ALABAMA CO. HAS b|G PROGRAM AT
 HOLDINGS IN STATE.
Recently Acquired Property In EtoWah County Being
 Worked Now

Extensive schedule of plant en- largement, rebuilding and improve ment by the Alabama company, which is now under headway, includes the following. it was learned Saturday:
 Rebuilding of the company railroad lines from Boyles to Village Creek, half the distance to the mines and coking plant at Lewisburg. new To- comotive and 20 new cars have been purchased and are in service on the railroad
 The company Is also driving into the recently acquired and contiguous property of the Etowah Mining com pany in Etowah county. In getting into the new ore deposits the com pany is using it's own openings which run to the line of the properties that have been acquired.
 The company is pushing the open ina of No. 2 mine at Lewisburg. where it expects to be getting out 300 tons of coal per day by September. This work was begun in 1920, but was halted on account of the slump in the iron trade and other bad conditions. It will be rushed to completion, the company needing the coal both for and coke trade.
 Pig Casting Machines.
 The company rebuilt it's second Gadsden stack last fall and winter and resumed operations there the middle of last month. It is using pig casting machines at both furnaces. These machines allow the molten iron to flow into steel mo1ds. which are on an endless chain, the iron being cooled as the chain travels. The iron thus cast is absolutely free of dirt and dross. and every pound is sus- eeptible of foundry use. The pigs are also of uniform size and are handled with greater ease.
 The company installed the pig cast Ing machines about two years ago and has found them of eminent satis- faction. This iron has proven un- usually popular in the foundry iron trade over the country. The Alabama company. although not the largest merchant iron producer, is credited with a trade territory as extensive as the largest, and the same is said of it's foundry coke. which goes into every state in the south and middle west.
 Railroad Connections.
 The Alabama company's railroad line now connects with some of the largest industries in the East Bir- mingham section. These include the Lehigh and Phoenix cement plants now building, the Hercules and Du- Pont powder mills and the Alabama By-Products plant: also the Wander bilt furnaces of the Woodward Iron company. It connectsAwith the South ern railway at East Birmingham and the Louisville and Nashville Belt Line a Boyles.
 - F. N. Rich of Baltimore, president of the company, and the board of di- rectors, who visited here last week, went over the properties and inspect ed the improvements that are being made. The properties are in direct charge of John w. Porter, vice presi- dent and general manager.

AMERICAN LITERATURE

1t Is a most conservative csti-
mate to say that nine-lenths of
our university teachers are more
competent to discuss the literature
Of England than the literature OF
America; and the actual quantity
hot to speak of the quality-of
instruction provided in the higher
study of our own literature is rel
atively insignificant. This is OBJ
viously not a happy state OF affairs
for native letters; yet this condi-
ton is the natural consequence of
careless acquiescence in the con-
tention that American must always
be d part of English literature. 1t
is perhaps wiser to accept this
contention than to listen to those
revolutionaries who wish to cut
themselves off without shilling
of their inheritance, and who
stcrnly bid our English ancestors
never darken our doors again.
But our national literature will
never hold its due place nor per-
form its proper work in our con-
seriousness till we reverse the
orthodox contention and declare.
instead, that the older English lit
erature must forever be a part of
American literature.-Stuart y.
Sherman in the Yale Review.

Then she leaned out and watched
