It is pleasant to controvert with a courteous contemporary, if controversy there must be, hence we give space to this from The Birmingham Ledger:
 The Ledger simply remarked on the then said that The Advertiser was cham pion of the movement. That was harm less compliment, as 1t still appears to The Ledger. The Advertiser says 1t is 1t thinks 1t ought. As The Ledger never said that The Advertiser championed the movement improperly, It fails to see where 1t was wrong.
 at this end of the line, and The Ledger still thinks 1t a little unkind in The Ad- vertiser to want to clip the growing pow CTS of Jefferson. but 1t has never denied the right of any paper or person 10 do 50. The Advertiser has right to its own way in the matter, but it must allow oth- CTS to hold opinions and to preserve memory of the deeds done to Jenerson'
 Now, we protest against having The Advertiser set down as the champion of new counties, and we further protest against the intimation that this paper has any desire present or prospective actual or contingent, to "clip the grow ing powers of Jefferson" We are proud of Jefferson as one of the subdivisions of our State which is doing so much to make Alabama and her products and her wealth famous and noted in all the ends of the civilized earth. And we want Jefferson and Birmingham tC keep on growing in wealth and pros per.ng and waxing fat till even the edi' tors are satisfied.
 And we say further, in all sincerity that we do not now know of any new county movement which The Advertiser feels called on to champion or in whicf we should feel at liberty to interfere Yet, we are fully impressed with th' conviction that there are or will b' such changes in conditions as will ren der it a grievous burden and wrong or the people in some cases to be deprived of the power to form a new count! when their convenience and welfare de mand 1t, and they are desirous of mak ing a change. It is not that we hav
 any case of the kind in view. or tha
 we have the most remote desire to SC I any present county injured by the rap
 of its territory. We simply argue tha
 the new Constitution ought not to in
 terpose for all time a bar against relic
 which the people themselves may wan
 and stand in need of.
 But we assure The Ledger that w
 have no desire to clip Jefferson.

CHANGING HISTORY.

Your modern explorer IS great
 maker of history. and not infrequentiy
 an unmaker of 1t as well. He Is con- tinuaIly exploding old fables of impos- sibie monsters which our ancestors be-
 Iieved to exist. and on the other hand
 he is proving that animals which the scientists cIassed as prehistoric are still to be found among the living.
 | It is well known that the mammoth
 $ ciassed among the extinct or pre- historic animals, remains of which have
 been found and the skeletons restored.
 It may be that it is really extinct, but | for years there have been continual ru- mors of the existence of living speci- mems in the unexplored regions or America. The Indians insist that the animals live and that they have seen them within recent years; all of which may be a myth. but it need not be a matter of surprise if this great man. | malion is yet found to be an actual | inhabitant of earth. If any of them still survive. they will be found, with out doubt.
 Another animal which the scientists and explorers are hot-foot after is the
 giant sloth. or, Mylodon, which is re- puted to exist somewhere in the wilds 1 of Patagonia. It belonged to the same family of the sloths which are still to | be found, but the bones which have
 been unearthed show that it was a gi- gantic animal which could browse on the foliage of the trees. and was fit lcompanion of the other monsters whose bones are dug up in various parts of the world. 1t is classed asa strictly pre- historic animal, yet such persist ent rumors have of late years been circulated about it that a scientific ex- petition is even now engaged in explor- ing parts of Patagonia, with the hope of finding living speciments. If they succeed it will be link connecting the immensely distant past with the living
 present.
 Still another historic animal was
 the okapi, or heladotherium. as they
 name it, which Sir Henry Johnston
 now exploring in Africa, declares he has found. and that specimens of il
 will shortly be sent to England. The | thing seems to be a sort of combination
 of horse. ass and COW. bigger than any
 of them, and capable of being put tc
 various uses, not the least of which is
 the claim that its flesh is better than
 beef or mutton. If it really exists and can be successfully domesticated and
 grown. 1t may form an important ad-
 dition to the meat supply of us mod.
 ern flesh-eaters. And if Sir Henry
 also finds the prehistoric giraffe, or ii
 he has already found it, as is claimed
 he will still further unite the past and
 present. and will add to the difficulty
 of deci1ing just what animal life has
 or has not ceased to exist. But they
 are upsetting history. all the same.

1 ium may swing too far in the other di- recticn and that the Governor may be so hedged about with Constitutional inc
 hibitions and prohibitions that he may Ee really embarrassed in the proper execution of his duties of his office is true, but we think there are enough
 level heads in the Convention to pre-
 vent tais. and to only hedge the Gov ernor's office about with such safe
 guards as will make him more ready to devote all his time and talent to the duty of giving to the whole people of Alabama the very best administration
 of which he is capsble. That the Con- vention wishes to remove from the Gov ernor both the temptation and the
 power to prostitute his high office is no reflection on any men who may hold
 that position.
 By the way, we note that the Virginia Convention is taking some of the same precautions that ours has done. and the | following ordinance was introduced in-
 to that body lest Friday:
 Resolved. That no member of the Gen | eral Assembly, during the term TOT Wnlcn | he shall have been elected, shall be ap- | pointed or elected by the Governor, or | by the General Assembly, or by either branch thereof, tn any civil ofhce or profit under the Commonwealth. except | offices filled by election by the people This is a sweeping and ironclad ordi-
 nance, and will, if made part of their
 new Constitution. hold members of the
 Legislature down to the duties and re-
 responsibilities of the office to which the people elected them. tI is possible that such a Constitutional straight jacket may prevent the best man from | seeking or accepting the office of legis- lator. and this consideration may be sufficient to defeat the proposition, but
 the fact that ordinances of this kind
 are introduced shows that the evil of
 using one office as merely d stepping
 stone to a better one is becoming un-
 popular, and that Constitution makers
 are looking to its abolition.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1901-06-26
HEWING To THE LINE.

Discussing the Alabama ordinance to make the Governor ineligible to the office of United States Senator, The Washington Times says:
 It may very fairly be urged that when the people have elected a man to the Gubernatorial office. the election has some reference to his supposed fitness for the performance of it's duties, and that the people are entitled to his ser vices for the full period of his term. If it is necessary for him to resign for strictly personal reasons which in no way concern the public his right to do 80 may be conceded; but If ne resign merely to accept some other office for which, perhaps. he IS not the choice oi the people, 1t is their privilege to object And this has frequently been done.
 There is much force in the argu- ment of The Times, and the reasons given why the Governor should not re- sign for the purpose of accepting the position of Senator operates much more powerfully against leaving it in his mower to use the executive office as a lever with which to pry himself into the higher and more important position. II fact, the delegates in our Convention seem determined, as far as lies in theil mower. to remove from the Governor al temptation to prostitute his office tc his own advancement or to use the pat ronage and perquisites of his officia nosition as a means of paving his Wa! to higher office. s.. ...-.-

A Brave Soldier.

Editor The Advertiser:
 In your issue of May 31 is an article entitled Knew No Fear" giving an account of a bravely fought duel be- tween Col. Belo and Capt. Cousins. In this artisle there is an incidental ret- erence 10 a Major Terrell. Now 1t is this same Major Terrell that has inter- ested me most. If am not mistaken Terrell was afterward Lieutenant Col onel of the Forty-seventh Alabama (my reglment. and Brig. not Maj. Gen. Law of Tuskegee commanded Hoods old brigade made of the Forty seventh, Forty-fourth. Fourth and Fifteenth Alabama Regiments. Ma jor. to us Col,g Terrell was selected by the Forty-seventh Alabama Regiment as Lieutenant Colonel the first oppor- tunity, simply for his noble manhood in general and his great intrepidity in particular. It seemed to require the greatest aggressiveness of the enemy to make his nerves the most serene. The hotter the fight the quieter his nerves The most beautiful part of all tfis bravery IS 1t was all without gusto.
 It was cn the 1st or 2d of June. 'G4, the first or second day before Cold Harbor" his equanimity was so finely displayed. Grant was executing one Of lelt d HECK U h6Ch ioSC was on. We had been moving to our right in a turkey trot gait for some hours The Tanks seeing our attenu- ated lines determined to go to Rich mond then and there and not wait for Cold Harbor effort. Some smart Alec, sub officer no doubt, conceived the plan to suppldnt Grant on the spur of the moment by a dash to fame and so on Us they came. Oh! Col. Terrell Where was he? An! there he stood not like "stonewall," more like business man." with field glass in hand as coolly surveying their onslaught as a tourist would a mountain crag ar valley be- low. The whistling ball and scrceching shell were alike ignored oy him. Al Bermuda on the James he captured a "Yank' and used the Yankees carbine on the retreating enemy. but in few moments afterwards, while critictzing Pickett's men to our left, who had not carried their portion of the works of | the enemy, he was wounded in the shoulder but holding to his captured | carbine, was carried to the rear bleed- ing.
 Col. Terrell's wound got well just in | time for him to return and take the regiment into a fight on the Darby ! Town Road" in October, '64, and there I
 received a mortal wound in the groin | He was carried to Richmond where he | died. The writer was present at the | funeral, which took place from | church adjoining the Capitol Square | the remains being buried In Holly Eooc | Cemetery.
 Col. Terrell was loved by his mer and they believed had he been ad | vanced, to high command would have | proved himself an able leader, since or several occasions he displayed ability c'

He Was a Fine Confederate Soldier. Milton Journal.
 Probably 1t is not generally known that there is living among us quite an interesting character in the person of our fellow townsman the venerable John McA. Smith. Mir. Smith is Scotch by birth, having been born near Glas- gow. He caine to the United States long prior to the Civil War and engaged in business at his trade, that of moul- der. in several places in the South, and when the war broke out 1t found him at Montgomery. Ala. As the Con federacy was at that time much Tn need of ordnance MT. Smith under took the task of casting a cannon, be- ing eminently successful, and there after casting two others. The first gun was l2.pounder. which was brought to Pensacola and engaged in the defense of that city. But by some means this cannon. which was mounted on boat in the Bay, was capsized ana has lain at the bottom of Pensacola Bay for thirty nine years.
 Why should it not be good move to fins up this old cannon from its resting place and have 1t preserved as a relic of the time that tried mems souls! !! Why would 1t not be the right thing to do for Alabama or Florida to bestow a pension upon Mir. Smith or in some other manner fittingly recognize his work done at time 1t was needed? The old gentleman is now S2 years fage but he bears the accumulation of years well, being quite active for | one so old. He is a trifie eccentric especially in some of his expressions, | favorite with him being: How do you do, I tell ye?" when greeting a friend.
