GADSDEN COMPANY ADVERT|SES STATE
High-Grade Pig Iron to Be Stamped as an Alabama
 Product

A." for Alabama, will be stamped on the pig iron turned out by the Ala bama company at Gadsden in >the fs- ture.
 An "A' will be imprinted on .ach pig" The result of this will be that wherever the Alabama company's iron goes it cannot and will not be confused with others. This will avoid a lot of correspondence and questioning of analysis and the like arising out of the mixture of several kinds of pig iron on the same consumers yards.
 The Alabama company is completing repairs on one of it's Gadsden stacks, and will be ready to resume there at an early date.
 The Alabama company has completed the installation of it's pig iron cast ing machinery at it's Gadsden furnaces and is about ready to begin its opera tion. Inspection has been made by the high officials of the company, includ- ing Vice President Coffin and the saues manager, MT. Potter. It has been found to be working satisfac- torily.
 The vlute of the pig casting machine is that the iron is thus nodded into uniform size and comes clean of sand There will be no variation in the product of the furnaces, and uniformity of size will enable easier handling.

 more than 100 farmers and dairy men, some of them living five miles away, were searching the adjoin- ing woods for the negro. At one lime it was thought they had found his trail near EdgevOod, about three miles from the scene of the hOIdup, but it was lost short time later.

COTTON M|LLSARE REDUCING WAGES Mill at AvondaIe Effected With Others, in Several Parts
 of the State
 

A 20-percent wage reduction at the Avondale mills in Birmingham and the various other 4 mills owned by the Conner interests has been announced eff fective next Monday. Tie cotton mills affected include those at Avondale in Birmingham, at Pell City and in Siluria and Sylaeauga.
 z. H. Mangum, superintendent of the Avondale mills, stated last night that the cut which will be e-made Monday is really only Il per cent but that the company is also taking off a nine percent increase which was given to employees September l.
 "On the first of September" said MT Mangum, Eve reduced the hours at the mills from 50 a week to 55 week which was equivalent to an increase in wages of nine per cent. This increase was not really justified at the time by conditions. It has now become neces- sary to take off the increase given at that time and at the same time make a further general reduction of Il per cent This action is found necessary in view of present conditionS"

represents, the speaker Sstlu that CnflS- tian leadership required an equally strong captain as that of industry and he was glad to welcome such q man in Bishop Cannon.
 LEADERSHIP
 "The success of any movement depends upon it's leadership, the speaker said John Wesley, the founder of Methodisfn, was a kinsman of the Duke of Yelling ton, that noble cheftan who broke the power of Napolean. Wesley consecrated his ability to the saving of men, not to destroying them. Methodism could never have reached such proportions that il has without men like that.
 T believe that God in His wisdom. has sent a man to Birmingham who is made after the model of Wesley and Ausbery. We welcome him and his family to our district"
 J. A. Vann. president of the board of stewards, in his welcome to the bishop, said he hoped his family would join the church, the First Methodist. Referring to the board of stewards he said there were all kinds of men to be found in their numbers. Men of moderate means and wealthy men, lawyers, doctors, and politicians. There is no man on the board who is not leader in his profession The . speaker closed his welcoming address with a request that the bishop turn q deaf ear to any one who might talk to him about taking away their pastor. w. F.. Hendricks, pastor of the High l land Methodist church, said he was very happy to be back home again that il had been II years since he had lived in Birmingham and he was delight ed to come back Especially glad, he said, under the leadership of the resident
 bishop. Birmingham, he continued, is an

 John R. Peper of Memphis. personal
 friend of Bishop Cannon, was present.
 He made q short talk in which he said
 that he could assure the people that if
 they stood behind Bishop Cannon that
 they would always find him willing to
 do his part for the upbuilding of the church.
 BISHOP RESPONDS Bishop Cannon expressed his hearty ap- preciation for the reception that had been rendered him. He said he was con- scious the tribute paid was not meant for the man, but for the cause that he represented. Students of ecclesiastical history will have to testify to the fact the greatest is Methodism. Nothing will compare with | it except the Roman Catholic church and we have the advantage of that church in that our doctrine is decidedly more democratic. It is without doubt the most efficient church organization in the world. Tonight as we Sit together we all realize that organization of itself is not worth while. Simply to meet and pay tribute to the bishop is not wortl while. unless the great underlying pur' pose of the organization is felt.

 Conference Leader

Addresses of welcome from Dr. George Stuart, Rev. Rob- ert Echols, Rev. Keener Mat thews, Rev. w. R. Hendricks and J. A. Yam followed an in- formal reception rendered Bish- op James Cannon last night at the First Methodist church.
 Among those in the receiving line were Bishop Cannon and family, Dr. and Mrs. George R. Stuart, Rev. Echols, Rev. Mat thews and the board of stew ards of the First church. A long line of guests passed the receiving line into the main auditorium, where the speeches of welcome and songs by a male quartet held the throng for more than two hours.
 The whole religious world admits that : the Methodist church has the best spiritual government in the world,'' said Dr. Stuart "The author of this system sought divine aid in working it out. It is a wonderful machine to bring the world to God, this organization wrought of God himself, This great organized force stands like an army for God. To Bishop Cannon, the leader of this great organization in this district, we extend to him and his family the right hand of cordial greeting to our church and city,
 A METHODIST CITY
 Reviewing the work that has been ac- complshed by the Methodist of this dis trict in the past few years. Rev. Robert Echols, presiding elder of the Birming- ham district, welcomed the newly-ar- rived bishop to the city. Birmingham is peculiarly a Methodist city, he said, ''t1ere are g churches, with membership of about 25,O0o. We are planning an educational campaign that is going to require leadership. We are therefore glad 10 welcome Bishop Cannon because of the great undertakings that we are as- suming.'
 Rev. Keener Matthews of the Bessemer district stated that he could say very little from the community standpoint as he had only arrived here the day be- fore and was not familiar with the con ditions, but that from the laymen that he had met and the pastors that he al- ready knew he felt that his work could not have been thrown with more splen- did body of people.
