P|G IRON SHIPPED
 ID FAR OFF ITALY Thousand Tons Left Bessemer
 Yesterday WORK OF JUDGE GWIN Has Been Highly Complimented on First Weeks Presiding in Bessemer
 Court-Other News of
 Bessemer

Bessemer, November 26-(Special.)- One thousaid tons of pig iron were shipped from Bessemer today over the Louisville and Nashville railroad for Milan, Italy. The shipment required train of 35 cars. each loaded to it's capacity, and 1t will require the ser vices of two locomotives to haul the train to the gulf where the iron will be loaded on a vessel for its destina- tion on the shores of the Mediterranean n sea.
 This is but one of the many recent shipments that have been made to southern Europe, principally to Italy and Austria. It speaks well for the dis trict when southern iron can compete with the European product.
 The shipments are reducing the stock rapidly in the local yards, but there still remain many tons of iron. With the depletion of the stocks on the yards the hope is expressed that the fur naces will resume operations in the near future.

PREPARE HAND BOOK
 ON CITY HEALTH LAWS

The city health department is pre- pairing to have printed a little booklet containing all the laws and ordinances of the city touching on health and sanitary conditions. These will be kept in the office for the information of callers, while each sanitary officer will carry the booklet, so that he may show objecting persons the laws which they are violating. This, it is believed will do away with the misunderstood ing and embarrassment which has often developed heretofore when a sanitary officer attempted to enforce the health laws.

Only five or six hundred people went out to the fair grounds yesterday after noon to witness the aeroplane flights, and most of them were disappointed. Eugene Ely did not attempt the trial for altitude, announcing that his engine was out of order. There were only five flights made, and these were of the most ordi- nary type. Ely went up twice, but came down immediately both times, alleging that his carbureter would not work. Ward was up three times, remaining in the air 20 minutes on two occasions.
