HANDLED 163,379 TONS
PIG, IRON PIPE AND STEEL IN
 SEPTEMBER.
Reports of the Railroads to the Southe-n Iron Committee. Shortage of Cars and
 Locomotives.

Birmingham, Nov. 22-(Special. .)-During the month of September. this year, the railroads in the Southern territory, be- longing to the Southern Iron Committee. handled 163,379 tons of pig iron, cast iron pipe and steel During the same month a year previous, the total shipments of these products amounted to 137,225 tons.
 For the pine months of this year, up to October 1, the traffic movement in iron, steel and cast iron pipe in the Southern producing territory amounts to 1,452, 55O tons. against 1,2SS,o4S tons for the same period in 1901. These gains are remark able. The shortage of cars and locomo- tive power on the part of the Southern railroads is interfering with the move- ments of the furnace and steel plants to a considerable extent, and 1t Is figured that were the various plants get ting all the cars necessary to handle their product promptly as they might wish the shipments would be increased no little.
 The shipments by months from the Southern producing territory of pig iron, cast iron pipe and steel for the first nine months of the year were as follows: Jan uary. 1s2,2Os; February, 14s,s1s; March, 163, 461; April, 163,0S2; May, 169. 739; June, tember, 6S,S79; total, 1.452.55O tons.
 Tie Birmingham district alone, shipped out during the nine months just 744,0l7 tens of pig iron. steel and cast iron pipe, divided as follows; Pig iron, 679,977 tons; cast iron pipe. 6404O tons. The export shipments from the Birmingham district during the nine months amounted to 747 tons of pig iron and 1927 tons of cast iron pipe.
 The West is getting the greater amount of the product from the Southern pro- ducing territory. During the month of September, for instance, 36,C95 tons of pig iron went East and 112,309 went West.
 The officials of the various railroads in the Birmingham district state that they are doing all in their power to relieve the congestion that is playing havoc hereabouts, but they are doing but little in that direction, it would appear after looking backward. New cars are being brought to this territory and cars from other divisions are being distributed quite freely among the industrial and manu- featuring concerns of the Alabama pro- ducing district, and still there is loud cry for more. The conditions are just

sweeping everything before 1t, and thrilled by his inspiring shout of For ward, men ever friend or foe" The col umn swept on, piercing the lines Of the dismayed Hooker, till obliged to halt ana reform. During the night Generals Jack son and A. P. Hill being wounded, the command of the corps devolved on him. and he prepared to renew the daring movement at dawn. But General Pendle- ten of the artillery, having sent for Gen eral Stuart, Rodes modestly and patriot ically yielded the command.
 Commissioned as Major-General for his conduct in this battle, May 2, 1863. he was placed over D. H. Hilrs old division Battles, Ransoms, Doles' and Daniels s brisades. At Gettysburg the Wilderness. Spottsylvania and the second Cold Har- bor, General Rodes added new lustre to his fame. General Lee witnessed his charge at Gettysburg, and sent an ofii- cer to express his thanks. When Early retired from Maryland, Rodes gave the foe bloody repulses at Castleman's Fer ry and Kernstown.
 It was at Winchester, Sept. 19, 1864 that he was struck behind the ear by a frag- ment of shell, and died within a few hours, 'in the very moment of triumph, and while conducting the attack with great gallantry and skill" as General Early remarked. His remains were taken to Lynchburg and were followed to the grave by an immense concourse.
 Of General Rodes. Hon. Willis Brewer, in his Alabama says:
 'Ths stern and military precision of General Rodes were not such as to render him a favorite with citizen-soldiery, but his troops always admired his ability, and towards the close of his career the sight of him was sure to extort a cheer which was rarely given to any besides save Gen. eral Jackson"
 General Early says, in his Memoirs of the Last Year of the War" that The was a most accomplished, skllful and gallant officer. upon which I placed great reli- apce."
 No man more assiduouslv devoted him self to the duties of soldier than Gen eral Rodes, and he was truly the trusted right arm of every corps commander un- der whom he served
 In person he was slender but of ordi- nary height, with a resolute expression, aad soldierly bearing. He was fond of the martial surroundings of war, but strOve to excel in its grayer duties. In the private relations of life he was ami able, but reserved and not sociable."

Paragraphs from Champ Clark's
 Speech.

Cameron CMo) Sun.
 I like President Roosevelt. He is do- ing a patriotic work-lfke the Irishman who wanted the doctor to give him the fwhiskey-''unbeknow to himself''-by kicking the Republican Party into smith ereens.
 Query: If Hanna. Deliver & O. caused it to rain in American abundantly in 1897, 1898, 1899 and 1902. why In heavens name did they not send us a few refreshing showers in 1901? Do they propose to make 1t rain only in election years?
 It Is said that experience is a dear school and fools will learn in no other" It is my firm conviction that if every American citizen could be compelled to go abroad and to return to the United States through the custom house, the Dingley high tariff law would be swept off the statute books. for then they would have what Othello demanded-''the ocu- lar proof"-of the iniquites of the sys- tenn.
 said: ''Mr. Fowler they knocked your bill out" "Oh, ,yes,' he replied with a broad grin. but we will pass 1t at the short session next Winter and so they will. Nearly all the Republican devil ment ever done by Congress is at the short session-just after the election.
 Nobody in Missouri or in the West fa- vors the Fowler bll-but the Republican Congress will pass 1t at the short ses- sion. The bankers associations of Mis- souri. Kansas and Okla ahoma have passed resolutions against the Fowler bill, but the Republicans intend to pass it this Winter unless they are thrashed out of their boots at the coming November cleo tion.

The State Department of Archives and portrait of Gen. Robert Emmett Rodes, one of the most gallant and able leaders that Alabama contributed to the great war between the States.
 The portrait was presented by the Rob- ert E. Rodes Chapter, No. 6 Alabama Division, United Daughters of the Con federaey of Tuscaloosa, of which Mrs. Ellen Peter Bryce Is President. The Tuscaloosa Chapter Is first in the State to contribute a portrait of the soldier in whose honor 1t Is named.
 The illustrious war record of General Rodes makes the gift of special interest The portrait will be hung in the portrait gallery of the Department with the pic lures of other generals from Alabama in the war.
 General Rodes, who was conspicuous among the dead of the late war was citizen of Tuscaloosa. He was the son of Gen. David Rodes, a prominent gentle man of Lynchburg. Va. The maiden name of his mother was Yancey. Born in Lynchburg. March g. 1929. he there passed his boyhood. He was grad uated July 4, 1S4S. at the military insti- tute at Lexington, but remained there
  then served as assistant to the chief en- gineer of the Southside Railroad till 1884, when his skill was employed on 2 railroad at Marshall, Tex.
 In 1855 he was chosen assistant. and two years later chief engineer of the Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad. after which he made Tuscaloosa his home.
 He was thus engaged in January, lS6l, when he led a company to Fort Morgan His company shortly after became part of the 5th Alabama infantry, of which he was elected Colonel. Ordered to Vir- ginia, he was promoted to the rank of Briga6ier- General. October H. 1861. His brigade was made up of the 5th, 9th and 12th Alabama, and 12th Mississippi regi- nents, the latter being detached from the Sd and 18th Alabama, added to the brigade the spring following
 General Rodes was hader fire at Will liamsburg, and at Seven Pines led his brigade with great credit, but was dis abled by a wound in the arm. He was only able to join his command in time to participate in the battles of Boonsboro and Sharpsburg. At Charlottesville he commanded one of the three divisions of Jackson's corps which assaulted the en- cmy's position. His division led the way,

simply wonderful. The future is just as bright as it has been the past six months. and 1t Is figured that the ship ments for October were greater than they were in September. Already indications point to a larger shipment during the month of Novembec than during the pre- vious month.
 Furnacemen In the Birmingham distric1 assert that the production of pig iron is going to be heavier during the next five or six months than ever before. Every effort is to be made to keep up a steady production and the shipments will be large right along also. There Is a good supply of raw material, except as to coke and steady employment Is promised to the large army of workingmen at the many plants in the district. No less than 800 coke ovens are under construction in Ala bama at present and more than half of them should be completed and ready for operation by March 1. 1903. The coke SUD- ply is rather short. making the commo- dity expensive.
 The Birmingham district is shipping the greatest amount of pig iron. steel and cast iron pipe of the six districts in the South ern producing territory. There are two or three furnaces in this district which are still inactive and are being repaired. These furnaces will add considerably to the producing when put in blast. There is need for every ton of iron that can be manufactured In Alabama Good prices prevail for the product and the indica- tions are sound for a similar condition the best part of the coming year.
 The shipments by districts during the month of September of pig iron, steel and cast iron pipe were as follows: An niston 25.130; Birmingham, & 413; Nash vile. 1o.S97; Sheffield, 16 491; Middlesboro, 5,SoS; Chattanooga, H,64O; total. 16Sss7 tons
 Only GA tons of pig iron and 9s tons of case iron pipe were exported from the Southern producing territory during the month of September.
 In finished iron and steel circles in the South there is much activity and good prices obtain all around. The rolling mills are as busy as they can be, and trouble Is being encountered here, too, in getting railroad cars with which to handle their traffic.

 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best char coal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the char coal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these loZenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complexion. sweet CT breath and purer blood. and the beau ty of it Is, that no possible harm can re- suit from their continued use, but on the contrary. great benefit.
