the number of bad accidents which con-
stantly are happening was one OF the rea-
sons for Mr.. Vanderbilt deserving the
fashionable sport of which he has been
the leader.
A number of others members of the
smart set in New York and Newport have
disposed of their horseless vehicles for
one reason or another. but the impelling
cause in most cases ha been the reckless
manner in which some owners drive their
machines and which has caused them to

What effect the example of Mr.. Wander

those familiar with the circle in which
he moves predict his friends will soon
follow him in giving up the auto habit
and either dsposng of their vehicles or
at least leaving them in their stables.

Clean and White.

Editor The Advertisers:
booklet purporting to contain the
record of William d. Jelks as Governor
of Alabama, the pages of which are all
clean and Whites in evidence
on the streets of Montgomery. Singular
iy. it is circulated by Johnston follow
ers Its clean, white pages speak with
mute eloquence of the POLITICAL cleanli-
ness of Alabamas Chief Magistrate. He
may have done but little as Governor,
but there has been no great deal for him
to do--not even the disposal of any school
lands. If there is much truth in the
charge against his honorable opponent,
the witnesses of the pages bespeaks a
singularly beautiful contrast.

JOHNSTON AND THE VETERANS
One of the Latter Recalls the Re
cord.

Editor The Advertiser:
A Johnston speaker, at one of the meet
ings here, when confronted with the long
list of ex-Confederate soldiers whom
Johnston Immediately turned out of office,
replied that he put out none who were
worthy"
Here is a list of some of those turned
out in this County: Lane, a one-legged
veteran. Waterman; O'Brien. a gallant
lrishman, all SCARED with wounds,
Waterman; Harvey E. Jones, Railroad
Commissioner one-leg, Adjutant General
of Confederate Veteransa DR.. Nicholson,
gallant old soldier, turned off the Board
of Revenue; John Gindrat Winter, denied
a second term as Judge; P. Sanguinetti,
kicked out of the Ordnance Department
One of the harshest case was Lane, a
very brave soldier. who had only one leg
and helpless family. He even voted for
Johnston; but as Oates put him in and
he was not an original Johnston man, not
even his MANNED condition. his old age
and his helpless family could save him
from the love of Comrade Johnston for
the old veterans" God pity the Confed-
crate veteran who votes to put such a
man in Office again. U. C. V,

We acquit General Harrison of any

effort to make the position he occupies
as head of the Confederate Veterans of
Alabama boost for the political for

responsible for that circular are guilty
OF great outrage on the Confederate

they first saw it, General Harrison, in
his character of public speaker and pub

put forth that the Governor was an I'M
willing executor of policy which he had
no right to reject, and that he had been
the unwilling instrument in carrying out
the wishes of the State Board of Health.
That was not true. The State Board of
Health could order him TO do nothing.
It did not give him any bad advice in
the start as to his policy. The Board
had no meeting at which such measures
were brought forward or discussed. They
came from the brain of the Governor
himself. He made n spectacular exhibit
Purifoy, one of his appointees, to leave
Auburn and go out of the State for a
while, because he had been exposed to
the fever in Mobile. The Governor was
fond of power. He insulted Admission by
a lawless quarantine. because 1t would
not drive out two young men from here
who had not been exposed to fever and
attended a wedding in that city. I'm
mindful of the fact that his oversight of
the state quarantine laws had not pre-
vented tne IeNeF rum SPioa"iiS iui 'hei
than ever in Alabama. he determined to
add to the horrors Of the situation by re-
lentlessly applying the rule which he in
vented, and of which he seemed enam-
ored, in spite of protest, remonstrances,
and abundant evidence of it's surprising
folly and cruelty. Later on, he impro-
vised a sort of State Board of Health at
the place of his flight, and got some
members of the regular Board, by per-
suasion to try to bolster up what they
had not advised. or dreamed OF. in the
first instance. Common sense, humanity
and decency of the people of Alabama
and the best minds in the medical pro-
fession revolted against his silly, and iA1
