S1.OO ADVANCE IN
 LUMBER PRICES

The price of lumber in the Southern States advanced one dollar per 1000 feet last week, as predicted in The Age-Herald last Sunday would be the case. This ad- vance was announced from Memphis in an Associated Press dispatch three or four days ago A further advance of from 50 cents to $2 will likely be made soon.
 The demand for lumber in the Blrming- ham market was good throughout the past week, though January is always a dull month in the lumber well as other mar kets The outlook for business in the spring is bright, and great many big orders are expected before spring opens. The new construction now in sight in the Birming- ham district will make a big demand on lumber manufacturers and take their out put for several weeks.

ANECDOTES OF GEN. FORREST.
Why the Confederate Leader Declined
 to Correct His Spelling.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 General Forrest of the Confederate Army" said an ex-Confe derate officer, was a military genius of the first rank. Without previous training or any developed taste in that direction he went into the army from a place as overseer and attained com manding rank absolutely by merit. Rough and uncouth at first, he became in later life courtly gentleman whom 1t was a pleasure to meet and to know I remember on one occasion some time after the war coming up the Potomac with him I wanted to introduce young woman who was under my escort. He said he was 1attered by the request, but that he could not meet her un- less she knew perfectly well who he was and that he was not held in high esteem by the Northern people, chiefly account of the Port Pillow affair. I assured him that she was fully apprised of his record, and then he went with me to meet her and she told me later she had never met a more attractive man.
 Earlier in his career, that is before he had learned to spell, he was asked by a young lady to put his autograph in her album. He wrote his name as requested, and under it his title, Major-G General of Calvary as he spelled it. The lady called his attention to it in a very delicate way and he looked at it moment, and with a full consciousness that he was lacking in that regard and with beautiful and scarcely to be expected humility, he said: Let 1t stand to show how ignorant Gen. eral Forrest is There are not many men who would have done that, I imagine, and it was the little things that showed the mans true greatness"

recently shipped from the Ensley steel plant of the Tennessee Coal, Iron Rail- road Company for export. It was billed to Glasgow, Scotland, and went by way of New, Orleans This is. but one of several similar shipments the same company has made to Glasgow in the past few months.
 Four of the furnaces at the steel mill are not in operation and their combined make it about 360 tons of steel day.
 A telegram from Talladega states that Eugene Zimmerman has disposed of his in- terest in the furnace, mineral and railroad properties in that place to Landenberg, Thalman & Co.,, of New York. The prop critics included are the Northern Alabama Coal, Iron & Railway Company and the Birmingham & Atlantic Railroad, a short line running from Talladega to Pell City, distance of about twenty miles. The telegram states that the furnace which has been Idle for several months will be put in blast as soon as necessary repairs can be made which probably will be by the middle of February.

''The money value represented in the an- nual consumption of lime in Alabama ex- ceeds $120000, while the money represented in the entire production of lime In the State will amount to upwards of a quarter of a million dollars
 '"rhe quantity of available surface lime rock in Alabama is practically inexhaush- be while it's quality isemuch superior to any elsewhere in the South, and in fact to any in the entire country There are three distinct characters of lime rock found in Alabama from which peculiarly valuable commercial lime is manufactured-the oolit- ic stone and the blue smooth fracturing rock, each containing about 99 per cent. carbonate of lime, and the dolomite or magnetism stone, containing seldom less than 75 per cent. carbonate of lime.'
 While the production of lime has mate rially increased in the past year. the price remains practically the same as it was at the beginning of 1900.

bar. It is eight inches bore by seven feet long There is also one horizontal cylinder five-inch bore by eleven feet stroke that operates the carriage; also, one upright cylinder seven-inch bore by four feet stroke that operates the lifting tongs or peel. All this machinery is located on the revolving table and turns with the jib booms to any degree, or will swing all the way around. This machine travels three hundred feet per minute. It also has an outside cylin- der along side the boom for turning over the slab or ingot inside of furnace This turning over process is one of the main features of this machine, together with it's turning bar or peel
 This machine will run on any standard gauge railroad track, and will load or un- load cars, lift and turn logs, timber or any other heavy weight. It can be operated by steam or air. This particular machine is operated by air, and it's general combina- tion is one of the most useful ever invent ed, especially for use in steel and iron plants where heavy slabs, blooms and in- gots are being constantly handled. It will do the work of twenty-five or thirty labor CTS in this class of work besides adding to the output of the heating furnaces in roll ing mills where it is operated. The driving gear is beveled, and is operated by fric- tion clutch, which also operates the re- volving table. all of which is operated by the twin engines"

ALABAMA FURNACES
 AT PRESENT IN BLAST

On the first day of January there were twenty-eight pig iron furnaces in-blast in Alabama, with a combined weekly capac- ity of 2O,599 tons, compared with twenty seven furnaces and 21,1S1 tons weekly ca- pacity on December 1, 1900.
 Of the twenty-eight furnaces in blast on January 1 twenty-five were coke furnaces with weekly capacity of 19,5S5 tons, and three charcoal, with capacity of 1014 tons. Two idle coke furnaces were put in blast in December and charcoal furnace blown out.
 With the same rate of production on Jan uary 1 maintained throughout the year the output of pig iron in Alabama in 1901 will be about 100000 tons, or practically the same as last year and the year before.

years and that 1t will work revolution in the handling of heavy materials at rolling mills, furnaces and steel mills It can also be used in loading and unloading freight cars.
 A reporter for the Age-Herald was in- vited to witness the machine in operation, and while he was present eighteen hundred pound ingots were being transferred from one of the furnaces to a roller in the pla.e mill department. The machine kept one roller busy and then was idle three-fourths of the time.
 In explaining the machine MT. Dwyer said:
 ''The machine is for charging either slabs, blooms or ingots into furnace, turning same over while inside of said furnace: then drawing them out of the furnace and running them to the rolls. This machine is known as charging machine and Is built on trucks with heavy cast iron bed plate or frame and is of standard gauge. It is eight feet wide by ten feet long It has turning table seven feet wide which revolves on chilled cast iron balls. The To- comoticn and table are operated by pair of upright twin engines with link motion. It has a wrought iron mast fifteen feet high and two jib beams-one eighteen feet long and the other ten feet long. It has a radius of thirty-six feet from center of turning table. There is a horizontal cylin- der between the masts on pivot and oscil- dates to suit position of charging peel or

WEEKLY REVIEW
  OF IRON MARKET
Some Interesting Statistics on the Export Trade of
 the District

The local iron market continues firm but without any distinguishing characteristics. The furnaces during the week ended yester- day just about sold their make, but the sales were mostly in small lots. No great activity is anticipated for some weeks hence. The local furnaces have sold their make for several months ahead except in the low CT grades and no great effort is being made to dispose of the production.
 The Southern Iron Committee has publish ed its report of shipments from Alabama and Tennessee in 1900 and also of export iron, the latter going almost entirely from the Birmingham district. A few thousand tons were exported from Florence and Tal- ladega, but the bulk of the export was sent out by three of the Birmingham com panies.

A Sweat Sahor SaNNa MacNANe DesAaNed By
 A. D. SanNette of the ESlrmlOeMam ROVlns lAlM

A " Jannette, the master mechanic at the Birmingham Rolling Mill located in the Western part of this city, has invented a charging machine which has been in oper- ation for several months, during which time it has given the utmost satisfaction. It does the work of about thirty laborers and capacities the handling of heavy slabs, ingots and blooms and other heavy mate rials.
 Some time ago General Manager John D. Dwyer of the rolling mill requested Mr. Jannette to get up a design for charg ing machine which could be used in charg- ing the furnaces at the rolling mill and in removing the slabs, ingots and blooms from the furnaces and placing them on the roll CTS. MT. Jannette went to work on the de- sign and in July of last year had completed the first machine, which was immediately put in operation. It proved entirely satis- afctory and has been constantly operated ever since. Patents were obtained by MT. Jannette and MT. Dwyer and it is their in tention to begin the manufacture of the machines for the market.
 With this charging machine slabs or in- gots can be placed in the furnaces at the rate of one a minute and almost equal speed can be maintained in removing the ingots from the furnaces to the rollers. Under the old method of drawing the in- gots or slabs from the furnaces with bars and hooks and transferring them to the rollers by means of puleys one man was required for every hundred pounds of weight, or for the ordinary iDgot about eighteen or twenty men would be required. It generally took from ten to twenty min utes to handle one ingot in this way. The same work can be done with the machine in one or two minutes and only two boys are necessary to operate it.
 The machine was built at the shop of the Birmingham Rolling Mill and every piece of material used in its construction was oh- tained in the mill and worked into proper shape at the shop under the personal di- rection of MT. Jannette.
 General Manager Dwyer says that the machine Is the greatest machine that has been invented or constructed in recent

 The old man looked at the blooming cheeks and the rounded figure of his only child.

SORES AND
 ULCERS.

Sores and Ulcers never become chronic unless the blood is in poor condition-is sluggish, weak and unable to throw of the poisons that accumulate in it. The system must be relieved of the unhealthy matter through the sore, and great danger to life would follow should it heal before the blood has been made pure and healthy and all impurities eliminated from the sys- tem. S.S.S. begins the cure by first cleans ing and invigorating the blood, building up the general health and removing from the ,:1 system 4 CONSTANT DRAIN effete e % matter UPON THE SYSTEM. When this has been accomplished the dis charge gradually ceases, and the sore or ulcer heals. It is the tendency of these old indolent sores to grow worse and worse, and eventually to destroy the bones. Local applications, while soothing and to some extent alleviate pain, cannot reach the seat of the trouble $. s. 8. does, and no matter how apparently hopeless your condition, even though your constitution has broken down, it will bring relief when nothing else can. It supplies the rich, pure blood necessary to heal the sore and nourish the debilitated, diseased body.
