handled and furnished tonnage for nearly 100000 tons of this class of trade.
 Another enterprise inaugurated by the Southern railway to the benefit of Birming- ham particularly, is the handling of Jeff ferson and Walker county coals, via Green vile, Miss, and barges; enabling Alabama coals to reach New Orleans and Mississippi river plantations in competition with Pitts burg coal, which had been impossible until the inauguration of this line.
 The Southern railway is, perhaps, more progressive than any other line in the south in endeavoring to bring settlers, manufac- turers, and farmers into the territory ad- jacent to it's lines. M. V. Richards, land and industrial agent, Washington, D. C., has charge of this department.
 During the past year the Southern rail- way has issued a large edition of book entitled "The Empire of the South," ninety two pages, descriptive of the territory along the lines of the Southern railway, resources, natural advantages etc. It takes up each state through which the Southern passes and describes fully every one of them, to- gether with all of the chief cities It Is probably the best description of the south as 1t Is ever written, and a stranger could choose onl yone method of learning about this district which is better; that is by making trip through the southern states. The book is most handsomely printed and illustrated and would be an ornament Ito any library It was compiled by one of the best writers in the country.

is known as the Crescent City. The Queen and Crescent Route is the short line be- tween these points on schedule of twenty four hours In each direction, a distance of $50 miles.
 The Alabama Grea Southern railroad is operated under the management of the Southern railway, and is kept up to the same high standard as the Southern lines proper. Most of its track is laid with 80 and S5-pound steel rail, on heavy ties, and there Is no road anywhere that is ballasted more firmly. The equipment Is of high standard, including motive power, coaches, sleeping cars, and freight equipment. Some of the most powerful engines that have ever been constructed are running on this line, hauling its fast passenger trains. Its vestibuled passenger trains are not surpass- ed in beauty, comfort or safety by those of any line.
 The local operating headquarters of the Alab9ma Great Southern railroad are at Birmingham. c. A. Wickersham, superin- tendent; c. E. Rickley, assistant superin- tendent, and William N. Cox, trainmaster, all have offices at this point. The general headquartres are the same as those of the Sduthern railway. l.. Sevier, general freight agent. with office at Birmingham, has charge of the freight business, with R. A. Chadwick, soliciting agent located at Birmingham, and w. c. Stephents, soliciting agent at Cnattanooga, reporting 10 nm.
 c. A. Benscoter, assistant general passen- ger agent, with headquarters at Chattanoo- ga, has charge of the passenger business, and is assisted at Birmingham by R. M. Ellis, travelling passenger agent.
 The Alabama Great Southern railroad, with Its connections, operates fast passen- ger schedules between Birmingham and the principal points north, east, south and southwest. A double daily schedule is ato<A hofW m rhar pofn natl, Birmingham and Louisville, with through sleeping cars between these points. Solid trains with through sleeping cars are also operated between Birmingham and
The age-herald., 1899-11-05

New Orleans. Sleeping cars are also oper- ated between Birmingham and Jackson, Miss, yicksburg. Miss, Shreveport, La. between Birmingham and New York, via car, which serves meals between Attalla, Ala, and Radford, Va.
 The passenger schedules between Bir- mingham and principal points is as follows New York, 30 hours; Philadelphia, 2S hours; Baltimore, 26 hours; Washington, A hours Cincinnati, 13 hours; Louisville, 13 hours; New Orleans, 10 hours: Jacksonville, Miss Il hours; Vicksburg, Miss, B hours; Sheve- port, La., H hours. Convenient connections are made at Cincinnati and Louisville for all points in the north and at New Orleans, or Shreveport for all Texas and southwest ern points.
 The Alabama Great Southern railroads freight service Is equal to the best. The time consumed in moving between Birmfng- ham and various points is as follows: Cin- cinnati 31 hours; Louisville, Ky, S1 hours; New Orleans, 20 hours; New York, four and one-half days. The fastest freight record ever made between Birmingham and New Orleans was via the Alabama Great South- ern railroad, and connection, forming the Queen and Crescent Route, actual time be- ing fifteen and one-half hours.
 The Alabama Great Southern railroad is energetic and progressive in endeavoring to bring settlers, manufacturers and farmers into territory adjecent to its line. Major F. Y Anderson, land commissioner, Is in charge of this department, yith headquar- ters at Birmingham, Ala.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE
 RESOURCES ON SOUTHERN

There is certainly an improvement in the general industrial situation of the United States Factories in all parts of the coun- try which have been idle or running on short shifts are now in full operation, and are able to find market for their products at profitable prices. The great products of iron. lumber, cotton goods and others are especially in our foreign and domestic trade. Industrial development, as a rule, Clas been at a standstill in the United States for the past five or six years, only now be- ing wakened to new life. That the develop iment did not entirely cease was almost al- together due to the fact that in the south such conditions existed that manufacturers could erect and operate plants to great ad- vantage over the more expensive and more unfavorably- situated factories in other
The age-herald., 1899-11-05

parts of the country, despite the limited markets. With depression in the old es- tablished manufacturing centers of the north, many of the wide-awake business men of those communities protected them selves by investing in new plants in south ern localities, where the cost of buildings power, raw material, cheap and efficient la bor and other advantages enabled many kinds of factories to run at a profit when the less favorably situated onces had to close down. It might be put down as an in- dustrial axiom that 1t is in the times of dull trade, commercial depression, in the so- called "hard times" when the best loca- ltions and sections for industries of various kinds are most plainly made known. In flush times, with active markets and high prices and large margins of profits, the poorly located factory and the out -of-date factory may prove profitable investment; but with cessations of activity and the low ering of selling prices, it is case of the survival of the Attest, and the establish ment which has untoward conditions in the shape of more costly location, older ma- chinery, higher cost of production, must clos eits doors. Two noteworthy examples of this industrial fact are the cotton and iron industries. While the New England cotton industry was woefully stricken by the "hard times" from 1893 to 1898, there was steady increase in the industry in the south, with a good profit to investors. Dur ing all these years too. the iron industry of the south was gaining in importance, and it was in the very worst of the panic years almost that steel making at Bir- mingham was inaugurated and shown to be such success that a second plant was soon projected.
 South in Hard Times
 If place or section is shown, in periods of depression, to have such advantages for manufacturing in any line that its estab- lishments are able to make money while factories of the same kind in older manu- featuring communities are not able to op-

lines. It operates the Piedmont Air Line from the east, on the following fast schedule to Birmingham: From Boston, So hours; from New York, 63 hours; from Philadelphia, 67 hours; from Baltimore, 50 hours: from Norfolk, 47 hours. The Pied mont Air Line is daily service from Bos- ton, Providence, New York and Baltimore, and a tri-weely service from Philadelphia. The Southern railway also operates a fast freight all-rail service from interior New York and Pennsylvania points, known as the "Richmond and Danville Dispatch"
 The Southern railway has magnificent and extensive terminal facilities at Bruns- wick Ga. Norfolk, Va, Mobile and Charleston, through which ports they have built up large and growing export trade, particularly in Alabama pig iron. Ii also exports largely through New Orleans and Savannah. The Southern railway has paid particular attention to the Alabama pig iron export trade, and since the export movement was inaugurated in 1896, has

interesting history. It was one of the first roads to enter Birmingham, and it operated through this point when Birmingham was but a small hamlet.
 The Alabama Great Southern has kept pace in its development with the growth, enterprise and development of Birmingham, and today. in it's physical condition and operating record, may be classed with the railroads holding the best records in the country. It operates in close harmony with its conneotions on the north the Cincin- natl, New Orleans and Texas Pacific rail- way, and on the south, the Cincinnati, New Orleans and Northeastern railway the Ala bama and Vicksburg railway, the Vicks- burg, Shreveport and Pacific railway These lines form a system which, for ad- vcrtising purposes, is known as the "Queen and Crescent Route." This name is de- rived from the fact that the combined lines operating betw cen Cincinnati, at the north ern terminus, is known as the Queen City and New Orleans, at tn esouthern terminus,
The age-herald., 1899-11-05

and all other Alabama points.
 The Southern railway is the most progress sive transportation company in the south as evidenced by the number of fast and elegant trains that it operates: "The Wash ington and Southwestern Vestibuled Linn ited," carrying through sleeping cars be- tween New Orleans and New York-also Birmingham and New York-is a solid train carrying broad vestibuled platform sleep- ing cars day coaches and dining car be- tween Washington and Atlanta, and Pull man library observation car between At lanta and New York. These trains have been in service for several years and are probably patronized to a greater extent than any other trains south of the Ohio river. '"Fhe United States Fast Mail' op- crates between New York, Washington and New Orleans, with connections to and from Birmingham. "The Cincinnati and Florida Limited" operates between Cincinnati and Jacksonville, Fla, and is a solid train. with handsome day coaches of the latest pat tern, broad platform vestibuled sleeping cars and cafe cars. "The New York and Florida Limited' also operates during the winter season between New York and Flor ida, and is perhaps the handsomest train in the world. It carries combination bag gage, smoking, babrer shop and bath room car, dining car, Pullman drawing room sleeping cars, Pullman compartment sleep ing cars, observation car, and operates solid between New York, Jacksonville ana st. Augustine without change.
 "The Washington and Chattanooga Linn ited, via Lynchburg." is another through train operated by the Southern railway and Alabama Great Southern railroads. This train is operated solid between Chat tanooga and Washington. having connec- tions to and from Memphis, New Orleans and Birmingham, and carries through sleep ing car between Birmingham and New York There is also a cafe car on this train, which serves meals between Attalla, Ala, and Radford Va.
 The Southern railway has built up mag ntficent fast freight service over all its

 A daily schedule Is also operated between Birmingham and Jacksonville, Fla, by way of Atlanta, and handsome Pullman sleeping cars run daily each way, between Birmingham and Atlanta and Atlanta and Jacksonville. Connections are also made ito other prominent points in the southeast, with the following time: Jacksonville Fla, 15 hours; Brnswick, Ga., IA hours; Savan- nah, Ga, 14 hours; Charleston s.

II the historic landmarks OF our town.
From L. H. Patton, proprietor of the
IonesbOro Inn, we learn that this house
was built by his grandfather, John Pat
ton, along il the early years Of the
present century. Mr., Patton occupied
/ as family residence and hotel. 1t
was there that several Of his children
were bOrn-among the number, the late
Col. S. X. N. Patton, Of the Eight Ten
nessee Cavalry, Union Army, and who
also represented this county in the Leg
islature in 1861 and 1868, and who was
elected to the State Senate from this
district in 1872 Col, Patton was born
in that old house March 6, 1916.
Along in the early thirties, perhaps,
Jeremiah Boyd occupied the basement
OF this house as a cabinet shop.
Later on, in the early forties, the cell
ebrated Parson Brownlow lived there
and used the basement as a printing Of
flee, where he published "Brownlow's
JonesborO Whig" during the ever mem.
orable campaigns OF Jones and Polk for
Governor, and of Clay and Polk for Pres
ident in 1874, and fought his own losing
battle there against Andy Johnston for
Congress in 1916.
Those we're stirring times and the
Parson wrote stirring" philippics in
the way Of editorials, scathing, and de-
nunciatory of every one who crossed his
path.
1t is said that during the Parsons
residence there, some man in Virginia,
who felt 'muchly" aggrieved at some
OF the Parsons fiery editorials, came
down here for the purpose of killing
Brownlow. He put up at Chester's Tav'
ern, now the Jonesboro Inn, and went
to the stable which stood where the
First Presbyterian Church now stands
and staid there watching for a chance tC
