MT. Maben of the Millions.

Most notable bearing and general appear ance, deep, keen and quick eyes, close-set mouth, with half a smile of benevolence which might characterize a sternly upright preacher, rather tallish and angular figure not too rotund-in these you have J. c. Ma ben of New York, fifteen times a millionaire, and chairman of directors and one of the largest owners of that imperial property which pays taxes under the name of the Sloss-shehield company" said an observant man.
 'Mr. Maben is spending few days in Birmingham, holding long consultations with the president and general officers of that great corporation, taking long walks and drives and trolley-journeys about the city and district, and greatly enjoying the wonderfully open and mild springtime weather of the Birmingham winter. He Is therefore far from idle during his rest here in the valley; it is doubtful if MT. Ma ben ever was or ever will be idle in the sense of loiterng or loafing. He would find that sort of way of passing the time very irksome, and couldn't be expected to suffer 1t long. Knowing how best to work, as his great fortune bears witness, he knows also how to rest whenever necessity for relaxation arises.
 "He is one of the notable captains of trade of this day, this Millionaire Maben of New York and Birmingham. In the center of the business world which we designate in restricted form as Wall street. Mir Maben is one of the strongest and most honored of men. His name spells millions, and he knows when, where, and how to use that highly esteemed cognomen. Above all, he hasn't grown rude and uncivl, is not af- ficted with the cheap vulgarity of the aver age man who subscrbes to the plea, Money are power an I is got it..
 Tt is well for Birmingham that MT. Ma ben is largely and keenly interested in it's wel-being. He is going to give us steel plant at North Birmingham, and do many things of public utility"

A THIRD TERM.
From the Ozark Southern Star.

From the Ozark Southern Star.
 Ordinarily we are opposed to giving a third term to a public official, but our op- position does not blind us to our own in- terest and the welfare of our beloved state. Eduoationally Alabama has made rapid progress within the past two years and it is ours to see that that advancement continues without abatement. Alabama is quite fortunate in having Hon. John W. of education, and he has done more for the common schools and the cause of educa- tion than any man in the state. Under his direction the appropriations have been largely increased and needed reforms and improvements have been made, the good influences of which no man is able to seq or foretell It is not wise to unhitch in the middle of stream, and MT. Abercrom- bic should be retained in office long enough to perfect the plans and reforms inau- gurated, by which Alabama will become educationally the brightest in the sister, hood of states. The teachers and patrons owe more to MT. Abercrombie than they are able to pay him and the small salary which he receives can never compensate him for his untiring efforts in behalf of the poor boys and girls who daily knock at the door of knowledge, and visit with eager eyes the halls of learning. Let those who love wisdom and intelligence show their appreciation of the same by crying aloud for the retention of MT. Abercrombie as state superintendent until ignorance and superstition are forever banished.

STEEL MEN RETlCENT,
Will Not Talk About the Combination
 Against Carnegie.

New York, January 18.-The Evening Post says Those who concerned in the steel rail meeting held yesterday in this city and officers of the various steel companies, a part of the Carnegie Company, reticent to- day with regard to increased competition with MT. Carnegie. No facts came to light which would tend to show conclusively that the outside steel mapufacturers were con- ferring and combining with a view to mak- ing competition hotter for the Carnegie Company. The story that the National steel Company, the American Tin Plate Com pany and the American Steel Hoop Com pany were to continue with the American Steel and Wire Company were decided ahead by steel men both within and out side of these companies.

Alabama's Great Gold Fields.

Gold dust from Cleburne county-the actual stuff for which the world is mad glittering index to the vast hidden riches of Alabamas gold county-was left in this newspaper den yesterday by Hon. Jourd White, the famed editor of the Edwards vile Standard-News, who spent the day in Birmingham in connection with certain great plans for the developmet of the inn perial wealth in the valleys and hills of his county.
 T leave you some of the stuff, the real yellow golden sands of Cleburne, so you may see for yourself, said Jourd White, beaming gadness because of his three thou sand acres of gold fields, which need but to be ticked by the implements of progress to blossom into bright bars ready for the mint where the money is made into coin.
 Vast wealth is absolutely and certainly there-splendid development at hand and then there is an end of my toil," said Jourd White in serene confidence and the unas- sumed joy that boyhood might feel And thereupon he drew from his wallet mug get of gold taken from his property but four days ago, and in value worth many years subscription to the Edwardsville Standard-News, and he dwelt most enter tainingly upon the rich stores of such wealth in Cleburne.
 If the good, generous, faithful most high minded Jourd White had read the ll-timed jests and unjust hints of envious persons against his great enterprise, he gave no sign other than pleasure. Seeing is believ- ing. Soon Jourd White will be able to buy every selfish and evil-minded man in Ala bama.

Human Hogs and the Law.

A tidy man in the wilderness of Birming- ham filth said last night
 Something over a year ago the City Council passed an ordinance forbidding spitting on sidewalks, in public buildings and street cars. For some months this or dinance, which was widely published, had the desired effect and Birmingham pre- scented a clean bill for the first time in it's history The first arrest that was made for violation of this ordinance was made at the Union passenger station and the judge of the Inferior Criminal Court ruled that this ordinance could not be enforced unless cuspidors were provided for all of the places embraced in the ordinance Of course 1t was impracticable to do this and now the ordinance is practically obsolete and Birmingham has again it's filthy streets and floors in it's public buildings and street cars Ladies with trailing skirts raise crowd of microbes as they walk the streets and when they get on the cars they have to walk up and down the aisles lock-

 Orange. 2sd Dec, '63." ' Mrs. E. M. Love" q received yesterday your letter of : the 1st inst. in reference to your grd son, w Keith Armistead. have taken " much interest in him from the begin * ming of his career; his amiable disposi- tion, setting aside other considerations, < having attracted me towards him. After the death of his gallant father position with the Chief of Ordinance | of the army was offered him which it E was hoped he would accept, but he pre- ferred to remain with his associates in the ranks. All the best young men in the country are in the ranks. "I think the position of a private sol < dier in the Confederate army is the most honorable in the service" With great respect, "I am your kinsman & obt servant "R. E. LEE" $
 
 How prompt the reply! how direct and candidl The historic value of this letter will not be mistaken The General of the main army of the Confederacy admits that he had observed and had taken much in terest' in a private in the ranks; he then announces his appreciation of the cause in which he was himself engaged by a bold declaration of his personal opinion that "the position of a private soldier in the Confederate army is the most honorable in the service"
 The young Armistead referred to in the letter was son of that Brigadier General of Picketts Division who was killed after mounting the stone fence which was the breast work of Meade's resisting ranks on

Some Business News.

Last January our trade was extremely dull our cash receipts being barely suf. ficient to pay clerk hire, and the situation for us was therefore very discouraging" said one of the largest and best merchants of Birmingham yesterday.
 January is never good month for bu- siness, speaking with reference to compar- isons, and we therefore do not look for great sales, but January of last year was so dull that we rather dreaded the now current month and sought to devise means for improving our January trade.
 'We discovered the remedy for former dullness right enough, as it's application proves to the most gratifying extent.
 We took up one special feature, spe- cialty, if you please, and advertised it lib- erally in the Age-Herald, buying as much newspaper space as we deemed it pru- dent and the result is as to percentage over last January and the preceding ones an extraordinary increase. Our cash re- ceipts so far this month are exceedingly gratifying, and we know it is due solely to our advertising. I do not tell you this for print; I tell you a simple fact in the business news of the day!"
