PIC IRON OUTPUT
 IS DECREASING

New York, September 11.-Last week a for the iron industry. Business in both finished and crude material was con- tracted and is being followed by de- creased operations at the finish Hills and the blowing out of blast furnaces.
 Pig iron output since September 1 has been at the rate of less than 25.6Oo,0 GOO tons annually, or a decrease of 100000 in the rate of production since the high point in February. Even the present rate,
 it is evident, is too much for current re- quirements.
 In the central west, where the heaviest accumulation of iron Is carried merchant furnace stocks increased nearly 5000 tons in August In other sections, with the possible exception of Alabama, stocks also increased the total estimated sur plus being about 100000 tons
 Sales of pig iron were disappointing, aggregating scarcely 5000 tons in all sections, or only half of the tonnage placed during the proceeding week.
 Railroads placed few more structural steel orders for bridge building, calling for about 5000 tons. No rail contracts were placed, but the Grand Trunk is in the market for 10000 tons. Interest Is developing in New York subway exten- sions which will call for .0O0 to 240 GOO tons of rolled steel according to the con tracts that may be placed, deliveries to extend over two or three years.
 A reduction of 433,000 tons in thrilled orders on the books of the Steel corpora ton during August indicates that new business last month was about 550.0o0 tons as shipments were close to 100000 tons.

HYDE IS COMING
 BACK FROM EUROPE

Washington, September 1.-(Special)- Letters of John Hyde, former statistician l of the department of agriculture, to his home in this city, saying that he has obtained passage for home In October, have revised the gossip accustomed by his. resignation and departure for Flu rope when the cotton scandal broke here in 1905.
 Soon after the leak in the crop-report- ing bureau was discovered, Mir Hyde recognized as the best-informed man in the department on the cotton situation rendered his resignation to Secretary Wilson, and 1t was accepted.
 MT Hyde's motive for his action has never been made clear to the public
 Secretary Wilson declared his faith in Mr Hyde when he accepted his resig- nation and this fact, together with the statisticians supposed familiarity with the details of the cotton crop reports deepened the mystery.
 Ii was learned this morning that Mir Hyde had recently been In communication with Secretary Wilson. This has given rise to a rumor that he is seeking gov ernment employment.
 According to members of Hydes fam fly, which has maintained a home In this city since his departure, he has had little employment while away. He went from England to Japan as the representative of a London cotton firm and some time afterward edited a Japanese paper.

CELEBRATION OF
 GREAT VICTORY

Toledo, O., September 1.-The ninety Erie, in which Com. Oliver H. Perry won the naval battle over the British that broke their control of Lake Erie and won for him everlasting fame. was most auspiciously celebrated at Put-in-Bay yesterday when commissioners from eight states, together with many notables from all parts of the country gathered together in joint session to arrange the details for a Perry centennial to be held at Put-in-Bay in 1913.

CURTAILMENT BY
 MILLS VERY HEAVY

Norfolk, Va, September 11.-One of the most unique cases in the history of race riots was presented today when Samuel L. Burton, a negro of Onancock. Va, entered suit for $100,000 against the town of Onancock and the board of supervisors of Accomac county in the United States court for damages alleged to have been done him in 1907. Burton claims that his business, amounting to s1O0O0 year, was broken up as a re- sult of a riot which occurred in Onan- cock on August 10, 1907, which caused him to flee for his life. He charges that the authorities of Opancock and Accomac county aided in the riot and caused him to spend almost year in iail before he was finally acquitted of a charge of murder as result of his anneal to the superior court of Virginia from a sentence of 10 years in the pen itentiary
 Another charge made by Burton Is that his place was burned by either the defendants named or at their in- stance and that property valued at s2b0O had been confiscated. He says he is still the victim of the conspiracy, as he is restrained from returning to his home on account of threats to do him bodily harm.

MILITARY AVIATORS
 READY FOR TRIALS

Grand Villes. France, September II. Military aviators who will take part in the French army maneuvers on the plains of Picardy arrived at inter- vals all through the day. All of the dirigibles and aeroplanes reported for duty with the exception of one by plane, which was damaged while pro- ceeding here. and everything IS ready for tomorrow's operations. The dirig- ble Payard- Clement made fine trip from Compiegen, during the course of which were made successful trials with a light wireless apparatus. The opera tor was able to communicate within a radius of 90 kilometers (5O miles). Heretofore the weight of the apparatus precluded the use of the wireless sys- tenn on French dirigibles.
 An automobile machine gun, especial lv designed to combat aeroplanes and dirigibles has also arrived The oper- ations of the aviators will be confined to scouting, reconnoitering and similar dutieS

an eight-gang blow being 32 feet. Then harrows are attached to each blow, so that the ground is plowed and har- rowed at one operation. Each of these machines will blow and harrow 72 acres per day at cost of approximately S63 On this particular farm there are five of these immense blows, costing S3S0C each.
 Now, these are the figures which distract the attention of the average reader from the facts. The use of such machinery as this is not possible ex- cept out on the praires of the west But machinery of different form, suit ed to the rolling country of Alabama would produce a very different result The owner of this 13,00O-acre farm is satisfied with a profit of little more than $2 per acre, or about $3O,000 for this years labor.
 l have just had a talk with Captain Kolb, who has charge of the farm ex- hibit at the approaching flair to be held here, and he tells me that he recently visited north Alabama, the great Tennessee valley country, and talked about wheat with some of the farm CTS up there, and they are growing 25 to 30 bushels of the finest wheat to every acre of these red hills, and al d mucn less cost per acre than ouI Kansas farmer. They have none oi these great expensive machines, and therefore have no fixed charges of wear and tear and rapid depreciation of these machines. One of the best farmers in the Tennessee valley told Captain Kolt that he would grow 30 bush els on every one of his 40 acres this year. Suppose there were 4000 acres in a body UT there grown to wheat this year. II would pI oduce 12O,0O0 bushels of wheat and at a much less cost than this Kan sas wheat can be grown.
 So, what is the fascination for wan derfng away out there to grow nine bushels of wheat on an acre when, ii we will just turn out eyes southward we will find much less work on much less land to grow 30 bushels to ar acre?
 After all is said and done, doesn't it seem as though it were really a grea1 system of advertising that is carrying people to this western desert? Hard ly a paper can be read which hasn'1 something to say about the wonder ful CD productions out there. There seems to be a system of publicity fl this regard second only to that which keeps Roosevelt's name always before the people. wonder if 1t would be possible to induce some of these greai northern publications to publish an ac- count of the wonderful results at the great Derby farm, in our own black belt?

TEXAS RANGER IS
 BACK IN HARNESS

Austin, Tex, September 11.-(Special.)- J. Capt. w. J. CBilD Mcdonald, who re- signed from the command of a state ranger camp four years ago to accept the office of state revenue agent, will again become a member of the band of fighting men with whom he served for more than a quarter of century.
 Preparations are being made by Adjut. Gen. J. O. Newton to reorganize the ranger service, a place will be made for Captain Mcdonald, and it is probable he will be given back his old command. The veteran frontiersman is anxious to get back on the firing line.
 There was not enough excitement in his present job to suit him. Another thing that worried him is that he was obliged to lay aside his shooting irons'' when he quit the ranger service to take the job of state revenue agent It did not occur to him when he accepted the appointment of revenue agent that he would have to cease carrying his pistols. He continued to wear them for several days after he took his new position Gov ernor Campbell heard of it and called him into his office.
 Bill hear that you are still wearing your guns,'' said the governor. "Is 1t true?" "Why. certainly, governor, you know I could not get along without them"
 The governor told him it was in~viola- tion of the law for him to carry weapons; that he was no longer a peace officer and would have to lay them aside. But governor, I would not know what to do without these two guns; if I didn t have them on somebody might throw n me-" pleaded Captain Mcdonald. He discarded the weapons but 1t was several months before he quit wearing the belt and holster

 He said that for years he had used every kind of medicine he could procure, yet he was never free from pain and distress.
 When told by the doctors that the treat ment was practically painless and that he would not have to go to bed, he be- came so skeptical that he almost decided he would not continue with the treat ment; however he continued, and pretty soon he began to sit up and take mo-

 No' wonder the Electro-Radio experts are treating people from other states and cities when the patients return to their homes and spread the glad tidings that at last science has arisen above hide bound dogmas and progressive physicians can give surcease from pain and dis tress without resort to cold steel and poison or other archaic weapons of off, fense.
 At the offices this week they will ex- anime free of charge, and by acting quickly you may learn of a really special and extraordinary offer. An offer to be withdrawn permanently very soon, as 1t is quite outside of the companys fnan- cial plans.
