Industrial Revival.

"By next fall business in the Birming-
ham district will be SO prosperous that
people will have forgot we ever had lit
tie period of depression" remarked
prominent business man who is in close
touch with banking and industrial inter-
ests. Already business in many lines
shows substantial improvement. The Ten
nessee company was never so active in
its operations at Ensley as now. 1t has
just resumed work at the Bessemer roll
ing mill, and within few weeks all the
be in operation again.
''It is safe to say that nearly all the
idle blast furnaces in the Birmingham
district will be blown in during the spring
The coming summer will find few men
out of employment. and before autumn
all the wheels of industry will be turn
ing, just as in the prosperous days be-.
fore last falls panic. In. the meanwhile
general trade is quite good and the dis
trict's pay rolls are larger in the aggre-
gate than they were five or six years
ago. There was a time when any indus
trial recession would have paralyzed Biz
mingham. That was before we had any
accumulated capital. Today the banks
are stronger than ever; many individuals
have wealth and thousands of wage-earn-
ers have saved enough money to weather
any sort of a rainy day.
when 1t is remembered that Birming-
ham did not begin to get on it's feet
until 1898, after period of exceptionally
hard times, it is really wonderful to
see how fast it has pushed ahead No
other city of its size could have made
anything like the record in progress that
Birmingham has made. But the city is
yet In its infancy, so to speak. 1t is gem
orally felt that from 1909 on this district
will thrive as never before. 1t will go
forward by great leaps"

Grandmother,s Pipe.

THE sight of an old-time negro woman
smoking a clay pipe this morning re-
vved memory of an almost forgotten
custom of our boyhood days. said a
gentleman in a reminiscent mood yester-
day. 'I can remember very well whea
our grandmothers in the country smoked
their long stem clay pipes and the Gus
tom did not jar on the sensibilities of
anyone.
There was something about the home
ly custom that appealed pleasantly to
my boyish mind and I regarded the to-
bacco box of my grandmother, which was
always placed handy at the corner of
the f1reside, as something sacred. The
fragrance was sweet and mysterious.
"Of course the smoking of pipes or
cigarettes by women in public places does
not appeal pleasantly to the modern taste,
but grandmothers were modest enough
and supremacy dear as they enjoyed theft
evening smoke at the homely fireside."

chattanoosa's Whisky Trade.

''In the distant future liquor drinking
may go out of fashion, said L. P. Roane
of Memphis, "but at the present time it
continues to be much in evidence, in
spite of the prohibition wave. 1 was in
Chattanooga last week and found the
liquor trade there on regular boom. L
was told that nearly 40 new firms had
opened whisky houses in Chattanooga and
all of them seemed to be doing business.
Chattanooga has a large shipping

the liquor is expressed to Georgia and Ala
