INDUSTRIAL REVIEW

Birmingham News: The Birmingham Age Herald in its issue of last Sunday in- cluded a supplement of twenty-four pages composing an annual industrial review of Birmingham and the Birmingham district The supplement is carefully and attrac- lively prepared and contains much in- formation about general business condi- tions here It is an interesting and val uable contribution, especially in business circles, and cannot fail to be helpful as an intelligent and comprehensive ad- vertisement for Birmingham and the Bir- mingham district. The editor of the Bir- mingham Age-Herald and his associates deserve credit for the way in which this supplement has been prepared,
 Birmingham Ledger: The Age-Herald issued It's annual industrial edition Sun day morning. It consisted of sixty pages of brains, business and literature. The n- dustrial editions of Alabama papers have, of necessity, to be better every year. The business of this district grows so rapidly that what was good last year is out-of date this year. The ge-Heralds figures and facts are well prepared and well presented. The edition is the best that paper has yet issued. and all its issues have been good. The magazine section consisting of condensed and digested facts, is a fine compendium.
 To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I congratulate you upon the edition of Sunday. It is a gem. The high water mark of southern journalism was at tained. It is chart and compass combined; !; chart in indicating what there is in Bir- mingham now, and a compass pointing to a greater Birmingham. It is a gospel of what has been achieved, and prophecy of what there remains to be done. It is an anchor to those who had faith. and a motor to encourage the young of brain and brawn." It Is an invitation to all who would enjoy Fl Dorado. Sincerely, SAMUEL ULLMAN,
 Birmingham. December 4. 1905.

Signs of Business,

"There have been several things in railroad circles recently which have been indications of the immense increase in business that the railroads are enjoy- ing said railroad man yesterday. "Of course the immense amounts of money that the railroads are spending in Bir- mingham are the best indications of the prosperity and the future of Brming- ham, but l am talking about little things
 For instance the Louisville and Nash. vile railroad has had to increase it's force of transportation men in Birming- ham. Recently the Alabama Great South ern railroad created the office of train master of the southern end and the Fris- co system established dispatcher's of. flee in Birmingham. Today came the an- nouncement that the Southern had found it necessary to create the office of mas ter of terminals in Birmingham.
 Tn each instance the railroads have stated in giving out the facts about the

Pittsburu of America

The marvellous growth of the Bir- mingham district is a matter of aston- ishment to the stranger who happens to wander this way" enthusiastically ex- claimed B. F. Kaufman of Columbia, Pa, who was In the city yesterday
 Several years ago when 1 made my first trip to this section l was simply astonishsd at the conditions found to ex- ist and the very apparent possibilities of this district. Why, you who live in Ala bama do not begin to appreciate the ad- vantages you really possess
 "I have often heard the expression that Birmingham is the Pittsburg of the south. l consider 1t more than this. It is really the Pittsburg of the United States. Pitts burg does not begin to compare with Birmingham in point of manufacturing advantages
 "Pittsburg is not far from coal, but iron ore and limestone have to be shipped from great distances. Here you have all these materials in wonderful combinations and in plenty. Birmingham m can manufacture iron and steel and ship it to Pittsburg at a profit over that city g production Birmingham is truly the greatest manufacturing possibility in the country and there Is no estimating the prosperity that is coming to this district in the next few years to come.
 Why, my stories of Birmingham S greatness are not believed by my friends in Pennsylvania, and it is impossible for me to tell half the truth as I see it."

Sure cts Torn Up.

"The newly paved streets of Birmng- ham are torn up just as soon as they are paved" said a man who drives a great deal and has no little trouble with the rough streets. "I have watched the mat ter carefully and just as soon as the paving is laid on street either the warter works people lay a pipe or the railway, light and power company lays a steam heating line or something simi- lar. If neither of those have to tear up the street then it becomes suddenly urgently necessary for some one to put in sewer connections.
 'I think that the city should arrange these matters that the streets would not have to be torn up all the time It would be easy for the city to establish custom that the new paving could not be torn up for five years after they are laid. and notify the Water Works com pany and the street car company that any Improvements they desired to make must be made before work on the paving commenced. This is done in other cities and there is no reason why it could not be done in Birmingham.
 No piece of cloth that has been re- paired is as strong or as good as it was before the repairs were made. Just in the same way no street paving is as good as 1t was before 1t was torn up and re- laid. Wherever a street is relaid one can always tell the difference when driv- ing over it. l would like to see the may or take this matter up and prevent any one else from tearing up the streets which have just been paved"

A YOUTH killed himself the other Vk day because he was surfelted with pleasure. The mood which prompted him to do the deed was like that of the old Romans who drank poisoned wine at the banquet table and expired in the arms of their friends, convinced that they had drained the cup of life to the dregs and that only the lees remained. To them it was better to end life at the crest rather than wait for the slow de- cline, the enfeebling grip of old age and the relentless march of disease. They stood at the top of the hill drunk with pleasure, and died gladly, rather than face the ruin which dissipation eventually brings. Luckily, there is not yet enough wealth in this country to permit of the degeneraey and idleness of splendid Rome" Will the day come when Ameri- cans will seek escape in death from pleas ures bought with gold?
 DRIFTING.
 There's a little cottage
 By a mountain stream
 Where cheerful fireplace
 Temps a chap to dream.
 Books we'll worth the reading,
 Pipe, tobacco's there;
 And for solid comfort
 Just an easy chair.
 Here one likes to ponder
 On the days gone by;
 Call up treasured faces
 Greet them with a sigh
 Makes fellow wonder
 Whats the use to toll
 When there's peace and comfort
 Living near the soil.
 Madly men are striving
 For the bauble, Fame,
 But the most are beaten
 Tis a losing game.
 In a mountain cottage,
 By a mountain stream,
 Why not be a loafer?-
 Read and smoke and dream?
