Is that not an overwhelming statement?
He refers to the bigotry of these people.
The remembrance Of the terrible Council
of Blood" endured by their forefathers is
indellibly impressed on their minds. Is 1t
surprising that the Boors should be hostile
toward the Church of Rome? History
teaches us that a prosecuted people do not
always learn federation for others. The
mind of the Boer or rustic has not been
rendered liberal by the broadening infiu-
ence Of education. His views are apt per-
haps to be bounded by his own horizon.

for novel that would thrill the reader
She was left fatherless when but
month old and was wholly orphaned at five.
Though left with considerable wealth the
vicissitudes of an orphan life naturally were
not slight ones. However though painfully
sensitive of the loss of a mother love she
was not devoid of attention and care of
relatives and her educational advantages
were the best to be received at that time.
Some thrilling accounts of her journeys to
and from school through what was then
the Indian reservation between Tennessee
and Georgia are treasured by her family
as well as are the many historic legends of
stirring Revolutionary events in which her
ancestors participated and who were the
actors in the scenes she narrates.
AS a tiny girl she listened eagerly at her
great grand mothers knee to valorous eX-
ploits with which she in turn now thrills
the hearts of great grand children.
Though leading a checkered life while
young, surely of her it could be said "they
married and lived happy ever after" AT
eighteen DIR. John W. Richardson became
one of her admirers, and though a sutton of
greater wealth had the advantage over him
of being the selection of the family, she
was so loyal and decided in her preference
for him that her friends finally gave their
consent to the union which proved so hap
by one that no regret could ever have
been felt at it's consumation The young

the taxation was oppressive they could east
" depart. And to whom had the British
Outianders sworn allegiance? Outlandeys of
other nations claim to be well satisfied
with their treatment by the South African
reubic. Is 1t natural that the systematic,
home-loving Beers should be willing to
hand over his government to Uitlanders
whose presence in the land is only prompted
by 1.-The greed of gold?" Especially would
he hesitate to grant demands which would
place him in the power of the dominant An
glo-Saxon. Remember these people have
more than once left their homes to escape
British rule. In August Dom Paul's gov
eminent granted the demands made by
England in June, with the condition with
future non-interference. Was that unreas-
enable? Yet the war is on. Some of the
flower of English soldiery have fallen be-
fore these people who are desperately fight
ing for their country and liberty. Hundreds
of them have fallen, too. All! the pity of
1t all. Little wonder that England's queen
mourns and cannot be comforted. Surely
this cruel war could have been averted,
had not the question of supremacy over
ruled the promptings of humanity. Picture
the British lion attacking, in its den, a
small creature of the wilds, whose courage
has proven daunuess. On account of the
preserve force" of the lion the smaller ami
NAL seems doomed. Even the monster must
feel pity for a handful of people who are
ready to die for what they believe to be
their rights. If the Anglo-Saxon would re-
main the dominant race let its rule be one
of equity not of oppression While the
'Murmurer' is endeavoring to be "a worthy
American" let him not forget that it is even
more needful to be a consistent disciple OF

only as a scientist but as a politician, re-
ceiving from the respect and confidence of
his state some of the highest honors in its
power to confer

y She was of a modest, timid shrinking ma

Many men who have attained distinction
have attributed their greatness to their
mothers, and it is a fact of history that
nearly all great men have been the sons
of great women. Another instance of this
Is to be found in the mother of James D.
Richardson, leader of the democratic side
of the house of representatives.
Mrs. Richardson, who is now IS years of
age is undoubtedly a woman possessing as
great intelligence and wisdom as one might
reasonably expect to find in the mother
of such a son.
Her life has been a very remarkable one.
Her early years were SO full of incidents
of historic value and of romantic interest
that they would form the basis of a plot

TWO EXPLANATIONS

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
The first paragraph Of the leading edito-
rial in this mornings Age-Herald is:
"Montevallos Option Mcney.-The Ash
vile Aegs congratulates the Montevallo
school upon having Its land back and $500
option money to boot. If the Aegis has any
evidence that Montevallo has received, or
is about to receive, the option money, 1t
should bring it forward No one else has
any such evidence. The wording of the OPP
ton is still withheld from the public, and
the whereabouts of the option money is
also a mystery"
1t is amazing that you should have writ
ten these statements, when you could have
had the simple truth for the asking.
At the meeting of the trustees, held July
40, 1T was called to their attention that
tract of land of about 100 acres adjoining
the grounds of the school, two Sides
was then advertised for sale, and they were
very necessary for the uses of the school,
as all of the drainage, sewerage, etc, from
the school could get no other outlet except
over this land, and in addition piece of
this land lay between the grounds of the
school and the public road or street on that
side, and they were exceedingly fertile and
capable of producing all the vegetables.
small fruits, milk and butter needed for
the pupils boarding in the school.
Governor Johnston advised the trustees
that 1t would be well to buy these lands, as
we could pay for them with the money re-
ceived for the option ON the lands given
to the school by the federal government.
The trustees, without one dissenting voice,
adopted resolution authorizing the COVER
nor to have the title examined, and If good
to buy these lands for the school.
Under the governors direction made an
examina ton of the title and reported it
good, and he directed that I buy them for
the school. I did this at public auction In
Montevallo in the presence of fifty or more
men, and when the purchase was known
to be for the school those present APP
plauded, and the details were published in
several of the papers of the state, and
generally approved. Shortly afterwards
Governor Johnston sent me draft for the
option money and enough more to pay for
the lands thus bought, and every dollar
received by the trustees for that option was
invested in this tract of land of about 101
acres. The sale and the payment of the
purchase money were duly reported to the
probate court of Shelby county, under

From the Birmingham News.
Montgomery, Ala, December s.-Mr.
Chappell Cory, private secretary to the gov
ernor, says that there is no mystery about
the forfeiture by Mr.. DeBardeleben of the
$500 he put up as bonus to secure the
option on the Montevallo school land. The
check was deposited with the secretary of
the treasury and is now in his hands. The
governor stated In a speech in Jackson
county yesterday that the money had been
forfeited TO the school and that the incl
dent was closed as far as he was concerned.
