MORE THAN DOUBLE IN PAST
u YEARS-LOCAL DEVELOP
MENTS RESPONSIBLE

Statistics on the resources and In
dustries of Alabama for a period Of
s2 years, up to and including 1872,
show some very interesting figures
which are especially pertinent in view
of the fact that Birmin gham's growth
and development has occurred during
these years.
In 1880 Birmingham was a struggling
"boom town. 1t went through the
vicissitudes of two "panics" during the
next three decades and it was only in
the past II years that 1t gained its
real substantial growth. In these Il
years Alabamas $ assets have more than
doubled, and it is only reasonable to
believe that Birmingham's prosperity
during this period was greatly respon-
sible for the conditions
For instance, the value of the pro-
ducts of the different factories in Ala
baIna was only little more than s13,-
100000 in 1880 In the next 20 years,
the period in which Birmingham had
such struggle to become city, they
increased to a little more than $780,
100000 and from 1900 to 1912 the in
crease amounted to an even 100000
900. This is one of the most phe-
nomenal records in the history of the
country

years has indeed been mecca for the

manner above repsoach and It's proprie-
tor. J. q, Housman, numbers hundreds of
personal friends throughout Birmingham
and the entire district.
Mr.. Housman established 1.-THE Mecca"
10 years before prohibition wave swept
over Alabama a few years ago. and when
Birmingham became diBgusted with tho

tised curing the so-oaiied Temperance
period. and voted for the regulated and
licensed saloon, Mr.. Housman at oncs r..
opened his place.
During the Is years which he has
operated, Mr. Housman's place has been
recognised as one of the most ssnteei
places in the south, and he has always en-
joyed the patronage of the better element
of oitisens, His place has been iandr
mark for many years, and it promises to
continue the enjoyment Of this high class
trade.
When Mr.. Housman first opened "Ths
Mecca" Birmingham was a wide open
town. Gambling was praotised here sx-
tensively, and 1t was said that most OF
the gamblers operated In connection with
saloons Mr.. Housman sought to operate
his place on a different scale, and al

bonio acid gas and alcohol the gas es-
Gaping, while the alcohol remains in the
mixture which has become beer.
Ferment for " Hours
The fermentation period is 70 hours for
sweet mash and SO for sour. Then comes
the distillation, which is merely the me-
chanical process of extracting the alco-
hol from the beer. No further chemical
action takes place. After being subjected
to boiling temperature all the alcohol and
a part of the water become vaporized
and are condensed by cold water cooling,
becoming '.singlings'' when they are col
lected. These are redistilled until they
reach the proper alcoholic state.
Proof" is the term used to Indicate
the strength of the whisky, 100 proof
meaning that it is so per cent alcohol.
The second distillation produces whisky
about 10 proof and further process
runs it up as high as 125. After it has
reached this stage it is piped into the
cistern room and under government su-
pervison is reduced to 101 proof. After

government keeps watchful eye on all
distillery operations and each distiller
Is required to produce each month so per
cent of the amount he has anticipated.
He must pay s1.10 tax on every gallon
that ordinarily should be the output from
the grain he uses, and the amount of
grain is the basis of taxation, regardless
of the whisky produced. A distillery is
not required to be run to its fullest ca
pacity, but according to capacity declared
before the season begins. The term
bushel does not mean measure, but
weight. and the amount of moisture in
the grain determines its value to a large
extent.
The color of whisky is due in great
measure to the charring of the interior of
the barrels in which it is kept to give the
proper flavor

GROWTH OF BIRMINGHAM
SETS THE PACE FOR STATE

creased at almost as large a rate, and
much of the credit for this is due to
the negroes of the state Many farms
throughout Alabama are owned or
rented by negroes, and they have been
exceedingly successful in handling
them. In 1880 the total value of the
farm products was but little more
than s56,500,000 and 20 years later
they had increased to more than S91,-
100000 In the following 12 years the
increase was so rapid that in 1912 the
total value was estimated at more than
s1S4,000oo, or slightly more than the
products of the factories for the same
year.
In mining products Alabama had a
valuation of only about three quarters
of million dollars in 1880. This had
increased to $13,000,00 In 20 years. and
to 100000 in 1912. The percentage
of increase in mining products is great
er than any other item and 1t may rea
sonably be expected to increase much
more in the next few years as the coal
reserve for the state is estimated az
Gs, ,572.0 900 tons.
Lumber Also Increases
Alabamas forestry products were
estimated at slightly less than $4,5Oo.-
0oo in 1880. BY 1890 their yearly val
uation was more than $21,500,0O and u
years later, in 1912, it was estimated
at S40,S60,000. During 1912 more than
1,465, 5,623,000 feet of lumber were cut
in the 1858 mills of the state.
In the 50 years the total products of
factories farms, forests and mines had
increased from $76.634,000 in 1880 to
$207,276,000 in 1900 and to $451, ,066, 900
in 1912. 1t will be noted that the in
| crease for the past 12 years-was much
greater than in the previous 20 years.
Even greater increases are anticipated
in every lire during the next decade.

whisky from rye. and old bourbon
from a blending of several varieties.
Corn whisky is the most popular of all
the kinds sold in this section, and the
process of distiilation is highly interest
Kentucky is corn juice" although there
are several notable exceptions. However.
more corn is distilled than all other
brands put together.
Corn contains high percentage of
starch and starch is the material to be
acted upon in the making of cereals into
whisky. But starch itself will not fer
ment until its cells are broken up and
therefore the ground grain is subjected
to high temperature in wafer and be-
comes gelataniZed.
Details of Process
The next process Is the addition of the
malt, which may be made from any
cereal, though barley is most generally
used.
In beer making undried sprouted bar
ley is used. but in whisky making it is
thoroughly dried.
After the starch has been gelatinized
the malt Is addedi steam Is applied and
the result is that starch first becomes
soluble and then turns into sugar.
After the mixture mash has cooled
off it becomes subject to the addition of
the yeast to produce and hasten fermen-
tation the cells of the yeast accumulat-
ing under favorable conditions of air
and nitrogen
The preparation of specially pure yeast
is one of the Improvements over the older
distilling methods. But there is another
way of obtaining yeast and that is to
take part of the mash that has been fer
mented one day and add it to the mash
on the next day. This method is called
yeas sting back and the mash used is
called BARN, and is skinned off the top
of the leftover tub

this it is barreled and put into ware
houses that are under government super
vision.
The proof of whisky properly coopered
and housed increases about two points a
year. so that whisky four years old should
be about 10S or 109 proof At this age
1t may be bottled in bond and withdrawn
under government supervision.
Before being bottled it is reduced again
to 100 proof The government stamp
guarantees the proof and age.
When whisky has been in the ware
house eight years it is forced out of bond
and the government collects it's tax of
$1.1O per gallon.
There is a practical limitation on the
time whisky can remain in the original
barrel, as after IA or 10 years it acquires
a distinctly woody taste.
Production of One Bushel
The present methods of manufacturing
whisky result in production of from
four to five gallons for each bushel of

cally standardized, but there still remain

A great deal depends on the mixing
