This series contains contracts for salt manufacture, correspondence concerning contracts, and applications for military exemption for persons engaged in salt manufacture. An act approved 1861 Nov. 11, "An Act to encourage the Manufacture of Salt in Ala.," authorized the Governor to lease state salt lands and to contract for the production of salt. Included are an 1861 Dec. contract leasing the State Salt Springs in Clarke County to John P. Figh for a period of ten years; an 1862 July contract with L.W. McClung and Capt. Joseph Jaques of Knoxville, Tenn., to produce salt for the Ala. Salt Manufacturing Company, a Macon Co., Ala. consortium composed of David Clopton, Absalom A. Barton, Cullen A. Battle, A.J. Battle, Wylie W. Mason, George W. Campbell, and N.S. Graham, to manufacture salt in Saltville, Va.; and a contract with Daniel McLeod and Samuel W. Harwell to produce salt for Alabama on the coast of Florida. Included is the correspondence between Gov. John Gill Shorter and McClung and Jaques concerning their difficulties in obtaining kettles, lumber, and brine from the firm of Stuart, Buchanan and Company. Also included are applications by William J. Bush and Thomas Stuart of Barbour County and Warren W. Mooney of Pike County for military exemptions to allow them to manufacture salt.
