 In the city the negroes have their own streets In the business section, where their stores and business houses are located Of course they mix mora CT less with the whites on the streets and do a large trade with the white merchants but the greater part of their business is confined to their own stores in their own district. They have their own saloons, their own schools. their own banks, their own physicians, law yers, preachers, picture shows and oth- CT amusement and business establish ments. Of course there are few of the race in this section of the country that have a high education and are refined and cultured. But the masses is what l have been trying to describe to you.

A Nice Distinction
knotW

From the Chicago Record Herald.
 Senator Gronna. discussing a knoftY tariff problem. said in a speech:
 There Is a nice distinction involved here. You don't notice 1t at first. Onco it is pointed out to you. however. you perceive it's immense importance.
 Its the sort of distinction that Gobsa Golde's beautiful young wife revealed to him during eonjugal quarrel over a die mond tiara.
 People say, quavered the old man. trembling with rage. People say you oniy married me because l had ~money.'
 The young woman smiled superbly.
 Rubbish she exclaimed. My prl- mary reason for marrying you was that | had no money myself. l" NJ

 one representation we northerners often hear about the southerners Is true as far as I have been able to as- certain. That is their hotbloodedness. Of course the Kentucky gunmen and feudists are more or less myth, but taken as a whole a southerner in Ken lucky or any of the other states will shoot you u whole lot quicker than a northerner. They are naturally hot tempered and they still have that old fogy idea that 1t is chivalrous to Kill a man in order to right wrong. ln- stead of going into court over it. Some os the most prominent business and professional men in Birmingham are cold blooded murderers. 1 myself in the few years l have been here have seen two absolute murders committed by white men against white men and both of the parties who did the shoot ing were never even sent to jail. I don't mean to convey the impression that this Is 2 wild west. blood and thunde' country. These conditions are fast disappearing. But nevertheless they are still here to q certain extent and d stranger coming in here from tho north to live Is bound 10 notice f. Court procedure in Alabama is very awkward and unwieldy. Conviction oi white men for murder has been almost an impossibility until within the lasi year. These things are slowly undergo ing reformation, however, and prac- tical results are becoming noticeable already.
 1 The southern women do not do houco work like the northern women. Every woman down here who can possibly afford 1t has negro help. Of course | mean the real descendants of the ole southern people. There are man, i northern people here who live practi cally like they did in their nativ, | heath. But the servant idea is merely another tradition born in the south ern women and handed down from thu times of slavery.
 The "chivalry" and the family characteristics of the southerner arr fast being absorbed by the people nov ing in here from the east, north anC west It is true that among many O. the pure blood southerners their frs question regarding stranger Is, "WhI were his parents?' and in speaking O i this person and that person they al ways refer to their connections witt 'the best families of the south" n' matter how big a blackguard or rasca the person or his ancestors may hav' been. But in the majority of cases out side of one or two certain aristocrati' southern cities. of which Birmingham is not one, the question asked is What can you do?" or Who arc you? 1 The family bugaboo" Is encountere' very often, however. and many time

 You will find great many north erners among the white people in the south This is true especially in tho cities. It has been northern capital. in the general sense of the word, that has developed the industrial and much of the agricultural resources of this section The civil war left the south in such a depleted and stricken con d.tion that it would have been many more years in recovering had not northern capital and labor been brought Eere. Among the real, genuine south erners I was surprised and you will be surprised to find the half hidden and almost dormant bitterness toward the north and the people of the north The civil war, with all that 1t meant 10 those who took part in it or lived during Its bloody four years, is far more forgotten in the north than in the south. Here you will often hear them speak of the Yankee" with the same bitterness and derision that must have been used In the eos. l myself have heard political speeches where sor of the old south stood on the public rostrum and belabored the candidate CT faction to whom he was opposed because he was a northerner or mar rled northerner or visited q north erner or fin some way was connected with that section which during tho civil war period was known as the north" l have heard the governor of this state, himself a born and native southern man. made the subject of one of the bitter public attacks l ever witnessed, simply because he had vis- ited in New York and had accepted the invitation of the New York Chamber of Commerce to deliver an address be- fore that body. The denunciation was made by his political enemy and all the old. fanatical arguments of the civil war period were revived and used. That Is something I never witnessed at home and | don't believe you ever did either jim.

of the hazardous nature of this Oc-

whether he will turn UP for supper
with a full complement of legs and

as an imsurable risk by anybody but
a tornado mutual, and sometimes he

PRODUCTION OF
TUNGSTEN ON
DECREASE
Small Demand for Tool
Steel Causes The
Falling Off

There was sharp falling off in
the production Of tungsten ores in
1911. owing 20 the decrease in the
market for tool stcels, in which the
bulk Of the tungsten is used. Accord.
ing TO preliminary figures collected
by Frank l.. Hess, Of the United
States Geological Survey, about 1926
short tone Of concentrates carrying
80 per cent tungsten trioxide were
produced and shipped during the year,
which Is less than two.thirds OF the
output for 1910, when 1921 tons were
marketed. The prices for the year
ranged from s4.50 TO $3.50 per unit,
depending on quantity, quality, and
individual bargaining. At the close
Of the year IS per unit was offered.
The unit is twenty pounds of tung
stem trioxide per short ton Of ore.
As usual the Boulder county Colo.
rado) field gave the largest returns,
740 tons, and the Atolia California;
deposits the second largest. Smaller
amounts were produced in Arizona,
Nevada, Idaho, and Washington.
The ore mined in Boulder county
is ferberite (iron tungstate), which
is not obtained in large quantity at
any other place in the world. In
spite of the poor market several new
were formed 10 mine ore
in the Boulder field and commenced
operations during the year. Two
companies brofitnbly worked over
tailings left from former operations.
A considerable quantity Of the ore
mined both in this and in other fields
was not marketed.
The Atolia field did not make so
large production M in 1910, but
carried on work through most Of the
year.
Near Nipton, Cal, work was done
by several persons on tungsten bear.
ing veins, but most Of the ore was
left at the mines to await higher
prices.
In Arizona number OF carloads
of ore were mined near Arivaca, more
than 20 miles south of Tucson, and
hauled 10 that place for shipment 20
Denver for milling
New mills for treating tungsten
ores were operated at Osceola, New,
and in the Blue Wing district on Pat,
terson Creek, Idaho, and now mill
was being built mt the close Of the
year at Round Mountain, New. Fin
ancial difficulties overlook the com,
pany operating at oseeola and the
concerns in Washington, so that little
was done at those places.
