cred in the room where he was at work. As if he realized that he had but a few minutes in which to live, he had dropped to hise knees and with uplfted hands he had sought his Maker in prayer.
 Mir Stucky was devout Christian, a man who had always lead a Christian life. His body in death was found as it had been many times in life, bent in prayer. When found his body had fallen over to one side little and Mas leaning against the side of the wall of the room where he nad been working.

$3OO,OOO PLANT
 FOR THE DISTRICT
American Bridge Co, Will Soon
 Operate in Birmingham
A NEW LOCAL CORPORATION
Birmingham Bridge Company, capl- talked at $5ooo, oreanlzed-Fore- runner of Big Developments.
 John c. Forney, President.

That the eyes of the industrial world are fixed on the Birmingham district was freshly illustrated yesterday when the Birmingham Bridge company, capitalized at 5000, was incorporated in the probate court
 Though the capital stock of this corpor- ation is relatively small, it nevertheless represents purposes and plans that will lead within a few months to the invest ment of not less than $30O. GOO for the con- struction and operation of a large build ing plant to be situated probably in North Birmingham.
 It is understood that corporation that does more building work than any other in the country Is interested in this move ment and that 1t will speedily devote its attention to the Birmingham district.
 Backed By Enormous Capital.
 In as much as the ineorporators of the Birmingham Bridge company are inti- mately connected with the larger bridge building corporation in the east. there Is reason to believe that the local incor- porators are acting with the knowledge, consent and advice of the eastern people. In fact they are the local representatives of the enormous northern corporation capitalized at $6700O,OOO
 About a year ago a local bridge com pany was organized in Atlanta, under very much the same auspices that the Birmingham Bridge company is incorpo- rated here. A few months thereafter it was absorbed by the s67.OOO. GOO eastern corporation, it's capital stock largely in creased and it's work tremendously ex- tended
 The Birmingham Bridge company pro- poses to manufacture steel and iron, to buy and sell the same, to convert steel and iron into structural material to be used in the erection of bridges, buildings or other objects used in the composition of any building. structure or improve ment It also proposes to contract for the building and erection of houses, buildings, bridges or any other structures in which steel and iron are used, and to build and erect the same.
 The amount of it's total authorized capital stock is $5O00 which is divided into fifty shares. each share being valued at $lO0
 lncorporators and Officers.
 The incorporators are John c. Forney, Birmingham; Warwick H. Payne, Att lanta, and L. l. Collins, Cedartown, Ca. These three men form the company's board of directors for the first year.
 John c. Forney is the president of the new corporation and l.. l. Collins is it's secretary and treasurer.
 The fact that John C. Forney, the pres dent of the new corporation, is the Ala bama attorney for the American Bridge company of New York is taken to indi- cate that the mammoth $67000000 build ing corporation will soon begin 10 operate in the Birmingham district.
