Deen erected by >. L. White and
others for dancing purposes, and
here the program was carried out.
A stand had been erected at one
end upon which sat the Goddess of
Liberty during the program.
Judge T. Roger Mayo of Mead
ows, the orator of the day, delivered
a fine patriotic grafton that was
attentively listened to and frequent
ly applauded by the great gather
ing of people.
After the oration, the people
joined in singing america" led
by Miss Flora Davis at the organ.
The singing of this beautiful nation
al hymn was grand. 1t was not
sung by a band of trained voices,
but patriotism was behind it and
warmed the hearts of all.
A class of little girls then gave
an exhibition of flag drill to the
accompaniment of music, and it
was superb. Not single mistake
did the little ones make throughout
the entire exercise, which was quite
lengthy, and applause greeted them
frequently. The climax was reach
ed when they sang 'The Red White
and Blue" drilling the while.
Much praise was bestowed on this
feature of the program, which pleas
ed everyone highly, and Miss Muir
rel Davis who so carefully trained
them is to be congratulated.
The declamations were excellent
so much so in the girls contest that
t it took the Judges some time to ar

Birmingham, Oct. 12.-(Specia1 )--- Contractors today announced the erec- ton of coke ovens in the Birmingham district valued at more than s150.000. The Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron Company is having fifty ovens con- structed at Lewisburg and fifty at Searles. Part of the fifty at Lewisburg will be ready for the torch in the next few days. The company may let the contract for fifty more ovens at the same place.
 !. There. is such sharp demand for tcoke and the future prospects are go bright that every effort is being made to have the work row in hand com pleted at the earliest possible moment. The iron production in the Birmingham district Is steady and so much Of the product has been sold ahead that the future looks very bright. The coke production is not meeting the demand and therefore an effort Is being made to increase the output as much as pos sible.
 Reports from Ensley are to the effect that the production there at the steel works is big and should there be no interference during the balance of the month the largest output ever attained in one .Inonth is assured The rail mill canno. accept any new business for some months to come. faving moro orders on hand than can be handled in q reason- able time.
