Pratt City News

A severe storm visited Pratt City yes terday afternoon, considerable damage re- sulting. A strong wind, accompanied by an electric display and heavy rains, pre- vailed for nearly an hour. The tele- phone and telegraph wires located on the Southside, particularly on Alma avenue were blown down, and the roof of a frame dwelling belonging to Louis Perolia was torn from the building by the heavy wind. The roads near Village creek were almost impossible.
 The telephone service was interrupted for several hours. A large force of men was quickly on the scene to repair the damage. No injuries were reported from the storm.
 The fire department was called out yes terday about 12:30 o'clock to a fire at a dwelling house on Alma avenue, occupied by Henry Porter, a negro. Owing to the distance from the fire station the flames had made considerable headway when the volunteers arrived. They did valiant service, however, and soon had the flames subdued. The roof was almost entirely destroyed, but the rest of the building was only slightfly damaged. Porter, who is a miner, had a number of mining caps In the house which exploded from the heat. One of them struck Fireman Marvin Tay- Tor on the hand, infiicting painful wound

If the data is correct, it was about 2 agent at squires; Mo, was awakened from an afternoon nap to be faced by stalwart looking chap, fresh from the country, with "d-e-t-e-r-m- -i-n-a-t-i-o-n' written all over his face. That chap wanted job and communicated confiden- tially to the station agent that he wished to be president of the Frisco some day. MT Lightner-yea Alfred. the young hero, was MT. Ligfitner-was thereupon given job sweeping the station platform.
 Some careless person will say that he had poor chance from such a beginning. But he is here in Birmingham as gen eral manager of the Belt railroad, the executive agent for the Frisco lines, re- porting only to the president, and still bears that same Missouri brand of youth fitness. While he is modest, at the same time you can't place the ultimate ambition about the presidency far from him. He may be vice president next week. No one can tell. In fact, Lloyds of London will bet you any amount that he will-or won't
 That sweeper started in to sweep, ana he Is still sweeping. When he was de- tailed to handle the Birmingham district with its many complex questions, he was given job that called for an abundance of tact, a brand of diplomacy of the Whitelaw Reid variety, which, seasoned with good fellowship, meant the winnings for the Frisco. He was the star twirler IJo hos fon ambitious persons without letting them onto his curves-excuse baseball terms and he is strong and wise enough to waltz around few more.
 He is perhaps one of the best general

Rad Nerro Fought officer

On a lone mountain side south of the city yesterday afternoon Officer Black of the Anniston police force engaged in desperate hand-to-hand fight with John Gillian.
 Persons living in the neighborhood had seen two negroes acting in very suspicious manner and. believing them to be members of band or thieves and house robbers, the officer was put on their trail He prepared to arrest them on a charge of loiter- ing but the bravado manifested by Gil- liam partially frustrated his plans. He was fined s125 and costs when arraigned before Recorder Green Friday morn ing.

agents in the south, and we have some pretty smart ones in the city of Birming- ham. He is a member of the clubs a good comrade, can equal Carl Gray in telling stories, and when it comes to tell ing folks how fine the Frisco is he has any story by one Harry Lauder beaten to an unrecognizable pulp.
 And with it all he is an exception. He is not one bit selfish and gives to Bir- mingham the benefit of a masterly brain by assisting in municipal problems
 He has been known to go long way out of his regular route to serve this city for which he has fond and lasting affection. He insisted recently that cer- tain trackages should be changed which cost his company a tidy sum of money simply because it would help the looks of section of the city and lessen grade crossing dangers. I would not say that his company did not come in for some reward, but the fact remains that his ad- vice was of untold value to BirnlTgham. In many questions like this he walks proudly up to the bat for Birmingham and lets out a long drive.
 He started out to sweep clean and he is sweeping.
 The Frisco people here think he fs the best leader if the district and he never forgets to hand out a few smooth kind words sandwiched with a smile, to the ooys.
 One of the officers here said once: ''Why, if Lightner told me to jump through Salt Lake City on that map on our window would do it in minute" That is the way they all feel
 He may sweep to that presidency-one can never tell.
 Mr Lightner has two sons One of them swept all the honors>recently at the Uni versity of Chicago.

Dun,s weekly Review

New York, September 9.-R G. Dunn x Co.'s weekly review tomorrow will say of trade:
 There is a continuance of former mixed conditions of trade and industry which is less pronounced in productive sections than in the disturbing markets. It shows most early in the speculative and finan- cial centers which are exceedingly sensi- tive to political influences. It is felt in some industries more than others, there being an uneven development of trade. But in spite of the reaction "a vast aggregate of business is being car ried over. making really high average of transactions.
 The profit of commerce is, however, not SO evident as it's volume, the margin between cost and price being narrowed and leading In some cases. notably in cotton spinning. to suspension os operations. While conservatism among buyers makes for purchases, limited to current needs, yet there is no sign of any collapse of confidence, the crops are turning out much better than feared. the banks are in secure position and there is for the most part more optimistic feeling as to the immediate future in spite of the ap- proach of the somewhat critical elec- tions.
 Some check to the recent rapid decline in pig iron production is indicated in the returns covering the output during Au- gust which, while showing the smallest total since July, 1909, compared closely with the figures from the prevous month. Inquiries for pig iron are increasing in the Pittsburg district but actual new bus -sness shows light expansion.
 In finished lines specifications are in- creasing and several suspended ship nents of bars, plates and light struc- tural materials are being featured. Tin plate continues active and orders on band insure operations throughout the year.
 Reports from trading jobbers of dry goods indicate steadier distribution but fhe volume of business is still below that of recent active years. Mills making cot ton goods are still conservative in their desires to operate for stock goods and curtaflment is going on steadily.
 Some export business is being done with Australia. the Philippines and South America. but trade with the far east is very dull.
 Distinct improvement is noted in the demand for silks and the yarn trade is m a steadier footing.
 Footwear lines continue firm. Jobbers huv cautiously and wholesalers hold of for lower prices. Trade in leather is stil / ouiet and though some increase in the demand was noted week or so ago. nc further improvement in business has since occurred.

SOME IMPROVEMENT
 IN GENERAL TRADE Jobbers Report Larger Distri-
 button of Fall Goods
MONEY SUPPLY LOWER
West Where Marketing of Grain Helps Business in Almost
 Every Line

New York September 9-Bradstreets s tomorrow will say:
 Developments of the week have been largely favorable. including, as they have better weather and crop reports, larger distribution of fall goods by job bers and retailers and cheerful reports from some branches of the iron and steel trade. some resumption in the num- Der of idle cars and a shading in prices of leading farm products, due to better crop reports and larger movement, lead ing to the hope of a resumption of ex- port trade. All these have combined to make for a rather more optimistic feel ing in general trade and industrial lines, but in financial circles there is little apparent gain in activity or strength, owing largely to a continuance of politi- cal activity. the rapid reduction of money supplies at the country's banking centers and the fear of pinch in supplies later, with possible effect upon rates.
 The enlargement in the jobbing and re- tail trade is entirely uniform. The best reports come from the west, where un- precedented marketing of cereals at good prices helps trade and collections. At some southwestern cities house trade is smaller. as buyers have returned home, but travelling mems orders are better On the Pacific coast there is more doing in trade, but collections still lag. The cot ton crop movement has begun at the south and trade and collections feel some impetus therefrom. Eastern trade ad- vices are of some expansion in demand, but here conservatism as to buying far ahead visible throughout the country, is most marked and there is less optimism expressed than in the western advices.
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending September were 173. against 179 last week. 191 in the same week of 1909, 191 in 1908, 172 in 1907 and 164 in 1906
