The mistake which commonly opens the

Exports of Piq Iron.

If home consumption will not absorb the products of the furnaces of this dis trict, it can be exported even as prices stand today Middlesborough No. 3 is quoted at $11.36, and Cleveland basic at $11.SS. On the continent prices run up to SIP, and in some ports even more.
 It is therefore today but a question of freights. In the dull years that fol lowed 1893 export iron was carried to Mobile or Pensacola at one dollar a ton, and cotton-carrying ships used it either as ballast or carried it below the cotton bales at an ocean rate of one dollar ton. It will thus be seen that if iron should accumulate in this district it can be sent across the sea and yet command price that would net the producer at tho stack about ten dollar ton. Furnacemen in Eng land, Belgium or Germany cannot cut present prices and have any profit left The price of iron abroad therefore assures this district against any great accumulation of iron in the furnace yards, because whatever cannot be sold at home can be sold abroad. It also renders ten dollars or whereabouts the bottom price in this district.
 The age-Herald does not say that Alabama iron will be at once exported, but it does say this district is very near the export point. and that there need be no fear of great accumula- tion in this district so long as the mar. kets of the world arc open to us, as they plainly are. Home consumption may render a resort to outside mar. kets inadvisable, but the fact that iron and steel can be exported is fact this district will not lose sight of while cot. ton ships are sailing daily from the gulf ports.

No Serious Accidents.

Considering the enormous crowds, yes- terday was remarkably free from acei- dents," said business man. Although no parade was given, the circus had more people than could be accommodated, and hundreds were turned away frtm the en- trance. All tickets were exhausted long before time for the performance to begin. The show and the car lines seem to have done all the business. Trading was com paratively dull for Saturday. especially with the town filled with visitors. The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company took care of the people in ex- cellent style. The cars were overfiowing on every trip. but this was to be ex- pected.
 One of the greatest dangers confronting trolley lines in Birmingham is the large number of railroad tracks that have to be crossed. However, it is noticeable that smashups from this cause are compara- lively rare. The traction company took in many a nickle yesterday. From early morning until late at night people were passing out to the circus grounds while others were coming back. This constant stream seemed to continue unabated all during the afternoon, although the great est rush was, of course. between 12 and 3 o'clock. It is very fortunate that no one was injured"

Circus Dust.

While every body Is talking circus have a suggestion to make said a gen. tleman yesterday who was coming back with his shoulders sprlnkled with dust and his throat husky Some enterprise ing genius should devise big fans that could be used in keeping the atmosphere within the tents fit to breathe. These fans could be operated by electricity and would do much to make visitors and performers more comfortable. The worst part of a circus in the stifing clouds of dust that fill the air both within and without the tents. In fact this disagreeable feature has kept many persons away who would otherwise have gone.
 q believe Ringiand Brothers shows use sprinkling carts but even this expedient has it's drawbacks Too much water makes mud and this is as bad as dust, and is very tring to performers, especially those who do their feats on the ground. tents would be expensive but the experi ment would certainly be worth 8 trial. They could be placed around the sides and at convenient points at the top of the tent and would thus keep lne air clear of annoying clouds of dust. 1 never cache and my mouth, throat and llngs filled with dust. Some might say that fans would be unpleasantly cool this sort of weather but anything is preferable to dust"

A, r. p. A. Veteran.

Col. J. C. McFee, fifty years on the road and the oldest commercial traveller in the United States, is one of the most distinguished looking men at the Flor ence. He was born in Pennsylvania and grew up in Philadelphia and New York. His father was thrifty, enterprising Scotchman and a manufacturer in New York. He made the first carpet ever made in the United States, which was exhibited at the Franklin Institute, Phil adelphia. He was also a strict Presbyte- rian.
 At the beginning of the war Colonel Melee drilled the state troops of Mis- souri at St. Louis under General Wal lack. Also drilled troops at New Or leans and was offered a colonelcy in both Union and Confederate armies, which he declined. His first visit to the south was in September, 1853, at New Orleans, while he handled his fathers goods. He set tied in Birmingham in December 1887. It is said that when he once got hold of territory no one had the courage to invade it, seeing failure ahead. Colo mel Melee has now retired from the road. He is finely educated and well read on the current events of the day. He was educated under old Dr. Crawford of Philadelphia. He is a Knight of Py- thias and on the hotel committee, also on the railroad committee for the T.

words.

Edward V. Valentine, the Richmond sculptor, is making a model of statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee, and it will be passed upon by a committee appointed by the Virginia legislature next month It will be remembered that the last Virginia legislature made provision for lhe placing of statue of General Lee in the capitol at Washington, as one Of the two statues that the state is entitled to place there When this is done Virginia will be represented in the Nations Hall of Fame by Washing. ton and Lee, and it would be strange indeed if Virginias free choice in a matter that so deeply concerns her should be obstructed or thwarted
 The veterans who fought the Con. federacy. it is true, objected to the placing of statue of General Lee in the federal capitol, but public senti9 ment is becoming kinder, and the op. position is daily becoming less. No one in Virginia now anticipates any legal objection to the carrying out of Virginias choice.
 When the federal constitution was so written that it was confessedly open to two constructions as to the rights of the states, assuredly the one side was as right as the other Both were right. Both saw that it was a question of such deep import that it could be settled by the sword alone. and each fought for it's convictions. Gen. Robert D. Lee stood by his state as did every other Confederate soldier. Simply be- cause they fought and lost does not entitle any one to say they fought without convictions or without a deep sense of the issue involved. General Lee was true man in every relation of life. No soldier in the world fought more conscientiously than he did The decision went against him, but that fact in no way lessens his greatness as soldier or his integrity as citizen. Like his compeer, George Washington, he fought the government The one won, the other lost. Both were 'reb- els, and both were sincere and earn est in their contentious. Statues to their memory should stand side by side in the capitol, and Virginias courage in the matter deserves wide com- mendation.

REMARKS ABOUT MISS
 BURRITT AND HER CAT

essary to the effectual establishment of the great principle of protection, or indis- pensable to the perpetuaton of virtuous and pure government, the secretary, to- troller, the auditors, and the whole body of specialists and .experts-even if we have to draw upon New York for talent will assemble in one serried band of light and consecrate themselves to the defense of the nation against this threatened in- vasion by foreign cats.
 For our part. we regard with languor' if not indifference, the sordid aspect of the cat trade The question of revenue cuts some figure, of course. and there is much in the general question of smuggling. Of course, the nation must have money and, incidentally, domestic industry must be protected. Our infant enterprises are not yet in position to compete with the cheap and ancient enterprises of the over crowded and unprincipled old world Some day, perhaps. when our woodsheds and backwards shall have multiplied. we may be able to challenge foreign competi- ton. Meanwhile. an anxious and paternal government will do it's duty But these, after all, are minor considerations. What excites our patriotic admiration and per suades us of the ifnperishable glory of American institutions is this outpouring of official virtue and devotion over Miss Burritt's Persian cat. Falsified accounts. fraudulent contracts, gratis. pulls, con- spiracies, and plunderings-these affiict us to be sure. But as long as We know that the cat trade of our native land com mands the instant and enthusiastic solici- tude of the entire administration. so long shall we feel warranted in defying-even taunting-all creation.

invested in eastern securities it would have brought efeat deal of unhappi- ness and misfortune"
 Here is good, wholesome lesson in business. Home securities are prefer able to distant securities. managed by men whose interests are shifting and who have no regard for the individual investor. The story O. the Shipbuild- ing trust should be hung up in every office, store and exchange. It is full complication of methods in distant money eenters, and the south will do well to heed the lesson. MT. Newman's advice but confirms what the story of the Shipbuilding trust amply explains.
 There are, it is true, eastern securi- ties 1lat are sounder than those of the Shipbuilding trust, but not one of them is as trustworthy as home securities of known value and control. MT. New man speaks whereof he knows. He knows all the ins and outs of the en- tire Wall street world, and he un- qualifiedly advises investors in the south to put their moneys in home securities in order, as he says, to avoid a great deal of unhappiness and misfortune.
