Alderman ]. F. Graham has returned
from trip to the West He reports having
been in a snow storm while in the vicinity
of Denver and of having seen a heavy
frost In the western part of Kansas
Mr.. Graham says that while in Denver
he struck up with man who offered to go
on tramp over the Rockies with him.
They started out and for one whole day
walked, with only an occasional stop for
rest or refreshments. The second day they
went on an excursion to point two hun
dred miles distant from Denver, and the
third day was passed with short trips
through the section Immediately surround
ing Denver Mr.. Graham states that late
in the afternoon of the third day his COM
panion was so completely exhausted that
he had to go to bed and send for doctor.
Mr.. Graham tells Of a primary election
he witnessed while in Denver that afforded
him considerable amusement and gave him
an insight into the workings of politics in
the State of Colorado. Some years ago q
woman suffrage law was enacted in that
State. Women are not only eligible to vote
but to hold office as WELL In this particu-
lar primary election of which Mr. Graham
speaks the women were the most active
campaigners and workers he ever saw. He
says that as is the case here and elsewhere
in the South every vehicle was pressed into
service to carry voters to the polls, but
contrary to the custom here these vehicles
were all in the charge of women. In many
instances there were women drivers. They
went all about the city picking up every
voter they came across who had not
already voted. 1t made no difference what
the color or sex might be, the women poll
ticians placed the carriages, buggies or
whatever vehicle they had at their service
and drove them to the polls.
Mr.. Graham says he watched with con-
siderable interest and not without amuse-
ment the methods and influences the
women political workers brought to bear on
those who had not already voted to go and
do SO. An election day in Birmingham, he
said, is exceedingly quiet when compared
with an election day in Denver. There he
saw white men and white women pushing
their way through lines of negro men and
negro women, and negro men and negro
women pushing and elbowing their way
through the crowds of white people in Or
der to reach the polls.

Early in the morning two negro boys
appeared at the plant of the Birmingham
Packing Company leading a Jersey COW,
which they were anxious to dispose of at
any sum named by the purchasing agent
of said company. Their agreement to
drop of So in the price SO surprised the
agent that he at once became suspicious
and sent for the police. The boys fled,
leaving the COW behind them. Here the
officers were confronted with a grave
problem. No one had any idea as to the
identity of the owner of the COW, as it
was now clear that the animal had been
stolen. Finally mounted officers Cole and
Shirley arrived, and after discussing the
matter at length bright idea struck them
and they decided to try an experiment The
old cow was taken some distance away and
turned loose with instructions to imme-
diately depart for home. The animal was
evidently homesick and tired of her strange
company, and Immediately began the jour-
ney to the barn of her master.
1t was something like

awaited the faithful cows arrival
Later the two negroes were caught and
confined in jail, charged with grand lar

AN APPEAL
For the Benefit of Orphan Chill
dren

The great movement for raising what
is known as the Twentieth Century fund,
an educational thank-offering, is moving
on apace, and the outcome will be of
worldwide Importance. Christian educa-
ton will receive impetus 1t has never
yet known, and the general spirit of this
great section of the church Will doubtless
realize a healthiness of tone that will re-
new it's pristine spiritual power in our be-
loved Alabama.
The educational institutions of the church.
richly merit the help they will receive,
as they rank with our best seats of learn
ing, and all good people will rejoice to see
their prosperity; but would it not be the
rignt thing for the Orphans Home at
Summerfield to share in this munificence
also? 1t is an organization of the two Ala
bama Conferences, and Is doing a great
work, but like all other institutions of the
kind, 1t needs the constant fostering care
OF the people. Nearly 800 helpless orphans,
regardless of sectarian considera tione
have found shelter here, and The present
inmates are being cared for and educated
at this institution. 1t ought not so to be,
but it is a struggle to maintain the Home
and make it what 1t should be in oTaef TO
shape the destinies of these orphan chill
dren for two worlds
Through the secular as we'll as the re-
ligious press of Alabama may we not ask
that a part of this thank-offering fund he
given to help in the education of these lit
tie orphans! Any reader wishing to direct
his or her offering in this way, will please
report to the undersigned, and the same
will be thankfully Acknowledged FIFTY
dollars Will keep child in the Homo ono
year. REV. THOS. H. Jones
