Editor Star: BY the morning pa
per we see that the a. {. p, through
the central committee, is preparing TO
speak to the Commission. The ques-
ton naturally arises as TO what right
such committe has to speak for the
party. If correctly reported the COM
mfttee feel hurt that the Executive
Council has not consulted them be-
fore making their statement 10 the
Commission, yet appear to think that
they are authorized to speak for the
party without any expression from
the members of such party. \ number
of wears ago certain men were select
ed as 2 central committee of the A. y.
Up. but nothing was said as to the term
of office being for life. In the failure
of the party to appoint new commit
rec il is reasonable to suppose tnat IN
/ any matter Of business, such as calling
! q new convention, the old committee
/ would act, but when it comes to eN-
pressing an opinion on new political
| questions which have arisen years
after their appointment, they are TAX

and any expression which they &c
make can only be the expression OF the
number of men who were at the meet
ing and no more an expression for the
whole party than would be that OF any
other equal number Of men.

 But for more than all else, founded as the order is, upon a faith in revealed re- lglon of the Holy Bible, it's members be- leve that when God made man in His own image and after His own likeness, that He made a white man; and as God gave to that first created man and to his descendants dominion over all inferior creatures, that only white men should rule and govern in a white mans country: and further be- lieving that "disloyalty to race is treason to God" they pledge themselves never to vote for, to aid or assist, CT by silence con- hive at the election or appointment of any other than loyal patriotic white man to any office or place of preferment in the government of the states or of the United States.
 The supreme headquarters is located in Birmingham, and in the practice of one of their cardinal principles, which is home patronage and protection, they have all their printing and other work in the man. ufacture of supplies done here in their home city.
 One of the facts of which the officers of the order boast is that larger percentage of the membership available for military duty have volunteered and gone into the army than that of any other patriotic or der in existence.
 The order, it seems, has struck a popular chord, and is growing rapidly.
 Maj. w. H. Hunter of this city is the supreme secretary and there are now more than three hundred citizens of this city who have joined the order.

Why shafter Had the Command

From the New York Evening Post.
 Washington-Now that Santiago has fall en and all that remains of the campaign is the clearing up of the debris, 1t is fitting that some little explanation should be of fered of General Miles share in the enter prise. It will be recalled that when the general started for the front it was posi- lively started in dispatches that he would not relieve General Shafter of direct conn mand, and that his presence would have no effect upon the situation beyond enab- ling Shafter to make his reports to the semi or major general on the spot, instead of sending them all the way to Washington. This statement was contradicted on many sides, but the sequel has proved iss essen- tal truth The facts underlying General Miles movement to the front were not widely known The secretary of war. who is a natural politician has had a desire from the start to push every Michigan man who had been friendly to him in the past into the best military position. It was General Shafters Michigan antecedents which gained for him the command of the expedition. in spite of the fact that General Wade was at Tampa helping to organize 1t. and was Shafter's senior; this is perfectly well known fact in Washington. The president, however has great faith in eGn- eral Miles military judgment and in spite

REGENTS OF THE
 WHITE SHIELD

Birmingham's magnificent fame and repu- tation is not destined to rest forever on the present chief predicate-iron, coal and manufactories
 Other factors are at work even now, which will serve to spread her name far and call attention to the fact that her citi- zens are as alert, active, resourceful and enterprising along all other lines as are to be found anywhere in other cities of our great codntry.
 For it is a fact that both art, literature, and the sciences, have many vo,aries here, and already has their contributions to their respective channels of thought awakened the attention of men and women not only in every section of our own country, but in countries beyond the sea. And the Regents of the White shield, a secret fraternal order, which had it's ori- gin here in November, is one of the institu- tions that is destined to share the atten- tion of the people of the United States. Scarcely more than two years old, and it has already established conclaves of the order in nearly every southern and in some of the western states, and numbers in its membership many thousand men.
 Its motto is Patriotism, Philanthropy and Protection.
 It is a strictly fraternal secret order, not unlike Masonry, Odd Fellowship, etc.. but is wholly American and for Americans only.
 It is non-political, non-sectional and non- seetarian
 Its originators and chief promoters are ex-union and ex-confederate soldiers, and their sons, quite number of whom are now serving in the army battling for the principles which the teachings of the or der is intended to encourage.
 The membership is confined to those only of the Caucasion race and who avow their steadfast loyalty to the United States gov ernment.
 Anarchists, socialists, communists and all persons not of free birth and full Cau- cason blood are excluded.
 It's purposes is to unite in closer bonds of fraternity the people of every section of the unioin, to cultivate q higher ideal of patriotism, to enlarge their opportunities for philanthropy, and aid and assist in protecting their countrys flag, the affairs of commerce and trade to the end that the American workingmen may receive their just reward in work and wages. To pro- tect their members in person. their homes their legal rights. the good name of their families, and to shield the white women of our country against the assaults of treacherous fends, by making that crime

SUGAR MILLS,
 CORLISS ENGINES

Eleven years ago the Birmingham Ma chine and Foundry company was organ ized. and site purchased on Tenth ave- nue. at the corner of Thirty-sixth street, or what would be Thirty-sxth street if the Louisville and Nashville railroad did not occupy the ground. The location is an ideal one for great factory, for sWitches give access direct 10 the Southern and Ala bama Great Southern, as well as the Louis- vile and Nashville railroad. There a shop was erected. It was not a large shop The start was altogether unpretending, glying no promise to the eye of the success that has since been achieved. But from the be- ginning the business grew, and addition after addition became necessary, and TO- day the buildings and necessary yards cov- CT several blocks of ground Still larger buildings. 1t is plain, will soon be needed, and the prospect is that the East Birming- ham shop. as it is locally known, will be- come the largest shop of it's kind In the south
 It's success is due to its determination fram the outset to do honest and intelligent work. The men that organized the company the men lnF cHdISe ol II tOoseS. N'S stockholders then are its stockholders now. It's directors then are its directors now. It's officers then are it's officers now. Dr. R. ". Roland is the president of the company. He does not have an office downtown in an office building; his office is at the shop, and he knows every one of the 1S0 or more men in the employ of the company. He Is In the thick of its work. He is not figure head. filling an ornamental position, but he is the active manager and director Of the companys large and increasing pusl- mess. He knows everything that is going m in the works. The vice-president Is Mr. T. H. Aldrich. His money has been in the enterprise from the beginning, and Is still in if and it is more than probable that he is proud of his investment. MT. T. Fl. Ben ners is the secretary and treasurer, and he takes an active part in the general man. aeement of the business When one wants ,o see the former he is as apt to find him in The depths of the moulding room as in inc office. If he is not there, his efficient assistant, Mr. Benners, is The directors are Messrs. Roland. Aldrich and James Spence.

in the south, and on every hand are wheels and rolls and frames of almost any great size up even to one hundred tons. This weight is, however, extreme, but castings weighing from ten tons to twenty tons fill the shop. Expert machinists are adapting them to the work they have to do A casting of a tons weight would he in this shop a baby production. It is a foundry and machine shop for the turning out of heavy machinery, and there is not one bet ter equipped for that purpose in all the southern country. In this shop nothing is moved by hand Travelling cranes extend the length of the buildings and In the moulding room there are grea, cranes when handle the ladies' some of which hold 25,- 0c0 pounds of metal. It Is magnitude that most impresses the visitor. It Is shop for the manufacture and manipulation of great castings. There is not casting want ed anywhere that is beyond its capacity, whether it be a fly wheel with diameter close to thirty feet, or great spur wheel. or a cotton compress frame, sugar mill roller weighing thirty thousand pounds anything great and big the East Birming- ham factory stands ready to make and fin- ish in workmanlike manner of the best ma terial.
 One of its specalties is Corliss engines, but it makes no engine below 15O-horse pow CT, and Is ready to make a single engine having capacity of 3000-horse power. The frames of great engines are the pride of the East Birmingham shop. They are made so r'gid that h gh speed and steam pressure, with fluctuating loads, cannot throw them out of line. The result is that it's Corliss engines invariably remain in good condi- ton, needing very little repairs under all steam pTessures. The selection of material has something to do with this The ores of this district, and each one's good quail ities, are thoroughly understood at East Birmingham, and they are skillfully blend- ed with an eye to desired results. The girder of an East Birmingham engine is of the box type; the guides are bored afford ing perfect alignment; the cylinders are made of special mixture of close-grained iron; the valves have large wearing sur faces; the valve gear is simple and easily accessible; the cross-head is of box form; the dash pot is of the vacuum type; the pis ton rings are self-adjusting; the govern or is of the fly ball type; the connecting rods are made of the best hammered iron, and the main shaft Is also of hammered iron, accurately turned. The frame of Corliss engine of 2,0O0-horse power Is some- thing gigantic, and the reduction of the casting to smoothness and usefulness would stagger mind unaccustomed to such tasks Such tasks are. however, worked out every day at East Birmingham.
 Another speciality of the shop is sugar mills. sugar mill is not play.hing. by any means. It weighs from 350,000 to 6OO,- 900 pounds, and every mill made at East Birmingham is set up complete and found to be in good working order before ship to stay in good working order one year.
The age-herald., 1898-07-31

Each mill contains six or nine rollers and each of these rollers is a single casting weighing from 17,0oO to 3O000 pounds. If you think such a roller is not big piece of iron work, step into the moulding room and see one in a pit. The cas<ing itself is so immense that days are consumed in the cooling process. The sugar mills of East Birmingham are well known in Louisiana and Texas, and doubtless soon will be equally as we'll and favoraby known in Cuba. These mills, driven by Corliss en- zine of East Birmingham make, show high capacity of cane per hour, and they also show high extraction of sugar to the weight of cane. As a rule, a crop is taken off without a break or mishap of any kind when these carefully-constructed mills are used. The material and workmanship that enter into these mills are supplemented by skilful erection in the sugar house, and the entire mill is handed over in perfect working order.
 The varied ores and their products of this district enter into the high-grade cast ings and heavy machinery of the East Bir- mingham shop. These products are blended to suit the particular work in hand The quality of every ore mine and of every fur mace is studied by Dr. Roland and his as- sociates Not only are the uses of brown ores studied, but the brown ores of each locality are investigated and tested. And so with the red ores Whatever quality IS needed in any construction can be obtained in the Birmingham district by skiliful bleHt1lng processes. Of this fact Dr. Bo- land is~thoroughly and fully convinced, and so are his associates. They do not have to go elsewhere for raw material. It is right here at hand, no matter what the quality may be that is desired. And in the matter of blending furnace products they have become experts. Every quality that pig iron is capable of can be obtained in this district through careful selection and expert blending Not pound of other ma terial is put in the castings made at East Birmingham.
 The plant as 1t stands is the most com- plete of its kind in the south. It possesses its own electric light plant, and at this sea- son of the year, when sugar mills must be hurried to the houses they are destined for. the foundry is as busy all night long as it is in daytime.
 Altogether, about one thousand mouths are fed through the work done in the busy plant It is one of the most promising and prosperous of Birmingham's factories, and it is an ample illustration of the desirabil- ity of turning the pig iron of the district info manufactured forms before offering it to the outside world. The profits and the labor of the mine and furnace are thus doubled at least-probaby quadrupled. and in all the district there is not q better example of the process we all desire and are trying to reach than the sugar mills and Corliss engines that the East Birmng- ham machine shop is sending week after week to other sections of the country
