 Enocks Entertains
 The statement of Judge Gary chair man of the United States Steel cor poration, to the effect that the sus- pension of work at the rod and wire mill at Corey was but temporary and that the plants now under construc- ton would be completed without ma terial delay, has brought much satis- faction to the people of this district generally but to the people or Ems ley and Corey in particular. The cause of the shutdown has not been stated, but 1t is emphatically denied by the officials of the Steel corporation that the shutdown was an attempt to coerce Congressman Underwood or to influence legislation. The declaration from New I ork is positive and there is little doubt that the work on the rod mill will soon be resumed
 The suspended employees have not yet been put to work, but 1t Is expected that in few days the activities will be resumed.
 At the present time force of men is at work on the roof of the immense main building, and as the covering will be of concrete many men are employed at this work
 The work on the by-product plant at Corey is being rushed to completion and an additional force of bricklayers was put to work yesterday.
 Altogether the situation Is encourag- ing and before many days the town will have assumed it's usual busy appear ance.

 Sergeant Brodie Resigns
 Desk Sergeant James Brodie of the Ensley division of the police force, re- signed his position yesterday, giving as a reason the duties were more than one man could perform and do justice to the city and to himself
 It seems the commissioners, in making the changes in the police court at this place, combined the duties of four men into that of desk sergeant, which Mr. Brodie tried conscientiousy to fill, and 1t can truthfuly be said for him that he never lay down on a duty or job in his life.
 Arduous as the duties were he essayed to fill them, but when they added an- other position, that formerly held by W. H. Davis, to the manifold duties he was already trying to fill, he resigned for the reason above given.
 A well-known employe of the city off, fee in Birmingham was offered the place, but when he came to Ensley and looked over the situation he most respectfully declined to touch the job with a ten-foot role. So the desk is vacant, and will remain so until a second "Ko-Ko' of NIikado fame can be found.
