 Hardwood Industry.
 CT have been greatly imprssssd str,, wirn during nay trip, said Montgomery man who has but recently returned from South Alabama. ,I s.The number of hardwood mills that have been established in the past three years in South Alabama and in West Alabama mas ben astonishing. A few wears ago the only interest that amounted to anything in the Jumper line was the yellow pina interest. NOW practically every acre of pine land has been bought up by some big milling com cern. by some big land company, or by some individual who Is a large holder of timber lands. In the meanwhile. the swamps and banks Of streams where the pine people have not been or where they have left quantities of ash. pop lar and gum trees, are becoming val uable to their owners for their hard wood. The new mills which have gone bama and they have helped to enrich some of those who were already here"

 Burgtars Are Burglars. 'I notice that among the list of sto- len articles recently recovered by the police. were many watches and guns" said a citizen last night. The burglars who have been raiding Montgomery households seemed to have particular penchant for this class of plunder. This ls some what surprising as 1t is easier to Identify this class of good than al- most any other Both guns ana watch es are numbered by the maker and 1t Is easy to trace them It is often sur prisin0 that rot CT who is canahle of planning and executing clever burglar les. will display lack of Judgment In some little thing which will lead to his arrest
 Among the Birminghsm visitors to the capital yesterday were Messrs. H. A Adams and B. c Rynum.
