Tobacco Misunderstanding in September

The month of September was
fairly active month in manufacturing,
though not as good as August in any
line. Cigars will show about twenty
million loss, tobacco nearly million
pounds less, and cigarettes twenty
millions less than in August, still the
output was much better than the
average of the previous eight months
in all lines.

She was taken to Stoney Creek on a

MOVING SOUTH.

The movement of the Northwestern farm-
 CTS to the South has already taken tangible shape. MT. D. N. Wheeler of Fender,
 Neb. has spent some weeks in Alabama and other Southern States at the instance of a number of Nebraska farmers who have grown tired of the protracted winters of Nebraska aud are preparing to move to the South. MT. Wheeler hes just returned home and made favorable report, and as soon as spring opens the farmers will begin to move southward. On the 1st of Febru- aIy nearly 300 Illinois farmers started on Q prospecting tour through tue South. Fifty families left Chicago on February for Ar kansas on a special train bearing the in- scription, "Farewell to Drouths, Bliz- yards, Crop Failures, Doctors Bills and Mortgages.' They were fleeing from the blizzards, the long winters, the expensive fuel and the draughts upon vitality of the Northwest. A number of Iowa Dutchmen have bought 25 coo acres of land in Louis- jana. They find Louisiana very similar in soil, climate and surroundings to Holland. Two hundred families will shortly remove from one section of the Northwest to Florida. Some Ohio peach grow CTS are putting out 2,000, GOO peach trees in Georgia. They propose to dupli- cate Peachtree street, Atlanta. It is esti- mated by the New Orleans papers that nearly 10, coo settlers from the Northwest
Birmingham age-herald., 1895-02-28

have recently moved into Southwest Lou isiana. Car loads of immigrants with goods, stock, etc., arc arriving at Crow ley, La., every day, and not barn, shed or b abitation of any kind is unoccupied. At Norfolk, Va., Galveston, Tex, Lum- berton, Ala, Jackson, Miss, and other places Northerners have lately settled. The agents of Southern railroads report that the number of applications for trans- portation rates from the West to points in the South is unprecedented. The good work of Governor Northen, Maj. Frank Y. Anderson, MT. P. Sid Jones and others is bringing fruit even before winter breaks up. The invasion of the South by the North this spring will excel in numbers the invasion of the spring of 1863, but whereas the Northerners came thirty-two years ago to burn and destroy they come now to restore and to build up. And we are much gladder to see them.

ON TO ATLANTA.

The Montgomery Advertiser suggests the most practical plan yet presented for an Alabama exhibit at Atlanta. The AGE- HERALD is pleased to second the move, aud we think the press of the Slate will fall in line without any tagging. This movement will benefit the entire State. The oppor- tunity is golden one for Alabama to get before the outside world with her wonder. ful advantages, and any special benefits that may accrue to any one section will ul- timately revert to the advantage of all. As our Commercial Club has already made the start in this direction we commend the Ad- vertiser's plan to them. Let us have one united effort for our entire State, in which all local jealousies shall be thrown aside, and we can have an exhibit that will be creditable to the State at Atlanta and then serve for the Mexican exhibit also. The Commercial Club meets tomorrow and the committee on the Atlanta exposition should formulate some practical plan in line with the Advertiser idea and the matter will be gloriousisuccess. Here is the editorial
 The State of Alabama should make an ex- hibit at the Cotton States Exposition. AL though the Legislature made no appropria- tion for this purpose there is no good reason why a creditable exhibit should not be made. fund can be raised large enough to make display that will be splendid advertisement for the State. If every white voter in the State would contribute 50 cents an enormous fund would be raised.
 The commercial associations in the differ ent cities should take this matter up and ar- range for a convention in Montgomery to ag- itate it. It is not necessary that a few men should stand the entire expense of making a display as a small contribution from all of our patriotic citizens would provide ample money. We would suggest that a convention be called to meet in Montgomery about April 15 for the purpose of forming definite plan of action and arrange to receive subscrip- tions at every town in the State. Limit the amount that can be contributed by any one person to S1, and even The school children will bring in their nickels. Appeal to the mass of our citizens to uphold the honor of our State and they will respond nobly. If the subscription is made popular by limiting to a small amount all of our people will subscribe without fear of being over shad owed by some more fortunate individual making a large contribution, and all will take pride in knowing that our state was suitably represented.
 The Advertiser stands ready to help a move- ment of this kind in every way possible and calls upon the State press, regardless of party affiliations, to take the matter up. This oppor- tunity for advertising the resources of our State must not be neglected, and prompt ac- tion is necessary.

AFTER SINNERS.
William Brown, a Desperate Charac- ter, Caught at Last-Other
 Doings of Deputies.

Yesterday Internal Revenue Collector Randall received notice of the arrest of William Brown in Winston county, a man much wanted by the United States revenue authorities.
 Brown, it is said, has been a terror for five years to the revenue officers who have had occasion to go into Winston county in the discharge of their duties. It is said he has all of this time, or the greater portion of 1t at least been conducting illicit dis tilleries in Winston, not many miles from Natural Bridge, station on the Birming- ham, Sheffield and Tennessee River rail- road.
 Frequent attempts have been made to ap- prehend Brown, but with inyariable faii- ure until Tuesday morning, when he was surprised and taken in his sleep.
 Deputy Collector D. A. Hughes and Deputy United States Marshal c. 0. Smith went to Winston county Monday, and about 2 o'clock that night found them- selves at Browns house. They managed by some means to get inside the house, and there found their man quietly sleeping with his trusty shotgun lying near his head and within reach. The two officers game awoke Brown. The latter was very wrathy at the captors, but seeing no way to help himself accepted the inevitable, and was soon en route to the Jasper jail, where he is now confined awaiting trial.
 It is said Brown was also wanted by the county officials of Winston county.
 Collector Randall has received notice of other raids, as follows:
 Near Mount Hope, Franklin county, Deputy Collector J. D. Caffee seized sev- enty- gallon copper still, seventy gallons of whisky, 320 gallons of beer, sixteen bushels of mash and other articles. Two arrests were made at this place.
 Near Savoy, Franklin county, the same officers seized fifteen- gallon still, two mash stands and five bushels of mash. At this place three arrests were made.

Active Preparations Making to
 Establish Horse Racing
PERMANENTLY IN THIS CITY
Money and Determination Be- hind the Present Movement.
 Encouragement Given.

Everything points now towards Birming- ham having big and successful race meet- ing during this spring.
 The matter has been quietly worked for several months and has about come to 8 climax, the meaning of which is that not only will spring meetings be held hereafter at the fair grounds, but that winter rac- ing point will also be established. The move is being we'll backed by men who have money, and who will spare no pains to make it success.
 Over S130, 1000 was spent on the fair grounds race course and it is one of the finest in the south, having been acknowl- edged such by experts. The grounds are spacious and ample for the accommodation of as many horses as any track in the south.
 If everything pans out all right, and there is no adverse indication at present, the course will be purchased by we'll known horsemen during the next few weeks. With this in view Mir. T. G. Hewlett has secured an option on the grounds and is now nego- tiatiug with we'll known horse owners, who have signified their willingness to put money in thetrack here and to establish permanent winter racing. As soon as the matter is consummated the course will be fixed up and the quarters put in excellent shape.
 One encouragement toward the establish ment of the track is the passage of the pool bill before the last legislature, which al- lows foreign books to be made on the track and also pools to be sold in the city.
 AS an additional encouragement the Bir- mingham Railway and Electric company has agreed 10 give the management of the course 20 per cent of all dummy fares 10 and from the track. Then local jockey club will be organized which will lend en- couragement, and many of the leading business men have expressed themselves heartily in favor of race meeting provided 1t is run by the right kind of people.
 Just here 1t may be mentioned also that two or three horsemen are in the city al- ready looking into the matter, and also that there Is movement on foot to make arrangements for the holding of state fairs annually at the fair grounds.
 Mir. w. A. M,lntyre, secretary of the Brooklyn Racing association, has been tel egraphed and will probably be hero in a few days.
 Concerning the racing matter special from Jacksonville, Fla, to the Atlanta Constitution says:
 Brooklyn Jockey club, is in this city, and will meet the business men and citizens who feel an interest in establishing race track association in Jacksonville at the board or trade rooms at Il o'clock tomor- row. MT. Mcintyre represents the most prominent horsemen of the north, such men as Belmont, Dwyer, Keene and others. These gentlemen are in earnest to establish winter racing in the south, and it is their intention to construct track in Jacksonville hrst and then to extend the circuit to include Savannah, Atlanta, Bir- mingham, Chattanooga, New Orleans and St. AupuStine.'

Two OR three of the iron furnace com panies in this district made contracts for coal and ore two years ago. The contracts were based on the prevailing price of coal and iron ore at that time, which was thought to be very reasonable. The con- tracts called for coal and ore for several years to come. Now that the price of coal and ore has fallen considerably, these com panies are handicapped as compared to others.

THE export of British pig iron to the United States for January, 1893, was 3592 tons, for January, 1894, was 1901 tons and for January, 1895, was 76l tons. This shows constantly decreasing import of British pig iron, and corresponds with the admission of the London Coal and Iron Trades Review that Alabama iron has shut out the British iron from American mar kets and will eventually shut it out from all neutral markets.

ABOUT fifteen years ago, when the coal and ore of the Birmingham district was attracting attention, Maj. Mark L. Potter engaged the services of Mir. Mills, an ex- pert iron maker of Scotland, and thor oughly investigated the mineral resources of this district. MT. Mills commanded a salary of $40 day and his expenses, but his advice was worth it.. He said at the time that the Birmingham iron was very similar to the Scotch iron, and was very valuable for foundry purposes. His testi- mony is corroborated'by the investigations in this district of MT. Jeremiah Head of England last autumn.
