 Gentlemen-We have decided to accept the proposition made us last month to dispose of the Messages and Papers of the Conferedaey,' to a coterie of the most prominent southern ncwspapers-yours among the number. Nothing but the im- mense number of sets involved induced us to accept the offer. The first cost Of the book was very large Extreme care was used in it's production even after 1t was conpiled-as an instance--it was proot read nine times to insure excluding the most minute errors.
 Not set has been sold except in cases of small discount for cash for less than S in cloth or $l1 In half leather binding since the. work was issued last year.
 This work stand unique among books in as much as it. has had no predecessor, has no competitor and cannot possibly have successor. Yet 1t covers most vital and interesting points in southern history. It is the only book ever pub lished as a private enterprise under reso- lution of Congress.
 The public in your section should cer- tainly appreciate your public spirit and eagerly grasp the temporary opportunity you offer them to obtain this work. We can absolutely guarantee that they will never have similar chance. Yours very truly,

NORTH BIRMINGHAM
 PROSPERS GREATLY
Large New Industries Are Now
 Nearing Completion
OTHER PLANTS TO FOLLOW
American Cast Iron Co.'s Works Will Be Finished May 1-Frog and Crossing Co.'S Plant About
 Completed

Large plants follow each other in such rapid succession in North Birmingham that it requires constant checking up 10 keep run of them
 Among the manufacturing establish ments put Into operation al North Bir mingham within the past year are the Alabama Coffin and Casket factory, the Drop Forge plant, and the Fowler & Pureenett Lumber plant. Those that are practically finished are the American Cast Iron Pipe company's plant and the Bir- mingham Frog and Crossing company s works
 But these are not to end or even check the procession. There are four other big enterprises in prospect, in fact under negotiation, for North Birmingham and 1t is almost certain that before the great plant of the American Cast Iron Pipe company is running one or more new con- eerns will start to build.
 II was said on the best authority yes- terday that it is quite probable that de- finite announcement will be made within q week that one or more new plants are to be started in North Birmingham at once. One is to cost between s25O 900 and sS0O0OO
 Mammoth Plant
 The mammoth plant of the American Cast Iron Pipe company. representing ar investment of something like S5O0 900. will be turning out pipe by May l. Coal and other supplies are now being bought
 Ground was broken for this plant last October and Consulting Engineer C. W. Hill says the rapid constructive work breaks the record in this district. MT. Hill also says that it is one of the finest plants of any description in this sec ton. The building is of steel and Is 90 by 300 feet. The products of the works will be gas and water pipe,
 The factory of the Birmingham Frog and Crossing company. which is also modern and superior in design and con struction Is about completed and will soon be running al it's full capacity
 This company will manufacture railroad switch frogs and crossings.
 The plants that have recently been put in operation are all busy, and are running to their full capacity and some are be- hind with their orders.
 The North Birmingham Forge company is highly successful, and yet it has been in operation less than a year. It is ship ping it's products from Seattle to Pitts burg and is behind on orders
 The Dlmmlck Works.
 Among the older concerns the Dmmek Pipe works is, as usual. employing every available resource to keep up with it's orders. The company Is shipping at pres ent pipe for the Spring Valley water works of San Francisco. The plant is turning out at present three hundred tons of pipe day.

BUILDING NEW BIN.
New Furnace at Gadsden Will Prob ably Be Duplicate of Present One.

Gadsden, March 2s (SpeciaD Material has been placed on the ground and work will commence within few days on the construction of an immense new coal, ore and rock bin at the Southern Steel Companys furnace. The bin will be constructed from the present bin and will extend POO feet This will double the present capacity.
 Up to the present time the ore mines and rock quarries have not been devel- oped sufficiently to produce raw material enough to keep two furnaces in blast. However, since the requirement of much additional mineral land the properties have been opened up and the output will justify the building of new furnace.
 Plans for the proposed new furnace were perfected sometime ago, and the construction of this will begin in the near future. Many plans for the furnace have been submitted. but it Is thought that the present furnace will be duplicated.

strength and beauty. All these natural resources are al our doors awaiting the trained mind and hand to be converted into wealth. We have as yet no great university like that of Birmingham, Eng land, the metallic city of Europe, with schools of mines and metallurgy, chemical and textile schools. laboratories of phys ics and metaphysics where our ambitious youth can be trained for the higher and more useful walks of life. The day has not come nor the man appeared, to give Birmingham a great university, but the day is at hand and the times and condl- tions of our progress demand that we have great library for the better edu- ational advantages of our people. I know of four young men. the graduates from universities. who left this city for a great library in which to pursue their studes-one history. one sociology, one metallurgy and one electricity. Had Br- mingham library she would not have been the city to leave. but the mecca to which such young men would gladly come for educational advantages. The demands for culture press upon us as our Indus trial and commercial enterprises diversity and as our wealth increases.
 Now we have the opportunity to ae- cept q gift of sl00,000 library building ,on this condition, that we invest s10,000 a year for literature for the improvement of our people.
