More Northern Mills to Close Down

More iron mills are to be shut down in the north. Official announcement of this may be withheld for little time but if present plans are carried out the metal output will be much diminished before the end of this month. Evidences of this ten dency to curtail the production of metal were had last week in the action of the Republic Iron and Steel company, when it closed down one of its mills in Indiana. There is no probability, however, of any of the concerns in this district being af- fected at any early date. The rolling mills will close down the first of July, as is their custom each year, for repairs, but they are not expected to remain closed long. The scale for the next year, which is to go into effect July 1, will be fixed some time this month. It is believed the scale will be agreed to without much de- lay

AT WORK ON THE
 TWELFTH CENSUS EnumeratOrs Are Meeting With Courteous Consideration. TWENTY-SK IN THE CITY Uncle Sam Wants to Know All About His Many Nephews and Nieces,
 and Asks Seemingly Im-
 pertinent Questions
TWENTY-SlX IN THE CITY

The census enumerator is hard at work, and during the next ten days every citizen of Birmingham who has not already seen him will be honored with a call.
 Twenty-six of them are engaged at the task of taking the census of Birmingham, and report that they are meeting with the most courteous consideration. Even among the ignorant classes they are having little trouble and are getting correct answers to the different questions propounded
 Uncle Sam wants to know all about his many nephews and nieces and asks many questions that may seem impertinent but he knows his business, and you must answer them, and need have no fears, as all the enumerators are under oath not to divulge any of the information obtained in the dis charge of their duty So, any young lady whose age is doubtful need not hesitate about giving the exact day of the month and year when born, she can rest as sured that it will not be used against her
 Many of the census enumerators are young men, however, and it may be little embarrassing for them to accost their fair lady friends on the subject and demand that they own up just how old they are to a day.
 The census enumerator must be man of patience else he is liable to an attack of nervous prostration ere he has put in his fifteen days work asking the same ques- tions of hundreds of persons who are not used to answering census enumerators The enumerators get 21a cents for each live per- sons interrogatory, and cents for each
 
 That is why he will want to know exactly when your relatives died. When he strikes the old-time darkey who don't know how old he is but insists that he will be hun dred years old in water melon time, he will have to help him guess it out. The census report cannot be exactly cor rect when it is finished, there are many persons, especially among the negro race, who do not know their age nor where their father or mother was born. This is of little consequence however and if they are successful in getting correct answers to the other questions that go toward mak- ing the grandest count of the United States, al Twill be well. Be careful how you slam the door in strangers face who you take for book agent, as he may be the census man, and he has a right to walk right in whether you are "at home to him or not A failure to answer any of his questions is violation of the law and subjects you to a fine of $500. Treat him politely and answer his questions intelli- gently and he will soon get through with you and thank you for your trouble, and promise not to call again on the same mis- sion before 19l0
 The Age-Herald prints this morning list of the questions in tabulated form, the answers to which can be written out in the space left for that purpose and handed to the enumerator, when he calls. This will save time to both the enumerator and the citizen and will greatly facilitate the work.
