Evidences of Prosperity.

Birmingham is not only growing fast but I am struck with the sub stantial character of things here said George Kleine, a prominent Chicago lawyer.
 "I spent several days here about nine months ago and Birmingham looked well then, but many Improvements have been made since. On Saturday l was driving through beautiful residence sec tions of the city with MT. Sterling A. Wood and I marveled at the elegance of the new houses being ruilt. Yisi- tors who see the business district must be favorably impressed with the great extent of new and handsome con- struction work, but when they drive on the Highlands and along the fine roads outside of town they cannot but ex- claim at the enchanting scenery that unfolds at every turn.
 "All that one sees of the city streets, sidewalks, skyscrdper5, stores, churches and homes-indicates wonder full solidity on the part of this com munity. I have seen a good deal of the south but no southern city has made quite such strong impressions on me as Birmingham"

Value of Iron and Steel

The Iron Trade Review attempts to estimate in a necessarily rough way the value of the iron and steel industry in this country, using for that purpose the figures and prices of 1907. The figures for 1908 are still incomplete and the Review prefers those of 1907 because that was a year of maximum production and high prices.
 It computes the value of rolled steel products in that year at $800,000,000. The iron rolling mills turned out prod ucts worth $1OO,OOO,OOO. The value of steel castings was $4O,000,0O0, and the value of all pig iron passing to the foundry was about $125,000,000. Thus total of $1.O65 100000 is pre- scented as the value to the country of the iron and steel industry in 1907.
 It Is at any rate billion-dollar in- dustry, and it leads coal handsomely, for the latter presents total of but $615, 100000. and the. value of crude netroieum is but s12o. o.OoO.Oo0. Iron and

FiremeniS Strike Arbitration

Without difficulty the federal au- thorities under the Erdman act have found a third arbitrator in David C.. Barrow, chancellor of the University of Georgia at Athens. The acceptance of the place of umpire by Chancellor Barrow completes the board and as sures the consideration of the prob lem raised by the firemens strike on the Georgia railroad by three com petent men, namely, eX-Secretary of the Navy Herbert, Congressman Hard wick and Chancellor Barrow. The arbitrators will probably sit in Atlanta and their conferences will begin at once.
 The unionizing of the race issue will come before this board of arbitration. The white firemen on the Georgia rail- road really intend to put an end to the employment of negro firemen on that road. Whatever may be accom- plished in that direction on the Geor- gia road will be felt on every other southern railroad, for negro firemen are employed on all of them. In short, the race issue in all it's length and breadth will come before the arbitra- tors, and the adjustment that they have been appointed to make will be awaited with deep interest through out the south. No board has more difficult problem to consider.
 The makeup of the new board could not easily be bettered. MT. Herbert was selected by the railroads, MT. Hardwick by the white firemen, and Mr. Barrow by Chairman Knapp of the interstate commission. Chairman Knapp named Chancellor Barrow under the terms of the federal Erdman act.

Practical Words

Of Birmingham's younger business men not one perhaps is better known or more generally esteemed than Sid ney F. Lazarus, and when he is moved to write for publication it is safe to say that his remarks are worth con sidering. His letter, which appeared in The Age-Herald of last Saturday, was full of sound sense and was timely and altogether helpful in the matter of suggestion MT. Lazarus was call ing attention to Birmingham small industries and was discussing a few of the reasons why some of our manu- featuring concerns fail to attract the business they are entitled to. To begin with he says "The greatest trouble is due to the fact that the industries are hiding their lights under bushel basket" And he adds that flew of them really try to get Birmingham business" Among MT Lazarus tell
 
 ing paragraphs were these:
 "Too much talking is being done and not enough work. I heard one of Blr- mingham's big men make great deal of noise about getting more new indus | tries for Birmingham, but at the same l time his store is full of goods made out of Birmingham. signs are hung all over the place to let the public know that an article is for sale. when two or three concerns in Birmingham make a better l article for less money and spend at least l 5000 a year advertising them
 If the manufacturers here will adver- tise and the dealers will show that they appreciate by pushing the goods, the local manufacturers will not only sell their product in Birmingham but will be able to build up a paying business in Jeffer- son county, the state of Alabama and the whole south. Every one must do his I share. Talking does not count"
 The entire letter-about a half column in length-should be read by every manufacturer and every member of the Chamber of Commerce. If any | business man failed to read 1t on Sat urday he would do well to look up the paper even now and ponder MT. Laza- l rus practical words.

Come South, Young Man

The Washington Post thinks the bomeseekers of Iowa and adjoining states are making mistakes. "The word in Iowa." says the Post, "is Go to Canada, young man. and, thousands swarm into the Dominion and volun- tarily become subjects of King Ed ward. The cotton south, even that region of it east of the Mississippi river, is an infinitely more inviting field. The climate is all that can be desired. and the diversity of crops it admits of affords advantages to be found nowhere else on the North American continent-grain, cotton, the grasses, tobacco, sugar, rice, truck matches. fruits such as peaches, melons, berries, figs, and in some sec tions the citrus varieties. Later Will come livestock breeding, dairying, and wool growing. Go south, young farmer of the middle west Her soil and her sky invite you. So do her people"
 All very true, and the people or Alabama should flood Iowa with copies of soil surveys, together with state ment that three-fourths of Alabama IS uncultivated. Lands are cheaper in Alabama than they are in Canada, the differences of climate being considered.
 An Iowa farmer who blows deep could grow corn in this state, and cot ton also, and he would become indepen- dent long before a man in Canada could, while he would be living in a climate that Is enjoyable the year round. An Iowa farmer moves toward the north pole simply because he does not know the opportunities that Ala bama offers, and he never will know unless each county that has secured a soil survey organizes to place record of it's soil advantages before home seekers in the middle west.

The Great Horse. Hanover.

q feel a pride in the victory of Joe Madden, the colt that won the Brooklyn Derby Saturday. said man who has followed the sport of kings
 ''The purse, $5oO0. is fully up to the su- burban, the greatest stake in this coun- try.
 as to Joe Madden He was sired by Yankee the son of the great Hanover and was among those in the list of the last of the get of this the greatest post belum sire of this country. Owing to Hanover's' extreme age, and the affec- tion in which Milton Young and Morris, his owners, held him, acting upon the advice of veterinarians, they saved Han over from slow suffering death by chloroforming him. Among the colts last sent to the sale of thoroughbreds in New York from McGrathiana, the Blue Grass home of Hanover was Yankee whose dam was the celebrated Correction. He fetched the highest price ever paid for an unbroken 2-year-old at the end of the halter, GOO. I saw him in his stall before shipment, and he was perfection. Along with him were several half-brothers  and sisters, and they brought prices rang ing from $So00 to the top notch named.
 T wish to tell little of the sentimental side of horse breeding and racing. Reed, the turf writer of the Cincinnati En- quirer, like so many of the newspaper men, had passed out of life without leav ing any provision for his family He was the friend of many noted horsemen. The owners of Hanover donated to the fund raised for Reed one service fee, $500. This horse colt, whose dam was Holi- day. was named Luck and Charity and brought $14.500 at the same sale with Yankee. And so in this day if man has horse or a mare of the house of Hanover he has the best and most con- sistent blood lines on both sides this coun- try has ever produced"

ASKED FOR WORK.
John Mitchell Did Not Fall Into Ways
 of Professional Tramp.
John Mitchell in the Circle.

John Mitchell in the Circle.
 It was while en route, sometimes as pedestrian and at other times riding the rods or the bumpers or in the more con- fortable shelter afforded by the interior of freight car, that the demoralizing and degrading effects of unemployment were first brought under my observation. I came in contact with hundreds of young and middle aged men who, like myself, had either from choice or necessity left their homes to seek the more allurfng fields of the west. Most of these trav- elers were without funds, and it can be readily understood that it was difficult for so many to find temporary employ ment that would enable them to provide themselves with food. As g consequence many of these men, either through their inability to find work or because in their anxiety to reach the new Fl Dorado they were unwilling to be delayed by the slow process of seeking some work to do every time they found 1t necessary to satisfy their hunger, adopted the custom of the professional tramp and, instead of asking for work, asked for food or solicited money from the residents of the towns through which they passed.
 Here let it be recorded that in no in- stance have I ever seen or known a man to ask for bread or for money with which to buy bread that the performance did not cause marked shock to his finer feel ings and a deterioration in his character I have seen young men, for the first time in their lives, approach house with the intention of begging for something to eat, and when the door was opened by a girl or young woman they would turn away without voieing their request for food, their faces crimsoned with shame and confusion. But after few successful at- tempts to solicit food or money their self respect, their sense of pride and shame were destroyed, and 1t was not long be- fore they became hardened and calloused in heart and mind; they grew accustomed to the new environment, the desire and ambition to work left them, and in many cases they became permanent, profess sionai tramps and beggars.
 I have often felt that I owed to my stepmother at least one great debt of gratitude, in that she taught me to work. This lesson, along with the spirit of in dependence inherited from my father, saved me, no doubt. from falling into the great error of asking for or accept ing food instead of asking for and in- sisting upon work.

FOR BLOCKING SIDEWALK.
Policeman Carroll Arrests Two Young
 Men On Second Avenue.

pr. l.. c. Neil and his brother H. C.. Nell, were placed under arrest yesterday afternoon by Policeman Carroll for block ading the sidewalk at the corner of Second avenue and Twentieth street. They were taken to the city jail, but made bond within a few minutes and were released.
 Officer Carroll has made a splendid record during the past several months in keeping the Nineteenth and Twentieth streets corners of Second avenue clear, and has had but little trouble in request ing persons to move out to the curb line.
 Before requesting the two men to clear the sidewalk yesterday afternoon, he states, he made a round of the other three corners and then returned to this one to find them still there. Upon his request for them to move an argument arose and H. c. Neil is said to have cursed him. Carroll started to strike him and Dr. Neil caught his arm. The ar- rests then followed.
 The Messrs. Nell charge that the offi- cer is attempting to persecute them and say they are going to take the matter up with the police commission. Officer Carroll in turn states that they have attempted to make his duty hard for him by blocking the sidewalk each time they happen to be waiting on one of these corners, and that yesterday afternoon he allowed them to remain where they were for several minutes before requesting them to move in an effort to prevent hay- ing trouble.
