grade iron for early delivery and have secured several lots Of from 200O to 2500 tons each from do- mestic furnaces, but the supply being inadequate, they have secured one cargo of No. 8 Middlesboro about 5000 tons at S17.2O on dock Philadelphia, duty paid, and several additional cargoes of for eign are in the balance. The lower prices for domestic iron have been in part due to the increasing competition from for eign metal, but neither Alabama nor Virginia producers have receded from their sharp advance
 Interest in steel making iron has been largely transferred to the Pittsburg ter ritory, where contracts for about 6o,OOO tons of Bessemer and basic have been BldCtu. ID6 AdnDFld Sleel cOlHDdnX mas produced 52,00O tons of metal paying SIS for standard Bessemer for this year, and SIS 50 for the first quarter of 1910. Basic Iron in the east has sold mainly at SIS delivered, but some sales for the first quarter of next year have been sold at $1S.4O. The output of pig iron in Septem- Der was at the rate of 29750,0OO tons annually. while the Prospect is for a CO., o00,000-ton rate this month, breaking all records.
 Contracts for standard section rails have been placed aggregating 600 tons, all but 15,000 tons for the Atlantic Coast Line. Nearly all of the business placed last week was for next years delivery.
 Fabricated structural steel orders placed during the week aggregating about 15, GOO tons. Tenders have been made on 100,- GOO tons in various sections of the eoun- try, but only portion of this is ex- pected to be awarded this month There have been no further important changes in prices, but fabricated material is ir- regular. while premiums are being paid for early shipments of plain material.

M LYNDON CASE
 COMES UP SOON

Atlanta, October 10.-(Special.) Judge John S. Candler. leading counsel for former Chairman S. G. McLendon of the state railroad commission, who was sus- pended by former Gov. Hoke Smith and deposed from office by the legislature, said today that he knew of no reason why the quo warranto proceedings brought by MT. McLendon against Commissioner Jo- seph F. Gray, Governor Browns ap- pointee, should not be argued promptly before Judge Walter G. Charlton of Chatham superior court, and expeditions ly disposed of.
 The case is set for hearing before Judge Charlton next Thursday, October IA. On account of it's political aspect, it is of general and statewide interest. So far as is known now, all of MT. McLendon's counsel, including besides Judge. Candler three other former justices of the supreme court-Judges W. A. Little of Columbus, J. R. Lamar of Augusta and Andrew J. Cobb of Athens-will be present at this hearing. MT. McLendon is also preparing to go to Savannah next week to attend court on that occasion.
 While the argument to be made before Judge Charlton is upon a request for leave to file the quo warranto suit, it will in volve and bring before the court the mer- it's of the entire case, so that decision upon this preliminary motion will be, in effect, a decision for or against the peti- tioner.
 It will then go direct to the supreme court for determination. In the opinion of counsel, if nothing of serious or providential nature happens to interfere ..f Aaa1 decision should be handed down by the supreme court about the middle of De- cember or by the first of the year at latest.

HOKE SMITH MAY
 RUN FOR CONGRESS

Atlanta, October 10.-(Special )-Recent rumors have connected the name of for mer Gov. Hoke Smith with the race for Congress in the Fifth district next year.
 It has been ascertained, however, that while the rumor had some slight founda- tion, the ex-governor has no political as- pirations exactly in that direction.
 Of course, the report reached the ears of friends of Congressman l.. F. Liv- ingston and, very naturally. they made inquiries.
 It is learned that the report grew out of the visit to Governor Smith by a com mittee of his friends who merely threw out the suggestion that he should make the rate for Congress The conference was concluded, however, by Governor Smith informing them that he could not consider 1t.
 More persistent have been the efforts of Governor Smith friends, 1t is stated, to get him into the race for governor next year against Gov. Joseph M. Brown. Solicitations to this effect, it Is reported, have come to him from all parts of the state and the belief is growing that this is more probably the course that he will pursue.
 That the former governor has some po- litical irons in the fire, 1t is not doubted. Recently copies of his last message to the legislature have been distributed in vari- ous sections of the state, and he has vis- ited and made speeches here and there at public gatherings as occasions have presented themselves.
 The former governors ardent friends
 yn11lG seem, for him to get into another bout with Joe Brown
 Things seem to be shaping up in that direction, and the former governors an nouncement about the first of the year would cause no great surprise.

War was declared on the negro chauf- feur when portion of the force em- ployed by the Tennessee Automobile com pany walked out because a touring car brought into Chattanooga by a negro was washed at the garage. The Chattanooga Chauffeurs' and Mechanicians' association was organized several months ago for the purpose of preventing such an invasion, and 1t has been the cause of a decrease in the number of negro chauffeurs in Chattanooga. Recently many private own CTS have employed negroes to pilot their cars, and the association has found new grounds for fight.
