 craved Elf we sot still and never pestered

because of the sharp difference in transportation costs and other fac tors which have centered the larger part of the nations iron and steel in dustry in a comparatively restricted territory.
 Secretary O. L, Bum of the Bir- Imingham Traffic association says the rates on raw materials consumed in the manufacture of pig iron have ad- vanced more than 300 per cent in two years. General Order No. 2S, of the railroad administration, which went into effect in June of last year, in- creased the rates on southern pig iron .25 per cent.
 It costs more to make pig iron in the south than ever before and only about a third of the iron produced in the south is consumed in southerD territory. In order to show a profit and maintain their plants at full ca pacity, manufacturers are forced to compete with northern and eastern producers, with the advantage largely on the side of the competitors, due to a great extent to the ability of north ern and eastern manufacturers to market their product more cheaply. Freight rate advances in the north and east have been comparatively small
 Protests have been filed with the government and hearing will be given next Monday in Atlanta. There is TO disposition among the iron man1- lecturers of Birmingham to combat ar equitable increase, but it appears that they are being discriminated against. In all fairness, they should be afforded relief.

"AsKING FEM TO HAVE sOME.n


 "ASKING FEM TO HAVE sOME." From the New York Evening Sun. paragraph in the days news, in small space as of relative unimpor- tance, records the fact that month ago lady lost two black satin wrist lets, sewn with diamonds worth s10,- 900, and that the police have tried vainly to find any trace of the jewels. The circumstance is stated that the lady was a guest at a theatre party, returned to her home and did not mo- tice her loss until the next morning.
 day or two ago another para graph told the story of a policeman who rescued purse which had fallen from a woman's wrist. The police man utter this bit of philosophy: T believe, if woman had one hand cut off at the wrist and only finger and thumb on the other hand she'd carry her purse between 'em With crowd full O crooks, 1 call it asking 'em to have some.''
 The habit of many women to wear valuable jewels within reach of un- classified hands is in some sense reflection of their fancy for wearing indoor evening frocl1s into all sorts of public places in the daytime. The habit of many men to carry large sums of money on the person sometimes re- suits in loss; but the men seldom carry their money so lightly as to forget it's existence.

Later when he became an officer in the Confederate army, he showed to as great advantage in a sol dier's uniform as he had done in the dress of a civilian.
 But if Mir. Brekinridge had the ad- vantage in the matter of pulchritude, MT. Lincoln topped him, as he did every other American of his genera tion, in the matter of expression. He was almost as effective on the stump as Henry Clay. He drew great crowds to hear him and in every campaign was in request at ifome and elsewhere.
