The smoker of the Commercial ana Industrial Association of Selma which was attended by President A. c. Forbes and Secretary l.. L. Gilbert or the Montgomery Commercial Club proved to be a most interesting and inspiring occasion.
 Fully seyenty-five of the most ac- tive and representative business men of Selma were in attendance at the ban -uuet and smoker which was at the Albert Hotel. President W. K. Pea cock of the Selma organization acted as toastmaster The program in- cluded addresses upon Sslma's Freight Bureau" by w. c. Agee. upon Civic Loyalty" by Mayor V. B. Atkins. upon "Greater Selma, by Solicitor w. W. OuarIes, upon Civic Improvement by Hugh Mallory, upon "Selma's Jobbing Interests" by MT. Ullman. upon "Sel- mas Manufacturing Interests" by Mir. Peacock, upon Benefits of a Live Com mercia1 Association" by A. c. Forbes and upon Methods of Maintaining Lo- cal Interest in Commercial Associa- tion." by L. l.. Gilbert. All the speak ers were enthusiastically received, and at a late hour the Association adjourn ed.
 Prior to the adjournment, F. M. Ab- bolt President of the Selma Street Railway system, in a written communi- cation donated the Selma Commercial and Industrial Association fifty acres of land to be used as sites for manufac- turing purposes. The donation was en = thusiastically received and shows the spirit of enterprise now existing in Selma.
 If the Commercial Club of Montgom- cry couli be put into the same posi- ton as the Selma organization by some Montgomery property owners. it would be of just that much more value to the community and hasten the location around Montgomery of desirable facto- ries, whose employees would largely in- crease citizenship.

 Will Blow in Furnace. The Shelby Iron Company, which owns two furnaces at Shelby. together with ore and limestone lands in the vicinity, has declared a dividend of 5 per cent. and the president of the com pany is authorized to begin prepara- tions at once looking to the blowing in of the second furnace of the conn
 pany, which has been idle for some
 time, charcoal to be used in the nanu- facture of iron.
 The Shelby Iron Company has been
 declaring big dividends for years, in
 fact the company, which is almost a
 closed corporation, has been enjoying
 the greatest amount of prosperity for
 years, charcoal iron being manufac-
 tuFed up to a few months ago. Char
 coal is so scarce that not enough could
 be secured to keep the furnaces in
 blast. One furnace was put to work
 on coke and Is producing that kind of
 iron. However, efforts are being made
 now to get charcoal and within fifteen
 or thirty days it Is expected that
 enough charcoal can be procured to
 warrant the operation of the plant.

 the Shelby Iron Company, has just re-
 turned from New York. where the di-
 rectors in the company held the meet | s0 ha dividend mi

 Old Steel Plant to Resume. The Republic Iron and Steel Com pany will next Sunday put in operation the two steel furnaces at the Birm- ingham rolling mills These furnaces were the first used to demonstrate that open hearth steel could be mauufac- tured from the iron of this district,
 For several years, in fact ever since the
 Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad Com
 pany built the plant at Ensley, these two furnaces have been idle. James Murphy has been placed in charge of the furnaces and they are being dried out. It Is expected to produce 100 tons of steel daily. Such steel as is toe hard for the rolling mills will be sent to | Ensley for rail making in exchange for which soft steel will be furnished | from the Ensiey plant. It is given out on very good authority that a new company is about to locate in this dis | trict to manufacture the heavy steel springs used hy the railroad car build | CTS. Tests are being made now as to the adaptability of the Birmingham steel for the springs. There appears to be but little doubt but that the plant will be located
