SULPHUR BY WATER ID ACID MAKERS
 OF BIRM| INC HAM
Steel Cities Chemical ReaIiz- ing on Its Investment in River TerminaIS-PIant
 on Full Turn

Two thousand tons of sulphur from the Texas sulphur field will leave Galveston this week for Mobile th ocean ong barges destined to the acid piant of the Steel Cites Chem lcal company at Fairfield and othsr acId makers of the district.
 Arriving at Mobile the sulphur will come up the Warrior river in barges to Birmingport and will be trans ferred thence to plant by the Ensley southern railroad.
 This is the initial cargo in what is intended to be permanent and steady movement from Galveston to Birmingham via Mobile and the War. rior. Including the Grasell company and other nearby consumers of su,- phur, the yearly movement will be more than 50,000 tons.
 The sulphur comes as return cargo of barges loaded with Alabama coal lowed to Galveston by ocean going vessels out of Mobile. The first ship ment of coal has been made and the second is being prepared. The coal comes from Walker county mines and is shipped down the river.
 The rate on the sulphur from Mo bile 10 Birmingham via the Warrior river Is 20 per cent under the all rail rate.
 We are getting our sulphur sup ply by the river at substantial saving of freight said R. A. Brown, president of the Steel Cities Chem teal company. "The shipment via river is feasible. practical and eco homie. We believe the Initial ship ment Is forerunner of a steady move ment of this raw material to us and other plants from now on.
 Faith fin River
 Our company invested $5,000 in the Port of Birmingham corporation, which financed and built the terml- nals at Birmingport. We have all ways regarded this contribution as an asset and we so carry it on our books today We have not charged off that S5.000 to profit and loss or scaled 1t down as an asset. It stands among our resources at $5,000.
 I've felt confidence in the Warrior as a factor in the general welfare and helped build the terminals with out any forecast of how we would benefit in particular We are how ever glad to begin to realize on that | investment"
 On Full Turn
 The Steel Cities Chemical company is manufacturer of sulphuric acid It's large plant at Fairfield is one of those that operated on full turn all last year and shipped it's make. The plant Is also among those that re- sumed promptly following a few days at Christmas and is on full turn again with every prospect of repeat 1 ing last years performance.

two of the boys sitting there on the floor trying to persuade three young boys about 12 years of age to leave town with them. They were paint ing beautiful pictures of their expe- riences in travelling about the world .
 "I turned to the small boys and asked them if they lived here. and one said he lived in Pratt City and the other two said they lived in Wy lam. told them they had better go home, and then instructed the boys who were trying to get the children to leave home to get out of town or I would put them. in jail.
 Many of these men are trying to get to Muscle Shoals because they think Henry Ford will get the nitrate plant there, and others, I think, came south because they thought it would be warmer here.
 If this plantation owner who has asked for men still wants 400 l am going to see that everyone who does not want to work leaves town. If these men are willing to work, then We want them to have jobs if there are any, and will do everything in our power to assist them, but We do not want them as care on the city"
