FIRST YEAR OF THE

At the end OF the first year
OF war not a German fighting

Baptist church at Baker and remained
n faithful member until God claimed
him as His own.
On November 23rd, 1871, he was
married to Miss Sarah Josephine Ash

SHEFFIELD COMMERCIAL
CLUB LIVE ORGANIZATION

The Commercial club of Sheffield, of
which G. E. Rhoulac is president, is a
live wire organization with an eye sin
gle to the welfare of the city which they
SO enthusiastically boost. They recently
gave a very practical demonstration of
the fact that they are alive when they
went out and raised $4,000 for the Muscle
Shoals campaign, which is being con-
Quoted in Washington at present.
These practical business men realize
very keenly the tremendous meaning of
the power development to them and to
their city. At present Sheffield lies at
the head of navigation on the Tennessee
river and as consequence of this enjoys
a splendid freight rate, one which en-
ables her to sell her manufactured product
anywhere in competition with anybody.
Sheffield is the home of the Southern
railroad shops, which give employment to
some 45G men and make a monthly pay
roll of $4,000
The Sloss-Sheffied Steel and Iron COM
pany operates the Hattie furnace, which
is another of Sheffield's industries, and
this big iron maker has broken the
worlds record for length of run without
shutdown and is at present setting a
new mark in low cost of pig iron. The
Sloss company is at present shipping pig
iron by barge from their furnace in Shelf
field to points in Ohio and saving 81 per
ton in freight, enabling them to sell pig
iron in Ohio in competition with Pitts
burg.
In addition to these are the three fur

ant power can be secured and a plant
erected, which on account of it's geograph-
zeal location would be immune from at
tack in the event of foreign war and in
yasion. In an article which appeared in
the January edition of the Munsey Maya
zine entitled. THE Truth About Our
Water Ways" Senator Burton, an ac-
knowledged authority on the subject, says
that the United States government has
made a total expenditure of over $4500,000
fer the construction and maintenance of
the Muscle Shoals canal. He calls atten-
ton to the fact that there has been a
steady decrease of traffic on the Tennes-
see river and states that the government
could afford to buy all freight transported
and burn it at the waters edge rather
than to have incurred so large cost per
ton for the freight carried. Senator Bur-
ton seems to overlook the fact that the
present canal at the Muscle Shoals is
wholly inadequate. At the time it was
constructed the navigation of the Tennes.

canal is about completed it is found that
the Muscle Shoals canal is too narrow,
too shallow, and wholly insufficient for the
traffic which comes to the Tennessee If
there has been a steady decrease in traf-
fic through the Muscle Shoals canal it
has not been due to the fact that traffic
has not increased. but rather to the mis-

UNWISE DISCRIMINATION

nation the Tennessee river would today
be navigable from its source to its mouth,
with minimum depth of nine feet and

But aside from the national impor-
lance of the development of the enor-
nous hydro-electric power at Muscle
Shoals. as the necessary part of any plan
of adequate national defense it mcst not
be forgotten that navigable rivers. in the
event of war, are of vast military and
strategic value.
1t is the solemn duty of the government,
in view of the vast area drained by the
Tennessee and the great commerce which
would follow the Improvement, to give
to the Tennessee river its rightful position
as the foremost of the tributaries of the
Mississippi.
Bancroft in his history of the United
States described the valley of the Ten
nessee as the most picturesque and salu-
brious region ca st of the Mississippi.
Commodore Maury pronounced it the
garden spot of the world.

naces of the Sheffield Coal and Iron com
pany, the Sheffield Rolling Mill and the
Sheffield Pipe Works
The Sheffield oil mill and the Sheffield
compress add to the industrial pay rolls
and when taken into consideration bring
the monthly pay roll of the city well past
the $4,000 mark.
Sheffield is splendidly located, has
every municipal improvement ana offers
every inducement to the manufacturer for
the location of new plants that any COM
munity anywhere can offer. Free sites
for industries are given, provided the
concern locating the industry can show
the proper credentials and every cooper
alton will be accorded reliable parties
who are interested in locating in this
section
The city has excellent hotel facilities
and the best street car system in north
Alabama. Weekly and daily papers are
published here and both are under live
and progressive management. In fact,
Sheffield has all the materials for the
making of a great city. The people
needed for the big city will be here just
as soon as the Muscle Shoals power pro-
ject is approved by Congress. The wise
people who want to make Sheffield their
home should take care to get here ahead
of the tidal wave which will follow the
power development
The time to come to Sheffield is today.

the total sums expended for the Tennes-

Such a crisis has been reached in
diplomatic circles at Washington as a
resultant of the attitude of Great
Britain and Germany towards all neu-
tral shipping that the United States
is facing the most dreadful moment"
of it's history. asserted Frank Herring
Thursday noon at the luncheon of the
Chamber Of Commerce at Inc Oliver
hotel. Since the odds at stake are
of the utmost Importance TO United
states business. Herring pleaded that
the local business men consider the
crisis thoughtfully.
I'VE haven't time to sympathize
with either allies or Germany" he de-
cIared. The time has come when
an our sympathies are needed right
at home. There must be no German
American sentiment, there must be no
British American sentiment, there
must be sentiment for America alone.
For the time has come when Pres t
Wilson must either declare a sweep
ing embargo on all American mer-
chant men, or enforce his demands
on Germany and England at the point
OF the cannon mouth"
Herring said he did not want 10 pose
as an anarchist. but from his Observa-
tions at Washington last week deep
pail hangs over that city. Such a
change has come over the diplomatic
atmosphere. he said, that the visitor
can hardly fail to notice it.
1T is because every one of the
nations now embroiled has abrogated
nearly all rules Of international law
