COL. o. K. M'LEM0RE.

The August Issue of The Confederate Veteran contains a sketch of Col owen K. McI.emore. of Chambers, in which there are two or three material errors. Speaking of his appointment as Major of the I4th Alabama Regiment in September. 1881, the account adds that this Regi- ment had won golden laurels at the first battle of Manassas" The 14th was not in that battle for the very good reason that the Regiment was not organized un- til, after the first Manassas was fought. The error doubtless grew out of the fact that Colonel McLemore was temporarily on duty under General Beauregard and fought at Manassas. Another reason for the error is that the 4th Alabama was in the first Manassas battle and McLemore was afterwards elected Lieutenant Col onel of that Regiment, though not in May, 1861, as the article in The Veteran states. but in 1862. So. while he was in the first great battle of the war, and while the Regiment to which he after wards belonged was in the, tattle. the l4th. of which he was Major, was not at  the first Manassas. tase. The article in The Veteran states that Colonel McLemore was fatally wounded at Sharpsburg. We have always under stood that he wound which caused his death was received at Boonsboro, some days before the great battle of Sharps- burg was fought. but this may be an error. Whether at Boonsboro or Sharps- burg, however. he fell at the head of his regiment, doing his duty as one of the noble band of young men who gave their lives for the cause they loved So well. He was only p years\ \old when he dled. but had won an enviable repu- tation as a capable and gallant officer.
 He was son of Hon. Charles McI.e- more. one of the most prominent of Cham bers Countys many good citizens.

The certificates of.the election managers were accepted as correct and from these cer- made by the Secretary and myself. Im- mediately upon the completion of this list, and before an opportunity of veri- lying the same was given, the commit tee, composed of farmers residing some distance from town, who were desirous of leaving for their homes, adjourned. giving to the Secretary and myself au- thority and instructions to verify the list and make returns in accord with the certificates from the several beats
 The Secretary, whose business called him away left with me his memoran- dums, signed several official certificates in blank and imposed on me the task of completion.

As soon as discovered maue request for the change in the figures to accord with the facts and felt that I had the authority to do so.

HE FIRST MADE REVOLVER.
Joseph Shirk Inventor of This Mod
 ern Weapon of Destruction.

The majority of people can scarcely re- member the time when there was no re- volver, yet tho fact is that 1t is a modern weapon and in it's form of real efficiency is less than half a century old. It was the invention of Joseph Shirk, a citizen of Lancaster County, Penn, county which also boasts of Robert Fulton, who, if not the inventor of the steamboat was certainly the man that introduced the art of steam navigation successfully and Is largely to be credited with the wonderful results which have followed and it's Revolutionary effects on commerce and civilization.
 Before the civil war there were the old-fashione1 pepper-bOxes, which were dangerous to the user; then came the navy" which had to be loaded like a musket. each barrel requiring separate attention, and usually being ineffective except at point-blank range. Then fol- lowed the present weapon of destruction. which Is much more effective than the musket of our fathers. Out of the re- voIver was evolved the repeating rife of today, which has so far changed the whole tactics and strategy of war that Jean De Bloch felt that great war could never again take place. Had he lived to see the end of the late war in South Ali rica he would have been confirmed in his views. co

wEALTHIEsT ROYAL FAMILY.
Russian Reigning House Said te
 Have the Distinction.

The Russian reigning house has, it is said greater wealth than any other royal family in the world. In the Rev. H. N. Hutchnson's Living Rulers of Mankind" 1t is said that the minimum revenue that the Czar derives from the crown and State domains Is estimated at g, 5000 900 a year. More than forty mem bers of the imperial family not in direct line of succession draw revenues from landed estates set aside for that purpose by Emperor Paul 1. To these estates is given the name of the imperial append ages: they cover an area of 100000 acres, larger than Scotland. and the total in- come derived from them is $l0, 0O00 900. Be- fore the emancipation of the serfs S00,o oOO peasants were attached to these vast es- tates, and were in a sense the property of their owners.
 Another item of the vast wealth of the imperial family, we are further told. Is the quantity of jewels its members pos sess.
 The Russians love gems. Serfs have toiled to fashion these wondrous jewels; Emirs 2 "'~hs, the vassals of the Czar. ha' them at his feet. The English 4 :do-s daughter said. laughing. that when Alexander III. pre- scented the various Grand Duchesses. la dies of the imperial family. with most costly jewels on the occasion of his cor onation. they thought nothing of the gifts, but tossed them carelessly in a drawer. To ladies so plentifully supplied with pearls and diamonds fresh neck lace or tiara was a thing of small ac- count.

The Republican-Dsmo newspapers are now making war on Tom L. Johnson. These papers are determined that no Democrat shall escape few daubs of 4 mud Let any Democrat be spoken of for the Presidency and immediately the whole chain of subsidized papers begins to howl at him.-Birminsham Ledger.
 If The Ledger isn't careful. it will surely wok itself into that class of newspapers which are little credit to Ala bama journalism. It already speaks of Republication and 'subsi- dized" papers as glibly as The Alabamian or any other antiDemocratic sheet does. and will set into the same class if fl keeps on. We had better hopes of The Ledger. and trust 1t may mend its ways. Sneers at papers which refused to sup port Johnston are not indulged in by newspapers which make any pretence to fairness and decency. and The Ledger should be the last to initiate them. And its refusal to see that Tom Johnson is not the man to unite or lead the Democ- racy of the country Is not creditable to its intelligence or perspicacity.

People sometimes wonder why trusts flourish so in New Jersey. and a corre- spondent of The Kansas City Star gives this as one reason:
 The business of granting charters to corporations is exceedingly profitable to New Jersey It pays the expenses of tine State and more. In 1901 the receipts from new charters granted, the tax on those and prior charters the tax on railroad corporations added together paid the or dinary expenses of the State. put q, ,000, 900 to the credit of the school fund, gave H.00o,000. to various municipal funds and put something by way of surplus in the States old stocking under the hearth. No wonder New Jersey thinks the trust Is good thing.
 No wonder the State will grant char ter to any kind of corporation when the profits pile up in that style. It pays the State and relieves the people of much taxation.
