lis" fat black and smiling, as she hoverS over the savery viands that are grad ually reaching perfection under her skill full hand. There is the great fire place, almost as big itself as our modern kitchI ems; here must have hung the crane with its pots and kettles; here sat the curious ovens, with their three tiny legs and broad covers. Surely "Phillis' spirit hovers nigh.
 Near the front gate, in true, hospitable southern style, stands the old well, where the weary traveller was welcome to quench, and one falls to speculating as to how many wayfarers stopped at that old well to refresh himself with its linn pid waters and to recount to ready lis- teners the bits of news from his own To- oalty. We have in many respects supe- rior advantages to those possessed by our grandfathers but their lives must nec- essarily have been more placid and tram quil than our own, inasmuch as they all ways had time to enjoy the social side of life---to extend hospitality to friend or stranger. With some of us, alasi social duties are as much in the line of bus mess as any that come under the legiti- mate title.
 Within stones throw of the old King residence lies the family burial ground. The old iron gate has fallen from it's hinges, but the massive stone wall is still intact and evidently in as perfect q Sldl6 OI pfeSeTVdllOH as WHe0 It was COIL structed-more than half a century ago. Near the center of the plot a tall shaft of marble bears witness that Edmund King was born in Virginia, removed to Georgia and married Nancy Ragan, came to Alabama in 1917 and settled on this place, where he died June 28, 1863 in the 82d year of his age. He was wise and just man, a kind neighbor, a patriotic citizen, and was for more than fifty years an earnest and consistent member of the Baptist church."
 white stone near by pathetically tells how 'Lyttleton King was accidentally killed by his brother while shooting at deer in September, 1S4S. in the Fist year of his age" One can readily imagine the fond hopes that were shattered on that fatal day.
 There are other graves in the enclosure, among them those of two of the Short ridge family-Hon. George D. Shortridge, who married a daughter of Edmund King, and his son. George D. Shortridge, Jr. The grave of Judge Shortridge is un- marked save by rough stone, which bears no inscription. But the tall cedars stand sentinel above, and the ground ivy creeps lovingly over, and the soft leaves fall gently upon, the tomb of one of Ala bama's most gifted sons.

GREENSBORO.
Joe Jones and the Wife of Amos Thomas
 Jailed on the Charge of Murder.


 Jailed on the Charge of Murder.
 Greensboro, Nov. 1O.-(Special Core spondence)- Jones and the wife of Amos Thomas were arrested on Friday and jailed, charged with the murder of Amos Thomas, which occurred few nights ago in north Hale, a full account of which was published in the State Her ald. There are some strong circum- stances which point to the guilt of those parties The cause of the trouble was the supposed intimacy of Joe with the wife of Amos Thomas.
 The citizens of Greensboro are discuss ing the project of building a cotton fac tory. which shall cost $100,000 Forty thousand dollars have been already sub scribed for this purpose.
 A few populists met on Saturday in the office of Judge Hobson and appointed the following delegates to the conference called by Captain Kolb to meet in Bir- mingham on the 18th instant, viz: Judge Hobson, Tom Harris, ", T. StringfellpW and J. B. Hilton. Hon. Thomas K. Jones, who was twice a candidate for state treasurer on the populist ticket, was pres ent and in a short address severed his connection with the populist party ana announced his determination in the fu- ture to support the nominees of the dem ocratic party. We learn that in the  stance, that the populite party had run it's race, that the issue was not between the white man and the negro, and that he proposed to stand by the white man. MT. Jones is intellectually strong young man and has had a large and devoted fol- lowing among the populists of this coun- ty. What effect his return to the demo- cratic fold will have we are unable to say But we believe there are many good and true men in this county, who have strayed from the democrats party, who would be glad of an opportunity to return if they could be assured of a hearty welcome.
 Senators Morgan and Pugh will be the guests of Hon. Charles D. Waller on their visit to Greensboro. Their speeches to the people of Hale on the financial is sues are looked forward to with consider able interest, and if the weather should be favorable the house will be crowded to hear them.
 It is estimated that at least one-half of the cotton crop in this section has been marketed

An l.. 6 N. Collision.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 11.-One man was killed and another fatally injured by a collision of trains on the Louisville and Nashville railroad half mile south of Franklin about 10 o'clock last night. The collision was caused by a freight train attempting to run into Franklin when it had been ordered to wait for the passenger train at West Harpeth, six miles south. The passenger train left Franklin on time and the collision re- suited. Fireman Love of the passenger train was killed and buried under the wreck. Engineer L. A. Corbett had his arm crushed off and was fatally injured. None of the passengers were injured and none of the freight crew hurt.

WITH THE COURTS.

In the case of Mary L. B. Ensley, ex- ecutrix of Enoch Ensley. vs. Lady Ensley Coal, Iron and Railroad company de- cree was yesterday entered overruling the demurrers to the bill and the motion to dismiss by the respondent. A part of Chancellor Cobbs' ruling was as follows:
 "One of the grounds of demurrer as- serts that complainant holds and owns eighty of an issue of $500000 of bonds, that she has asserted her legal right thereto and is therefore stopped from maintaining this suit to cancel said bonds. This is misconception of said averments and prayer of the bill which is to rein state the $1,500,000 bonds and mortgage to the extent of the complainant's inter est therein, and to have it declared a prior and superior lien to the $5O0,O00 mortgage.
 ''The fact that the complainant holds eighty of the last mortgage bonds does not stop her from seeking to reinstate the first mortgage, even if by doing so it will render the eighty bonds of no value. She offers, however, to surrender these bonds if in the opinion of the court, it is neces- sary for her to do so. Estoppels are pro- tective only and are to be invoked as shields, their operation is limited to sav- ing harmless or making whole the person in favor of whom they arise The bill charges that the defendants have parted with nothing of value and that they are not innocent purchasers and cannot in- yoke the protection of and estoppel as against one otherwise having a prior or paramount title."-Lindsay vs. Cooper, 94 Alabama.

 on Tour of Inspection.
 Mobile. Nov. 9.-(Special Correspond ence)-Gov. William c. Oates, accom- panied by Col Harvey D. Jones and Col. R. H. Dawson, was in Mobile this morn- ing en route to Mount Vernon. The old barracks at that place were donated, with their beautiful grounds, to the state by the government at the last session of congress, and the governor is on a tour of inspection for the purpose of de- ciding what the state can best use the property for. He said to your corre- spondent this morning that 1t would prob ably be converted into an insane hospital. a reformatory for young criminals or something of that character.
 It is thought by some that the governor is tn Mobile for the purpose of casting silent eye over the political situation as much as anything else.
 When approached this morning on the subject of state affairs and the financial condition of the state he talked quite freely, but kept silent on everything of a political nature.

 Circuit court closed here Saturday.
 We are not surprised here at the efforts of the self-constltuted party dictator at Montgomery to force Governor Oates into the race for governor, but we feel that in, its scheme to down Joe Johnston for gov ernor, set aside Governor Oates, Colo nel Tompkins, Dick Clarke, General Pet tus and other worthy democrats for the senate in favor of Secretary Herbert, as well as to best Jess Stallings for con gress with the Montgomery postmaster, 1t has bitten off just little more than it can masticate.
 South Alabama democrats feel that ring rule is bad enough, and will not stand that of a dictator. The rank and file propose to take hand next time. Let the State Herald go on with the good work of reuniting the party.

 Years ago MT. J. W. Wallis. father of our esteemed townsman, James w. Wal ais, conceived the idea of constructing a machine that would pick cotton.

MONTEVALLO.T
Called to Florida-The Part Montevallo Has
 Played in State Affairs.

Montevallo Nov. 11.-(Special Corre- spondence. .)-Mrs. Lyman and her daugh- ter Miss Hattie, were called by telegram a few days since to Florida by the serious illness of Mrs. Hare, eldest daughter of Mrs Lyman. As the lovely and gentle Miss Mary Lyman Mrs. Hare was widely known and loved in Alabama. and her large circle of friends earnestly hope for her speedy recovery. ...
 Prof. Howard Griggs of Talladega spent few days of last week among his many Montevallo friends.
 I have been much interested, in the pe- rusal of Col. McCorvey's "E>>tory of the Government of Alabama It seems to me that every Alabama teacher would wish to place it in the hands of his pupils. There is within its pages so much of in- terest and importance pertaining to our state government, and 1t is so systemat- ically arranged and so tersely told as to render the little volume invaluable as book of reference alone. It should have place in every library, as should it be h. cluded in the curriculum of our schools. I lay 1t aside reluctantly at the last page with the hope that Colonel McCorvey may some time feel tempted to treat the public to a complete history of Alabama.
 As I take my customary ramble, mus ing on the book just laid aside,a l am re- minded that Montevallo herself has played no important part in state aHalrs. Many of her sons have been. bright and shining jewels in the states crown of honor. ..,z
 My way leads me today to one of the oldest residences, perhaps, in the state. It is now owned and occupied by MT. French Nabers one of the wealthiest and most prominent planters in this section. The house was built seventy-five years ago by Edmund King, who in his day owned a very large part of what is now the town of Montevallo, as well as much of the adjacent country. sThis is said to have been the first brick building erected in this pant of the state, and persons came from near and far to see "the brick house."
 Like all the pioneers of old, Edmund King knew how to select site for home and how to build a comfortable res- idence. The spacious old mansion, with It's succeed front. it's desS doorways and large fire places, rises from beautiful plateau and faces the old road that led to Elyton. TO one side is t,ss old kitchen, with its chimney of gigantic proportions. a vivid reminder of the south in ante bellum days. One can almost see .'Phil-
