Steel Mill at Ensey Tennessee and Railroad Company

 Steel Making
 The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company made the first basic iron ever turned out in Alabama, and demonstrated its fitness for steel manufacture at the mills in the north. They followed this with the erection of the great steel mill at Ems ley at cost of over $l, 600, 900, and are now operating that mill successfully, and dem onstrating the ability of Alabama steel producers to invade northern markets at the very outset of southern steel produc- tion. The future greatness of Birmingham as a steel center is thus assured for which the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company is entitled to full credit. Their steel works are the finest in the world. In the construction thereof no money was spared to obtain the most modern com plete arrangements and equipment that en- gineering science could design and supply. Fifteen hundred tons a day of basic open hearth bllets, and rails soon to fol-

"For the increased production of pig iron we have thoroughly overhauled and practically rebuilt Oxmoor No. and Alice No. 2 furnaces the latter of which is In operation, and the former is ready to go in We have also taken down the blast fur mace at Cowan Tenn, removed the same, and erected 1t as No. stack at Ensley, the saving to be effected on the freight on materials used, and in the saving of ad- ministrative charges by consolidating this with an existing division being sufficient to amply justify this action.

 Year Growth

Eerybody knows that the Republican
party favors imperialism, although they
try to get away from it. When they
first organized their club here they
made a bank cashier president. This
was done to cater to the moneyed
classes, but at their melting Saturday
night the bank man resigned and E. H.
Rider was selected in his place. The
bank cashier found a few Democrats
made deposits in his bank. But to cap
the climax for Imperialism they elected
a treasurer that has never voted in
this county, has only his first papers
and has not. lived in the State a year.
This was done to catch the foreign
votes But how do the old party workers
feel who have worked for the party
and are turned down for a man not
eligible to vote 1t was a bitter dose
and left many men very sore. This
kind of work does not suit the party
and is sure to breed dissatisfaction.

712c lower in pork, sc higher in lard
and 27a@5c down in ribs.
A surprise in the shape of an adj
vance at Liverpool came to startle
traders when trade in the wheat pit
began. 1t was in the face of a liberal
slump here Saturday and shorts were
accordingly deeply impressed. Sep

receipts and almost no country offer

much a case of demand as of lack of

the advance In tnis they were sue

derived most of its frmness from the

We Celebrate.

1t has always been customary in
the past for Holbrook to have some
kind of celebration on the Glorious
Fourth. This year will not be an
exception to the rule, it being the
intention of our business men and
citizens generally to have an appro-
pirate celebration this year. We
would suggest that a meeting be
called at an early date for the pur-
pose of appointing committees and
arranging program. The sooner
work is started the better celebration
we will have.
