GADSDEN

Gadsden, July 8.-(Special.)-Big Wills Valley, situated about seven miles from this city, was the scene of a wholesale shooting affray Wednesday evening. when three men, John Jenkins, Pace Jenkins and Henry Langley, were badly wounded during an alleged attack upon the home of J. D. Woods. Today five ot the men were placed under arrest. charged with attempted murder, being re- leased on s1,00O bonds. They are Sam Langley, Henry Langley, Pace Jenkins, Amos Jenkins and J. D. Woods. The officers are now engaged in serving war rants on several other members of the families, including some of the women. According to the version of the affair at the sheriff's office, there was trouble early in the day between the Woods family and the Jenkins family, two of the boys getting into a fight. This was later followed by trouble between the women of the families, it is said. In the evening the Jenkins and Langley forces moved upon the Woods home in full bat tie array and were met by Woods, who, armed with a shotgun, warned them to keep away. At this point accounts diff fer, as both sides claim the other opened fire first The facts bear out the fact that Woods was uninjured and the three 4 Henry Langley, were literally riddled with shot from the gun operated by Woods. This morning the parties to .he affair came to this city and warrants were issued which included participants on both sides of the feud.
 The county board of health, repre- sented by pr. C. l.. Murphree, and the Medical Association of Gadsden have united in a demand upon the city of Gadsden to take immediate steps to chlorinate the city water to save the city from the influx of bacteria now bens. accumulated ip~the city water owing to pollution above the city on the Coosa river. There has appeared some opposition on the part of some city off cials to accept the report of Dr. Shahan. and it is said that the state will be asked to analyze the water. pr. Mur- phree has clearly pointed out what he says is the law on the issue and has urged the city to immediate action.
 The Alabama State Negro Business League is in session Tn this city and speakers are present from all over ths state, with several representatives from the Tuskegee Institute.
 Officials have been named and plans completed for the city primary which tales place July 26. The absent voting law will be il. operation for the first time in city primary and many will taks advantage of it.

Four Large Pipe Plants
 HaUe Resumed Operations

The four large iron pipe shops of the United States Cast Iron Pipe Company at Birmingham. Bessemer, Chattanooga and Anniston have resumed operations after shutdown of two weeks
 They are among the largest consumers of pig iron in the southern states. each having daily melting capacity of 300 to $50 tons.
 They manufacture water gas and flange pipe. the latter for the use of oil wells.
 Arrangements have been made with the iron furnaces for supplying the fac tories with pig iron and it is believed that this supply will be henceforth regu- lar and sufficient for operations. The situation is not an easy one. but it is felt that interruptions of operations will be avoided.
 f Numbers of cars available for trans portation of pig iron. but not suited to brought into service and some special emergency efforts have been put forth with success.
 The pipe market is firm at s75 for four inch sizes and s7O for six >nches and upwards. A number of municipalities, which had intended laying pipe lines, has been prevented by failure to dispose of bonds or by the bond issues not be- ing the equivalent of the price of pipe The demand for flange pipe for oil well use is especially keen and in excess of the manufacturing capacity in that line. Recent. orders have been booked with specification of delivery three months hence, no earlier guarantee being securable.
 If large sizes of water pipe were in de- nIand at all like that for the smaller sizes the shops would be operating al near capacity, but the pits where the larger sizes are cast are not busy. The money now going into pipe is for ex- |tension of systems already in existence and not for new ones. Few municipali- ties seem to have sufficient funds with which to exploit new projects of an ex- tensive nature.

If is bound to have the blues and
grumble like the deuce. Their every
blooming thing he views will do for an
excuse. Where'er he looks he faces
wrong and misery and strife: oh.
something always comes along to take
the joy from life. He has IA small
attack of flu. and it has knocked him
flat he stands around and says ''ker-
choo - and stronger words than that.
He tells his woes to other cranks in
voice of doleful pitch, and doesn't give
a word of thanks that he is spared the
itch. The day is dismal, and he brays,
and tears his hair and robe, and he for
gets the pleasant days when sunshine
soaked the globe. He sadly walls the
same old song, or plays it on a fife,
There's always something comes along
to take the joy from life" And when
one views the world like this. he is "a
hopeless case; he wouldn't know II slice
of bliss if pushed against his face. A
ton of grief upon this hick is most Sc

some kind of kick if he were being
lynched.-Walt Mason.
