 The killing of Howard occurred on the Red Bridge Road. rear the city limits. several months ago. The two men. up to the very instant the fatal shot was fired. were apparently good friends.

GOES TO REUNION.
Judge Fuller will Join War Com rades at Barachias Today.

rades at Barachias Today.
 Judge J. B. Taller will leave today to attt nd a reunion of Company c, s0th Ala bama Confederate regiment at Bara- ckias.
 The reunion of the survivors of this old company, of which Judge Fuller was a member. will continue two days, today and tomorrow.
 The company was originally part of Hilliard's Legion but later became part of the 60th Alabama Regiment. The men who composed the company were from Montgomery and Pike counties. It was commanded by Captain P. II. McCann. who still survives. He is a prominent citizen of Houston, Tex, and he is fre- QuentIy heard from by his old comrades.
 The Barachias reunion will not be a large one. The survivors of the old com pany are pathetically few in number. Only twelve of the men who formed the company are living in Alabama. At tho annual reunion last year eight of the sur vivors were present.
 Death has in the past year summoned two of those who safely indured the hardships and emerged from the peril of the great war. John I. Wall of Macon and Lewis Jones of Montgomery have passed over the river since the lastvgath- ering.

 OF THE ALABAMA SUPREME COURT

nayee of a note against an endorsei thereon. where the complaint alleges that suit was not brought against the maker to the first term of the court to whicn it could be brought after the maturity of the note, but that the plaintin was m duced to delay in the institution of suit by the promise of the defendant as en- dorser to pay said note, plea which setf up that the alleged promise Of the oe' fendant upon which plaintiff relies Tor re- covery as against these defendants, was wholly without consideration, is insuHi' cient as a defense and subject to de- murrer.
 6. Action against endorsers of note; ad- instability of evidence,-In an action against two endorsers of a note, where the allegations of the complaint are sufficient to show that each of the de- fendants separately endorsed said note, any evidence on the part of either oi them that he made the several and indi- vidual promises to pay the debt $ good as against him, and evidence tending to show that each defendant recognized the debt as his individual obligation and made such promises is admissible in evil dence.
 7 Same; same.-In an action by the payee against an endorser of a note.
 
 the defendants had promised to pay said indebtedness, and by reason of such promise the plaintiff was induced to delay the institution of the suit against the maker until after the first term to which it could have been brought. evidence of the soIvency of the maker of the note at the time 1t fell due, and the amount of property owned by the maker and its value, is entirely irrelevant to any issue in the case and Is inadmassible.
 & Same;. same.-In an action by the payee of a note against the endorsers thereon, where 1t is alleged in the com plaint that the defendants had promised to pay said indebtedness, and by reason of such promise the plaintiff was in- duced to delay the institution of the suit against the maker until after the first term of the court to which 1t could have been brought, and such promise is denied by the plaintiffs, and 1t is shown that the maker of the note was @ corpora tion, it is competent for the plaintiff to show that the defendants, who were the endorsers of said note owned a majority of the capital stock of the corporation which was the maker of said note at the maturity of said note.
 g. Same; same,-In such a case the tes- tirlony of witness that the defeadanti had stated. to him that they had prom ised the plaintiff to pay said note, is ad- missable in evidence.
 10. Same; saTne.-In such case, a let ter written by one of the defendants tc the brother of the plaintiff, which shows an individual promise by said defendant to pay said note, is admissible in evi- dence.
