created the board Of trustees of the

was known as an act providing for Az

any vacant land down in the valley

The candidate to withdraw was

Mr.. EXum's announcement follows
persistent rumors that have been 60
ing the rounds for the past week. His
friends have been urging him to seek
the mayors chair and he considered
the matter thoroughly before becom-
ing a candidate. His mind was not
fully made up in the matter until a
late hour last night. 1t has been
known for some time that Mr.. Seals

Whether he will be in the race is a
matter of conjecture and he will think
over the matter several days before
making a final decision A great many
of his friends have been after him to
get in the race and should he enter
it will make decidedly interesting
situation.
That Mr.. Seals would be a factor
in the race is undeniably true. He
has a great circle of friends who are
working for him and will make mat
tiers lively. He has resigned his con-
nection with the City Bank and Trust
company in order that he may devote
his entire time to his campaign. He
has made quite a record as police COM

Mayor O'Brien's withdrawal started
a great amount of talk. 1t came as 4
distinct surprise to the many who were
counting on him ae being very much
in the race. During recent months,
however, Captain Franks" health has
not been as good as it should have
been, and the duties of mayor of
Greater Birmingham are great and on
erous. At present he is at Pass Chris

The present dull condition of the pig
iron market is attributed partly to over
production. and in order to prevent a
further decline and to hasten, if pos
shle, a buying movement number of
furnaces in the north and several in
Alabama have been blown out.
The Tennessee company blew out fur
mace at Bessemer about two weeks ago
and another this week, leaving only one
of the Tennessee company's furnaces on
foundry in blast. The furnaces now in
operation in Alabama are as follows:
Tennessee Company: Six on basic and
one on foundry
Sloss-S Sheffield: Four on foundry.
Sheffield Coal and Iron Co.: One on
foundry.
Republic Iron and Steel: Two on foun-
dry.
Woodward Iron Co.: One on foundry
and one on basic.
Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron
Co.: Two on FOUNDRY.
williamson: One on foundry.
Central Coal and Iron Co.: One on
foundry.
Southern Iron and Steel: One on basic
and one on foundry.
Birmingham Coal and Iron Co.: One
on foundry.
In addition to the coke stacks there
are two charcoal furnaces in blast-the
Shelby Iron company one and the Eagle
