SMALLPOX RAGING IN THE
GREEN RIVER SECTION.
One Death and Several Serious Cases
of Smallpox and some Remarks
Thereon by w. E. Jones.

W: E. Jones while in town Saturday
from the Green River section mani
tested considerable interest in the
smallpox epidemic around his home.
He stated that Mrs. Clannie Babb
died last week from smallpox and that
others were seriously i'll from this
dread disease, which is raging in the
neighborheod. He states that since
there is no quarantine law those suf-
fering from the disease are very care
less and lounge around stores and
other public places to the peril of the
unaffected. He says that the recent leg
islature made a mistake when it re-
moved the quarantine law, for even
though the vaccine for each patient
costs only fifteen cents, the doctors as
a rule charge a dollar to vaccinate and
that it works a great hardship on a
poor man with a large family.
Mr.. Jones states that some of the
people in the Green River section are
being vaccinated while others are run
ming the risk of taking smallpox with
out vaccination.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR SETTLERS.
President Finley Of Southern Railway
Working for Farm Settlers.

President Finley Of Southern Railway
Working for Farm Settlers.
President Finley, of the Southern,
Railway comrany, speaking of the OPP
portunities for farm settlers in the
Southeastern States, said:
"Most of the immigration into the
United States having been through the
North Atlantic ports, and the general
movement of population having been
from the East to the West, it has re-
suited that the Southeast, with it's I'M
excelled advantages of soil and climate,
has been passed by in. a measure AMI
has a relatively less dense agricultur-
al population than other sections of the
country where natural advantages
have not been so favorable. AS a re-
suit of this much of the land is held
to large tracts and the supply of farm
labor has not been, sufficient to enable
the owners to cultivate their holdings
to the best advantage. The present
tendency toward intensive cultivation,
which is resulting in increased pro-
luction and a higher level of prosper
ity among the farmers of the South
east, is encouraging the division of
these large plantations into relatively
small. farms. 1t is .unuestionablu to
the advantage of the owner of n OF
these large places to sell part of it in
this way, retaining as much as he car
farm most efficiently with his valuable
labor. This is a movement that means
much for the Southeast. 1t will ben
eft those now living there and afford
opportunities for a vast number Of
farm settlers from other localities and
it will result in a constantly inereas-
ing volume of agricultural production
In the section"

No Improvement in the conditions
in the Southern iron market was felt
by reason Of the floods in Ohio and
elsewhere. II was believed for a while
that the troubles with the elements in
some Of the Middle West iron centers
would create an unlocked for BUSH

In addition to a buying movement,
southern pig iron interests are look

set before the Interstate Commerce
commission, seeking a reduction Of
freight rates on pig iron from the Bir-

Production" That is the slogan in
the Southern pig iron market Pro
duction and delivery" That is the
slogan in the Southern steel market.
Figures of the make for March in
the South in pig iron and steel offer a
splendid showing and there has not
been much Of an accumulation. The
sales are not numerous, but conf
dence prevails. or course there are
many who believe the tariff discussion
is having an effect on the market, but
at that, there is a need gathering that
viii require a big tonnage. Furnaces
in operation in the Alabama and Ten
nessee iron centers are producing iron
at liberal rate. The first quarter
business was but a little under the
make. so that the accumulation has
not been great.
A few sales have been made for iron
TO be delivered during the second
quarter Of the year. but far from be-
Ing the make at the present rate.
There is no intimation that the pro-
duction is to be disturbed for n while
yet, for the yards have been quite
clean and it viii be some time before
there is as much iron stacked up as

ton. 1t is announced that some big
sales have been made under that
price, but the general statement is
that $l3 per ton, No. foundry, is the
average. The furnace companies
have a profit at that price. and If
there is no further weakening and
sales can be accomplished until the
general conditions improve there will
Ice no complaint.
The activity in steel is bringing out
comment. Steel wire prices have ad .
yanced throughout the country and II
Is believed there will be some selling
soon at the new quotations. The steel
plants In the Birmingham and Gads-
den territories are doing well and
there is steady production. Ware
houses at both places are far from
being filled. Steel nails have been in
strong demand, though this is past
the nall season. There is a steady
