 The closing exercises of the Rogersville High school were held Monday and Tues day in the large auditorium of the school and attracted large and delighted audi ences The baccalaureate sermon was preached by the Rev. w. P. Mansfield of Gadsden. The school at Rogersville has four large recitation rooms in addition to the auditorium, and is source of great pride to the people of East Lauderdale. A strong effort is being made to locate the county high school there.
 Parthena Cole, a negro woman. was arrested here this morning on the charge of forging the name of Dr. J. M. Pearson to checks for $12.50 and 7.S5. The checks were both accepted by local merchants, and the forgery was not discovered until they were presented at the bank on which they were drawn, though they were clumsy limitations and Dr. Pearson's name was misspelled. The woman ac- knowledged passing the check for SIP. 50, but claimed that 1t was given her by Rich ard Vaughn, negro employed by Dr. Pearson. Officers went to the country to- day after Vaughn. but Dr. Pearson dis credits the woman's story duplicating Vaughn.
 This is not the Cole woman's first ven- ture in high finance, she having forged the name of E. A. O'Neal several years ago. but the case was compromised.

SOME NEW FIGURES FOR BIRMINGHAM Some Census Data on Local
 Manufactures INCREASE IS LARGE Capital Invested Shows Gain of 313 Per Cent in Five Years-Some Special Figures on Steam
 Laundries
INCREASE IS LARGE

Washington, May 19.-(Special.)- IA pre- liminary statement of the general results of the census of manufactures of the city of Birmingham, Ala, was issued today by Acting Census Director Falkper. It contains a summary comparing the fig ures for 1904 and 1909, by city totals, pre- pared under the direction of MT. William M. Steuart, chief statistictan for manu- factures, bureau of the census. The fig uTes are subject to such revision as may be necessary after further examination of the original reports.
 The summary shows large increases throughout, as follows: Three hundred and thirteen per cent in the capital in vested; 255 per cent in the cost of ma terials used; 21s per cent in the value of products; 1s1 per cent in the miscellaneous expenses; IFS per cent in the value added by manufacture; ITO per cent in the num- Der of salaried officials and clerks; 166 per cent in the salaries and wages; 126 per cent in the average number of wage earners employed during the year. and 1o3 per cent In the number of establish ments.
 In this connection it is proper to call attention to the fact that Birmingham, since the census of 1904, has so greatly extended it's corporate limits that the city now covers more than six times the area included in 1904. In that year it had a total land area of 4270 acres, but at the date of the Thirteenth census enumera tion the city limits comprised 30,SS1 acres. Hence the rates of increase shown in the summary are to a considerable extent due to annexation of populous suburbs in which manufacturing establishments all ready existed.
 There were PAS establishments in 1909, as compared with 122 in 1904, an increase of 12s. or 1OS per cent.
 The value of products in 1909 was s24,- 12s.ooo and s7,5ssooo in 1904. an increase of s16.535. 900. or 21S per cent The average per establishment was approximately S9S 900 in 1909 and about S62,000 in 1904
 The value of products represents their tually turned out by the factories during the census year and does not necessarily have any relation to the amount of sales for that year. The values under this head also include the amount received for work done on materials furnished by others.
 Further details can be drawn from the tabular summary which follows: Per cent of in- crease,
