historian seems TO have prompted the writing
of this little book. which is charming addition
TO the cartographcal lore of pre-revolutionary
times.
Mr.. Andrews takes occasion to remark upon the
rarity of early American engraving in general.
Not more than three or four impressions exist Of
any such engraving executed before the middle
of the eighteenth century, of which he gives sew
eral striking examples. Not even the German
xylographic prints of the fifteenth century
ceed in rarity these incunabula. For this reason
the reports which come at intervals from vari-
sources of the finding of original Bradford
maps have in them element of righteousness
20 students of Mr. Andrews's seriousness. This
seriousness is admirable check on the work
of others who deal more largely with historical
matters. Mr.. Andrews has made out his case,
to all appearances. but do not understand
that he throws any further discredit on the
valuable historical work of DR.. Fiske.

CURRENT TALK OF THINGS PRESENT

A friendly critic of Deacon Bradbury" Edwin
Asa Dix's novel of New-England life, has at
tempted to make a point by showing that the
incident of Charlie Bradbury's writing to his
mother under cover of letters remailed through
the postmaster of another city is impossible
because the postal regulations directly forbid
postmaster thus to remail a letter with
out indorsing on it the name of the place from
which it to him. Mr.. Dix is not to be
so caught however. and points out that this
regulation did not go into effect till 1879. while
the events described in Deacon Bradbury are
supposed to take place in 1871.

The Immediate cause of the publication Of this
little monograph was statement by DIR. John
Fiske in one OF his books (Mr. Andrews curously
ornits to state which one in his reference 20
volume and page, though IL turns out TO be
dutch and Quaker Colonies''), regarding the
I.yne map of New-York City. DR.. Fiske, IN this
unlucky paragraph, and I'm the plate which he
incorporates in mis- book, has mistaken repro
duction OF that map, known the Bradford
map for the original, and has given wider cur
rency 10 an already current error as TO the
date, calling IL 172s instead OF 1871. Now the
original map is excessively rare; only two copies
OF IL known TO Mr.. Andrews to exist, Of
which is in his own possession. The other
was given TO the New-YoTk Historical Society
IL 1907. On the other hand reproductions OF 81
are common. Mr.. Andrews enumerates nine OF
bers for advertising purposes. IN matter SO
important determining the early topography
OF the first city OF the New World, absolute ac-
curscy is highly desirable; and, following the

book Truth is the highest thing that man may

A game of ball for fun is announced some blood may get mixed up In 1t, but that feature has not yet been decided upon. The players who will do this fun are to be dignified by team names of leans and fats from the Birmingham lodge of Elks.

 ''The Golden Giant Mine" will be the bill this afternoon and again to- night. The wellknown Duo, Kieffer and Diamond, will be seen between the acts next week. Kieffer and Diamond need no introduction to Birmingham audience, as they have been seen here many times before and have many friends here.

preciate. We pray that this relation may not be disturbed
 The negro does ask however that since he Is taxed, works the roads, is punished for crime, Is called upon to de- fend his country, that he have some humble share in choosing those who shall rule over him, especially when he has proven his worthiness by becoming a tax payer and worthy, reliable citizen. While the amount of direct taxes paid by the negro is small all will acknowledge that he fs a large factor in enabling some one else to pay taxes; for the negro who rents a farm or a house not only pays the rent, but indirectly the taxes also.
 Must Be Just and Fair.
 We rejoice in that we have reached a period in our development when we can speak in frank but friendly terms of the objects of your convention, the chief aim of which is the wise and just govern ment of all the people of Alabama In this high purpose your petitioners agree and sympathize with you. We are all owners of property and tax payers and have the same interest in good govern ment that you have. We know that the task before you is a delicate, trying and perplexing one. In this connection we desire to add that. in our humble opinion, while there may be doubt and uncertainty in many directions, one is absolutely and unmistakably clear-that nothing that is not absolutely just and fair will be per- manently successful.
 Any law which will merely change the name and form of fraud, or can be in terpreted as meaning one thing when ap- piled to one race and something else when applied to another race, will not, in our opinion, improve our present condi- tions, but may unsettle the peace and thrift of our people and decrease the wealth and prosperity of Alabama.
