Bessemer September e-(Special )-The first run of pig iron at No. 2 furnace of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway company will be made tomorrow and while the output at first will not be large it will be increased with each run until the full capacity is reached. This makes the second stack to resume within the past 30 days, after a long shut down.

 Mir. and Mrs. A. A. Persons have re- ceived a letter from their son, Archie A. Persons, who is camping at Duck Lake, Col. telling of an exciting experi- ence he and his friend, Nod Moore, had with an immense eagle. The boys were fishing when it swooped down and stuck his talons in the shoulders of young Moore, who is only 15 years of age. Both of the boys immediately began fighting the big bird and after a hard struggle succeeded in killing It. but not before it had lacerated Moore's arm and shoulder with beak and talons so badly that it was necessary to take him to Denver, a distance of 60 miles, for treatment. When measured the eagle was eight feet and nine inches from tip to tip of his wings and is said to be one of the largest ever seen in this country. The bird will be mounted and brought home.

sion to adjust the foreign exchange situation then.
 France is sending two of her ablest flnanciers, Octave Homberg, of the for e.gn office. and Ernest Mallet regent of the Bank of France.
 When these men sit down tomorrow in MT Morgan's library they will face a financial problem of proportions never assumed before In the western hemisphere. Not only is the immediate future of Great Britain, France and Russia involved, but New York finan- ciers believe continuance of the pros perity of American exporters likewise Is vitally affected.
 Whether Great Britain and her allies ill continue their lavisch spending in the markets of the United States, these financier assert, depends almost who'll ly on the success of the commissions s work Unchecked buying they declare, cannot continue unless way Is founo to pay the bills and the only plausible way seen ahead at the present time Is 10 lend Great Britain, France and Rus sia the money with which to buy
 How much money Is needed, upon what terms it will be borrowed, what collateral will be offered; how lonS tile mammoth loan will run and nu- inerous other details are what the com- mission will endeavor to adjust
 It was pointed out today that any ar engagements that may be made will De hetween the bankers. state and ma tjonal, and the allied commissioners Officials here think for them to take any part in deliberations which con cern only the allies might be interpret ed as unneutral.
 It is realized that the establishment of a large credit fund in the United States for the benefit of the allies may result eventually in the rediscount Of acceptances based on the exportation of goods bought with that fund and destined for the allies.

NO APPROPRIATION
 FOR MERCY HOME
The Mercy Home Industrial School Is an Entirely
 Separate Institution

Several days ago the legislature ap- piopriated s50o0 per year for the Mercy Home Industrial School for Girls. When this announcement was made the board of managers of the Mercy Home was showered with congratulations in that that institution had been recognized and assisted by the state.
 These congratulations were somewhat dsconcerting to the managers because the state has not assisted the Mercy Home and the need this winter for funds is greater than ever. The Mercy Home Industrial school is an entirely separate institution from the Mercy Home for little children at Eleventh avenue and Twenty second street
 In view of the misunderstanding the the Mercy Home board
 The board of managers of the Mercy Home desire to have it understood that the recent appropriation of $5ooo by the legislature was not made to the Mercy Home of Birmingham. but to the Mercy Home Industrial School for Girls, a state institution located at Woodlawn The Mercy Home is an institution for friend less children doing local and county work and therefore could not expect state ap- propriation.
 There seems to be some confusion in the public mind concerning the ap- rropriation and 1t Is very important that the distinction be made. as the city has withdrawn its appropriation from the home, and the board is facing the winter with the serious problem of caring for the hundred and more little children now under it's charge.
 ''The institution must look to the public fer a large generosity which will enable 1t to meet this crisis.

Berlin Press Comments

Berlin, September 9.-(Via London, F :2S D. m.)--The removal of Grand Duke Nich- olas from the position of commander in chief of the Russian armies. Is the text of lengthy articles in Berlin newspapers today. The Tageblatt says the grand duke was removed because notwithstand- ing his undeniable gifts in strategy of retreating, he bears the responsibility for the Russian catastrophes in Poland and in Galicia, his influence being shattered in consequence.
 A view more frequently expressed Is that the retirement of the grand duke was dictated by political reasons, and aimed particularly at the party repre- sented by the present Russian govern ment. which had grown too strong.
 The Lokal Anzeiger says the dis placement of the grand duke removes the governmental party's strongest supporter. and means loss to the army, which saw in him the appointed leader. This newspaper pays a frank and generous tribute to the former commander in chief as a brave and hon. crable enemy. and an able leader.
 The Morgen Poste. on the other hand, terms Grand Duke Nicholas "a brutal and hloodthirsty man without leader ship talent" and "the destroyer of his army; his land, and his people,
 1t adds that the moment demands a leader of titanic strength and asserts, That this complete cipher as a leader of Russian armies" has been discredit- ed by his defeats.
 The Vossische Zeltung finds in Elm L. peror Nicholas move, Final proof of the approaching breakdown of the army and state" It asserts that the government, in view of repeated de- feats, saw itself compelled to summon new leaders at army headquarters and the political position of the grand duke made this decision of the Emperor nec- essary
 The Boersen Zeitung views the change as having been directed against certain coterie in tie internal political life of Russia, and believes it may be calculated also to impress the other members of the Quadruple Entente with the feeling that Russia is doing everything possible toward warding off impending evils.
 The Tages Zeituns says:
 "One hardly errs in ascribing, along with the military significance just as important as political significance brought on the change. Grand Ducal parties, whose head was the former commander in chief has suffered very real defeat"

TO SHIP CONTRABAND
 LIQUORS FROM STATE

Montgomery, September .s.-(speciaI.) ) The Chamberlain bill, providing that contraband and other liquors may be shipped out of the state, will be re- ported favorably in the senate tomor- TOW by the committee on temperance.
 The chief purpose of the bill, which passed the house several weeks ago, is to provide machinery for disposing of the large quantities of liquor seized since prohibition went into effect. It also provides machinery for disposing ot any private stock of liquor which may not have fallen into the sheriff 5 hands.
 In cases where liquor has been con- fiscated by the sheriffs office the owners of such liquor, upon signing a certificate, may have such liquor shipped out of the state under the supervision of the sheriff, who is to be paid reasonable fee for such service.

HEADS OF JACKSON NEGRO BANK
PAY ALL DEpOSITORS IN FULL

The Southern Bank, a negro f.
nancial institution of this city,
which was placed in the hands of a
receiver some time since, has named
settlement in full with its credit
ors.
In order to accomplish this three
officers of the bank, President l..
K. Atwood, Vice-President G. N
Miller and Cashier 5. A. McKis-
sick. sacrificed their personal prop
erty, which was in no way involved
IN the banks affairs. They felt.
however, that they owed it as a
duty to the depositors that there
be no losses sustained by members
of their race who had placed money
in their institution. and according
ly they mortgaged their own prop
erty in order to raise funds and
make it possible to pay all credit
ors in full.
The liquidation work was hand
led by the Jackson State National
Bank, and checks have been sent
to all creditors in full settlement
of their claims.-Jackson Daily

What One Man and Two Sons Accom-
pIished.

Clifton Ellzey. a prosperous and
progressive farmer of route ], was
transactiDg business in town Satur-
day, and made the Sentinel a pleas
ant call. He made on his fine
farm last year, with no other help
than his two stalwart sons, 1000
bushels Of corn. 1000 bushels of
oats, 100 tons of hay. 300 gallons
of syrup, 300 bushels of potatoes,
500 bushels of peas. He raised and
sold 5000 pounds of pork at nine
cents pound. and sold the oats at
rs cents per busheI. Besides this,
his other products sold at good
prices, and he also sold $40 worth
of turnips.
This is a gl;ttering example Of
what can be dcne IN this section
without raising a pound of cotton,
and goes to show that this country
returns golden harvest when the
land is intelIigently and industri-
ously cultivated. 1t is unnecessary
to add that Mr.. EIIzey has healthy
