NEW YORK. Sept. 1s.-It appears
that William K Vanderbilt's disclaimer
of racing interest meant that he would
not again be an active participant, and
not that he would cease to be a patron
of the sport
The fact is that a great deal of his
time just now is being given to the
details Of the Long Island motor park
way construction.

PIG IRON MARKET
 IS MORE ACTIVE
INQUIRIES ARE MORE IMPORTANT AND TONNAGE COUNTS UP-SlT- LAYTON HAS DISTINCTLY IM- PROvED-SOUTHE IRON.

The pig iron market is increasing in important than at any time since the market began to revive, but this month S sales made by various Birmingham dis trict companies from day to day if to- taled, would show quite a large tonnage.
 President Mcqueen of the Sloss- Sheffield returned from New York yes terday. He says his company is firmly maintaining the $1950 schedule which was announced January 1 and which the Ten nessee company and certain other south ern concerns had adopted and which they have strictly adhered to.
 Matthew. Addy & Company's Cincin- natl repor. says:
 The week has been marked by several large orders. IFp to this time the pur- chasing has been in small lots. Recent ly five hundred tons has been a big or der This kind of buying has shown con clusively how cautiously consumers were entering the market They have been taking no great chances. But there has been something of change. for two cast iron pipe makers have between them bought a quantity in excess of 5000 tons for delivery February, March and April. Then the general buying has been on a much more extensive scale, several 1000 and 1.5o0 ton orders testify. The situation has distinctly improved.
 At the present time southern iron is most in evidence. Northern iron sales have been only fair. while the bulk of the orders have gone to the south. This is due to the fact that southern prices are more attractive just now than northern prices.
 Production of pig iron has not mate rially increased. While consumption is still on a minimum, basis, yet it is prob- ably the case that more iron today is being melted than is being made.
 The general feeling is that the down ward progress in the market stopped shortly after the beginning of the new year, and that the trade has again start ed on the uphill grade.

UPSTATE CROWDS
 WILL JOIN BRYAN
SHORT SPEECHES WILL PROB ABLY BE MADE AT SEVERAL PLACES AS THE TRAIN PASSES THRoUGH-THE COMMITTEES.

 Next Thursday. the 2Sd, will be the day on which the two democratic probabilities will honor Birmingham with their presence. That the visit is being awaited with interest all over the state is shown by the number of persons outside Birmingham who have signifed their intention of being In Birmingham on that day. Several thousand visitors are expected to be on hand.
 The towns on the Louisville and Nashville railroad from Nashville to Birmingham are getting very much in- terested and delegations will board the train at their respective towns and travel to Birmingham with Bryan and 11dFIlOH. T I've Illiule duuIeSseS VIII probably be delivered at a number of the towns altho ough the early hour at which the train will pass through them will prevent this from being done in the towns in the most northern part of the state.
 Cullman will be wide wake, though, when the train reaches that town, and arrangements are being made by the MT. Bryan warm reception, even though 1t will last but few moments.

VANISHED Coffee Finally Had To Go.

The way some persons cling to coffee even after they know it is doing them harm is a puzzler But it is an easy matter to give it up for good, when Postum Food Coffee is properly made and used instead.
 A girl writes: "Mother had been suffer- ing with nervous headaches -or seven weary years, but kept drinking coffee.
 "One day I asked her why she did not give up coffee as cousin of mine had done who had taken to Postum. But mother was such slave to coffee she thought it would be terrible to give it up
 Finally, one day, she made the change to Postum. and quickly her headaches disappeared. One morning while she was drinking Postum so freely and with such relish. asked for a taste.
 "That started me on Postum and I now drink 1t more freely than I did coffee which never comes into our house now.
 "A girl friend of mine one day saw me drinking Postum and asked if it was coffee. I told her it was Postum and gave her some to take home, but forgot to tell her how to make it.
 "The next day she said she did not see how I could drink Postum. I found she had made it like ordinary coffee. So l told her how to niake it right and gave her a cupful l made after boiling it 1a minutes She said she never drank any coffee that tasted as good, and now cofs fee is banished from both our homes."

REPUBLICANS BUSY
 IN LOCAL POLITICS
MEETING CALLED BY DAVIDSON WAS WELL ATTENDED-JT WAS DECIDED TO PUT OUT A FULL MUNICIPAL TICKET.

At a meeting held in Magnolia hall last night probably the first republican club in Birmingham's history was or ganlzed. The attendance numbered fully zoo ana was full of snap and enthusiasm all the. way through. Gen. F. S. Fergu- son was elected as chairman and Franl, Req as secretary of the club. with Alonzo Green as chairman, and w. M Railev as secretary of the executive commit tee' The meeting was called to order py Julius w. Davidson, who took an active interest in working up the chb
 The club appointed committees to draft a constitution and bylaws and will ora sent municipal ticket at the next cleo uoh' several prominent men were men toned for Mayor on this ticket, namely. James Bowron, Erskine Ramsay. I c Maben and T. G. Bush.
 National affairs were spoken of but lit- tie, the discussion of municipal affairs being the topic. There were several speakers, all of whom dwelt upon the present as being the time for the re- publicans to step in and take a hand in the city's affairs. One speaker mentioned the names of several men who are being touted as republican candidates for President, which resulted in something O. a surprise. When the name of Taft was mentioned scarcely any applause fol- lowed. Hughes was next mentioned and his name received liberal applause. as did Foraker and Fairbanks The sur- prise followed when Cannon's name was mentioned. The applause lasted for sev- eral minutes
 The speakers were Gen. F. S. Ferguson, w. H. Standifer, Dr. w. W. Masterson. William Vaughn, J. c. Manning and D. K. Middleton. Messrs Mannings and Middleton's speeches especially being the features of the evening
 The club will not be confined to Bir- mingoam alone, but will be known as the Greater Birmingham club. A committee of 25 was created on organization, and a committee of F on bylaws Both of these committees will be named later by Chairman Ferguson.
 It was announced that another meeting would be held in the same place two weeks later. A large Ensley delegation was on hand, and took a great deal of interest in the proceedings. It was also announced that a meeting would be held in Ensley on next Wednesday and Dr. Masterson, Julius w. Davidson. J. O.. Thompson and J. c. Manning were in- vited to address it.
 The meeting was very gratifying to Mir. Davidson and the other men who had worked it up, who expressed them selves as being confident the republicans would make a great fight for municipal offices.

PIGS CAUSE LAWSUIT. Little Porkers Escaped From Sty and
 Killed Chickens.

A rather unusual case came up before Judge A. c. Howze in the second division of the criminal court yesterday morn ing. The plaintiff in the case claimed that the defendant had let vicious Frank F. Miller, Register in Chancery killed number of chickens. Evidence was introduced to show that the defend- ant had built pen for the hog upon finding that it was killing chickens, but a little pig weighing 13 pounds had learned the trick from its mother and made nightly ravages, carrying off nine fowls in one night. A prosecution fol- lowed.
 Judge Howze in ruling in the case stated that if he was trying the pigs he would have no doubt as to their guilt but it being the defendant, he was not sure that he had knowledge of the little pigs mischief and on these grounds he discharged the defendant in the case

COL. MCCLURE WRITES
 LETTER OF THANKS
FRIEND OF IRMINGHAM IN THE EARLY DAYS NOW EXPRESSES APPRECIATION FOR WORDS OF CHEER.
Weather conditions for q hours endir

A letter from A. K Mcclure, the vete- ran capitalist and publicist, was received by Secretary Joseph B. Babb of the Com- mercial club yesterday. expressing appre citation for the telegram of congratulation sent while he was at a birthday dinner given in his honor in Philadelphia last week. The occasion was the celebration of his S0th anniversary.
 MT. Mcclure visited Birmingham in it's early days and the glowing accounts he wrote to his home newspapers of the won- Gerful prospects of this district created great sensation, one of the prophecies he made being that Birmingham iron would some day undersell Pennsylvania iron right in the state of Pennsylvania. Ac- cording to this letter he still holds very good opinion of the Birmingham district.
 The letter reads as follows:
 Philadelphia, Pa, January 15, 19oS. .Mr. Joseph B. Babb. Secretary Commer-
 cial Club, Birmingham, Ala.
 My Dear Friend: The congratulations your club telegraphed to the birthday dinner given to me a few evenings ago were among the most gratifying express sions of the evening. It is always great pleasure for me to hear from Birming- ham, as l saw it in swaddling clothes, when it had single furnace, and wrote very elaborate letter to my newspaper predicting It's future success and the cer- tainty that it would undersell Pennsylva- mia iron in our own market within ten years. The single furnace then there was conducted, I think, by MT. Tilman, who showed me his coal mine and took me all through his establishment, and from his books explained to me that he was malz- ing iron then at $9.50 ton. The cost of manufacturing iron in Pennsylvania at that time was $16.00. I have been there several times since, and the last time l had the pleasure of meeting your people, l received a most generous ovation and hospitality. 1 was glad to see a great city grown up with every evidence of prosper ity, and the great iron center of the south. The infirmities of advancing years make it quite probable that I shall never get to see your people again, but, while life shall last, I shall always have the most grateful memories of their kindness.
 Sincerely yours, A. K. M CLURE.'

sduarely, and my position in reference to any question or matter that may conserve the best interests of Greater Birmingham and her people shall be advocated and supported by me without regard to conse- quences personal to myself"
 MT. Kettig announced during the after noon that he would not be in the race. He said:
 'I am deeply sensible of the high com pliment paid to me by my friends who have overwhelmed me with their solicita- tons to become a candidate for mayor of Greater Birmingham, and it would be base ingratitude on my part if I were to even appear insensible to such evidences of esteem on the part of men of the high est standing in the community in which have spent the greater part of my busi- ness career, but I regret exceedingly that on account of my present relations to the business interests with which I am asso- ciated, it will be absolutely impossible for me to become a candidate for this high honor.
 q wish to add, however, that I am in favor of good, honest and economical ad- ministration of the ,city's affairs and ex- pect to take as active a part as possible in the coming election'
