Shepherdess Loves
Gladiator of Rome

The epic quality which makes the
old Greek and Roman stories told by
Homer and Virgil still the most Won
derful romances In the world, is
strongly evident in a pastoral drama
of ancient Rome, entitled THE
Daughter of the Hills" which is pro-
duced by the Famous Players Film
Company, and will be seen in Atlanta
this week. The plot of the story is
an entirely original one, and 1t is the
atmosphere and background rather
than the tale which have been fur
nished by the classics. The story is
absolutely Arcadian in its beauty. The
Daughter of the Hills is a lovely
shepherdess who falls in love with a
powerful and brutal gladiator of the
Roman arena. How her sweetness
triumphs over his strength makes a
wonderful feature.

The nomination of Mr.. Shook for the
presidency is generally conceded to
have been a wise selection. Mr.. Shook
has had wide experience in business
life and is connected with many of
the larger firms of the city. Mr.. Shook
came to Birmingham in 1892 and en-
tered the office of the Tennessee Coal,
Iron and Railroad company. He was
at that time 20 wears of age. When the
officials of the Tennessee company first
considered the advisability of making
steel Mr. Shook took an active part
in the investigation and upon the or
ganization of the Alabama Steel and
Ship Building company for the purpose
of erecting a steel plant, he became its
secretary and treasurer.
Paschal Green Shook assisted his
father. COL A. NJ Shook, in the build
ing of the steel plant and upon Its
completion he became assistant gem
eraI superintendent, remaining In this
capacity until 1901. 1t was in 1901
that he formed a partnership with John
+. Fletcher in the coal, iron and ma
chjnery brokerage business and the
firm of Shook g. Fletcher is now one
of the largest of its kind in the south.

HEAVY STEEL ORDER
FOR GULF STATES CO.
Received on Day Fairfield
Wire Mill Was Opened.
BOwrOn Gratified

As an indication that there will be
business for all steel makers here de-
spite the entrance into this operation
of the American Steel and Wire com
pany plant 1t was stated yesterday
that on the day the Fairfield plant was
opened the highest record in orders
ever attained by the Gulf States Steel
company was booked. on the day the
press announced the turning of wheels
at Fairfield the Gulf States Steel sold
706 tons of finished steel products ac-
cording to President James Bowron.
This is the largest single days busi-
ness in the company's history or the
history of any of it's predecessors.
1t was stated yesterday by Mr.. Bow
ron that during the present month the
orders received are greater than last
year and that the plant was having
difficulty in filling hurry orders given
the company. On this account and by
reason of his confidence in the cur
rcncy bill Mr.. Bowron is well pleased
with the outlook.
This record of orders for one day
is expected to be the source of much
to the owners of the Amer
lean Steel and Wire company and may
find it's way into the record of testi-
mony in the Steel corporation hearing
that is being rapidly concluded The
fact that this record was attained and
