REGISTRAR MORRIS
 ID SPEND REST OF
 MONTH IN THE CITY
Civic Association to Aid in Getting as Many Citi- zens to Register
 as Possible
Statement November 2o. 1917

M. E. Morris. registrar of Jefferson county, has finished his work in the country precincts and the rest of the time from now until January will be given to the city. Fairfield and Powderly. His schedule is as follows:
 Ensley city hall. Monday, December F, to 6; Ensley City hall, Tuesday. De- cember IS, 8 to 6; Avondale city hall, Wednesday, Decemb CT 19. 8 to 6; East Bir- mingham fire station, Thursday, Decem- ber 20 to 6; Pratt City hall, Friday, December 21, to 6; North Birmingham city hall. Saturday, December P. to 6; East Lake city hall, Tuesday, December 24. 8 to 6; Woodlawn city hall, Tuesday, December 25. to 6; Fairfield, Wednes- day, December 2s, 8 to &; West End fire station. Thursday. December 2, 8 to 6: Powderly, Friday, December B, to 6; Bir- mingham city hall. Saturday, December g. to 6; Birmingham city hall, Mon day, December H, to G.
 It is very important that every quail fled citizen register. as this will be the last chance to do so for two years, and every citizen failing to register is disfranchised. MT. Morris states that the people of the county where he has been met him at the appointed time and reg istered in large numbers. It is to be hoped that the people in the city who have not heretofore registered will not fail to qualify themselves to vote on all questions that may come before the people the next two years, and next year Is an important election year.
 The Birmingham Civic association, real izing the importance of 8 large elec- torate and that the best government can be had by all citizens participating in the same, Is lending its aid to the reg istrar, and has appointed committee consisting of Judge Alvin M. Douglas, T. H. Motion and Henry Martin, to CO operate with him in getting as many men as possible to register.

from @ family of iron manufacturers, his father having been engaged in the business in West Virginia. where the son still retained extensive interests. With his brother, w. H. Woodward, builder of the Woodward and Browns Marx buildings in Birmingham, Joseph H. Woodward came to the Birmingham district about 36 years ago and began the development of the properties of the Woodward Iron company, of which. in the beginning, W. H. Woodward was president and Joseph H. Woodward. secretary.
 The elder brother later retired and Joseph H. Woodward became president and built the property up to the posi- iton of importance which it occupies in the southern industrial field today. The deceased kept in the most inti- mate touch with the companys affairs until very recently, when he began to turn over this work to his son, A. IT. (Rick) Woodward.
 The Woodward brothers were the first to come into the Alabama iron field with plans for development on an extensive scale. The result was that they bought what has since been re- garded as the greatest single piece of iron making property in the world It contains high-grade iron ore coal and limestone all connected by the company's own railroad which makes the problem of assembling raw ma terials for the manufacture of iron the simplest and most economical to be found anywhere.
 MT Woodward was member of St. Mary's on the Highlands Episcopal church and in his younger years took keen interest in church and civic af- fairs.
