the papers they will prepare as re- suit of their survey will have far reaching influence on future industrial development. Their schedule puts them in Birmingham May and what they see here will doubtless be revelation to them.
 Next to coal, iron and steel the graphite industry in Alabama is attracting most attention. This is the leading graphite state and Ashland, in Clay county, is the graphite center. There is no inflated trading, but everyone who visits Ash land or Lineyille will soon realize that graphite is the one thing of absorbing interest A recent bulletin issued by the United States geological survey states that Alabama mines contribute about half the total domestic output.
 The large number of new compan- ies beginning operations at the pres- ent time naturally makes it of inn portance to consider the probable ef- feet of the future increased produc- ton upon the market" says the Full letin. If all the mills in the Alamaba field are able to operate at anything like their expected capacity, the result will be an annual production of flake graphite of approximately 30,000,to0 pounds, about 15 times the produce tion of Alabama in 1913 and nearly equal to the entire importation from Ceylon for that year As long as the war continues largely increased pro- auction can probably be absorbed by crucible makers and other users of crystalline graphite, but if the graph

New Cotton Mill to
 Be Built at Macon

Macon. Ga, is to have another cotton mill, which is to be established by a company which B. T. Adams, presi- dent of Adams Eros, wholesale gro- cers; Jennings Adams and F. B. Mur- ray will be the principal stockholders says the Industrial Index. Applica- tion for incorporation of the com pany, with capital stock of several hundred thousand dollars will be made.
 The mill will have a capacity of 5000 spindles and will employ between i50 and 200 operatives. This will give Macon a handsome additional pay rol. The plant will be operated by steam. It will manufacture cotton duck, and will probably have government orders to fill as soon as ready for operation
 MT. Adams declared that nearly all the contracts for material had been closed, but that the contractors for the work had not yet been selected. It is proposed to have the mill ready for operation by December I.
 The main building will be 4S3 feet long and 160 feet wide. There will be large warehouses. All these structures will be modern and substantial Bricl, will be used in the walls. Several frame houses will he constructed foI the employees and their families.
 Orders have been placed for the ma chnery and it will arrive next fal for installation as soon as the building is ready.
 Mir Adams states he is convinced the cotton mill business will be a pay. ing proposition.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-04-29

Industrial activity continues throughout the south. While construction work, oth CT than that demanded and pushed by the government for the winning of the war, is held back, and will be as long as the war lasts, many plants deemed essential in time of peace are spring up canneries, grain elevators, cotton mills and so on. If most of the new indus tries are small they contribute largely to southern prosperity
 The corporations in the Birmingham district are being operated on a large scale; some of them at full capacity Coal production is at rate greater than this time last year, but there is complaint in some quarters that the high wage scale tends to decrease the work ing time of individuals, thereby reduc- ing output.
 At certain of the mines the men real ize that it is their patriotic duty to put in full time, but at others the situation is said to be different. Every workman should be on his mettle, for all produc- tion now has a war side to it, and every workman should be spurred to do his best
