These forces We're fairly well represents

toward Il permanent organization were
taken prior to that meeting. it was left
to the officers chosen there to perfect

qualification to those interested in the
agricultural resources of the state to know
that these resources last year were nearly
three times the value of all other re-
sources of the state combined, as the
figures will show. The value of the ag-
ricultural products of Alabama last year
were approximately $150, ,00o, ,000 while those
OF coal, IRON ore, iron, steel and other
products were approximately So, 100000,
and yet 1t is known that the farming in
terests of Alabama are only in their in
fancy and that the state has not much
more than touched its normal production
under advanced systems of cultivation
and diversification of crops.
With these facts clearly understood and
stripped of all glowing verbiage may we
not ask in what other field of human en-
deavor is there such promise for the peo-
pie of Alabama? Is this not enough to
awaken every public-spirited citizen OF
the state to make an effort commensurate
with the amount to be gained to bring II

most expert riveters in the United
States are employed and that patents
have been obtained upon new systems

but actually enhance the power The
president of the company didn't send
man down here right away. but he
sent his chief engineer to a big plant
in the far west where he knew that
one of the sort of boilers he wanted
was in operation, made by the Birming-
ham firm.
"Well, the engineer found out that
that boiler had been beating its guar
antee every day of the five years it
had been in operation and that there
was not so much as hanging rivet to
show for all the work it had under

"The engineer went to two other fac
tories and looked over other Birming-
ham boilers that were in use there.
Then he went to the president of the
company and reported and the presi-
dent sent me to Birmingham to make

New Road to Warrior
In connection with the railroad devel-

ham, 1t is recalled that the Tidewater
railroad is building an inter-urban cleo
trio line from Birmingham to Tuscaloosa
there connecting with a barge line on the
Warrior river. When that line is built
and placed into operation it is asserted
by Fred Norris, who is behind the .pro-
ject, that Birmingham will be effectively
unbottled and will enjoy the Waterfall
transportation that will cause the district
to blossom like the rose. That this line

BOILER MAKING
A BIG INDUSTRY

Throughout Entire
United States

Birmingham stands far up, in the
list of the cities of the country that
manufacture those creators of power
the boiler. Indeed, so far has the in
dustry been developed that the product
of the local boiler shops may be seen
in the factories of almost every town
in the United States, While the loco
motive boilers made in Birmingham
constitute travelling advertisements. &c
the wide reputation for efficiency this
business in this city has won.
And out of the boiler making in
dustry has grown another great in
dustry--the making of smokestacks. The
day of the brick chimney has passed
so far as it's use on factories and 9TH
er large buildings is concerned. 1t has
been replaced by the iron cast smoke
stack which the Birmingham boiler
factories turn out in sections and which
may be built up tube by tube at the
top of structure until they reach
any desired height.

"a Billion Dollars Added to the Landed
Wealth of Alabama" This is the motto
of the Alabama Land Congress. and it
does not express deeper significance
than the possibilities open before Ala
bama actually contain.
This motto had It's origin in the follow
ing facts given to the newspapers a little
over a year ago, and used to awaken in
terest in a movement that sought to ad'
vance the agricultural resources of Ala
bama Here is the statement:
"Alabama has 20000.000 acres Of land
available for farming purposes, in which
there is difference of $50 per acre be
tween them and similar lands north Of
the Ohio river in average price and yet
those Alabama lands will produce the
most in money crops, with less of labor
and expense of cultivation. If the owners
of these lands will go to work and dem
onstrate the productiveness OF the same
throughout the state this difference in
price will disappear within 10 years, thus
adding to the landed wealth of Alabama
81 900, 600, 900. =.
This statement was submitted TO
thoughtful and conservative business
men and land owners. and without eNcep
ton it was proclaimed not only reason
able but entirely feasible, through well
directed efforts and organized plans to
sustain it.
This was then used as an incentive to
bring together those most interested in
such a result, and in a meeting held at
Mobile in November, 1872, the Alabama
Land Congress was formally launched.
This legend was adopted as the motto
of the organization.
No Land Speculation
But there was no land speculative
movement behind it, for it was clearly
announced from one end of the state to
the other that such a result was based
on improvement and development. IL
there was only system and persstency in
that development the above result was
entirely within the bounds of possibility,
and it was thought with such showing
there would be no difficulty in maintain
ing an organization to give it life and
effectiveness. The forces deemed neces-
sary for such an organization were these:

Sympathy Unappreciated.

just as a giggling school girl entered
drug shop and made her way to the
soda fountain the white coated attend
ant was engaged in vigorously shaking
up a Chocolate and egg" Suddenly
the glass broke in his hands and the
deluge caused the young man to present
the appearance of a human eclair.
Mortified, the girl at once ceased to
giggle, and, with a most sympathetic
air, leaned toward the white-coated
one, saying, for the want of something
else:
81 am so sorry. Did the glass break?''
The attendant gave her a whitening
look, did the glass break" he re-
peated. oh, no; the glass didn't
