For Good of

 shipment to China, the self-propeller Birmingham is headed upstream with cargo of merchandise for the cities of four states.
 While this interchange of northbound and southbound freight is being conduct ed by the river fleet, four important de- velopments are taking place on the(War- rior These are the coal bins at Cordova at the head of navigation, the coal bins at Mobile at the port, fuel oil tanks at Mobile for oil burning ships and additional der rick facilities at port of Birmingham {, The rails will be carried to China in the bottom of the Fairfield City, latest prod uct of the Chickasaw Shipbuilding and Car company Six more vessels of that type are yet to come from the Mobile ways and the steel is to be fabricated in Birmingham shops.
 The same barges that carry the rails to the gulf will bring back manganese ore from Brazil to enter into more steel made in Birmingham for the faraway places The same self-propellers that carry plates and billets to Mobile and New Orleans will bring back sugar coffee, rice, salt and other commodities for the merchants of four states
 A carrier that serves the people of four states at a saving of 20 cents on each dol lar of freight is assuredly worth while That saving amounts to S20,000 on each S1000OO and to S20O,00O on each S1,000,000. The higher the rail rate the greater the saving.
 More significant than the cargoes that are coming to Birmingham merchants on the up-coming self-propeller are those go- ing to merchants in other states, because their appreciation of the river is not based on any species of sentimentality, but on the 20 cents saved in each dollar of freight, the S20 on each $10O
 Atlanta is certainly not getting sugar by way of Port of Birmingham for senti- mental reasons. Atlanta is an essentially hOme-Spirit town. It is not coming over here to patronize an Alabama river and build up Birmingham interest 1t is talk ing freight by the Warrior because it is money in the pockets of Atlantians.
 For the same reason up-to-date mer- chants in Rome, Ga, are getting goods by the Warrior route. Amory and West Point, Miss, are patronizing the Warrior route because their merchants are ready and willing to save fifth of their freight bill. Chattanooga in Tennessee is using the river because merchants of Chatta- nooga are not losing mmistakable op- portunity of doing business at lowest cost.
 And it follows that if Chattanooga, Rome, Atlanta, West Point, Amory and the cities on the very edge of this favored freight differential territory appreciate the river and make use of it to their ad- vantage, there is soon going to be plea from cities without this territory to be en- braced in the privileges which they enjoy.
 Port of Birmingham bids fair to be the assembling point for freight to and from the gulf for territory first three and then four and five hundred miles distant. That s.what will happen if the Warrior is used by it's own people as it should be and is ap- preciated by it's own as others appreciate it's benefits.

Bessemer. March 21.-(Special,)- With the resumption of operation or the Central Foundry company's plant in the city today giving employment to 200 men, and with the rumored prospect of several other industries in the district beginning work at an early date, extreme optimism prevails in the Bessemer district, and business conditions are improving.
 criminal docket has been set in the Bessemer division of circuit court for this week, and large number of cases will be tried. The cases set for the week include that of Ed Leonard alias Ed Levine, charged with roboing Harris Bros. store in Bessemer in De- cember.
 Numbers of citizens have made com plaints against the running of auto mobiles through the city with the cut outs open. This, it is claimed, is very annoying to those people who, now that warm weather, has come, have moved to their sleeping porches and many complaints have been made at police headquarters against this viola ton of the traffic laws of the city. The law is to be rigidly enforced, ac- cording to the department.
