 Northern Trade CenterS

That former mountain of 350.000 tons of coke at the by-product plant of the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron 900 tons. The remaining 100000 tons is normal supply and no great CT quantity than the company would like to have on hand. at a period
 when there is such a strong demand for coke.
 In addition to the general demand fer coke the Sloss- Sheffield company requires an enormous daily supply for its five active furnaces, the
 three in Birmingham and the two at Muscle Shoals. The company will need still more coke next month wien it blows in the second stacl, at North Birmingham now under process of repair.
 Spot coke market arose to $9 fol- lowing the demand from the shut
 off customers of the Ruhr basin coming on top of the domestic de- l mand.
 J. ". Mcqueen, president of the Sloss- Sheffield company, who is just back from the east, said: 'The north that have been made in the south and more than ever conscious of the south as an inviting field for in- vestment. There is a genuine reali-
 zation up there of our distinct ad- vantages of soil and climate and the
 peaceful character. of our American labor. These basic conditions have been forcetully impressed on the east and now the impression is one of conviction.

SHELBY COUNTY ROADS| NOT CONSIDERED SAFE| FOR WHISKY RUNNERS(
Solicitor John A. Darden Tells Experince on Way to
 Birmingham

State, federal and county officers have established vigilant customs service in Shelby county, levying toll in the form of arrests and liquor seizures, according to John A. Dar- den, Coosa county solicitor and lature, who. Monday, told of his ex- periences in travelling from Good water to Birmingham Saturday through Leeds, Dunnavant and Vim cent.
 Mir. Darden's family lives at East Lake. his son and daughter being Howard college students. When he comes to Birmingham. he drives through and occasionally loads his car with things for the family. Sat- urday, according to MT. Darden, he was accompanied on the trip by Yancey Bohannon. also of Goodwater The car was laden with suit cases and severa, gallons of ribbon cane syrup in cans and MT. Bohannon's tools.
 Just after passing over the noun tain near Dunnavant, Mir. Darden said, Ford car parked in the road blocked their passage. A man ap- preached with gun in hand, he said, and asked to search the car. Mir Darden consented and the man seized can of syrup and shook it, evil uently to detect the scent of liquor, if possible. He then told the pair to pass on.
 But their troubles were not over. When their car reached the foot of the mountain four more officers stopped them, asking if they had seen the man farther back. This evidently prevented second search, MT. Dar- den said. The four men were l.. L.. Phillips. former chief state law en- forcement officer; c. R. Stone. fed eral prohibition officer; John H.. Draper, state law enforcement offi- cer. and Deputy Sheriff Sheally of Shelby county. Deputy Sheriff Fall ker of Shelby county was the officer on the side of the mountain, Mir. Dar- den said he was told.
 MT. Darden's concluding thought was that Shelby county roads were not especially clear for transporta- tion of illicit merchandise
