Recent Carnival.

'The recent carnival In Mobile was the
means of bringing hundreds of visitors
to that city, many of whom were bona
fide prospectors, who purchased property
while In the south. The Mobile people
realize as never before the wonderful
wave of prosperity that is now sweeping
over the southland.

people in Mobile on this occasion than
ever before l had advice to the effect
that a party of sixty-five from Racine,

to investigate the industrial situation for

mingham district. We make 1t point
to study the situation very closely and
from my own observation l do not hesi-

HENDERSON TALKS
ABOUT INDUSTRIES
Industrial Agent Southern Rail-
way Discusses Situation
PROSPECTS ARE GREAT
Says Census Report On Manufacturing
Statistics of Birmingham Is Not
True as to Conditions.
Many Prospecters.

w. L. Henderson, land and industrial
agent of the Southern railway with head
quarters IN Mobile, was in the city yester-
day. In speaking of the industrial sit
uation in the south, he said:
1.-THE average man docs not or cannot
appreciate the wonderful progress that
Is being made in the Birmingham district
and In almost every other portion of the
great state of Alabama. The increase in
population is more perceptible at this
time than at any previous year during the
time that l have been engaged with the
Southern railway. If we are to judge
from the great number of inquiries that
We are receiving from people throughout
the north, east and west, from manufact-
urers In the sections where the raw
material has been in a large measure ex-
ufacturers using hard wood and various
other timber, we may expect great
many new plants to be established in this
section In the near future.
New Cement Plant.
'The cement company, which recently
bought property at leeuSi Aid.' Is tiie
first of number of Industries with large
capital and employing a great deal of
labor, that I expect to see established in
the district There is a good opening in
the same community for a large lime kiln
industry. Birmingham is very much in
need of large malleable iron industry,
With such an industry located here 1t
would no doubt be the means of loeat-
ing number of wagon and buggy fac
tories, as well as the plants for the man
ufacture of farming implements, which
is very much needed In this district to
say nothing of a number Of minor indus
tries which would naturally follow.
1.-THE community Is sadly in need of
fruit and vegetable growers, as well as
poultry farms. We have within easy
reach of Birmingham a great deal Of
land that is well adapted to these pur-
poses and we are working very hard to in
terest a number of people who will en-
gage in those lines of business, and I am
glad to see that we are meeting with
some encouragement.

British Misgivings.

When Sir Campbell Bannerman, the pre-
mier of England, entered into an alliance
with the labor party for the sake of inereas-
ing his chances of victory in the parlia-
mentary elections there were many Brit
ishers who shook their heads gravely in
doubt of the wisdom and safety of the
move They drew gloomy pictures of the
complications certain to arise They saw
conventions tumbling under the pressure of
factional demands. They shfvered at the
thought of lapse from the ancient order
of social and official precedence England,
