ALABAMA.
ATHENS.
A Reunion of One of the Oldest Families in
 North Alabama.


 Athens, May 15-(Special Correspond ence.) "A reunion of one of the oldest families in town, if not in the state, was had at the residence of MT. John M. Russell yesterday. The occasion was the 77th anniversary of Mrs Sarah C. Tanner, widow of the late Peterson Tan ner, one of the best known citizens ever known in Athens, as was eYinced by his election to the office of county treas urer thirty-seven years consecutively, and mother-in-law of MT. Russell. Her sisters, Mrs. Mary Crawford and Mrs. James H. IIine, 76 and IS years old, re- spectvely, were present. Your. corre- spondent (75) and his wife (66) were among the invited guests, representing in the aggregate near 400 years of this life of two original families of Aaron Redus and Samuel Tanner, two of the earliest settlers in Athens.
 Mrs. Peterson Tanner and her sisters are the embodyment and personification of true southern womanhood, and pos sess in a high degree all of the virtues and graces that go to make up the eul- tured Christian woman. Mrs. John M. Russell is a type of her mother, and is peerless as a house-keeper and cook, and the menu of the occasion was equal to the spread of the best hotels in the country.
 MT Russell is a we'll known man in business circles, is our worthy post master and probably the strongest man in the county before the people. and withal a sound money democrat, and it is said that he is the best fed man in Alabama.
 Beautiful flowers letters of congratu- lations and presents from loved ones at a distance were received, and a more en-, joyable occasion is but seldom had in Athens. The charming granddaughters, types of southern beauty, Misses Sila and Fannie Russell, were never more attractive, and left nothing undone to gladden. the hearts of their ancient and honored ancestors.

THE MILITARY ENcAMPMENT.

The resignation of Col. Price Williams from command of the First Regiment AL bama State Troops, Q year ago has de- prived him of the honor of seniority, and when the brigade encampment meets Col Louis V. Clark of the Second Regiment will be the commanding officer of the three regiments, he being the senior Colonel. There is a proviso, however The last Legislature authorized the ap- pointmcnt of a Brigadier-General for the State Volunteers, and it is quite likely such Appointment will be made in time for this summers encampment. In fact, certain conditions have conspred to make this appointment more neces- sary than it would appear under ordi- nary circumstances. Some of the pa pers of the State and members of Colo nel Williams regiment seem to claim the seniority for him, because he is really the elder of the three Colonels, that is, he has been longest in the service. He re- signed but was reelected His resig nation clearly deprived him of the dis tinetion. All military authority seems to agree on that point. The Second Reg iment boys are demanding that Colonel Clark be given the honor to which he is entitled provided either Colonel is to command. If, however, it is deemed best to appoint a Brigadier-General there is unanimous desire for the distinc- tion to fall upon Ex-Governor Thomas C.. Jones. He Is exceedingly popular with all the State troops, is a military genius loves every one of the boys and would do much to elevate and strengthen the States military department.

REAR ADMIRAL MEADE,s CASE.

There is just now much discussion over the action of Rear Admiral Meade in denouncing the administration through an interview in the New York Tribune
 It was an act of insubordination, and if true and found guilty the officer will be liable to final discharge from the service
 He has been in the naval service for for ty-five years, and his hour for honorable retirement on life pay is rapidly ap- preaching. The punishment due him would therefore be quite severe. With an impulsive nature in his old age the Admiral let his temper get the better of him, and he proceeded to denounce the policy of President Cleveland and Secre- tary Herbert. In view of the fact that the American government does not pay its sea dogs for suggesting plans and pol icies, but delegates that power to others, the Admiral has made himself liable to the severest penalty, but in view of his long and faithful service it is to be hoped that the President will exercise clemency, and that the authorities will withhold punishment other than severe reprimand

THE RIGHT TO VOTE.

The registration feature of the South Carolina law is one point of attack by eX-Senator Butler. This feature is sim liar to the registration clause in the Sayre election law. The South Carolina Legislature passed a bill providing for a constitutional convention. The dele gates to the convention will be elected in August, Voters must register month previous. The registration certificate must be preserved and shown at the polls. It is claimed this is a new qualification for suffrage not warranted by the con- stitution. If the voter moves he must get a new certificate. If the certificate is lost the voter must prove such fact to the satisfaction of the supervisor. He must show that he has not sold it. Other stringent provisions are provided. It is said this clause of the law was passed to rob the negro of his vote, for he moves about so much that it is hard for him to prove his place of residence, and he is apt to lose his certificate
 A provision similar to the foregoing was embodied in section 36 of the Sayre law. It was found to work a hardship in many instances. Its requirements were so rigid that many good citizens were robbed of their right of suffrage. The last Alabama Legislature repealed this clause of the law The voter can now cast his ballot without being called on to produce and surrender his certifi- cate of registration.
 The South Carolina case will be car ried to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has several times decided that it has not the right to interfere with a State as to the regulation of suffrage. Of course, a State cannot pass a law con trary to the fifteenth amendment, which forbids any abridgment of the right of citizens to vote "on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude." But a State can allow males to vote and pros hibit females. It can prohibit minors, idiots. etc. In fact, by reference to the constitution of Alabama we find almost a dozen different classes of people are deprived of the right of suffrage.

DON MS LINGO IDEAS.

Hon. Don M. Dickinson is posing just now as one of the jingoes. He does not indorse the foreign policy of the admin istration, and wants to resent the pres ent attitude of Great Britain. He seems much annoyed because England is strengthening her holdings just opposite the American seaboard, and points alarm ingly to the fact that she is improving her Notifications at Halifax, Nassau and St. Lucia island. Because England is pre- pairing for war in time of peace MT Dickinson thinks we should do likewise in a spirit of resentment. The idea of strengthening our Notifications is a good one, and we ought to thank Eng land for the example if it is to prompt action.
 In his Birmingham speech the other night MT. Gompers declared his opposi- ton to labor strikes, but very wisely sug- gested that working people should pre- pare for them. It's an old and valued lesson, and the childrens copy books for generations have set for copy these words: Tn time of peace prepare for war" England does this. and it is not an omen of a bellicose purpose that even in this enlightened age she builds her forts, mounts her guns and furnishes her musketry on her own soil.
 If MT Dickinson is not very careful he will frighten the women and children, and disturb the equilibrium of lovers of gentle peace, but he will not succeed in making Uncle Sam afraid of England, nor any other nation on Gods green earth. MT. Dickinson should desist and discuss a living question-finance. With what kind of money shall we build our forts and navies?
