sEoUoYAH, THE cADMus OF
THE cHERoKEEs
BY ELMO SCOTT WATSON

THIS Is the story OF an Indian who
rose to fame not as warrior nor a.
orator but as the inventor Of an al
phabet for his people which enabled
them TO write and read their own han
gunge. Sequoyah (Slkwayi) Of the
Cherokees WAS born IN Tennessee IN
l70O. The boy grew up among the In
dams unacqualnted with the white
mans tongue or any OF his arts. s

In silverwork and a skilled mechanic.
tie also made Photographs showing the
great deeds OF the Cherokee on the
warpath. In 1909, impressed by the
value OF the white mans "taIking
leaves" (books), Sequoyah conceived
system OF writing, suitable 60 the
Cherokee tongue. Undismayed by
ridicule, he persisted In his studies
until convinced that the Cherokeea
had SO syllables, which In various COM
binations constituted their vocabulary.
His next problem was 20 design sym
bols for each syllable. and that being
done. he taught his six-year-old daugh-
ter to build words from these symbols.
In 1927 SeQuoyah demanded trial
Tor his alphabet, and In a public test
be proved Its worth. The chiefs en-
aorsed his invention and Cherokees OF
all ages learned the alphabet with en-
thusIasm. The next year he left his
village In Georgia TO visit the Cbero-
KEGS In Arkansas and carry his inven-
ton 70 them. Again he was SUCCESS
ful. Two years later parts OF the 3l-
Bile were printed In Cherokee. In 1893.
the Cherokee Phoenix. the FIRST period
Teal ever printed In any Indian Ian
guage, was published as weekly at
New Echota, Ga.
When Sequoyah's trIbesmen wero
removed 10 Indian Territory he was
the great leader In organizing the re-
united nation. but he was little inter-
ested IN politics Aoong his people
was the tradition OF lost Cherokee
tribe that had wandered west before
Me hevoiution.
Although SeQuoyah was then moro
than eighty years old, he resolved to
snrry HIS message Of education 20 tho
lost tribe. His quest led him into Mex-
leo and there, In August, I843, weak
ened by privation. he died. I've Was

All that Birmingham knows about handicaps on production of iron and steel products is echo from the east. Here the pace of production goes on unimpeded and increases week by week. Beginning this week the Ten nessee company will be operating | nine furnaces, a Robertstown stack at Bessemer going in on foundry while 8 Bessemer furnace on foundry went on ferro manganese for a long run at that. Two furnaces are on foundry. one on ferro and six on basis. This is full normal for the Tennessee company.
 Double turn continues this week at Bessemer guide, bar and plate mills, rail and blooming mills at Ensley and tie-plate and structural mills at Fairfield. Car works con tinue at it's usual good race and max mum of steel production continues at the ingot mill.
 BiR Iron Bookings.
 Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron com pany, which sold 5Q.o00 tons of iron in June, has booked 3n,0o0 tons this month against production of 35.o00 NOAAss. hNAC GGAOuA iiilies iEbIl on yards and extremely small third quarter tonnage is sold in the dis triet.
 Iron market last week was list less over the country due to the sew eral disturbing factors. including tho two strikes. some unascertained freight rates and the like. Birming- ham base remains at S1S.50 to SEQ. Very little business. was dono last week at the high price. Makers are not worried over that on account of the statistical status of iron and it's inherent strength.
 Lower freight rates announced by Louisville and Nashville and South ern to St. Louis. Cincinnati and Louis ville, given in this column, have not been published and are not in effect.
 Wire Mills Busy.
 Wire drawing mills are busy and enjoy good prospects due to the ex- cellent condition of crops generally and the strong position of cotton in particular. Alabama Farm Bureau Marketing association has been al lowed an advance of s. 900. 900 by the war finance board to market cotton of members. That interests wire mills. Other southern states. which get wire mill products here, are also prepared for businesslike marketing of the chief product.
 Steel Exports
 The American Steel and Wire is executing a large order for wire for Japan and the Gulf States Steel has booked an order for wire for Paies- tine. Birmingham wire mill prod ucts are going to Argentina In con- tinuously good tonnages Steel hoops and bands are also among the ex- ports via Mobile.
 Eam Construction
 Resumption of construction work at Wilson dam cefferdams immedi- ately has been ordered by war de- partment. There is an unexpended balance of over t200,00 for this pur- pose.

Birmingham Basket and Veneer company, factory st First avenue and Thirty ninth street. Is another Bir- mingham industry which, turning ou. first-rate product, enjoys a good local trade. This concern is now full up on orders for baskets for the truckers of Jefferson county. be- sides caring for it's out-of district trade.
 Business was slack during the first months of the year. but for two months it has been at a high point and that pace seems assured of con- tinuance for some time to come. The concern makes a large assortment of market baskets, egg cases and the like. It has it's own wood cutting machinery and makes its own veneer stock for the baskets and the egg cases.
 The company not only has a good trade at home, but 1t sells Into other states. going as far south and west as New Orleans and on the north Into Tennessee. Its product is well known over the southeast.
 The factory has been in operation about two years and has made re- markable progress. Merit of product has carved the way both at home and further away.
