Commercial Club Plans To Put
 Town Before South And State

Tarrant City, a suburb of Birming- ham, now has population of 5000 and Is growing, according to the Tar rant Land company. and with many new improvements that are being made In residences, as well as com mercial and industrial concerns. this popular site promises to become one of the leading suburbs around the city within the next few years.
 commercial club composed of prominent business men of this town was recently organized with the pur- pose of putting Tarrant City on the map, and to encourage foreign con- cerns to locate there. During the past few months, eight new stores, two new churches, and 40 new residences have been built, and the foundatio for many homes have been laid, ac. cording to Dr. F. l. Tarrant of the company
 During the past year more than 500 lots have been sold through the Farrant Land company. Owing to the location on the Birmingham-M Pin son paved highway, Tarrant City is an ideal location for the subur- ban home, having all the facilities of the city home. including schools, paved streest and churches.
 We have no doubt but that Tar rant City will be one of the most hustling suburbs around Birmingham within the next few years,' said Dr. Tarrant. Many people are beginning to appreciate the suburban home, where they can be away from the smoke and dirt of city life, and the constant noise of traffic."

TARRANT CITY GROWS; WOODSTOCK COMPANY PUSH IMPROVEMENTS BUSY SHIPPING SLAG
Use Of Product Spreads To Six States. COncern's Head RenOrts

Use of slag, the by-product of the blast furance, in commercial enter prises is rapidly gaining, according to the Woodstock Slag company, with offices at 403 Farley building. At the present time this company is shipping this product into six states and handling big rush of orders, G. A. Mattison, Sr., president, says.
 Reports show that the Woodstock Slag company Is shipping its prod uct to Florida, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Louisiana and Misss- sippi, with many orders being filled for contractors in the Birmingham district.
 Slag being used in the construction of the new municipal auditorium on Eigthth avenue and Twentieth street is being furnished by the Woodstock company; also that being used in the building of the new scnool at Ingle- nook, and the new city high school being erected at Bessemer.
 "It appears" said MT. Mattison that the building trades will be kept busy for many months to come, as much of the construction now going on is nothing more or less than catch ing up with the amount of building that was lost during the war. Public improvement programs in various southern states are under way on an extensive scale, while private con- struction is booming"

noted recently in cement. but the Atlas is the first company formally to announce the cut. Mills are work ing night and day, and there is nc cessation of orders, the abnormal activity in building construction continuing throughout the south. The reduction was made merely because 1t has been found possible to de- crease the cost of cement produce tion, and the buyer is getting the benefit. This action is expected to give still further impetus tG building for a saving of 25 cents a bag on the 2,000,00O barrels of cement which will be consumed between now and January 1 means a total of $500,000 in tn epockets of builders.
 The coal market was featureless, says the usual seasonal influences.
 Lumbermen reported active small lot buying and depleted mill stocks, with every indication of another big building year in sight for 1924. Buy CTS of southern yellow pine were re- minded that the big Japanese de- mand for Oregon fir will be felt in the south directly, for pine must make up any possible shortage of fir for domestic consumption

WEEKLY REVIEW OF INDUSTRIAL NEWS
LARGE RAIL PURCHASES
 FEATURE OF PAST WEEK

A week of continued cheerful ac- tivity in practically all lines of in dustry was featured by the an nouncement of large railroad pur- chases in the steel market
 Birmingham got its share of the orders placed, the Tennessee Coal, Iron an Railroad company obtain ing the Southern railways sorder for over 10000 tons of 100-pound rails, and additional orders from the Mis- souri Pacific and Memphis, Kansas and Texas roads. Birmingham steel manufacturers have orders booked for an indefinite period.
 Conditions in the iron market con tinued unchanged. with little inn provement expected by the furnace interests during November. Buying in small lots continues to be the rule, but heavy orders for future de- livery are expected as soon as buyers are convinced that there will be no further decline in the market. In- quiries are picking up.
 A feature of the week was the announcement by the Atlas Portland Cement company of a reduction of 25 cents a barrel in the price of ce- ment. A downward trend has been

YELLOWLY CONTINUES TO SEIZE BREWERIES

PHILADELPHIA Nov. 11.-Six breweries m this district were seized by federal agents under Chief Fed eral Agent Yellowly, despite a de- cision handed down Friday by Fed eral Judge MacKeehan, denying the right of prohibition officials to seize breweries operating under permits issued by the commissioner of inter- nal revenue. Fourteen other brewer ies were seized Friday.
 MT. Yellowly said he was not dis turbed by Judge McKeehans ruling, which was made in the case of a Pottsville, Pa, brewery seized two months ago. He declared that the procedure against the plants being seized now is different from that em- ployed against the Pottsville brew cry. He said the internal revenue act, as well as the Volstead act, is being utilized in these cases.

related how they made a dash for
safety as the cars began to pile up.
The police were called and the fire
company No. l put the fire out from
the engine of No. 46 which was sl-
most completely wrecked. The hurl
of a mass of burning coal from the
engine on Engineer McCarthy's body
is said to have caused his death. He
was removed from the engine to one
of the buildings of Williams & Clark
and after receiving the church rites
from Rev. John r. O'Connor or st.
Joseph's Catholic church he expired.
Mccarthy according to railroad men

been away from the house only a
short while, after a time when ex-
ira locks had been placed on all pos
sible points of entrance she found
bedding had been tossed to the

ways, silverware strewn about and
chairs and carpets put on the din

Aside from the ghost theory,
which most of the people out here
including Mr.. and Mrs. Hum

it is the popular impression that
some man sent to prison by Hum
phreys when he was u. s. district
attorney, is nursing an old grudge.
If such is the case, it probably
accounts for his having stolen only
a diamond ring, a little money and
a stick pin.
