On Authority of Edmonds.

The statement has been frequentlty made that Alabama is more richly en- dowed in iron and coal than any other section of the country. For such a statement to carry its full weight 1t must bear the stamp of some author- ity, however, as such statements may be easily made and they may carry no weight or thought The authority that goes so we'll with such an assertion Is furnished by Richmond H. Edmonds, the talented editor of The Manufactur- CTS Record, who has said, Alabama, more richly endowed than any other State in the Union in its ability to produce iron and steel at lower cost than any other section of the world. Is claiming the attention of the leaders of finance and industry"
 The acme of corporate wealth was supposed to have been reached when the United States Steel Corporation was formed and capitalized at more than $1,300O00 It was the biggest thing ever formed. the climax of "aggran- dized wealth." And yet the several large companies which do business in Alabama own far more coal lands and iron lands than does this colossal cor poration. And one should consider, too, when he is considering the inevitable comparison between the iron district of Alabama and the iron district of Penn sylvania that while Pennsylvania only produced in 1903 650.0o0 tons Of iron ore. Alabama this year will produce over 3,5oo,0o0. And in pig iron the Alabama product will this year very
