FIRST ISSUE OF
"CIYIC OUTLOOK

Marion, July 1S.-(Special.)- 1.-The first
periodical edited by the ladies of the
Marion Civic league, has been issued
from the publishers. The first issue
carries IL pages of which 80 per
cent of the space is filled with attrac-
tive advertisements representing almost
every merchant and professional firm
in the town.
The initial issue is edited by Mrs.
Paul V. Bomar and sets forth the pri-
mary object of the league, together
already been accomplished by the
ladies in their effort to beautify Ma
rion and reclaim some of the towns
most historic features.
Marion, like many other older South
Alabama towns, has drifted into SEN
timental civic duties, and the time has
come when commercial ideas and i'm
proved sanitation must take the place
of present conditions.
To make the recommendations of the
league fully effective will require some
legislation by the city authorities and
to get this may require a change
in lineup Of city officials. The lea gues
reform idea has secured a firm hold
on the town and nothing less than en-
actment of ordinances along the lines
of sanitary and progressive ideas will
be accepted by the masses of persons
who are active in the work of the
league

iron for delivery over the last quarter
and Is cents per ton advance has been
obtained on a portion of the contracts
placed. The sales of foundry iron have
included only a small additional tonnage
for the International Harvester company
and the American Radiator company
The most significant buying has been
made by the railroads, but pipe works,
manufacturers of textile machinery, of
machine tools, hardware and general job
bling founders have been prominent pur-
chasers.
A large part, probably nine-tenths of
the business has gone to Buffalo, New
Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania pro-
ducers. Since July 1 eastern contracts
have reached 100000 tons and in Pitts
burg territory 100000 tons.
Liberal contracts have also been placed
for gray and malleable iron castings and
large sales made of hardware, notably
butts and hinges. In finished and semi
finished steel products additional liberal
contracts have been made, although there
has been a decrease in the volume of or
ders placed for fabricated structural steel
and wire products. There are more in
quiries, however, for plain structural ma
terial and important orders are pending
for car works and bridge shops. There
is more active demand for billets and
blooms, inquiries aggregating 10000 tons.
Contracts for rails have been placed for
$4,000 tons of heavy and light sections
and 1900 tons of light rolling rails.
Railroads have placed orders for via
ducts and bridges calling for 10000 tons
of steel shapes, but building orders act
ually placed have been only 1000 tons,
call for 5000 tons, making structural or
ders about 1900 tons.
Additional car orders have been placed
for 60O0 railroad cars and 1000 mining cars,
while orders are also pending for 1900
steel underframes for cars, calling for
1900 tons of steel.
Most of the steel mills are unable to
make shipments under six to eight weeks
and many of them not for three months.
Premiums of 81 to 81 per ton are being
paid for prompt shipments and even high
er prices for small lots to be shipped
from stock.

Admission, July 18.-(Special) -Represen
alive J. j. Arnold of this city, one of
the oldest-from standpoint of service
lower house of the legislature, was asked
what he thought of Governor Comer's call
for the extra session. He replied:
ut reminds me very much of the man
who did not know what was the matter
with him until he read the almanac,
when he found that nearly everything was
the matter with him. The governor s
message seems to indicate that we are
in a bad way, and it will take panacea
to cure u.s."
Mr.. Arnold says it will take fast work
to enact the legislation desired in the 60
provisions stipulated by Governor Conner
The constitution limits the extra SEES
sion to 30 days, but should the work not
be finished in that time another call can
be issued for second extra session, thus
prolonging the time.
M B. Wellborn, who helped entertain
them here, says he is of the opinion after
conference with the Seaboard officials

building of the Admission extension and
that he believes the road will build its
own terminal station in preference to
using the union station. He said that In
returning to Tredegar the party followed
the general course of the survey of the
proposed extension.
1t was reported that the Seaboard might
make a traffic arrangement with the
Louisville and Nashville by which its
trains would be handled over that line
from wellington. 1t seems to be the gen.
eral opinion among a number of Annis-
ton business men and large shippers
that this would be mistake and that
the Seaboard's best interests would be con-
served by building its own line into the
city.
