THE HUM OF INDUSTRY IN THE SOUTH
Bristol's Expansion Typical Of
 Southern Methods Employed

Other industries here are of varie1 character. The Schieren's, of Brooklyn and New York, have an old established and extensive tannery and dye extract plant. Availability of timber materials has likewise made possible the establish ment of all important wood pulp plant, in operation for many years. A pape~ box factory is one of the possibilities of tine near future.
 As throughout the mountain regions ot the south, the best of American labor IS available here-the supply keeping pace with the demand by which men and families are drawn from their mountain homes as the requirements become known.
 Bristol estimates it's present popula- tion at 20,00O, an increase of 5000 from the census figures of 1910. Municipal and public improvements now under way to meet increased needs, include extension of water system, sewerage system, street paving. railroad terminals. etc, aggregas- ing in estimated. cost about S1000,0 900.
 A problem which confronts the Cham Der of Commerce just now is how to A scarcity is reported by Secretary Ro- berts. This important question has been worked out elsewhere by united efforS on the part of property owners and or ganization officials, as it has been found that cities with readily available sites for new industries have an initial advan- tage over other cities that is not readily overcOme

Sheep Raising

MlAsissippi's most successful sheep raising season since the Civil War, when the state was heavy producer of wool and mutton, is drawing to a close. and prospects for the next year are much better than those of the present one Says the Jackson correspondent of the Manufacturers Record.
 South Mississippi counties were the heaviest wool shippers this season. Pearl River county shipped 60,o00 pounds, or three carloads. valued at S0,0e0.' liar r.son county shipped 2o,000 pounds Many other smaller shipments went forward and excellent prices were received
 Eight pure-bred Shropshire rams have been brought into Pike county, the sons of Bristol Royal, a famous imported English sire, and said to be the finest rams ever brought into the state. h. dividual farmers bought them. Thirty per cent of the flocks in this county are headed by pure-bred rams.
 Yazoo county, where the Lamb club originated, is buying 300 ewes and rams for various farmers in the county, and the Lamb club boys and girls will con true their good work.
 Very little trouble has been reported lately from stray CUTS, chiefly because public sentiment is turning against them as the sheep industry grows.
 It is considered probable that the Jan uary session of the legislature will pass a stringent dog law, and give the indus try another impetus.

mon battery telephone service for this city. those present witnessed the ring ing out of the old and ringing in of the new an event that was looked upon as but another exhibition of enterprise and innovation appertaining to the vast enlargement and future growth of this north Alabama city.
 The new exchange building that the telephone co. has erected here represents an investment of s50.0O0. exclusive of equipment It is a handsome two-story building, located practically in the down town business part of the city, and it is a distinct addition to the public business buildings of this city, It will house the of fices and operating departments of the company not only for Sheffield, but the city of Tuscumbia as well. The very lat est and most modern improved exchange equipment has been installed in the build ing It's ultimate switchboard capacity is 5000 lines, or 4,500 telephones. In the op- erating room there are l3 positions for local operators, and F for long distance. For months past the local service has been congested and inadequate, but the new and enlarged service will afford inn mediate relief
 Besides the new exchange building, the telephone company during recent months has established an entirely new 
 in money approximates close to $500 0o0. New cables and underground wires have been laid These lines necessarily extend ed over much territory, in order that adequate service might be given. It is through the Sheffield exchange that tele- phone service is furnished United Nj trate plant No. l, in West Sheffield, and United Nitrate plant No. ?. in East Shef- field The city of Tuscumbia also secures local service through this exchange, but a business office of the company will be maintained in that city.

LUMBER PRICES

The Thomasville. Ga. correspondent os The Industrial Index, says:
 '~rhe sawmills in this section of South Georgia seem to be hard at work again and unless the rains continue too long and they are obliged to shut down. as was the case in the early spring owing to the difficulty of getting the logs out of the woods, they will make money.
 "The price of lumber has jumped with in the past few days from s to SIS per thousand and the lumber business is big thing now. The lumber firms here report handling some export business and fine domestic demand. With the country So far behind in the building line lumber men here feel that with the necessary labor to aid in supplying the demand at the mills the coming season will be a roc ord one.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-07-28

A special to the Manufacturers Record says:
 The jobbing business of Dallas, Tex. aggregates more than s4i5.OOo,o 900 annual ly, according to extensive survey recent ly completed. These figures do not in. clude any retail business houses, but cover only the Dallas distributing busi- ness, and are based on the business done the past 12 months. A feature of the any line is practically unknown. A shel- etonized tabulation of the extensive dis tribbting business done follows:
 Building materials: Dallas distributes annually approximately sS7.o0O0OO worth of building material Of this paint, glass and varnsh, wall paper, etc. are place at s10oO0.000: plumbing. s2O0O.O00s struc tural steel s2,e000o0; elevators, s250.OOo brick. s1.500000; interlocking and other tile. s3oo,e0o; roofing material aside from those distributed by lumber yards. S50. coo; output of blaming mills. s5co0oO. ana lumber yards handling general building material s50,ooO,000.
 Farm implements and machinery: Es. timated at S}0000.o00 making Dallas rank second in the United States, second to Kansas City. In tractors, however. Dal- las leads the nation. Tractor business ia expected to reach si,000,0o0 this year X heavy distribution of binders to take care of the exceptionally heavy grain crops is a feature of this years bust, ress. A total of 5O0,0oo wagons are sold annually.
 In machinery: With two big plants here Texas leads the world in the man. rfacture Of gin machinery. The gin and rliIl supplies distributed annually hero are placed at s4,5o00J0. Since Texas pro. duces one-fifth of the worlds cotton rluch cf the output remains in the state,
