and steel-making mills, and consuming plants depending on them, have also maintained full or nearly full operations.
 Limestone, which is one of the three mate- rials entering into iron and steel making, has developed another large industry here. The Phoenix Portland Cement Co.,, Nazareth, Pa., is building 1,5O0, ,o0o-barrel Portland cement plant at a cost of more than $2,5o0,000 on 80-acre tract of land near the by-product plant of the Sloss-Sheffield company. Diamond drills have shown that deposits of limestone on this acreage running to depth of 200 feet will furnish material for the production of more than 200,000,0 900 barrels of cement of first grade quality. The estimated depth of this de- post is 2,10O feet
 This industry will have Its raw materials alongside its plant and the leading trunk lines entering the district run by the property. It is not to bc wondered at that the Phoenix com pany has followed the example of the Atlas company in securing a Birmingham foothold.

GREAT SUCCESS ATTENDS REVIVAL

Seldom has any evangelist ever visited Bir- mingham who has met with greater success than the Rev. George Tucker who is rounding out the second week of his revival services at West End" said J. M. Russell, who has been a regular attendant at the meetings.
 Every evening since he started his re- vival he has had anywhere from three thou sand to three thousand five hundred in at tendance and last Sunday evening there were four thousand two hundred in the congre- gation. Seventy-five people answered the call on Monday evening when the evangelist asked for those who had been converted, showing the great power of the man. I was glad to see the interesting story Dolly Dalrymple wrote in Wednesdays Age-Herald about the Rev. Mr Tucker, as it was of interest to thou sands of people who have heard him during his revival here and who like him.''

THE BLOC HOLDS ITS OWN.
n Snure, in Farm Life.

John Snure, in Farm Life.
 Glib political talk follos ed by nonperform- ance is not passing muster with the farmers today as well as it formerly did there are indications of increasing political mor- tality in good many parts of the union as a result.
 In the last year, there has been much criti- cism of the agricultural bloc in Congress- criticism proceeding from interests hostile to agriculture or out of touch with agriculture But this criticism has weighed little with the country as a whole. Proof of it will be seen in the new Congress which will take office in March of next year and will be elected in November. The new Congress will be more pronouncecly in favor of giving square deal to agriculture and 10 the far mer than the present Congress.
 It is worth while taking note of the fact that the Esch-Cummings transportation act has been an issue in a number of states and con- insisting for many months on the overhaul ing of this law.
 Numerous men in Congress, Senate and House, who have sat silent and inactive when they might have done something effective to get helpful railroad legislation will be found in due time to be quietly passing out of pub lie life and back into private existence. And while this Congress will evidently do noth- ing to help solve the troublesome railroad and freight rate problem-a most vital ona for the farmers and shippers-the new Con gress is quite likely to feel called on to do something.

THE GROWTH OF BIRMINGHAM

'What have I to say about Birmingham?" asked J. R. Kilgore of Jasper, who is att tending the Alabama Merchants Association here this week. "Well, only this much, can remember back in 1878 when I shot and killed wild duck on the site where the Louisville and Nashville passenger station now stands. At one time there was large gum tree grove where the Louisville and Nashville freight de- pot now is and a party of us were camping there when I shot the duck Birmingham has certainly grown some since those days and rightly deserves the name of the Magic City,
 Jasper, too, he continued, lis growing city. Crops are better than they have been in some time, in fact, I can say that I ex- pects to have the best cotton crop this season that I've had in ten years. I have 2,100 acres, 100 of which are in cotton, all in the best of condition"

HORSE oUsTED FROM CAPITAL.

From Farm Life.
 Not even the changes brought by the war have made the difference in Washington brought about by the coming of the automobile
 Only few years ago motor cars were novel, ties; then came the time when dozen or more would be parked at the east front of the Capi- tai when Congress was in session; then began the passing of the carriages and other horse drawn vehicles from the business and resi- dence sections, and parking space on every street is at premium.
 Official Washington, from President Hard ing down to the clerk who has been crowded out of Washington to bungalow across the District line, drives or is driven, in cars rang ing all the way from the presidential limou- sine to the clerks "flivver."
 Prior to the Taft administration the only White House automobile was a runabout driven by Miss Alice Roosevelt who was the first woman to take out license to drive car in Washington. MT. Taft was the first president to make use of motor car.
 The White House has three cars for the use of the President and his family.-a touring car limousine and landaulet

FLOGGING IS GETTING TO BE
 A FAVORITE PASTIME

The explanation for the repeated floggings fin Birmingham is simple. Nobody is ever caught or punished. It doesn't matter what the offenses are with which the vic tims are charged, nor how much in certain cases they may deserve punishment Mob violence, whether committed by three or four men, or hundred or thousand, and regard less of it's motive, can never be justified in civilized country.
 One flogging has led to another in Birming- pie repeatedly take the law into their own hands and do so with impunity. Such an ex- ample cannot but encourage others to en- Gage in this form of lawlessness and 1t can- not be doubted that the ease with which men have been whipped in Jefferson county has done great deal to increase violence of this sort.
 Possibly, more progress could b made in arresting foggers If their victir- would give more assistance to the pol. depart ment and the sheriff's office. For personal req
  may dread further humiliation or another attack, but that Is not the way to stop this evil which is a disgrace to Birmingham.
 Even if the police authorities feel tha victim in some particular case got the punishment he deserved, they are not justified in dropping their investigations. The man who takes part in whipping is a criminal and he ought to be arrested, as other law breakers are arrested.

ITO THE LAST GASP"

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 Hindenbur,'r recent visit t. Munich, where he st; -ed the monarchist roactio aries to . frenzy of enthusiasm by his fiery appeals to their patriotism, was in ke ping with Junker traditions. The old order retires showing its teeth, ready to spring it's leash at the slightest favorable opportunity; but it is retiring never theless.
 Amid mighty clashing of sabers, the field marshal's hearers cried out that they would defend Germany's honor to the last gasp"
 It was all very picturesque-like scene from mediaeval times; flags and standards waved and fluttered, bright swords flashed in the glowing sun rays; the nation and the old leader of it's armies were acclaimed with loud and high professions of faith and loyalty Deutschland Ueber Alles!" thrilled the welkin. The light was reflected back from glittering uniforms and jeweled orders. In miniature semblance it was a replica of that other scene where the last of the Hohenzollerns proclaimed that ''in her just cause, Germany was ready to sacrifice the last horse and the last man.
 The occasion would have little significance but for the fatuous and dangerous jockey ing of France and England with reference to a separations policy that would be reasonable to all parties. The drifting apart of France and England is ominous. Civilization is none too surely established. Germany, driven to des- peraton, easily again might involve all Europe in war destructive than the last Inde- pendent coercive action by France easily might light the flames of final consuming Arma- geddon.
 The old order is passing but wounded boar still is dangerous in the extreme. It must be remembered that Russia bides her time, and that the plans of Lenine include German al- liance
 Such occasions as the Munich reactonary festival are not important unless the folly of the allied nations in their dealing with Ger

CROOKS TURN soUTHwARD

'The migratory season for all classes of crooks, from petty larceny thieves to profes- sional safe blowers, is almost at hand and it will not be very long before the police force of Birmingham will be on the go from morn till night" stated Chief of Police F. H. Me Duff.
 ''The crooks are mostly from the large cities in the east and north and when the weather up there gets too cold for them to ply their respective trades, they migrate down south, as habitually as the members of the feathered tribe. Of course Birmingham will be made temporary headquarters for the majority and permanent headquarters for a few, Birning ham being their mecca. The people cannot be too careful in the watching of their homes and no home should be left without at least person in charge. By exercising just little care in this respect, not only will the people benefit themselves, but also, greatly help the police department in their work"
