 MISTAKE IN FILING CAUSES MUDDLE
Dadeville Candidates File Petitions With Judge of Probate In-
 stead of Mayor

Dadeville, September s.-(Special.)- question has been raised relative to the municipal election to be held on the 18th which presents at least unique and unusual situation.
 There are three aspirants for the mayoralty and Il citizens willing to serve as aldermen.
 In every case the petition of these citizens to become candidates has been filed before the probate judge of the county.
 Section 395 of the municipal law ex- pressly states that they should have been filed with the mayor: therefore Mayor Oliver has no legal notice that any candidate exists for municipal hon ors. And since it is now less than 20 days before the election is called it is too late for names to be filed.
 It presents an interesting question. and opinions differ among the local lawyers, some holding that the election may result in court proceedings, should the names be printed on the ticket 10 be voted, and advising that blank ticket be printed and the names. writ ten by the voter, in order that the law may be complied with. Others hold that it would be all right to print the names filed with the judge.
 In the meantime the citizens are hay ing some good natured fun at the ex- pense of the would-be candidates.

ULSTER UN|ON|STS
 WILL FORCE CRISIS
When Parliament Reassem- bles Atmosphere Will Be
 Superheated

London, September S.-tSpecial )-Home rule agitation is about to enter another phase, as the Ulster unionists seem reso- lute in their declared intentions to force a crisis at the earliest possible moment rather than wait two years under the operation of the parliament act. When parliament reassembles October the atmosphere promises to be super heated as the result of a series of meet ings in the chief centers of population pre- limnary to big demonstration in Bel fast on September 2S, which will be "I1- ster day"
 These meetings, organized by the Ulster unionist council, will have especial sig nificance. They will be addressed by Sir Edward Carson, whom MT. Churchill has repeatedly warned of the personal danger he runs in ''fomenting mutiny' in north east Ireland, and by F. F. Smith, who, before he left for New York, asserted in the oxford and Cambridge Review that Ere parliament reassembles events will have taken place in Ulster which will convince the most incorrigible optlmist on the treasury bench of the reality of the position they Cthe ministers) have to face"
 September 20 is the date for the opening meeting. But in the call issued by the Ulster unonists they direct the particu- lar attention of British home rulers to the resolution duopted In thlcago at the re- cent biennial convention of the Ancient Order of Hibernians-the resolution de- claring that nothing else than absolute independence will ever be considered a final settlement"
 They ask how any reliance can be placed upon the 'namby- -pamby promises of Redmond to defer to imperial paria- ment," as against the demands of this carefully considered and solemnly made request of the most wealthy and power full Irish nationalist organization in the world"

Specifications Continue To Be Heavy in Iron and
 Steel Market

New York, September S.-rhe brilliant August statements concerning sales, ship ments and production of finished stee products overshadowed the sharp falling off in business in most lines. Under pres ent conditions, however, a decrease in new tions continue heavy and the mills are sible
 One of the most important features at the moment Is the scarcity of semi- finished steel. Many steel companies are securing the country for billets and sheet bars and the Steel corporation has just closed contracts for 24,0o tons
 The continued active demand. together with the high prices for pig tin are re- sponsible for an advance of S2 per ton on tin plate for this years shipment and a further advance Is expected for 1913 de- liveres. Wrought pipe advanced s2 per ton and light rails $ 20 per ton
 The railroads placed many small orders for rails ranging from 150a to 9100 tons each, including 5000 tons for Missouri Pa olfie. The principal car contract was 20E hopper cars for the Baltimore and Ohio. Locomotives and bridge orders were light. Steel building contracts were sharply con tracted.
 Buying of pig iron in all sections devel- oped less than half of the tonnage ordered during the preceding week but there is a large buying power still in the market. The output of all kinds of pig iron or the first of September was at the rate of over 30, 300,0Oo tons annually.
