HAD TO LEAVE
Greenville, December 31.—(Special.)—The
fcmous Madame Calve, queen of grand
jpera, spent yesterday in Greenville, and,
ronderful to relate, was to appear at the
ipera house in the evening. The Grau

Orleans to New York, being detained all
lunday at Flomaton and here yesterday
m account of the great damage done the
Louisville and Nashville road by the
leavy rain Saturday.
Two passenger trains at the depot
iwaited orders to move on, while a large
lumber of travelers scattered over the
town, many of whom were from the
North, and enjoyed the novelty of a day
fei Dixie. The manager of the opera com
pany, and the manager of a vaudeville
fioinpany acceded to the solicitation of
the opera house managers here, and the
lews spread like wild fire that the town
pras to have an unparlleled evening, both
pompanies to make the affair a rare
treat. All the belated travelers were en
thused and the citizens delighted. But
it 7:30 four blasts from the engine an
nounced that the road was repaired and
the passengers hurried to their cars,
leaving keen disappointment behind them.
Dr. J. B. Holmes of Atlanta was one
if the belated travelers. He has warm
f"lends here who were delighted to see

JACKSON SHERIFF
MAKES BIG CATCH
TWO ALLEGED CRIMINALS AR
RESTED WHO ARE SAID TO
HAVE ESCAPED FROM JAIL IN
TENNESSEE
Scottsbr.ro, December 31.—(Special.)—
Sheriff D. O. Austin affected the capture
of two alleged Important Tennessee crim
inals yesterday morning near Hollywood,
this county. The two men are Sterling
McDaniel and Charley, alias "Shug” Tal
lent, both white men, wanted at Athens,
McMlnn County, Tennessee, where they
escaped Jail on November 26.
McDaniel is under a charge of man
slaughter, and a reward of $150 was of
fered for his capture. He is said to have
previously served two terms in the peni
tentiary.
Tallent is wanted for disturbing public
worship.
Sheriff Austin was assisted in the ar
rests by E. L. Roberts, assistant prose
cuting attorney for McMinn County. The
men were located by Sheriff Austin, who
had been on the lookout for them, and
who had notified the Tennessee officials of
their whereabouts.
Yesterday Sheriff J. S. Lewis and Mr.
Roberts arrived, when Sheriff Austin and
Mr. Roberts left to make the arrests.
Lewis stayed behind, fearing the men,
who were personally acquainted with
him, might recognize him and make their
escape.
Sheriff Austin, Deputy Lewis and Mr.
Roberts left last night for Athens with
the prisoners.
J. M. Card of Chattanooga has pur
chased from E. G. Wright the Rosson
property on the north side of the public
square. 1 he building owned by Mr. Cord,
situated on the east side of the square,
will be moved to the Rasson site as soon
as the old buildings can be removed. The
property acquired by Mr. Cord is the most
valuable in town.
The independent telephone line, under
construction from Paint Rock to Steven
son, will be shortly completed. Most of
the poles are in position, and the wires
are being rapidly put up. Headquarters
will be in Scottsboro, and W. L. Moody
the promoter of the enterprise, states that
he has been offered inducements to carry
the line into Huntsville.
The Scottsboro municipal election is
about a month hence. Much interest is
manifested, and several citizens have been
suggested to succeed Mayor Snodgrass,
who has announced that he would not be
a candidate again.

IMS YEAR
OF PROSPERITY
Don's Review Shows Wonderful
Progress in Manofacto ing
IRON AND STEEL RESPONDED
From a Condition of Glut In the Mar
ket There Arose Almost a Fam
ine Greatly Exaggerated
By Stubborn Strike.
New York, December 81.—Dun's review
will say on January 4:
Most marvelous of all the phenomlnal
evidences of advancement In business dur
ing the year was the progress made In
manufacturing. It Is Impossible to be too
extravagant in delineating the movements
of the industrial world. Never in the
history of this country, or any
other nation, has such development
occurred with the space of twelve
month. The expansion of produc
tive capacity was enormous, the improv
ed methods of work and organization were
conspicuous, wise economies were intro
duced, but more than all other factors
that made for permanent prosperity was
the conservative reslstence to price in
flation.
Iron and Steel.
After the reaction of 1900 the level of
prices remained depressed for some
months but gradually responded to the in
creasing demand as excessive accumula
tions were absorbed. From a condition
of glut there arose almost a famine great
ly exaggerated by the stubborn strike.
Some idea of the changes in size of sup
plies may be found in the comparison of
furnace stocks of pig iron as published
In the Iron Age which amounted to 648,
663 tons on January 1. These figures stead
ily declined throughout the year, until
only 223,462 tons were held on December 1.
Aside from the slight fall during the
period affected by the strike there ap
pears almost a steady gain In production,
closing with the maximum quantity on re
cord. While the output on December 1
was at the unparalleled rate of 10,887,572
tons yearly, it is obvious that the actual
production for the year was much small
er, although quite sufficient to establish
a new record, and judging by the amount
of business already' placed for 1902 the
current year's yield may not unreasona
bly be expected to surpass seventeen mil
lion tons. Output of rails was beyond
all records, yet contracts for 1902 run as
high as 3,000,000 tons over last year.
Minor Metals.
Re-adjustment of quotations was secur
ed during December after a year of un
reasonably Inflated prices. Copper was
stubbornly held at 17 cents most of the
time, but when the reaction began there
was a fall of four cents within a few
days. Tin advanced to 28% in June, but
fell to 22 cents in December. Similarly
with lead, the nominal price of 4% was
cut tc 4 cents. Tin plates <jlosed the
year where they opened, but in the in
terim there was an advance to (7 on ac
count of the famine that followed the
strike.
Coal and Coke.
All records of output for hard and Boft
coal were surpassed during 1901, despite
the scarcity of cars that retarded oper
ations. A feature of great advantage was
the expanding export movement which
reached more encouraging proportions
than in earlier years. In ten months the
value of shipments was (19,087,353, against
(17,820,864 the year previous. Coke ovens
made a phenomenal record, establish
ing a new high water mark of weekly
output at 244,529 tons late in November.
Leather Conditions.
An entire year of activity and an era
of high prices characterized the leather
market, but there has been no boom
such as existed during 1895 and resulted
in one of the most disastrous slumps ever
known in leather history. The rise in
values was steady and by easy stages,
and entirely legitimate inasmuch as it
was based on the laws o. supply and de
mand.
Market for Wool.
Further declines occurred in the price
of this staple during the opening months
of 1901 and the oottom was not reach
ed until July 1, when one hundred grades,
according to Coates Bros, circular, was
quoted at 17.06 cents. This represented a
loss of 31 per cent, from high point of
24.70 In December, 1899 With the absorp
tion of surplus stocks and general re
vival in the Industry the turning point
was reached in September. Further
strength and activity was in evidence
each succeeding month.
The Produce Markets.
While 1900 was the best year ever ex
perienced by domestic agricultural In
terests the opening year ot the new cen
tury was In many ways more profitable
and the two together have put the farm
ing population In much the most satis
factory position in the nation's history.
Formerly, the season of harvesting and
crop moving brought heavy borrowing
of funds at the east, but Interior con
ditions have changed to such an extent
that western banks are lenders at New
York and Chicago, and while there Is
still a large movement of money away
from the east during the fall months.
It Is of funds that were held there for
the account of Interior correspondent*-.
There Is a steady tendency to enlarge
the acreage sown In the leading crops,
yet supplies do not Increase, owing to
the better demand both for home con
sumption and export. Heat and drouth
caused a serious curtailment of the corn
crop which prov<s! the most Important
event of the year. While this Influence
naturally Induced an advance In price
that practically prohibited export and
thus seriously affected foreign commerce
It way by no mean an unmixed evil since
the return to growers was even larger
than In a year of normal production
while the enormous yield of wheat was
absorbed by stock feeding and foreign
consumers In places of corn.
Exports Not Reduced.
Meats naturally reflected the expensive
position of fodder and It was gratifying
to notice that exports were not material
ly reduced by the high lervel. Cotton pass
ed a season of wide variations In the
early months attaining the highest price
of the decade, but falling back sharp
ly as the spinning situation was ren
dered unfavorable by exorbutant raw
material. Crop estimates were also far
apart, causing Irregularity and a tend
ency to await more definite Information.
The outlook grew much more cheerful
from the producers point of view when
the closing month brought a higher price
than t cents. Equally erratic was the
course of ooffee, on account of heavy
Brasil receipts and reports of extensive
