OF AUTO|STS
OPPOSED BY CITIZENS

 St. Stephens was settled by the Spaniaros in 1790. American colonists came in 1902. According to Thomas M Owens history of Alabama, the first American enterprise to be established was factory" or trading post. The town was laid out in lots In 1907 and a road opened to Natchez, Miss.
 The first Alabama territorial legislature as- sembled there in 1915. The only member of the senate was James Titus and the speaker of the house was Gabriel Moore of Madison county. The first bank was established in 1918 and among the directors were men who left their impress on the history of Alabama. In the same year the St. Stephens academy was incorporated and the trustees were authorized to raise $4,o0o by a lottery. In those days lotteries were not frowned upon as they afe now. One of the crumbed relics of the past IS old St. Stephens fort, built by the Spaniards.

THE TERRITORIAL CAPITAL
 OF ALABAMA

Mrs. Thomas M Owen, director of the state department of archives and history, has been notified that the boulder which will mark the site of St. Stephens, the old territorial capital of Alabama, will soon be ready for the dedica- tory exercises which will be held shortly, with prominent citizens of the state taking part. The monument was authorized by the state legislature in 1919 to commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of Alabama's admis- sion into the Union as state.
 All points of historic interest in Alabama should be preserved or at least marked in some way, lest they be forgotten. St. Stephens long ago ceased to be town. Located on the west bank of the Tombigbee river, about 100 miles by the river above Mobile, it was never much more than village. In 1918 it had population of 1,5oo, which had dwindled in 1sao to 75.

BIRMINGHAM TO BE GREAT CAR BUILDING CENTER

Vice President M. J. Caples of the Seaboard largest car manufacturing center of the United States. His road has placed orders for 1,750 new pressed steel cars and for the repair of 5000 old ones with the Chickasaw Ship building and Car company at Fairfield and enough finished cars have been turned over to the road by which to determine the char acter of the work. The Seaboard's vice presi- dent, who has personally inspected the plant and seen the cars turned out, is satisfied that his company's investment of more than $3,000, 900 in the output of this plant has been a wise one.
 The car plant at Fairfield was another step in the development of the steel industry in the south and immediate success. It has not lost day for lack of orders since it began operations 14 months ago and today has orders sufficient to carry it through the remainder of the year.
 Like the other iron and steel industries of the south, tN plant profits by the proximity of raw materials. The ore, coal and lime stone for making pig iron that is converted into steel are close to the car plant and the mills from which 1t secures it's materials.
 We knew the Chickasaw cars would be the equal of the best, but we are pleased to have high authorities say so.
