The countrymen are not frightened out of their wits and one thing which is of the greatest value. l believe, is they are not talking con stantly about the rough sailing. An niston is trotting along in fine shape. We see the sun all the time and arc |. slow to become frightened. The situa- ton here in Birmingham strikes me as being rather attractive. I look for a fine season when we close up the year and I believe things will get even better as the months pass"

 Property

Col. W. B. Leedy. for 27 years one
 Of the leading real estate dealers in
 the city. has again shown his belief in the greatness of Birmingham by the
 purchase of the building in which his
 office has been located all those years,
 on the alley corner of Twenty first
 street between First and Second ave-
 nues
 Colonel Leedy paid s25,00o cash for
 tho property. It is 20x100 feet and was
 purchased from E. I. Turner of Annis-
 ton. In an interview Mir. Leedy stated
 he had seen the same property sold
 fer s6o00. When asked about the pur-
 chase Colonel Leedys said: "Yes, it Is
 true that I have purchased this prop
 erty l thought while real estate was
 quiet that now was an opportune time
 to buy. This is not, however. the first
 good time to buy I have experienced in
 my 27 years residence in Birmingham,
 but at such recurring times as rule

 My faith in Birmingham real estate Is strong or 1 would be considered 2 poor financier when I say that I am putting money easily worth per cent in 6 per cent property. I have always had a desire to own n place to flo business. It is as comforting feeling to know that every nail driven in the way of Improvements belongs to me and, above all. one need not worry when the lease is about to expire. 'T first started in business in Jan uary, 1887, on the ground floor with in 20 feet of this building. The panic of 1898 drove me to the second floor for cheaper rent. Later as business im- proved 1 moved my office to it's pres ent location for more light and space. As an indication of the advance in real estate values in this city l have seen this property sell for $6000, ss0oe, $13,50o, $1S,500 and now l am taking

STEEL PLANT MAY PUT ON SOME SPEED
 BEFORE HOLIDAYS
Extra Operations Would Help Carry Employees Through Holiday Sea-
 son Successfully

The indications are that the idle de- rartments at Ensley steel works will resume operation about the end of this
 week and operate at a high rate for the remainder of this month and dur. ing the first 20 days in December.
 While no official authority is givea for this theory it Is generally whis- pered about Ensley that officials of th,s Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany, after careful consideration had arrived at the conclusion that a max mum of work preceding the Christ rlas holidays would not be unappre- ciated by tho vast army of employees.
 In this way the employees will be given an opportunity of getting through the Christmas holidays under the same conditions as in more attractive sea
 sons. The company has bookings for some rails to he rolled during this month and some for the month of De
 cember By holding these back few days the operations will be carried into the holiday season.
 Aside from the rail mill there is no indication of flat operations at Ems ley. All of the blast furnaces arc in operation excepting one. which is un dtrgoing imperative repairs At the blooming mill in the open hearth de- partment. and in other departments, | excepting the rail plant. the operations
 have been steady during the past month.
 The only official statement which | was made at the executive offices Of l the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad | company yesterday was: There will bc no change in the operations during | the next week as compared to tho op 1 erations during the week just closed. ,

GOING ID CAPITAL
 ID OPPOSE RATES Local Shippers Against Ad. vances Asked by Certain
 Railroads of State

In an enthusiastic meeting in the directors room of the Chamber of Con- merce yesterday morning about 50 prominent local shippers signified their intentions of going to Montgomery Monday morning to present their plea before the state railroad commission against granting the rate increases de- sired by the railroads.
 Following the meeting R. A. Porter chairman of the railroad committee of the Chamber of Commerce, and who presided at the meeting yesterday morning. issued the following state ment on the attitude of the local ship pers to the proposed rate increase:
 Tt has been understood in Birming- ham during the past week. that the
 various railroad companies were ap- plying to the commission for authori- ty to increase certain rates, but until the meeting Saturday morning the ship pers generally did not understand just what advances were proposed. The rail- road companies closed their testimony
 last Tuesday and Saturday morning the
 meeting had copies of large part of the railroads testimony and exhibits From these it appears that the in- crease, which the commission is asked to approve for all of the railroad com panies, Is raise of 25 per cent on what is known as the nonpercentage com modties in the one hundred and ten commodity list.
 "In addition to the proposed increase of 20 per cent on the part of all the railroads, the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company and some of the similar lines, are asking authority te increase all of It's classification rates which will, in effect. raise the rates or practically all articles of commerce .. They are also asking authority to can eel certain Birmingham local scales which, should the commission grant the railroads included in the local scale out of Birmingham. will be raised to the regular classification rates"
