NEGRO KILLED AT SLOSS

Bessemer, April 7.-(Special.) )-Reports today state that all of the Blue Creek mines have resumed operations. and are working good force of coal miners It was not learned whether the coke ovens have been fired up or not. It is also re- ported that the work of stocking iron ore at Furnaces Nos. and ?, in Bessemer, commenced today, and force of men has been put to work at this point.
 It will be remembered that a statement was made on Saturday that the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company would begin working all of it's mines on Red Mountain at once and that the excess of output would be stocked. II $ understood that the company will start up these two furnaces. which have been idle for more than year. Both of the furnaces are in prime shape and could be blown in on short notice should orders be received to start them up.
 Conditions are much better this week than for sometime past and there IS far better feeling among all classes, as 1t looks very much as if all departments of work are to go ahead without any dlminution in force or any cutting of wages among the employees. Practically all of the Bessemer plants are operating. except the two fur naces mentioned above and the coke ovens at the same place, and the pay is above the average of the past year.

For Another Election,

At a meeting of the Jonesboro town council, held Tuesday night, it was de.er- mined after due consideration to call an- other bond election for Jonesboro and May IA was named as the time. Mayor Martin stated that after investigation he did not think the revenues of the town justified the sale of bonds to the amount of $9O,OOo, recently voted by good majority, and he thought it well to call that election off and order another for s15,OOo, which can be easily disposed of, and which will be suf- ficient to build all necessary school build ings for the town. The council elected the following members of the board of education: Pinkney Scott, w. T. Loveless Lee Vines. Rev. J. M. McClosky, and the Rev MT. Stogdhill. The board was elect ed for term of two years.

 Site and Donation Offered.

Selma. April 7.-tspecial)-At an early hour this morning in the western part of the city Reuben Jones' colored, was shot to death by his stepson. Henry Davis. The affair was the result of a quarrel that started early in the night between Jones. his wife and the latter's daughter, Hattie Davis.
 Jones held a title in some property and his wife and two children have been help ing him pay for it. It was about this property that the trouble arose. although it Is claimed that jealousy of the mans attention to his stepdaughter which the latters' brother. who did the killing, de- cided to put a stop to, was the main cause. A .s2-calibre pistol was used. the bullet entering the negros neck, evidently severing the jugular vein.
