NEW JURY LISTS
BEING PREPARED
Three Thousand Jurors Now
Required Every Year
BOARD CALLS FOR NAMES
Selections Will Be Made From the
Lists Furnished BY Well Known
Men In Each Beat In
the County.

The Board of Revenue began yesterday
the revision of the jury list Frequent
complaints have been made recently
about the Jury list. many of the names
being those of men long since dead or
departed from the county, while many.
whose names should be on the list, have
escaped jury service thus far
In his address to the jury a few days
ago Solicitor Helm drew attention to
this matter in very forcible language and
asked that immediate action be taken by
the Board of Revenue to revise the jury
list SO that the difficulty in securing good
juries might be reduced.
At a meeting of tho members of the
Board of Revenue it was decided to enlist
the assistance of citizens of jefferson
county in this task. The following letter,
signed by Chairman John T. Reid, has
been sent to all the leading citizens in
the county:
You can confer a great favor on the
Board of Revenue, as well as performing
very necessary duty to your county by
carefully looking over the list of voters
in your beat who would be eligible and
make good jurors.
'All persons who are over p and under
Co. of good bodily health, sound mind,
and can hear well, are eligible to jury
duty; and druggists, DOCTORS dentists,
lawyers, military men, and persons In the
United States service. school trustees and
all employees of the Alabama Great
southern railroad are excused from Jury
duty.
You will carefully select every man
who you think would make a good juror,
write his name and initials plainly, also
his occupation"
The chairman of the board hopes to
secure a list of names and addresses
which will meet all the requirements of
the case. lie says that men living in
the district are better acquainted with
the residents than are the members Of
the Board of Revenue, and that 1t is to
everyone's interest to have the jury list
made up OF intelligent and honest men,
With the additional courts, which will
be in operation after April /. it will re-
quire about 5000 Jurors to meet the annual
demands of jury trials.

Finally my heart trouble and head
aches grew so much worse and my nerves
became so shattered that any unusual

all over as if had the ague. Medicines
did not help me and I could not do my
homework satisfactorily, SO / asked my

vanished and with It has gone the head
aches. my nerves have grown steady
and my head clear. I can do my work

Matthew Addy G co.'s report follows:

| Matthew Addy & Cas- report follows:
| There has been during the week a
| large increase in the demand for spot
iron. From all parts of the north there
| has been a sudden call fer iron for i'm
| mediate shipment. Not only this, but
customers are more insistent than ever
in the matter of hurrying forward iron
On back orders, and they are also begging
to have shipments Of iron not yet due,
anticipated. Consumers who have iron
coming to them for April are asking as
special favor that it be shipped now
| But not one furnace in twenty is able
to accommodate customers in this mat
Ter, to the extent of even a single car
load As matter of fact the furnaces
are not getting in any better shape as
the season progresses. On the contrary
Just now the situation is really worse
than 1T has been. and the country is fac
ing real shortage of iron. The floods
i'll the Ohio valley forced no less than
thirty-seVen furnaces in the Pjttsburg
district alone to bank. In other paris
OF the country furnaces are in trouble
Whlle the mining of coal and the move
ment of coke have been seriously inter-
rupted. So it is that during the week
production has been tremendously re-
Guced. 1t will take some time before at
fairs are in normal shape again. The
have found their usual sources of supply
suddenly shut off, and they have been
forced to so into the general market to
ind what they could. This has resulted
IN an unexpected jump in inquiry for
quick or nearby iron, SO that this week
the demand for it has been four or five
times what it was a few weeks back. AS
Tor iron for forward shipment there is
but little change, though there is a steady
booking of orders for the last six months
of the year.
1t looks now as If nothing could possi
Dly happen for months to come that could
chanSe present strenuous conditions Even
In the south. where spring has really
come, our information is 10 the effect that
production cannot be increased, but that
1t will probably diminish.
Prices for the last half are unchanged
For quick shipment quotations are higher.
Coke has been decidedly more active.
and a fine business has been done.
